Chapter 403: Chapter 201: Is This Woman an Officer? Health Is More Important Than Making Money (Part 2)

Considering the time, it’s been a while since Qiu Shaofeng made contact.

Still no movement.

This woman is indeed quite suspicious.

However, she might have other motives. After all, the lease of the Sunshine Clinic is about to expire, and the landlord’s sudden decision to reclaim it is rather odd.

No rent increase, just a direct reclaim, the purpose is quite clear.

Either for personal use or some other need.

For instance, intending to sell the property.

This woman is around forty years old, and judging by her attire and demeanor, her financial situation shouldn’t be bad.

It’s likely she could spend money to invest in buying the property.

"Do you usually spend a long time sitting in the office at work?"

Li Jingsheng, regardless of who the visitor might be, would handle the situation carefully.

"Yes, I have to sit in front of the computer for extended periods. Sometimes, if working overtime, it can exceed twelve hours."

Her accent didn’t sound local.

Her Mandarin was very standard, making it hard to discern where she was from.

Moreover, she spoke calmly, giving the impression that she was elegant, poised, and dignified.

"Sitting for that long each day, you should protest to your boss; it’s affecting employees’ health! Of course, if the overtime pay is generous, forget I said anything. But you could stand up and move around every two hours or so."

Li Jingsheng said to her with a smile.

"Haha, I wouldn’t dare mention this to my boss. With the competition so fierce now, I’m worried he might fire me."

The woman laughed at Li Jingsheng’s remarks.

Her laughter made the conversation more relaxed.

After chatting for a while, Li Jingsheng measured her blood pressure, heart rate, and asked about some specific conditions.

She mentioned a problem of recently feeling chest tightness and lack of appetite.

She would also suddenly cough, produce phlegm, and experience severe wheezing.

However, she could quickly recover.

She said she went to a big hospital for a check-up but nothing was found.

Hearing this, Li Jingsheng thought to himself, pulmonary and cardiology diagnostics are his strengths!

He could try diagnosing this woman.

"May I check your heart and lung sounds?"

"Sure, no problem."

She gladly agreed.

Li Jingsheng listened to her heart and lung sounds and could hear a slight crackling sound in her lungs. And it was present in both lungs.

The heart sounds seemed weaker than those of a normal person.

But no abnormal sounds were heard in any valves of the heart.

"Would it be convenient to show me the examination records from the big hospital?"

Li Jingsheng treated her condition with the professionalism a doctor should have.

Such sudden coughing, phlegm production, and severe wheezing — if nothing happens, it’s fine, but if it does, it could be fatal.

When Li Jingsheng was still in school, he interned with his mentor at the First Hospital.

There was an anesthesiologist, a very young man. He was kind and guided Li Jingsheng on many hospital rules and emergency procedures.

That anesthesiologist experienced sudden chest coughs, bringing out white phlegm with wheezing.

Nobody took it seriously at the time.

Even the anesthesiologist himself didn’t take it seriously.

He just mentioned that the workload might have been high recently, with continuous overtime, leading to fatigue.

About less than a week later, Li Jingsheng heard from colleagues discussing that the anesthesiologist collapsed suddenly in the hospital elevator on his way home after work.

Despite rescue efforts, they couldn’t save him.

This should surely be considered a work injury!

The anesthesiologist had a disabled father at home. The son died in the hospital, leaving the elderly man tearfully seeking justice from the hospital.

It was said that the hospital was very cold in handling the situation, compensating with some money.

But there was prolonged dispute over work injury recognition.

Because the anesthesiologist had changed out of his scrubs into his own clothes, ready to leave work, but hadn’t exited the hospital yet.

The hospital argued he was already off duty, and the incident didn’t occur during work hours.

Since that event, whenever Li Jingsheng worked overtime, he developed a habit. No matter where he went, he wouldn’t change out of his scrubs.

Even when napping, he would wear the hospital uniform.

Out of fear that, should something sudden happen to him like it did to the anesthesiologist, the hospital wouldn’t recognize it as a work injury.

Now, with this woman showing similar symptoms, Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but be very vigilant.

"I didn’t bring the examination records with me! How about this, can I bring them to you tomorrow?"

The female patient looked troubled.

"That’s fine! No problem at all."

Li Jingsheng readily agreed.

She got up to leave. As she was leaving, she bought a box of grape seed supplements from Xiaogao.

Unknowingly, it was already approaching noon.

Regarding the woman’s identity, Li Jingsheng was also uncertain. Saying she wasn’t a customer, yet she clearly bought a box of health supplements when leaving.

Moreover, she sought Li Jingsheng for a consultation, and indeed had some health issues.

Weak heart sounds, both lungs exhibiting crackling sounds, along with the symptoms she described, made Li Jingsheng very concerned.

Diseases are ruthless; when they come, they don’t give patients any preparation time, they can easily take a life.

"Dr. Wang, let’s have a chat!"

Li Jingsheng called him over to the consultation desk.

"Okay!"

Wang Zongxiao walked over like a student, then respectfully sat on the patient’s chair.

This was unlike his previous demeanor!

"Can you accept a base salary of four thousand?"

"No problem, no problem at all. Last time, I was superficial, thinking clinics were poorly managed with few patients. Here, you have more patients than some hospitals."
