Chapter 407: Chapter 202: This Illness Got Delayed, Taking Care of Old Friends_3

"It’s been two weeks, right? At the time I was staying at school, and felt a bit feverish. I thought it was a cold, so I didn’t pay much attention."

She’s been burning up like this, and it’s been two weeks.

She must be feeling extremely fatigued.

Because fever excessively consumes the energy stored in cells.

Li Jingsheng heard this and knew he didn’t need to continue examining.

This illness is definitely not something his small clinic can handle.

"This definitely isn’t just a simple mouth ulcer. You should quickly take her to a large hospital for further examination. The child has been sick for almost two months, it would be terrible to delay the illness! Sigh, I look at this young girl and feel so anxious for her."

Li Jingsheng, though not yet married, has no children.

But he knows deeply how difficult it is to raise a child.

From the moment people start preparing to conceive, parents begin to have expectations and carefully nurture.

Then, when the baby arrives in this new world, feeding, changing diapers, even washing the baby if they soil themselves... then teaching them to turn over, crawl, stand, and walk.

Every step of the child’s growth is filled with the parents’ love.

This young girl is sixteen or seventeen years old; in another year or two she will be an adult. And she’s so outstanding, her academic performance is so good.

Her parents must be proud of her.

Their expectations must be high.

Now, if she has a serious illness, one that may even be incurable, for the family, it would be a bolt from the blue, a top-level disaster.

"Dr. Li, your medical skills are so brilliant. Can’t my niece’s illness be treated here?"

The aunt asked Li Jingsheng.

"Quickly take the child to a large hospital! I can’t treat it, and don’t dare to try, afraid of harming this young girl. You must take her to a large hospital for examination, and it’s best to have a pathological biopsy, just in case it’s a tumor or something."

Li Jingsheng gently advised the girl’s aunt.

"Tumor? It’s not that serious, right? I’ll take her to the People’s Hospital immediately."

The aunt heard the word tumor, being from the city, immediately understood it might be cancer.

Seeing Dr. Li’s serious and concerned expression, this tumor is probably not a good thing.

She took the young girl to the door and then came back.

"Dr. Li, which hospital do you think is better for this illness? I trust you particularly, and ask you to recommend a hospital that’s skilled in treating this kind of illness."

"The People’s Hospital is fine!"

Li Jingsheng thought the People’s Hospital could completely handle diagnosing the nature of this lesion.

Watching the aunt leave with the young girl, Li Jingsheng sighed slightly.

He most fears encountering this kind of patient.

It’s not about fearing trouble, but it’s heart-wrenching to see the cruelest moment.

When a doctor diagnoses that a patient has a bad illness, it’s basically like sentencing that patient to death.

Just watching helplessly, yet powerless.

The mood is imaginable.

He then continued to diagnose other patients.

The later patients, seeing this situation, instead trusted Li Jingsheng even more.

...

Kept busy until past five in the afternoon, Li Jingsheng finally finished dealing with all the patients.

"Dr. Wang, cover for me here for a while, I have something to do. If you encounter a case you can’t be sure about, call me, I’ll come right away."

Li Jingsheng stood up, took off his work clothes, and walked outside.

The small courtyard was successfully rented yesterday, and at noon he called a guerilla team to clean it up.

Except for some trash and unwanted mats, clothes, and tables, there was nothing else on the second floor.

The sub-landlord had already disposed of the beds.

Don’t know if it was to a furniture recycling company or sold to someone else.

The items in the first-floor room were all taken away by car before yesterday morning.

Probably sold cheaply in a bundle.

For state-owned enterprises, dealing with such historical residual issues is often done swiftly.

Li Jingsheng came to the small courtyard and saw the clutter had been mostly cleared.

"Dr. Li, are you satisfied with the work we’ve done?"

The speaker was none other than Master Shun, who partnered with Master Liu.

Li Jingsheng decided it was more reassuring to contract the work to these two people.

After all, they were acquaintances.

Every time they got hurt, they would come to Li Jingsheng for treatment; now that there’s work, it’s only right to help them out a bit.

"Pretty good!"

Li Jingsheng looked around both the first and second floors, and all the clutter was cleaned up nicely.

Three tables can be kept for use as office tables later on, completely fine.

Currently, they are stacked in the largest room on the second floor.

"Dr. Li, have a cigarette!"

Master Shun smiled widely and took out a pack of cigarettes, offering one to Li Jingsheng.

"Thanks, I don’t smoke."

Li Jingsheng waved his hand.

"You see, we’re old acquaintances now. You rented such large two buildings, so obviously you’ll need a renovation. Why not give the job to me and Old Liu? You can trust us, we’ll complete it as you request."

Master Shun usually takes the lead when he and Master Liu partner up for jobs.

Master Liu is too straightforward, only fit for manual labor.

"As for the renovation, I won’t hide it from you, a major pharmaceutical company might do it for free. For now, I plan to do some simple rough renovations. Help me open a door here, set up a sign, take down the old iron door, and seal it with bricks. As long as the quote is a market price, it’s fine with me, it’d be the same if I hired others."

Li Jingsheng estimates moving three to four days in advance, leaving a notice outside, so patients and customers won’t be unable to find the new location of Sunshine Clinic.

Given the landlord’s wife’s personality, she will definitely rent it out once the lease expires.

By then, if Li Jingsheng wants to put up a notice, likely, she won’t agree.

He has about eleven days left for renovation time.

Not particularly ample, but simple renovation is completely doable.

Just painting the walls white is enough.

Back when he rented the storefront, it was the same; saving on renovations wherever possible.

To do a fine renovation, sure need to consider the free renovation quota given by Best Medicine.

Could save tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands.

If in the past, he wouldn’t earn tens of thousands in a year.

But this matter is somewhat troublesome.

The timing doesn’t work out, just when switching to a new storefront.

On the other hand, it’s fortunate to know the landlord’s wife wants to reclaim the storefront.

Otherwise, after newly renovating, without much business time, if the landlord suddenly informs that the storefront will be reclaimed, that would be crying without a place to cry.

Though Master Shun couldn’t secure all of the work, he got a small job and was quite happy.

For a guerilla team like theirs, having work to do makes the day a happy one.

"Can you do whitewashing and floor tiling?"

"Those are the skills Old Liu and I are best at!"

Master Shun’s words are a bit slick, and Li Jingsheng couldn’t tell if he should believe it.
