Chapter 801 Demand for a National Consultation!
The post-bar had always been the main site for heated discussions and spreading of news.
Soon, the post about Fang Qiu curing malaria was reposted and became a hot topic among all the major posts. It was also copied and posted on Weibo.
A great many people began to pay attention to it, especially Fang Qiu’s fans.
Fang Qiu’s fans were all excited when they saw this post.
“Was he really cured?”
“Master Fang Qiu cured malaria. Did you see that?”
“Awesome. Such a difficult disease could be cured. Chinese Medicine is really amazing!”
“He’s remarkable.”
“I didn’t expect that Fang Qiu would treat a malaria patient as soon as he came back from abroad. He even cured him in such a short time. He is really awesome!”
“I’d like to see who else dares to question our Master Fang Qiu now!”
“Where are those people who said that our master was arrogant? Come out and have a good look. Do you see his power? Isn’t it not just malaria? He can absolutely cure it!”
“Yes, Fang Qiu is competent. Of course, he can cure it.”
While they were thrilled, the spirits of Fang Qiu’s fans rose immediately. Many fans were dissatisfied with the people who questioned Fang Qiu before. Now they immediately took advantage of the news that Fang Qiu cured the plague to attack those who doubted Fang Qiu before.
However, whenever a thing reaches its extreme, it soon reversed its course.
While Fang Qiu’s fans were in high spirits and extremely proud of him, a different voice appeared.
“So what if he’s cured? Why are you so excited? What are you looking so smug about? He just cured one patient, not an entire country. Is it necessary to be this happy?”
“Don’t gloat too early. We all know that Fang Qiu has excellent medical skills and that he can cure plenty of complicated diseases. We have never doubted Fang Qiu’s medical skills, but curing one person suffering from malaria is totally different from curing a country’s plague!”
“That’s right. So what if he cured one person? Huaxia is not a large-scale spreading area of the plague, because we have good medical conditions and complete equipment. Even if there is a malaria infection, we can immediately control it and prevent it from spreading. But it is different in Comores. It’s an island country, and it’s really poor. The medical conditions are even worse. Not to mention the treatment, they can’t even ensure a good disinfection. Otherwise, why would there be so many foreign medical teams coming to help them?”
“The conditions for the treatment in Comores are atrocious. This disease is highly infectious. This is the difference between treating one patient and a group of patients. If you cured one of the patients in the group while the others have not yet recovered, they will still be infected. What’s worse, it may also infect the person you have just cured. So it is not surprising that Fang Qiu can cure malaria. What we are doubting is whether he can cure the disease on a large scale and manage the prevention and control of the spread. Don’t forget that he only has one year to do it. In this one year, Fang Qiu still has a long way to go to cure malaria!”
With these remarks gradually coming into sight, Fang Qiu’s fans soon calmed down.
When everyone pondered about it, that was indeed the case.
Fortunately, there were very few fanatical fans of Fang Qiu. Most of them were rational fans, so everyone could calm down and look at this matter properly.
“It’s true. Don’t brag about the master anymore. If you continue to brag, it will cause someone to slander him.”
“Master Fang Qiu may not be able to do it, but I believe he will work hard and I will always support him!”
“Fang Qiu, more power!”
The fans left their comments, one after another.
They all realized now that curing a patient with malaria was totally different from solving Comores’s malaria problem in a year. At least, Fang Qiu was able to cure it, which meant there was hope.
If there was hope, Fang Qiu would definitely strive hard to work toward that goal.
As his fans, they would unconditionally believe and support Fang Qiu!
Just as Fang Qiu’s fans and people following this matter were in the midst of a heated discussion about Fang Qiu curing the plague, another voice popped up on the Internet.
“I strongly demand that Fang Qiu do consultations throughout the country!”
“Agree!”
“I agree. I hope that Master Fang Qiu won’t just stay in Jiangjing Chinese Medicine Hospital. This would mean that everyone has to go to that hospital every month. This is not fair to the patients at all. Those in Jiangjing will definitely be the first to queue and they will definitely be registered. People in other places will always be at the back of the line. It will take a long time to get there. They still have to wait for a long while even after their arrival. When they finally get to see the doctor, they also need to spend a lot of time for their return. It’s so frustrating.”
“It will be awesome if Fang Qiu can see patients all over the country.”
“Can Fang Qiu do it?”
“I really hope that Fang Qiu can take note and do it.”
“Doctors are supposed to be responsible for the patients, right? Fang Qiu is a doctor, so he should do this!”
This topic was first brought up by a few people who failed to get to Jiangjing to queue and register. Unexpectedly, it drew the attention of many people from other provinces in a short period of time.
These people complained that they could not travel too far because they were unwell. Every time they wanted to go to Jiangjing, they found that everyone had already gone there. There were too many people in line. They could not register even if they went there, which made these patients feel rather helpless.
Some patients even intended to live in Jiangjing Chinese Medicine Hospital so that they could register as soon as Fang Qiu started to see patients.
In the midst of this heated discussion, more and more people partic.i.p.ated in this topic.
Gradually, the trending of this topic even surpa.s.sed the topic of Fang Qiu curing malaria and became the No.1 topic of people’s discussion. It even made it into the top ten of Weibo’s trending topic list.
With the publicity of the trending topic, it became much more popular.
Numerous people got involved.
They all read this suggestion.
“That’s a good suggestion.”
“Yes, it should be fair.”
“It’s a pity that there is only one Fang Qiu. It would be great if there are 24 people like him. Each of them can cover one province, which solves the problem perfectly.”
“Please do a nationwide consultation!”
“I’m begging Master Fang Qiu to do a nationwide consultation.”
“I really hope Master Fang Qiu can give me a consultation. Please do have a nationwide consultation.”
More and more people were in agreement with them.
Among them, there were also a lot of Fang Qiu’s fans. Not only did they want Fang Qiu to treat them, but they also hoped to take the opportunity to meet Fang Qiu in person.
If he didn’t have a nationwide consultation, it would be laborious for them to get to meet Fang Qiu. But once Fang Qiu decided to see patients across the country, they would have a great chance to meet him.
Fueled by the ongoing discussion, all the ordinary citizens, together with Fang Qiu’s fans, joined in proposing this matter, regardless of whether they were sick or not.
However, as a great many people were involved, everyone began to take it seriously.
“From the South to the North, let our Nanjiang First Chinese Medicine Hospital be the first stop!”
“What about from the East to the West? Our Luhai city should be the first one.”
“All of you, get out of here. Let Hai City be the first!”
“Come to Luo City. You must come to Luo City!”
In the blink of an eye, the netizens from all over the country began to fight for it.
Under every name of each city, there was a large group of locals’ comments. They tried to gain popularity for their comments, wanting to push their city to the top so that Fang Qiu could see them.
The netizens seemed to think that this matter was settled even though they had no clue about whether this proposal would be approved or not.
Of course, Fang Qiu was not aware of this matter at all.
In the Chinese Medicine Hospital, Fang Qiu did not stop until he saw the patients for 24 hours.
He finished seeing all the patients who had registered.
Since the hospital had learned from the previous experience, they no longer allowed patients to do whatever they wanted. Instead, they came up with a sophisticated plan for Fang Qiu’s consultation.
The plan contained a total of five points.
First, the patients were not allowed to register in advance for Fang Qiu’s specialist consultation. They could only register in person on the day of Fang Qiu’s consultation.
Second, the registration time lasted for 10 hours, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the day of Fang Qiu’s consultation. All registered numbers were valid. When it was past 6 p.m., the hospital would close, so would the registration office. Hence, people could no longer register.
Third, the patients who registered could wait in the hospital. Fang Qiu would also continue his consultation until he finished seeing all the patients that had registered.
Fourth, all patients were not allowed to register on behalf of others.
Fifth, after being confirmed by the hospital’s experts, patients with serious diseases would be given preferential access to register and receive treatments.
This plan solved all the problems that Fang Qiu would face.
The moment this plan came out, the hospital also posted it on its official website.
After the patients read it, some felt it was unfair, some smiled helplessly, while the others approved of it.
However, when the vast number of netizens saw these five rules, they all applauded Jiangjing Chinese Medicine Hospital, especially Fang Qiu’s fans. They had been expressing their grat.i.tude to the Chinese Medicine Hospital on behalf of Fang Qiu.
Because in this way, Fang Qiu would not faint from exhaustion again even if he had been seeing patients for an entire day.
Fang Qiu said that he would treat patients for one day. He would definitely keep his promise. It was the most appropriate way to do so.
In the hospital, Fang Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing the last patient.
In fact, he could have stopped work at 6 p.m. yesterday. His actual working hours only lasted for 10 hours. But he didn’t leave. After all, people waiting there had registered. Even if he needed to work for more than 14 hours, he was determined to see all of them!
The consulting room was empty.
Fang Qiu asked the nurse to go back to have a rest while he poured himself a cup of hot water and sat down at the consultation table to rest.
“It’s over?” Suddenly, a voice sounded.
It was Xu Miaolin.
Fang Qiu was stunned and asked, “Mr. Xu? Didn’t you go to sleep?”
Xu Miaolin shook his head and said, “Do I look like I have not slept? I just got up. It’s eight o’clock in the morning. It’s really a good time of the day.”
“Yeah.” Fang Qiu echoed with a smile.
“The hospital has put up your consultation plan. Did you read it?” Xu Miaolin asked.
“Where is it?” Fang Qiu was stunned.
“Check out the official website yourself.” Xu Miaolin said.
Without hesitation, Fang Qiu immediately logged into the official website of Chinese Medicine Hospital with his mobile phone. Then he read the plan.
“This plan is quite suitable for me.”
After reading it, Fang Qiu smiled.
Xu Miaolin nodded and then added, “Yeah. But there seems to be some conflict with another matter.”
“What other matter?” Fang Qiu was curious.
“Take a look online. The netizens have already decided for you. They don’t have any intention of asking for approval at all.” Xu Miaolin shook his head with a smile.
