Basically equals working three days a week, and about eight hours each day.
The clinic usually starts officially at eight or eight-thirty, and finishes around five or five-thirty.
For doctors and nurses, the word ’overtime’ is extremely unpleasant.
In reality, the majority of doctors and nurses are in a state of overtime.
Even the director wouldn’t dare to propose such conditions to the hospital.
Li Jingsheng dares.
This confidence stems from two aspects. One, Doctor Xu told him that truly skilled bone-setting doctors are exceedingly rare. Although right now he’s only mastered part of the advanced bone-setting techniques, and his proficiency is just average, he’s already considered a rare talent.
Second, he owns a profitable clinic.
This is extremely important.
The difference between having and not having is significant.
His clinic currently earns over ten thousand a day, so even without working at the Second Hospital, he can live very well. Moreover, he can continuously upgrade various medical skills via the attribute panel, and even if he doesn’t leverage the big platform of the Second Hospital for development, he still has the opportunity to receive invitations from other major institutions in the future.
During negotiations, strength and confidence are present, so the outcome is basically decided.
Director Hua didn’t immediately agree.
Instead, he slightly squinted his eyes, looking at Li Jingsheng indifferently.
Facing Director Hua’s scrutinizing gaze, Li Jingsheng appeared very confident.
"This additional condition is slightly out of scope, but I can try to negotiate with the hospital."
Eventually, Director Hua made concessions.
No choice, bone-setting talent is too hard to find.
Plus, with Doctor Xu’s cooperation, dragging his illness and not coming to work, Director Hua was anxious.
As long as Li Jingsheng doesn’t make excessive demands, as the department director, he can certainly accommodate.
Having two bone-setting talents under him offers extra assurance.
Paying a small price to achieve this goal is completely worthwhile.
"The final additional condition is that if I am unhappy or for other reasons wish to resign, the hospital cannot stop me."
Don’t underestimate this requirement.
Resigning for doctors and nurses is far from simple.
Multiple department approvals are needed, and any unassuming place like the security office can make you run around endlessly.
At that time, when Li Jingsheng resigned from the First Hospital, the statistics center library withheld their approval, causing him several trips. Later, the asset management office did the same, and he was utterly frustrated.
Luckily, he was among the least prominent doctors in the hospital, bought the ’big sister’ in charge a cup of milk tea, complimented her profusely, paid a fine of 270 yuan, and settled the matter.
Of course, thinking from another angle, if he were a highly ranked doctor with strong connections, perhaps nobody would dare to inconvenience him over trivial matters.
It’s not exactly difficult.
Li Jingsheng stood up and bid farewell.
Stepping out of Director Hua’s office, somewhat unfortunate timing.
A group of people approached through the corridor. Leading the group was a middle-aged man with side-parted hair, average height, slightly lean, and wearing rimless glasses. He was in a white coat, walking with ease and confidence, exuding the authority of a commander.
To his left was an accompanying doctor in his forties, while to his right was a fairly young female nurse.
Behind them followed five or six in white coats.
This was quite a spectacle.
However, in larger hospitals, such scenes are common. Especially during director rounds, two or three dozen medical staff often participate.
Many interns, due to overcrowding and small wards, can only stand at the door listening to the director analyze the condition from afar.
The leading male doctor was none other than Professor Wu, who had summoned Ou Qinglan that night to a drinking session, getting her intoxicated.
The moment he saw Li Jingsheng, he hesitated.
This world is indeed very small.
There are unexpected encounters everywhere.
Didn’t expect to run into each other here.
Despite Professor Wu’s seemingly high status in orthopedics, Li Jingsheng had no intention to ingratiate himself.
