Xiaogao appeared very excited.
The thick notebook was filled with nas, phone numbers, and ages densely recorded.
"Hope so!"
Li Jingsheng could only pin his hopes on Xiaogao, hoping Xiaogao could salvage sothing.
Those elderly ladies and gentlen were lining up eagerly for free eggs, really enthusiastic about grabbing freebies.
The next morning, close to eight o’clock, Li Jingsheng got up, washed up, and then opened the clinic.
Yesterday, he was exhausted, feeling as if his bones were falling apart.
After resting the whole night, he still hadn’t fully recovered.
As he opened the shutter door, he was stunned.
Outside stood at least twenty or thirty elderly people, along with so young and middle-aged people.
Were these people here for the free eggs again?
Li Jingsheng panicked a bit, hurriedly explaining, "Everyone, everyone, our clinic’s first anniversary event has ended. Free eggs and toothpaste giveaways, please co back for these when we hold our next anniversary event."
A day of activities cost ten thousand yuan, almost making him cry.
If today were another day like that, Li Jingsheng was planning to buy surgical shadowless lights and electric coagulation knives with his savings.
Also, the salaries for Tang Ping and Xiaogao are not low; they need to be prepared in advance.
"We know! We got the eggs yesterday and thought your clinic’s service was great, so today we’re here to see if there’s any suitable tonic or health supplent."
An elderly lady said with a smile.
This elderly lady seed familiar. Upon closer inspection, wasn’t she the wife of the old man who was treated for abscess last ti?
However, the old man didn’t co.
The elderly lady ca with two ’girlfriends’.
"Welco, welco! Please co in!"
Li Jingsheng quickly invited the guests inside.
Having so community support and soone speaking for him felt great.
"Dr. Li, I heard you can set bones here. I fell yesterday, this leg feels awkward while walking. It hurts with every step, I suspect I might have twisted a bone, can you take a look?"
A middle-aged man in his fifties was supported by his wife and son on either side.
"Sure! Please lie down on the bed inside, and I’ll check you out first."
Li Jingsheng imdiately felt that yesterday’s anniversary event might have been useful.
At least when the doors opened, there were nearly thirty custors and patients outside, which was unprecedented since the small clinic opened.
Give and take.
Giving away 23 boxes of eggs could garner countless goodwill, which was very worthwhile.
It seems like holding an anniversary event every year to strengthen the clinic’s influence and increase the community’s goodwill towards Sunshine Clinic might be a good idea.
As for doing it every day, don’t even think about it.
Giving away a grain and you’ll reap gratitude, giving away a bushel will breed resentnt.
Give others free eggs every day, eventually, they will think it’s expected.
Doing it once a year might yield better results.
Li Jingsheng had so realizations.
"No need to rush, if you want to buy any health supplents or tonic, you can consult with . I will surely recomnd the most reliable and suitable dicine for you."
Xiaogao was attending to a group of dicine-buying custors.
Tang Ping, close to eight o’clock on the dot, finally walked into the clinic.
Watching her walk, her legs seed unstable, like she had done sothing bad last night.
Yesterday was a day of activity, likely exhausting her.
Li Jingsheng led the suspected hip joint sprain patient into the infusion room, let him lie flat, and first perford the Bone Touching Skill, checking the bone alignnt, quality, and injury condition.
After touching, he felt a bit unsure.
After all, his Bone Touching Skill was only at Master Level, enough for ordinary bone injuries.
But the human hip joint is located at the junction of the trunk and lower limbs, and the area has a thick layer of fat and well-developed muscles, making it difficult to feel the bone appearance.
"The injury feels quite serious. I can take an X-ray here, would you like to take a picture to confirm it?"
"How much does it cost?"
"Not expensive, 100 yuan. Our clinic is focused on being economical and affordable, definitely cheaper than a major hospital."
Li Jingsheng was working on the patient and family to understand.
"Alright then!"
The patient agreed.
He was the head of the family, and his agreent ant his wife and son wouldn’t oppose.
Li Jingsheng perford an X-ray.
Honestly, his equipnt wasn’t very advanced, and taking images of the wrist or ankle joint was clearer. Capturing the hip joint was relatively blurry.
The low clarity of the pictures made him feel less confident.
If the patient had a fracture that wasn’t detected, it wouldn’t be a joke.
Treating a hip joint at a big hospital often costs over a hundred thousand yuan. If the patient causes trouble, blaming him for botching the treatnt, he couldn’t bear that responsibility.
The thought of upgrading his Bone Touching Skill crossed his mind, but his health value balance wasn’t enough.
"Doctor, is it ready?"
Seeing him hesitant, the patient couldn’t help but frown and ask.
"Wait a mont, it seems so bones weren’t captured. Let help you adjust your position."
Li Jingsheng seized this opportunity to touch the bone again.
It could basically be determined there’s no fracture.
Then, out of caution, he carefully examined the patient’s hip joint under X-ray detection.
He scrutinized it carefully.
Once the funds were ample, he must figure out how to procure a decent X-ray detector.
In the future, conducting bone-setting techniques and surgical projects, it could co in handy.
This grandfather machine needs to find soone to take over and sell it.
He’s utterly fed up.
Every ti he takes an X-ray for a patient, he wishes he could use a magnifying glass to look closely with a flashlight.
"Okay. No obvious severe fractures have been detected for now, you wish to receive treatnt here, right?"
"Yes! My ho is nearby, it’s convenient to co over."
"Can you accept costs exceeding a thousand yuan?"
"Yes, yes!"
The patient readily agreed.
Seeing the patient agree so eagerly, Li Jingsheng felt a bit uneasy.
Based on experience, the patient likely had been checked elsewhere.
The treatnt cost there might be far higher than a thousand yuan, which made the patient eager to agree.
"You’ve seen other hospitals, right?"
Li Jingsheng was probing him for the truth.
The patient hesitated briefly, eventually giving a vague answer, "Sought soone, they said they’re not very skilled, heard your dical skills here are excellent, so thought of coming to check."
The patient’s eyes were sowhat evasive.
This was obviously not truthful!
Li Jingsheng, having honed his skills in the Old Street of South City, was a ’Master Level’ investigator and imdiately deduced from the patient’s words and expressions that they probably had been checked at another hospital.
If that’s the case, it requires even more caution.
No fracture detected by touch, no obvious fracture found on X-rays, if there’s a problem, where could it be?
Also, his place isn’t a charity institution, charges must be scientifically reasonable.
Pricing too low might an losing money to treat, or taking imnse risk for re tens of yuan, struggling to survive, which is simply unacceptable.
"You can put your pants back on and get up, did you have images taken at another hospital?"
Li Jingsheng continued to inquire.
Generally, it’s similar for any hospital visit. Doctors who know the patient has received treatnt at other dical institutions surely want to be inford.
At least, the pitfalls other doctors have fallen into can be completely avoided by the following doctors.
