Chapter 401: Chapter 200: This Waiter Is Not Simple, Dr. Wang Bows to Reality (Part 3)

At this moment, coming for an interview again felt somewhat embarrassing.

So, he asked Xiaogao to put in a good word for him.

People like this often don’t do well in the workplace.

Thin-skinned, but extremely proud and arrogant at heart.

In the past, Li Jingsheng used to be like this, but after taking hits from society, he gradually changed and evolved. This is how he found his current success, thriving like a fish in water.

Sometimes, face value is really worthless.

Apart from money being real, everything else is an illusion.

For adults, the most important thing is earning money. Especially for men.

"So, are you still planning to work at our clinic?"

Li Jingsheng looked at the man.

He figured if he didn’t speak, the man would definitely be too embarrassed to approach.

"If possible, I’d like to give it a try."

The man must have been job hunting again these past few days.

And encountered quite a few setbacks.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be using this low-key, compromising tone.

Last time he came, he was so arrogant.

He said straight out that he was an attending physician at a major hospital and that working at a small clinic was beneath him and lowered his value. He even complained that the four thousand base salary offered by Li Jingsheng was too little.

Many clinics don’t even offer a base salary of four thousand.

Money doesn’t grow on trees.

If someone truly has ability, the boss will naturally raise their salary.

"You’re a doctor in Pulmonary Medicine, right?"

"Yes!"

The man nodded.

"Great, why don’t you diagnose this patient!" Li Jingsheng still had over a dozen patients lining up to be seen, business was booming.

This scene made the ’attending physician’ from the major hospital feel a bit inferior.

Last time he came, there weren’t many patients at the clinic.

But now there are so many patients, even a fool would know that this clinic is remarkable, possessing unique medical skills.

The man examined the woman in her forties.

The woman looked slightly alarmed.

"Dr. Li, I specifically came because of your reputation, you can’t just have any doctor see me! I’d still prefer to have you personally see me, only then can I feel assured!"

After the woman spoke, she covered her mouth with a dry cough.

"Don’t worry, ma’am. This doctor is from Jiangli University Affiliated Hospital; he wants to work at our clinic, and I just want to see his medical skills. Rest assured, I will oversee the final diagnosis and treatment."

Li Jingsheng quickly reassured the woman.

For patients, their biggest fear is being used as a guinea pig by an intern or an unknown doctor.

If the diagnosis is wrong or the wrong medicine is prescribed, it would be disastrous.

After explaining to the patient, he handed a new mask to Wang Zongxiao, signaling him to put it on.

Although it was just a small detail, it made Wang Zongxiao look at him with gratitude.

"Hello, my name is Wang Zongxiao, a student of Professor Pang Qing. I worked in the Pulmonary Medicine department of Jiangli University Affiliated Hospital for many years and have rich experience in diagnosis and treatment, so you don’t need to worry."

The man introduced himself to the patient.

His communication with the patient was quite good.

Mentioning his mentor, Professor Pang Qing, at this moment was a smart move.

The reputation of Jiangli University Affiliated Hospital in this city is decent, but it falls far behind the People’s Hospital and Qiaobang Hospital.

In terms of medical level, comprehensive diagnosis ability, and reputation, it cannot be compared to these two major tertiary hospitals.

Its level and status are about the same as the First Hospital, maybe slightly better.

Because this hospital has its own medical school, producing a large number of medical students each year, and it has made certain achievements in scientific research and academia. So its potential is quite significant.

In contrast, the First Hospital, due to its outdated internal management and severe issue of senior personnel occupying positions, lacks necessary competition mechanism, and is declining rapidly.

Almost all hospitals with the prefix ’First’ are facing such a fate now.

The Second Hospital is currently making efforts to save itself, but it’s still evident that its management is lagging behind.

And it’s suffering from a talent drain.

Any hospital looking to develop cannot do so without talent.

If it cannot find ways to remedy its talent drain, it will surely face great difficulties. Eventually, it will crumble like a decaying building in fierce market competition.

"What discomfort are you experiencing now?"

After finishing his self-introduction, Wang Zongxiao found that the patient was still not convinced, so he proactively inquired about the patient’s symptoms.

"Coughing, fever!"

The woman replied coldly.

These are the most common symptoms of a cold.

"From listening to your cough earlier, it sounds like a dry cough. Let me take your temperature."

Wang Zongxiao also knew this was a special interview conducted by Li Jingsheng. If he messed up, he definitely wouldn’t be hired.

"37.5 degrees, slight fever."

After taking the ear temperature, Wang Zongxiao looked at Li Jingsheng.

"Boss, can I borrow a stethoscope?"

"No problem!"

Li Jingsheng handed it to him. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Wang Zongxiao took the stethoscope probe and was about to place it on the woman patient’s chest, which frightened Li Jingsheng into quickly taking the probe back.

Does he think this is a major hospital?

Dude, this is a small clinic!

After taking the probe, Li Jingsheng gave it to the woman patient.

"Ma’am, please place it inside your clothing, pressing it against this spot."

At first, Wang Zongxiao didn’t understand why Li Jingsheng suddenly took back the probe, but now he understood.

In major hospitals, when encountering older patients like this, doctors might genuinely not have so many concerns, listening to heart and lung sounds usually directly.

In ultrasound or ECG rooms, it’s common for female patients to find male doctors performing their checks.

Asking female patients to undress is quite a normal procedure.

Patients shouldn’t hide symptoms from doctors.

Wang Zongxiao guided the patient in moving the stethoscope probe.

After listening for a while, he seemed to have some diagnosis.

"Have you had a lot of phlegm these past two days?"

"Not much!"

The woman answered.

"Is the coughing quite severe recently?"

The patient was just about to answer but covered her mouth with her hand and coughed.

After she finished coughing, Wang Zongxiao continued asking, "Is there any chest pain?"

"It hurts! It’s all from the coughing."

The woman said.

"Have you experienced body aches?"

"I think so. Especially when I woke up this morning, it felt like my whole body was about to fall apart."

"Sore throat?"

"Yes!"

Now, the woman seemed to see that this male doctor was quite competent, as the symptoms he was asking about matched hers.

She started to develop a bit more trust in Wang Zongxiao, and when she responded, her tone had changed.

There was now a hint of necessary respect.

"Boss, I’m done. She likely has a lung infection. If we could get an X-ray or do a sputum culture, that would be even better."

This guy isn’t stupid, he’s quite smart.

To call him smart, his mindset simply hasn’t switched over.

This is a clinic, yet considering a sputum culture, where would one find such a facility?

Li Jingsheng didn’t criticize him, he just nodded.

Overall, he was quite satisfied with Wang Zongxiao’s performance.

This person has genuine skills; he’s just a bit of a blockhead and needs more guidance.
