Time flies quickly, and just like that, a week has passed.
Over the past few days, Lin Jie worked from nine to six, with a night shift every three days!
But most of his time at the clinic was spent on physical exercise and studying high school subjects.
As for physical exercise, Lin Jie's favorite was endurance swimming and running in seawater.
Even though he exercised and swam at the seaside during work hours, Luo Shanshan turned a blind eye, pretending not to see it, mainly because the work at the clinic was quite leisurely.
Each day, only a few to a dozen patients visited the clinic, but all had minor conditions, which Zhu Heping could handle on his own.
In the past few days, the only time Lin Jie intervened was when a kid got their head bruised, and he carefully stitched it with six stitches.
Of course, Lin Jie also contributed to the clinic.
Every afternoon, he would spend about an hour providing targeted training in disease diagnosis and first aid to Luo Shanshan, Zhu Heping, Zhu Qiang, and Zhang Daya.
Today was the day to evaluate Zhang Daya's surgical results, considered a relatively important day.
Lin Jie said goodbye to Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao early in the morning and drove for over an hour to the clinic!
As soon as he stepped into the clinic building, he was surrounded by many people!
Among them were the familiar faces of Luo Shanshan, Zhu Heping, Zhu Qiang, and the unexpected presence of An Kexin, Chen Lan, and Yang Jinglong.
"Kexin, Dr. Chen, Dr. Yang, why are you here?" Lin Jie asked in confusion!
Yang Jinglong laughed heartily and said, "Today is a moment to witness a miracle. It's your big day, Dr. Lin. How could we not be here, even if it was raining knives from the sky, we'd come."
What miracle is this!
Lin Jie felt a bit disdainful inside, but he couldn't let down their enthusiasm, so he smiled faintly and said, "Since you're all here, let's go to the ward together!"
Taking the lead, Lin Jie, followed closely by the eager crowd, entered the ward on the second floor.
Zhang Daya was evidently very excited, pacing back and forth in the ward. When Lin Jie and the others came in, she immediately sat upright on the hospital bed, looking at Lin Jie with anticipation and trepidation.
Lin Jie first conducted a check-up on her and found that the previously common blood streaks in her throat were gone, and he nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, everyone in the ward held their breath; it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Lin Jie opened his mouth and softly said, "Zhang Daya, your examination is all normal, and the wound has healed very well! From my findings, the vocal cords have regained their function, and you should have the ability to speak!"
"However, we need you to try it to be sure!"
"You might feel some pain, but don't be nervous, it's normal! Watch me, open your mouth gently like I do, and say: ah..."
Zhang Daya pressed her lips tightly, nodded, and then slowly opened her mouth!
Her throat moved, but no sound came out.
Lin Jie didn't feel any airflow coming from her mouth and encouraged her again, "I know you're scared, scared of failure. But you have to overcome this hurdle. Let's try again!"
"Gently... ah..."
Luo Shanshan also cheered from the side, "Daya, we all believe in Dr. Lin; he's the best! You have to believe it too. If he says you can do it, you surely can!"
This time, Zhang Daya took a deep breath and opened her mouth again!
"... ah..."
This "ah" was so faint, like a breeze blowing over the treetops, barely audible, and the sound quality wasn't pleasant, being low and with a rasp.
But this sound, in the ears of everyone in the room, was as melodious as a heavenly voice!
"Clap... clap..."
Yang Jinglong clapped enthusiastically, and driven by him, everyone applauded excitedly.
The applause persisted continuously, and Lin Jie had to wave his hand to signal everyone to stop!
At this point, tears were streaming down Zhang Daya's face, and she softly called out to her parents, "Dad! Mom!"
"Hey!"
"Hey, my dear daughter, you've suffered!"
Hearing this call, Zhang Daya's parents couldn't control their excitement anymore, and they hugged her and cried together.
Watching this scene, Lin Jie suddenly felt an inexplicable soreness in his eyes!
He tilted his head back, trying hard not to let the tears spill from the corners of his eyes!
Lin Jie slightly composed himself and said to Luo Shanshan, "You stay here to remind Zhang Daya of some precautions!"
"As for the others, come out with me, and let's leave the room for them!"
Everyone gathered again in the lobby on the first floor, surrounding Lin Jie, straightforwardly or subtly praising his incredible medical skills.
After a round of flattery, An Kexin asked, "Lin Jie, I noticed that Zhang Daya's voice quality doesn't seem so good. Are you going to perform surgery to improve her voice?"
"Cough... President An!"
Chen Lan spoke up for Lin Jie, "Currently, the patient's surgical wound hasn't fully healed, and she hasn't spoken for years. The fact that she made a sound proves her vocal cords have restored normal function!"
"The patient's poor sound quality right now is understandable and normal."
"It will probably take another half to a whole month for the sound quality to stabilize. But based on that 'mom and dad' she said, it's likely her voice will sound quite nice after full recovery."
Yang Jinglong added in agreement, "President An, for the patient to be able to speak is already a great success. Whether the voice sounds good is secondary!"
"Moreover, I can also tell that once the patient's voice stabilizes, the sound quality should be quite decent."
"Of course, if she wants to have a voice as lovely as the diva Xiaoxiao, that's impossible."
"Otherwise..."
Yang Jinglong looked jokingly at Lin Jie and said, "Dr. Lin could open a separate 'voice optimization' clinic, and I'm sure there'd be a line of people wanting to beautify their voices stretching all the way to the city train station."
An Kexin nodded understandingly, recalling her friend's voice and the conflicts she learned from her, and sighed deeply.
Her friend lost trust in doctors after a failed surgery, and Lin Jie was still quite grudging about the matter; evidently, both were quite stubborn!
"Speaking of Xiaoxiao..."
Chen Lan suddenly interjected, "I got some insider information that Xiaoxiao broke up with her agency, and it even involved the police."
"The inside scoop says Xiaoxiao reported to the police that someone tried to poison her and one of her assistants is already in police custody."
Lin Jie immediately became interested; perhaps it all started with his warning about the green drink?
He asked with concern, "Are you sure?"
Chen Lan nodded, "Xiaoxiao's mother revealed this while seeking treatment at the hospital, so this news should be accurate."
