Soon, a black car slowly drove over. The professor had truly arrived.
He Tianxiang once again took the lead, opening the rear door. Secretary Lin and the other chief physicians followed closely. At the same time, the nurses on both sides applauded and cheered to welcome her.
"Yun Ting Ge, let's go take a look..."
Su Ke'er tugged at Wan Yun Ting's arm and hurried to squeeze through the crowd, wanting to see who the professor from the capital was.
"Zhong Shu, it's good to finally see you."
He Tianxiang greeted a woman in her forties with neat short hair and a somewhat stern face.
"Old He, long time no see." Huang Zhong Shu shook hands with He Tian Xiang. They were classmates.
"By the way."
He Tian Xiang pointed to Secretary Lin and introduced Huang Zhong Shu, "This is President Kang's secretary, and his wife has already gone upstairs to take care of the elderly lady."
"Professor Huang, thank you for coming all the way from the capital despite your busy schedule. I thank you on behalf of President Kang," Secretary Lin said politely.
Huang Zhong Shu smiled, showing no signs of being overly flattered.
"Let me introduce everyone."
He Tian Xiang seized the opportunity while everyone was present. "Professor Huang Zhong Shu is an authority in our country's intestinal disease field and serves as the head of the expert group at Peking Union Medical College Hospital."
"She also once wrote a paper on the department of gastroenterology that was recognized by the national, and even global, health organizations. If she weren't my old classmate, I wouldn't have been able to invite this esteemed figure."
"Professor Huang, welcome, welcome. With you here, we are all at ease."
Vice President Zhang Jian Lin, who had already rushed down, led the way with the other chief physicians, clapping their welcome with enthusiasm, as if they were eager to fawn over her.
Hearing how impressive Professor Huang was, Su Ke'er, who was outside the crowd, kept jumping like a little rabbit. However, due to her height, she couldn't see Huang Zhong Shu who was surrounded by people.
"Yun Ting Ge, I can't see. Could you lift me up? I want to see what Professor Huang looks like," Su Ke'er said, turning her head.
Wan Yun Ting was stunned. "This might not be appropriate..."
"Oh, hurry up..."
To everyone's surprise, Su Ke'er, disregarding decorum, grabbed his hands and placed them on her waist, asking Wan Yun Ting to lift her so she wouldn't miss out.
Wan Yun Ting gave a wry smile, hesitant to act, but unable to resist Su Ke'er's urging. He then hugged her slender waist and lifted her high. She exclaimed joyfully, "I see her!"
Facing everyone's pleasantries, Huang Zhong Shu offered a polite smile. "Old He, let's dispense with the pleasantries. First, tell me about the patient's current condition."
"Right, right."
He Tian Xiang nodded, and then Zhang Jian Lin called out, "Jian Lin, quickly brief Professor Huang on the patient's condition. Zhong Shu, let's talk as we walk."
Thus, Huang Zhong Shu, accompanied by her assistant, headed into the hospital's main building with He Tian Xiang and the others.
Zhang Jian Lin, who was the director of gastroenterology and responsible for the richest man's mother's illness, followed beside them, chattering away. He didn't even notice Wan Yun Ting as he passed by.
A group of people bustled in behind them.
"Yun Ting Ge, quickly put me down. Let's go see too..."
Su Ke'er patted the hand on her waist that Wan Yun Ting was holding. He responded with an "oh" and quickly withdrew his hand...
Both of them felt awkward. Seeing that they had already entered the main building, she tugged at Wan Yun Ting's arm again. "Yun Ting Ge, let's hurry and catch up. They've all gone."
"Okay."
Wan Yun Ting helplessly allowed himself to be pulled along by the girl as they followed everyone inside...
In the hospital's main building, floors below the eighth housed outpatient departments, as well as external departments like hematology, laboratory, and imaging.
Floors above the eighth were for administrative departments and the top floor contained premium wards.
Those admitted to premium wards were no ordinary patients.
Led by He Tian Xiang and Zhang Jian Lin, Huang Zhong Shu and her group entered a premium ward, which was over a hundred square meters, fully equipped with various medical equipment and facilities.
In addition to the patient's room, there was a room for relatives and a living room. The decoration was luxurious and extravagant, using only the highest quality materials.
"Mrs. Zhou, the professor from the capital is here."
He Tian Xiang walked in and softly called out to Mrs. Zhou, who was sitting beside the patient's bed.
"Then please invite her in quickly to see my mother."
As Huang Zhong Shu walked in, Mrs. Zhou nodded to her and moved aside.
Since there were quite a few doctors entering, no one paid much attention. Moreover, since Wan Yun Ting was wearing a cleaner's uniform, everyone assumed he was there to clean.
Therefore, he and Su Ke'er successfully blended into the spacious ward.
On the bed lay an elderly lady in her seventies. Her hair was dyed black, but her complexion was very pale. She appeared weak and frail. This was the mother of the richest man, Kang Hong Wen.
Huang Zhong Shu got straight to the point, confirmed what IV drip the patient was receiving, then bent down to carefully observe the old lady's complexion. She then took the old lady's hand and gently asked, "Madam, what discomfort are you feeling now?"
"Dizzy, stomach ache, and tired, with no strength," the old lady said weakly.
She had been experiencing diarrhea for the past few days, coupled with a persistent low-grade fever that made her feel groggy and very uncomfortable.
"I understand. Please rest well."
Huang Zhong Shu smiled slightly, seemingly having reached a diagnosis. Seeing that the old lady had no energy to speak, she didn't ask further questions. She turned to He Tian Xiang and the others and said, "Let's talk outside; don't disturb the patient's rest."
Zhou Cai Hong, who was standing nearby, said to them, "Please come up with a treatment plan as soon as possible. Don't let my mother suffer any longer."
"Yes, yes..."
Zhang Jian Lin and the others, sweating profusely, nodded repeatedly and then followed He Tian Xiang and Huang Zhong Shu out to the living room.
As everyone was heading out, Wan Yun Ting moved closer to observe the old lady's complexion carefully. Secretary Lin frowned and said coldly, "There's no cleaning needed here. Get out."
Seeing this, Wan Yun Ting nodded and smiled, then turned to leave.
"Professor Huang, do you have a solution?" Zhang Jian Lin asked impatiently, wiping his sweat.
The other doctors present were also waiting.
"Preliminary judgment suggests the patient is suffering from a multiple bacterial infection!"
Huang Zhong Shu frowned and said to Zhang Jian Lin, "Didn't you conduct some tests? Show me the reports."
Zhang Jian Lin immediately handed her all the previous test reports for President Kang's mother. After carefully reviewing them, Huang Zhong Shu confirmed her diagnosis. "This is a typical case of imbalanced gut flora leading to secondary complications!"
He Tian Xiang, Zhang Jian Lin, and the numerous doctors present looked pleasantly surprised. As expected of a professor from the capital, her skills were indeed extraordinary!
Wan Yun Ting, standing with Su Ke'er outside the crowd, frowned slightly. He seemed to be analyzing the old lady's condition as well.
"Since the condition has been determined."
He Tian Xiang, delighted, smiled at Huang Zhong Shu. "Then please provide a treatment plan, and we will implement it immediately."
Huang Zhong Shu looked at the reports, pacing back and forth. "Antibiotics have been used without effect. If that's the case, we can only use a fast-acting plan!"
"What plan?"
Everyone's eyes widened. Huang Zhong Shu nodded and said, "Let's try using a probiotic agent along with an antibiotic enhancer."
"Oh, how could I not have thought of that," Zhang Jian Lin exclaimed, clapping his hands excitedly.
He Tian Xiang glanced at him. "If you could have thought of it, you wouldn't still be in my small hospital."
"Haha..."
The others laughed, and the atmosphere lightened considerably.
Huang Zhong Shu enjoyed the flattery and waved her hand. "Then let's administer it quickly. I have to return to the capital this afternoon, and time is pressing."
"Okay, Jian Lin, immediately administer this plan to President Kang's mother..." He Tian Xiang said happily, finally able to relax.
Mrs. Zhou and Secretary Lin inside were also pleased to hear that there was a treatment plan.
Huang Zhong Shu personally administered the probiotic agent and antibiotic to the elderly lady.
Afterward, everyone could only wait and see if the plan would be effective.
He Tian Xiang pulled Huang Zhong Shu to the living room outside and pointed to He Jian Yi. "Zhong Shu, this is my son, He Jian Yi. He's the director in the emergency department."
"Hello, Auntie Huang."
He Jian Yi smiled happily at Huang Zhong Shu. "We met in the capital a few years ago..."
"Mm, that's good. You've become a director," Huang Zhong Shu chuckled perfunctorily, continuing to listen to their obsequious flattery.
"This Professor Huang is truly amazing; she solved the old lady's problem as soon as she arrived." Su Ke'er looked at Wan Yun Ting, who was standing with her outside the ward entrance, her eyes full of admiration.
However, Wan Yun Ting smiled faintly. Su Ke'er noticed his unusual smile. "Yun Ting Ge, do you think something is amiss?"
"Mm, we'll know soon."
Wan Yun Ting's lips curved upwards as he played coy.
