As the host introduced the news, the footage switched to a live broadcast from a Southeast Asian country.
Despite being called a hospital, it was extremely rudimentary. At first glance, it didn't even meet basic disinfection standards. It was just an ordinary residential building with a few beds haphazardly placed there, which was then called a ward.
Due to the hot weather, flies could even be seen flying around in the footage.
Due to the large number of patients, the beds were packed tightly together, with only one or two meters between each bed. The temporary beds in the corridors were even more crowded.
Lin Yang frowned as he read this.
Are you kidding me?
This is an infectious disease. To contain its spread, each patient should be isolated individually. But these hospitals are doing the opposite. Isn't this just making things worse?
Liu Baohua's expression was completely opposite to Lin Yang's.
His green eyes were glued to the news screen, and he was grinning from ear to ear.
"So many patients? In just one or two weeks, eight thousand people have already died. Not bad, not bad. What did I just say? Everything is ready except for the east wind. Look, the east wind has arrived."
Liu Baohua rubbed his hands together, his desire for fame and fortune practically written all over his face.
As the saying goes, troubled times produce heroes.
The more patients there are, and the more severe their condition, the greater the chance of becoming famous.
Even if the final result is not satisfactory, at least we can play the goodwill card, establish a positive image of Chinese medicine clinic as a place of benevolence and compassion, do some good marketing, and make our presence known.
This is definitely not a loss!
Seeing this, Lin Yang could no longer hold back. The raging anger burning in his chest almost made his blood boil, and he shouted, "You surnamed Liu, do you have any conscience?"
Let alone doctors, even ordinary people would feel pity and sympathy when they see patients struggling and groaning in pain.
But Liu Baohua clapped and cheered!
"Pah! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for!"
Liu Baohua rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Please wake up! You're a doctor, and I'm a pharmaceutical company. Without these patients, where would we make money?"
Every doctor says they hope patients recover quickly and that there will be no more illness in the world, but Liu Baohua knows very well that these are just empty words.
The truth, however, cannot be openly discussed.
"Lin Yang, just you wait. I'll go back and have Director Guo form a rescue team in the name of the Chinese Medicine Clinic to provide support in Southeast Asia. Then I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
Thinking of this, Liu Baohua didn't want to waste any more time with Lin Yang. He left with one last harsh remark, and left happily, as if he could already see a bright future beckoning to him from not far away.
Without hesitation, Lin Yang's gaze fell intently on the registration phone number at the bottom of the news screen.
...
Three days later, at the airport.
Lin Yang was dressed simply, with only a simple suitcase beside him. Beside him, Su Xiaoxiao and the others looked at him with worry and reluctance, a thousand words stuck in their throats.
"Lin Yang, honestly, you're going to Southeast Asia to provide support, why didn't you tell us in advance? We could have signed up with you!" Ge Qingshan said with tears in his eyes, admiring Lin Yang even more, and feeling that his old bones were far inferior to even one-thousandth of the young man in front of him.
Su Xiaoxiao and Tian Zaizhong were extremely worried.
The place had extremely poor sanitation, and its economic and cultural development lagged behind. It was no exaggeration to describe it as a barbaric wasteland.
Lin Yang is all alone in this unfamiliar place. What if something happens to him?
They were far away across the ocean and couldn't offer any help.
Lin Yang shook his head and smiled, indicating that they didn't need to worry.
"It's alright, I can go by myself. You all stay at Zhongxing Medical Center so you can see any patients that come."
Although Zhongxing Medical Clinic is not as popular as it used to be, Lin Yang still has a few "die-hard fans".
There are already few patients. If everyone goes to Southeast Asia, wouldn't even the last small group of patients disappear?
Most importantly, Ge Qingshan is old, Su Xiaoxiao is delicate and weak, and Tian Zaizhong has also caught a cold and is not feeling well. They don't seem like suitable to go to Southeast Asia with him to suffer.
Lin Yang volunteered to go and provide support; it was his own decision, and naturally, he was the only one who signed up.
What's the point of dragging other people along?
Purely generous to others.
"Okay! Lin Yang, don't worry, we'll manage the clinic well. You must be careful. Even if you can't cure the patients, you must ensure your own safety, okay?"
"Yes, treating the sick and saving lives is important, but as long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback."
"Remember to call us often."
The three of them gave Lin Yang some words of advice, and only when the registration time was about to end did they reluctantly watch him leave.
The plane took off and landed smoothly.
At an airport in a Southeast Asian country, Lin Yang had just gotten off the plane and was about to collect his luggage when he ran into a group of people.
The leader was none other than Liu Baohua.
This is what they mean by "enemies meeting on a narrow road".
However, many of the passengers on this flight were doctors from various countries who came to support the fight against the infectious disease epidemic, so it was not surprising that they encountered Liu Baohua and Director Guo.
Look at their entourage! They have bodyguards, translators, and even reporters following them around. If you didn't know better, you'd think some big star had arrived.
Lin Yang narrowed his eyes, turned around and walked away, not wanting to waste any more words with Liu Baohua.
Outside the airport, there are shuttle buses specifically for support teams, which go directly from the airport to the hospital.
Lin Yang was walking towards the bus when a gasp came from the crowd nearby.
Although they couldn't understand each other's language, Lin Yang could still make out a few words from fragments.
"Help! Help! Someone has fainted!"
"His eyes are rolling back, he's vomiting... Could he have caught a contagious disease? Run! This disease can kill you!"
"Damn it! Knowing he had a fever, why did he still come to the airport? The airport is so crowded, isn't he deliberately trying to harm people? Where are the police? Arrest him and sentence him!"
"The police have already hidden themselves away..."
The crowd erupted into chaos, chattering and scattering in all directions. Even the police officers maintaining order vanished, leaving only the pitiful middle-aged woman lying on the ground, convulsing and vomiting, uttering painful cries.
Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Yang saw that Liu Baohua and his group also avoided them with disdain, showing no intention of helping them at all.
He could vaguely hear Liu Baohua's voice coming from there.
"Reporter Wang, point your camera this way, but don't film that woman having an episode, so as not to cause trouble and gossip after it's broadcast."
"Don't misunderstand, it's not that we don't want to help, but the airport facilities are rudimentary. We have all the medical skills we need, but we can't use them. You can't blame us for that!"
