Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 556: Chapter 254: Three Consultation Spaces Now, Unusual Bleeding (3)

The business is struggling.

And the person at the store is a middle-aged woman, close to forty.

Outsiders think she’s the owner, Li Jingsheng thought so too.

Until Ou Qinglan told him that the middle-aged woman at the store was hired by her father for three thousand yuan a month to watch the store.

At first, Li Jingsheng found it puzzling.

The rent alone costs at least eight thousand.

With just a few dried goods like raisins and walnuts on display and hiring someone for three thousand to watch the store, it’s unlikely they’d even make back the capital.

Later, after thinking it over, he realized how clever Ou Qinglan’s father was.

Because when the clinic was opened there, someone had recently died, so it couldn’t be rented out at all.

Now they simply renovated it and sold some dried goods, not to make money, but to gradually dilute the impact of the death.

Buying the storefront saved them hundreds of thousands, even losing a few months isn’t a big loss.

By the time they rent it out normally, all the money will be recouped.

It just shows, Ou Qinglan’s father’s vision and scale are not something Li Jingsheng can compare to at the moment.

By the time Li Jingsheng is worth tens of millions, he might reach this level.

After all, risking 1.3 or 1.4 million takes courage unless one has some money as backup.

"You’re so busy you can’t even take a moment to eat. If you don’t stop, the food will get cold!"

Ou Qinglan handed the food to Li Jingsheng.

No need to pick a place, they just started eating right at the rest area outside the clinic.

"Can I come to your clinic tonight for practice in suturing?"

"Might as well teach you to kiss. You haven’t even practiced suturing and knotting well, and you’re thinking about suturing—what’s going on?"

Li Jingsheng said teasingly while eating the meal she specifically brought for him.

"I’ve noticed you’ve become more and more cheeky, can’t you be a bit serious?" Her pretty face blushed slightly. "Then I’ll go to your clinic to practice suturing. I feel I’ve mastered single and continuous sutures! Even Professor Wu praised my improved suturing skills. Isn’t mastering continuous sutures the next step to learning suturing?"

She raised her fist, pretending to punch him.

But Li Jingsheng wasn’t scared at all.

Their relationship had heated up quickly, many intimate acts had already happened, just short of having a baby.

Even that would probably have to wait until they’re married.

"Just because Professor Wu praised you doesn’t mean your suturing skills are outstanding! I think you should still practice a bit more before learning suturing."

Li Jingsheng almost said outright that Professor Wu himself is just so-so in skill.

If he praises your suturing, how good could it be?

Probably just a bit better than the average resident.

Of course, some things shouldn’t be said carelessly.

Otherwise, if they reach Professor Wu’s ears, he’d likely be furious out of embarrassment.

As they chatted, Director Hua walked over with a black bag in hand.

Seeing him changed out of his work clothes, he’s likely about to clock off.

After working hours, many directors have rich nightlife activities.

Pharmaceutical reps or individuals and companies with vested interests often invite them out for meals, relaxation, and entertainment.

"Oh, solving your dinner right here, Dr. Li?"

"Haha, Dr. Ou specifically bought this for me from the cafeteria. I feel really fortunate."

Li Jingsheng laughed as he replied.

"Young man knows how to be content!" Director Hua nodded, looking at the beautiful Ou Qinglan. "Dr. Ou, I must commend you. Dr. Li is one of our Orthopedic department’s most excellent young doctors. He’s very important to our department, our hospital, and the patients. As long as you take good care of him, it’s a contribution to the hospital and the people. Keep it up!"

"No problem, Rest assured, Director!"

After saying that, she herself laughed.

"Jingsheng, the hospital is sending a medical team to participate in the city skills competition the day after tomorrow, prepare yourself well. It might last about three days, doctors from other provinces will also be coming. You just need to pack your clothes and personal items. Hotel accommodations with meals included will be arranged."

Director Hua specifically came to find him, originally planning to discuss the details.

Seeing Li Jingsheng eating and together with his girlfriend, he kept it brief.

He explained simply and left with his bag.

Li Jingsheng didn’t feel any pressure about the competition.

In terms of Bone Setting, his skills are already on par with Doctor Xu and rapidly improving. In the competition, it’s unlikely he’ll find a worthy opponent.

"Really envy you for representing the hospital, I hope to earn that opportunity someday too!"

Ou Qinglan said beside him.

"You’ve just finished your residency, it’s still early days for you. Practice diligently in my clinic, opportunities will come for sure. Isn’t this skills competition held every three years?"

Li Jingsheng is confident he can train her well.

Surgical skills aren’t much, mainly about practicing diligently.

After finishing the meal, returning to the clinic, Li Jingsheng got busy. He verified accounts, restocked inventory, checked daily consultation records, and investigated potential risks.

Meanwhile, Ou Qinglan practiced suturing in the resting area.

Every time she messed up a stitch, you’d hear her grumbling, "Oh, I’m so dumb!"

Sometimes, Li Jingsheng found her quite adorable.

After he wrapped up everything, he began instructing her on knot tying hand in hand.

The basic technique and key tips had already been taught, now she needed to practice on her own.

Just enjoying the process of interacting closely with her.

Of course, teaching hands-on is definitely more effective than her figuring it out alone.

As they were practicing, Li Jingsheng’s phone rang.

A strange number.

"Is this Sunshine Clinic?"

A young woman’s anxious voice came from the other end.

"Yes, I’m Li Jingsheng from Sunshine Clinic. How can I help you?"

"My son injured his nose while playing with his cousin today, and it wouldn’t stop bleeding. After your clinic treated him, the bleeding stopped, but he sneezed while eating and started bleeding again. Are you at the clinic now?"

The woman on the phone sounded tearful.

You know, women often feel particularly anxious in such situations.

"I am at the clinic!"

"Could you please open the door for us? We’re just outside."

The woman pleaded.
