The old man lives frugally and collects scraps to sell every day. It is not because he cannot afford to eat, but he saves his money to secretly support needy children in mountainous areas.
In some remote and poor areas, the living conditions of children are very poor. For ordinary children, going to school is a luxury. There are various reasons why they have difficulty in studying.
Transportation is inconvenient, and it may take two or three hours to walk across mountains and rivers from home to school.
The family is in difficulty and their parents are not at home, so they depend on their grandparents at a young age. There is a lot of farm work to do.
For example, helping the family farm, cut pig grass, feed cattle, etc.
These children are eager to read and use knowledge to change their destiny.
But this kind of local method is very difficult. No teachers are willing to go there, the school lacks funds, etc.
The 10,000 yuan donated by this old man may be enough to cover the food expenses of dozens of children and teachers for a month. Or you can install electric lights and transparent glass windows in the classroom.
"The money has been picked up for you, please keep it."
Li Jingsheng returned the money and the remittance slip to the old man.
"You pick up scraps and sell them to donate to Hope Primary School!"
he asked with infinite respect.
"Those little kids are pitiful. The classroom is leaky in winter and rainy in summer. The teachers and students just eat potatoes. They can't even chew a piece of steamed bun. After I saw it on TV, I wanted to help those kids. I My retirement salary is more than 8,000 yuan a month. Before my wife passed away, her pension was more than 5,000 yuan. We donate 10,000 yuan every month, which can at least provide those children with meat and ensure that their classrooms are airtight and airtight. Rain leaks.
After my wife passed away, my pension was not enough, so I thought about using my spare energy to pick up some scraps to sell.
I can sell more than a thousand in a month.
Now that I'm familiar with it, it won't be a problem to sell more than two thousand a month.
If you think of a way, you can get 10,000 and send it over. "
The old man's words were very simple.
It was as if he had done such a great and selfless thing, as if he had done something trivial.
Li Jingsheng felt as if his soul had been deeply cleansed.
Not all old people have turned bad.
There are also many elderly people who are particularly great.
At this time, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a wound on the side of the index finger of his right hand when the old man was receiving the money.
Because the hands of the elderly are relatively dirty, it is difficult to detect them without looking carefully.
"Let me look at your hands!"
Li Jingsheng grabbed the old man's right hand and looked at it carefully.
The wound should be quite deep, and there is still some redness and swelling around it.
"When did you get this injury on your hand? How did you get it?"
He thought hard and couldn't figure out the cause.
The answer seemed to be found at this moment.
"I accidentally got cut when I was picking up scraps. I didn't feel much at all at the time. Later I felt a little pain when I went home and washed my hands. The cut must have been more than ten days ago! I have also been cut and stabbed usually, and it usually lasts for a while. It’ll be fine. The injury may be deeper this time, so it will heal a little slower.”
The old man explained without paying much attention.
He doesn't care, Li Jingsheng does!
When picking up waste, experienced scavengers rarely use their hands to dig through it directly. Instead, they use a pair of pliers to rummage through it.
This will prevent your hands from being scratched.
It can also avoid direct contact of hands with garbage full of bacteria, viruses and pollutants to the greatest extent.
This old man was not originally in this industry. Because his retirement salary was less than 10,000 yuan, he wanted to pick up scraps and sell them.
He didn't know how dangerous it was to dig through the trash can with his hands.
I've been fine with cuts and stabbings before, that's just luck.
I'm afraid I'm going to suffer this time.
You might even lose your life.
"Let me clean your wound first. Your current physical condition may be related to this wound."
Li Jingsheng asked Tang Ping to bring alcohol and clean the wound and surrounding area for the old man.
Then I saw that the wound was slightly red and swollen, but there was no suppuration.
There are signs of healing.
"Young man, I know you are a good person and trustworthy, so I came to see you for medical treatment. If someone told me that a small wound on my hand could cause me to have difficulty swallowing and tremble all over, I would definitely not believe it."
The elderly do not understand medical knowledge and find it difficult to understand why a small injury on the hand can cause multiple discomforts throughout the body.
Maybe he felt that these words were a bit flattering to Li Jingsheng, so the old man added.
"Didn't a homeless man get hit outside two days ago?"
"Um!"
"I know that homeless man. He is a mute. When I first picked up waste, I gained very little. He took me to pick it up a few times, and then I gradually gained more and more. After he was hit, I got the news and rushed over. At that time, I happened to see you coming to help him from a distance. After that time, I decided that you were a good person. I already knew that you opened a clinic here, but I didn’t trust the doctors in the clinic before. They like to cheat money. The Kuai Kang Clinic not far away has tricked me twice."
The old man's words left Li Jingsheng speechless for a while.
Who would have thought that an old man scavenging would be so familiar with this area, much more familiar than he, an outsider who has been running a clinic for more than nine months.
Even the old man knew that Kuai Kang Clinic was very dark.
If Boss Zhao happened to come over today, he would probably collapse to the ground on the spot.
After all, many people praise Kuai Kang Clinic for its superb medical skills and good services.
A grain of mouse droppings spoils the whole pot of porridge.
After the old man suffered a loss at Kuaikang Clinic, he no longer trusts any clinic.
If he hadn't happened to see Li Jingsheng helping the beggar that day, the old man would definitely not have gone to his clinic to seek medical treatment when he got sick.
In fact, many people now have a similar mentality to the elderly.
Go to a regular hospital to see a doctor. There are a lot of various examinations and you have to queue up, which is time-consuming, laborious and expensive. If you have a serious illness, you have no choice but to go to a big hospital for help.
But if you have a minor illness, such as a cold, fever, headache, cough, etc., who is willing to take a day off and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to go to the hospital for treatment?
Instead of going to a big hospital, go to a small clinic. It's more convenient, but you're afraid of being cheated.
Of course, in the end, most people choose to buy some medicine on their own at pharmacies or go to clinics for medical treatment.
Affordability and convenience are the biggest advantages of clinics and pharmacies.
"Thank you for recognizing me so much. Let's continue talking about your illness! Have you been urinating normally in the past two days? Have you experienced oliguria or inability to urinate?"
"Hey, I didn't expect that your medical skills are quite good! It's been a bit difficult for me to urinate these past two days. I have the urge to urinate, but I can't relieve myself."
The old man's eyes looked at him with some changes.
This young man has high medical ethics, but he also has very good medical skills.
This made the old man trust Li Jingsheng even more.
"I highly suspect that your illness is tetanus. This disease is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani and is usually contracted after an injury. You are now experiencing muscle stiffness and body tremors, as well as increased blood pressure. , rapid heart rate, and urine retention. These symptoms are consistent with tetanus. I recommend that you go to a large hospital for treatment immediately. If you go late, your life may be in danger."
Li Jingsheng said to the old man with a serious face.
After being infected with tetanus, you usually have difficulty chewing at first and it will be particularly strenuous. The teeth are so tight that it is difficult to open the mouth, and a special expression of a wry smile appears on the face.
But there was no such expression on the old man's face.
It may also be because you are older, your skin is sagging and there are more wrinkles, so this wry smile is not obvious.
As the disease progresses, a large number of Clostridium tetanus breeds and destroys the body. Patients will experience muscle tightness in the neck, back, abdomen, and limbs, and body tremors.
At this time, there are often difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, urine retention, and muscle contraction.
In severe cases, limb fractures may even occur.
Moreover, one characteristic of tetanus is that when the onset is rapid, it is often particularly dangerous and the prognosis is extremely poor.
If the disease progresses slowly, the prognosis is good as long as it is treated promptly.
Li Jingsheng believed that the old man's disease progressed relatively slowly, but it had already progressed to the second stage.
You must go to a major hospital for hospitalization immediately.
Otherwise you will probably lose your life.
"At my age, even if something happens, it won't be short-lived. I'm very open-minded. It costs a lot of money to go to a big hospital, so I won't treat it."
The old man said, taking out the stack of money from his pocket with trembling hands.
"How much does it cost for you to see a doctor for me?"
"No, no, no. The medical treatment here is free and we don't charge money. You only need to pay for medicine."
How could Li Jingsheng accept the old man's money?
"Uncle, you must need treatment for this disease. You have retirement salary, and you must have bought medical insurance. It doesn't cost much. I will call you a car and ask the driver to take you to the second hospital for treatment.
"Taking a taxi is expensive. It's only a few steps from here to the Second Hospital. I can just walk there."
Seeing that Li Jingsheng was determined not to charge, the uncle gave up.
He picked up the bag of waste and stood up holding on to the examination table.
"Young man, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
The old man walked outside.
Li Jingsheng caught up a few steps, and at this moment another patient came in to buy medicine from him.
"Wait a moment, I'll see this old man off."
Li Jingsheng said apologetically to the patient.
"fine."
Patients are very understanding.
In fact, most people will support actions that are true, good, and beautiful.
Li Jingsheng rushed to the road and stopped a taxi with his hand.
"Master, how much does it cost to go to the Second Hospital?"
"About 10 yuan! Anyway, the meter usually costs 10 yuan."
"I'll give you 50 yuan. After you take this old man to the second hospital, you can send him to the emergency department for a check-up. Do you think that's okay?"
The driver hesitated.
"My uncle's son is not around. You just need to send him to the emergency department, register him, and then take him to the doctor. This won't take you much time. Twenty minutes at most is enough."
Li Jingsheng works as a driver.
"Okay, okay! Please help the old man get into the car. Don't fall. I can't bear that responsibility."
The driver, a young man, eventually took over the job.
Many taxi drivers and online ride-hailing drivers are afraid of picking up lonely elderly people.
The main reason is that I fell when I was getting on and off the car and I couldn't bear the responsibility.
Moreover, cases of elderly people touching porcelain frequently occur, causing drivers to avoid the elderly people when they see them.
Otherwise, your car will drive by without incident, and the person will lie down on the ground. The road section with surveillance will be fine. If there is no monitoring, it will be a big problem.
After Li Jingsheng helped the old man into the car, he warned, "Uncle, this master said that we are on our way anyway. He doesn't want your money and will send you to the second hospital."
The driver was slightly stunned after hearing this.
Then his expression changed a little.
It’s hard to say, but there is a radiance on his face.
He must have been touched by Li Jingsheng's kind deeds.
Li Jingsheng breathed a sigh of relief after watching the taxi leave. He would never dare to prescribe medicine to this old man, otherwise if someone died at home, his small clinic would be in big trouble.
Spending 50 yuan to call a car for the old man to take him to a big hospital not only saved him a lot of trouble, but also helped this great and selfless old man.
He turned around and entered the clinic to diagnose and prescribe a prescription for the waiting patient.
Just a regular stomachache.
His proficiency in gastroenterology diagnosis was not a no-brainer. After diagnosis, he finally believed that the patient had ordinary acute gastritis.
Cimetidine was prescribed to suppress gastric acid and aluminum magnesium carbonate to protect the gastric mucosa.
Instruct the patient to come to him for follow-up consultation or go to the hospital for examination in time if he still has stomach pain or other symptoms after taking the medicine.
Gastritis is divided into acute and chronic.
In Li Jingsheng's opinion, ordinary acute gastritis is easier to treat.
Some chronic gastritis lasts for a long time, and it may no longer be superficial gastritis, but may turn into gastric ulcer. There is also a more troublesome type of chronic gastritis, caused by Helicobacter pylori, and this treatment is more troublesome.
Mainly because it is easy to relapse.
Helicobacter pylori not only causes bad breath, but is also one of the main culprits in gastric cancer.
However, the incidence rate of this disease is as high as 50%.
Testing for this disease is not complicated, and the results can be obtained quickly by doing a breath test. Treatment is not difficult, but the most troublesome thing is that it relapses easily and is difficult to cure.
After dealing with this patient, Li Jingsheng could finally sit down, take a break and drink some water.
Tang Ping came over.
"Boss, you clearly gave the taxi driver money just now. Why did you tell the old man that the driver took him along the way?"
"The old man is very disciplined. Wouldn't it be better if such a white lie can make it easier for him to accept it?"
Li Jingsheng blinked and answered with a smile.
"But you obviously gave him the money but didn't tell him. People don't even know you helped him."
Tang Ping found it difficult to understand.
People are either seeking fame or profit.
How can anyone foolishly spend money to do good deeds and not tell others?
"Why should I let him know that I helped him? You, on the other hand, were obviously in the clinic, and there were customers buying medicine at the time. You could see clearly enough from such a distance!"
Li Jingsheng was criticizing her for not paying attention at work and looking around.
"Hehe, I didn't delay my work! That customer is really annoying. He is obviously a man. Buying a health medicine is even more annoying than us women buying clothes. He compares his price, and I will judge mine."
Tang Ping was not very afraid of Li Jingsheng.
At least she knew that her boss wouldn't really scold her for such a small thing.
At most, it’s just a reminder.
"Boss, if you want to hire a new employee this time, can you hire someone who can sell medicine? I can do my job as a nurse, but I really can't bear to deal with some difficult customers."
If it weren't for a few taels of silver, who would be willing to smile and bend?
Nurses are originally technical workers, not waiters.
Her personality is also not suited to dealing with difficult customers.
Seeing how Boss Zhao was trying to trick her, you could tell that she had no power to fight back except hiding.
Some women are not naturally aggressive or aggressive.
"Okay, we must focus on the opinions put forward by our Dean Tang. When the time comes, I will try to choose a medical student who understands sales."
Li Jingsheng called Dean Tang, which made her laugh again.
"Thank you, Dean!"
She also naughtily imitated the concubines in costume dramas and gave a thank you gift.
Li Jingsheng couldn't help but laugh too.
By the way, the job advertisements have been posted for a while, but no one has come in to apply?
I'm afraid not many medical students are willing to enter a small clinic.
Only some medical students who have failed the examination or cannot find a regular training hospital are willing to come to small clinics for a while.
…
By five o'clock in the afternoon, there were even more young people on the street.
Many of them just got off work.
Li Jingsheng is looking forward to someone coming in to apply.
Because this afternoon was particularly busy, there was an endless stream of people buying medicine. Occasionally, one or two doctors came in, and the small clinic immediately seemed to be under manpower.
"Haha, Dr. Li is great!"
A familiar voice came from outside.
At first glance, it was Boss Zhao coming over.
Supported by Xiao Gao, he was holding two bottles of... wine.
Li Jingsheng didn't expect Boss Zhao to be discharged from the hospital so quickly. He wanted the old boy to stay for a while longer.
Boss Zhao was hospitalized recently, and the business of Sunshine Clinic is surprisingly good.
It is undeniable that this old boy has a bad character, but his business ability is very strong.
"Ms. Tang, long time no see. Did you miss me?"
After Boss Zhao greeted Li Jingsheng, his eyes lit up when he saw Tang Ping, and then he teased her with a smile.
Tang Ping was a little afraid of him. She lowered her head and sorted the medicines on the counter, pretending not to hear.
"Boss Zhao is in very good health. He recovered and was discharged from the hospital in just a few days! Nothing serious, right?"
Li Jingsheng has now established a certain relationship with Dr. Xu and Director Mu of the Second Hospital, and is protected by Brother Qiu, who has a mysterious background. When he faces the local boss Zhao again, he is much more calm and confident.
"Haha, thanks to you, I just have a small heart problem. It may be... too hot that day, so I fainted. My old Zhao is a person with a clear sense of grudges. These are two bottles of Maotai given to me by a friend, and I have been reluctant to part with them. Drink, I brought it here specially for you today. Thank you brother for your life-saving grace that day."
Boss Zhao couldn't help but put two bottles of wine on Li Jingsheng's consultation table.
A bottle of Maotai costs at least more than a thousand, and the more expensive ones cost several thousand.
As soon as he made the move, he gave two bottles to Li Jingsheng, which surprised Li Jingsheng.
He looked at the two bottles of wine and thought to himself, "Could it be a fake bar?"
Boss Zhao seemed to be able to penetrate his mind and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the wine is definitely real. It doesn't matter whether you drink it yourself or give it to your boss."
"Boss Zhao, I can't ask for this wine. I accept your offer. It was just a simple effort to save you that day, no need to be polite."
Li Jingsheng doesn't drink either.
He didn't want to get involved with Boss Zhao, because he had suffered more losses at the hands of this person than the girl he had a crush on.
He was really scared of Boss Zhao.
After collecting these two bottles of wine, we became even more entangled in the future.
"Brother, listen to me, I, Lao Zhao, did something unethical in the past. But that was for everyone's own benefit. I don't think there is anything wrong. I gave you these two bottles of wine sincerely. Thank you for your life-saving grace, and I also apologize for the things I did against you. I promise not to deal with you again in the future. This street will be your Sunshine Clinic, my Kuaikang Clinic, and Boss Ye from now on. There are three Jingui Clinics in our country, and everyone does their own business without interfering with each other."
Boss Zhao said in a very serious tone.
It's surprising.
Listening to the meaning of these words, he took the initiative to admit the existence of Sunshine Clinic and would not do anything evil again in the future.
