Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 263 - 154: Luck Never Stops! Old Zhao Gets Into Trouble (Part 3)

Chapter 263: Chapter 154: Luck Never Stops! Old Zhao Gets Into Trouble (Part 3)

"Dr. Gao’s suggestions are great; indeed, some details need improvement."

"Boss, there’s another issue. If multiple customers come in simultaneously to buy medicine, we are understaffed. Sister Tang needs to dedicate a lot of time to prioritize treating patients, and often I’m left handling things alone. It’s really too much for one person, leading to neglecting some customers and reducing their eagerness to return. Plus, it’s super easy to make mistakes when we’re busy. While I understand the clinic faces challenges, I hope you can consider adding more staff."

Xiaogao proactively suggested expanding the team.

Expanding the clinic’s staff is a very serious matter.

It’s not like hiring staff for a supermarket, where the worst-case scenario is losing a few products or customers.

If the clinic hires unqualified staff, any issue could become a major problem.

Even a minor medical accident could be catastrophic for the clinic.

"Let’s not rush this, let’s overcome it together for a few days. For one, the clinic’s business is unstable and fluctuates. Also, recruiting talented individuals takes time; we have to slowly search."

Li Jingsheng must consider both safety and cost when hiring.

The last female intern, who didn’t secure a training position at the university hospital, was a good candidate.

But with the time that has passed, she likely found a job elsewhere.

Li Jingsheng suggested waiting a couple of days to decide on recruitment based on the situation.

At that moment, Li Jingsheng noticed Tang Ping’s peculiar gaze.

She was staring outside the clinic.

Turning to look, he watched a figure quickly leaving.

"The person outside just now seemed to be ’Mr. Chen,’ who used to visit our clinic daily."

Tang Ping said.

"This person hasn’t been around for days." Xiaogao never liked that flashy man.

In fact, it’s not just Xiaogao; all three at the clinic disliked him.

"Why didn’t he come in?"

Li Jingsheng felt curious.

Wondering how Boss Zhao dealt with that guy?

Sometimes, when you offend someone outside, you won’t even know how you end up misfortune.

"No idea. He looks like a completely different person now, frail and heavily beaten, like he’s faced a major setback. Seems he didn’t even shave properly."

Tang Ping was equally puzzled.

A perfectly decent person changes drastically in just ten days.

What could have happened?

"Serves him right for courting Sister Tang."

Xiaogao had no sympathy for the man.

That flashy man always dressed impeccably on his visits as a successful person.

Now he’s wandering with a scruffy beard; the trouble he faced must be significant.

...

The afternoon was busier than the morning, and the total number of patients Li Jingsheng attended to exceeded twenty.

The situation was promising, and he was naturally pleased.

The life points and skill proficiency gained were also considerable.

With determination, he elevated hepatic and gall diagnosis to the master level.

Because among the patients he saw, more than one had liver or gallbladder issues. Improving the hepatic and gall diagnosis level benefits his gastrointestinal diagnostic skills in internal medicine.

Around five in the afternoon, Boss Zhao arrived again.

He stood at the entrance for a while and saw four patients waiting for Li Jingsheng, then directly walked into the clinic.

"Brother Li, there’s something urgent I need to ask you."

Boss Zhao spoke weirdly, like someone was pinching his tongue.

"What’s wrong with your voice, are you okay?"

Li Jingsheng asked ’concernedly.’

The two were now comrades on this street.

Especially after that evening when Station Chief Qiao hosted a dinner for a few people, Li Jingsheng officially joined the same rank as Boss Zhao and Boss Ye.

"No problem, no problem, I have a pill in my mouth!"

Boss Zhao opened his mouth for Li Jingsheng to see.

There was a small yellow pill under his tongue.

Li Jingsheng almost burst out laughing; Old Zhao is talented. He was worried about an attack when visiting Sunshine Clinic and held quick-acting heart-relief pills in his mouth.

Just a preventive measure.

"Haha, Old Zhao, do you really need to do this?"

Li Jingsheng asked with a smile.

"It’s just preventive, you know? Your clinic was reported again today; the business is booming, and I have a weak endurance. If I collapse again, it’d be too costly."

Boss Zhao was speaking quite a lot now.

Having collapsed twice consecutively, allowing Sunshine Clinic to expand and strengthen was a pain Boss Zhao could never erase.

Now he could only watch Sunshine Clinic grow stronger.

He couldn’t dare collapse again.

"What’s the urgent matter, hurry and tell me, there are patients waiting for consultation behind."

Li Jingsheng urged.

No need to prod, as Boss Zhao felt more urgent than him.

"A few days ago, a man drank wine, had stomach pain, came to your clinic, then left right away. Do you remember?"

"I recall. That man surely didn’t have a minor illness, what’s going on?"

Li Jingsheng initially wanted to check the man’s abdomen, but he left in a huff.

A pity for having such a caring and beautiful girlfriend.

"That guy went to the health station for treatment."

Boss Zhao turned to look at the surrounding patients and their families.

"Can we step aside for a private conversation?"

He realized discussing in front of so many people could spread the news.

"Sorry, everyone, this is Dr. Zhao. There’s an emergency patient needing to consult me for some information, it’ll only take a few minutes, and I’ll be back shortly."

Li Jingsheng rarely saw Boss Zhao so urgent.

Presumably, the man’s condition worsened, and he might be in distress.

Li Jingsheng and Boss Zhao walked outside the clinic.

Boss Zhao pulled him to the stationery shop where there were no people before he continued, "That young man went to the health station, and Dr. Zha treated him for acute gastric mucosal lesion. He prescribed pantoprazole, anisodamine, and other medications. Now the young man’s condition has worsened, and Dr. Zha is worried something will happen, anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof. You know, in fact, this doesn’t concern me. I’m just being nice, thinking if I do him a favor, in the future, he might advise my Quick Recovery Clinic when needed. Plus, I’ll gift this order to Dr. Zha, killing two birds with one stone."

Boss Zhao had inadvertently caused problems.

He didn’t expect Dr. Zha to mess up this case.

"Then why come to me! The health station has a crisis response mechanism; just transfer him to a higher-tier hospital!"

Li Jingsheng didn’t want to get involved.

When diagnosing that young man, he already realized it wasn’t a minor illness.

Acute gastric mucosal lesion was possible but very unlikely.
