Chapter 435 Queuing Up Honestly

If you were to ask where the largest number of Chinese people are, besides queuing up at supermarkets to collect eggs, it would definitely be the hospital.

Hospitals are never short of people, always noisy and bustling, yet they are also places no one wants to go; nobody suddenly wants to rush to a hospital.

Yao Shula once told Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian that when they were in a bad mood, they should go to the hospital for a visit, especially spend an afternoon in the emergency room, and their mood would improve.

At first, Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian didn't believe it, thinking that Yao Shula was exaggerating. If hospitals were really that useful, everyone would want to go to the hospital.

That day, Xiao Tiantian was in a bad mood, and Grandpa Lei found him a foreign language teacher, so Xiao Tiantian had even less time to play. Xiao Tiantian immediately felt bored and thought that the days ahead would be the same as before.

To comfort Xiaotian, Yao Shuli took her to the nearby hospital, where they waited for a while outside the emergency room...

When Xiaotian returned in the evening, she was in a good mood and didn't resist learning another foreign language at all.

Indeed, when faced with life and death, nothing else matters. Take life and death lightly, and if you're not convinced, just fight...

No matter who you are, being able to live happily is already the greatest fortune!

...

At Huashan Hospital, Yao Shula and Miao Yamin accompanied Grandma Yao as she sat obediently on the bench outside the consultation room, waiting in line.

Although Yao Shula got up early to queue, she could only get a number towards the back of the line. Afraid that others would cut in line, they could only queue here.

Yao Shula had thought about it several times: should she call Lei Jingwu to see if she could pull some strings...?

Every time she had this thought, Grandma Yao next to her would glare at her.

“If others can queue, so can we. I’m not the kind of person who will die if I can’t walk or see a doctor. I’ll queue properly.” Grandma Yao insisted on queuing.

Yao Shula thought about it. If it weren't for Lei Jingwu's connection, wouldn't she still have to wait in line obediently?

Why is she so dependent on Lei Jingwu now?

No, this mindset is unacceptable! She can't rely on Lei Jingwu for everything; this habit is not good.

Yao Shula immediately adjusted her mindset and began to queue up patiently.

...

The doctor they booked was Director Du, whom Grandma Yao had inquired about from Yao Shuxin.

He was Yao Shuxin's teacher. Yao Shuxin said he was very good, with excellent medical skills, and never allowed patients to undergo unnecessary examinations.

He just has a bit of a bad temper...

He can dismiss people with no major ailments with just a few words, believing that it's a waste of time for them to come to him for minor problems. He'd rather spend that time seeing more patients with complex conditions!

While whispering to her grandmother, Yao Shula listened intently to the sounds coming from the doctor's office.

Since the first patient went in, Director Du has lost his temper at least three times.

The first time he lost his temper was when the patient came in crying, making everyone think that something terrible had happened to him!

As a result, when Director Du examined it...

Haha, it's just a minor ailment. One course of medication will do the trick.

Director Du gave the patient a severe dressing-down.

"You cry over the smallest thing? It's just taking medicine, why are you crying like this? You're so old, you should have children by now!"

What will your children think if they see you like this? Will they worry about you?

"If you cry less and think less, maybe the pain won't hurt anymore. Okay, now get out of here! Next!"

The people waiting outside to see the doctor immediately quieted down.

Later, Director Du mentioned another patient, and Director Du knew after just one look that the patient didn't have any major problems.

Who knew that the patient was still worried and insisted on asking if any tests were needed...

Director Du had no choice but to issue that person a whole bunch of test forms.

"Go ahead and do it! It might not even be finished in one day. I only have outpatient clinics two days a week. After you finish your tests yesterday and today, go see another doctor!"

Then the patient left, dissatisfied, with a stack of test results.

The last person to be scolded by Director Du was a patient's family member.

The old lady's condition was very serious, but her son... only said to go home and observe, and also said that he had to go on a business trip and didn't have much time to accompany the old lady in the hospital.

If he needs to be hospitalized, we'll talk about it when he gets back...

Director Du suppressed his temper and earnestly explained the old lady's situation to the son.

But that person thought Director Du was exaggerating.

Well, Director Du lost his temper again.

Yao Shula also understood why Yao Shuxin said that Director Du had a bad temper but was a very good person.

Director Du is so good at cursing! He can even curse without using any swear words!

...

Grandma Yao didn't get her turn until 10:30.

Although there were many patients waiting outside, Director Du still maintained his own pace. Sometimes he would spend a long time seeing a patient, and sometimes he would only see a patient for less than three minutes.

Another patient went in and was seen for ten minutes, and Director Du told her to cancel her appointment.

Yao Shula and Miao Yamin led Grandma Yao into the clinic.

Director Du was a lean old man. He only needed to glance up to know the relationship between the three people in front of him.

The three of them—grandmother, grandmother, and granddaughter—were there. The granddaughter brought her grandmother to see a doctor.

"Where do you feel unwell?" Director Du gestured for Grandma Yao to sit down.

Grandma Yao quickly explained where she felt unwell.

Director Du asked very seriously, then reached out and pressed the spot where Grandma Yao said it hurt, and then nodded.

"It's not a big problem, it's just caused by overwork. You're an elderly person, don't work so hard, rest when you need to."

If you don't believe me..."

"We're relieved to hear that, Director Du!" Yao Shula quickly said.

Director Du was taken aback; he had thought the patient's family would confirm it again and again!

After all, if he had said that before, both the patient and his family would have repeatedly confirmed whether it was really not a big problem or just to comfort the patient.

Grandma Yao also had a big smile on her face.

"Shuxin is right. If Director Du says there's no major problem, then there's definitely no major problem."

Director Du was even more surprised.

Feeling relieved...

"Big sister, what do you mean by 'comfortable'...?"

“My granddaughter! She used to study at Shanghai Medical University. She was your student, and she said you were the best doctor to treat my illness.”

"Oh, you have so many students, you probably don't remember most of them. She's currently pursuing her PhD in North America!" Grandma Yao said happily.

Director Du immediately realized which of his students Grandma Yao was referring to.

Yao Shuxin!

That girl had excellent grades and was outstanding in both character and academics. I had spoken quite a bit about her when she went to study in North America.

"Yao Shuxin is your granddaughter!" Director Du's face immediately lit up with a smile.
