Now reading: Chapter 45: Daily Income Exceeds Ten Thousand from Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic, a Fantasy novel by Fisherman by the River.

He looked at the last item, which was also the most important - Life Points.

Originally, after upgrading the General Surgery diagnostic skills, he only had 51 points left.

At this mont, he was shocked to find that the Life Points had actually increased to 83.

This ant a total increase of 32 points.

At most, he had only received two patients!

How did the Life Points increase so much?

On average, one patient brought 16 Life Points, which was simply beyond imagination.

Under normal circumstances, successfully treating a patient would only earn 1 Life Point. If you received a positive review from a patient, you could earn an additional 10 Life Points.

That’s right, he successfully found the cause of the old man’s illness, removed it, then returned the money the old lady gave, earning the favor of the two elders.

Presumably, this added 10 Life Points.

But the remaining 22 Life Points still far exceed the normal gains! Could it be because of the successful removal of the old man’s lesion that an additional 10 Life Points were rewarded?

It’s possible.

Li Jingsheng felt a headache coming on, figuring out how Life Points are obtained is more ntally taxing than diagnosing a high-difficulty case.

Forget it, as he collects more over ti, he will naturally understand its acquisition rules.

For now, it’s better to focus on clinic managent, learning and upgrading new dical skills, and improving doctor levels.

The primary task is to upgrade the doctor levels, otherwise, the upgrade cap for various dical skills is stuck at the proficiency level, which is truly frustrating.

Whether it’s dicinal skills or diagnostic skills, rely being proficient is not enough to form an absolute advantage.

If he can level up once more, not only in this street, but in this entire residential area, he can basically be invincible.

Other than the super giant, the second hospital, which should not be provoked, he might even stand on equal footing with or defeat the community health service centers.

However, dealing with officials openly is a path to self-destruction.

If his small clinic achieves results then, he will probably need to find a backer or enhance his social standing.

...

In the afternoon, he intermittently treated several ordinary patients with colds, fevers, constipation, indigestion, and sold so supplents and two bottles of sleep aids.

Overall, compared to yesterday, the clinic’s business has already shown significant improvent.

In the evening, after closing the store, Li Jingsheng counted the day’s revenue, totaling 18,731.5 yuan. This is a turnover he wouldn’t have dared to dream of since opening the clinic.

Amid the joy, he quickly cald down and did not beco complacent.

It is still nowhere near the mont when the clouds clear and the sun shines through.

There are still many formidable foes around, and the small clinic’s competitiveness, both in software and hardware, is lacking.

While the turnover looks high, most of it is the gross inco from selling supplents, health products, and equipnt.

He sold two blood glucose ters today, leaving one remaining.

These were all stocked when the clinic opened, and none had ever been sold before. Unexpectedly, he managed to sell two today.

The online quote is around 400, he sells for 380, the profit is not much, only about 50 of net profit.

The real profit lies in surgeries and health products.

For the old man’s fistula removal surgery, the initial charge was 2000 yuan. He charged a uniform fee of 100 yuan per session for X-rays and B ultrasound, regardless of which was taken.

Large hospitals usually charge for X-rays by position.

But a small clinic cannot operate this way.

If you charge one patient 100 yuan for an X-ray, and another only 50 yuan for a frontal limb scan, people will think you are overcharging.

No matter how you explain it, it’s useless.

Because small clinics inherently give off an impression of unclear charges and being rip-offs.

So a uniform fee of 100 yuan is more suitable for small clinics.

This is one of the experiences Li Jingsheng has concluded after over nine months of running the clinic.

He charged the old man 200 yuan for both the B ultrasound and X-rays, after deducting a small amount for utility and depreciation of equipnt, the rest was pure profit.

Conducting tests is essentially a high-return business, as long as the volu is sufficient, taking ten images a day yields a 1000 gross inco.

The profit is at least seven or eight hundred yuan.

The remaining 1800 yuan includes surgery fees, dication costs, and simple care.

The bulk of it is the surgery fee, around 1000 yuan.

The surgery used up quite a bit of consumables, and various instrunts needed to be sterilized before reuse, so what’s left is mainly labor costs and a trivial amount for electricity.

The profit should exceed eight hundred yuan.

Disposable sterile protective clothing, rubber gloves, masks, caps are not expensive.

What surgery profits from is the technical skills.

The remaining 800 yuan is needed to administer IV drips to the patient for three days, 200 yuan per day.

It needs to be clarified that not every IV drip costs 80 yuan each ti. Prices are also determined based on the patient’s condition and dication used.

The total infusion cost for three days is 600 yuan, with a cost at least over 270 yuan.

So this is not as profitably imagined.

The remaining 200 yuan, so care fees will be charged, including post-operative suture removal and examination fees for each IV session, etc.

Finally, a symbolic refund of thirty to forty yuan may be given to the patient.

From this case, it can be seen that treating a surgical patient like this brings in a net profit of over 1200 yuan. It can also drive the clinic’s dication and imaging services.

No wonder hospitals with so scale will strongly develop surgical departnts.

This cake is indeed very tempting.

Li Jingsheng has a clear position for the clinic, which is to perform small surgeries.

For high-difficulty and risky surgeries, the clinic does not have the conditions overtake them, the cost of infrastructural setup is frighteningly high. Even if the surgical team were assembled, just getting approval from the competent authorities is not sothing an ordinary small boss like him, without background, could handle.

Therefore, he has designated the clinic only to carry out first-level small surgeries, and once the skill level improves, the team gets stronger, and the hardware facilities are complete, attempts can be made to carry out secondary surgeries.

The secondary surgery is where the ceiling is.

Beyond that, at that ti, the Sunshine Clinic would probably no longer be in scale as a clinic, but beco a renowned Sunshine Hospital in the local area.

Turning to another major profit area, health products.

Includes various health equipnt, household asuring instrunts, and health dicinal materials and products for tonifying qi, nourishing blood, nourishing yin, nourishing yang, and liver protection.

Many profits are over 200%.

The highest can reach 1000%.

Previously, because the small clinic had no fa or reputation, let alone health products, even regular dicines were hard to sell.

Today’s health products sales total exceeded ten thousand yuan.

Total profit should not be less than six thousand yuan.

After deducting Tang Ping’s sales commission, the profit was at least around 5700 yuan.

"I need to quickly restock."

Li Jingsheng organized the money and took a trip to the bank’s self-service deposit machine to deposit the cash into the card.

In fact, now with convenient mobile paynts, he doesn’t receive much cash.

But there was only a little living expense left in his card, even this over four thousand in cash was a significant amount.

After so calculations, this restocking will need at least about 20,000 yuan.

After depositing it, it basically amounted to enough.

The small clinic does not have many supply channels, either through pharmaceutical companies or drug representatives, or so shady suppliers and manufacturers.

If the clinic is very small and business is not good, it’s almost impossible to negotiate with these shady manufacturers. They wouldn’t even bother dealing with you.

Finding a qualified pharmaceutical company, or even directly working with the pharmaceutical companies behind major chain pharmacies, are both good choices.

The downside is that, with poor business, you’re still left out in the cold, they will not only raise prices during supply but also impose various domineering terms. For example, not providing dicine recovery services, replenishnts require advance cash paynt, and then wait a period before you can go take the goods.

If they encounter so in-demand drugs, they will first supply their own pharmacies, then go to the cooperated pharmacies and clinics with good business.

Finally, it’s Li Jingsheng’s small clinic with poor business that gets leftovers.

But typically, small clinics and pharmacies can only pinch their noses and accept the mistreatnt.

Li Jingsheng found a pharmaceutical company.

The low entry threshold and their ability to provide the corresponding qualifications necessary for approval are conditions his small clinic simply cannot refuse.
