The young man barely stopped himself from saying, "Don’t think you black doctors at this clinic can fool into treating nonexistent illnesses."
Other patients and their family mbers in the waiting area were watching this unfold.
Even a few custors buying dicine looked over.
Many people were not familiar with the Sunshine Clinic, and at this mont, their gazes at Li Jingsheng carried skepticism.
They wanted to see how Li Jingsheng would try to convince this young man.
"I can’t treat your illness here, and personally, I feel it’s not just a cold. I suggest you imdiately contact your family and go to a major hospital for a kidney function test. Also, stop drinking Sprite like it’s water; this behavior severely harms the kidneys. Staying up late also harms the kidneys. You’re still so young; you mustn’t delay. Trust , quickly contact your family and get checked at a major hospital."
Li Jingsheng said, with a serious expression.
It’s okay for the patient to doubt or even attack him.
But as a doctor, he must let the patient understand the seriousness of the illness.
This young man is still so young; it would be a sha if the illness were delayed.
Doctors cannot make any decisions for patients; they can only give advice.
"Is it really that serious? You’re not trying to scare , are you?"
The young man obviously still didn’t quite believe it.
"Why would I scare you? Go to a major hospital for a check-up, and please stop drinking carbonated beverages like they’re water."
Li Jingsheng almost laughed in exasperation.
"Young man, trust Dr. Li. Dr. Li is not only skilled but also has excellent dical ethics; he won’t harm you."
The wife of the elderly man treating his abscess spoke up for Li Jingsheng.
So patients simply don’t understand Li Jingsheng’s character and thus misinterpret his good intentions.
"Dr. Li is doing this for your own good! If he really wanted to rip you off, why would he tell you to go to a major hospital?"
"Listening to the doctor is the right choice."
Others also urged the young man.
Eventually, the young man agreed.
"Alright then! I’ll go to the hospital for a check-up first, and I’ll call my parents if there’s an issue."
Like most young people working hard outside, he only reports good news to his parents, not bad.
He doesn’t want his parents to worry unless it’s sothing major.
Li Jingsheng felt relieved seeing the young man listen to advice.
But kidney failure is like a Pandora’s box; once opened, it can’t be stopped.
Based on Li Jingsheng’s professional judgnt, this young man’s kidney failure had progressed at least to stage two, perhaps even worse. In the late stage, he would likely need dialysis to stay alive.
Getting a kidney transplant is hard; one, it’s difficult to wait for a donor, and two, the exorbitant costs make many families shy away.
Even if the transplant is successful, lifelong anti-rejection dication is still necessary.
It’s truly lantable that this young man has developed kidney failure at such a young age.
On the contrary, the ’glamorous man’ bothering Tang Ping may have symptoms of kidney deficiency, but that’s not a major issue.
Most middle-aged n have kidney deficiency problems; it’s just a matter of degree.
Kidney deficiency is not the sa as kidney failure; the two are completely different illnesses.
With two patients back-to-back not having simple ailnts, Li Jingsheng remained extrely cautious.
Good business is a positive thing, but it also increases the crisis.
Among the patients he sees, any could potentially shock him.
Fortunately, the next few patients weren’t difficult cases; the most severe had a bad case of tonsillitis, for which he directly prescribed dication and had Tang Ping administer an IV.
Not half an hour later, Doctor Xu rushed in.
"Teacher! You’re here!"
Li Jingsheng was very pleased to see Doctor Xu arrive, and it gave him a sense of confidence.
"Where is that patient?"
"This gentleman."
Li Jingsheng introduced the two.
"Let see the X-ray!"
Doctor Xu asked for the X-ray and examined it, with his facial muscles twitching, he silently returned the film to the family mber.
The clarity of this X-ray was likely the worst he had seen.
But he understood the difficulties Li Jingsheng faced.
For a small clinic, having X-ray equipnt was already quite good.
Even many profitable dental clinics only set up X-ray equipnt after making money, and before then, extractions were done blind.
"You might need to take off the outer pants for an exam."
Doctor Xu was ready to use the Bone Touching Skill.
When mastered, the Bone Touching Skill can even be more accurate than a CT scan.
Before his teacher perford the Bone Touching Skill, Li Jingsheng prepared to explain the situation. There are many things he couldn’t say in front of the family and patient.
He had to create an opportunity for himself.
"There’s a female patient receiving an IV in the infusion room, which may not be convenient, Teacher. How about you co with to see if the bed in the treatnt room can be used?"
Li Jingsheng said to Doctor Xu.
Doctor Xu might be quirky, but that doesn’t an he’s not intelligent.
He almost instantly grasped Li Jingsheng’s real intention.
The two entered the treatnt room.
"Say what you need to!"
Doctor Xu took the initiative to speak.
"This patient said he fell, leading to difficulty walking. When I did a Bone Touch test, there was indeed so misalignnt in the hip joint, but I suspect he may have a major problem he’s not revealing. Earlier, I inadvertently noticed the traces of a recent IV on his left hand. I’m worried about falling into a trap, but also fearful of being overly paranoid, so I thought to invite you over to help assess. If you’re unsure, I would rather be safe than sorry and send him away."
Li Jingsheng quickly outlined the points of suspicion.
He must be responsible for the entire clinic; if a risk is too high and uncontrollable, he can’t take the gamble.
"Understood!"
Doctor Xu nodded and motioned to the patient.
"Co on over; the bed here can be used."
The family mber helped the patient slowly walk into the treatnt room.
Doctor Xu instructed the patient to lie on the bed and remove his outer pants, then began using the Bone Touching Skill.
In terms of proficiency, Doctor Xu was certainly much stronger than Li Jingsheng.
Doctor Xu’s expression was serious as he perford the Bone Touching Skill.
The family mber observed from the side.
Li Jingsheng was also there, learning.
Though his Bone Touching Skill had reached the Master Level, there was much room for improvent. Many advanced techniques still required him to comprehend on his own.
"Lie on your left side."
Doctor Xu seed to have a discovery, directing the patient to lie on his left side, while assisting from the side.
"You didn’t injure your right knee in the fall, did you?"
"No. I just landed on my butt, sitting on the ground. It wasn’t high, just the height of a step."
In front of Doctor Xu, the patient was fairly honest.
Doctors of advanced age surprisingly have the advantage of naturally suppressing patients’ inclination to lie.
