Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 152 - 117: Silent Profits and Secretly Improving Medical Skills (Part 3)
Now, with his strength improving, it doesn’t seem so terrifying anymore.
For example, that old man with a pustule on his back, and the little boy with a dislocated shoulder today, both cases that the community health service station couldn’t cure.
And all of them were treated by Li Jingsheng, the small clinic doctor.
This also shows that his medical skills are indeed improving very rapidly.
The advanced bone-setting skill has eight techniques in total, and he has already learned two, with six remaining, so he still needs to keep working hard.
Strive to finish training as soon as possible.
...
The days passed steadily for eight days.
His small clinic has basically returned to calm, as the buzz from getting on the newspaper has almost disappeared.
However, the influence brought by being on the newspaper is a long-term benefit, giving his clinic a very positive image.
The clinic now sees an average of more than 10 patients per day.
On the peak day, he even saw 17 patients, breaking the clinic’s patient visit record.
That day was also Li Jingsheng’s busiest day.
During these eight days, he also learned another advanced bone-setting technique.
Twist and Stretch Skill.
This skill, along with traction techniques, forms a complement, filling some of the shortcomings he had in manual realignment.
Traction and stretch are two completely different bone-setting techniques.
The Twist and Stretch Skill is mainly for correcting rotational and angular deformities at fracture ends, particularly suitable for fractures near the joints.
This technique compensates for the deficiencies of simple traction techniques.
While traction focuses on joint realignment, twist and stretch can correct dislocations and cracks in fractures, greatly aiding joint realignment.
With these two advanced bone-setting techniques, he is now capable of tackling complex realignments of fractures combined with joint displacements.
However, he’s mindful of his life value this time, and only upgraded these two bone-setting techniques to the proficient level.
For now, he’s reluctant to upgrade them to Master Level.
Instead, he’s saving life value to advance his doctor level.
After eight days, his current level is Senior Resident Doctor 689.5/1000.
Without any special opportunities, the level experience growth is quite slow.
Compared to before, it actually grows quite fast.
He currently has a life value balance of 527 points.
In eight days, his life value increased by 205 points, which is not bad.
This is still without encountering emergency patients or receiving pennants, otherwise, it would’ve been more.
With a life value as high as over 500, it’s more than sufficient to upgrade his doctor level to Attending Level easily.
He’s been holding off on upgrading for two reasons: one, afraid of encountering unexpected emergencies where he’d run out of life value and couldn’t upgrade crucial life-saving skills; two, there’s no urgent necessity to upgrade at the moment.
He’s also intentionally trying to develop patience, unlike before when he couldn’t save up.
Another reason is that he’s already gained enough attention earlier, so he’s laying low for now to reduce his presence.
A tall tree catches the wind; when someone is too outstanding, even heaven may be jealous, not to mention competitors in this region.
Although the community health service station seems quiet, if Li Jingsheng stands out too much, it’s either submission or suppression, and there’s no third path for him.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain.
The community health service station is striving to become a health service center, and if a local clinic steals its thunder, that could cause significant changes.
It won’t allow such a thing to happen.
Li Jingsheng, with his keen "sense," developed over nine months of practice, can sense that invisible danger.
So he’s particularly cautious and careful in his actions.
His current approach is to quietly make money, continuously improve his medical skills, and steadily build his reputation.
With Xiaogao’s joining, the clinic’s current daily stable sales of health and tonic products is about 7,000 yuan/day.
It fluctuates, not very fixed.
On average, it’s about that number.
Tang Ping’s daily sales have been completely overshadowed by Xiaogao, with about 1,500 yuan sold a day.
Xiaogao consistently sells over 5,000 yuan a day.
This is also earned through Xiaogao’s hard work.
Li Jingsheng doesn’t even know how many godmothers and godfathers Xiaogao has recognized.
Many elderly women and men come in specifically looking for him.
This guy looks simple-minded but is actually shrewd, with a knack for finding the pulse of those elderly women and men.
However, Xiaogao’s tricks don’t work as well with younger people.
One could say that every object has its counter, and all things in this world balance each other.
There’s no one who can appeal to all customer groups.
The middle-aged man who doesn’t buy health products and pesters Tang Ping still frequently visits. He stays for an hour or two, shamelessly trying to get closer to Li Jingsheng, Tang Ping, and Xiaogao.
The main purpose of this person is definitely Tang Ping.
His wandering eyes mostly linger on Tang Ping’s graceful figure or delicate, beautiful face.
Running a business with an open-door policy means that dealing with such people is indeed quite tricky.
If this person doesn’t make any excessive moves, it’s hard to directly kick him out.
As for ignoring him with a cold face, it’s useless.
This kind of person has thicker skin than a rogue, utterly shameless.
Fortunately, Li Jingsheng has Xiaogao, the ’sales prodigy,’ so now the rent has been fully gathered. The salary owed to Tang Ping has also been paid.
When paying the owed salary, Li Jingsheng added 200 yuan as interest.
But she insisted on not accepting it.
This month is coming to an end too; I bet her salary will surely exceed ten thousand.
As for Xiaogao’s salary, it’s temporarily unclear, but if this momentum continues, it might also surpass ten thousand. With his customer base expanding, next month’s salary could possibly double.
In short, Xiaogao’s ’financial future’ is exceptionally bright.
And as for Li Jingsheng, the boss, it goes without saying, he’s making piles of money too.
Being able to earn a year’s rent in less than a month is something he never dared to imagine before.
By evening when it was time to close, Xiaogao took the initiative to walk over to Li Jingsheng’s clinic table.
"Boss, can I discuss a few things with you?"
"Sure, of course!"
Li Jingsheng was very polite to Xiaogao. After all, Xiaogao is now Sunshine Clinic’s ’money-making monster.’
Not treating Xiaogao well is just like going against your money.
Sunshine Clinic’s current health product sales mainly rely on Xiaogao.
"I’d like to ask for an advance of 200 yuan of my salary. Boss Zhao is getting discharged today, and I want to buy some fruit to visit him after work."
"No problem."
Li Jingsheng wrote down in the ledger that Xiaogao was getting a 200 yuan advance on his salary and had him sign it.
He gave 200 yuan in cash on the spot.
Boss Zhao’s hospital stay was quite long this time, almost lasted about ten days.
During these days, Quick Recovery Clinic was managed by his wife.
His wife was very fierce, managing the doctors and nurses in Quick Recovery Clinic firmly, and she spent every evening accompanying Boss Zhao.
She twice glared at Li Jingsheng with hostility.
She probably blames Li Jingsheng for causing her husband to have a heart attack.
This can only be blamed on Boss Zhao himself; Li Jingsheng is more wronged than Dou E.
