Chapter 2154: Chapter 2010: Immortal Family_5
Lin Suâer hung up the phone and then called Song Xiaodong.
"Brother Xiaodong."
"Hmm?"
"I got a job for you." Lin Suâer said.
"Youâre getting jobs for me now, making me sound like a young master." Song Xiaodong said with a smile.
"You are, you are our young master." Lin Suâer laughed as she spoke to Song Xiaodong.
"Go ahead, whatâs going on?" Song Xiaodong asked Lin Suâer.
"Didnât I borrow security teams from many hospitals before, during the fights with medical troublemakers?" Lin Suâer said.
"What, now you have to return the favor?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Hmm..."
"Whatâs the matter?"
"Itâs about treating a patient."
"Alright, come pick me up."
Lin Suâer then drove back home to pick up Song Xiaodong and took him to Zhao Fangyuan Hospital.
"Wow, how many hospitals do you owe favors to now?" Song Xiaodong asked Lin Suâer.
"Five hospitals." Lin Suâer replied.
"Take your time to pay them back, hahaha..."
The staff welcomed Song Xiaodong and Lin Suâer and introduced them to Zhao Fangyuanâs office.
"Director Lin! Mr. Song, Iâm troubling you today, I apologize." Zhao Fangyuan had a broad face, a bald head, thick legs, and a big belly. In his sixties, he wore glasses that gleamed through the lenses.
"Last time, thanks to Mr. Zhaoâs help, itâs only right for me to do this favor." Director Lin said.
Zhao Fangyuan shook hands with Song Xiaodong: "Mr. Song, itâs a great honor to meet you. Iâve long heard that Minghe has a Divine Doctor who treats the elderly in Beijing. Itâs a pleasure to finally meet you."
"Youâre too kind, Director Zhao."
"I also know that last time, when Mingheâs Daohua Village had a chickenpox outbreak, even our Chinese and Western medical experts couldnât cure it. In the end, it was Mr. Song who did!" Zhao Fangyuan added.
"It was just a coincidence that some insights from studying ancient texts came in handy." Song Xiaodong said modestly.
"Yes, yes, not only is Mr. Songâs medical skill superb, but heâs also so humble and courteous. Truly a talented young man, Director Lin, youâre so fortunate!" Zhao Fangyuan said to Lin Suâer with a smile.
Lin Suâer looked at Song Xiaodong with slight reproach.
"Itâs my good fortune, my good fortune!" Song Xiaodong quickly said to Lin Suâer.
"Director Zhao, letâs get to the point." Lin Suâer said to Director Zhao.
"Alright, letâs get to the point. This patient, the situation is rather special; itâs a very rare heart disease. Now in Minghe, we donât have the medical technology for it. Going to Beijing, we worry the patientâs body might not withstand it. So, weâve been maintaining treatment in the ICU, which is practically waiting for death. So, we wanted to ask Mr. Song to take a look." Director Zhao said.
"Alright, Iâll take a look, but I canât guarantee anything with heart diseases." Song Xiaodong replied.
"Everyone who studies medicine, who dares to say theyâre a hundred percent sure?" Director Zhao asked.
Song Xiaodong nodded.
Director Zhao arranged for Song Xiaodong and Lin Suâer to meet the patient.
The patient wasnât in Director Zhaoâs hospital but in the Ningjian Province Old Cadre Convalescent Home.
"The patientâs name is Wang Xuezhong; he was the Health Bureau Director of Ningjian Province and also worked as Director in our cityâs Health Bureau. Heâs my old leader; our hospitalâs medical expertise depends on the foundation laid back then. Without him, we wouldnât have our hospital." Director Zhao said.
"Ah, an old leader." Song Xiaodong nodded.
"Heâs now 87 years old, with coronary heart disease, myocardial ischemia, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and has already had a bypass." Director Zhao said.
"Coronary heart disease with restenosis after interventional treatment." Song Xiaodong also frowned.
"Yes, the patientâs too old, the surgery risks are too high. Now, no hospital in Minghe dares to perform surgery, and sending him to Beijing would be too late." Director Zhao said.
"What about getting a doctor from Beijing here?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Iâm afraid it would also be too late."
A group of people arrived at Ningjian Province Old Cadre Convalescent Home to find the patient.
The patient was in the ICU, full of tubes, with a thin body, a head full of white hair, brown skin with age spots, wearing an oxygen mask, sleeping deeply, while the ECG slowly beeped.
A group of people stood guard outside.
Among them were the patientâs wife, Yu Xiulin; eldest son, Wang Xingye; eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Shuyun; second son, Wang Xingjia; second daughter-in-law, Li Xin; youngest daughter, Wang Rui; son-in-law, Wang Rong.
As well as others who depended on the old man.
Itâs not the first time Song Xiaodong has seen such a scene.
Director Zhao approached and said to the patientâs wife, Yu Xiulin: "Sister-in-law, today I brought a doctor from our Minghe to have a look at Brother."
Yu Xiulin was overjoyed and said to Song Xiaodong: "Can you cure our Old Wang? The doctors here donât dare operate, nor send him to Beijing." She said to Song Xiaodong with tear-streaked cheeks.
Chapter 2014: What if a Needle Kills a Person?
"I can only take a look." Song Xiaodong nodded.
The eldest son, Wang Xingye, looked at Song Xiaodong, felt he seemed shifty, not like a good person, and asked Director Zhao: "Director Zhao, Iâve never seen this doctor before, who is he?"
Wang Xuezhong is old and sick, often seeing doctors, and Wang Xingye is familiar with the well-known doctors in all Mingheâs hospitals.
But he hasnât seen such a young doctor before.
"Oh, well, this Mr. Song isnât a hospital doctor and seldom makes visits, so you havenât heard of him."
Respecting the old manâs prestige, Director Zhao was also very respectful to Wang Xingye.
"Not a hospital doctor?" Wang Xingye was displeased upon hearing that.
