Chapter 437: Chapter 212: Medical Complex, the Grief-Stricken Aunt (Part 3)

But there was no other movement.

After a long time, when they parted, she was no longer angry.

For women, a little coaxing and a hug can soften them up.

"Come to my clinic and sit for a while, and take some fruit back to eat!"

Li Jingsheng held her hand and walked towards the clinic diagonally across the street.

In the darkness, a woman in her thirties was standing outside the Sunshine Clinic, still looking young, and somewhat familiar.

"Is she here to see me for a consultation?"

Li Jingsheng muttered, quickening his pace.

Ou Qinglan might still be a bit shy in front of outsiders, so she let go of his hand and followed behind.

"Dr. Li, you’re finally back!"

The woman recognized him at a glance.

Li Jingsheng looked at this woman, observed her for a moment, and after carefully recalling, he quickly remembered.

"You’re the aunt who accompanied your niece to see the doctor?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I took my niece to the People’s Hospital’s dental department for an examination, and then she was transferred to the oncology department. I have been accompanying my niece for tests and sample tests for the past two days. The sky has fallen... boo hoo!"

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and began to sob.

"Don’t worry, come inside and sit down to talk."

Li Jingsheng looked at Ou Qinglan, who understood and stepped forward to comfort the woman softly.

This showed that although Ou Qinglan was kind, she was not very good at dealing with family members.

At least compared to Tang Ping’s experience, she was far behind.

It’s understandable, given that she is still just a graduate student in training with little experience.

Many medical graduates, when they start working in hospitals, barely know how to talk to patients and their families in the first couple of months.

Sometimes, a poorly phrased question can easily lead to complaints from the family and patients.

Li Jingsheng opened the clinic door, turned on the lights, and invited the woman to sit down.

He also poured a cup of water for her and Ou Qinglan.

"Has your niece been diagnosed with anything?"

"It’s not confirmed yet, but the result is very unfavorable. The doctor said there’s a very high possibility of a malignant tumor." The woman choked again. "My brother and sister-in-law entrusted their child to me, and now with such a big issue, how am I going to explain this to them!"

She covered her face and cried bitterly.

Ou Qinglan gently patted her on the back but did not know how to comfort her.

The development and improvement of clinical experience actually involve not just medical skills, but also how to communicate with patients.

"What do you want me to help with now that you’re here?"

Li Jingsheng couldn’t help but sigh when he heard it was a malignant tumor.

A few days ago, when examining that girl, he knew it was definitely not just an ordinary mouth ulcer.

How could a mouth ulcer not heal for two months while causing high fever?

Now he just hopes the tumor hasn’t spread yet.

If discovered in time, with surgical removal and chemotherapy for consolidation, there is a chance of a cure.

"Dr. Li, I know your skills are excellent. I beg you, save my niece. Even if I have to sell my house, I’m willing." The woman suddenly knelt in front of Li Jingsheng.

Startled, he quickly helped her up with Ou Qinglan, one on each side.

Some family members and patients overly idealize his capabilities, which makes him helpless.

He’s just a small clinic doctor and is powerless against many medical conditions.

Especially when it comes to malignant oral tumors.

"The People’s Hospital is the top hospital in Lijiang City, a third-level Grade A hospital. My skills are far inferior to theirs. You should follow the People’s Hospital doctor’s instructions and have your niece cooperate with the treatment."

Li Jingsheng advised this family member.

One could see that her entire being was particularly haggard. In just two days, she looked like she had aged ten years.

What began as a simple oral ulcer for her niece turned out to be a malignant tumor, leaving her utterly devastated.

You could tell she was a particularly good aunt.

"My niece is currently hospitalized at the People’s Hospital. I came to you to see if she can be treated here. No matter the cost, I’ll pay for it."

"Listen, I’m really powerless here. Just follow the hospital’s instructions. If you’re ever unsure about anything, you can always call me."

Li Jingsheng had always thought about getting a business card.

But he hadn’t yet set up a new phone number, so it was put off.

Now he could only write down a phone number for this woman.

Otherwise, seeing her demeanor, she wouldn’t leave.

She clutched the piece of paper with the phone number tightly, as if it were a lifeline.

When she got up to leave, her legs seemed weak, and she almost fell.

Li Jingsheng quickly supported her.

Fortunately, Ou Qinglan wasn’t the kind of girl who easily got jealous.

She hurried over, helping Li Jingsheng support the woman from both sides.

Though she was only in her thirties, her excessive grief perhaps made her unable to eat, leading to this physical weakness.

"Qinglan, please help this lady to sit while I get something for her to eat."

With no other choice, Li Jingsheng took some rice cakes that Ou Qinglan had specially brought from her hometown.

"There’s nothing else to eat here in the clinic. Have some to regain your strength before leaving."

Seeing her like this at night really worried him.

The woman took two bites, then shook her head. "I really can’t eat. Thinking about my niece’s illness makes my heart ache. If only we discovered it earlier, if only we cared for her more often, it wouldn’t have dragged on for so long."

"Even if you can’t eat, you must. A person has to live. If your health fails now, who will care for your niece? The results are not even out yet, don’t be too pessimistic. It won’t be good if you get sick out of worry when your niece turns out to be fine."

Li Jingsheng advised her.

"Sister, Dr. Li is right. You should eat and drink as needed. You are your niece’s hope right now, understand?"

Ou Qinglan also persuaded her.

Persuaded by the two, the woman finished the rice cake and drank two cups of water.

Her energy seemed much restored as she stood up to leave.

She didn’t seem to be in poor economic condition, as she drove a small car here.

It was a red Hyundai, likely a car under a hundred thousand used for commuting.

Most people are ordinary folks in reality.

Earning ten thousand plus a month is mostly seen online.

Keyboard warriors boast without any cost.

In reality, earning over ten thousand a month is a high income.

Some low-income jobs pay about two thousand a month, and such jobs aren’t rare.

Li Jingsheng watched the woman drive away and sighed softly. Once the test results are out, we’ll see what kind of tumor it is. Hopefully, it won’t be one of those particularly aggressive types.
