Seeing that Old Zhang ignored him and treated Chen Xiao like a savior, Wang Chunsheng was immediately displeased. "Old Zhang, what do you mean by this? Didn't you ask me to see an emergency patient?"
"Looking for you?"
The attending physician was slightly stunned, then smiled and explained, "Old Wang, you might be mistaken. I was mainly looking for Dr. Chen Xiao. If I couldn't find Dr. Chen, I would look for the three of you..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three senior doctors from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department turned extremely unpleasant.
Li Dafu scoffed disdainfully, "Old Zhang, you can't be joking, right? Him? He hasn't even grown all his hair, what could he possibly know about Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
Dr. Zhang immediately looked flustered and displeased, glaring at Li Dafu. "Old Li, what kind of talk is that? How dare you disrespect Dr. Chen. You probably haven't been to the hospital in a long time and have no idea how capable Dr. Chen is!"
At this moment, the director of the Health Bureau also chimed in. "Then tell me, how capable can he be at such a young age? Old Zhang, aren't you afraid of taking responsibility, so you're just finding a newcomer to take the blame?"
The director's face was ashen, clearly thinking that Dr. Zhang was just finding a newcomer to fool him.
The key was that he could fool people, but he couldn't fool the Mayor!
Dr. Zhang said seriously and earnestly, "Director Lin, I would never joke about a patient's life. Although Dr. Chen is young, his deeds, or rather his legends, have already spread throughout Jiangcheng, no, the entire Jiangbei medical community. The young man who was recognized by Elder Sun Buzhou at the provincial medical exchange conference was Dr. Chen!"
"What, he's that Dr. Chen?"
The director's face showed surprise, and then he looked at Chen Xiao with great joy. "Dr. Chen, we're counting on you for this. The identity of the injured person inside..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiao waved his hand. "You don't need to introduce me to that. In my eyes, all patients are the same. Stop the nonsense and let me see the patient quickly!"
What was the director of the Health Bureau to him? Chen Xiao didn't give him any face at all!
As for the three senior doctors from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, they looked at each other... their eyes revealed shock!
This new director was actually recognized by Elder Sun? Was it true or false?
They were all engrossed in their own businesses, so much so that they were oblivious to the outside world and rarely came to the hospital. Therefore, they had no idea how popular Chen Xiao had become recently.
Just then, Chen Xiao, who was about to enter the emergency room, glanced sideways at the three of them.
"You three, do you want to come along and take a look?"
The three exchanged glances. Li Dafu grunted, "Fine, we'll go. I want to see if you have real skills or if you're just all talk!"
They changed into sterile gowns and gloves, put on masks, and entered the emergency room.
Upon entering, they saw that the patient's condition was indeed critical.
A boy of fifteen or sixteen lay on the hospital bed in pain, with a skewer from a barbecue stuck in his head.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao gasped.
This kid was truly lucky. The skewer had entered his head, avoiding all vital areas. Otherwise, he would have died long ago!
Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask, "How did this child end up like this?"
Dr. Zhang said cautiously, "I heard that they were eating and drinking outside of school, and two groups of people started fighting, and then..."
Chen Xiao was speechless. These kids nowadays were too reckless. They were trying to kill someone!
Wang Chunsheng observed the patient's condition and frowned. "Old Zhang, such a severe injury requires immediate surgery. What use are we here for?"
The skewer had entered through the temple. Unless they performed craniotomy to remove it, pulling it out forcefully could damage blood vessels and cause a cerebral hemorrhage.
Old Zhang gave a wry smile. "If surgery were possible, I wouldn't have come to find you. The skewer is only one millimeter away from the brain. During craniotomy, it might shift and pierce the brain."
"Furthermore, the conditions for surgery are not met. The injury is in the brain. If anesthesia is used, there might be sequelae."
Hearing Dr. Zhang's explanation, the three senior doctors were at a loss. This was simply a hot potato.
"Alas, forget it, Old Zhang. Give up. If you can't do it, we can't either... Even if he's the son of the Heavenly Emperor, if he can't be cured, he can't be cured!"
Hou Aiguo patted Dr. Zhang's shoulder and sighed.
Dr. Zhang said, "I know this patient is difficult, which is why I invited Dr. Chen to come personally!"
Hou Aiguo snorted disdainfully, "What's the use of inviting him? No matter how good his medical skills are, he's just a doctor, not an immortal! With the patient's current condition, unless an immortal descends, otherwise... Hey? What are you doing, Chen?"
As Hou Aiguo was speaking, Chen Xiao had already taken out his silver needles, and three silver needles were quickly inserted near the boy's temple.
Then, he flicked his finger.
"Buzz—"
The three silver needles vibrated rapidly, and a stream of qi flowed between them.
"Damn it, what are you doing, kid?"
Li Dafu shouted.
Chen Xiao glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "I am sealing the blood vessels near the wound. This way, when I remove the skewer, I can avoid cerebral hemorrhage."
"Are you kidding me? Avoiding cerebral hemorrhage with acupuncture? You're just messing around!"
Li Dafu glared, his beard bristling. "So you're just famous for nothing. What divine doctor? I think you're just a quack who disregards human life!"
"Old Zhang, why don't you stop him quickly?"
Hou Aiguo urged, "If something happens, none of us will be able to escape responsibility!"
Wang Chunsheng even took out his phone, intending to record the scene. "Everyone saw it. All of this was done by that kid Chen Xiao. If anything happens to the injured person, it will be his responsibility, and it will have nothing to do with us!"
"All of you, shut up!"
Dr. Zhang roared, "If you three can't help, then get out of the way and don't disturb Dr. Chen saving the patient!"
Dr. Zhang was so angry that he swore. He had long been impatient with the three of them.
These people, who usually didn't even show up for their shifts, dared to boss around Dr. Chen at such a critical moment. They were truly ungrateful!
As for Chen Xiao, he completely ignored their chattering.
He was holding the skewer in his left hand, his expression extremely serious.
Seeing this, everyone understood that the most crucial moment was about to arrive...
