Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 242 - 147: Subjugation and the Terrifying Mouth Ulcers (Part 3)
But before Li Jingsheng left, Peng Jing caught up with him and asked him to think it over again and give Station Chief Qiao a reply in a couple of days.
This woman is definitely supporting Station Chief Qiao, catching up to give a ’kind advice’, which can be ignored.
Li Jingsheng drank two cups of liquor, his head was spinning a bit, and he went back to the clinic to sleep.
For someone who isn’t used to drinking, it’s best to keep away from this stuff.
The next morning when he woke up, he still felt somewhat groggy.
After splashing his face with cold water, he gradually returned to normal.
Station Chief Qiao invited him to the health center for consultations, at least three days a week, which basically meant incorporating him without much difference.
He certainly couldn’t agree to this.
However, after refusing, he might face difficulties or pressure from the other party, which he needed to prepare for.
Now, Li Jingsheng hoped he could successfully get featured in the newspaper or on TV.
Because once he was on the newspaper and TV, he could at least get a two to three-month ’immune period’.
During this period, Station Chief Qiao would not target him.
Of course, the best hope was to coexist peacefully.
Just like his current state with Boss Zhao, where everyone minded their own business without interfering with each other.
Li Jingsheng heard some noise outside and opened the clinic door.
The boss of the advertising shop brought an apprentice to install the custom-made bone setting signboard for him.
Some passersby, patients wanting to enter the clinic for treatment, were watching.
There weren’t many, just a dozen or so people.
"Boss Li, is this position for the sign alright?"
He actually confirmed this with him yesterday.
"It’s fine, nothing wrong with it."
Li Jingsheng turned his head to look at the rectangular stainless steel sign being installed.
"Bone Setting and Realignment" in large characters.
Below were a few lines of smaller text.
"Joint dislocation, misalignment, minor fractures, immediate treatment and departure."
Not bad, passersby could easily understand it at a glance.
Formally launching the bone-setting project, in the future, his small clinic would have an additional source of income.
"Can you really do bone setting and realignment here?"
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties stopped to watch and, upon seeing Li Jingsheng step out, he loudly asked.
"As long as it’s not too complicated, it can be treated."
Li Jingsheng looked the man up and down, his limbs coordinated, not appearing to have any fractures or joint dislocation!
"A few days ago, my wife injured her hand. Now whenever she uses a bit of force with her right hand, it’s very painful. Can you treat it?"
"Bring her over for a look! Only after checking can I tell you."
"How much would it cost?"
"That also depends on the situation, fees are charged based on difficulty and risk, but it’s definitely much cheaper than treatment in a big hospital."
Li Jingsheng had just put up the sign and had already received a business.
Of course, he was eager to take this on.
"I live over there, I’ll call my wife over in a bit to take a look."
"Sure!"
Li Jingsheng could tell at a glance that this man was likely a migrant worker.
Some migrant workers, due to their low educational level and lack of skills, have very low and unstable incomes.
They live quite a frugal life.
Like this man’s wife, who had already injured her hand for several days but hadn’t gone for a hospital examination and treatment.
Most ordinary people are afraid of going to the hospital and are reluctant to spend money.
The presence of the clinic can indeed solve some of the healthcare issues for the lower-class patients.
"Boss Li, how about this sign? It just got hung up and has already attracted business for you."
"The boss’s craftsmanship is unbeatable. Once it’s done being installed, I’ll transfer the final payment to you."
Li Jingsheng was turning to go back inside the clinic.
Because a customer had already gone inside.
Xiaogao happened to come to work just then.
Upon seeing the sign being installed, a smile immediately appeared on his face. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Seeing the clinic continuously growing and developing made him especially happy.
Everyone on this boat, the stronger the boat becomes, the better his income would be.
"Wow, it actually got a sign!"
Tang Ping also came over.
Looking up at the rather high-end stainless steel sign, her smile was unstoppable.
"I have a blister on my lip, do you have any medicine?"
A very young girl stood at the door and asked.
"Yes! I’ll get you some medicine!"
Li Jingsheng invited the patient inside.
To have two patients in the morning already, he could not be happier.
The shadow of the patient causing trouble last week seemed to have been completely dispelled.
It felt like the clouds above his head had cleared, revealing the sun once more.
Xiaogao was already busy on his side.
Even Tang Ping had to hurry over to attend to the customers buying medicine.
Saturday, many people were off work, and the foot traffic was quite significant.
"Did you get a blister inside your mouth?"
Li Jingsheng brought the young female patient to the examination table, then motioned for her to open her mouth and shined a small flashlight inside.
He saw several ulcers in the girl’s mouth, spreading in an oval shape.
The central area looked whitish.
This was the most common type of mouth ulcer.
"Let me take your temperature."
Li Jingsheng, being thorough, took her temperature as per the procedure.
37.2 degrees.
A low fever.
It’s that annoying low fever again.
Every time there was a low fever, he would get easily tense.
"Is it just a blister in your mouth, or is there anything else bothering you?"
"Hmm."
She nodded.
"I feel like I might be ’overheated’, there’s something hard here."
She pointed to the sides of her chin.
This is where the thyroid and lymph nodes are, and they can indeed develop nodules when ’overheated’.
However, after a few days, once the body returns to normal, they will disappear.
Hearing the patient say this, Li Jingsheng’s expression became serious.
"Low fever, mouth ulcers, and possible lymph node or thyroid enlargement on the neck. This doesn’t seem like a common ’overheating’!"
Furthermore, just now, the ulcers in her mouth looked odd.
Every ulcer was particularly large.
The central area of one had already turned quite white.
This didn’t seem like something that formed in just a day or two.
"How long has your mouth had these blisters?"
Li Jingsheng asked her.
"Hmm... maybe more than a month now! I’ve had them before, and after some time they got better, but this time they won’t heal and it’s really painful, so I thought of getting some medicine. Actually, I already bought some spray from the pharmacy, but it didn’t seem to work. So, I thought I’d ask a professional doctor to take a look."
The girl said truthfully.
