Chapter 715: Have You Heard of the Name of Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand? (1)
With many eyes constantly on her, any minor mistake, even a typo in a tweet, could become fodder for the media and her detractors.
As a celebrity, privacy was a luxury she barely knew.
At the end of last year, upon her arrival in the city of Sijiu, Lin Qingchen had helped her secure this medical license.
Officially, her qualifications were not sufficient, but Lin Qingchen’s mentor had taken the time to personally evaluate her in various aspects and had prepared several examinations for her, through which she had eventually earned her license.
This was the first time she was using it.
The nurse stared blankly at Si Fuqing’s face, then suddenly screamed in recognition, “You, you, you, you…”
“Shush,” Si Fuqing placed a finger to her lips, shaking her head slightly, “Keep it down, we don’t want to attract the paparazzi.”
The nurse quickly covered her mouth, and it took her several seconds to regain her composure, though she still stammered, “I-I-I can’t decide on my own, I-I-I need to consult the department manager, they…”
“Go ahead,” Si Fuqing nodded understandingly, “I’ll wait here.”
The nurse ran off, leaning against the wall as she rushed to the department head’s office, panting as she relayed the situation briefly, “Ma-Manager, I-I just met a doctor who claims she can handle the surgery for the elderly lady. She has a medical license. M-Maybe let her try?”
“Nonsense!” The department manager was so furious that he laughed in disbelief, “There are plenty with medical licenses, but does that mean they can handle it? The head of hospital has already gone to call Elder Cai, who himself isn’t sure he can manage it.”
A young girl?
What a joke.
The nurse opened her mouth to argue, “But manager, she…”
The nurse recognizing the famed “Divine Beauty of Great Xia” as Si Fuqing removed her mask.
The nurse was also aware of Si Fuqing’s so-called transparent capability.
Her willingness to remove her mask meant she was confident in her ability to treat.
“Enough,” the manager interrupted, “I appreciate the girl’s good intentions, but this is a matter of life and death. What if something goes wrong? What would happen to this young girl’s future?”
The nurse, now sweating profusely, understood the gravity of the situation.
Si Fuqing was a star.
If this got out, who knew how many would viciously attack her online.
“Do you understand the seriousness now?” the manager stood up, “Elder Cai has arrived, I’ll go to greet him.”
The nurse returned to relay the director’s words to Si Fuqing.
“Elder Cai?” Si Fuqing pondered for a moment, “In that case, may I go and observe?”
The nurse nodded.
As they approached the ICU, the manager was escorting Elder Cai upstairs, “Elder Cai, we are fortunate you are here, I wouldn’t know what to do otherwise.”
Elder Cai Zhongnian, Lin Qingchen’s teacher, despite his advanced age, was a highly respected surgeon who had even been invited to and trained in the Free State.
Noticing Si Fuqing standing nearby, Elder Cai stopped, staring at the familiar-looking girl.
Following his gaze, the manager remarked, “Elder Cai, this young lady is concerned about the patient and wants to personally intervene, but I fear it might tarnish her reputation.”
“Oh, it’s you?” Elder Cai finally recognized Si Fuqing, “I know this young lady; I helped with her medical license. Let her come over.”
The manager was baffled, “What?”
“What are you ‘what’-ing about?” Cai Zhongnian beckoned to Si Fuqing, “Come here.”
Si Fuqing approached amidst the stunned looks of the manager and the nurse, “I’m here.”
She then went to change into medical protective gear, wrapping herself tightly.
The manager hesitated, “Elder Cai, I was going to have others assist you.”
“No need,” Cai Zhongnian waved dismissively, “Just the two of us is enough, no one else come in.”
With just two people for such a critical surgery?
But with Cai Zhongnian insisting, the manager had no choice but to agree.
Others watched as the young girl followed Dr. Cai into the ICU, curious about her involvement.
The doors to the ICU closed.
Cai Zhongnian asked, “What brings you here today?”
“I came with a friend for a gastroscopy,” Si Fuqing explained, “Just happened to be here.”
Cai Zhongnian nodded and immediately got to the point, “The old lady was shot in the head when she was young. Fortunately, the bullet didn’t hit directly, and she miraculously survived, but she’s had severe complications ever since. This isn’t the first time she’s had an episode, and each one is worse than the last. Come take a look.”
