After being lectured by Li Jingsheng, Jin Yanyu lowered his head.
Even though he was unwilling, he didn’t dare push any further.
He knew very well that if Li Jingsheng was unwilling to teach him, there was no point in asking anyone else.
"Doctor, can we see the doctor now?"
There was a patient outside who was getting impatient from the wait.
Many people might have come as early as four or five in the morning just to queue up for a consultation.
But the slots for Li Jingsheng were extremely limited.
Because he only held consultations here three days a week, and to ensure the quality of care, he had to put a cap on the number of patients each day. Otherwise, he couldn’t finish treating all the patients even if he exhausted himself.
Fortunately, his protégés, Ye Hui and Yang Luqing, were rapidly growing and could already handle some simple tasks.
Jin Yanyu and Liu Xian were also making progress.
Liu Xian had great talent in every aspect, but his overly introverted personality worried Li Jingsheng, so he was still under observation.
Otherwise, if Li Jingsheng were willing to teach him, Liu Xian could probably catch up to Yang Luqing in less than two months.
Talent is actually quite important.
"Teacher Li, is the registration complete?"
"Yes, it’s all done."
Li Li nodded.
"Come in! Is it a leg problem?"
Li Jingsheng saw that the patient needed assistance from a family member and had a peculiar walking pattern, where the right knee was extended straight without any bending.
Someone who wasn’t aware might think they were practicing a ceremonial march.
But it didn’t quite look like it either!
Even as the patient’s left leg walked, it seemed stiff.
"I don’t know what’s wrong with my right leg; it just suddenly won’t bend."
The patient described their symptoms.
"Did you experience any cramping in your leg before this?"
Li Jingsheng took the film to examine it but didn’t see any obvious fractures or joint injuries.
"Yes, exactly! Everyone says your medical skills here are excellent, and it seems I came to the right place today."
Upon hearing Li Jingsheng correctly identify his early symptoms, the patient was quite thrilled.
"We lined up at the hospital before 4 a.m., and two scalpers even tried to attack us."
The patient’s wife, in her forties, looked like a simple countrywoman.
Her words caused a slight stir in Li Jingsheng’s heart.
He marveled at the difficulty patients face in seeking medical help.
At the same time, he felt angry about the scalpers.
Scalpers are pervasive in every hospital, and in some hospitals, if you want to see a doctor, you have to buy from them; otherwise, you’ll never get an expert appointment before the hospital closes.
"My appointments can be booked online! Did you come from out of town?"
