Chapter 710 Euthanasia
"Yes, I want to report my son, Qin Weizhong."
"May I ask what Elder Qin wishes to report?"
"My son, Qin Weizhong, to bolster his own influence, removed Mr. Chen's title as the King of Medicine! He also ostracized Elder Zhang. I implore Governor Wang to dispense justice!" Elder Qin stated in a deep voice.
Governor Wang's gaze sharpened. For Elder Qin himself to report his own son, it seemed Qin Weizhong was indeed problematic.
He narrowed his eyes. "Rest assured, I will handle this matter."
"Thank you, Governor Wang! Governor Wang, Brother Chen Xuan is a great physician of the nation, the successor to our national heritage. You must protect him well!"
As he spoke with emotion, Elder Qin's legs gave way, and he knelt before Wang Zhonghua.
"Elder Qin, please rise!"
"Elder Qin, rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. However, before that, I have a significant task to attend to. Once it's completed, I will provide you with a satisfactory explanation."
Wang Zhonghua patted his chest confidently.
Only then did Elder Qin stand up.
Following this, Chen Xuan and Elder Zhang, riding in Wang Zhonghua's Audi A6, headed towards the temporary isolation point.
On the way, Chen Xuan frowned and asked worriedly, "Governor Wang, the patients are currently under the care of the Medical Association. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to go in our capacity?"
"What's inappropriate about it? Anyone who dares to speak ill of it, I'll have them kicked out immediately!" Wang Zhonghua declared angrily.
Chen Xuan could tell that Wang Zhonghua was genuinely enraged, and things were about to get interesting.
However, Elder Zhang seemed to be privy to some inside information. He said, "Brother Chen Xuan, you needn't worry. Traditional Chinese Medicine doesn't have many effective methods for infectious diseases, so the responsibility has been handed over to Western medicine."
Upon hearing this news, Chen Xuan felt a pang of disappointment. After all, with Governor Wang's backing, he could have certainly humbled Qin Weizhong and his ilk.
But he hadn't expected Qin Weizhong to be so cunning as to shift the blame to Western medicine.
Elder Zhang understood Chen Xuan's thoughts and whispered, "Brother Chen Xuan, Western medicine is currently dominant and has always looked down on our TCM. We can seize this opportunity to curb their arrogance."
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, a spark igniting within him.
At that moment, in the office of the temporarily erected isolation hospital, several Western medicine doctors were seated.
Traditional Chinese Medicine had not achieved significant breakthroughs in treating infectious diseases. After determining there were no effective methods, Qin Weizhong had delegated the task to Western medicine. Upon receiving it, they initially considered it a chance to shine and even insulted Qin Weizhong and the TCM practitioners in the Medical Association.
However, it turned out to be a hot potato.
After admitting patients, they tried numerous methods, but none could control the disease.
This was rather embarrassing!
Their heads ached terribly.
"Dr. Wang, the patient in Ward 1 is experiencing chills and fever, and appears to be near death. What should we do?"
"Dr. Sun, the patient in Ward 3 has a heart rate that has dropped below thirty. The situation is critical. Please think of a solution!"
...
Upon hearing these reports, the renowned doctors in the office were overwhelmed, sighing and in utter disarray.
Despite their esteemed positions, they were, after all, renowned physicians. Witnessing patients facing death with no recourse was akin to roasting them alive!
Faced with the nurses' urgent pleas, several Western medicine doctors exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, one of them stood up, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then let's proceed with euthanasia."
With that, he wrote a prescription and handed it to a nurse.
Euthanasia?
The nurse swallowed hard, disbelief etched on her face.
"Euthanasia?"
The nurse, slightly uncertain, couldn't help but ask again.
"Are your ears clogged with donkey hair? It's euthanasia. Hurry up and get it done!"
The doctor sighed, looking quite helpless.
The nurse nodded, then turned and fled, trembling.
Suddenly, a dismissive voice cut through the air.
"This is truly a disgrace, choosing euthanasia for patients!"
Before the words had even fully registered, Elder Zhang and Chen Xuan entered from outside.
"Who are you?"
Dr. Wang Cheng from the Second People's Hospital frowned and asked unpleasantly.
Everyone present was from Western medicine, and many were not well acquainted with Elder Zhang, failing to recognize him at first.
Elder Zhang stated righteously, "It doesn't matter who I am. You only need to know that you are watching patients die without doing anything, and even resorting to euthanasia. You are derelict in your duty!"
Everyone present exchanged awkward glances, so embarrassed they could have dug a cellar with their toes.
They couldn't treat the patients, yet they were prescribing euthanasia. If this were to spread, would Western medicine still have any face?
It was precisely for this reason that they felt so mortified.
At this moment, a doctor among the crowd scrutinized Elder Zhang, his brow furrowed. "Are you Elder Zhang from the Medical Association?"
Everyone's gaze snapped towards Elder Zhang, their eyes suddenly lighting up.
They all recognized Elder Zhang.
"Indeed!"
Elder Zhang admitted generously.
Dr. Wang sneered, "Heh, your Medical Association couldn't handle these infectious patients and passed this hot potato to us Western medicine practitioners. Now you come to mock us. Have you no shame?"
"Exactly! Your TCM is too dishonorable! We were kindly helping you out, and you come here to ridicule us!"
"You TCM practitioners always claim to be the national essence. Is shamelessness your TCM's national essence?"
Elder Zhang said sternly, "Firstly, I am no longer with the Medical Association. Secondly, we have come today to treat these infectious patients, and we require your cooperation."
Upon hearing that Elder Zhang was here to treat the infectious patients, the room erupted in an uproar!
This was practically walking into their territory to slap their faces!
"I don't care if you're with the Medical Association or not. We can handle these patients ourselves. We don't need you interfering here like a busybody!"
"Exactly, go cool off somewhere. When Western medicine handles things, we don't need TCM's intervention!"
The crowd was incensed, clearly showing the deep-seated animosity between TCM and Western medicine.
Even if it meant letting patients die by euthanasia, they were unwilling to accept help from TCM.
"Are you just going to watch the patients die and refuse our help?" Chen Xuan, who had followed Elder Zhang in, said coldly.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you interrupt when we are speaking?"
"We're not afraid to tell you, we call the shots here!"
"The patients are currently untreatable, and euthanasia is the best method!"
"Quacks! Playing with people's lives!" Chen Xuan exclaimed angrily.
Currently, these individuals were prioritizing their reputation over finding ways to treat the patients. Such people, chasing fame and reputation, were truly detestable!
"Who are you? Who do you think you are?"
"You son of a bitch, say that again if you dare?"
One by one, the Western medicine doctors stood up, staring at Chen Xuan in anger. Someone even called for security, seemingly intending to deal with Chen Xuan.
Dr. Wang from the Second People's Hospital waved his hand, stopping the security guards, and sneered at Elder Zhang, "Elder Zhang, take your subordinate and get out. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Xuan was so young, Dr. Wang from the Second People's Hospital assumed he was merely Elder Zhang's assistant.
