On the first day of medical internships, the teaching instructors or the supervising leaders will always, overtly or covertly, remind everyone to learn to protect themselves.
The medical environment is quite harsh, and many young medical staff, due to kindness, have done good deeds, only to end up being stabbed in the back frequently.
Most doctors who have worked for a while seem to have hearts like stone, cold and unfeeling.
Actually, they have simply matured.
The goodness inside most doctors is always there, retaining the benevolent heart that a healer should have.
Indifference is because they’ve been beaten, learning how to protect themselves.
As for the second ability of doctors—deception, this is also an essential survival skill.
Li Jingsheng is considered fundamentally upright in character, but he never holds back when it’s time to mislead patients and their families.
Boss Zhao, with his ruthless and cunning old tricks, goes without saying.
So many patients line up to give him money, yet they have to feel grateful and praise his medical skills all around. His deception skills have long reached perfection.
At this moment, this fancy-looking man has already been initially brainwashed by him.
"My body is quite alright, shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Though the fancy-looking man has been brainwashed, he still retains the necessary vigilance. Regarding Boss Zhao’s words, he is apparently skeptical.
At this age, it’s hard to get deceived again.
"Based on my over forty years of medical experience, let me say something straightforward, Boss Chen, don’t take offense!"
Boss Zhao had a hesitant expression.
In terms of acting, many movie kings might not be able to compare with Boss Zhao.
Boss Zhao can achieve a level where it’s difficult to distinguish between real and fake in terms of tone, eye contact, facial expressions, and body movements.
When Li Jingsheng first opened the clinic here, he was firmly manipulated by Boss Zhao.
The losses taken and the deceptions endured were countless.
Now it’s the fancy man’s turn to get ’beaten up’.
"No worries, Boss Zhao, feel free to speak!"
"Many diseases, especially kidney diseases, are often discovered when it’s already at an incurable stage. Dr. Li, isn’t that the case?"
Boss Zhao dragged Li Jingsheng into endorsing his words.
In this situation, Li Jingsheng truly found it difficult to avoid.
"Well, how should I say this! Kidney disease is divided into three stages. Many people think that only the end-stage of kidney disease is uremia; actually, it starts from the first stage, the kidney function reserve compensation period. At this time, the patient usually shows no obvious symptoms. Hospital tests only show that the kidney function isn’t great, but the kidney’s compensatory ability can maintain a basic balance of fluids and electrolytes.
At this time, people look fine. If untreated in time, it quickly progresses to the second stage, the uremia decompensation period. By the second stage, various symptoms start to appear, and the person is basically ruined; lifelong medication can’t suppress disease progression, at best, it can only slow it down."
Li Jingsheng, for once, cooperated with Boss Zhao.
He enlightened this ’Boss Chen’ with some medical knowledge about kidney disease.
