Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Li Jingsheng hadn’t treated her poorly.

After breakfast, he hurried to the Second Hospital for work.

In the clinic, Nurse Li Li, Xiaochen, and four students were already on duty.

Aside from Ye Hui and Yang Luqing, who were senior students, there were two others who were recruited later.

One was Vice Dean Jin’s nephew, Jin Yanyu.

This kid was kept purely out of respect for Vice Dean Jin.

Speaking of talent, Jin Yanyu was quite good.

But he had a ton of spoiled rich kid habits, so up until now, Li Jingsheng only let him do chores and taught him some basic bone-setting techniques.

He never taught him anything slightly more advanced.

On the other hand, Ye Hui and Yang Luqing had already learned some more advanced bone-setting techniques.

They could now help alleviate some of Li Jingsheng’s workload by handling simple fracture cases. However, they were far from mastering the craft.

The other student was selected later.

Named Liu Xian, he was quite short, barely reaching one meter sixty.

For a young man, this was quite short.

Nowadays, many young men are over one meter eighty by the time they’re fifteen or sixteen.

Despite Liu Xian’s short stature and relative frailty, he possessed exceptional talent. Whether it’s the practical operation of bone setting, diagnostic thinking, or treatment plans, Li Jingsheng was very fond of him.

The only downside was that he didn’t like talking much; he was taciturn and quite introverted.

Li Jingsheng had recruited him over a month ago.

But he was still in the probationary period, doing work similar to Jin Yanyu’s, mainly chores and learning some basic bone-setting techniques.

"Good morning, teacher!"

The four students simultaneously greeted him, creating quite a sight.

For developing the bone-setting practice, the Second Hospital had invested heavily.

They greatly supported Li Jingsheng.

Normally, no attending doctor would have five assistant doctors and a nurse.

Because hospitals must consider labor costs.

"Dr. Li came a bit early today!"

Dr. Chen also greeted him with a smile.

This guy’s survival instinct was quite strong.

It’s awkward for him to call Li Jingsheng ’teacher’ with the medical students, so he could only call him Dr. Li.

It’s not that he couldn’t swallow his pride, but he had asked twice to apprentice under Li Jingsheng and was refused both times.

The only reason given was that the timing was not mature.

Dr. Chen, being an inpatient physician, naturally felt too embarrassed to call him teacher after being rejected.

However, in every action, he showed great respect towards Li Jingsheng.

Treating him completely as a mentor.

"I deliberately came early to inspect the post and see which of you six arrived last. You all did well, came quite early."

Li Jingsheng’s gaze swept over them.

He appropriately complimented them.

After a period of discipline, even the formerly arrogant Jin Yanyu was well-behaved under his guidance.

Because Jin Yanyu realized his Vice Dean uncle’s influence was completely ineffective.

Once, Jin Yanyu had a childish outburst and got into a dispute with a female patient, nearly resulting in a physical altercation.

After calming down the patient, Li Jingsheng didn’t criticize Jin Yanyu in the moment.

But during lunch, he directly called Vice Dean Jin, telling him he couldn’t teach this nephew and asked him to take the boy back.

After the call, he told Jin Yanyu not to come in the next day.

By then, Jin Yanyu had been under Li Jingsheng’s tutelage for five or six days, hadn’t learned anything, and was constantly tasked with menial chores, which made him quite angry.

He threw a tantrum on the spot.

Taking off his coat and throwing it onto the floor, glaring at Li Jingsheng, saying, "Well, if I’m not meant to be here, I’m not, but don’t expect me to come crawling back."

His words implied that Li Jingsheng would offend Vice Dean Jin if he were to fire him.

Therefore, to quell Vice Dean Jin’s anger, Li Jingsheng would naturally plead with Jin Yanyu to return.

The young man’s idea was good, but naive.

Jin Yanyu went to complain to Vice Dean Jin, crying about his grievances.

Unexpectedly, his uncle didn’t utter a word to criticize Li Jingsheng but instead talked with his nephew in the office for over an hour.

By the evening, Jin Yanyu sheepishly stood outside the clinic waiting.

Seeing Li Jingsheng come out, he immediately approached him.

"Teacher, I was wrong earlier today. I shouldn’t have thrown a fit. I’m offering to treat you to dinner to apologize. Please don’t kick me out from the bone-setting clinic, okay?"

Who knows what Vice Dean Jin had told him.

The boy’s attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.

After listening, Li Jingsheng only left a remark, "This place is too small a temple for such a great deity as yourself."

Then, he walked away without turning back.

For the next week, Jin Yanyu kept vigil outside the clinic waiting for Li Jingsheng to finish work. But Li Jingsheng only worked three days a week, which made Jin Yanyu very anxious.

Another interesting point was that without Li Jingsheng’s permission, Jin Yanyu only dared to wait outside for him after work and never dared step into the clinic.

Out of fear of angering Li Jingsheng again.

Eventually, Jin Yanyu waited outside the bone-setting clinic for five days, approximately two weeks in total.

Li Jingsheng finally softened his stance.

He only made one request: for Jin Yanyu to write a self-reflection until Li Jingsheng was satisfied.

Jin Yanyu, seeing that Li Jingsheng had finally softened his stance, went back to sincerely write the self-reflection.

When he eagerly handed the reflection over to Li Jingsheng, Li Jingsheng glanced at it and casually tossed it into the trash.

He only said four words, "Lacking sincerity."

At that moment, Jin Yanyu showed a slightly angry expression but ultimately restrained himself. By midday, he took the opportunity when Li Jingsheng went to eat to hand over the rewritten reflection.

This time, Li Jingsheng looked at it and did not throw it into the trash.

He still said it lacked sincerity.

After writing the reflection four times, the last one comprising over three thousand words and sincerely recognizing his own mistakes, Li Jingsheng finally agreed to allow Jin Yanyu to return to work in the manual therapy clinic.

Through this incident, he established absolute authority and power in the manual therapy clinic.

Everyone understood that even the Vice Dean’s nephew could not enjoy any special privileges here.

If one does not perform well, they will be directly dismissed.

The students, one by one, became obedient, and nobody dared to act irresponsibly.

Nowadays, Jin Yanyu is cautious not to oppose or resist Li Jingsheng and dares not show any spoiled demeanor.

"Ye Hui, you’ve been learning manual bone setting with me for almost three months, right?"

Li Jingsheng looked at Ye Hui and asked.

"Counting tomorrow, it’ll be exactly three months. However, as you only work here three days a week, I’ve actually learned for just over a month."

She was full of respect for Li Jingsheng.

As the teacher’s current skill in manual bone setting is something she can only look up to.

Even if she dedicates her entire life, she might not reach the teacher’s current level.

"Do you know about Sunshine Clinic?"

"Of course I know! I’ve even specifically visited a few times, though I didn’t dare to disturb you and only dared to stand outside and look."

Ye Hui replied honestly.

"Come to Sunshine Clinic tomorrow to find me."

Li Jingsheng’s test for her is basically concluded, and he is satisfied in all aspects.

From her, he can see the compassion of a healer.

It is genuine compassion, and yet her actions are not pedantic, which is what satisfies Li Jingsheng the most.

"OK!"

Ye Hui agreed excitedly.

She naturally understood that Li Jingsheng asking her to go to him alone must mean there’s something good.

After learning manual bone setting with Li Jingsheng for so long, she has somewhat come to understand Li Jingsheng’s character.

Yang Luqing and others looked on with envy.

"Teacher, I also want to find you at Sunshine Clinic tomorrow,"

Jin Yanyu interjected nearby.

After all, having a Vice Dean for an uncle, his courage is indeed much bigger than others.

Because he has more opportunities to make mistakes.

If he offends Li Jingsheng, he can lower his head and beg for mercy, and there’s still some room to turn things around.

"You should practice your basics first, and I have my plans."

Li Jingsheng looked at him indifferently.

"I think I have practiced quite solidly. Really, I also want to learn like you, to help people relocate a dislocated joint just by reaching out. It’s really cool."

Jin Yanyu remained persistent.

"Firstly, let’s correct one point; we’re not studying medicine to be cool. The purpose of studying medicine is to help patients relieve their suffering. If the ambition is greater, studying medicine can also be about helping humanity fight against diseases and solving various difficult medical issues."

Li Jingsheng instructed several students.

"Furthermore, your talent is an advantage, but just having talent and aiming too high will ensure you don’t go far. When your uncle entrusted you to me, I gave my word to him. If you study well and meet the conditions, I can help you get started, maybe even assist you further. But if you stubbornly refuse to ground yourself, I can’t help.

What you waste with me is only your own time.

Life is short. Being in your twenties is the most valuable learning period in life.

Think carefully tonight. Is manual bone setting the type of medicine you’re interested in? What is your true purpose for studying medicine?

Once thought through, write it down and submit it to me later."

With this connection, Li Jingsheng actually felt quite repulsed initially.

He held great disdain in his heart.

After prolonged contact, he discovered that Jin Yanyu also has a straightforward and adorable side. For instance, there was a case of an elderly lady with a fracture, who needed to lie in bed for traction. The old lady’s son had left temporarily.

By lunchtime, the old lady’s son still hadn’t returned.

The elderly lady lay in bed unattended.

Nurses and doctors were also not going to provide food for her.

Eventually, Jin Yanyu found an opportunity, saying he was going to the restroom, but ended up buying food for the old lady.

The dishes he chose were ones the old lady could eat without difficulty.

This shows that the young man has a kind heart, just spoiled by his parents since childhood.

Working\, after all, with an uncle as Vice Dean and always feeling superior, unable to recognize reality.

Ultimately, this turned him into who he is now.

That very small act of kindness led Li Jingsheng to become more tolerant of Jin Yanyu. It was also the first time he truly accepted this student.

After that, when teaching Jin Yanyu basic manual bone setting techniques, he noticeably put in more effort.

Before this, Jin Yanyu was essentially just a sidelined figure here, frequently left out in the cold.
