Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 390 - 197: The Class Group Blows Up, Dust Settles

No matter which it is, none of them are good things.

Li Jingsheng had long seen through the cold and indifferent ways of the world and the thinness of human affection. When classmates who haven’t been in touch for a long time suddenly reach out, he mostly ignores them.

Curiously, he clicked on the class group chat to see what was going on.

Didn’t expect the group to be in an uproar.

Many classmates were discussing him.

An unassuming figure in the class suddenly became the hot topic.

What exactly happened overnight?

Even when Li Jingsheng was making headlines in newspapers and appearing on TV, it didn’t stir up such a buzz in the class group.

On one hand, not many classmates stayed in the city to work, and many of them don’t read Jiangli City’s newspapers or watch their TV stations. So, not many people knew. On the other hand, acting bravely has nothing to do with academics or job titles.

So everyone’s enthusiasm was not high.

And with Li Jingsheng struggling a bit, even fewer people were willing to bring him up.

After all, flattery should be directed at the right person.

Who would suck up to someone who’s worse off than themselves?

Li Jingsheng scrolled up because the lower conversation was just a bunch of disjointed chatter.

The person who tagged him turned out to be Zhang Chao.

@Li Jingsheng "Old classmate, last night’s diagnosis is indeed as you said. Please accept my friend request so we can chat more in the future."

So that’s what it’s about.

The diagnosis of that little girl yesterday wasn’t particularly difficult. As long as you notice jugular venous distention, check the venous pressure in the elbow, and have some knowledge of the Cardiovascular Medicine diagnosis, thoracic diagnosis, and Cardiac Surgery diagnostic level, you can pretty much diagnose it.

Of course, it’s easier said than done; in reality, not many people possess so much diagnostic skill.

However, doctors in Cardiac Surgery are somewhat familiar with Cardiovascular Medicine diagnostic knowledge; diagnostics between internal and surgery often overlap in many areas.

It’s only in treatment methods that there might be significant differences.

For instance, when surgery is needed on the tricuspid valve of the heart, internal medicine doctors may know the general method, but they’re clueless when it comes to performing surgery.

Getting an internal medicine doctor to perform surgery is ridiculous.

Two cuts could kill a person.

Although internal medicine has always looked down on surgery, claiming that surgeons are just people holding scalpels, there’s an element of jealousy too.

Not everyone can master the scalpel.

Internal medicine doctors are more adept in the areas of supportive treatment and medication treatment.

Zhang Chao was the super scholar of their class, undeniably the best of the best.

After joining the Cardiac Surgery department at Lijiang City People’s Hospital, he was even more loved by all classmates and teachers. Many classmates admired him, and some female classmates secretly had a crush on him.

Now, Zhang Chao suddenly praised a "rather bad" ordinary classmate’s correct diagnosis in the group, volunteering to add him as a friend for more ’communication’ later.

It sounds nice as communication, but to put it bluntly, isn’t it about asking Li Jingsheng for advice?

Adults don’t act without benefit.

If there’s no advantage, why would a top student willingly add a loser as a friend in the group?

Aren’t they afraid of humiliation?

But when the benefit is significant, face becomes secondary.

Zhang Chao took that step.

"Brother Chao, you’re at Lijiang City People’s Hospital. Li Jingsheng runs a clinic, doesn’t seem like there’s any overlap, right? What happened?"

"I’m not saying anything, just grabbing a small stool to sit in the front row and watch the drama!"

"Isn’t Li Jingsheng’s clinic about to... you know?"

"He called me to borrow money last time, but I’d just bought a house, so I was broke!"

...

Classmates chatted away.

Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news spreads like wildfire.

Li Jingsheng’s quest for borrowing money must’ve already spread throughout the classmate circle.

Classmates and teachers should all know.

The one who publicly mentioned Li Jingsheng asking to borrow money in the group is called Tang Zhenke.

He sat next to Li Jingsheng during their studies and even stayed in the same dorm.

His family background was average too, probably slightly better than Li Jingsheng’s.

The two were considered to have a fair relationship.

While Li Jingsheng was working at the First Hospital, when Tang Zhenke’s father had kidney stones, it was Li Jingsheng who helped find a urology doctor to take care.

Later, when Tang Zhenke got married, Li Jingsheng gave a thousand bucks as a wedding gift.

Afterwards, when Tang Zhenke’s wife’s brother, which is Tang Zhenke’s brother-in-law, got into an accident and the driver ran away—it was an unlicensed and unregistered black motorcycle—there wasn’t enough money for the needed surgery, Tang Zhenke found Li Jingsheng again for help...

Towards Tang Zhenke, he considers himself as treating like a brother.

When Li Jingsheng’s clinic went under, he wanted to borrow some money to get by.

He approached Tang Zhenke, but with a bunch of excuses, not a penny was borrowed. What angered Li Jingsheng even more was that soon after his call to Tang Zhenke, when he tried calling several other classmates he was relatively close to, they either didn’t pick up or couldn’t be reached.

Even a fool would figure that this bastard immediately told people about Li Jingsheng borrowing money.

Unsure about what exactly was said.

Definitely nothing good, for sure.

This piece of trash, when he was down and out, Li Jingsheng was his spring rain. But when Li Jingsheng faced difficulties, Tang Zhenke stabbed him in the back.

That’s when Li Jingsheng became completely disillusioned with this person.

Now, he actually publicly mentioned Li Jingsheng asking to borrow money from him in the class group.

Trying to use Li Jingsheng to highlight his high status for buying a house in the city?

Don’t be in a hurry, karma hasn’t arrived yet.

This disgraced scumbag, one day Li Jingsheng will make him kneel and apologize.

Tang Zhenke seems to work at a private hospital? Not too sure.
