Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 203 - 134: Got Connected with the Director of Renmin Hospital, and the Boss’s Promises Can Really Come True_3

If there aren't any powerful means for a comeback later on, throwing in hundreds of thousands would mostly go down the drain.

"Dr. Li, you're too humble! When we came here, even the taxi driver couldn't stop praising you and the Sunshine Clinic. I especially love making friends with colleagues like you who have such an upright professional ethos. Let's keep in touch in the future whenever we have time!"

Lian Tao appeared to be genuinely sincere.

At least the impression he left on Li Jingsheng was quite good.

"Haha, as long as Director Lian doesn't mind my humble status as a small clinic doctor, I would be more than happy."

Knowing such outstanding individuals in the medical field has numerous benefits.

"Heroes never ask about their origins. So what if you're a clinic doctor? After seeing your clinic, Dr. Li, I'm even considering whether I should open a clinic for a carefree life after I retire!"

After chatting with Li Jingsheng for a few moments, Lian Tao felt a significant rapport.

Their initial acquaintance seemed to have sparked many ideas for further interactions between them.

"Running a clinic is really tough, but it is indeed free." Li Jingsheng learned this lesson the hard way, giving up his previous job as a resident doctor at a big hospital, amassing debt after opening a clinic, and even losing his girlfriend.

However, if Lian Tao decides to open a clinic after retirement, having a solid financial foundation would presumably not be a problem, and coupled with a strong reputation, the situation should be much better.

"By the way, I definitely will need to consult with the two directors for that infant's follow-up treatment, please don't mind if I bother you!"

Li Jingsheng decided to make the most of this favor.

Director Yang, this old scholar, could rival Director Mu of the Second Hospital's Pulmonary Medicine.

Giving him a favor should earn some goodwill for Li Jingsheng.

"Don't worry, discussing medicine is a righteous cause beneficial to the country and its people. Even if you have doubts in the middle of the night, you can call me." Director Yang understood and appreciated the goodwill offered by Li Jingsheng.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

"Sometimes, with the phone on silent, I might not be able to answer right away. If convenient, why don't you add me on WeChat, Dr. Li?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lian Tao took the initiative to request adding each other on WeChat.

Doctors usually don't easily give out their phone numbers to others.

Needless to say, adding someone on WeChat.

Many chief and deputy chief physicians at big hospitals have hundreds of likes on their WeChat Moments.

However, those qualified to add them are either colleagues, friends, students, relatives, or patients or acquaintances with some status. Ordinary people generally have a low chance of adding them on WeChat.

Originally, Li Jingsheng wasn't in a position to become WeChat friends with an expert like Lian Tao from the People's Hospital.

Now, it seems to be a stroke of luck.

Coupled with the humility and modesty he displayed, which left a very positive impression on Lian Tao, who then proactively offered a chance to add him as a friend.

They added each other on WeChat on the spot. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lian Tao's screen name was in English.

M soldier.

It's unclear what "M" stands for, but the following word means warrior.

Could it be an abbreviation for medicine?

Medicine translated into Chinese refers to anatomy or basic medical sciences.

Li Jingsheng instantly understood the meaning behind the other party's online moniker: medical warrior.

It's a very interesting name.

Compared to Lian Tao, Director Yang was much more reserved, leaving only his phone number with Li Jingsheng and not actively proposing to add each other as WeChat friends.

Perhaps due to his older age, he doesn't use WeChat.

This is less likely.

Given their high levels of education, doctors definitely keep up with the times for easier work communication.

Establishing a work group on WeChat is common.

This suggests Director Yang temporarily has no interest in adding Li Jingsheng as a friend. Naturally, Li Jingsheng wouldn't force it.

After chatting to this point, the conversation was basically wrapping up.

"Young man, we won't disturb you then. Regarding the infant's treatment, feel free to call me anytime."

"Alright, both of you take care!"

Li Jingsheng escorted them to the door.

"It's quite difficult to get a cab around here at night, you need to head out to the main road. Let me take you there!"

"No need, no need, we can walk there ourselves. Goodbye!"

Watching them leave, Li Jingsheng turned around and returned to the clinic.

"Boss, were those two really chief physicians from the People's Hospital?"

Xiaogao approached, full of admiration.

"You didn't think they were impostors, did you?"

"Haha, I just find it incredible that such high-profile individuals came to our small clinic, and two of them at once. The boss is impressive, calm and composed in front of such big shots, simply my idol."

Xiaogao's eyes sparkled with stars.

"What else could I do? Bowing and scraping to ingratiate myself?" Li Jingsheng rolled his eyes. "Keep your back straight! One day you'll understand that the doctors and nurses at Sunshine Clinic have a higher status than chief physicians in elite hospitals."

"Really?"

Xiaogao was filled with boundless anticipation.

"No! To achieve this, we'll need to work together diligently, keep going!"

Li Jingsheng replied earnestly.

Xiaogao's enthusiasm dampened.

"The boss is feeding me dreams again!"

It seems he was fed many dreams when following Boss Zhao before.

"Haha, the boss's dreams are different from others'. They do come true." Tang Ping walked out, changed.

"Niuniu, let's go home! Say goodbye to the two uncles."

"Goodbye, Uncle Li!"

When it was Xiaogao's turn to say goodbye, Niuniu just waved her hand.

"Hey, even a little girl differentiates, but I'm going to be the sales manager for Sunshine Hospital one day."

Xiaogao's words amused everyone.

"Be professional, could you? Hospitals don't have sales managers. If you do well, you might just become the vice president of business instead." Li Jingsheng corrected Xiaogao's mistake.

"Ahem... I was just leaving some room for the boss! Without a bit of error, how can I highlight the boss's brilliance?" Xiaogao said and slipped out before Li Jingsheng could reprimand him. "Goodbye, boss."

With both employees gone, the small clinic suddenly became quiet.

Li Jingsheng pulled down the shutters and began writing medical records and practicing surgical skills.

As for Bone-setting Skills, those require practice on a real person to achieve the best results.

He couldn't possibly dislocate his own arm for practice, right?

The clinic had a pretty good day in terms of business, with medicine sales reaching over 9,700 yuan and treatment income at over 1,300 yuan.

It was quite a profitable day.

While sorting through the attribute panel's income, he was surprised to find his life value increased by 10 points.

It must have been a reward.

After thinking it over, the most likely reason was that Director Yang gave him a good rating.

That traditional old man was good in all aspects, except for being a bit too concerned with face.

...

Days passed by like this.

The treatment Li Jingsheng provided for that infant with diarrhea showed gradually improving results day by day.

Although the infant still had diarrhea, it reduced from five or six times, even a dozen times a day initially, to just once or at most twice a day now.

Moreover, the stool no longer had the jelly-like mucus.

The infant's condition improved by the day, with a paler face gradually turning rosy.

In addition, the treatment for the uncle with short bowel syndrome also saw some success. The uncle's symptoms noticeably improved.

The only concern remained the uncle's financial situation.

He was asked once about his family situation, but he didn't answer.

It was never asked again afterward.

Some patients have very strong self-esteem, and prying too much into their privacy could hurt their fragile dignity.

Since he didn't want to talk about it, it was better to not ask further, focus on treating his illness.

After a boom in customer flow for two days, the clinic started to see a gradual decline. However, daily medicine sales still managed to maintain at five to six thousand yuan, with the treatment side varying.

On bad days, it was just two or three hundred yuan a day, while on better days, it could be as high as a thousand four or five.

However, there hadn't been any big surgeries coming in recently.

In fact, his surgical skills were ready, just waiting for a couple of patients requiring surgery to increase income and also boost his reputation.
