The young man stared at her serious face in a daze: this female doctor was as young as a student, but spoke like an old doctor, which made him dazed for a while.
Xie Wanying handed the medical records and examination forms to the patient.
"Doctor, is my condition serious?" the young man kept asking.
"Whether it's serious or not depends on whether you listen to the doctor from now on." Xie Wanying said this to the patient in a firm tone.
Her words had a remarkable effect. The young man was so scared that his hands were shaking a little. He hurried out to pay the money and have his blood drawn.
Seeing the patient running away, Xie Wanying turned around and realized that she had said too much again. Fortunately, Teacher Tan only gave her a sharp look: it seemed that he didn't intend to criticize her.
The following consultations went smoothly. Many patients came for follow-up visits, mainly to get prescriptions, and it was easy to finish. Most of the other patients who came for the first visit had been examined in other hospitals like old lady No. 1, but their conditions were not as serious as the old lady's. The doctor roughly knew what was wrong after looking through the examination list from the other hospital. These patients, like the old lady, came to ask the famous doctor of the National Association for surgery.
The beds in the National Association Hospital are always in short supply. Patients with non-urgent conditions can only wait in line, leaving the doctors to deal with more urgent and critical patients. For example, the patient in bed 1 in ward that night was admitted to the emergency department. The bed was originally reserved for other patients the next day, so the emergency department had to be admitted first. Some patients, thinking that they might have to wait in a long line, were persuaded by the doctors in the National Association Hospital to go back to the grassroots hospitals with relatively more beds for surgery.
In fact, there is really no need to find a famous doctor to do some minor surgeries. The results of the surgeries are similar. It is better to go to the grassroots level to get it done instead of waiting in a long queue here to avoid more trouble. But some patients don't listen and insist on having a famous doctor do it, and the doctor can't do anything about it. Xie Wanying understood why Teacher Tan simply became a Buddhist when he was outpatient.

...
Finally I saw the last patient. It was already 12:30 noon.
"Jiang Yazhi." Xie Wanying walked to the door and read the patient's name.
A father stood up holding a six-year-old girl in his arms: "Hello, doctor."
Jiang Yazhi was a six-year-old patient who was carried into the clinic by his father. As soon as he sat down with his father, he turned his head and saw the doctor in a white coat. He was so scared that he hid in his father's arms.
Children have a natural fear of white coats.
The nurse came to clear the area and saw the little patient and said, "Doesn't our hospital have a pediatric surgery department? Why don't you go there?"
Yazhi's father responded, "I asked someone and he said we should come see Dr. Tan."
The actual situation is that most of the children and infants who come to the National Association for Surgery for surgery are sent to the adult surgery department. The National Association for Surgery for Pediatrics has just been established. It is said that the ward is in a small building with only a dozen beds. It is not yet able to perform complex surgeries. Many personnel and technologies are not in place. Seriously ill children cannot go there for treatment.
For child patients, the capital has the most famous Capital Children's Hospital in the country. Generally, seriously ill children go there for treatment. The Children's Hospital has a full range of pediatric experts. Could it be that this patient has never been to the Children's Hospital for treatment?
"I went there, and the doctor at the Children's Hospital said it couldn't be done." Yazhi's father said this with a heavy heart.
Another patient who said he couldn’t have surgery? And it was the doctor at Capital Children’s Hospital who said he couldn’t have surgery?
"What's going on?" The nurse asked with a big question mark in her eyes, not believing it.
The patient's medical record states: Multiple gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma in children.
The patient's initial CT examination showed tumors in both the stomach and intestines.
