Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 199 - 133: Not Like I Imagined—Is This a Fisherman’s Profit? (Part 2)

Both of them were quietly observing everything inside the clinic.

Xiaogao looked up and saw an old man and a middle-aged man walk in, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.

This means business has arrived!

He was most skilled at persuading the elderly to buy health supplements.

"Uncle, do you need to buy some preventative health supplements or tonics?"

Xiaogao enthusiastically greeted Director Yang.

As for Lian Tao, who had an extraordinary demeanor and was dressed quite well, he was not Xiaogao's type.

Males like this were better handled by Tang Ping, as she had a higher success rate.

Li Jingsheng was diagnosing a patient with a mouth ulcer.

He was always particularly careful when seeing such patients.

Normal mouth ulcers caused by heat or food injuries are not a big deal; even without medication, they can heal in seven or eight days. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The serious ones are those that could indicate some infectious diseases or major illnesses, which need careful differentiation.

Not to mention other things, just hand, foot, and mouth disease alone can be contagious.

And oral ulcers in HIV patients are also frightening.

Some patients, if they have unclean illnesses, often don't go to big hospitals and instead seek treatment at small clinics.

This makes them more prone to 'hitting the jackpot.'

After a detailed examination and inquiry, fortunately, this patient had just eaten too many lychees and had been staying up late, leading to some heat issues.

He sold a bottle of watermelon frost spray to the patient, telling her to spray it on her ulcer at home using a mirror.

If there's no effect, she could come back for a follow-up consultation.

By then, he would start an IV to control the infection, and she would recover quickly.

Director Yang looked at the counter in front of Xiaogao and was particularly shocked to find that the health supplements inside were all from big brands.

The impression this small clinic gave him was gradually changing.

It seemed that a clinic capable of making it to the newspapers indeed had a certain level of quality.

Director Yang ignored Xiaogao's enthusiastic introduction and headed straight towards Li Jingsheng.

"Doctor, could you help me? I've been feeling quite unwell recently."

Director Yang sat at the consultation desk.

"Where do you feel unwell?"

Li Jingsheng had actually noticed the two of them long ago.

Opening a clinic on Old Street of South City and surviving required the skill to judge people and their conditions.

Otherwise, if a troublemaker enters the clinic and you naively welcome them and prescribe medicine, wouldn't that be foolish?

Look at Furuiduo Pharmacy, which had just opened and already cooled down after one day; the boss probably still can't figure out why a mishap occurred on the very first day of business?

The first impression Li Jingsheng got from these two was that they had an extraordinary demeanor.

He even faintly sensed the aura of fellow practitioners on them. Especially Director Lian; having just worked an afternoon shift at the hospital without changing clothes or showering, Li Jingsheng immediately smelled the hospital scent as he approached.

Moreover, these two had alighted from a taxi, which also didn't escape Li Jingsheng's sharp eyes.

Specially taking a taxi over, with one of them having the scent of hospital disinfectant.

What on earth were these two here for?

Li Jingsheng maintained a calm and composed appearance while pondering internally.

Director Yang and Director Lian were still under the impression that their identities hadn't been recognized.

Little did they know that the clinic owner on this street was so formidable!

This was fortunate they met Li Jingsheng; if it were Boss Zhao's clinic, their ancestry might be dug out by Boss Zhao.

In terms of this ability, Li Jingsheng was far less skilled than Boss Zhao.

Li Jingsheng secretly observed the old man.

Dressed not poorly, but not exceptionally well. His complexion was a bit pale, with a slight sickly look that was definitely not feigned.

He took a blood pressure reading, which was normal.

His heart rate was a bit fast.

"It's hard to say, just feeling exhausted all over, no appetite, with a heavy feeling like a stone on my chest, feeling overall unwell."

Director Yang tried hard to describe his symptoms.

"Let me listen to your heart and lungs then!"

Li Jingsheng listened to the heart and lung sounds of Director Yang, while Director Lian stood beside watching.

Currently, his internal and pulmonary diagnostics were at a Master Level, equivalent to a junior attending physician's diagnosing level.

Not exceptionally advanced.

Most small illnesses could still be diagnosed at the clinic.

"The heart sounds are weak, the heart rate is slightly fast, breathing is rather short, body temperature and blood pressure are normal. From my examination, there's no serious illness. It should just be excessive mental stress, possibly due to inner anxiety and panic. If you agree, I can prescribe a box of calming and sedative medicine. However, medication can't solve your inner worries; it can only alleviate your anxiety. I suggest communicating more with family, discussing with children, and confiding in your wife could be good options."

Li Jingsheng was not very skilled in treating mental illnesses.

He only knew a bit about it.

The old man's eyes lacked focus, with a trace of worry deep inside, probably burdened with heavy thoughts.

"Then please prescribe some medicine for me!"

Director Yang's gaze towards Li Jingsheng completely changed.

Not just him, even Director Lian was astounded by Li Jingsheng's diagnostic capability.

Without any imaging or laboratory tests, just by measuring basic vital signs and a brief inquiry, he could accurately diagnose Director Yang's illness without deviation.

This was truly remarkable.

A hundred times better than those young doctors who only follow protocols, sending patients for this test and that test, getting themselves confused in the end.

A person's reputation, like a tree's shadow.

This small clinic indeed was no ordinary establishment!
