Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Who Do You Think You’re Looking Down On?

Even from dozens of meters away, Li Jingsheng could clearly see the triumphant smile on Boss Zhao’s greasy face.

Even the ambulance had arrived, so he naturally assumed that Li Jingsheng had fallen into a trap and had killed that old lady.

This area had a population of only so many, 100 people, and each month three people fell sick, a rather high ratio. Even if two out of ten patients chose to visit a clinic, the overall number of patients would not be that large.

The pie was only so big.

Even if Li Jingsheng’s clinic business was bleak, picking at cake crumbs, Boss Zhao still found it an eyesore and wanted to eliminate it as soon as possible.

This is the most real side of human nature.

A mosquito flies around us, and even if it doesn’t bite anyone, it will still be mercilessly swatted dead.

Like in "Three-Body," the discovery leads to destruction, regardless of whether there is a threat or not. If an alien civilization considers Earth humans a potential threat, they would annihilate humanity to play it safe.

No reason is needed to kill; as long as the strong think it’s in their interests.

The business at Boss Zhao’s clinic was booming, sometimes overflowing with patients. Yet he was unwilling to see a second clinic survive on this street.

Jinkui Clinic had strong backing, so he dared not touch it.

Li Jingsheng’s Sunshine Clinic posed no deterrent to him, so he spared no effort in employing tricks and sly tactics.

Now that Li Jingsheng had allegedly killed someone, Sunshine Clinic would soon be out of business, ridding Boss Zhao of yet another potential risk, much to his delight.

But he had rejoiced a bit too early.

Though young, Li Jingsheng had been fooled numerous times over the past nine months, making him highly vigilant and cautious at all times.

Boss Zhao’s sly trick had been successfully discerned by him.

Once the patient was carried onto the ambulance, the doctor and nurse on board quickly implemented life support and a series of temporary rescue measures.

"What are you standing there for? Get on the car quickly!"

The ambulance doctor called out to Li Jingsheng.

"Am I... supposed to go too?"

"Of course!"

"Alright then, let me lock up."

Having no other choice, Li Jingsheng quickly ran back to the clinic to gather today’s earnings, locked up, and then got onto the ambulance.

Once aboard, the doctor and nurse ignored him, focusing solely on the patient and the monitoring equipment.

Li Jingsheng internally calculated, uncertain if he’d have enough to cover the medical expenses later.

The total revenue at the clinic that day was only 1,275 yuan, including a 100 yuan deposit and some prepayments.

A heart attack certainly required hospitalization.

Based on his previous hospital work experience, a minimum deposit of 2,000 yuan was necessary for hospitalization.

This life was truly difficult!

With medical skills advancing rapidly, Li Jingsheng pondered how to forge a path of survival amidst the siege of Quick Recovery Clinic, Jinkui Clinic, the City South Community Health Service Center, and numerous pharmacies.

The best wine fears no alley.

Moreover, his medical skills were far from being deemed excellent.

Plus, the time left for him was running short.

With clinic rent due in just over two months, if he couldn’t pass this hurdle, that plump landlady would certainly toss all his belongings onto the street.

What a worry!

He was worried without having a golden finger, and now, even with one, he was still worried.

The main issue was the incredibly short time for development.

"Have you contacted the patient’s family?"

The female nurse’s cold voice snapped Li Jingsheng out of his chaotic thoughts.

Seeing this young clinic owner filled with worry, she assumed Li Jingsheng was concerned about what to do with the old lady.

"No."
