Xu Wangxian showed regret, "Why would the boss recomnd soone like this?"
"Who knows, so people really believe in this stuff. Maybe so things have co true for him. There’s a saying for this—a survivor’s bias. To him, this person is a prophet."
The deputy director was quite talkative, Chen Xuan thought to himself. "So those two disciples are supervisors?"
"Yes."
"But they can’t cure the illness, how do they know if soone else’s treatnt plan will work?"
"Young man, do you think treating illnesses is just about luck? Apart from a very few, everyone gathered here are professionals. Whether the determined cause and the proposed plan can be justified, it’s evident after one debate." Wang Haitao laughed, "You say you’re skilled in pharmacology and toxicology, so be careful when briefing that short disciple later. I’ve heard he’s an expert in poison from Beitian Academy, making up stories in front of him likely won’t fly."
"Could it be that he is Venus You Chi, who solved the poisoning case of the ambassador on Berkline Street?" Xu Wangxian interjected.
"That’s right, and that’s just his level three years ago."
"Impressive... truly a prodigy!"
I never said I was a herbal expert. Chen Xuan’s gaze shifted away from the two eagerly chatting people, scanning across the entire hall—everyone seed unfazed by the previous situation, either gathered for chat or silently playing on their phones. Their appearances and mannerisms were varied, their accents were from all over, if he hadn’t known that all these people were healers, he might have thought this was a kind of class reunion.
How to say... this was a little different from the "treating a wealthy family’s daughter" scenario he’d imagined.
Considering Xu Wangxian had to apply before bringing him here, a scene like this wasn’t unique to today.
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but ask, "Is it like this every day here?"
"I think it’s about the sa." Wang Haitao replied, "There are countless people wanting to catch the Beitian Academy’s ship, and whether or not they’re truly skilled can’t be seen from a resu, so they can only try face-to-face. Five people go in for consultation each ti, with thirty minutes per session, CT, MRI, blood tests, and all sorts of examination reports are available, and modern dical solutions are vetted by Yue Beifeng. If traditional dicine is needed, it has to pass You Chi’s gate first... In short, there still hasn’t been a lucky one who succeeded in treatnt."
No wonder the agitated man earlier asked five people to step forward, whether to go, and when to go, seed to be up to everyone to decide.
Those going later can gain intelligence, while those going earlier can take the initiative, making it quite a humane chanism.
"May I ask who your referrer is?" Xu Wangxian inquired curiously.
"No problem, the director of our hospital." Wang Haitao said openly, "But he himself didn’t co to Jiang City."
"Could he think... this illness is related to brain lesions?"
"If so, it would be simple." He lowered his voice and shook his head, "The hospital has already conducted an expert consultation for the Gu family’s daughter, and the conclusion is that the cause is unknown. I can’t cure her, nor do I have the ability to diagnose her."
Chen Xuan was puzzled, "Then why did the director send you here?"
"Hey... It’s about social connections, you see." Wang Haitao patted his shoulder thoughtfully, "It’s okay if you don’t understand."
Instantly, Chen Xuan got it. The director of Capital City’s Second Hospital was thinking much like himself, regardless of whether they could treat it or not, when summoned, you show up for appearances, earning no rit but enduring labor. Later, when asking for more Blood Orange quotas, it becos easier.
Just at that mont, the five who had gone in earlier walked out together, their troubled expressions revealing yet another fruitless attempt.
Everyone imdiately gathered around, eager to probe their adopted solutions.
This was indirectly another consultation, pooling thoughts wasn’t bad for analyzing the illness, so the two disciples didn’t obstruct, quietly waiting aside instead.
Chen Xuan shifted steps, not towards the crowd but towards the Beitian Academy disciples.
"Little friend... What are you doing?" Xu Wangxian was sowhat surprised and followed.
"No more waiting, I’m going to see the patient."
"You won’t inquire about the symptoms first?" Wang Haitao was also intrigued.
"No need." Chen Xuan said calmly. Because asking would be pointless; he neither knew modern dicine nor traditional materials, nor did he follow common practices. His thoughts were simple, take a look at the patient and then leave, if the patient’s symptoms were good to describe and matched so Immortal Pill in Pill dicine Study, he’d leave a ssage, to concoct the pill later for Liu Shuyue.
If they didn’t align... he could only bow politely and say "sorry, can’t cure that."
Chen Xuan approached the handso, relaxed-expressioned man, "May I go in?"
It’s not that he favored this individual among the two disciples, but rather the other one was just too tall, he’d have to crane his neck to talk, feeling strained.
You Chi was slightly surprised, glanced at him, then took out a booklet to browse, "Mr. Chen, right? Your referrer is... Mr. Xu from Hundred Herbs Hall."
"That’s , that’s ." Xu Wangxian hurriedly responded.
"Okay, referrer can’t enter, Mr. Chen, wait here for a while, once we gather five people, we’ll go in together." You Chi confird before speaking.
"Can’t one person go in first?" Chen Xuan glanced back at the group engrossed in discussion, "I think they’ll be conversing for quite a while."
"We don’t evenly divide six minutes for each person." Yue Beifeng showed a bit of displeasure, "Five people, thirty minutes, the clever ones can use all of it, and even the dull ones can observe more, you alone going in, we can’t possibly accompany you for thirty minutes alone—"
"No need," Chen Xuan interrupted, "I’ll only take two minutes."
This statent took the four listeners by surprise.
"Little friend, this isn’t the ti for jokes..." Xu Wangxian was sowhat anxious.
"It’s fine, I won’t falsely divine or burn talisman water. At most, I’ll look at the patient and ask about her situation, if there’s no solution, I’ll leave instantly, not wasting your ti."
The two disciples couldn’t help but exchange glances.
"Wait!" Wang Haitao added, "I’ll go in with him, I won’t take ti, giving him the entire six minutes, two people for six minutes doesn’t delay you too much, does it?"
Chen Xuan looked at him with surprise, not expecting him to do so.
"Mr. Huang, Deputy Director of the Capital City’s Second Hospital." You Chi browsed the na list, "Okay, then the two of you please follow ."
"Hey, look! How co they just went in?"
"Looks like only two of them are going?"
"They’re probably insiders..."
The murmurs from the crowd faintly transmitted behind them.
Leaving behind an anxious Xu Wangxian, Chen Xuan followed the two disciples past the hall into the corridor. After crossing a beautifully landscaped courtyard bridge, they entered another building.
The decoration and furnishings here were entirely different from Cyan Grass Hall, the ground was laid with clean matte tiles, the walls painted white, and the partition doors were all electronic scanning automatic ones. Through several doors, the four finally arrived in the ward, this was clearly treatnt fit for a VIP, the large room had only one hospital bed, surrounded by various life monitoring equipnt, calling it a standalone ICU wouldn’t be inappropriate.
However, compared to the cold ICU ward, it was far more cozy, not only with soft bedding on the spacious bed but several stuffed toys placed around. Even the cold machines were decorated with colorful hues, resembling children’s toys.
Besides the patient, there were five or six doctors and nurses in the room, lined up by the door, always ready for inquiries from the visiting doctors.
"Patient details are all on the table, you can look, not take away. You can also inquire the attending doctor, they’ll tell you whatever they know." Yue Beifeng briefly explained, "If wanting to converse with the patient, report to first, visitors must be accompanied by Beitian Academy disciples for close contact with the patient. Now, you may begin."
