Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 176 - 125: Public Sentiment and a Happy Ending (Part 3)

Chapter 176: Chapter 125: Public Sentiment and a Happy Ending (Part 3)

To be honest, using Master Level medication to handle some common diseases or slightly difficult ones is more than sufficient. But when it comes to prescribing for a baby, or treating some very challenging illnesses, it definitely makes one tremble with fear!

What if something goes wrong?

In clinical practice, there’s an iron rule: any drug with severe side effects is usually a good one that can treat illnesses and save lives. Those drugs that claim to cure all without side effects, you should just listen and ignore.

When you’re sick, never choose them.

"Will, will it really take just three days to see results? That’s great, that’s great! Please prescribe the medication for us, we’re willing to stay in your clinic."

The child’s grandmother had been seeking medical treatment for days, going through two major hospitals without success.

She was already extremely anxious.

At this moment, hearing Li Jingsheng say that results might be seen in three days, she was immediately thrilled.

"My small clinic doesn’t offer inpatient treatments and can’t admit patients. Moreover, your grandson’s illness doesn’t require hospitalization; just coming over for regular check-ups will do."

Li Jingsheng’s words made the child’s grandmother even happier.

Hospitalization is indeed a very distressing experience.

Accompanying family members at the hospital for several days can make even a healthy person sick.

After further diagnosis of the baby, Li Jingsheng confirmed that the diagnosis should be correct, and then he prescribed the treatment.

Loratadine tablets and Levocetirizine Hydrochloride can alleviate allergy symptoms to some extent, especially for patients who have been allergic for over a month. Some medication can yield good results.

However, these two drugs are commonly used in clinical practice for children over 2 years and adults.

Clinically, there aren’t many drugs specifically developed for infants.

Many are general-purpose for humans.

However, the medication contraindications will specify that pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and people with hypertension should not use them, and so on.

Pregnant women should avoid taking medication recklessly, mainly due to fears of causing deformities in the unborn baby.

If the child is born with problems, it would be a huge disaster for any family.

Ultimately, Li Jingsheng prescribed loratadine tablets for oral administration to the child.

It was administered in the clinic by Tang Ping.

At the same time, calamine lotion was applied externally to assist with the treatment.

Then, he provided the family with some specific plans.

Stop feeding milk products, it is best to continue breastfeeding. Then prevent the child and adults from coming into contact with dairy products to avoid causing allergies again.

Considering the child is too young and there might be emergencies or accidents.

Li Jingsheng had the family note down the clinic’s phone number.

Actually, it was his personal number.

Call anytime if there’s an issue.

The charges are not cheap, but the medication costs little. The earnings come from skill and risk.

He temporarily charged 1800 yuan.

For treating such a high-risk illness, charging just twenty or thirty yuan would mean his small clinic couldn’t survive.

Compared to the exorbitant fees of large hospitals, if he can truly cure the child’s illness, the 1800 yuan is fully worth it for the family.

It’s even lower than they could imagine.

After the child took the medication, they were observed for a while, and with no issues, Li Jingsheng allowed the family to take the child home.

Return for check-ups every day after 10 a.m.

Because before 10 a.m., he needs to "advance" at the Second Hospital.

Bone Setting skills, earning him 600 yuan today.

Treating the baby’s allergy here earned another 1800 yuan, deducting costs, the gross profit should exceed 2000 yuan.

The treatment for this baby is not a one-time deal but includes follow-up treatment and check-ups for a week or two.

Labor costs, store rent, medication expenses, etc., are all costs.

Earning money with skills is much better than Xiaogao working hard to call others godparents.

And there’s much more honor, with a sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, when fame spreads, there will be a continuous stream of patients coming for consultation.

Xiaogao sells health supplements, and if done well, the income is quite considerable.

But customer loyalty is much less.

After all, health supplements don’t belong to rigid demands.

According to research, over 70% of middle-aged and elderly people in our country are in sub-health status.

What does this mean?

Some chronic diseases, after onset, are not severe, bringing some impact on life but are acceptable.

Thus, they don’t bother going to the hospital for treatment.

For instance, some people find breathing a bit difficult, which may indicate chronic respiratory disease, but it doesn’t affect their normal life, so they don’t seek hospital treatment.

Also, men as they age are prone to back pain, sore knees, frequent urination, etc., these are all illnesses, but untreated, they’ll still survive.

Most people live with illnesses.

When women age, they suffer from more ailments than men.

Furthermore, breast cancer and uterine cancer are two major deadly diseases for women.

Angry women are particularly prone to breast nodules, even though most are benign, but there’s no guarantee they won’t turn malignant.

So, love your wife, love your mother, and try not to upset them.

"Dr. Li, we’ll head back first! Thank you so much today!"

The child’s grandmother is now very polite to Li Jingsheng.

Whether the grandson’s illness can be cured all depends on Li Jingsheng.

It’s equivalent to the grandson’s fate being in Li Jingsheng’s hands, how can she not be respectful?

Gratitude is also part of it.

"Alright! Remember that the first thing to do at home is to ventilate and remove all dairy products. Otherwise, the best medication won’t cure your grandson’s illness."

Li Jingsheng advised the child’s grandmother.

In the household, most affairs are decided by this grandmother, so advising her is effective.

"Absolutely, absolutely!"

The child’s grandmother readily agreed.

"Also, your daughter-in-law needs a lot of nutrition for breastfeeding, look how thin she is, get her some pig trotters, old hens, fish, to supplement her nutrition. Once she’s well-fed, your grandson can eat well, and grow strong. He’s already been delayed for so long; he didn’t gain any weight over a month and lost over a pound. You need to quickly make up for it, understand? Otherwise, when he’s a bit older, everything from finding a partner to getting a job will be difficult."

These are all the ways Li Jingsheng can help the daughter-in-law.

"I’ll go buy it later, and make sure she eats well every day."

The mother-in-law nodded in agreement again.

"It’s best if you take care of the child from now on! I’ll just focus on making nutritious meals for you, I won’t handle childcare anymore."

The mother-in-law said to the daughter-in-law.

Expecting the mother-in-law to admit her mistake is impossible.

It’s already challenging for her to make such a statement.

Li Jingsheng watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leave, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

What he hopes for now is for the child’s illness to recover sooner; honestly, he isn’t entirely confident. Taking on this case was another big step forward in his medical career.

In life, one must be brave to climb new peaks to continually improve.

After treating such a severe and special patient, the gains on the attribute panel should not be small. He couldn’t wait to open the panel to check.
