Chapter 782: Seeing a Doctor
"There’s basically nothing to worry about anymore."
Xiao Yi glanced at Old Mr. Sima, who still hadn’t regained consciousness on the bed, his body covered in sweat and emitting a faint odor, and said lightly, "In a moment, when the elder wakes up, help him to wash, then I will prescribe him another formula. If he takes it for a few more days, there should be no problems."
"Yes, please prescribe it, Doctor Xiao! I will find someone to prepare it immediately."
Upon hearing that his father was alright, Mr. Sima’s face showed an uncontrollable joy and excitement, and he nodded repeatedly with happiness.
Xiao Yi didn’t say much, simply pushed open the door, and stepped out of the partition.
"Xiao Yi, is the treatment over? Everything went well, right?"
Just as Xiao Yi stepped out, he was met by An Jinhua, who was on his way there. Seeing Xiao Yi, a smile instantly appeared on An’s face, and then he asked somewhat nervously. The treatment process had just extended for two hours, which he hadn’t expected, and although he had gone to check several times, he hadn’t been able to help. To avoid disturbing Xiao Yi’s treatment, he stepped back out, but he kept worrying about what was happening inside. In his heart, Xiao Yi’s medical skills were extremely brilliant, but after all, Old Mr. Sima’s condition was also quite serious.
If it were normal times, Elder An might not be so nervous. After all, treating illnesses meant the physician was fighting against the heavens for the patient’s life, and one could only do their best and leave the rest to fate. But today was different. Xiao Yi had even accepted the consultation fee yesterday—a staggering fifty million!
"Everything went smoothly. I’ll prescribe another formula, and then there shouldn’t be any issues," he said.
Feeling the concern coming from Elder An’s eyes, Xiao Yi was moved and smiled.
"That’s good, haha, that’s good. I knew it, nothing is too difficult for you!"
Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, An Jinhua’s heart settled down and a cheerful smile appeared on his face as he laughed.
"Yes, Doctor Xiao’s medical skills are truly excellent. Even the divine doctor Hua Tuo might not compare to him!"
Mr. Sima, who had also followed out, looked at Xiao Yi with admiration and respect.
"Elder An, Mr. Sima, you flatter me too much. Xiao Yi only knows a little, and this time, it was also just good luck," Xiao Yi said with a wry smile.
After speaking, he wiped his forehead wearily with his hand and directly said, "I’ll go write that prescription now. Once you’re ready, go downstairs to get the medicine and prepare it."
Hearing Xiao Yi’s modesty, Mr. Sima, who was just about to praise Xiao Yi further, stopped himself immediately, not daring to disturb him.
Having long grown accustomed to Xiao Yi’s humility, An Jinhua saw him busy himself with the prescription and did not say anything more. He just shook his head and went back to his own station to get on with his work.
"This prescription, remember, tell them they must strictly measure the medicines as I have prescribed and not make any mistakes. Also, let them simmer it for a longer time," Xiao Yi said.
Returning to his desk, Xiao Yi quickly wrote out a prescription, checked it carefully, and then handed it to Mr. Sima with serious instructions.
"Alright, I understand. I’ll get the medicine right now," Mr. Sima said as he respectfully took the prescription from Xiao Yi’s hand, his face full of gratitude. "Really, thank you, Doctor Xiao."
Xiao Yi waved his hand, signaling him to proceed, then he didn’t say anything further and closed his eyes to begin regulating his breath.
Seeing Xiao Yi’s expression, Mr. Sima didn’t dare to say anything more. Holding the prescription, he went to get the medicine and also arranged for a hospital room as he had already decided to have his father stay in the hospital until he fully recovered.
Not far away, while attending to the next patient, An Jinhua looked at Xiao Yi, who had his eyes closed and was regulating his breath. Observing the indescribable weariness on his face, a hint of pity appeared in his eyes. Having just witnessed the treatment process by Xiao Yi, he finally understood that treating a patient was indeed a strenuous task for Xiao Yi, at least not as simple as he had previously imagined, especially when dealing with critically ill patients.
In his heart, he secretly decided that unless absolutely necessary, unless it was a very critical patient, he would try his best not to trouble Xiao Yi. Life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are in the hands of heaven. Everyone’s life has its destiny, and it is impossible for Xiao Yi to snatch every patient from the hands of the King of Hell.
With the rise of Western medicine over the years, traditional Chinese medicine was often considered outdated and useless, leading to the gradual decline of TCM departments in various hospitals. Some hospitals had even completely eliminated their TCM departments.
However, such was not the case at the Provincial People’s Hospital. Influenced by An Jinhua’s reputation, the doctors in the TCM department here were almost always too busy to keep up, with a non-stop flow of patients seeking treatment.
Although most of these patients came specifically for Divine Doctor An Jinhua, Elder An was getting on in years. Even if he was in good physical and mental condition, his energy was limited and he could not attend to all patients. Therefore, he could only see a select few, and the rest had to consult other doctors.
Xiao Yi did not rest for long before a patient sought him out. When he had arrived that morning, the nurses downstairs had already been informed of his presence, so they had scheduled appointments for him. It was just that earlier, when he was treating Old Mr. Sima, An Jinhua had seen his patients for him.
Now that Xiao Yi was available, it was naturally his turn to see the patients.
"Excuse me, is Doctor Xiao here?"
The first patient was a middle-aged woman who, after entering, scanned the office and then asked the nurse beside her with a puzzled look.
"Yes, over here, Doctor Xiao, your patient."
The nurse enthusiastically led the middle-aged woman to Xiao Yi and called out to him.
"Him?"
Upon hearing the nurse call Xiao Yi ’Doctor Xiao’, the middle-aged woman’s expression changed instantly. She had not expected that this young man would be Doctor Xiao. She had seen him earlier but thought he was just a student from the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, shadowing Divine Doctor An as an intern, while she was booked for an expert consultation!
"Yes, auntie, let me tell you, don’t judge Doctor Xiao by his youth; he is indeed one of the best doctors we have here."
The nurse, having encountered such a reaction before, quickly guessed the middle-aged woman’s thoughts and explained with a smile.
"Him? I think I will not see him; I want to change to another doctor."
Despite the nurse’s explanation, the middle-aged woman eyed Xiao Yi with a hint of suspicion, then finally turned and headed toward the door.
Watching the middle-aged woman leave, Xiao Yi did not call out to her or try to stop her. From the moment she entered, he had already diagnosed that her condition was not serious. Regardless of which doctor in the TCM department she chose to see, there would basically be no problem.
Having experienced such situations before, he had grown numb to them.
However, the nurse and An Jinhua nearby felt indignant on behalf of Xiao Yi while continuously shaking their heads in pity for the middle-aged woman, especially An Jinhua, who sighed repeatedly in his heart. In this world, ignorance still prevailed. They did not consider that if the hospital dared to let Xiao Yi treat patients, especially listing him as an expert, how could he be subpar? Just earlier, Xiao Yi had charged fifty million for a consultation fee; these people had the opportunity for a mere few tens of dollars and still did not appreciate it!
Nonetheless, patients like the middle-aged woman were in the minority. Most patients, although hesitant upon seeing how young Xiao Yi was, had already made their appointments and would still sit down to let him examine them.
Not every patient was in such critical condition as Old Mr. Sima; most were just ordinary people. For Xiao Yi, such common ailments were a trifle. Using the four diagnostic methods, he hardly needed to take their pulse or even ask questions. Almost without asking, he could tell what they were about to say, sometimes even more accurately than the patients themselves, as if he had experienced the same disease. His patients would sit down feeling anxious to narrate their situation, and Xiao Yi would preemptively and accurately describe their condition, leaving them wide-eyed and excitedly calling him a Divine Doctor. Any doubts they had about Xiao Yi would vanish instantly, deeply believing in his ability to cure them.
Knowing he was young and understanding that taking pulses was not really necessary, Xiao Yi still patiently went through the motions to maximize his patients’ trust because he knew well that practicing medicine was not just about medical skills. Sometimes, a patient’s trust and cooperation were also crucial.
Essentially, every patient Xiao Yi treated left excited and deeply convinced of his ability to cure them, cherishing the prescriptions he wrote as if they were treasures, particularly impressed by his expertise and the praises from both the nurse and Divine Doctor An Jinhua.
Seeing patient after patient like a flowing stream, Xiao Yi gradually found his rhythm in being a doctor and increasingly immersed himself in the role. So much so, that in the midst of treating patients, he even lost track of time until the nurse reminded him to ask if he wanted to finish his meal before continuing. It was only then that he suddenly realized it was already nearly one o’clock.
