Chapter 575 It’s Second Master Lu Who Invited Us To Look For You
The patients were unwilling for that to happen when they heard her.
“Why should we wait? We believe in you!”
“So many skilled doctors have praised your prescription, so why can’t you give them to us right away?”
Zi Yi held onto the prescription and revealed a helpless expression. “There’s no use even if you believe me. I don’t wish to get written about by this group of reporters and be turned into a villain who has no regard for human life, just because I do not have a doctor’s qualification certificate.”
A few other patients and their family members looked at the reporters with expressions of dissatisfaction.
“You reporters really have nothing better to do. You don’t report what is required of you and only report on useless things. I don’t believe that you and your family will never get sick. For our chronic illnesses, we have visited so many large hospitals but there was never a cure. Now that we have finally met a doctor who is able to cure our illnesses, you’re here to obstruct us.”
“I think you don’t wish for us to have our illnesses cured. In that case, we can sue you instead!”
“If my illness does not get treated in time due to your interference and instead, it worsens or something, I will definitely sue you to the extent that you will lose everything and go bankrupt!”
The reporters were all overwhelmed. They clearly did this in the interest of these patients, but they and their families were not grateful. Instead, they were blaming them!
Zi Yi’s lips curved up and she looked at the group of reporters who were eager to defend themselves. She then walked over to Elder Tang and asked, “Teacher, did I pa.s.s the test today?”
Elder Tang looked at the stack of prescriptions in her hand and did not immediately give her a response.
It seemed as if he was thinking if he should pa.s.s her or not.
Just then, one of the nurses came over and whispered to the Deputy Director.
The Deputy Director nodded at her and walked over to Elder Tang and Zi Yi. With some traces of surprise, he said, “Elder Tang, an elderly patient has visited the hospital and he wishes to have Little Zi examine him.”
Elder Tang and Zi Yi looked at each other.
Elder Tang asked, “Who is that elderly?”
The Deputy Director shook his head. “He is not from the capital and we only know that his first name is Situ.”
Elder Tang thought about it for a moment and asked Zi Yi, “Little Zi, do you want to accept this patient?”
Instead of answering, she asked, “Is this considered a test?”
Elder Tang: “…”
Could it be that this girl is only concerned about this?!
“Yes.”
Under the Deputy Director’s bright stare, Zi Yi nodded her head. “Sure.”
Thus, while the patients and the reporters were arguing, the three of them quietly left the entrance and headed to one of the consultation
rooms.
There were only two other people in the consultation room.
One of them was an elderly man who appeared to be in his fifties or sixties. His face was full of vicissitudes and he was currently resting with his eyes closed at the moment.
Alongside him was a man in his mid-twenties. He had a flat head, tall and robust physique and his facial features made him seem like a rough man.
The young man had just poured a cup of warm water for the elderly. He squatted down and softly called out. “Grandfather, have a drink first. The nurse will be calling them over soon.”
Only then did the elderly man open his eyes. He did not accept the cup of water from the young man and instead, he turned to the side.
The man had also sensed people outside the door and he turned around to take a look.
When he saw Zi Yi, who was standing outside, a flash of surprise streaked past his eyes.
This young lady was very beautiful.
He then looked at the other people standing next to her.
The nurse quickly introduced the three of them to him. “This is Deputy Director He of our hospital, this is Elder Tang, an influential figure in the Chinese Medicine field, and this is Elder Tang’s student, Zi Yi.”
The young man stood up when the nurse was introducing them.
He looked at the three of them and said, “h.e.l.lo.”
Having said that, he moved to the side and allowed them to enter and examine his grandfather.
Elder Tang and Zi Yi came inside. Elder Tang began to make routine inquiries to the elderly man.
It was the young man who answered on behalf of the elderly.
After Elder Tang finished asking, he brought up the last question. “I heard from the nurse that you wanted my student to examine you?”
Only then did the elderly man finally speak up. “Yes. My grandson and I happened to walk past earlier and saw the young lady examining a few other patients. I would also like to give it a try.”
The Deputy Director who had overheard the conversation thought to himself, “To think that he’s looking for Little Zi to examine him just because he saw what she did earlier. This elderly man is sure willful.”
However, Elder Tang was rather delighted. He felt that the elderly man before him was very insightful. He then said to Zi Yi, “Little Zi, come and take Mr. Situ’s pulse first.” Zi Yi walked over and the young man hastily brought the chair over and put it behind her.
Zi Yi took a seat and said to the elderly man, “Grandpa, give me your wrist.”
The elderly man moved his wrist towards her.
Zi Yi began to take his pulse.
Sometime later, she asked, “You are a veteran soldier?”
Situ Hong looked at her with surprise. “How did you know that?”
“The old injuries in your bodies are mainly left behind by bullets. The medical technology dozens of years back is not as advanced as it is now. In addition, you had treated it casually and so, now that you have gotten older, the aftereffects such as pain in your joints and bones are definitely being felt.
Other than these gunshot wounds, you have also suffered from a series of chronic illnesses due to how your body was often soaked in cold water when you were younger.” With every word Zi Yi said, the eyes of the elderly man and the young man would appear even more surprised.
When Zi Yi finished her diagnosis, the young man eagerly asked, “Then are you able to cure my Grandfather?”
Zi Yi nodded her head. These problems were only considered minor for her.
“A few sessions of acupuncture and prescribing several months of oral medicine will cure his illness.”
“For real?”
The young man’s rigid face revealed uncontrollable excitement. “As long as Doctor Zi can cure my Grandfather’s chronic illness, the money doesn’t matter.”
To Zi Yi, money was not of much importance. She was more concerned about something else. “I don’t think you came looking for me just because you saw that I gave a few patients a diagnosis?”
The elderly and the young man were momentarily stunned at the same time.
Following that, the elderly man revealed traces of a smile.
The young man told her. “It was Second Master Lu who invited us to look for you.”
“Dad?” Zi Yi was a little surprised.
Elder Tang and the Deputy Director were also surprised.
The young man nodded his head and continued to speak. “When Second Master Lu headed to the Southern Ocean, he just so happened to encounter my Grandfather who had had a relapse of his old injuries. He suggested for us to find you.”
Since that was the case, Zi Yi was at ease.
She thought about it and said, “Your Grandfather’s illness requires the use of silver needles and my skills are merely subpar. Don’t blame me if your Grandfather feels pain.”
Acupuncture was a skill that was acc.u.mulated over time and the time she had practiced her skills was too short. It was impossible for her to achieve Elder Tang’s level.
The elderly man did not answer directly either. He asked, “Is it more painful than a bullet entering the flesh and being taken out without anesthesia?”
Upon hearing his question, Zi Yi smiled. “It isn’t.”
The elderly man looked at her smile and also revealed a smile in response.
Elder Tang who was standing by the side checked out the elderly man before him. Even though he did not know the exact ident.i.ty of the other party, he had also managed to guess some things based on the conversation between him and his beloved student.
