Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Clinic Plans to Expand Staff

The little girl is only 11 years old. If it’s confirmed to be bone cancer, from her current condition, it’s likely already in the mid to late stages.

Even amputating both legs may not be able to save her life.

Moreover, the chemo and radiation therapy post-amputation would cause significant pain to the patient.

"Boss, what illness did that child have just now?"

Tang Ping came over after sending off a customer.

"It could be bone cancer."

Li Jingsheng’s tone was somber, not a trace of a smile on his face.

"Ah... that little girl is so small, how could she have this illness! What a pity!"

Tang Ping felt deep regret upon hearing this.

"The child’s mother told me that the kid doesn’t like eating proper meals and treats snacks as staple food. Now, cancer rates are high and appearing in younger people, greatly related to junk food. I didn’t dare to say these things, or else the child’s mother would feel even worse."

Li Jingsheng shook his head.

He received a few more waves of customers one after another. By about 7:40 in the evening, there were hardly any customers coming in, and he was preparing to close up and call it a day.

"Sister Tang, let’s wrap up for the day! I’ll count this as two hours of overtime for you today."

Li Jingsheng took out the attendance book and noted it down for her.

"Thank you, boss!"

She didn’t refuse.

In reality, she spent around half an hour attending to people, typically clocking out at six. All told, it amounted to about 70 minutes of overtime.

Li Jingsheng wasn’t a penny-pinching boss.

He wouldn’t cause discord among employees over 50 minutes of overtime pay.

By simply helping to sell a couple of extra boxes of supplements, even more than the overtime pay was earned back.

"Great, great, finally I can go eat KFC!" Niuniu quickly packed up her books, waiting for Li Jingsheng to take her for a "feast."

"No, we’re going home. I’ll cook for you. Didn’t you see that eleven-year-old sister getting sick from eating too much junk food?"

Tang Ping put on a stern face, refusing to let Niuniu go to KFC no matter what.

Seeing someone else’s daughter possibly having bone cancer, Tang Ping probably got quite scared.

After all, the bloody example was right in front of them.

"You’re lying, adults lie, you don’t keep your word, boohoo..."

Niuniu cried sadly and felt wronged.

"Sister Tang, how about this, we go to KFC later and appropriately get some cola and ice cream, does that work for you? It’s not good to go back on a promise to the child.

Eating KFC once or twice occasionally doesn’t actually have much of an impact."

Li Jingsheng, seeing the mother and daughter getting into an argument, quickly tried to mediate.

"Alright then! Today, only because of Uncle Li, I’ll agree to let you eat once. In the future, you have to eat properly, no junk food, got it?"

Her tone was still stern.

Li Jingsheng noticed that she would usually treat Niuniu kindly, rarely using such a serious tone.

Today, she must have been genuinely frightened.

"Okay, got it!"

Niuniu, hearing her mother agree for her to go to KFC, nodded her little head like a chick pecking at rice.

Children don’t hold grudges overnight.

Once her goal was achieved, she was all smiles again.

When Tang Ping came out dressed to go, Li Jingsheng already packed a bag of fruits that Niuniu and Tang Ping loved.

All chosen by Niuniu herself.

It was clear to see, with Li Jingsheng gifting her fruits and treating her to KFC, Niuniu became evidently closer to him.

"Boss, why do you give us so much fruit!"

"I can only eat so much by myself, and they’d rot eventually. Niuniu said mom loves durian the most, so that whole box is for you, remember to keep it in the fridge if you don’t finish it at home."

Li Jingsheng instructed.

"You are too good to me."

You could see her gratitude written all over her face. The look she gave Li Jingsheng was both respectful and gentle.

"Of course! You’re my only employee right now. If I don’t treat you well, what if you quit?"

Li Jingsheng joked seriously, making her cover her mouth and laugh.
