Chapter 990: Increase

“Doctor Miao, we’ll be counting on you this time.” The patient’s family showed courtesy and respect on their faces.

Miao Tansheng answered with great ease before he smiled and said, “President Pei, don’t worry. I will make proper arrangements for you later. Your family doesn’t need to feel too burdened with this. Just make some preparations and be admitted into the clinic on time. If any family member is willing to keep her accompanied, we have a single room. If it’s not convenient for you to keep her company, we also have a nurse to take care of her for twenty-four hours of the day. So, please rest assured.”

“A single room? Your clinic… I don’t think it looks very big. Should we stay in Yun Hua Hospital?”

“Then, she will be the patient in Yun Hua Hospital. Doctor Ling will also perform consultations in Yun Hua Hospital every week.” Miao Tansheng smiled faintly. Ling Ran gave out his consultation slots according to his surgical volume now, so it was not easy to get a number in Yun Hua Hospital.

President Pei fell silent for a few seconds before he said, “Money is not the problem. Which side has better conditions?”

“We’ve rented a room at the residential building next to us. After the renovation, we added new furniture. It’s not very luxurious, but it has a very homey feel, so it’ll be more comfortable than staying in the inpatient ward for senior cadres in the hospital.” Miao Tansheng smiled faintly, because all these were done by him.

“Alright. Actually, we don’t really care about who is accompanying her and who her caregiver is. We mainly hope that the surgery can be done smoothly and that we can get a good outcome.” President Pei sounded serious.

Miao Tansheng smiled and said, “President Pei, we’ve talked about this before. Your daughter’s surgery will be performed by Doctor Ling, and Lower Groove Clinic is also one of the designated hospitals registered under Doctor Ling’s multi-sited license. When it comes to nursing care, especially in regards to recovery, we have experienced nurses and doctors as well as staff recruited from Yun Hua Hospital. But whether the outcome is satisfactory or not will be a very subjective issue.”

President Pei stared at Miao Tansheng, and he only grunted after a long while. Then, he sighed again, “My daughter has been learning dancing for ten years, so she can’t give it up just because of an injury.”

Miao Tansheng whispered, “I understand your feelings. I truly understand. Since Lower Groove Clinic developed this program, many patients who come to us are like your daughter. Some like to play sports, some like to dance, but they were all unfortunately injured. Many patients with better financial conditions have looked around before they finally approached us, and all they hoped was to get the best treatment. Meanwhile, we will not just rest on our laurels. We will try our best to treat your daughter…”

Miao Tansheng had been working in the field of cosmetic surgery for a few years, so his oratory skills had improved without his knowledge.

Although he sounded slightly like a salesman, the words he chose sounded nice, and he also catered to their wishes. So when President Pei and his wife listened to him, their facial expressions slowly became relieved.

At this time, President Pei’s wife sat up straight, and she said, “Doctor Miao, I want to ask an unprofessional question. If I’m wrong, please don’t feel unhappy.”

“No worries, please say.” Miao Tansheng’s mood was extremely good. He performed both cosmetic surgeries and the Achilles tendon repair in a private clinic, but when he performed cosmetic surgeries, while the patients and their families were not too arrogant, they still behaved as if they were superior to him, and they had the mindset that if they paid, they were obliged to good service. However, since the clinic launched the Achilles tendon repair programme, the patients and their families that Miao Tansheng met were delightful. They were humble, friendly, and polite, and they looked exactly like how a patient should be when they sought medical advice from the doctor’s perspective.

Miao Tansheng needed this kind of respect the most, especially when he has been expelled from the healthcare system and was on his own.

President Pei’s wife politely said, “Doctor Miao, I heard that the Achilles tendon repair performed by Doctor Ling will leave a big scar. In this case, can you come up with any solution? You know, my daughter is just sixteen years old. In the future… if there’s a scar on her leg in the future, it’ll be very ugly.”

Miao Tansheng understood and nodded. He slowly said, “In this case, do you want to reconsider minimally invasive surgery?”

“If we choose minimally invasive surgery, she will not be able to dance again, right?” President Pei’s wife said uneasily.

Miao Tansheng hesitated for a few seconds before he said, “There are also cases of people recovering from minimally invasive surgery. Besides, your daughter is still very young, so her recovery will be better. But if we talk only about the strength of the Achilles tendon, then the effects from open surgery are definitely the best. You need to judge this on your own.”

“All the athletes received open Achilles tendon repair, right?” President Pei asked by the side. He had done some investigations and preparations, or else, he would not look for Lower Groove Clinic.

President Pei’s wife glared at her husband, then she turned around and said, “Doctor Miao, how about this? Please ask Doctor Ling to make a smaller incision, and try to make the sutures tighter—”

“This depends on the situation.” Miao Tansheng dared not agree to this kind of request, so he answered evasively, “I’ll suggest to Doctor Ling to make the incision smaller to a feasible extent. But honestly speaking, you need to make the decision. If you choose to keep the athletic performance of the Achilles tendon, it will leave a scar. If you choose minimally invasive surgery, there will not be any problem when you use Achilles tendon in daily life, but there is no best of both worlds.”

President Pei and his wife looked at each other, and their faces showed uncertainty.

Miao Tansheng was not in a hurry. He just stood aside and waited quietly.

Patients and their family members who hesitated when surgery was right around the corner were the type of people he saw the most.

When it was finally the time for surgery and time to sign the operation consent form, many people who were usually very agreeable would change their minds suddenly.

This situation was even more common in the industry of plastic surgery. Many private hospitals had promotional projects, and their aim was to place the patients and their families in the medical environment and even the operating environment before the discussion so that it would be much easier when it was time for the discussion.

The most extreme case was to push the patient onto the operating table before they talked about the price, and this was naturally beneficial in every way possible.

“You decide. After all, our daughter listens to you.” President Pei gave up his right very quickly.

President Pei’s wife looked conflicted, and she complained. “You’re turning me into the scapegoat at this moment?”

“Our daughter listens to you.”

President Pei’s wife thought for a long while before she shook her head and said, “We’d better go for open surgery.”

“Have you decided?” Miao Tansheng took out the document and let them sign.

President Pei’s wife picked a pen, sighed, and said, “She doesn’t look really good too, so if she can’t get married in the future, it’s certainly not because of the scars on her leg.”

After she finished speaking, she signed her name on the informed consent form.

Miao Tansheng made President Pei sign the form before he put it away and gave them further instructions. “We will arrange a car to pick her up for examination, so Miss Pei should get ready early in the morning tomorrow. When our car arrives, she can just leave for the examination.”

“How long does it take for the examination?”

“It’s mainly a MRI scan. We will arrange it to be done in the Third People’s Hospital of Yun Hua City or Fourth People’s Hospital of Yun Hua City, and the normal routine blood test for admittance will be easier…” Miao Tansheng spoke for more than ten minutes before he sent President Pei and his wife away.

When he went back to the clinic and took his seat to rest for a while, the newly booked patients and family members had arrived at his doorstep.

“I’m too busy.” Doctor Miao showed off to Doctor Xiong, who napped in the room.

Doctor Xiong who was woken up did not even look at him. He quietly took out his phone and sent a message to Ling Jiezhou. [I need a raise.]
