The training cycle for a cardiovascular medicine doctor is comparable to cardiac surgery and neurosurgery. Though it's just a tertiary discipline, a med student must learn internal medicine, diagnostics, cardiology, electrocardiography, and practical skills to truly become a doctor.
Experience in handling and diagnosing various common cardiovascular diseases must be accumulated individually.
Five or six years to get started, ten years to achieve minor success, and twenty to thirty years to truly master it and have the ability to stand alone.
If Li Jingsheng had an unlimited amount of life points and could increase them without limit, it would be quite terrifying.
By then, the small Sunshine Clinic would gain fame in Jiangli City and possibly be renowned nationwide.
Besides learning a highly advanced diagnosis skill, his skill level and life points each increased by 100 points.
He couldn't believe it was real.
It is extremely difficult to increase skill levels. After working for so many years, he's only at 189.5/500 as a junior resident. But after saving this old lady, his skill level skyrocketed by 100 points.
Because after sewing Master Liu's wound, he specifically checked the attribute panel, so he's 100% sure that these 100 skill level points were added after saving the old lady.
Was it because saving a life is as virtuous as building a seven-level pagoda, or was it due to the thrilling rescue from diagnosis to saving lives, greatly enhancing his independent diagnostic ability, that added so many skill points?
There's no way to figure it out.
Because there is no detailed record of the gained skill level points.
Anyway, it's a good thing.
As long as he encounters such a situation a couple more times, his skill level can be promoted from junior resident to senior resident.
The benefits of each level advancement in medical technology have already given him great satisfaction.
The difficulty of upgrading physician levels is apparently higher, so the benefits coming from it would presumably be greater.
Li Jingsheng deeply admired those attending physicians when he worked in the hospital, aspiring to become one someday. Later, after quitting his hospital job and opening his clinic, the hope of ever becoming an attending physician seemed bleak.
But now, as long as he works diligently and quietly, anything is possible.
Apart from the skill level skyrocketing by 100 points, the life points also increased by 100 points, which delighted him more than winning a five-million prize.
What he lacks the most now is life points.
A full 100 points is undoubtedly a 'fortune' in his eyes.
Now, totaling 112 life points, with proper planning it's enough to enhance ten or twenty medical skills.
He didn't waste these life points recklessly like a nouveau riche.
Instead, he plans to carefully allocate these 112 life points to maximize their value.
Good steel must be used on the blade.
Having this large amount of life points also makes him much more composed facing other competitors.
How the 100 life points were gained is also a mystery.
Only known that it was obtained from treating that old lady.
"Tonight was full of dangers, but the rewards are unimaginable, perfectly proportional to the efforts. Treating that old lady was heart-pounding, but worth it. Having such patients ten or eight times is not too much; two or three times would be just right."
The evening breeze blew refreshingly over his face, making his mind clearer than ever.
He seriously pondered about future developments and ways to quickly get the clinic out of its current predicament.
Behind him, a rhythmic "da da da" sound echoed.
Moreover, it was getting closer.
Li Jingsheng has just undergone a bizarre event, still recovering from the shock, when the sound of high heels suddenly emerged from behind in the silent, deserted nighttime road. He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and the cool evening breeze became chilly.
In ghost stories, it's often mentioned not to turn back at night randomly, and when someone calls you, don't agree.
As it may be a vengeful spirit seeking a substitute.
A turn or agreement would fall into the trap.
Generally, he doesn't believe in ghost talk, yet at this moment feels uneasy.
"Normally, this street isn't this quiet; there are always a few pedestrians, vehicles passing by the road. Why is no one here today?"
It's of course related to the time.
Past nine o'clock, pedestrians on many streets become sparse. Only the streets leading to shopping areas and night markets remain bustling with people and cars.
Li Jingsheng maintained a steady pace, but the woman in high heels seemed to quicken her steps.
Quickly catching up to him, she accelerated past him.
Round-neck white T-shirt, black cropped pants, red high heels. A black small shoulder bag hung over her right shoulder, firmly held with her right hand. Her long hair fluttered, revealing a slim waist; her makeup was pretty exquisite from the side view.
While passing beside Li Jingsheng, she also observed him from the corner of her eye.
She even intentionally widened the distance, full of caution towards Li Jingsheng.
Seeing her as vigilant as if facing a major enemy, Li Jingsheng instead breathed a sigh of relief, a slight self-mockery smile unintentionally appeared on his face.
Her fear towards Li Jingsheng indicates she's surely not 'something evil'.
Honestly, this woman looks beautiful from any angle, whether side views or from behind.
Perhaps noticing Li Jingsheng's 'malicious smile' towards her, she hurried even faster.
Avoiding Li Jingsheng while walking, she's already very close to the road shoulder.
At this moment, focusing most of her attention on monitoring the 'malicious' stranger, eager to escape him, her pace was extraordinarily swift.
It could only be said that human potential is indeed limitless.
Hardly believable, a lady can walk so swiftly in seven to eight cm high heels.
Her speed could rival sprinting.
Li Jingsheng instinctively touched his nose, "Do I look that aggressive?"
He realized the slender woman failed to notice the street lamp ahead due to her swift pace and occasionally checking if Li Jingsheng was chasing her.
"Hey... watch out for the collision!"
Li Jingsheng shouted to warn her.
Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect, seemingly terrifying the lady even more, hastening her pace.
Bang!
"Ouch... wuwu..."
This pretty lady met a tragic fate, showcasing a human high-speed collision with a street lamp pole right in front of Li Jingsheng.
She immediately covered her face, lying on the ground, wailing in pain.
Li Jingsheng suppressed his unethical laughter, quickly stepping forward to examine her injuries.
This increased the woman's fear.
"Don't come near!"
Speaking simultaneously, she gripped a bottle of pepper spray, spraying randomly at Li Jingsheng.
"Miss, I'm not a bad guy! I am the owner of Sunshine Clinic on Old Street of South City! Are you alright?"
Li Jingsheng is well aware of the power of pepper spray; its primary ingredient is pure natural capsaicin extract, highly irritant. Even a tiny bit on the face causes unbearable pain, streaming tears, uncontrollable coughing, and a burning sensation over the face and respiratory tract, directly disabling one's resistance ability.
It's not only a legitimate weapon for female self-defense, but sometimes even doctors buy one for defense.
It's no secret; it's to prevent family members or patients from causing disturbances or attacking people.
Facing violent assaults from relatives or patients, doctors often encounter severe life threats. Some relatives carry sharp knives, unspeakingly taking them out to stab straightly.
At such moments, doctors might get killed.
Carrying one bottle of pepper spray could be life-saving at crucial instances.
After being beaten by a family member years ago, Li Jingsheng bought a bottle of pepper spray upon advice from a considerate senior colleague, carrying it ever since. He tested its power, finding it unbearably painful.
