Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic
Chapter 849: The Heart Is the Body’s Key Protected Organ—Looks Like Another Windfall
Chapter 849 -398: The Heart Is the Body’s Key Protected Organ—Looks Like Another Windfall
The cart of restocked items is fully loaded. It’s almost a regular occurrence now.
Back when Sunshine Clinic was contracted, Manager Hu did it entirely due to Xie Guiqiu’s influence.
Who would have thought that the rundown, tiny clinic would now be the strongest among Manager Hu’s contracted clients?
Its sales performance leaves the largest local pharmacy chains in the dust.
Same medicines, same prices, yet everyone rushes to buy from Sunshine Clinic. This makes the distributors and pharmacy owners quite envious.
“Didn’t our clinic get smeared online a few days ago? Now, public opinion has reversed, and everyone is praising you, praising our clinic for having a good conscience, excellent medical skills, and reliable medicines. They even say we have a golden reputation. Everyone is saying all kinds of things.
Then starting yesterday afternoon, online sales of our medicines have been climbing.
Today, it’s exploded.
As of now, online medicine sales have surpassed those of the day before by fifty percent.
Do you know what netizens are saying?”
Xiaogao teased him a bit.
“What are they saying?”
Li Jingsheng wanted to hear the comments from the netizens.
“They say that if they don’t buy out Sunshine Clinic’s medicines this year, they would be letting down Dr. Li’s compassion. They also say that everyone here has the responsibility to ensure Sunshine Clinic prospers.”
Xiaogao’s heart was filled with pride as he spoke about the netizens’ supportive comments.
Being able to run the clinic to this extent is rarely seen nationwide.
“It seems public sentiment is indeed with us! Allowing the fully paralyzed woman and her family to stay overnight at the clinic was just a small, ordinary act for me. Yet when that rumor monger stirred things up, it was like using a super magnifying glass, amplifying our good deed countless times. I wonder how that rumor monger feels about this result?”
Li Jingsheng is in great need of money right now.
And it’s a large sum.
The surge in online medicine sales brings him immense joy.
He’s someone who has struggled to climb out from the mire, and achieving what he has today hasn’t come easily. Thus, he constantly maintains a cautious approach despite the stability.
The experience of the clinic almost losing its lease remains fresh in his mind.
Now, Sunshine Clinic has moved to a new location, advancing several levels, and is flourishing.
But this also instills a stronger sense of crisis in him.
Only by purchasing the property of the clinic will he have peace of mind.
Moreover, if it’s his own property, he can renovate it however he wants.
“Personally, I think this is a case of ‘Those who attain the way get more support.’ Honestly, when I first moved to Sunshine Clinic, all I thought about was how I could make more money and avoid getting fired by you. Back then, I behaved properly solely out of fear of losing this job, and it was your influence that made me consciously rid my mind of bad thoughts.
Later, working beside you, observing your words and actions, I found my mindset becoming increasingly upright.
Now I no longer worry about being fired by you. Even when you’re not around, and there’s no direct pressure from you, I know how to act.
I feel my character becoming more upright, and my heart growing stronger and more open.”
Xiaogao rarely spoke about his personal progress.
Such changes in thought are hard for outsiders to perceive unless he shared them himself.
Proximity affects character, just as proximity to ink turns one black, and proximity to cinnabar makes one red.
Li Jingsheng’s upright behavior and compassionate heart greatly influenced Xiaogao.
“Progress is always a good thing. Work hard, I believe you will develop better and better.” Li Jingsheng affirmed Xiaogao’s progress.
During this period, he himself has experienced significant progress.
Having gone through many things and dealt with many people, he matured rapidly, more closely resembling a boss with a commanding presence.
Previously, if anyone caused trouble in the clinic, he would panic terribly.
Now when issues arise, he remains composed and unperturbed.
“The reversal of online public opinion is a good thing. Make sure to manage the online medicine sales service well. Moreover, I’ve been contemplating adding a new position recently, hiring a quality control officer to rigorously check every medicine in the clinic. Management of stock on entry and exit will require their oversight.”
I wanted to add such a position long ago.
But back then, funds were tight, and the clinic needed money everywhere, so I had to economize costs.
Now, with a bit of foundation, what I aim for is growth while maintaining stability. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Adding a quality control position means additional personnel costs of seven to eight thousand a month, but it’s money worth spending.
It effectively serves as a safeguard for the clinic’s medicines.
It can minimize the risk of tarnishing the brand due to medicinal issues.
Li Jingsheng checked the procurement list, and seeing no issues, he submitted it directly to Qiu Shaofeng.
Every time he procures medicines now, it’s a significant transaction, making him an absolute major client for Best Medicine.
Any needs he has are promptly dealt with over there.
They quickly sent over a quotation.
Now, due to the bulk purchases, procurement is all at the lowest price.
Lower procurement costs mean richer profits.
Only a small portion of these profits enters his personal pocket. The rest gets distributed as salaries and commissions to packagers, customer service representatives, operations officers, and offline medicine staff.
A portion might even be set aside as year-end bonuses to distribute later.
In this regard, he does very well, never thinking of hoarding all the wealth for himself.
Everyone earns together, and everyone shares together.
Only this way can he have so many willing to work hard for him and rally around him.
After restocking, Li Jingsheng once again diagnosed that difficult case.
He was restless until he could diagnose it.
“Lian Tao, can we conduct an additional renal function test and two biochemical tests, namely ALT and AST, for the patient?”
Even a capable woman cannot cook without rice.
To achieve a major breakthrough in diagnosing this case, additional tests are necessary.
The biggest difference between Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine is that Chinese medicine is more abstract, giving doctors greater decision-making authority.
In Chinese medicine, after checking the patient’s pulse, observing the complexion, and listening to symptoms, medication can be prescribed directly.
Because traditional Chinese medicine tends to be gentler, patients often take one or two doses to test the effect. If effective, treatment continues in that direction.
If the effect is poor, it indicates an incorrect diagnosis, requiring a change in treatment approach, medication, or even a different doctor.
Western medicine places more emphasis on diagnostic evidence.
In essence, it relies on test results as important evidence.
For example, a doctor, based on experience, might suspect a female patient’s breast lump is malignant, possibly breast cancer.
But based on this alone, the doctor can’t prescribe medication or perform surgery.
Relevant tests must be completed to acquire surgical indicators.
Surgeries can’t be performed based on a doctor’s word alone.
This illustrates the difference between the two.
“Do you suspect the patient might have issues with the liver or kidneys?”
After some time, Lian Tao replied with a message.
He’s surely busy.
“After thinking it through, only these two organs appear the most suspicious. I think it’s prudent to rule them out. Currently, reasoning suggests the kidneys are more likely affected, but my intuition points to minimal possibility of kidney issues. So, a renal function test is needed for exclusion.”
Conducting tests on patients isn’t about performing any test whimsically.
There must be justification and a corresponding diagnostic approach.
Otherwise, it becomes excessive testing.
“Alright, arrangements will be made immediately. I’ve long intended to conduct a renal function test for the patient, this time it’s finally getting done.”
Lian Tao agreed to the two test requests.
They are inexpensive and non-invasive tests, making communication with the patient and their family easier.
“Let’s not chat more; I’ve received two severe cases this morning, and I’m on the verge of collapse. If this keeps up, the patients might survive, but I won’t.”
Lian Tao only shares his grievances with his good friend Li Jingsheng.
Being this old and still single, even at his age, he still longs for a young girl. The problem is that the girl in question is still troubled by serious intestinal issues.
A doctor marrying a patient sounds quite legendary.
But it’s rare.
After finishing the chat with Lian Tao, someone claiming to be a legal officer from Secondary Hospital requested to add him as a friend.
In these times, there are plenty of scammers, so Li Jingsheng cautiously added them first.
If they ask him to transfer money, he definitely wouldn’t do it.
“Hello Dr. Li!”
The legal officer was a woman.
From what he knows, the Secondary Hospital’s legal team isn’t composed of just one person but a whole team.
Since litigation is frequent, constantly hiring lawyers isn’t cost-effective.
They aren’t heartfelt.
Better to fund several in-house lawyers, unafraid of litigation. They safeguard the interests of Secondary Hospital more sincerely.
Many larger companies have dedicated legal departments.
“Hello!”
Li Jingsheng sent over a handshake emoji.
Unsure about why this person added him as a friend?
