Chapter 281: Chapter 160: The Desire to Live Can’t Be Judged by Appearances (Part 3)

Li Jingsheng naturally wouldn’t expose it, but smiled and said, "The bone setting technique, external fixation, with Bone Healing Ointment and calcium tablets will cost around 700 yuan."

External fixation will definitely require a splint.

The cost price is close to 80 yuan. The retail price of calcium tablets is 30 yuan per bottle, two bottles cost 60 yuan. And he is out of Bone Healing Ointment here.

He’s planning to collaborate with Jinkui Clinic.

After all, everyone knows each other now, learn from Boss Zhao’s methods, add some interest binding, and everyone’s relationship will be more harmonious.

"Treat it, 700 yuan isn’t expensive."

A few hundred yuan is indeed very cheap.

Back in the 50s and 60s, healthcare was very cheap in our country.

Nowadays, many hospitals and doctors have become commercialized, along with various reasons, making it difficult for everyone to afford healthcare.

"You can just scan the code to pay there."

Li Jingsheng definitely needs to collect the money first.

The three siblings fought over it, and eventually, the elder brother paid.

"Dr. Gao, please head over to Jinkui Clinic and get some Bone Healing Ointment from Boss Ye. Be sure to pick the best."

Actually, there’s only one kind of Bone Healing Ointment, no good or bad.

But saying this in front of the patients and family is necessary.

"Okay!"

Xiaogao hurried out of the clinic to get the medicine from Jinkui Clinic.

Li Jingsheng then started to feel the elderly man’s bone.

After feeling the bone, he discovered that the patient’s bones showed some signs of osteoporosis, but nothing else problematic.

Bone setting was quite challenging, but he managed to get it done.

First, he used the rotating extension method to adjust the position of the fibula, aligning it and pressing both ends with the shaking touch. It ultimately succeeded in repositioning the fracture.

Mostly, it was the repositioning of the fibula.

The tibia itself is quite robust, and the fracture wasn’t severe, so the swinging touch managed to realign it well.

Overall, this repositioning was easier than expected.

This few hundred yuan was earned fairly easily.

Checked and confirmed, he applied the Bone Healing Ointment Xiaogao brought back and then used a splint to fix the broken limb.

After settling everything, observed that the blood circulation in the lower limb was flowing smoothly, considered done perfectly.

Prescribed two bottles of calcium tablets, instructed the family to take them home and give them to the patient as prescribed.

The elderly man’s nutritional status was not ideal, indicating he hadn’t been eating well usually. Though the three children seemed concerned about the elder, from beginning to end, no one asked if he was in pain or how he felt?

The doctor said it was okay, and they carried him back.

Just as the three of them stepped out, faint sounds of an argument could be heard.

Who would take care of the elderly became the focus of their argument.

In the clinic earlier, the three didn’t discuss this matter.

Li Jingsheng didn’t interfere with others’ family matters, since the patient was cured, what remains is beyond a doctor’s ability.

"Lunch boxes are here, everyone come over to eat!"

He called the three staff to have the meal.

"That elderly man’s children are all grown up, still quite filial!"

Han Siying praised the elderly man’s children.

Tang Ping responded with a smile and a shake of the head without speaking.

Xiaogao focused solely on eating.

"Boss, was I wrong?"

Han Siying wanted an answer from Li Jingsheng.

"Siying has just come out from school, although you have a year’s internship experience in the hospital, your social experience is still limited. Did you observe the expressions of the three siblings when the elderly man cried out in pain during the bone setting?"

Li Jingsheng asked her.

"Honestly, no. I only saw them fighting over who would pay for the treatment, and then heard them say the elderly man was lucky to have a good doctor and didn’t have to suffer, etc. Doesn’t that show they are very filial to their father?"

Han Siying said, swallowing a big mouthful of rice then stuffing a piece of meat into her mouth.

She eats fast.

Only Tang Ping eats gracefully.

"Certain things can’t be judged on appearances, you know. When I was treating the elderly man, he cried out in pain and his youngest daughter was on her phone talking to someone. The eldest son was watching indifferently, while the middle son was on the phone with his wife reporting the situation. Not one of them truly cared about the elder’s feelings. Also, when the elder was carried in, he was conscious, able to speak. No one consulted him about the treatment plan.

Ultimately, when the three carried the elder out of the clinic, their argument was about who would care for the elder.

They were all trying to shirk responsibility, coming up with all sorts of excuses.

So, do you think these three children are truly filial or are they superficially so?"
