Chapter 636 - 292: Promotion in Status, the Dean’s Conditions (Part 2)
Learning from Doctor Xu’s lesson, he never acknowledges a student as an apprentice from the start, nor does he immediately teach them the core bone setting techniques. Instead, he first tests their temperament, character, and talent, only formally accepting them when the time is right and the water flows naturally.
Due to Doctor Xu’s absence from work, plus the three-day-long competition, many cases had piled up.
Some patients would rather wait for three days for manual therapy.
Especially for some patients with underlying diseases or those whose physical condition does not allow for surgery, manual therapy is their only option.
At noon, he did not go to the orthopedic office.
After quickly finishing his meal, without time to rest, he returned to the manual bone-setting clinic to work.
When encountering suitable simple cases, he would consciously give Dr. Chen some hands-on opportunities.
By the time it was past seven in the afternoon, Li Jingsheng was both exhausted and starving, unable to hold on any longer.
"Teacher Li, how many patients are still outside?"
"This is already the last one!"
Li Li said with a smile.
"Luckily, you were smart and limited the number. How many patients have we treated in total today?"
Li Jingsheng praised her.
There were just too many orthopedic patients, coupled with the Second Hospital’s relentless promotion for revenue creation, which attracted patients from other cities and even other provinces to seek treatment.
Doctors and hospitals are always at odds on this point.
Hospitals and departments only care about revenue generation but never about the limits of doctors’ workloads.
Doctor Xu’s decision to limit daily patients to a fixed number might have been correct.
His own health was already compromised, and high work intensity could easily cause relapses.
Restricted daily treatment might seem heartless, but it’s actually to ensure the opportunity to treat more patients overall.
If he collapses from exhaustion, all patients would have to seek care elsewhere.
"Today, we saw a total of sixty-one patients, with fifty-four effectively treated."
Li Li checked the statistics before answering.
Effective treatment means the number of people who received treatment.
Among sixty-one patients, fifty-four were effectively treated. This effective treatment rate is astonishingly high.
Li Jingsheng has now surpassed his predecessors.
Under normal circumstances, at least one out of three orthopedic patients would need to be sent to the inpatient department for surgery.
This is for a high-level doctor like Doctor Xu.
If it’s Dr. Chen, who is less skilled, treating one out of every ten with manual therapy would already be considered good.
"Limit the numbers the day after tomorrow as well, still issuing sixty slots."
Li Jingsheng told her.
"No problem, I’ll call the information department to inform them."
She was quite happy to hear that Li Jingsheng would continue to limit the numbers.
She was just worried that Li Jingsheng might work overtime like a workaholic.
In the second manual bone-setting clinic, Li Jingsheng is the absolute leader.
If he doesn’t get off work, Li Li and Dr. Chen have to work overtime with him.
Tomorrow, he has to attend to his own clinic; the patients at the Second Hospital cannot be managed.
"Qinglan, have you been waiting long?"
Li Jingsheng walked out of the clinic and saw Ou Qinglan waiting for him with pre-packed food.
One little gesture made Li Jingsheng feel particularly warm.
Perhaps fearing the food would get cold if the wait was too long, she had kept it wrapped in her clothes.
This subtle love is more powerful in moving a man’s heart than fiery passion.
It’s enough to leave a lasting impression on a man.
"I didn’t have anything to do after work anyway. Director Hua initially planned to host a celebration banquet for you and the other contributors today. However, considering the number of patients you have, he said we’ll all gather for a dinner with the department tomorrow night. For the on-duty doctors and nurses, we’ll pack meals for them."
This kind of gathering rarely happens.
Usually, at most, only a few doctors and nurses with good relationships from the same department would have a meal together.
Or like that rogue Professor Wu, who organizes a plot to win over a female doctor or nurse.
It must be mentioned that people like Professor Wu are not unique in the hospital; there are several.
They are all men with some seniority, status, and a little power.
"Tomorrow night? Alright! I’ll be your guard of honor then!"
Li Jingsheng said with a laugh.
"Haha! Sure! But now, none of the male doctors in our department dare to make any moves on me. Professor Wu is particularly polite to me now, and Qin Fei, who used to pursue me, hasn’t bothered me anymore either."
Ou Qinglan said with a laugh.
She found having a strong boyfriend to be quite beneficial.
The male doctors no longer dared to make crude jokes around her.
Previously, Professor Wu loved telling dirty jokes in the operating room.
But he no longer dared to make fun of her.
Moreover, she wasn’t obstructed in her graduation process.
It’s probably because Li Jingsheng has become quite popular in the department and is gradually gaining fame and status in the hospital.
If something were to actually happen, the probability of Professor Wu getting into trouble would be high.
Seniority is important in hospitals, but profitability and benefits are emphasized even more.
Judging by revenue generation, importance, and growth potential, Professor Wu cannot compare to Li Jingsheng at all.
"Hurry and eat, or it’ll get cold. After eating, you’ll have to go to the dean’s office; Dean Fu wants to see you."
"Ah... it’s so late already. Hasn’t Dean Fu left yet? When did he mention it to you?"
Li Jingsheng was still thinking of buying some good tea with Ou Qinglan and presenting it to Dean Fu.
"While I was eating in the cafeteria! It was around six-something in the evening. Dean Fu specifically came over to tell me, just saying that you’re to visit his office after you finish work."
