"It’s been two weeks, right? At the time I was staying at school, and felt a bit feverish. I thought it was a cold, so I didn’t pay much attention."
She’s been burning up like this, and it’s been two weeks.
She must be feeling extremely fatigued.
Because fever excessively consumes the energy stored in cells.
Li Jingsheng heard this and knew he didn’t need to continue examining.
This illness is definitely not something his small clinic can handle.
"This definitely isn’t just a simple mouth ulcer. You should quickly take her to a large hospital for further examination. The child has been sick for almost two months, it would be terrible to delay the illness! Sigh, I look at this young girl and feel so anxious for her."
Li Jingsheng, though not yet married, has no children.
But he knows deeply how difficult it is to raise a child.
From the moment people start preparing to conceive, parents begin to have expectations and carefully nurture.
Then, when the baby arrives in this new world, feeding, changing diapers, even washing the baby if they soil themselves... then teaching them to turn over, crawl, stand, and walk.
Every step of the child’s growth is filled with the parents’ love.
This young girl is sixteen or seventeen years old; in another year or two she will be an adult. And she’s so outstanding, her academic performance is so good.
Her parents must be proud of her.
Their expectations must be high.
Now, if she has a serious illness, one that may even be incurable, for the family, it would be a bolt from the blue, a top-level disaster.
"Dr. Li, your medical skills are so brilliant. Can’t my niece’s illness be treated here?"
The aunt asked Li Jingsheng.
"Quickly take the child to a large hospital! I can’t treat it, and don’t dare to try, afraid of harming this young girl. You must take her to a large hospital for examination, and it’s best to have a pathological biopsy, just in case it’s a tumor or something."
Li Jingsheng gently advised the girl’s aunt.
"Tumor? It’s not that serious, right? I’ll take her to the People’s Hospital immediately."
The aunt heard the word tumor, being from the city, immediately understood it might be cancer.
Seeing Dr. Li’s serious and concerned expression, this tumor is probably not a good thing.
She took the young girl to the door and then came back.
"Dr. Li, which hospital do you think is better for this illness? I trust you particularly, and ask you to recommend a hospital that’s skilled in treating this kind of illness."
"The People’s Hospital is fine!"
Li Jingsheng thought the People’s Hospital could completely handle diagnosing the nature of this lesion.
Watching the aunt leave with the young girl, Li Jingsheng sighed slightly.
He most fears encountering this kind of patient.
It’s not about fearing trouble, but it’s heart-wrenching to see the cruelest moment.
When a doctor diagnoses that a patient has a bad illness, it’s basically like sentencing that patient to death.
Just watching helplessly, yet powerless.
The mood is imaginable.
He then continued to diagnose other patients.
The later patients, seeing this situation, instead trusted Li Jingsheng even more.
...
Kept busy until past five in the afternoon, Li Jingsheng finally finished dealing with all the patients.
"Dr. Wang, cover for me here for a while, I have something to do. If you encounter a case you can’t be sure about, call me, I’ll come right away."
Li Jingsheng stood up, took off his work clothes, and walked outside.
The small courtyard was successfully rented yesterday, and at noon he called a guerilla team to clean it up.
Except for some trash and unwanted mats, clothes, and tables, there was nothing else on the second floor.
