Vice Dean Zhang first turned to look at the people around him, then lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Li, do you know what you're saying?"
"I know," Li Chu nodded, saying with certainty.
Vice Dean Zhang let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and walked forward with his hands behind his back. Li Chu followed him.
After taking a few steps, Vice Dean Zhang asked, "How confident are you?"
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Seventy or eighty percent, or even higher."
Vice Dean Zhang turned to look at him and said, "I understand. Go eat first."
As they walked towards the conference room after dinner, Vice President Zhang approached President Liu from the main hospital, and the two talked as they walked. Li Chu followed at a distance behind them.
After a while, Li Chu saw Vice Dean Zhang turn his head and glance at him, then wave at him. Li Chu quickly walked over.
After walking up to the two men, Vice President Zhang introduced him, "Xiao Li, this is President Liu from the main hospital."
Li Chu greeted Dean Liu with utmost respect. The fact that this elderly man could become the dean of the main hospital and wear a gold star badge on his collar signified that he had lived through that arduous and challenging period and had made significant contributions to the country. For such a person, no amount of respect was excessive.
Dean Liu nodded to Li Chu and said, "Little Li, I know you, and I also know your master. I greatly admire Elder Yang's medical skills. Now tell me your thoughts on this patient's condition."
The three of them stood in the center of the courtyard, and Li Chu explained his ideas and the subsequent treatment plan one by one.
People passing by would glance in this direction, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
After listening, Dean Liu remained noncommittal and turned to leave without saying a word.
Vice Dean Zhang said to Li Chu, "Don't be impatient, let's go to the conference room."
Back in the meeting room, the discussion continued, resulting in two proposals, but it was clear that Dean Liu was not satisfied.
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet for a moment." Dean Liu interrupted the discussion. "I have a treatment plan here. I'll tell you all and you can all see what you think."
Then Dean Liu repeated the plan that Li Chu had just mentioned. Although Dean Liu was old, his memory was really amazing. He remembered almost everything Li Chu had said after hearing it only once.
After listening to Dean Liu's explanation, everyone turned their attention to the two veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctors. This plan was a treatment method based on traditional Chinese medicine, and only the two of them could judge whether it was feasible.
"Old Wang, what do you think of this plan?" Dean Liu asked directly when he saw that the two old Chinese medicine doctors had not spoken.
The elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor surnamed Wang, who had been called out, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dean Liu, the acupuncture technique you just mentioned, if I heard correctly, should be the unique technique of Elder Yang Chenghe. But Elder Yang has passed away now, this..."
Upon hearing this, Dean Liu asked, "Professor Wang, putting aside that method, do you think this plan is feasible?"
Before Old Wang could speak, another elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor spoke up: "I have personally witnessed Old Yang performing acupuncture. According to the acupuncture technique that Dean Liu just mentioned, the two techniques are actually different, but I can't say for sure without seeing it in person. If someone really knows this acupuncture technique, this plan is still feasible."
Old Wang nodded, "Yes, the prescription is quite bold, but upon closer examination, the plan is indeed feasible." He then turned to the old Chinese medicine doctor beside him and asked, "Old Fang, you've seen Old Yang perform acupuncture before, can you do it?"
Old Fang gave a wry smile: "If you could learn it just by watching, it wouldn't be a unique technique. But as far as I know, Old Yang should have apprentices."
Old Wang stared wide-eyed at Old Fang: "Old Yang has an apprentice? When did he take him in? I never heard of him when I was in the group."
"It's normal that you didn't know that Elder Yang had taken on a disciple before joining the health care team," Dean Liu explained.
Two of the people sitting at the table nodded, confirming that it was indeed true.
"Dean Liu, since you all know about Elder Yang's apprentice, why don't you send someone to find him? He should know Elder Yang's techniques, right?" Elder Wang said to Dean Liu.
Dean Liu didn't say anything, but glanced at the clock on the wall before saying, "Alright, it's getting late, let's call it a day. I'll think about it some more. Thank you all. Xiao Yang, could you see these colleagues from the Foreign Languages Institute off for me? Vice Dean Zhang, Xiao Li, you two stay behind."
Upon hearing Dean Liu's words, everyone stood up, greeted him, and headed out of the meeting room.
"Director Xu, please wait a moment," Dean Liu said, leaving one person behind.
After Dr. Yang saw the person off and returned, Dean Liu finally spoke up: "Director Xu, Xiao Yang, and Vice Dean Zhang, you all know them. The young man next to him is Li Chu, a disciple of Master Yang Chenghe, and he is now an attending physician in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The treatment plan I just mentioned was proposed by Xiao Li."
Dean Liu then said to Li Chu, "Little Li, what else do you need us to do now?"
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Dean Liu, the patient is still unconscious. We'll give him acupuncture to wake him up first, then I'll prescribe some medicine. He should take it once today, twice a day for the next two days, and we'll start treatment on the fourth day. The patient is too weak right now and is not suitable for acupuncture treatment."
"Xiao Li, if I may ask, are you confident in your chances?" Director Xu, who had also been kept behind by Dean Liu, asked.
At this moment, Vice President Zhang, who had been silent since entering the conference room, spoke up: "Director Xu, Li Chu is a doctor in our hospital, and as his superior, I endorse him."
Dean Liu waved his hand and said, "Vice Dean Zhang, this is the main hospital, my territory. It's not your place to endorse this. Xiao Li, don't take it to heart. Director Xu is just concerned about the patient's safety. Director Xu was in charge of the previous rescue work."
Li Chu hurriedly said, "Dean Liu, it's normal for Director Xu to ask. After all, life and death are no small matters. I didn't think much of it." He paused for a moment and then said, "Dean Liu, could you please send someone to bring my needle up? It's in my bag in the guard room on the first floor."
"Alright, let's not delay, let's go to the ward now." After saying that, Dean Liu took the lead and walked out, with Li Chu and the other three following behind.
As they walked, Dean Liu said to Dr. Yang, "Xiao Yang, please organize the medical records and write down the confirmed treatment plan in detail. I will sign it after Xiao Li has signed it."
"Understood, Dean Liu!" Dr. Yang replied.
Director Xu patted Li Chu on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Li, the patient in the hospital bed saved my life on the battlefield before, so I asked him a question. I didn't mean anything by it."
"Director Xu, you don't need to explain. I really didn't think anything of it," Li Chu said with a smile.
Vice President Zhang also said from the side, "Xiao Li, don't be stressed. Your treatment plan should be fine. Just follow your own ideas."
When they reached the third floor, Dean Liu arranged for a soldier on guard to go downstairs to retrieve Li Chu's bag.
