Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

"Recently, our Second Hospital has gained significant fame in the skills competition. With notoriety comes scrutiny. Some people might be envious of us and could try some underhanded tactics. Give me the patient’s identity information, and I’ll have the hospital’s public relations department look into it later."

Many larger hospitals have crisis management departments.

The weaker ones might have the propaganda department take on the role.

Hospitals with more substantial resources may have a PR group or department, sometimes merged with the disputes office.

In any case, it handles various crisis emergency situations.

The image and reputation of any hospital are very important, and we can’t just let patients, their families, or competitors wreak havoc.

When facing a crisis, the PR department will quickly step in to handle it.

Second Hospital nearly monopolizes the southern urban area, and their competence in this regard is naturally not weak.

"By the way, I saw you trending on the news, so you need to handle this carefully. From the perspective of the hospital’s and the department’s interests, I certainly hope you can do some promotion for the Second Hospital and our Orthopedic Department, if conditions allow. Our hospital has an advertising budget and definitely won’t make you work for free. The hospital leadership will offer you some compensation at the right time.

If you take the initiative on this, the higher-ups at the hospital will see you have a strong sense of belonging to Second Hospital. Important promotions and further training opportunities will surely prioritize you.

I’m just bringing this up as an ordinary elder, but how you handle it is up to you."

Saying he’s bringing it up, he’s actually giving Li Jingsheng a hint.

It’s also a form of cultivation.

After all, Li Jingsheng has always had a good relationship with Director Hua and is an orthopedic doctor, so he’s considered one of their own, and Director Hua will naturally give him some special attention.

The sense of belonging he spoke of actually means showing loyalty to Second Hospital.

"Okay, I’ll definitely do some promotion for the hospital and our department if I get the chance. I’m just starting in this area, so I don’t understand a lot of things, and I’m afraid to make random statements,"

Li Jingsheng said gratefully.

"Take it slow; with your intelligence and knowledge, I believe you’ll soon become familiar with the techniques and rules of media promotion. There are many web celebrities with only elementary school education who become extremely popular online; didn’t they also gradually learn and train themselves?"

Director Hua is quite optimistic about Li Jingsheng.

Since he recruited Li Jingsheng, he has almost watched him improve rapidly, becoming stronger all the time.

People who can become doctors typically have high academic qualifications and IQ, with strong adaptability.

"Haha, I never really considered becoming a web celebrity. For now, I’m just taking it one step at a time."

Li Jingsheng was both helpless and a little curious about unexpectedly trending online.

"It’s something you’ll get used to over time. Many people do all sorts of degrading things to become web celebrities, but you have such a good opportunity, so I think you should seize it."

This truly is a rare and precious opportunity.

Ordinary doctors or nurses might have to work hard for a year or two to gain a few thousand or ten thousand followers online for a science popularization account.

Li Jingsheng is seeing a very rapid increase in followers, something many people dream of.

Being a web celebrity is not easy, but the earning potential is strong, and it can greatly enhance personal fame and clinic reputation, offering numerous benefits.

"Oh, there’s another thing I’d like to discuss with you. At the celebration dinner that night, I mentioned wanting to train a group of experts in manual bone setting. Today, I’d like to discuss it with you more in-depth."

Li Jingsheng felt that if he could train a group of apprentices, it would not only greatly ease the treatment pressure of the manual bone setting clinic but also protect his reputation from patients with other possible motives.

After all, he could entirely let other doctors treat these patients.

Even if there’s really any issue, as long as the procedures are strictly followed, the hospital won’t suffer losses.

Furthermore, it won’t affect his reputation.

When Director Mu misdiagnosed a patient and got anxious, he didn’t understand.

Now that he has become a leader in a medical discipline, he deeply feels the responsibility and burden on his shoulders.

"I’ve already discussed this with Dean Fu, and the hospital is very supportive of this matter. They can even create conditions to promote your teaching position. You can become a teaching assistant at a medical school, and after meeting the conditions and years of experience, you can apply to become a professor. The first batch of trainees is selected with loyalty in consideration.

The candidates are already being finalized, and you’ll probably have a list within these two days.

When the time comes, you can take them and leave those you find satisfactory to learn."

On the surface, taking on apprentices seems like a small matter, but the hospital takes it very seriously.

They also consider Li Jingsheng’s interests, putting more emphasis on cultivating him.

And they respect Li Jingsheng’s opinion.

Letting him choose suitable trainees to keep.

Promotion in teaching positions is quite difficult.

Without the hospital’s help, with his conditions, he might not even get in.

But now, with Second Hospital helping him apply to teaching hospitals, it becomes much easier.

The title of teaching assistant is not impressive.

But once promoted to associate professor, it suddenly becomes prestigious.

The hospital seizes this opportunity to cultivate his teaching title, indicating they’re preparing to make him a valuable asset for the hospital.

It seems that the conversation with Dean Fu that night, where he laid out his plans for the clinic’s development, has already won the hospital leadership’s confidence. Otherwise, they’d be afraid that Li Jingsheng might turn his back on them.

In the end, after much effort in cultivation, developing Sunshine Clinic to compete with Second Hospital would leave them in a difficult position.

"I’ll follow the arrangements made by you and the hospital,"

Li Jingsheng stated.

Everything has been arranged so thoughtfully for him; what more could he say?

If he didn’t express his loyalty humbly at this time, he’d have wasted nearly thirty years of his life.

"If the General Surgery department invites you to participate in some surgeries, make sure to go if you have the time. I’ve seen your performance in the skills competition. Although your surgical skills are quite good, there’s still much room for improvement. Becoming a great doctor isn’t easy, and it certainly can’t be done overnight. Despite your excellent talent, you must remain humble, understood?"

Director Hua admonished earnestly.

"Okay, I’ll keep my head down and do my work; please rest assured,"

It was clearly a serious issue, yet it successfully made Director Hua laugh.

"Go mind your own business! There are quite a few patients on the outpatient side, just do what you can, but remember to take care of your health. Slow and steady wins the race!"

"Understood!"

Li Jingsheng walked out of the director’s office, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed.

The future looked brighter and brighter, which made his mood exceptionally good.

At this moment, his phone vibrated twice.

He swiped open the screen to take a look.

He thought it was another message from an old classmate or acquaintance, sent after seeing him trending online.

Surprisingly, it was from Manager Hu at Best Medicine.

"Regarding the online pharmacy business launch, I’ve secured some benefits from the headquarters for you, delivering them to your clinic. Since you weren’t there, Nurse Tang Ping received them."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Li Jingsheng replied with two thanks, also a bit curious about what exactly Best Medicine had sent as benefits.

He was about to call Tang Ping to ask.

She seemed to have a sixth sense and sent over two pictures.

"Boss, these were personally delivered by Manager Hu from Best Medicine."

A desktop computer for office use.

And a printer, mainly used for printing courier numbers and customer information.

Three boxes of carbon ink pens, and a box of blank documents.

This Manager Hu was truly considerate. But since he manages the business for Jiangli City and even the neighboring counties, he must have known what initial office supplies were urgently needed after launching the online pharmacy business.

"Did you thank him?"

"I’ve thanked him. Bought two bottles of drinks for him and his secretary. You can reimburse it when you return, it was nine yuan in total."

"No problem!"

Li Jingsheng smiled, recognizing that Tang Ping was smart enough to buy two drinks to entertain Manager Hu and his secretary.

"Has anyone come to apply for the customer service position?"

"Yes, I received five resumes this morning alone. They’re all quite young, including a young man in his twenties applying for the customer service position. But it seems he has a disability with his foot."

Tang Ping replied to him.

So many people applying for the customer service job was something Li Jingsheng did not expect.

He offered a base salary of 2,200 yuan, with commissions.

The salary was considered very low, but for customer service, it was usually around two to three thousand.

Smart employers set a base salary and then an additional bonus or commission.

Otherwise, without bonus incentives, over time, every employee would slack off.

Hearing that there were so many applicants for the customer service position, Li Jingsheng felt assured.

Just waiting to go back to open the store.

At the moment, his store application had only been approved by Taobao. Two other e-commerce platforms were still under review.

Theoretically, just one online store would suffice.

But considering different customer groups have different shopping habits, Li Jingsheng had to take that into account, so he applied to open online stores on three platforms.

The most expensive was JD, with very high fees.

If using their own storage logistics warehouse, the cost would be even higher.

It’s said that timeliness is guaranteed.

In response, Li Jingsheng definitely opted for a cost-saving approach.

Because he didn’t need to buy traffic from e-commerce platforms.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have launched the online pharmacy business.

He returned to the manual reduction clinic and swiftly resumed his workaholic mode. One by one, the patients with bone injuries or diseases were relieved of their ailments under his treatment and left satisfied.

A few left grumbling.

He couldn’t satisfy every patient. Plus, time was tight, and he truly had no time to explain much to them.

It was inevitable that communication fell short, leading to patients’ misunderstanding and complaints.

Around five in the afternoon, Li Jingsheng’s phone rang.

He glanced at it, discovering it was an unfamiliar number.

He hung up and muted it, putting it aside.

However, the person persisted and called again.

Li Jingsheng thought to himself maybe they really needed to reach him for something.

He answered then and there.

"Dr. Li, I’m Director Kuo from the Endocrinology Department! I know you might be very busy right now, but we’ve received a patient with a rather special condition. Director Mu recommended you, saying your diagnostic skills in internal medicine are excellent. Could you possibly come over for a consultation?"

Endocrinology has always been a weak point for the Second Hospital.

They’ve been striving to develop it over the years, but without significant achievements to present.

Director Kuo wasn’t familiar with Li Jingsheng.

His sudden approach was surely because the patient’s condition was quite critical.
