"Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you. After this incident, I wouldn’t dare go back to work."
She nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Li Jingsheng helped her out of the treatment room, and outside, her husband watched his wife being able to walk normally, his heart filled with joy.
The worry in his heart was finally relieved.
This trip turned out to be the right decision.
Such severe illness, yet Dr. Li managed to treat it on the spot.
"Thank you, Dr. Li! Thank you! You’ve been a great help to our family! I want to kneel down and thank you!"
The husband, as he spoke, was about to kneel on the ground in gratitude.
"Brother, don’t do this, don’t do this! Treating patients and saving lives is what I should do; it’s my job."
Li Jingsheng quickly signaled the trainees behind him to help the family member up.
At this moment, Dr. Chen returned.
He handed over a receipt to Li Jingsheng.
"Here is the receipt for the two hundred yuan you gave me. If I hadn’t accepted the money then, you wouldn’t have felt secure. Now that the treatment is completed, you don’t have to worry that I won’t try my best because I didn’t charge you. I asked Dr. Chen to deposit these two hundred yuan into your prepayment account. When you go to settle the bill at the window later, any surplus will be refunded directly to you."
Li Jingsheng handed the receipt to the family member.
The moved family member held his hand tightly and said with a trembling voice, "Good doctor, you are the best doctor I’ve ever met! And that Professor Zhong is also a good doctor; if it weren’t for his introduction, I wouldn’t have known that this disease should be treated by you."
"Doctors all over the world, at least most of them, are good. I’ll prescribe some medicine for your wife; you can get the medicine from the pharmacy and follow the medical advice. The lumbar support cannot be removed; it needs to be worn continuously. You can come back for a follow-up in six weeks. Then we will teach you some rehabilitation training methods."
Li Jingsheng gave them some necessary reminders and explanations.
He also provided a vivid lesson to the five new trainees.
Teaching them how to interact with patients and their family members, and how to practice medicine.
Li Jingsheng wouldn’t dare say his approach is absolutely correct, but at least, he believes his actions are worthy of the white coat he wears.
"You five can now answer my question. When examining the patient, did you notice anything else?"
After seeing off the patient and family member, Li Jingsheng turned to the five new trainees.
"Dr. Li, can I join in too? I’m one of your trainees!"
Dr. Chen asked with a cheeky smile.
"No problem, you answer last."
Li Jingsheng couldn’t be sure if Dr. Chen had noticed anything.
"I found the patient’s vertebrae are thicker than those of ordinary people!"
Tang Xianyue’s answer made Li Jingsheng want to hit the wall.
"I felt the right side of the patient’s lumbar spine had a slight depression; I’m not sure if that counts?"
Yang Luqing, looking tall and strong, typical of a Northeastern man, unexpectedly had a keen eye.
Li Jingsheng remained expressionless.
Gao Yang occasionally glanced at Li Jingsheng, looking for a correct answer through his expressions.
