Chapter 518 - 240: Misdiagnosed Arthritis—Dr. Ruan’s Grievance
"Right, how much do you owe Xiaoyue? I’ll help you pay it off first. Next time you need money and really don’t want mine, just borrow from me."
Li Jingsheng could understand her stubbornness and pride.
Rich girls tend to be proud, clinging to their fragile pride even in difficult times.
Only after experiencing setbacks and major blows do they truly transform.
But Li Jingsheng hoped that day would never come.
As long as he was around, he was willing to protect her forever, letting her continue being naive and sweet.
"My parents knew about this, and surely paid off the debt. As for borrowing money from you, I don’t think it’ll be necessary. I’m about to finish my residency training, and once I graduate, my income will be sufficient to support my life."
The salary for trainees was low, but resident doctors’ salaries were indeed much higher.
Most ordinary resident doctors could earn over six thousand.
The exceptional ones, like Li Jingsheng before his promotion to attending, earned twenty to thirty thousand a month, even higher than attending doctors’ income.
...
The next day, he went to the Second Hospital for consultations as usual.
Not long after he started, there were angry shouts outside.
There was some trouble with a patient or their family.
This kind of thing happened often in hospitals.
Li Jingsheng carried on with his patient, not paying attention. After a while, he heard someone shouting, "Call the police, call the police!"
At this moment, he realized the situation might be serious.
Under normal circumstances, patients or family members just cursing or even banging on tables wouldn’t lead doctors to call the police.
Only if they smashed things or hit someone would doctors call the police.
Li Jingsheng quickly went out to check the situation.
As a medical staff, encountering a patient or family member hitting someone, he definitely had to stand together to stop the assault.
When he reached the corridor, he saw many people gathered at the entrance of Orthopedics Clinic 4.
Inside, it seemed there was a fight or a dispute going on.
He quickly rushed in and saw a tall young male patient losing his temper, while a young girl was holding him tightly.
The girl’s height barely reached the man’s armpits.
It’s not that she was short, but the man was over 1.9 meters tall. Eyeballing it, he should be around 1.95 meters.
Wearing a sports vest, the muscles on his exposed arms seemed strong.
Not overly muscular but with a streamlined build.
"Whatever it is, talk it over nicely, anger won’t solve any issues."
Li Jingsheng wasn’t considered short himself, but still shorter when standing in front of this man.
The doctor inside was Ruan Xiaoqin.
As a seasoned attending physician, it’s not surprising for him to be handling consultations in the clinic.
Recently, the orthopedic department was busy, causing the director and deputy director physicians to be really occupied, with attendings as the backbone of the department’s general consultations.
"Your hospital devours people without spitting out bones, killing without paying for lives, how am I supposed to talk calmly?" The man spoke extremely angrily.
Especially when he glared at Ruan Xiaoqin, his look was particularly fierce.
A deputy chief physician was also mediating in the clinic.
However, this deputy chief physician was not tall, only about 1.65 meters, shorter by a head than the angry man.
Plus, he was in his fifties, naturally lacking in intimidation power.
"You can eat indiscriminately, but speak with caution, okay? How did I trick you? Treating you, and in the end still being repaid with ingratitude, really!"
Ruan Xiaoqin was known for being smooth, not often taking losses.
Especially adept at handling patients.
Today encountering someone who resorted to action with a towering build, he was somewhat intimidated.
He had already hidden behind a chair.
Afraid of being hit.
Sometimes when doctors are injured by patients, even though it would eventually involve police and arrest, it mars the dignity of the doctors and could affect work.
Imagine if a doctor sat for consultations with a slap mark on his face and bruises; what would patients and families think?
They would think, this doctor must have been beaten up.
"I’ll beat the hell out of you, you quack!"
The man was furious, trying again to punch, held tightly by his girlfriend.
Li Jingsheng also grabbed him.
Luckily, he was young and strong, not lacking in strength.
Managed to hold the angry patient.
The deputy chief physician seemed to be from Chen Anchen’s group, named Zheng, apparently shrank into a corner upon seeing violence.
Seeing his timidity, Li Jingsheng really doubted if the patient truly took action, this Director Zheng might retreat directly into the examining room.
In Zheng He’s era, voyages were majestically bold, and this generation became cowardly like this.
Though Li Jingsheng was also timid at times, when truly facing a problem, he never feared.
The reception nurse had already called the police and hospital security.
"Could you tell us the whole story?"
Li Jingsheng calmed the agitated patient while giving Ruan Xiaoqin a meaningful look.
Ruan Xiaoqin understood.
Knew it meant for him to leave.
However, seeing the patient guarding the door, and glaring aggressively, he hesitated.
What if he were beaten?
Looking at that man’s imposing build, no one could likely stop him.
Wouldn’t it be offering himself up for a hit?
Ruan Xiaoqin’s eyes rolled, glancing at the open clinic door and the patient, but dared not move.
"Dr. Ruan, why don’t you invite Professor Wu to handle this?"
Li Jingsheng entered and found no doctors hurt, knowing it wasn’t a major issue.
The hospital usually addressed such matters as peacekeepers.
"Come on, sit down and talk. At the hospital, we will definitely help you resolve this. You’re not satisfied with this doctor, so he can invite a senior doctor."
