"Lin Jie, I'm really sorry!"
Luo Shanshan rushed over to apologize as soon as Lin Jie walked into the clinic, "I didn't expect my father to act that way. I originally thought he just wanted to congratulate you."
Lin Jie gave a gentle smile and said, "Sister Shanshan, I truly didn't mind, really!"
He further explained, "Uncle Luo's actions yesterday were like giving us and the major hospitals in Binhai City a heads-up in advance, which is better than sudden, secret actions catching us off guard."
Luo Shanshan let out a bitter smile, "Maybe things have been going too smoothly these past few years, and my father has beco increasingly domineering, liking to use power to suppress others! Sigh..."
Thinking about how Luo Wantong added two billion to buy Phoenix Mountain Hospital and ca up with a ti-limited discounted price, Lin Jie felt that this wealthy and bold man really had character.
"This is also a display of absolute strength. Anlin Hospital can't do sothing like this even if they wanted to!"
Lin Jie and Luo Shanshan walked up the stairs step by step!
"Sister Shanshan, Binhai University made an exception for , allowing to enroll in the spring. This ans that after the Spring Festival, I won't be able to attend to the clinic here except perhaps on weekends or when there's sothing important!"
This news was specifically told to him by Ren Maoshi yesterday, with the intention of easing the relationship between the two.
Lin Jie stopped walking, turned around, and looked at Luo Shanshan, saying, "After all, the clinic serves a limited population with few patients, and even fewer special cases. Plus, given the limited conditions, at most, we can perform minor surgeries like appendectomies or C-sections!"
"This isn't conducive to expanding your experience or enhancing your skills! Sister Shanshan, do you have any plans for your future?"
Luo Shanshan didn't respond directly; instead, she said, "I suppose you've heard about my father's past."
"He started with smuggling. Back then, when the situation seed unfavorable, he went abroad."
"He thought he'd never be able to co back. My building this clinic here was both my wish and my father's hope, aiming to take care of the local community."
She revealed a relieved smile, saying, "A few months ago, soone suddenly conveyed a ssage to my father, saying the past would be forgiven. And so, my father returned."
After a mont of silence, Luo Shanshan continued, "As for my future, my father wants to spend this ti learning more about hospital managent so that when Dr. Lirell becos the director, I can serve as his assistant."
"After all, the national context is complex, and there are quite a few differences between dostic managent and international managent. I can act as a coordinator to prevent Dr. Lirell from having cultural adaptation difficulties."
Lin Jie understood that Luo Shanshan was developing towards a managent path.
He sowhat understood Luo Shanshan's choice. With such good family conditions, being a purely practicing doctor might seem like a waste to outsiders.
Today, the clinic had relatively more patients, mainly because the sudden cold weather led to more cases of cold and fever.
The weather outside gradually turned gloomy, showing signs of snow.
Lin Jie's work was relatively leisurely, only conducting routine checks on a few people.
Xu Ling's skin grafts were all alive, not even showing necrotic spots, and she could go ho after a couple of days when the stitches are removed.
In fact, Xu Ling could already go ho now.
This was just a minor surgery, and after these few days of recovery, it no longer affected her daily activities.
It's just that the clinic's environnt was relatively better, with air conditioning and internet, plus Zhu Qiang would often co over to please her, making Xu Ling sowhat reluctant to leave.
Lin Jie called over Zhu Ziwen to check on the recovery of his little finger.
After a few months of recovery, his reattached little finger could already flex and extend freely, though there was still numbness at the fingertip.
This numbness was because the nerves at the junction were not fully recovered. The nervous system heals the slowest, taking at least half a year to show significant improvent.
Regarding the recovery level of Zhu Ziwen's little finger, it could be considered nearly perfect.
Lin Jie also checked on Su Xiaohui's broken bone recovery.
Through X-ray examination, it was found that Su Xiaohui's bone healing matched the expectations, with no obvious evidence of bone union overgrowth or displacent at the fracture site.
When getting off work in the evening, the gloomy sky finally began to sprinkle tiny snowflakes. This was the first snowfall of the year in Binhai City, arriving a little later than usual!
Braving the small snowflakes, Lin Jie drove back to the city.
On the road, he received a call from Zhang Xiaoxiao, learning that Zhang uncle's examination results were out.
The situation wasn't good. Besides the nerve there not being properly reconnected, resulting in atrophy and necrosis, so muscles and spongy tissues weren't reconnected properly either. To fully heal, besides transplanting a segnt of nerve, so muscles and spongy tissues would need to be re-cut and reattached.
"Ah Jie, do you think we can sue Tongren Hospital? After all, they didn't perform the surgery well?"
Lin Jie pondered for a mont and said, "This wouldn't count as a surgical accident. Because the hospital did achieve replantation viability, which is considered a successful surgery. It's just that the prognosis isn't very ideal."
"We can try to communicate with Tongren Hospital, but we shouldn't hold out too much hope!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao said in a depressed tone, "I understand. I will first try to communicate with them and hope they can cover so of the costs for my father's second surgery."
"Ah Jie, I've finally co to understand why people are always desperate to get experts and famous doctors to perform surgeries. Different lead surgeons can lead to vastly different postoperative recovery results!"
After Lin Jie drove into the city area, the snowflakes suddenly beca a bit larger.
However, the snowflakes lted as soon as they hit the ground, losing any bit of aesthetic.
When he got ho, he found Lin Miao was already there, standing by the living room's floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the falling snowflakes outside!
"Brother, you're back! It's snowing. Was the road okay to drive on?"
Lin Jie suddenly noticed that Lin Miao, walking towards him with a smile, had a slight limp, prompting him to ask worriedly, "Miaomiao, what's wrong with your left leg?"
"Oh, my left leg?"
Lin Miao looked down at her left leg and then up at Lin Jie, giggling sowhat guiltily, "Today, when I was out shopping with Li Ting, I suddenly fell, but it's okay!"
"Brother, we bought swimsuits and beach shorts, and also sothing for you..."
Lin Jie had no interest in her shopping stories, quickly walking to her side and asking with deep concern, "What do you an by suddenly falling?"
"Was soone pushing you, did you slip, or did sothing trip you? Or did you just fall for no reason?"
Seeing his serious questioning, Lin Miao hesitated, "Brother, let ... think about it!"
"At that ti, nobody pushed , and I didn't trip over anything. It seems like I just suddenly went down, fell for no reason!"
This statent made Lin Jie even more tense.
Lin Miao had undergone cranial surgery, and this sudden fall without warning is a sign of the brain suddenly losing control of the body, which is not a good sign!
Lin Jie collected his thoughts, not wanting to scare Lin Miao, and said with a smile, "Miaomiao, let check your balance ability now. Do as I say!"
"Stretch both arms out and bend your left leg, using your right leg to support your body. Very good, doing great!"
Lin Jie then held up a finger, placing it 20 centiters in front of Lin Miao's eyes, "Keep this position and follow my finger with your eyes!"
Lin Jie moved the finger left and right, and Lin Miao's eyes followed the movent.
During this process, Lin Miao, standing on one leg with arms stretched, didn't exhibit noticeable swaying.
The result of this check made Lin Jie breathe a slight sigh of relief.
But to ensure no surprises, he said with a grin, "Miaomiao, I just rembered you haven't had a dical check-up in a while. I'll take you to the hospital for a check now!"
At this mont, Lin Miao also realized sothing was wrong and timidly asked, "Brother, are you taking for a check because I fell? It's unnecessary, my knee just got a little scraped, and I've already disinfected and applied dicine."
Lin Jie fibbed, "It's not because of the fall... just a routine health check-up."
Lin Miao pouted, "Brother, you're lying. You stretch your words when you lie. You're taking for a check-up because I fell, aren't you?"
Seeing his lie exposed, Lin Jie admitted helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Don't be afraid! Falling for no reason can have many causes, like being distracted or not noticing a slippery surface."
"One possibility is that the brain temporarily lost control over the body! This chance is very small, but since you had cranial surgery before, I'm taking you for a check just in case."
To strengthen his persuasion, Lin Jie repeated, "It's really just a precaution, don't be scared!"
"I'm not scared!"
Lin Miao bit her lip and said tentatively, "Brother, don't be mad! I didn't fall for no reason; I... I did it on purpose!"
