"Probably! I started feeling a bit unwell before dinner. I thought it was because I was bare-chested while working and then cleaned myself with cold water, so I caught a cold."
With the consultation reaching this point, Li Jingsheng began to ponder.
Taking cold medicine had no effect; it’s not a big issue in itself.
Severe cold, incorrect medication, or purchasing counterfeit cold medicine from small factories could all lead to poor treatment results.
He integrated the patient’s symptoms and medical history information.
Low blood pressure, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, mild chest tightness, yellowish vomit.
Low blood pressure became the focus.
The patient may have had low blood pressure symptoms even before the onset,
or it may be a sudden drop in blood pressure after the onset last night.
Li Jingsheng began diagnosing based on both hypotheses.
A rare disease that once rampaged through the country and then gradually disappeared came to his mind.
Reading more books in usual times can indeed be quite helpful.
It ensures that when encountering difficult cases, one isn’t caught without knowledge.
He will definitely continue to maintain the good habit of reading in the future, diligently accumulating more and more medical insights and knowledge.
"I’ll take an X-ray to check the situation inside the chest. How about that? I suspect your illness might be related to the heart or cardiovascular system." Li Jingsheng sought the patient’s opinion.
"Okay."
The patient agreed readily.
"Our clinic charges separately for tests; an X-ray or ultrasound costs 100 yuan each. Please scan the code to pay."
Han Siying is becoming more and more competent now.
Knowing to persuade the patient to pay the examination fee from the side.
If Li Jingsheng, as the boss, were to bring it up, it would more or less seem a bit degrading.
When the nurse or medical assistant raises it, it avoids leaving a bad impression of Li Jingsheng on the patient.
Some patients are quite sensitive; if a doctor asks for examination fees before finishing the consultation, it could make them feel the doctor is only concerned with making money.
This could greatly reduce the mutual trust between doctor and patient.
"I can’t scan, can I pay cash?"
"Sure!"
Han Siying took 100 yuan from the patient and brought it to the cashier.
Currently, Tang Ping mainly handles the cashier duties.
Actually, cash payments are rare; most payments are made via scanning. Li Jingsheng didn’t hire a separate cashier to save a salary.
When necessary, all clinic employees can manage the cash register.
But the person Li Jingsheng trusts most is Tang Ping.
Even Xiaogao, Li Jingsheng is cautious about.
Money and wealth have influenced people’s minds since ancient times.
