This is really strange, why did I fall into a coma for seven days and nights for no reason?
Even if it was due to overwork, with my physique after cultivating techniques, I should have fully recovered in a matter of hours, let alone that I've advanced to the Second Layer of the technique. In theory, I should recover much faster than when I was still at the First Layer.
Moreover, was there really no one who ca looking for while I was unconscious?
Or did soone co to find , but because I was in a coma, they couldn't wake ?
Luo Chao pondered it over and over, unable to figure it out, so he simply decided not to think about it. Anyway, his body felt normal now, and since he had been in a coma, there was no helping it. He could only treat it as an aftereffect of advancing to the Second Layer.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just then, Luo Chao's door was knocked on.
"Who is it?" Luo Chao asked while walking towards the door, intending to open it.
"Master Luo Chao, you're finally awake!" To his surprise, before Luo Chao reached the door, the person outside had already opened the door upon hearing Luo Chao's voice.
The visitor was none other than Jiang Lianqing, the director of the First People's Hospital of Huahai City, and also Luo Chao's disciple.
"Director Jiang, is there sothing you need from ?" Luo Chao scratched his head, asking with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, Master Luo Chao, I don't know what's going on with you these past few days. You've been sleeping in bed for seven days and nights straight. I've visited you several tis, and you're finally awake!" Jiang Lianqing's tone was clearly tinged with so helplessness.
"Uh… I'm really sorry about that, Director Jiang. I also don't know why I suddenly fell into a coma." Luo Chao felt a bit embarrassed, but he was also thinking, "Damn, this old man is at least an experienced doctor in traditional dicine. How co he wasn't worried at all when he saw I was in a coma? If he couldn't wake up, at least he could have given an IV or sothing."
"Ah? So even you, Master Luo Chao, don't know why you fell into a coma? I actually thought you were in the middle of so cultivation, so I didn't dare disturb you..." Jiang Lianqing was evidently surprised by Luo Chao's words.
Luo Chao finally understood why Jiang Lianqing hadn't co to wake him. At the sa ti, Luo Chao felt a bit embarrassed too. People thought he was practicing so divine skill and dared not disturb him, only to find out he accidentally fell into a coma. It's kind of comical when you think about it.
So, Luo Chao could only chuckle awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, I was indeed cultivating. I just got carried away and lost track of ti, haha."
Not waiting for Jiang Lianqing to press further, Luo Chao quickly changed the subject, "Enough about that. Director Jiang, you seed quite anxious to see . What's going on?"
This tactic was indeed effective. Hearing this, Jiang Lianqing imdiately abandoned his inquiries and responded, "Master Luo Chao, actually, a high-ranking official has been transferred to our hospital these past few days. He has nurous old ailnts, and combined with overwork, he is probably not long for this world."
"The state invited famous doctors from the country to treat him, but there's been no improvent. So, after hearing that I am a renowned traditional doctor in Huahai City, they intended to have treat him. But I'm only a bit better than average doctors. When compared to other well-known traditional doctors in the country, I'm just average, so how could I possibly cure him?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chao roughly understood what Jiang Lianqing ant. Most likely, Jiang Lianqing wanted Luo Chao to take action and treat this high-ranking official.
Luo Chao wasn't soone who liked to ddle, but neither was he one to watch soone die without helping. If forced to help, he could, but Luo Chao needed to know what he could gain from the patient.
However, if Luo Chao decided to treat soone voluntarily, regardless of them being a high-ranking official or a beggar on the street, Luo Chao treated them equally and didn't charge a penny.
But for a special request to treat an unfamiliar person, Luo Chao had to consider his own interests.
Thinking of this, Luo Chao couldn't help but ask Jiang Lianqing, "Director Jiang, who is this official?"
Jiang Lianqing sighed, "Ah, Master Luo Chao, I know what you're thinking. Logically, it's rightful to charge for the treatnt, but today's situation is quite different from what you think!"
"Oh? Different? How so?" Luo Chao asked curiously, seeing Jiang Lianqing sigh in such a rare manner.
"Here's the thing." Jiang Lianqing paused, then continued, "Didn't I just say that the high-ranking official tried all the renowned traditional doctors in the country, only to find them ineffective against his illness? Then he ca to our hospital for treatnt today, and coincidentally, a group of dical experts from the United States is here for a study tour. After hearing that a significant figure from Huaxia with nurous difficult diseases ca for treatnt, all of them actively offered to treat him."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chao nodded, "That's great! Since traditional dicine can't treat him, let Western dicine have a go. Although Western dicine might not necessarily surpass traditional dicine, those foreign doctors at least follow humanitarian principles, which should be encouraged!"
"Ha, humanitarianism? It would be nice if it were humanitarianism!" Jiang Lianqing shook his head. "Those Arican experts not only demand a lot of money from that important figure, but they also arrogantly claim that traditional dicine is nothing more than witchcraft akin to primitive dicine, completely fraudulent. Only their modern Western dicine is the most scientific dical approach!"
"Hm? Did they really say that?" Hearing this, Luo Chao raised an eyebrow. In fact, Luo Chao made significant achievents in both traditional and Western dicine. To him, Western and traditional dicine should be viewed equally, as both dical systems have their own rits, without one being superior to the other.
It's just so who are slightly familiar with traditional or Western dicine, or so half-baked quacks, that might blindly idolize a particular system of dical treatnt, thus deliberately belittling the opposing dical system.
This kind of behavior, in the eyes of a true dical master like Luo Chao, is rather childish and laughable.
Therefore, Luo Chao was genuinely surprised to hear from Jiang Lianqing that these Arican dical experts actually said such things.
In theory, experts in Western dicine should already understand that dicine across the world shares a common ground, so why would they still openly express opinions that belittle traditional dicine?
