Ever since Li Jingsheng saved Xie Guiqiu’s mother,
The old lady now visits him regularly to check her blood pressure and have her health examined.
She trusts Li Jingsheng immensely.
Li Jingsheng is also very concerned about the old lady’s health.
After all, Xie Guiqiu has helped him a lot.
One must be grateful.
He quickly took out the medicine he had prepared from the drawer in the reception hall.
Xie Guiqiu followed him in.
He glanced around the reception hall, his eyes brightened a bit.
Although he didn’t say anything, his expression showed he was quite satisfied.
The bag of medicine that Li Jingsheng took out was prepared especially, and seeing it, Xie Guiqiu was secretly moved.
This young man is really considerate!
"Brother Qiu, this is medicine for lowering blood lipids. Take two tablets a day, one in the morning and one in the evening..."
Li Jingsheng picked only the best medicine.
"That’s very considerate! My mother only trusts you now. She always says great things about Dr. Li. She used to love eating fatty meat, and when I tried to advise her, she never listened. But you managed to persuade her. Now she not only avoids it herself but also advises me to eat less pork, especially fatty meat, every time I visit her."
Talking about these things, Xie Guiqiu couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.
"Well, every person’s situation is different. Eating a little pork is fine. After the conditioning, your mother’s health is improving. In another two or three months, she might slowly start eating pork again. I’ll explain it to her properly then."
Li Jingsheng chuckled heartily after hearing this.
Old people are like children.
As people age, their behavior and thoughts tend to become peculiar.
Xie Guiqiu’s mother is a very typical example, quirky and stubborn. She used to visit Quick Recovery Clinic often, and every time she saw Boss Zhao, she would scold him.
So much so that Boss Zhao would avoid her whenever he saw her.
It was only because of Xie Guiqiu’s forgiving nature, or maybe he didn’t have any concrete evidence, that he let Boss Zhao off easily that time.
Otherwise, just using Xie Guiqiu’s mother to try and take down Li Jingsheng’s clinic, treating a life so lightly, would be enough to shut down Boss Zhao’s clinic ten times over.
After sending off Xie Guiqiu, Li Jingsheng shut the door and hurried to get something to eat.
Luckily, the fried rice with eggs wasn’t sold out.
Otherwise, he’d have to go home and eat instant noodles.
Once the renovations upstairs are complete, he could consider setting up a kitchen.
It would be very convenient for heating food, or high-temperature sterilization, and so on.
Renting such a big courtyard now, with more rooms than he could use, he could choose any room he wanted to sleep in.
While eating fried rice with eggs, he replied to Ou Qinglan’s message.
She’s working the night shift tonight.
The orthopedics department has been quite successful with manual reduction clinics recently, gaining a lot of notoriety, and thus the outpatient and emergency visits for orthopedics have significantly increased.
The chief director personally came over to endorse Li Jingsheng, clearly having good reason.
It was precisely because of Li Jingsheng’s outstanding performance at the Second Hospital that he showed such value and potential, causing the chief director to take him seriously.
When it comes to winning people over, who can surpass these high-ranking leaders?
"Xiao Qinglan, are you busy? I was so busy during the day that I only just found some time now."
She had sent him over a dozen messages during the day, but unfortunately, Li Jingsheng really had no time.
"Picked up a patient coming in for a second time. When you come to work tomorrow, they might ask for your consultation again!"
She replied with a message.
And added a mischievous emoji at the end.
Being able to text this much means she probably isn’t very busy.
As long as there are no emergency situations with patients, night shifts generally aren’t that hectic.
The first patient was quite a big case.
Brought in by family members.
The lumbar disc had herniated due to injury, and the patient had lost the ability to move.
She could only lie in bed.
This woman was quite unlucky, working in a supermarket in charge of cleaning.
She was harshly hit from behind by a bear child pushing a cart filled with food, and she rolled down the escalator.
She immediately became unable to move.
After being sent to the hospital and undergoing emergency and examination, it was found that the other injuries weren’t severe. Mostly skin abrasions and bruises, with the most serious injury being the herniation of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th lumbar discs.
Essentially, the 4th had dislocated.
The bear child hadn’t come; a woman in her mid-thirties accompanied the patient and family, apologizing repeatedly.
Sometimes when children aren’t taught well, they cause trouble, and the parents have to take responsibility.
"Doctor, is it possible to do manual reduction? We went to Qiaobang Hospital for a checkup. Their treatment plan suggests hospitalization and surgery, costing sixty to seventy thousand, without a guarantee of recovery. There’s a possibility of lifelong paralysis."
When the child’s mother spoke, she was close to breaking down.
You could see her hands trembling.
"We’re really struggling financially. The child’s father works as a security guard, and I work as a saleswoman in a clothing store. We have two kids and four elderly to support. If this treatment doesn’t work, what will we do?"
The woman’s story could be true.
Or she might be exaggerating for sympathy.
After all, with the patient’s family right there, if she didn’t paint a desperate picture, the family might demand a huge settlement, and she’d be left with nothing but tears.
After all, stepping up to take responsibility is better than causing trouble and then evading it like a debtor.
But seeing the patient had many male family members, all strong and sturdy, if she tried to avoid responsibility, they probably wouldn’t let her off.
Having several male relatives, in situations like this, could add considerable pressure.
