late at night.
It's almost eleven o'clock.
Su Zhengnan and his fifth senior brother Li Huai'an prepared to leave Renhe Hospital.
Xu Jiayin personally saw them both out of the hospital gate, smiling as he said to Su Zhengnan:
"Dr. Su, thank you so much for today. Don't worry about the consultation fee; I will definitely transfer 100 million yuan into your account before tomorrow night."
Xu Jiayin could have transferred the money right now.
However, in order to ensure that the prescription given by Su Zhengnan was indeed effective in treating his father's illness, Xu Jiayin decided to wait until Su Zhengnan came over the next day to perform acupuncture before making any further decisions.
After all, this is a consultation fee of 100 million yuan. How could I possibly transfer it to the other party just because I took medicine once today?
Besides, his father hasn't woken up yet.
Xu Jiayin isn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't transfer the 100 million yuan consultation fee to Su Zhengnan right now.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Then let me come over tomorrow and we'll talk about it. The old man still needs acupuncture. He should be able to wake up after taking another dose of medicine tomorrow, but he still won't be able to speak. Mr. Xu, please be prepared."
"Ah, yes, I understand, thank you Dr. Su."
Although Xu Jiayin was anxious, he knew that his father's condition could not improve so quickly.
Then, he turned and shook hands with Li Huai'an again, saying:
"Thank you, Director Li. Otherwise, if you had brought Dr. Su with you, I don't know what would have happened to my father!"
"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. Treating the sick and saving lives is our duty as doctors. It's what we medical professionals should do."
Li Huai'an smiled and nodded, saying, "President Xu, let's leave here. We should go back and rest."
"Alright, alright, then take care, you two. I won't see you off any further."
Xu Jiayin smiled and said something, then waved to the two of them and turned to walk back.
Su Zhengnan and his fifth senior brother Li Huai'an exchanged a glance and smiled at each other before driving away.
Not long after the two of them drove away.
Grandpa Xu, lying in the VIP deluxe ward, twitched his eyelids slightly a few times, and the data on various monitoring devices began to rise.
Beep beep beep.....
The electrocardiogram monitor and the blood gas analyzer both went off at the same time.
"Hey, the patient's heart rate and blood pressure have increased! Quick, go get Dr. Wu!"
The nurse in charge of the care immediately lit up with joy and ran out to call for the attending physician, Wu Shengde.
Wu Shengde arrived at the ward looking completely bewildered. Looking at the changes in the data on the electrocardiogram monitor and blood gas analyzer, he was stunned on the spot.
"This...this...how is this possible? Grandpa Xu's heart rate and blood pressure have both spiked?"
Wu Shengde stared in shock at the changes in the data on the monitor, and immediately instructed the nurse:
"Quickly, bring the examination equipment over here. I need to check on Grandpa Xu's health."
"Ah, yes!"
The nurse nodded in response and turned to push the testing machine.
Just then, Xu Jiayin, who had returned from outside, walked in and overheard Wu Shengde's words:
"No need, Dr. Wu, you don't need to worry about my father's condition. Let Dr. Su handle it instead!"
"Oh...this is not in accordance with hospital regulations!"
Wu Shengde was taken aback for a moment, then murmured, "After all, your father was hospitalized in our hospital. If our hospital doesn't give your father a checkup, then..."
"No need!"
Xu Jiayin wasn't buying it at all. The hospital's tactics might scare ordinary patients' families, but they wouldn't frighten him.
“If your hospital feels this is not acceptable, I can arrange for my father to be transferred to another hospital immediately. I believe Director Li of the First People’s Hospital will be happy to treat him.”
As he spoke, Xu Jiayin took out his phone and made a call to Li Huai'an.
"ah?"
Wu Shengde was stunned and stood there speechless.
"Strange, why is Mr. Xu calling again?"
As Li Huai'an sat in his car on his way home, he glanced at the caller ID and then pressed the answer button.
Xu Jiayin then mentioned on the phone that his father wanted to be transferred to the First People's Hospital and hoped that Li Huaian could admit him.
Li Huai'an naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, admitting Xu Jiayin's father to the hospital would generate revenue for their department, and their junior colleague already had a treatment plan.
With that in mind, Li Huai'an immediately agreed.
Afterwards, Li Huai'an hung up the phone and said to Su Zhengnan with a smile:
"That Mr. Xu wants to transfer his father to our hospital."
"Oh, senior brother, you agree?"
"Of course we agree. He's a big spender; our department's revenue this year will depend on him."
"Hehe, that's true!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and replied, then focused on driving his fifth senior brother home first.
After sending his fifth senior brother home, Su Zhengnan turned around and went back to his own residence. He washed up and lay down on the bed, ending his day's work.
Then, nothing more was said that night.
.............
The next day.
Early in the morning!
After getting up early for his morning exercise, Su Zhengnan drove to the hospital to go to work.
Actually, saying he's at work isn't accurate. He's just a part-time doctor, not a full-time one. He mainly helps his senior brother teach a few students.
Today is Thursday, and the weather outside is getting hotter and hotter.
As soon as Su Zhengnan arrived at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the First People's Hospital of Beijing, he saw Li Haoran and the other two already dressed in white coats, waiting for him at the entrance of the doctors' lounge.
"Hey, you three are all here pretty early today!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and greeted the three of them.
"Good morning, Teacher Su!"
Li Haoran and the other two responded in unison.
"Hmm, not bad!"
Su Zhengnan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, you three go wait for me in the clinic. I'll be there as soon as I change."
"Okay, teacher!"
Li Haoran and the other two nodded in agreement and headed straight for the clinic.
After changing into his white coat, Su Zhengnan glanced at the time and muttered to himself:
"Why isn't Doctor Sun here again? Did he oversleep again?"
"Fine, let her be!"
With that, Su Zhengnan turned around and went to the clinic, then turned on the work computer on his desk.
It was only a little before eight in the morning.
Su Zhengnan sat down and asked Li Haoran and the other two, "Have you three had breakfast? If not, you can go across from the hospital and buy some. Don't go to work hungry."
"We've already eaten, thank you for your concern, Teacher Su."
Li Haoran and the other two nodded and smiled in unison.
"Yes, that's enough."
Su Zhengnan nodded, and was about to say something more when his phone suddenly rang.
Ring ring!
Su Zhengnan took out his phone and saw that it was his fifth senior brother calling. He quickly pressed the answer button.
"Hey, senior brother, what's up?"
"Yes, Xu Jiayin's father is being transferred to another hospital soon. He'll be here this morning, and he specifically asked you to be the one to receive and admit him."
Li Huai'an said on the other end of the phone, "They should arrive at our hospital around nine o'clock. Come over then."
"Uh, okay!"
Su Zhengnan nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"That's all for this matter."
Li Huai'an asked with a smile, "By the way, how are your students doing, Second Senior Brother? How did their clinical training go yesterday?"
"They're alright. These three students are quite good; they have good learning abilities."
"Okay, that's good."
Li Huai'an hung up the phone with relief.
Su Zhengnan put away his phone and said to Li Haoran and the other two, "A special patient will be transferred to the hospital later. You three get ready, I'll take you to see him."
"Okay, Teacher Su, we understand."
Li Haoran and the other two nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with curiosity about what kind of special patient it was.
After all, in traditional Chinese medicine, patients who can be called special patients either have special identities or special illnesses.
So, is it because of his special status?
Or is it a special case of illness?
Li Haoran and Cheng Jingya exchanged a glance, both feeling very curious, but neither dared to ask.
Tap tap tap...
It was 8:20 a.m.
Sun Huaiwei rushed to the hospital in a hurry, then changed into a white coat and appeared in front of Su Zhengnan.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"I'm so sorry, Dr. Su, I... I'm late again!"
Sun Huaiwei ran into the clinic, panting, and greeted Su Zhengnan somewhat embarrassedly.
Su Zhengnan glanced at her and said, "There are still ten minutes before work starts. You should try to get up earlier in the future. Studying is your own business, and I won't say much to you."
"No... I'm so sorry, I really apologize!"
Sun Huaiwei knew that her lateness had a bad influence, and she apologized to Su Zhengnan repeatedly.
Su Zhengnan shook his head slightly without replying, and instead turned to Li Haoran and the other two, saying:
"It's almost time to start work. Let's get ready and try to increase the number of patients we see today."
"You only saw fewer than thirty patients yesterday, which shows that your clinical skills are very poor and there is still a lot of room for improvement."
"Understood, Teacher Su!"
Li Haoran and the other two nodded in unison. They realized that their clinical skills were a bit lacking, otherwise they wouldn't have only seen a few patients in a day.
Soon, it was 8:30.
The entire hospital became busy.
Just as Su Zhengnan finished speaking with Li Haoran and the other two, a patient walked in from outside with a registration slip in hand.
The patient who entered was a young woman.
As soon as she entered the consultation room, seeing several doctors in white coats sitting inside, Shi Jingru was startled and asked in disbelief in a soft voice:
"Hello, excuse me... Is this an outpatient clinic?"
