Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 367 - 189: Good News One After Another, Special Treatment_2

"Have you found a candidate for the in-house doctor position?"

A man in his late thirties walked in.

Standing at about 1.6 meters, he was considered quite short.

He had a common face but spoke with an arrogant tone and gaze.

"No, we haven’t found a suitable candidate yet! Are you interested in applying?"

Li Jingsheng hurried to greet him.

The job advertisement had been up for several days with no response.

He was contemplating whether to place a small ad in the newspaper.

"Yes, I’m here to apply. How much is the monthly salary here?"

The man casually glanced around the clinic, taking a second look at the banners on the wall.

He barely glanced at the two beauties, Tang Ping and Siying.

"That depends on your skills. The basic salary is around four thousand, with performance bonuses on top. If you work well, monthly earnings won’t be less than six thousand."

Li Jingsheng responded conservatively.

Many big companies have a typical strategy in recruitment ads, stating a salary range of 6K-30K to attract talent. In reality, they offer 6K.

If you want to earn 30K, no problem, you need to have the capability.

"Six thousand a month is a bit low! I used to work as an attending physician in a big hospital, then quit. Having me at your small clinic would naturally bring in a part of the clientele. And I see that the medical staff at your clinic are all quite young. I suppose they are resident doctors or come from less conventional paths, right? Having an attending physician would greatly help with the clinic’s reputation and credibility."

The man spoke with a lot of confidence.

He almost showed disdain toward the clinic’s medical staff.

Li Jingsheng’s eyes slightly narrowed, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face, "May I ask which big hospital you worked at? Also, which medical field are you specialized in?"

You wonder how this guy managed to live until his late thirties.

Doesn’t he know that arrogance brings trouble, just like the sky brings rain?

To be frank, given Li Jingsheng’s current skill level, even an attending physician in their fifties or sixties might not be this confident in front of him.

If Li Jingsheng weren’t genuinely skilled, could Lian Tao discuss cases with him?

Would Professor Wu from the Second Hospital invite him to perform surgeries?

Could Director Mu from Pulmonary Medicine recruit him?

Despite all this, Li Jingsheng never acted arrogant in front of anyone.

This is a sign of cultivation, a mark of maturity.

This gentleman’s self-assurance is astonishing; let’s hope he’s not just a giant in speech, but a dwarf in action.

"I worked in the Pulmonary Medicine Department at Lijiang Medical University Affiliated Hospital. I have also served as a general practitioner for nearly three years, with the title of attending physician. As for my skills, you might be too young to test them out."

This person doesn’t seem to realize whether he is excessively arrogant or just has a low EQ.

If he’s seriously planning to apply for a job here, then Li Jingsheng would be his future boss.

Saying such disparaging things about the boss in front of the boss himself, it’s no wonder he no longer works at Lijiang Medical University Affiliated Hospital.

Having skills is one thing.

Not knowing how to work with colleagues, being excessively arrogant, stubbornly self-opinionated, always thinking the world revolves around him, is that even possible?

To put it nicely, it’s called a lack of sociability; to put it harshly, it’s foolishness.

"Allow me to ask, did the hospital ever issue you an appointment letter for the attending position?"

Li Jingsheng had actually already guessed it.

This person emphasized his title as an attending physician, but at the age of thirty-seven or thirty-eight, shouldn’t he have advanced to a senior attending physician by now?

During a job interview, people usually highlight strengths and avoid weaknesses; nobody is foolish enough to point out their own flaws.

Therefore, this person is likely another "unappreciated talent" hard-luck story.

"No, our affiliated hospital is very strong, with abundant talent. You have to wait in line for an attending position, and later I resigned for personal reasons, so I didn’t get the appointment letter. But I’ve already passed the exams for the attending physician title."

His face turned slightly red.

Fortunately, having reached this age, he’s been beaten by society many times, so he has grown a thick skin by now.

"Without the attending appointment letter, that means you’ve been doing the work of a resident physician. Of course, I definitely believe you are a skilled person. How about this? If you’re willing, come over the day after tomorrow for a trial. The salary terms are as discussed, with a basic salary of four thousand, and additional performance-based bonuses."

Li Jingsheng said to the man.

These days it’s genuinely difficult to recruit a certified doctor; everyone is flocking to hospitals. Who wants to stay in a clinic?

If this person is just a little low in EQ, a bit arrogant, that’s okay; Li Jingsheng can tolerate that.

The fact that he didn’t receive the attending appointment is essentially equivalent to a resident physician.

Although he didn’t directly point it out, he touched upon it.

That was sufficient.

"I’ll think about it! Honestly, it’s a bit beneath me, an attending physician from a big hospital, to work in a small clinic, and the salary is quite low. It’s really hard to accept."

The man wanted a higher salary.

"Okay, think about it. Let’s leave it at that for now."

Li Jingsheng got up to see him out.

The man nodded and walked over to the counter to examine the medicines inside.

"Are you an intern doctor?"

The man asked Xiaogao, who was moving medicines into the storage room.

Receiving goods was now Xiaogao’s responsibility, showing that Li Jingsheng’s trust in him had grown.

"Yes!"

Xiaogao responded.

The man didn’t leave but continued to ask, "I know some people at Lijiang Medical University Affiliated Hospital. If you want to apply there as a resident in the future, perhaps I could help put in a word."

He was trying to paint a picture, attempting to familiarize himself with Xiaogao.
