When Lu Weiguo heard that Ling Tian was from the lineage of the Medical Saint, he was so excited he almost jumped up. He had heard this name more than once in the past few days!
To treat Grandpa Lu, experts from the entire 704 Hospital, both Chinese and Western medicine practitioners with any skill, had all participated in the consultation for Grandpa Lu.
Lu Weiguo knew very well that these Chinese medicine grandmasters from the 704 Hospital were the top Chinese medicine practitioners in the country. However, after diagnosing the elder, their conclusions were consistent: the lamp was dry and the fire was gone, the illness was terminal.
The Western medicine experts also gave their assessment, stating that the elder’s current condition would likely last for another 20 days at most.
If there were any relapses or sudden changes in his condition, these 20 days were a conservative estimate.
The Lu family expressed their gratitude to everyone who had treated the elder. In their discussions with these top doctors, several old Chinese medicine practitioners mentioned the Medical Saint.
They felt that although they themselves were unable to save the elder, if someone from the Medical Saint lineage could be found, there might still be a sliver of hope.
Thus, the Lu family immediately sent people to search for the whereabouts of those from the Medical Saint lineage. However, unfortunately, Ling Tian’s third master was too low-key, and even the Lu family could not ultimately find their whereabouts.
But now, the successor of the Medical Saint lineage had appeared before him. How could he not be overjoyed?
“That’s great, Doctor Ling Tian, please come with me and take a look at my grandfather quickly. No matter what, our Lu family owes you a favor!” Lu Weiguo said with great excitement.
Just then, Deputy Group Leader Su Deshang stepped forward and pulled Lu Weiguo aside.
“Mr. Lu, there is something I don’t know if I should say.”
Lu Weiguo actually did not like people like Su Deshang very much. This guy was too fond of scheming and calculating, while those from the military, like them, were generally straightforward. He just felt that Su Deshang was not aligned with him.
“Mr. Lu, this Doctor Ling Tian is really too young. There might be geniuses in other fields, but in the medical profession, teenage geniuses are almost unheard of.
After all, clinical experience requires time and a large amount of treatment to accumulate…
Moreover, although the lineage of divine doctors is spoken of in mystical terms, few people have actually witnessed their medical skills. My suggestion is still not to take the risk…”
On one hand, Su Deshang still did not believe in Ling Tian’s medical skills. At their level, stability was paramount.
If the elder’s condition worsened after Ling Tian treated him, he, as the supervisor, would not be able to escape responsibility.
Even if Ling Tian cured the elder, he belonged to Sword Bureau’s Sword Three Group. If their group’s task was snatched by Group Three, how would their group save face?
Su Deshang’s calculations were very shrewd. If he forcibly refused to let Ling Tian treat Grandpa Lu, he would inevitably offend the Xuanyuan family severely.
However, if the patient’s family proposed to refuse Ling Tian’s treatment, then he would be in the clear. No matter how overbearing Xuanyuan Jie was, could he interfere with the decisions of the patient’s family?
Unexpectedly, Lu Weiguo said with a wry smile, “Group Leader Su, let me ask you, is Doctor Ling Tian a member of the Sword Bureau, and does he have the qualifications to treat my grandfather?”
“Uh, Doctor Ling Tian is indeed a member of the Sword Bureau, and to be precise, he has the qualification to treat the elder, but…”
“Group Leader Su, I know you want to say that Doctor Ling Tian is very young, but I don’t think that’s a problem!
My grandfather is in this condition, and the family members have some psychological preparation. Moreover, my grandfather also said when he woke up yesterday that he had lived a full life.
It’s just that we, as a family, still have a sliver of hope. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, we must try!”
Deputy Group Leader Su Deshang understood the meaning behind Lu Weiguo’s words. This was a case of trying anything, even a desperate measure. In this situation, if he continued to obstruct, he would be seen as a villain.
“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements now…”
A short while later, Ling Tian changed into a white coat and entered the office next to the ICU ward.
At this moment, a staff member handed him a tablet computer.
“Doctor Ling Tian, here is the elder’s medical record, including his recent physical examination results and the treatments he has received in the past few months…”
Ling Tian smiled and thanked him, then set the tablet computer aside without even looking at it.
This action surprised everyone in the room, especially the doctors. They felt that Ling Tian’s behavior was very frivolous.
After all, for a doctor, medical records are extremely important. They can help doctors understand the progression of a patient’s illness and make correct diagnoses.
The more skilled the doctor, the more they value medical records and physical examination data. They can obtain very important information from this data.
But this young man in front of them, without even looking at these records, not even bothering to pretend, was simply unbelievable.
Su Deshang could no longer tolerate it. He walked over, his face grim.
“Ling Tian, you may not have treated patients of Grandpa Lu’s caliber before! Some rules must be followed!
You must study the medical records thoroughly, memorize every data point, and then examine the elder. You cannot be the slightest bit careless!
We want stability and a high success rate, not speed. This is not seeing patients in an outpatient clinic…”
“Director Su, you don’t need to worry about me. I understand the rules, and I can read data, but not now!
I still need to examine Grandpa Lu first, using my own methods. After the examination, I will cross-reference it with this data!
You should know that even the data from medical instruments is not 100% accurate. I don’t want to be misled by some data!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned. They had never heard of this theory before. Even in Chinese medicine, current treatments place great importance on medical examination data.
After all, “looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse” are quite mystical. To truly master them requires at least 30 years of clinical experience.
But this young man in front of them, who knew if he was even 30 years old…
“Fine, since you say so, then you try. But I must state the consequences upfront. You must consider the consequences!
Some things, you may truly not be able to bear!”
Ling Tian changed into a sterile protective suit and washed his hands repeatedly before entering the ICU ward.
He stood by the bed, extended his hand, and placed it on the elder’s pulse.
Soon, Ling Tian detected the elder’s faint pulse.
