Chapter 439 The Honest Old Lady
Yao Shula trusted Grandma Yao completely; if Grandma Yao didn't need their help, then she definitely didn't need their help.
Or perhaps Grandma Yao felt that going alone would be more effective than going with a large group of people.
In matters like this, it's best to respect Grandma Yao's opinion.
And so, on the day before she was to return, Grandma Yao changed into a clean but somewhat worn set of clothes and set off again.
Yao Shula looked at Grandma Yao's clothes...
Grandma's dressed up again!
...
Grandma Yao, dressed in old clothes, came to Huashan Hospital once again, holding a wrapped-up banner in her hand.
The first impression people had of Grandma Yao was that she was an elderly woman from a small town who had come to Shanghai for medical treatment.
Look at those timid and nervous eyes, and that cautious look. Sigh, it's not easy for elderly people to come here for medical treatment!
Grandma Yao took the banner and walked towards the clinic where she had previously seen Director Du.
At the outpatient clinic, where there was a long queue, Grandma Yao cautiously asked the nurse at the door.
Is Director Du in the outpatient clinic today?
The nurse looked up and immediately shook her head.
"Dr. Du isn't in the outpatient clinic today! He should be in the wards! What's wrong? Is there something you need?" the nurse asked.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yao quickly put on a look of disappointment and regret.
"Oh? Director Du isn't in the outpatient clinic! I... I came to give Director Du a banner, I wanted to hand it to him, but..."
"Oh, it's all my fault, I didn't do my research properly!"
The nurse's eyes lit up when she heard that the banner was for Director Du.
"Is it for delivering a banner to the director? Why don't you leave it with me, and I'll give it to Director Du when he comes?"
Many people waiting in line at the outpatient clinic gathered around when they heard this.
"Send a banner to Director Du! Director Du's medical skills are truly excellent."
"Yes! Director Du is a very good doctor and he's very kind to his patients. He just has a bad temper, but that's normal. Some patients just don't listen to him and act like they can't understand human language."
"Yes, I also came to see Director Du last time. Director Du said that I had a minor ailment and just needed regular check-ups."
He even said that for a minor ailment like mine, I didn't need to make a special appointment with him; a regular doctor could handle it.
“That’s right! When I came last time, Director Du didn’t even let me do the examination. He said it was unnecessary and he could tell what was wrong just by looking at me. He said that everyone’s money is hard-earned.”
"Oh, Director Du is such a good person!"
Everyone was saying how great Director Du was.
The outpatient area suddenly became lively.
Grandma Yao still looked very cautious, and even asked the nurse how to get to Director Du's ward, and which way to go...
Finally, Grandma Yao left satisfied with the banner; she was going to the ward to present it to Director Du!
Of course she knew that Director Du was not in the outpatient clinic today.
She had already found out which day Director Du would be seeing patients at the outpatient clinic.
She not only found out that Director Du wasn't in the outpatient clinic today, but she also found out that he wasn't in the wards either, as he was going to be performing surgeries all day!
...
Grandma Yao, still looking very cautious, went to the ward again.
She saw someone in a white coat and asked for directions to Director Du's ward. She had come to present Director Du with a banner.
Well, after going around in circles and asking no fewer than ten people, Grandma Yao still couldn't get the banner into Director Du's hands.
Despite the earnest gazes of the nurses and other doctors in the ward, Grandma Yao passed away with disappointment.
Sigh, why is it so difficult to deliver a banner to someone's hands?
What if someone hides the banner and doesn't give it to Director Du?
Although Grandma Yao trusted the integrity of these doctors and nurses, their bright eyes made her a little worried. What if something happened?
So, Grandma Yao thought that although she wouldn't be able to see Director Du today, she could still send the banner to Director Du's superiors!
Let the leader pass it on to Director Du; that way, there's no need to worry about someone else pocketing the banner.
Who are the hospital's leaders? They must be people connected to the hospital director!
After scouting the area yesterday, Grandma Yao found the dean's office by chance, though it was a bit of a bumpy road.
Of course, she asked people for directions along the way.
...
The secretary in the dean's office looked at the old lady with some surprise.
Although his clothes were clean and tidy, it was obvious that he wasn't from Shanghai; he must have come from a small town to see a doctor.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you...?" The secretary looked at Grandma Yao in surprise.
Grandma Yao quickly explained that she had come to present a banner.
For example, when I came to see the doctor that day, how carefully Dr. Du diagnosed me and how he comforted and reassured me.
If it weren't for Director Du's words of comfort, she would definitely still be feeling a heavy weight on her mind!
Grandma Yao then said that she didn't know how to express her gratitude to Director Du. She thought that if she gave him a red envelope, he would definitely not accept it, so she could only give him a banner.
But as a country girl, she didn't know these hospital rules, nor did she know that Director Du didn't see patients every day.
She ran around the clinic, but she didn't see Director Du there either, nor did she see him in the wards...
Having no other choice, she had to deliver the banner to the leader.
We hope the leaders can hand over the banner to Director Du.
Upon hearing Grandma Yao's words, the dean's secretary immediately envisioned this scene.
An elderly woman from the countryside walked into Huashan Hospital with a blank expression. Knowing nothing about the hospital, she encountered Director Du, who was both ethical and skilled in medicine...
The kind and simple old lady didn't know how to express her gratitude to Director Du, so she made a banner instead.
It took most of the day to get this banner to Director Du...
Ah, such simple and honest people!
Who says doctor-patient relations are tense now? Aren't there still good doctor-patient relationships?
The dean's secretary immediately understood what could be used to make a fuss about this.
"Don't worry, ma'am, we will definitely deliver this banner to Director Du," the dean's secretary immediately assured him.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yao felt that her goal had been achieved and quickly got up.
"Comrade! In that case, I won't disturb your work any longer. I know your hospital is busy. I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. Thank you!"
After saying that, Grandma Yao happily went home.
The dean's secretary thought for a moment, then opened the banner and looked at it again. He then turned around and delivered the banner to the dean's office, and also gave a brief report.
This was the first time the hospital director had ever seen a doctor present a banner of appreciation to his office.
When I asked again, I found out it was a gift for Director Du, and I laughed.
"Great news!! Let's talk about this at the meeting next Monday and give Lao Du a shout-out."
Old Du has excellent medical skills and good medical ethics, but he's stubborn.
In our hospital, professional competence is still the most important thing! We can talk about Lao Du's situation in detail.
"Isn't Lao Qian going to retire? Lao Du is still capable of being a vice dean." The dean immediately set the tone for the matter.
A vice president cannot just be good at everything; their medical skills and ethics must also be outstanding. Director Du is very qualified in this regard.
