Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 232 - 144: Officially Open for Business, Massive HP_2
Some special bone features should be detectable now.
For example, the skeletal features of a terminal cancer patient.
This can help him significantly reduce the treatment risks of manual bone setting.
Reducing the chance of being blackmailed by patients.
After all, one misstep could result in losing hundreds of thousands, or even more.
"With the Minor Achievement level Bone Touching Skill as a safeguard, I can finally put up a sign for the manual Bone Setting project."
Li Jingsheng had been looking forward to this for a long time.
After all, his small clinic was basically surviving on sales of health supplements now.
This was somewhat backwards.
After all, this is a clinic, not a pharmacy.
The ideal situation would be for health supplements to sell well, and for the medical services to be well established, each contributing equally.
Moreover, it would be ideal if the income from medical services accounted for more than sixty percent of the clinic’s profits.
"I need to go out for a bit, call me if anything comes up."
Li Jingsheng gave a brief instruction and headed straight to the advertising store.
After inquiring, the foam advertising sign costs around 70, while the metal sign costs 420 yuan.
Although the metal one is several times more expensive, it is durable, and looks more classy. Over time, the lettering won’t fade.
Li Jingsheng now had a bit of spare cash, so he generously ordered a metal sign.
After paying the deposit, the store owner was so happy he couldn’t close his mouth.
He promised to install it at the latest by 8 AM tomorrow.
Money does make things easier.
After handling the advertising sign, Li Jingsheng didn’t rush off.
He had never printed business cards before, and wanted to try printing two boxes to see how they worked.
With more people coming to see him for treatment, some patients often asked for his business card after being satisfied with the results.
He thought it would be nice to get a new number as a dedicated consultation line for the clinic.
After inquiry, business cards aren’t expensive, the cheapest box is just over ten yuan. A higher-end version is only twenty or thirty yuan. Order today, pick up tomorrow.
Then, his phone rang.
It was Tang Ping calling.
"Boss, the reporter from yesterday came again, and it looks like she brought some people from the TV station. Where are you now?"
"I’m at Lu Xiangyuan Advertising Store, why is she here again?"
Li Jingsheng felt a bit overwhelmed upon hearing this.
"You should come back quickly, the community staff are here too, along with the police."
"I’m coming back right away!"
Li Jingsheng didn’t know what was happening.
He quickly headed back to the clinic.
The advertising store was not far from his clinic, only about 150 meters away.
Soon, Li Jingsheng returned to the clinic.
Upon entering, he saw many people inside.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting! May I ask what this is about?"
Li Jingsheng thought hard trying to find any potential issues, but couldn’t figure out any risks.
"Hello, Dr. Li, we meet again! Today you’re enjoying a special honor, the police and community leaders have come personally to award you a certificate of bravery."
Female reporter Chu Yao greeted him with a smile.
Beside her was a mature and capable woman.
Her true age was hard to determine.
She had an elegant, intellectual, and stable demeanor.
At first glance, she looked like a twenty-five or six-year-old young girl, but her eyes showed the wisdom that comes with life’s experiences.
Despite excellent makeup skills, the lines on her face and crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes couldn’t be entirely hidden.
This woman was at least over thirty-five, maybe even forty.
As for her skin, tender and fair, well-maintained women could still look girlish at fifty or sixty.
Skin is hard to use for determining age.
"A certificate of bravery?"
Li Jingsheng looked at the police and community staff in astonishment.
"Do you remember last time outside the clinic, when you helped that injured person? Fortunately, you bravely stepped forward to provide assistance. The doctors at the second hospital told us that if it weren’t for your timely and correct wound stitching and bleeding control measures, that person could have been lost. Our police department leadership learned of this and felt your spirit of bravely risking attacker assault to save someone was very commendable.
Society needs this sort of positive energy.
Recently, we happened to be selecting a group of brave citizens, and you were included."
The police officer explained to Li Jingsheng.
"The community staff told us you’re very busy, so we decided to come to your place and award the honorary certificate."
"Thank you, I am truly grateful to the leaders!"
Li Jingsheng felt that when life is going well, friends are everywhere.
At this moment, he finally understood why the community leaders were so warm and enthusiastic since last investigating the clinic.
"Dr. Li, don’t be modest! It’s what our community should do! Our community is thrilled to have outstanding citizens like you."
The community leader finally found a moment to speak.
"Alright, let’s proceed with the certificate presentation! Dr. Li, maybe it would be more iconic to wear your white coat."
The police officer suggested.
Tang Ping swiftly brought over his white coat.
"Let’s do it at the clinic entrance!"
"Are we going to take photos?"
Li Jingsheng asked.
"Of course! How could we not record such a glorious moment? The newspaper and TV reporters can capture and promote more effectively!"
The community leader responded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Jingsheng reluctantly said, "Is it going on TV? Can I avoid being on camera?"
"Haha, Dr. Li is too humble! Being on TV and in the newspaper for promotion is an opportunity so many would seek! You can also take this chance to promote your clinic!"
