Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 795

Chapter 795: Chapter 371: Extortion, Trouble Caused by Duck Bones

The patient is bedridden and unable to walk. In this situation, it is necessary to massage the muscles in the legs and other areas to prevent muscle atrophy and blood stasis.

After checking the elderly patient’s condition, Li Jingsheng sighed inwardly, knowing he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Acute gastroenteritis is a common clinical disease, but the elderly patient delayed treatment, leading to severe consequences.

Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to question the elderly patient in front of them, asking why a minor illness was allowed to become severe before seeking hospital treatment.

Otherwise, the patient would likely feel very upset.

The illness is particularly unfriendly to an elderly person with a weakened constitution.

If a young person contracted this illness, they could likely recover with some medication, perhaps without even needing hospitalization.

Leaving the ward, Li Jingsheng pondered the treatment steps for this elderly patient and potential scenarios.

"Jingsheng, you’ve seen the patient now. Do you think there’s hope?"

"There is hope, but not much. There’s one thing that I think could be utilized. If done well, it might just turn the tide and help the patient through this life-or-death moment."

Li Jingsheng said.

"How could it turn the tide?"

"The patient wants to finish writing that book, right? I think that desire can be harnessed. Just now, I noticed that the patient’s spirits were high, with a bright and vibrant look in their eyes. This is a solid foundation. Sometimes, faith exceeds all good medicine."

In clinical practice, a patient’s faith is indeed crucial.

Simply put, it’s the desire for life, maintaining an optimistic and positive attitude towards treatment, which can help boost the body’s immunity.

"That’s an excellent suggestion. I’ll make good use of it."

Lian Tao’s eyes gleamed.

He had always felt that every time he discussed medical issues with Li Jingsheng, even though his own knowledge and clinical experience were more extensive, he always learned valuable insights from Li Jingsheng.

Li Jingsheng almost always had extraordinary insights or remarkable diagnostic ideas.

He felt this was a person’s inherent talent.

It’s not something that can be acquired just by reading more books or diagnosing more patients.

"Brother Tao, it’s already very late. I have to go back now. If there’s any progress or questions about these patients, feel free to text me."

Li Jingsheng said, and then promptly left.

With a wave, he headed straight for the elevator.

Helping out Lian Tao, he never charged a consultation fee.

It was purely mutual assistance between friends, which could also be seen as medical exchange.

"Take care on the road."

"Hey, who would’ve thought Brother Tao could also become such a considerate guy? I always thought you were just a medicine-obsessed fanatic!"

"Get out of here, am I that rigid? Don’t forget to practice colonoscopy, ha!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget."

As Li Jingsheng left the gastroenterology inpatient department, he originally wanted to look for Luo Binggang and Wang Weiwei, but seeing it was already very late, he decided against it.

Back at the clinic, he busied himself with his tasks unmentioned.

The clinic’s development was improving, allowing him to face many situations with composure, confidence, and assurance.

A man must have his own career.

Otherwise, he is destined to be a hollow shell, powerless to act in major matters without money in his pocket.

...

The next day, after getting up, Li Jingsheng had just walked down from the second floor when the newly hired security guard, Xiang Cangsong, came over with a letter.

"Boss, someone just delivered a letter. They told me to give it to you."

Xiang Cangsong had worked hard to get this job and was working diligently.

He had cleaned the yard spotlessly early in the morning.

He had also taken out all the trash from the clinic hallway and offices.

Li Jingsheng took the envelope and looked at it; not a word was written on it.

In this day and age, with the convenience of calls, messages, and emails, who would still use such a means to write to him?

Moreover, no name was left, making it quite mysterious.

Upon opening the envelope, there was only a printed note inside.

"If you want to successfully acquire this property, prepare fifty thousand and transfer it to the designated account, or it will definitely fall through."

So this was extortion.

Demanding fifty thousand upfront, this person had quite an appetite.

Fifty thousand could already buy a small apartment outright.

Li Jingsheng had put in great effort, utilizing various relationships and going through numerous hardships to obtain this purchase qualification.

For what reason?

Wasn’t it to acquire it at a low price?

He was willing to pay the ownership company a management fee of fifty thousand for this property.

But to give the extortionist fifty thousand, why should he?

No one’s money grows on trees.

"Old Xiang, has the person who delivered the letter left?"

"Left! Wearing a baseball cap, looked about in his forties, decades shy of fifty. The person threw down this letter, tossed a ten yuan tip, and left. All he said was to hand it over to Li Jingsheng."

Xiang Cangsong, this fellow, had a bit of rural cunning.

The part about the ten yuan tip would never have been mentioned if Li Jingsheng hadn’t pressed him.

"In such cases, if someone willingly tips, I don’t object. You can keep it. But if it’s from patients or their families asking you for help, then you definitely can’t accept it. Otherwise, you’re not suited for this job."

Li Jingsheng held high moral standards for each of the clinic’s employees.

He absolutely prohibited any form of bribery or coercion.
