Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic-Chapter 162 - 121: Timely Rain, This Is a Gifted 50 Life Points

The family watched him frowning for a long time, still failing to diagnose the condition, and started doubting his medical skills.

After all, the clinic was small, and Li Jingsheng was so young.

No matter how much the child's grandmother trusted the words of her friends, she still needed to see for herself.

"Dr. Li, is this illness quite difficult to treat? How about we go home for now? The milk the child drinks has cooled down and needs to be re-made at home."

Artificial feeding is actually very troublesome.

Especially with the difficulty of controlling the temperature of the infant formula.

If it's too hot, it will burn the child's oral mucosa, and the proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients in the formula will be destroyed by high temperatures.

If it's too cold, the infant is prone to diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms after drinking it.

The temperature of the formula needs to be maintained at around 40 degrees, slightly higher than body temperature, which is very troublesome to manage.

"The child's illness is indeed tricky; the main challenge is in identifying the cause. How about this, if you're willing, you can leave a phone number, and if I diagnose it later, I'll call you to come back."

Li Jingsheng naturally knew the family was making excuses.

This was just perfect, saving face.

The child's grandmother left a phone number and left, holding the child.

"Why are you still sitting there idly? Go home to make formula for the child! Bringer of bad luck!"

The child's grandmother was particularly harsh towards her daughter-in-law upon seeing her.

The young mother seemed timid or something, as she meekly took the bottle, opened the clinic door willingly, and let the grandmother holding the child go out first.

Li Jingsheng watched their backs, feeling very unwilling.

Opportunities to tackle such complex cases were hard to come by.

Based on his experience, as long as he successfully diagnosed the case, the rewards on the attribute panel will be very encouraging.

Plus, it would be a great exercise for personal ability.

The grandmother holding the child surprisingly didn't leave but backed up.

Li Jingsheng was pondering what was happening when he saw the old man who received treatment for back abscess and his wife step into the clinic.

The old lady was carrying a large bag of fruit, while the old man held a roll of dark red fabric.

It had a fringed edge.

At a glance, Li Jingsheng immediately felt energized.

If he guessed correctly, the old man should be holding a flag of commendation.

Based on the timeline, the old man's surgical wound should also be almost healed.

Looking at the joyful expressions on the elderly couple's faces, most likely they were here to thank Li Jingsheng at the clinic.

Indeed, as soon as the old man entered, he unfurled the flag and walked quickly toward the reception counter with a broad smile.

"Dr. Li, thank you for treating the large abscess on my back. Your noble character and admirable medical ethics are evident; you firmly refused to accept a red envelope. I specially custom-made a flag, and my wife bought some fruit to thank you for curing my ailment."

The old man's voice was quite loud.

The grandmother holding the child, the young mother, and the customers buying medicine at the counter all looked towards them.

Li Jingsheng could feel the respect in their gazes as they looked at him.

The grandmother holding the child wasn't in a hurry to leave anymore.

Instead, she stopped to watch, wanting to see if this Dr. Li was as skilled as her friends said.

Without a doubt, seeing a patient bring a flag of commendation to Li Jingsheng greatly boosted her trust in him.

"You're too kind! Thank you for your appreciation! I'll accept the flag, please take the fruit back with you. I'm a doctor, and treating patients is my duty; it already made me feel shy for you to spend money custom-making a flag for me. The fruit I absolutely cannot take."

Just earlier, Li Jingsheng was contemplating how to earn over a hundred life points.

A visit from a flag brought an immediate 100 life points to his account.

However, there were still 36 points left to reach.

If fast, saving one patient would earn them quickly. If slow, he'd have to treat eighteen patients, and it's the type that arrives in installments.

Li Jingsheng checked the old man's back wound and found the recovery excellent.

He adamantly refused to accept the fruit, and the old lady left it behind and walked away.

This left Li Jingsheng looking helpless but with a warm feeling inside.

The greatest satisfaction for a doctor is seeing their patients recover; if patients express gratitude post-recovery, that's the warmest moment in a doctor's heart.

The grandmother with the child and the young mother had already left.

There's something interesting – the child's grandmother deliberately came back after exiting to remind Li Jingsheng, if he diagnosed the cause of the child's illness, to call her.

Don't underestimate this small gesture; it shows that after seeing a patient present a flag to Li Jingsheng, the grandmother has placed high trust in his medical skills.

Many such patients, after ineffective treatment at big hospitals, especially venerate folk 'healers.'

Li Jingsheng is not some 'healer,' as most folk Chinese medicine practitioners are referred to as 'healers.' Some old Chinese medicine practitioners truly have real skills, but most are mere rumors, or even self-promoted through hired sham supporters.

He checked his life points, balance 333.

This is a very unappealing number.

He found not only increased life points by 100, but also the proficiency in Gastroenterology diagnosis improved by 5 points.

Gastroenterology mastery 136.7/500.

It definitely increased his proficiency in Gastroenterology diagnostics with the examination of that child by a solid 5 points.

It seems to quickly enhance proficiency, he must treat challenging cases.

Despite not diagnosing the cause, he gained such great rewards.

If successfully diagnosed, the rewards would certainly be more remarkable.

Also noteworthy, diagnosing that child didn't increase his life points.
