Chapter 302 - 167: Not a Mere Wu Underling, New Identity Acquired_3
The hospital is offering him such generous terms, surely it’s not just to have him here for fun.
Real work needs to be done.
"Wow, Dr. Li looks so handsome today! Welcome to officially joining our Second Hospital’s Orthopedic Outpatient Department."
Dr. Chen, seeing Li Jingsheng in a brand new uniform and wearing a name badge, couldn’t help but brighten up.
Even Nurse Li Li was looking at him with an unusual expression.
"Does Dr. Li have a girlfriend?"
Li Li asked with a smile.
Of course, it was mostly in jest.
"Still single, do you want to introduce me to someone?"
Li Jingsheng was also in a great mood.
With his current status, his position in the Old Street of South City had become thrice as solid.
"Can I introduce myself to you?"
"Haha, just joking."
Li Jingsheng has always been quite picky when it comes to finding a girlfriend.
Li Li, he really didn’t fancy much.
Compared to Ou Qinglan, whether in figure, looks, or knowledge, Li Li was lacking too much.
"Doctor Xu is here!"
Dr. Chen quietly reminded the two.
Li Jingsheng turned to look, only to see Doctor Xu walk in expressionless.
"Teacher!"
Li Jingsheng quickly greeted respectfully.
His smooth entry into the Second Hospital was aided significantly by Doctor Xu behind the scenes.
Without Doctor Xu playing along in the act, getting the Second Hospital to agree to his conditions would have been really difficult.
"Is your onboarding done?"
"Completed."
"Then don’t just stand there, get ready to work! Li Li, call the number."
Doctor Xu directly tasked him with starting bone setting for the patients.
A man in his thirties was escorted in by his family.
The man’s neck was wrapped in white gauze.
He seemed to be wearing a neck brace.
"Where are you hurt?"
Li Jingsheng officially started receiving ’clients’.
"My son got hit by a hollow iron pipe this thick at this spot under his chin while working at school."
The family pointed to the left jaw area.
"At the time, he felt a bit dizzy and nauseous, then went to the nearby hospital to check. They said it was a soft tissue injury in the neck. But two days have passed, and not only didn’t it improve, but symptoms like soreness, numbness, swell and pain in the right hand appeared, making it difficult to get up and needing support to walk. So we went to the People’s Hospital for another check-up, where they said two sections of his cervical spine had dislocated. We got really scared..."
The couple supporting the man looked close to sixty, with rough hands covered in wrinkles.
Both dressed rather simply.
Since their skin was deeply tanned, Li Jingsheng sensed they usually do laborious work.
Like being laborers at a construction site or sanitation workers sweeping the streets.
In a poor family, without the ability to afford better education for their children, it’s hard to escape a fate of generational poverty.
The couple works in manual labor, their son doing jobs like carrying bricks, one can imagine if such a family could be affluent?
This man being in his thirties and injured so severely, yet only accompanied by his parents to the hospital.
Neither a spouse nor children were seen.
Very likely, like Li Jingsheng, he is still single.
In this era of more men than women, for a poor single young man to find a wife is truly not easy.
"You checked at the People’s Hospital, why not treat it there?"
Li Jingsheng took the patient’s films to examine.
"We were planning to treat it there, a kind-hearted doctor quietly told us to try the manual reposition clinic here first. If manual repositioning doesn’t work here, we can go back for treatment as well. They said it requires surgery and hospitalization at the People’s Hospital, while here being cheaper and recovering faster."
The family member explained.
Most doctors in this world are kind-hearted.
Seeing these struggling patients, they often try in every way possible to reduce their burden.
Guiding them towards the best treatment.
After looking at the films, Li Jingsheng handed them to Doctor Xu.
"Teacher, the cervical spine procedure has rather high risk."
This basically meant he wanted Doctor Xu to handle the treatment.
