As someone with great experience, there is a wealth of insights on many matters.
Take for example the time when Li Jingsheng kindly worked overtime at noon to set bones for a patient, only to end up with a mass complaint against him.
It completely overlooked human nature.
"Okay, I will gradually adjust."
Li Jingsheng knew the teacher meant well for him.
But he ultimately couldn’t help being soft-hearted; seeing the patient’s pain, he felt it was fine to sacrifice a bit of his rest to help them.
Like this current patient, a radial fracture.
If Li Jingsheng didn’t treat her, she might have to undergo surgery. She has three kids in school, and her husband works on a construction site. If she were hospitalized for surgery, there would be nobody to care for the three children at home.
Since she hurt herself by falling off a scooter and hasn’t bought medical insurance, she needs to pay the entire treatment cost herself.
It’s easy to imagine the financial pressure this accident would bring on her.
Li Jingsheng helped her with a manual reduction, without hospitalization, keeping costs low, enabling her to care for the kids a bit at home. Her husband wouldn’t need to stop work to come back; this will be a huge help to her family.
For Li Jingsheng, it was only a twenty-minute job.
So he was very willing to work extra hours.
The majority of patients visiting the hospital are ordinary folks, and as a doctor, he can’t save everyone.
But if he can help, he definitely will lend a hand.
...
By the time he finished and got off work, the other consultation rooms had long since closed.
Ou Qinglan left work quite early today, arriving a little after six to wait for Li Jingsheng.
She seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Let’s go, off work time!"
Li Jingsheng held her hand, and they both returned to his clinic.
"Not going to the cafeteria for dinner?"
Ou Qinglan asked.
"Isn’t today your birthday? We definitely need to celebrate with a nice meal, otherwise you’ll call me an insufferable pig again later!"
Li Jingsheng said with a smile.
"Haha, good that you understand! How about a Western restaurant?"
"Today the birthday person decides, your call!"
"Hmph, you’ll have to listen to me from now on."
She wrinkled her nose.
"I’ve only heard of the husband leading after marriage!"
Li Jingsheng worked hard for post-marital sovereignty.
"Hmph, I’ve changed that phrase; now it’s the wife leading the husband!"
"You are altering historical literature; future generations will criticize you!"
"I’m not afraid!"
They laughed and walked out of the hospital, and needless to say, enjoyed a romantic dinner.
