Chapter 291 - Chaos
The n were confused, yet they remained silent.
After all, the patient’s condition was not critical.
It was rely a case of acute gastroenteritis.
All the doctors present were highly competent.
For them, treating such a condition was effortlessly simple.
The most bewildered were Dean Lee and Director Zhang, who exchanged puzzled glances.
Director Zhang had previously reviewed the patient’s dical records; the patient was just a regular villager.
Why were so many prominent figures gathered here?
The city’s top gastroenterologists had all assembled.
Representatives from the Health Departnt were also present.
The situation was truly astounding.
Most notably, a renowned doctor from M City, who had been paid a hefty sum just to deliver a short report at a nearby hospital, was here.
This esteed doctor was treating the old man with the utmost deference, addressing him as his ntor.
He consistently referred to the old man as his teacher.
Who was this elderly gentleman?
Director Zhang was utterly perplexed.
Suddenly, Dean Lee’s eyes lit up.
In a flurry, he took out his smartphone.
He quickly opened an app and found a docunt.
Under the docunt was a brief introduction along with two photographs.
The first photo depicted this very old man!
Dean Lee nearly passed out.
This man was a towering figure in the dical realm of the empire!
In the dical community, this elder was revered almost like a deity.
He was held in high esteem by countless individuals.
So doctors who had driven here were regular collaborators with the hospital, visiting multiple tis weekly.
Each visit required Dean Lee to extend them every courtesy, as he could not afford to displease them.
Yet, these doctors paled in comparison to the elder.
Only the most distinguished doctors could address the old man with such reverence.
Who was this young man?
Why did this revered elder respectfully call this young man Mr. Su?
And the patient was Mr. Su’s second uncle?
Dean Lee feared for his career!
Yet, no one seed to notice them.
The highly sought-after chief surgeon was now performing tasks like taking blood pressure and conducting tests.
Doctors who were usually seen in newspapers and on TV, rarely encountered in person, were now undertaking nursing duties.
And it was the leading dical reforrs who personally conducted the surgery.
This was all for a re case of acute gastroenteritis.
Normally, such a condition wouldn’t cause any concern.
But now, it left him extrely anxious.
His breathing beca slightly erratic.
Even the scalpel in his hand trembled a bit.
Lee Sui and her husband remained relatively composed.
However, Su Ming’s second aunt was far from calm.
It was usually difficult for ordinary people to secure appointnts with doctors.
Typically, they could only get appointnts with regular physicians at the hospital.
Securing a consultation with any doctor here was normally quite challenging for the average person.
Yet here were these revered doctors performing unremarkable tasks.
Second Aunt realized Su Ming was becoming increasingly influential.
Su Ming and the old man waited outside the operating room.
The old man sat down, pondered for a mont.
Then, the senior doctors neatly lined up in two rows and stood obediently along the corridor.
The hospital’s doctors and nurses erged.
The patients also ca out.
Everyone speculated about the identity of the VIP.
These doctors typically charged high consultation fees, but now they were rely standing in the hallway.
Two hours later, the operating room lights ca on.
The chief surgeon erged, soaked in sweat.
He walked out.
“Teacher, the surgery was a success,” he announced quietly and respectfully to the old man.
The chief surgeon quickly approached the old man and bowed, speaking in a subdued tone.
“Alright!”
The old man nodded and looked at Su Ming, saying, “Mr. Su, your uncle's surgery went well. He should be fine as long as he takes proper care of himself.”
“Teacher, please have Mr. Su's uncle co to my hospital. We have better facilities,” a doctor nearby interjected.
At that mont, another doctor stepped forward.
“Teacher, ignore him. Mr. Su's uncle should co to my hospital. We have a special ward with all necessary anities, and his stay would be free.”
Another doctor interjected, “Don't listen to them. Their hospital isn’t as good. Our hospital is the finest in the city.”
“Teacher, don’t believe them. Hospitals in M City are superior!”
“M City is too far post-surgery. Despite your academic position during our PhD days, it’s better for Mr. Lee to co to my hospital,” another added.
“I was the first to offer. What are you suggesting?”
“Being first doesn’t matter!”
“Our hospital not only provides ample dical resources but is also conveniently located. We’ll cover all dical costs for Mr. Lee's family!”
“All dical costs for both Mr. Lee's and Mr. Su's families will be waived at our hospital!”
