Chapter 711 Two Days for Recovery
"You're welcome?" Old Zhang smiled teasingly.
Normally, facing so many Western doctors would make Old Zhang frown, but today he was armed with an imperial sword!
If anyone dared to obstruct him?
Kill!
"Yes, you're welcome!"
Chen Xuan, too lazy to quibble, took out a document and slammed it onto the table, saying, "I have an order from Governor Wang here, stating that all of you must cooperate with us. Furthermore, from now on, you will all follow our deployment."
"What?"
"You want us Western doctors to listen to you Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners? Are you kidding me? Based on what?"
The group was furious and rushed forward. However, upon seeing Governor Wang's order, their spirits deflated one by one. They looked at Chen Xuan and Old Zhang with strange expressions.
Seeing their reactions, Old Zhang smiled smugly.
Governor Wang, being of high status and power, naturally did not appear in public easily. Old Zhang knew that the Western doctors would not cooperate willingly, so he obtained a document from Governor Wang. This way, these Western doctors would not dare to make any complaints.
"Could it be fake?"
Someone voiced doubt, but it was quickly denied.
"It doesn't look fake. Doesn't it have Governor Wang's seal, and his personal signature? The handwriting is Governor Wang's."
"Ah? You want us Western doctors to obey Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners? If this gets out, how will we survive?"
"Why don't you go and talk to Governor Wang?"
These Western doctors were, in essence, intellectuals skilled in medicine, and they were also part of the system. They feared the powerful officials the most.
Finally, Dr. Wang from the Second Hospital, who had been shouting threats earlier, put on a smiling face, bowed, and said, "I apologize for any offense caused earlier. You two are acting under Governor Wang's orders. I offer my apologies here to you both."
With that, Dr. Wang actually bowed to Chen Xuan and Old Zhang, appearing quite sincere.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person. Moreover, Chen Xuan and Old Zhang were primarily there to treat the patients. Secondly, by curing these patients, they could gain Governor Wang's trust and clear Chen Xuan's name.
Chen Xuan waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and take us to see the patients."
"You two go ahead. I'll give some instructions to everyone here, and then I'll take you over," Dr. Wang said with a smile.
Chen Xuan and Old Zhang turned and left the office.
As soon as they left the office, a crowd surged forward, surrounding Dr. Wang.
"Dr. Wang, are you really going to cooperate with them?"
"I say, we shouldn't cooperate with them. Let them run around like headless chickens! Let's see how they treat!"
"Yeah, this way, we Western doctors won't lose face."
Dr. Wang shook his head. "How can we do that? Are we going to disobey the Governor's orders? That's not feasible!"
"Then what should we do?"
Dr. Wang sneered, "What are you afraid of? This contagious disease is so severe that the entire medical association has no solution. Do you think Old Zhang will definitely have a way?"
"That's right!"
"Makes sense, they might not be able to cure it!"
"If they can't cure it, the Governor will still blame them, and it will also help us share some of the higher-ups' anger."
"Alright, everyone hasn't slept for a day and a night. Get some rest. I'll go and accompany the two of them."
After speaking, Dr. Wang also turned and left the office.
Just as Chen Xuan and Old Zhang were getting impatient, Dr. Wang walked over. "I apologize for keeping you two waiting!"
"Wait a little longer, and I suspect Governor Wang will be here to invite you," Chen Xuan said dismissively, clearly displeased.
Time was of the essence. Dr. Wang's casual attitude annoyed him greatly.
"Kid, you..."
Dr. Wang's expression turned cold. You're just a subordinate of Old Zhang, what right do you have to criticize me?
"Old Zhang, you should manage your people properly."
After complaining about Chen Xuan, Dr. Wang looked at him triumphantly.
Unexpectedly, Old Zhang said, "I think Mr. Chen is quite right."
Dr. Wang: "......"
He was too protective!
Dr. Wang said with a dark expression, "I'll take you to see the severely ill patients first!"
With that, Dr. Wang took a step forward, leading the way.
Chen Xuan and Old Zhang walked towards the temporarily set up hospital wards. At the entrance, several people put on brand-new protective suits before entering.
The air inside was filled with the smell of disinfectant. They could also see medical staff in protective suits carrying sprayers and disinfecting the area. According to the regulations here, disinfection sprays were carried out every hour.
The sprayers filled with disinfectant weighed tens of kilograms. One person had to spray at least ten barrels of disinfectant a day. By the end of the day, the medical staff's arms would be unable to lift, indicating extreme hardship.
However, they dared not rest, as any rest could potentially lead to cross-infection.
The severely ill patients were all on the first floor. As soon as they entered, they could hear the painful groans from the wards. Looking through the windows, they saw pale patients in the rooms, their eyes filled with despair, as if they were waiting to die, which was heartbreaking.
Chen Xuan and the others arrived at the first room with a severely ill patient.
Here lay a little girl, about five or six years old. She was curled up on the bed, her small face pale, her teeth chattering from the cold.
Her name was Wu Jiaqi, nicknamed Little Little. Her parents were factory workers who were severely affected in an explosion and were currently in the intensive care unit. Little Little was infected because her aunt next door brought her food. Her aunt was also a factory worker.
Now, with both her parents in the hospital, she was alone in the isolation ward.
"Doctor uncle, when will I get better? I miss my mom and dad?"
Seeing the doctors, the five or six-year-old girl said.
Everyone was deeply moved and felt immense pity, even Dr. Wang clenched his fists tightly.
Although he was concerned with appearances, he was also a doctor.
Faced with the little girl's question, Dr. Li's old face turned red, but he didn't know what to say. He was speechless and finally sighed deeply, his eyes filled with self-reproach.
"Uncle, when can I go see Mom and Dad?" Little Little looked at Dr. Wang and asked again.
Dr. Wang lowered his head, his face filled with shame.
At this moment, a voice rang out, "The earliest is tomorrow, the latest is the day after tomorrow. Little Little, can you wait here obediently for two days?"
Dr. Wang looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief.
What nonsense was this guy spouting?
This was a severely ill patient, how could she be discharged in two days?
Well, perhaps he was just trying to fool a child.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing that she only needed to wait two more days, Little Little squinted her eyes, and her face lit up with joy.
Afterward, they left the ward and went to other rooms. To the patients' inquiries, Chen Xuan promised them a two-day recovery period.
Dr. Wang became restless. Wasn't this guy lying?
What if he couldn't cure them? With such advanced information technology, if this information spread, it would be Western medicine that would be disgraced!
When they reached the corridor, Dr. Wang stopped Chen Xuan and questioned him, "Kid, that's enough! Don't smear our Western medicine here! If you dare to talk nonsense again, even with Governor Wang's order, I'll teach you a lesson!"
"I said two days, and it will be two days!" Chen Xuan replied.
Dr. Wang was furious. "Let me tell you, the burden is entirely on Western medicine now. Stop your nonsense!"
