Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 198 - 133: Not What We Expected—Is This a Case of Benefiting from Others’ Disputes?

This approach is indeed highly feasible.

As long as the family can be persuaded to return, Director Yang can successfully identify the cause of the child's illness, and then it can be cured.

By that time, Director Yang's reputation will also be restored, the infant can regain health, the true cause of this complex case can be uncovered, and the doctor's personal CMI score can be increased.

This could be considered a win-win situation.

Spending a little money is totally worth it.

"I think this idea is great, at least worth a try. The teacher is not feeling well and should rest at home; I'll handle this matter."

Director Lian decided to help his mentor.

"As long as the child's illness can be treated, my illness will be cured too. Come on, I'll go with you. Those small clinic doctors are usually very cunning, you lack experience dealing with them, so it would be safer if I handle the contacts with them."

Director Yang was originally bedridden.

But now he got up directly by holding onto the edge of the bed.

"Lian Tao, you haven't eaten yet, right? How about having a meal at my place before we go, my body is still a bit weak now."

Director Yang's illness was entirely a mental one.

Once a solution was found, more than half of the illness was cured.

Presumably, for the past two days in bed, he had no appetite. It's like those in ancient times who fell lovesick and lost interest in food or drink.

Director Yang was holding his breath, determined to find the cause of the infant's illness.

Then prove to all colleagues and society that he is not just a quack doctor who only knows how to check stools.

His wife was extremely happy to see her husband get out of bed and want to eat.

She prepared three simple meals; after eating, Director Lian and Director Yang hailed a cab and headed straight for the Sunshine Clinic.

The driver was a chatty young man in his twenties.

"Are you going to the Sunshine Clinic for a consultation?"

The young man saw the sickly appearance of Director Yang and naturally assumed they were going for a consultation.

Director Lian, worried about his mentor being upset, was about to speak, but Director Yang gestured for him not to worry.

"I want to visit this clinic for a consultation, you often drive around the city, have you heard of it?"

Director Yang was indeed unwell, so he didn't need to pretend to be a patient.

"I've actually heard some things about this clinic. It even made it to the newspapers a while back. Just last week, I drove a customer who specifically came all the way from the north of the city to the south to buy some supplements from this clinic, saying it's reliable and trustworthy."

Director Yang and Lian Tao both reacted subtly to this information.

Lian Tao admired his mentor's insight even more.

Taxi drivers are relatively well-informed people, and from their chat gathered news about the Sunshine Clinic, which surprisingly yielded results.

Hearing that the Sunshine Clinic was on the news, both were quite surprised.

"Looks like it's the right choice to visit this clinic for treatment! It's not common for a small clinic to make the news."

"Exactly! I heard they saved an old lady with a heart attack. The clinic owner personally took her to the hospital before leaving. It's rare to find doctors this responsible these days. When I chat with others in the industry about this clinic, everyone speaks highly of it, saying the owner not only has excellent medical skills but also high medical ethics."

The driver praised the Sunshine Clinic greatly.

If Li Jingsheng, Tang Ping, and others heard this, they'd surely be delighted.

Director Yang and Lian Tao were even more astonished.

Initially thinking it was a shady clinic, they didn't expect its grassroots reputation to be this high.

Now, they were starting to believe what the family had said.

Maybe the clinic really did cure the infant.

Chinese medicine is considered quite mystical.

Sometimes it seems ineffective, yet it can cure illnesses that large hospitals cannot.

Yet, when considered effective, nearly all official hospital doctors hold it in low esteem.

It treats a cold, but it takes at least five to six days to see some effects.

The common cold is originally self-limiting.

For a healthy person with a cold, they may recover in one or two days.

Taking Chinese medicine takes five to six days for it to kick in, and it's uncertain whether recovery is due to the medicine or self-recovery.

"The clinic owner must be quite aged, right?"

Director Yang casually chatted with the driver.

"Seems to be a young doctor. Judging from the newspaper photo, they looked quite young, but it was only a side profile. Aren't you worried they'll be off duty by the time you get there?"

"No worries, if they're closed, we can come back tomorrow."

...

With intermittent chatter, they soon arrived at their destination.

"This is the place. The sign is a bit old, and there's no lighting or anything. Last time I brought that customer here, I had to drive along this street three times before finding it. They thought I was deliberately overcharging them for the fare."

The driver steadily parked the taxi opposite the Sunshine Clinic.

"Thanks, young man!"

The two got out of the car, walked forward while glancing at the shabby sign of the Sunshine Clinic.

"Sir, the taxi driver just said the clinic's medical ethics and skills are good, should we still go in?"

Lian Tao was a bit hesitant.

Primarily because Director Yang's age and frail condition after being bedridden for two or three days were concerning.

If given a shock inside, the consequences could be dire.

"Since we're here, we should definitely go in. I'm really curious to see how competent the doctors at a small clinic can be."

Director Yang had already started walking towards the clinic.

It was now close to 7:20 PM, and the small clinic, brightly lit, was still open for business.

Upon entering, they saw customers buying health products at the counter.

There were also patients receiving consultations beside the diagnosis table.
