Chapter 635 - 292: Status Elevated, the Director’s Terms
Dean Fu also smiled gently at Li Jingsheng, gesturing him to step up to the podium.
Soon, a bus slowly stopped at the hospital entrance.
The participants returning from the competition got off the bus under the leadership of Vice Dean Jin, and then walked into the hospital as the band played music.
On both sides, people held up banners welcoming the warriors back from the expedition! "White-clothed heroes, you are the most beautiful" and other welcome signs.
Vice Dean Jin shook hands warmly with Dean Fu, then everyone proceeded to the podium.
"Xiaoli, have you taken care of the clinic’s issues?"
Dean Jin’s way of addressing him had also changed.
Calling him Xiaoli actually felt more intimate than calling him Dr. Li.
"Thank you for your concern, it’s all taken care of. A group of professional medical agitators was all arrested."
Li Jingsheng felt it was better to report the specific reasons, to appear more straightforward.
"So they were professional agitators, it’s good they were caught! I hate those people the most! But the fact that your clinic was targeted by professional agitators means your clinic is doing quite well. They’re quite picky, if it’s not a juicy piece of meat, it wouldn’t catch their eye!"
Vice Dean Jin remarked humorously.
"Haha, then I should feel honored!"
Li Jingsheng responded with a smile.
"This is not just any honor, professional agitators are very specialized, they conduct background checks on medical institutions before making a move. They don’t pick tough targets, small hospitals with low revenue, and as for clinics, only outstanding ones would be targeted by them."
Director Mu chimed in.
The group was chatting when it was time to start taking photos.
Everyone stood in position, and the staff from the publicity department took their photos.
"Xiaoli, don’t shrink back to the end! You are a key contributor, come stand at the front."
Dean Jin looked around and didn’t see Li Jingsheng, hence he turned and called him to the front.
This was also a form of cultivating him.
The more publicity opportunities one receives in a hospital, the higher the visibility and the higher the status.
Li Jingsheng was originally just an attending orthopedist.
And a newly promoted one at that.
His position at the Second Hospital was very limited.
Now being called to the front row to appear alongside chief physicians, standing right next to Dean Jin.
This treatment was quite unusual.
For hospital group photos, even for departmental photos, positioning is very particular.
Those in the front usually include the department heads, while the rest are key figures from the department, essentially high-level, high revenue-generating chief physicians and head nurses.
Some people think head nurse practitioners are very cool, and indeed they are.
But head nurses hold real power and can sometimes oversee head nurse practitioners.
Moreover, some head nurses are also head nurse practitioners.
Also, some good-looking head nurses usually have support. Those who understand, understand.
After the promotional photos and videos were taken, everyone returned to their posts to work.
Doctors and nurses were extremely busy.
There were always patients who needed treatment.
Li Jingsheng returned to the manual reduction clinic, and felt uneasy seeing the door to the first clinic closed.
Doctor Xu’s recovery timeline was uncertain.
Even more uncertain was whether he could continue to work in the future.
Luckily, he won the championship for manual bone-setting and reduction in this skills competition. Otherwise, if the championship fell into Wei Xianxian of Jiupeng International Hospital, the Second Hospital’s manual bone-setting business would likely plummet.
"Dr. Li is finally back! I’ve missed you so much these past few days!"
Nurse Li Li laughed like a blooming flower.
It was clear that she was genuinely happy.
"Really, where did you miss me?"
Li Jingsheng asked, looking at her.
"Oh dear, Dr. Li went out for a few days and came back naughty!"
She stomped her foot in embarrassment.
Li Jingsheng laughed heartily as he walked into the clinic.
"Dr. Li, congratulations! I’ve watched the live broadcast of you winning the championship several times, it was truly thrilling. If one day I could stand on stage like you and receive an award, I would be willing to die for it."
Dr. Chen had already prepared tea for Li Jingsheng and completed other preparatory work.
"Those are your words, if you really win the gold medal in manual bone-setting, you’d better be careful not to fall on stage!"
Li Jingsheng laughingly scolded him.
Dr. Chen detected a hint of deeper meaning and showed a joyful expression.
"Is Dr. Li planning to teach me manual bone-setting?"
"Haha, you sneaky fellow! How’s your practice with the bone-setting techniques on the model skeleton going?"
Li Jingsheng felt Dr. Chen was not at all dumb.
On the contrary, he was quite clever.
It’s just that his talent for bone-setting techniques was a bit lacking, fearing his future achievements might be limited.
"I’ve been seriously practicing, but I always feel that practice is one thing and real-life implementation is another. How about giving me some practical opportunities to get hands-on? I just got paid this month, the best restaurant, you pick!"
Dr. Chen seized the opportunity.
Pressing Li Jingsheng on the spot to grant him some hands-on practice opportunities.
"I don’t have any objections, just worried patients might curse you!"
Li Jingsheng recalled the time Dr. Chen rotated a patient’s foot round after round, which ended with the patient cursing, and he was indeed a bit hesitant to give Dr. Chen practical tasks.
"No worries, I have thick skin, they can curse if they want! Besides, I will be cautious, if I can’t handle it, I will promptly seek your help and won’t blindly persist."
Dr. Chen said cheekily.
"Alright then, fair warning—if you mess up, don’t blame me for not giving you practical opportunities next time."
Having received authorization from Doctor Xu, Li Jingsheng consciously began mentoring.
