Chapter 2079: Chapter 1950: Quack Doctor (Part 2)
"How could this happen? Itās just one prescription; everyone used this prescription for medication, but why is it not working?" Director Wu asked Song Xiaodong.
"Because these quacks donāt have the benevolence of a doctor, thatās why with the same prescription, I can cure the illness, but they canāt. Feel free to try it out yourself."
"Moreover, these people got sick because they took things they shouldnāt have, they deserve it, and I wonāt treat them." Song Xiaodong glanced sidelong at the four patients, causing them to shiver all over.
The patients knew well what Song Xiaodong meant.
"Vice President Zhao, your hospitalās physicians are truly impressive. When has a doctor ever refused to save a life? Director Wu is asking you to treat the patients, and you dare to disobey orders?" An expert pointed his finger at Vice President Zhaoās nose.
"Well, this Mr. Song isnāt part of our hospitalās permanent staff; heās a visiting professor, and our hospital has no authority to force Mr. Song to treat patients." Vice President Zhao explained to the expert.
"Stop bragging! So what if you can treat chickenpox? My father knows someone whose medical skills are superb, especially adept at curing rare conditions like this chickenpox!" Doctor Zhang said to Song Xiaodong.
Chapter 1951: Hidden in the World
"Go ahead and find them; Iāll give you a chance to perform." Song Xiaodong spread his hand, indicating to Doctor Zhang to start his show.
"Director Wu, donāt worry, I donāt believe thereās no one else in Minghe who can cure this chickenpox! Iāll contact the senior right away!" Doctor Zhang picked up the phone to make a call.
Though Director Wu kept silent, his eyebrows furrowed, clearly angered with Song Xiaodong. Being the director, seeking someone elseās help if Song Xiaodong refused put him in an awkward position. If Doctor Zhang could find someone else to treat the chickenpox, it would be ideal.
"Doctor Song is indeed arrogant, claiming that only he can cure diseases in all of Minghe. There are many retired Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors specializing in rare conditions here; even if Doctor Songās medical skill is superior, such arrogance is truly unwarranted."
"Doctor Songās skill is indeed remarkable, but refusing to save lives and fooling us with a bogus prescription is unacceptable. If thereās a method for treating chickenpox, it should be shared. Itās ironic for Mr. Song to call us quacks without benevolence; I think Doctor Song is not much better than us!"
"Once Doctor Zhang finds a senior capable of curing this chickenpox, weāll teach Doctor Song a lesson!"
"Humph, itās just treating chickenpox, yet Doctor Song is so arrogant; itās not the conduct of a physician!"
At this moment, Doctor Zhangās call connected: "Hello? Is this Elder He?"
"Yes, itās me. You are... Xiao Zhang?"
"Yes, itās me!" After connecting the call, Doctor Zhang looked smugly at Song Xiaodong, setting the phone to speaker so everyone could listen.
"Oh, Xiao Zhang, howās your father?"
"My fatherās in good health, thank you, Elder He, for your concern."
"What can I do for you?"
"Elder He, recently there have been many chickenpox patients in Minghe, have you heard about it?" Doctor Zhang spoke to the person on the phone.
"Oh, I know. Patients are suffering from intense itching all over, and after blisters burst, the pain is unbearable, itās a truly peculiar condition."
"Great, Elder He knows about this."
"Hmm, whatās going on?"
"City health authorities are holding a chickenpox prevention and control meeting; the patients are suffering badly, so the health bureau leaders are wondering if thereās any effective method to relieve symptoms. Elder He, do you have any insights?" Doctor Zhang asked.
"I heard about this disease yesterday. Iām afraid I cannot treat it." The other side answered quite directly.
"How could it be? Even Elder He doesnāt have a cure for chickenpox?" Doctor Zhang was greatly disappointed.
"Yes, Iāve never seen such a strange chickenpox before. Iāve even read numerous medical canons, but I am clueless."
"Oh no, itās truly unfortunate, thereās a high concern of widespread outbreak, and the patients are in immense pain. The health bureau hoped to find effective symptom relief from the Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective."
"Well, I am not learned enough; Iām afraid the health bureau leaders might be disappointed."
The waiting directors and experts nearby showed disappointed expressions.
"But..." The person on the phone took a deep breath.
"Hmm?" Doctor Zhang continued hoping for a miracle.
"I can recommend someone; if he canāt treat it, then no one can cure this chickenpox."
"Who?"
"This person is young but possesses unique skills, superb medical expertise, able to bring the dead back to life, make bones grow flesh, perform neurosurgery with just two silver needles, saving patients with brain hemorrhage and herniation; patients can fully recover without disabilities. His skill is as if Hua Tuo has reincarnated, Bian Que reborn. Iāve had the privilege to learn and exchange with him, greatly benefiting my medical advancement. My current medical achievements are mostly thanks to this gentleman."
"However, this gentleman has a significant reputation; you need to invite him respectfully. If neglected, he might refuse to save a life, and Iād be powerless."
