"Director Zou, look, look at his attitude!" Qi Shanshan had never been ignored like this before.
"Does this kind of person deserve to be a doctor? I'll report him to the medical system!" The man standing beside Qi Shanshan also reprimanded.
Zou Wei looked troubled. He couldn't afford to offend either side, so he could only try to persuade them, "Ms. Qi, Dr. Chen's medical skills are truly remarkable. Isn't the most important thing for us to see the elder? We didn't come here to argue. How about this, let's first see how Dr. Chen's skills are. If you are satisfied, we'll let him examine the elder, alright?"
Qi Shanshan's chest heaved with anger, but after hearing Zou Wei's words, she gradually calmed down.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zou Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He personally pushed the elder's wheelchair towards Chen Fan's consultation room.
At this moment, there were two patients in Chen Fan's consultation room: an aunt with a pale face and cold sweat all over, and an old man with a blood-stained right hand.
They appeared to be ordinary people with modest conditions.
They were also local residents who had heard that the psychiatric hospital had newly opened a surgery department, so they came here for treatment.
The aunt had been holding her stomach since she arrived, her face pale, and beads of sweat like soybeans constantly dripping from her forehead.
"Doctor, I don't know what's wrong. My stomach has been hurting for three days, and even painkillers don't help." The aunt quickly explained her situation upon seeing Chen Fan, her voice trembling slightly, clearly due to the pain.
"Where does it hurt? This spot?" Chen Fan pressed on the lower right side of the aunt's abdomen with his hand.
"Ouch!"
The aunt immediately cried out in pain, and more cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Chen Fan held his breath and looked at the aunt's abdomen.
"You have appendicitis." Chen Fan saw that the aunt's appendix was somewhat inflamed, and this was the cause of the pain.
"Appendicitis? Doesn't that require surgery?" Zhao Qianqian, who was standing nearby, said in surprise.
"What? This, this needs surgery? Can't it be cured with some medicine?" Many people her age were afraid of illness, especially when they heard the word "surgery," and their faces were filled with panic.
"Heh, isn't he a miracle doctor? Could it be that even a miracle doctor can't cure appendicitis?"
"What kind of bullshit miracle doctor, I dare say he doesn't even know how to perform an appendectomy."
"In this shabby place, they probably don't even have an operating room. I think this so-called miracle doctor has likely never even been on an operating table."
"I really don't know why Director Zhang recommended him to us, and even called him a miracle doctor. It's simply a joke."
"Fortunately, my father didn't let him treat him, otherwise, who knows what the consequences would have been!"
Several sarcastic voices suddenly came from the doorway of the consultation room.
"Who are you people? Why are you slandering Dr. Chen?" Zhao Qianqian, unable to contain her anger, questioned the people at the door.
"Why? Just because he's impersonating a miracle doctor? I'm not only going to slander him, but I'm also going to report him to the relevant authorities!" a middle-aged man said mockingly.
"Qianqian, ignore them." Chen Fan's voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing Chen Fan speak, Zhao Qianqian could only glare at the people at the door with indignation.
"Auntie, you don't need surgery for this. Although it's appendicitis, it's not very severe. The appendix hasn't completely necrotized yet, but you'll need a few acupuncture points." Chen Fan, ignoring the sarcastic remarks from the doorway, said to the aunt.
"Okay, okay, as long as there's no surgery, let alone a few needles, I can take dozens more!" The aunt nodded hastily.
Chen Fan found it amusing and comforted her, "Auntie, don't be nervous, it's just a few needles, it won't hurt."
At the same time, Chen Fan had already taken out his needle case and asked the aunt to lift her clothes, revealing the skin on her lower right side.
"Director Zou, is this your so-called miracle doctor?" Qi Shanshan asked Zou Wei with a mocking expression.
"Sister, I don't think we need to watch any further. Acupuncture to treat appendicitis, this isn't a miracle doctor, this is a sorcerer."
"Shanshan, let's go. I also think it's a waste of time. It's better to find a specialist for the elder to examine him as soon as possible."
Hearing them say they were leaving, Zou Wei quickly said, "Ms. Qi, since you're already here, just wait a bit longer. Maybe Dr. Chen can really cure it?"
The reason Zou Wei didn't want these people to leave was mainly because he was afraid they would slander the surgery department of Longgang Hospital.
Longgang Hospital was currently in its growth phase and could not withstand any rumors or attacks. Especially as the director of surgery, his responsibility was even greater.
"Director Zou, have you been brainwashed by him? If acupuncture can cure appendicitis, I'd believe pigs could fly!" Qi Dahai, Qi Shanshan's younger brother, said with disdain, deliberately speaking loudly to embarrass Chen Fan.
"Alright, let's go. Director Zou, it's not that we're not giving you face, it's because we really don't believe that this kid can be a miracle doctor." Qi Shanshan also wanted to leave.
"This..." Zou Wei looked embarrassed.
He had originally hoped that this incident would bring fame to the surgery department of Longgang Hospital, but he hadn't expected such a result.
Qi Shanshan's husband pushed the elder, and the group was about to leave.
"Miraculous, miraculous! It doesn't hurt anymore, Dr. Chen, I really don't hurt anymore!" However, at this moment, an exclamation from the aunt suddenly came from the surgery consultation room.
Several silver needles were inserted into the aunt's abdomen. As the last needle pierced the acupoint under the skin, the severe abdominal pain that the aunt had been experiencing instantly disappeared.
This sudden sound made Qi Shanshan and the others, who were about to leave, stop in their tracks.
"Is it real? Can acupuncture cure appendicitis?" Qi Dahai asked with disbelief.
A smile finally appeared on Zou Wei's face: "Ms. Qi, you see? I told you Dr. Chen would not disappoint you. His medical skills are truly remarkable. The elder's illness, perhaps Dr. Chen really has a way to cure it!"
Qi Shanshan looked back at the consultation room and saw that the aunt, who had been pale and sweating profusely earlier, now had a rosy complexion and even a look of excitement on her face.
"Dr. Chen, you are truly amazing. I was in pain for three days. If I had come to you earlier, I wouldn't have suffered this much!" The aunt sincerely gave Chen Fan a thumbs-up.
"It's all part of my duty. Don't eat spicy or irritating food for the next few days, and drink plenty of warm water," Chen Fan instructed.
"Do I need any medicine?" the aunt asked.
"No, just remember not to eat those things."
The aunt gratefully thanked Chen Fan again: "Thank you, Dr. Chen, you are truly a living Hua Tuo, a kind doctor with a Bodhisattva's heart!"
Chen Fan blushed a little at the aunt's praise and could only smile awkwardly.
He then removed the silver needles from the aunt's abdomen.
"Leave quickly after your appointment. Can't you see there are other patients waiting? What a lot of nonsense!" However, at this moment, Qi Dahai and the others walked into the consultation room and coldly berated the aunt.
