Chapter 795 - 371: Extortion, Trouble Caused by Duck Bones

Chapter 795: Chapter 371: Extortion, Trouble Caused by Duck Bones

The patient is bedridden and unable to walk. In this situation, it is necessary to massage the muscles in the legs and other areas to prevent muscle atrophy and blood stasis.

After checking the elderly patient’s condition, Li Jingsheng sighed inwardly, knowing he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Acute gastroenteritis is a common clinical disease, but the elderly patient delayed treatment, leading to severe consequences.

Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to question the elderly patient in front of them, asking why a minor illness was allowed to become severe before seeking hospital treatment.

Otherwise, the patient would likely feel very upset.

The illness is particularly unfriendly to an elderly person with a weakened constitution.

If a young person contracted this illness, they could likely recover with some medication, perhaps without even needing hospitalization.

Leaving the ward, Li Jingsheng pondered the treatment steps for this elderly patient and potential scenarios.

"Jingsheng, you’ve seen the patient now. Do you think there’s hope?"

"There is hope, but not much. There’s one thing that I think could be utilized. If done well, it might just turn the tide and help the patient through this life-or-death moment."

Li Jingsheng said.

"How could it turn the tide?"

"The patient wants to finish writing that book, right? I think that desire can be harnessed. Just now, I noticed that the patient’s spirits were high, with a bright and vibrant look in their eyes. This is a solid foundation. Sometimes, faith exceeds all good medicine."

In clinical practice, a patient’s faith is indeed crucial.

Simply put, it’s the desire for life, maintaining an optimistic and positive attitude towards treatment, which can help boost the body’s immunity.

"That’s an excellent suggestion. I’ll make good use of it."

Lian Tao’s eyes gleamed.

He had always felt that every time he discussed medical issues with Li Jingsheng, even though his own knowledge and clinical experience were more extensive, he always learned valuable insights from Li Jingsheng.

Li Jingsheng almost always had extraordinary insights or remarkable diagnostic ideas.

He felt this was a person’s inherent talent.

It’s not something that can be acquired just by reading more books or diagnosing more patients.

"Brother Tao, it’s already very late. I have to go back now. If there’s any progress or questions about these patients, feel free to text me."

Li Jingsheng said, and then promptly left.

With a wave, he headed straight for the elevator.

Helping out Lian Tao, he never charged a consultation fee.

It was purely mutual assistance between friends, which could also be seen as medical exchange.

"Take care on the road."

"Hey, who would’ve thought Brother Tao could also become such a considerate guy? I always thought you were just a medicine-obsessed fanatic!"

"Get out of here, am I that rigid? Don’t forget to practice colonoscopy, ha!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget."

As Li Jingsheng left the gastroenterology inpatient department, he originally wanted to look for Luo Binggang and Wang Weiwei, but seeing it was already very late, he decided against it.

Back at the clinic, he busied himself with his tasks unmentioned.

The clinic’s development was improving, allowing him to face many situations with composure, confidence, and assurance.

A man must have his own career.

Otherwise, he is destined to be a hollow shell, powerless to act in major matters without money in his pocket.

...

The next day, after getting up, Li Jingsheng had just walked down from the second floor when the newly hired security guard, Xiang Cangsong, came over with a letter.

"Boss, someone just delivered a letter. They told me to give it to you."

Xiang Cangsong had worked hard to get this job and was working diligently.

He had cleaned the yard spotlessly early in the morning.

He had also taken out all the trash from the clinic hallway and offices.

Li Jingsheng took the envelope and looked at it; not a word was written on it.

In this day and age, with the convenience of calls, messages, and emails, who would still use such a means to write to him?

Moreover, no name was left, making it quite mysterious.

Upon opening the envelope, there was only a printed note inside.

"If you want to successfully acquire this property, prepare fifty thousand and transfer it to the designated account, or it will definitely fall through."

So this was extortion.

Demanding fifty thousand upfront, this person had quite an appetite.

Fifty thousand could already buy a small apartment outright.

Li Jingsheng had put in great effort, utilizing various relationships and going through numerous hardships to obtain this purchase qualification.

For what reason?

Wasn’t it to acquire it at a low price?

He was willing to pay the ownership company a management fee of fifty thousand for this property.

But to give the extortionist fifty thousand, why should he?

No one’s money grows on trees.

"Old Xiang, has the person who delivered the letter left?"

"Left! Wearing a baseball cap, looked about in his forties, decades shy of fifty. The person threw down this letter, tossed a ten yuan tip, and left. All he said was to hand it over to Li Jingsheng."

Xiang Cangsong, this fellow, had a bit of rural cunning.

The part about the ten yuan tip would never have been mentioned if Li Jingsheng hadn’t pressed him.

"In such cases, if someone willingly tips, I don’t object. You can keep it. But if it’s from patients or their families asking you for help, then you definitely can’t accept it. Otherwise, you’re not suited for this job."

Li Jingsheng held high moral standards for each of the clinic’s employees.

He absolutely prohibited any form of bribery or coercion.

The Sunshine Clinic’s medical services have now developed, and many people seek consultations every day.

Among them, it’s also easy for some interests to arise.

Xiang Cangsong himself is a migrant worker with weak ideological awareness.

Coupled with a lack of money, under the drive of interests, he inevitably does some foolish things.

For example, secretly giving priority to patients who offer benefits, ensuring they get appointments first.

Or even directly grabbing appointment slots for them.

These are behaviors that the clinic explicitly does not allow.

As long as they work hard, Li Jingsheng can guarantee that every employee will receive a satisfactory salary.

If there are any morally corrupt behaviors, he has always been zero-tolerant.

"Boss, this is my first time accepting a tip. That person left an envelope and money and ran away, and it’s my fault for being greedy at the time. Please don’t get angry. I’ll hand in this ten yuan; I beg you not to fire me over this."

Xiang Cangsong took out that ten yuan.

"I’m just worried that if you get used to accepting tips, you might make some mistakes. Just don’t let it happen again. If that person comes again, don’t alert him; find a way to notify me."

Li Jingsheng had a sudden idea; the security room has surveillance, and it should have captured that person’s appearance.

He immediately went to the surveillance room to retrieve the footage from the security room.

Sure enough, as he suspected, they successfully captured the person’s appearance.

Wearing a baseball cap, his head was always bowed.

His clothes were very loose.

It was impossible to see any specific features.

It seemed the person had come prepared, disguising himself to prevent Li Jingsheng from reporting and catching him.

Also deliberately keeping his head down to avoid the surveillance camera capturing his face.

"What a pity!"

Li Jingsheng couldn’t identify the person, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Tomorrow was the day to pay the deposit and sign the contract.

At this critical juncture, he couldn’t afford any slip-ups.

"I need to report this to Dean Fu."

Li Jingsheng had made a deal with the Second Hospital to secure the right to purchase this courtyard.

He even promised Dean Fu that Sunshine Clinic would not develop towards a hospital direction within ten years.

That is to say, he would always control the size of Sunshine Clinic.

The Second Hospital helped him secure the qualification to purchase the clinic’s courtyard, avoiding the courtyard going to auction.

"Xiaoli, calling me so early, you must have something urgent. Take your time and speak."

After connecting the call, Dean Fu was very amiable and kind to Li Jingsheng.

He did truly like this outstanding young doctor, Li Jingsheng.

"You guessed it right. Early this morning, someone delivered a letter, with a small note printed inside, asking me to give him five hundred thousand. Otherwise, he would sabotage my purchase of the clinic’s courtyard."

After speaking, Li Jingsheng quietly waited.

He believed that Dean Fu would definitely tell him what to do.

"Did you get a clear look at the person’s face?"

Dean Fu’s tone became much more serious.

"Didn’t see it clearly. The person wore a baseball cap and left the envelope with the guard before leaving."

"Oh, your clinic finally hired a security guard! Don’t worry about this; just go to pay the deposit and sign the contract tomorrow. This isn’t a shady operation, so there’s no fear of being reported. If the person comes again, try to keep him there or capture a picture of his face, gather evidence, and then hand it over to the police to handle."

Being in a higher position, Dean Fu wasn’t bothered at all upon hearing this.

He even thought it was just a clown.

"Alright, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. Tomorrow, I’ll proceed as usual, and if anything changes, I’ll report to you promptly."

Li Jingsheng felt reassured.

After handling this matter, he hurriedly ate breakfast and then checked the messages on his phone.

Most of them were from Lian Tao and Ou Qinglan.

There was also a message from Luo Binggang, asking him to go to People’s Hospital after work today to participate in a clinical trial.

Using massage and manipulation to assist guidewires in passing through difficult obstacles.

After multiple studies, significant progress had already been made.

Ou Qinglan worked the night shift last night.

She’s resting during the day today.

She said she was exhausted and wanted to go home for a good sleep and would come to Li Jingsheng’s clinic after she woke up.

It’s indeed exhausting for doctors to work night shifts.

Older doctors can’t handle it at all.

That’s why night shifts are basically covered by young people.

Lian Tao sent two confirmed cases and a nutritional support plan for both enteral and parenteral nutrition.

The patient with a tumor within a tumor was confirmed through puncture and pathological biopsy that there was indeed a malignant tumor growing inside the leiomyoma. Partial esophagectomy has been planned.

After the resection, further pathological testing must be done.

As long as there is no metastasis, generally, it’s not a big issue.

The second confirmed case was the teenager with strange chest pain.

After laryngoscopy, a rupture was finally discovered in the esophagus, and a bone was found.

It didn’t look like a fishbone; it seemed to be a bone from chicken or duck.

Upon questioning the patient, he said that three years ago, while eating duck, a bone got stuck in his throat. It hurt a bit at the time, but he ignored it, and it slowly went away.
