249: Chapter 247: The Number One Needle of the First Hospital 249: Chapter 247: The Number One Needle of the First Hospital The middle-aged man’s gaze shifted, and he looked towards the door.
His eyes suddenly brightened and a hint of excitement showed on his face as he hurriedly went to greet the newcomer, “Doctor Fu, you’ve finally arrived, please quickly check on my father.”
Tangyu also looked over to see a middle-aged male doctor in his early forties stepping in.
He wore a pair of glasses, and his hair was somewhat graying.
Judging by his appearance, he seemed like a genuinely competent doctor.
He, too, quickly approached the sickbed and began examining the elderly patient.
His eyebrows soon furrowed deeply, and with a serious and solemn expression, he said, “The situation isn’t good; we need to get to the emergency room immediately.
I’ll go and arrange it right now.
However, don’t worry too much; it shouldn’t be a major problem.”
“If you don’t want him to die, don’t move, let me handle this,” Tangyu said.
If this matter hadn’t involved Yan Yan, he wouldn’t care less about the old man’s fate.
In this world, so many people die every day; it’s the law of natural existence.
Everyone has their day to die.
If everyone were to sympathize, then no one would get anything done daily.
Tangyu had long since come to terms with life and death in such a way that he could always stick to his principles.
Doctor Fu was about to make arrangements when he heard Tangyu’s statement and immediately stopped in his tracks, looking at Tangyu with a stern and severe face, “Who are you?
How did you get into the ward?” He had thought Tangyu was a relative of the patient.
The middle-aged man quickly said, “Doctor Fu, don’t mind him; he’s just a lunatic who doesn’t even know where he came from, and he even claims to be a doctor.
Please, Doctor Fu, go ahead and make the arrangements.” After saying this, the middle-aged man glared at Tangyu fiercely and warned, “Kid, you’d better get out of here, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
Tangyu knew that persuading these two would be futile, even if he talked himself hoarse, and any further delay might render him powerless to help.
Out of desperation, Tangyu could not care less about decorum and grabbed the middle-aged man, yanking him strongly backwards, causing the man to stumble and crash outwards.
With the man out of the way, Tangyu swiftly struck the old man’s forehead with his palm, channeling a stream of Pure Yang Qi into him while his fingers formed a gesture, rapidly tapping on the old man’s chest.
Doctor Fu, who had intended to leave, stopped when he saw Tangyu lay hands on the patient.
His eyebrows furrowed, his eyes showing a mix of skepticism and belief as he watched Tangyu.
The young man certainly didn’t seem like a madman and appeared quite earnest.
Recognizing the technique, even though he did not practice traditional Chinese medicine, he knew about the body’s various acupoints.
He was surprised to find that each of Tangyu’s precise strikes was hitting directly on the old man’s acupoints, which greatly astonished him.
It wasn’t until the middle-aged man hit the wall that he was able to stabilize himself.
Already anxious and angry, being manhandled by Tangyu only fueled his rage.
He cursed loudly and charged at Tangyu.
However, before he could reach Tangyu, he was grabbed from behind by a hand.
When he turned to throw a punch, Doctor Fu hastily stopped him.
The person who had grabbed the middle-aged man was a young-looking individual, around 26 or 27, who was neatly and appropriately dressed, exuding a refined scholarly air, as if a young prince.
His white coat and the badge on his chest clearly identified him as a doctor.
This man was very handsome, possessing a charm that could make many men envious.
He was also quite tall, and most importantly, he exuded a fascinating charisma, like a dashing young nobleman.
Just by this demeanor, one could tell that he must have been nurtured by high society and came from a prominent family.
At that moment, his eyes were fixed on Tangyu, who was treating the elderly patient by the bed, his gaze flashing with a subtlety that went unnoticed by others.
“Young Master Rao,” Doctor Fu said with a respectful tone.
Doctor Fu was an experienced physician, and for him to show such a respectful demeanor to a young man like this, it was clear that this Mr.
Rao’s background was not simple at all.
The middle-aged man was no fool and immediately realized that the person before him was a figure of great importance.
‘Dr.
Rao,’ why does that name sound so familiar?
He racked his brain, and suddenly his eyes widened, looking at Mr.
Rao with a face full of shock, “You, you are the one people call the ‘First Needle of Donglin First Hospital’, Dr.
Rao?”
Mr.
Rao gave him a small smile, signaling him to keep silent, and the middle-aged man immediately closed his mouth.
However, his heart was surging with emotion.
In the entire medical field of Donglin City, there is probably no one who does not know about Rao Yuanzhi, the ‘First Needle of Donglin First Hospital’.
Anyone who has ever been to Donglin First Hospital for treatment has likely heard of Dr.
Rao, the ‘First Needle’.
Rumor has it that as long as a patient taken under his care still has a breath left in them, he can surely save them.
Rao Yuanzhi has become somewhat of a legend at Donglin First Hospital; at least that’s how the outside world tells it, praising him as if he were the reincarnation of the great physician Hua Tuo.
Countless people seek Dr.
Rao’s medical attention every day, and to receive his treatment is always considered a stroke of great fortune.
At this moment, the man naturally felt excited, having never thought that he would encounter Dr.
Rao here.
After a full five minutes, Tangyu finally ceased his treatment.
The condition of the elderly man had completely improved; his breathing had become even, his heartbeat had returned to normal, and his complexion gained a bit of ruddiness.
The old man’s eyelids fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes, looking at Tangyu, “Doctor, thank you, I thought I was going to die.
I feel much better now, much more comfortable.”
“This—” Doctor Fu’s eyes twitched sharply, his face showing a hint of astonishment.
He hadn’t expected that this young man would actually manage to cure the critically ill old man, and moreover, the man’s condition had improved significantly from before.
It was just a mere five minutes, and without using any sort of equipment; such a method was truly magical, at least in Doctor Fu’s eyes, and it was something he found hard to comprehend.
Doctor Fu couldn’t help but glance at Rao Yuanzhi beside him; perhaps only he had such a miraculous ability.
A look of surprise also appeared on Rao Yuanzhi’s face.
Seeing that the old man was fine, the middle-aged man was immediately overcome with excitement and rushed to the bedside, “Dad, you’re really okay now?”
The old man nodded, “I’m fine now, I feel much better.”
“That’s great, that’s great,” the middle-aged man said excitedly, then immediately turned to Tangyu, “Doctor, I apologize for my rashness earlier, I offended you, and I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Tangyu spoke indifferently, “You were acting out of filial piety; I won’t hold it against you.
However, in the future, do not cause such a commotion in front of the patients, as it can severely affect them.
Alright, the old man needs rest now, let’s all step out.”
“Yes, yes, yes, the doctor is right.
I’ll be careful next time.
Let’s all go out,” said the middle-aged man immediately.
Rao Yuanzhi smiled at Tangyu.
He was the first to walk out, followed closely by Doctor Fu.
The middle-aged man didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly walked out.
Tangyu also noticed Rao Yuanzhi, finding his first impression of the man to be that he wasn’t simple—he was someone of significance.
Yan Yan was still somewhat dazed, as everything had changed too quickly, really testing the capacity of her heart.
Just a moment ago, she thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly a “Prince” had emerged to rescue her.
Initially, she had doubts about Tangyu’s medical skills, but now she completely believed in him, as Xiaoqing had said, Tangyu was very skilled indeed.
In just a few touches, he had cured the critically ill elder, and the patient’s condition was even better than before.
It had to be said, it was quite eye-catching and miraculous.
No wonder he said repairing capillaries was an easy task.
This incident also caused her views on traditional Chinese medicine to markedly change.
“Let’s go out.
Don’t worry, everything is fine now,” Tangyu said.
“Okay,” Yan Yan nodded, his words indeed quite comforting.
They were so heartwarming they inexplicable tugged at her heartstrings.
She was filled with gratitude towards Tangyu.
If it wasn’t for Tangyu’s intervention today, what would have happened to her was still an unknown.
Worse still, if a real problem had arisen, her whole life could have been ruined.
The mere thought made her shudder.
Now, at least, the clouds had dispersed, and no storm was on the horizon.
Upon leaving the ward, Tangyu realized that both Doctor Rao and Doctor Fu had not yet left.
“I’m sorry, my negligence just now was too great, I’m truly sorry,” Yan Yan said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Yan Yan, his face still showing a few traces of displeasure.
“She didn’t do it on purpose.
She was just too busy and made a mistake.
Thankfully, the elder is fine.
I hope you won’t hold it too much against her,” Tangyu also spoke on her behalf, as if the middle-aged man were to make a real issue out of the mistake, it was clear that Yan Yan would likely be punished by the hospital.
Regardless of the reason, the consequences of a mistake had to be accounted for.
The middle-aged man did want to give face to Tangyu, but he was also indecisive, as the incident nearly led to his father’s mishap.
“For Yan Yan’s oversight, our hospital must also take responsibility.
On behalf of the hospital, I apologize.
All the medical fees for the elder will be borne by our hospital.
I assure you that such an incident will not occur again,” said Rao Yuanzhi.
Rao Yuanzhi’s words carried weight, and after the middle-aged man gave Yan Yan another look, he said, “Alright then, since both of you have said as much, it would be unkind of me to dwell on it.
The medical fees are a small matter, the main thing is my father’s safety.
Now that he is alright, let’s let bygones be bygones.
However, young lady, you must not be so careless in the future.”
Yan Yan immediately nodded and said, “Yes, I definitely won’t in the future.
I’m sorry once again.”
Having finished speaking, Yan Yan looked gratefully at Tangyu and Rao Yuanzhi, sighing with relief inwardly.
Otherwise, she didn’t know what punishment she would have faced, perhaps even dismissal from the hospital was a possibility.
Yan Yan really didn’t want to lose such a good job.
“Thank you, Doctor Rao,” Yan Yan said.
“It’s nothing.
Just be more diligent in your work from now on.
No matter how busy you are, you can’t forget about important patients,” Rao Yuanzhi said with a warm smile.
“Yes, I understand.
I definitely won’t make the same mistake next time,” Yan Yan said.
Rao Yuanzhi turned to Tangyu and said, “Your expertise in the art of Chinese medicine is truly exceptional.
May I ask where you practice?”
“I’m just a wandering individual, nothing worth mentioning,” Tangyu replied.
Seeing Tangyu’s reluctance to say more, Rao Yuanzhi didn’t probe further, but instead smiled and said, “My name is Rao Yuanzhi.
May I have the honor of getting to know you better?”
