Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but think of that extremely arrogant female nurse.

Apparently, he wasn’t the only one who had faced the cold demeanor of that female nurse.

Every hospital has a few similar ’official big shots’, whose positions aren’t high, and abilities aren’t strong, but either they have a good father or a good godfather.

No one can do anything about them.

Everyone is a rational adult, and it’s impossible to confront these people with connections over trivial matters.

The vast majority just endure it while holding their noses.

After all, dealing with them once or twice is enough, just avoid them next time.

"Why is a department head afraid of a female nurse? Could he have that kind of relationship with her?"

Li Jingsheng asked gossipy.

He was indeed somewhat curious about the matter.

"You’re talking nonsense! The young girl isn’t naive, Director Kuo is fifty-two years old this year, his department is always at the bottom, no income, no status, which young girl would be with him?"

Director Hua talked about these matters with an exuberance as if he were at a drinking table.

Didn’t avoid anything.

And indeed, it was just as he said.

Whether it’s a hospital or other units, as long as they’re adults, everyone is very realistic.

Wanting a young nurse to sacrifice herself? Don’t even think about it without major benefits.

"The female nurse in their Endocrinology department, her grandfather and father are both in the health system. Especially her grandfather, even though he’s retired, his influence is still considerable. With such a connection, as long as that female nurse is in the Endocrinology department for a day, this department will have some presence in the hospital leadership’s eyes, and won’t be easily merged."

What Director Hua said made Li Jingsheng understand everything.

Director Kuo tolerates the female nurse’s behavior as a form of survival.

Since the Endocrinology department is too weak now, to avoid being merged into other departments, he turns a blind eye to the female nurse’s actions.

This can be seen as a compromise.

Director Kuo looks like an old man over sixty, didn’t expect he’s only 52.

To look this old, the work pressure must be incredibly high.

"After all, he’s a chief physician, even if the department is canceled, it shouldn’t matter, right? Perhaps if he merges into another department, his income and status might even be higher."

In a hospital, as long as you’re skilled, with a promoted title, it’s hard to be in a bad situation.

Now, Director Kuo is struggling to support a department on the brink of extinction, being dominated by a female nurse daily; really don’t know what he’s thinking?

Sometimes, perhaps lying flat is also a wise choice.

"Perhaps he harbors a sentiment in his heart! He’s worked in the Endocrinology department for many years, has deep feelings for it, and can’t bear to see it vanished. These years, he’s been relentlessly trying to change the status quo, wanting to strengthen the department. Unfortunately, due to insufficient business, few patients come, which leads to low revenue and low wages for medical staff.

Affecting the recruitment of new doctors.

Younger doctors with some skill don’t want to join such an unpromising department.

In short, this is a department close to extinction, and if you can avoid it, do so.

Later, when you witness, be sure to protect yourself."

Director Hua was still a bit uneasy and reminded him once more.

"Understood!"

Li Jingsheng left Director Hua’s office and quickly immersed himself in the tense outpatient work.

A little past eleven in the morning, he received a call from Director Kuo asking him to visit the mediation room beside the medical affairs department.

Originally called the dispute mediation room, it was renamed to sound more harmonious as the medical-patient mediation room.

Upon entering, he saw a long mediation table with Deputy Chief Shang Zhi from the medical affairs department and two staff members sitting on the left side. But didn’t see Director Kuo.

To protect the involved doctors, they generally don’t let them meet with family members directly.

Some family members, emotionally uncontrolled, might even pull out weapons and commit violence.

At the head of the mediation table sat two staff members, a man and a woman, from the superior department.

Li Jingsheng didn’t know which department they belonged to.

Generally speaking, their rank wouldn’t be high.

Shang Zhi was very polite to those two, indicating they might come from the health system, most likely from the higher authority of the second hospital.

On the other side of the mediation table sat several grieving and angry family members.

Including the deceased’s wife.

When Li Jingsheng saw this woman again, he noticed her eyes were red and swollen, her hair slightly messy, still wearing the same clothes from two days ago. She seemed unusually haggard; the pain in her expression was clearly genuine.

This kind of heartbroken grief, not to mention ordinary people, even top actors can hardly fake.

However, professional actors can reach strong proficiency in emotional control, their expressed sadness, although acted, is indistinguishable from real sorrow.

Because at that moment, they’re truly emotional, submerged in the character and storyline.

This patient’s wife is just an ordinary, very ordinary woman.

It’s naturally impossible for her to possess such advanced acting skills.

Indicating she’s genuinely saddened and distressed by her husband’s passing.

This contrasts starkly with how when Li Jingsheng first saw her, she was by her husband’s bedside, casually playing with her phone.
