The clinic owner almost wanted to die.
Quickly dialing the emergency number, while checking the patient.
Later, after resuscitation, the patient was saved, but became paraplegic. The family believed it happened when the clinic owner applied a plaster, and sued the clinic owner with a lawsuit.
Finally, after mediation, the clinic owner paid six hundred thousand.
So you see, if you want to make money being a doctor, no matter how careful you are, it’s hard to avoid accidents entirely.
Surgical operations are notoriously high-risk.
Li Jingsheng now has these ’tools’, which won’t guarantee accidents won’t happen, but it can at least avoid most risks.
Now, he has an electric knife, shadowless lamp, and an air conditioner with purification, constant temperature, and humidity features.
It even includes various operational hand instruments like scissors, mouth openers, retractors, hemostatic clamps... all bought wholesale. Although they are second-hand, this type of surgical equipment is mostly imported from abroad.
The quality is much better than what Li Jingsheng used before.
And more complete.
They even found a pair of glasses magnifier and headlamp that some doctor left behind, a whole set of equipment.
Li Jingsheng tried them and found the glasses’ prescription a bit high, he couldn’t use them.
Luckily, his eyesight is quite decent, he doesn’t need prescription glasses.
So he personally removed the lenses, turning it into a lens-less magnifying glass.
Wearing it for a try, the magnification ability is fantastic.
In combination with the headlamp, it can easily illuminate deeper areas like the abdominal cavity or oral cavity to observe the condition of lesions.
After checking the operating room, he now looks forward to performing surgeries there.
On to the medical tech room, the vintage X-ray machine has already been cheaply listed online for sale.
Hoping it can fetch a decent price, maybe eight or ten thousand.
He likes the new X-ray machine very much.
There’s no more worry about unclear X-ray images.
...
After purchasing the equipment, the X-ray machine was put to use the next day.
He examined a total of six patients, and it was especially handy.
The accuracy is incomparable to the old vintage machine.
The old machine was used once and he cursed at it once, now each use brings enjoyment.
The images produced are no different from those in major hospitals.
The only regret is that none of the patients he saw had surgical needs.
There was one patient with abdominal pain, diagnosed by Li Jingsheng as having appendicitis.
He couldn’t perform the surgery for this condition.
So, he referred the patient elsewhere.
Days passed by, Sunshine Clinic is slowly becoming increasingly robust.
Li Jingsheng is consciously participating more in surgeries at the Second Hospital to quickly enhance his surgical skills.
In a blink, three days had gone by.
Li Jingsheng was sitting in the clinic when an elderly man walked in.
"May I help you with anything?"
Meng Luo warmly stepped forward to inquire.
"I’m looking for your Dr. Li."
The man walked straight to the reception desk.
Li Jingsheng turned to look upon hearing this.
"Oh, Dr. Shao is here! Please sit and wait for a moment."
This is a major player.
Li Jingsheng spent considerable effort to bring him over.
"No problem."
Dr. Shao still looked a bit washed out.
But overall, his mental state had improved significantly.
Li Jingsheng attended to the patient at hand, then said to Han Siying, "Siying, could you please measure this patient’s vital signs for me? I’ll be right back."
"Alright!"
Han Siying seldom saw her mentor being so warm and attentive to anyone.
She quietly observed Shao Bing.
Dr. Wang looked at Shao Bing with some envy.
During Wang Zongxiao’s arrival at Sunshine Clinic, Li Jingsheng hadn’t been this enthusiastic.
"Dr. Shao, let’s chat in the office!"
Li Jingsheng guided Shao Bing to the nearby office and personally served Dr. Shao a glass of water.
"How’s it going? Has your clinic issue been resolved?"
"Yes, everything is settled."
"Can you start working here today?"
Li Jingsheng spoke without a single redundant word.
Different from hiring other doctors, Li Jingsheng even skipped the interview step.
"I’ll first try out here for a few days. If you’re satisfied, then employ me."
Dr. Shao seemed somewhat uncertain.
Seeing so many patients seeking consultation at Sunshine Clinic, lining up in a long queue, he realized just how popular the legendary Sunshine Clinic was.
"Others might need a trial period, but you don’t. I’ll get you some work clothes, put them on and start seeing patients directly. After all, you also run clinics, so you’re familiar with these operations. Our clinic currently supports regular outpatient surgery, and can perform B ultrasound and X-ray scans. Each type of checkup costs one hundred per session."
Li Jingsheng briefly explained the clinic’s capabilities.
Then he promptly picked up a white coat for Dr. Shao to wear, leading him to start working in the reception hall.
"Dr. Shao, you shall have this spot for your consultations in the future."
"This..."
Dr. Shao dared not take Li Jingsheng’s seat.
"Stop with the hesitations, sit down and quickly diagnose this patient!" Li Jingsheng urged as he pressed him into the seat.
The patient was quite elderly, at least sixty years old.
The graying brows were fairly long.
Some say long eyebrows indicate a long life. This isn’t directly supported by scientific evidence, but in reality, men with long eyebrows do tend to have longer lifespans.
The patient was clutching his stomach with a somewhat painful expression.
There appeared to be symptoms of abdominal pain.
"Dr. Li, we’ve come here to see you particularly because of your renowned medical skill and good ethics. You cannot just pass me over to another doctor! I suspect my condition is quite serious, not manageable by an average doctor."
The patient appeared slightly discontent.
After waiting in line for so long, it was finally his turn, yet he was being handed off to a new doctor.
Though this new doctor seemed much older than Li Jingsheng, he was more inclined to trust Li Jingsheng.
Because Li Jingsheng’s medical skills had been validated by many patients.
If not for his formidable skills, he couldn’t have gained such a reputation.
"Uncle, you can rest assured. This Dr. Shao is a renowned physician from a major hospital, his expertise far surpasses mine. If you still feel uneasy, I’ll stand right beside him to assist and observe while he diagnoses and prescribes. If any issues arise, I’ll promptly speak up."
To help Dr. Shao make a name, Li Jingsheng even lowered his own status to act as Dr. Shao’s assistant.
"Alright, alright, with you saying this, I have no more doubts."
The patient nodded in agreement repeatedly.
Dr. Wang had been secretly sizing up this Dr. Shao.
From the moment Li Jingsheng stood up to greet him, he had a bad premonition.
This Dr. Shao is indeed applying to work at the clinic.
And judging by the situation, Li Jingsheng treats Dr. Shao like an honored guest, indicating his high regard. This made Dr. Wang somewhat uneasy.
Not worrying about anything else, just fearing being laid off by Li Jingsheng.
After all, not long ago, he had been required to write a self-critique.
Although that time he stood for the clinic’s interests, Li Jingsheng emphasized ethics first. He does not allow patient interests to be sacrificed for the clinic’s benefit.
After realizing his mistake, Dr. Wang had been diligently trying to correct his ways.
"Temperature is 38.1 degrees, heart rate far above normal, reaching 137, and yet the blood pressure is dropping..."
Dr. Shao frowned as he examined the vital signs measured by Han Siying for the patient.
"How long has your stomach been hurting?"
"Nearly two days."
"Did it start as slight pain, gradually worsening?"
"You’re exactly right!"
The patient’s expression towards Dr. Shao Bing suddenly changed.
"Tell me more about your main symptoms!"
Dr. Shao appeared calm and composed, and from his expression, seemed to have reached some conclusions.
"Just feeling a bit nauseous and burping; my abdomen feels extremely bloated and painful here..."
The patient described his condition.
"I’ll press on your stomach, please lie down on the bed in the back."
Dr. Shao performed an immediate pressure pain assessment on the patient to determine the type and location of pain, checking for any abdominal mass or muscle rigidity.
Generally, for patients with abdominal pain, these assessments are essential.
