Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Old Mu, what’s wrong?” Su Yun was very sensitive. When he noticed that Mu Tao had a small problem, he asked directly.
“Why is the light in the teacher’s office still on?” Mu Tao was a little surprised. He asked the chief resident to bring Zheng Ren, Su Yun, and the Professor to change into white clothes while he went to Old Wu’s office.
“The newly built hospital is really different.” Su Yun walked in the corridor of the Department of Interventional Medicine, he sighed and said, “Just like the main department of Concorde and the International Department, they can’t be compared at all. In the main department of Concorde, those who can be assigned to an outpatient clinic are almost all academicians.”
He had just changed his clothes and walked out of the duty room when he saw Mu Tao walking over.
“Boss Zheng, the Professor said that there is a patient. Please take a look at him.” Mu Tao’s expression was a little strange, and he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Su Yun was about to retort, but Zheng Ren asked first, “Old Mu, is there anything special?”
Mu Tao smiled bitterly and said, “Boss Zheng, let’s talk inside.”
As he said that, not only did he not bring them to Old Wu’s office, but he also welcomed Zheng Ren and forced the three of them into the duty room.
Rudolf Wagner was confused. Su Yun sneered. He thought that Mu Tao was sneaky and unpresentable.
“Boss Zheng, let’s just look at the radiographic films today. Don’t talk. It’s best if you don’t talk,” Mu Tao lowered his voice and said in a low voice.
“Huh?” Zheng Ren was stunned.
“What? Your professor still has a problem with the boss seeing patients? If that’s the case, we won’t watch it. We’ll just take a look at the patients before the surgery and go home early to rest. I’m just teasing you and coughing all day long.” Su Yun was not happy and directly retorted.
“That’s not what I meant. The patient is a little special.” Mu Tao and Su Yun had operated side by side for a few days and nights. He knew his temper like the back of his hand. He was not angry, but instead gently expressed their apology.
“Tell me, what’s going on?” Zheng Ren was curious.
“The patient is a wealthy man from Xiangjiang, the head of a big conglomerate. He’s very famous. I think Boss Zheng knows about him,” Mu Tao said.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t talk about money. My head hurts,” Su Yun said.
“Twelve years ago, his father passed away. Mr. Zou started to take charge of the family business. But from then on, he got a disease just like his father,” said Mu Tao. Mu Tao’s expression became even more strange. He lowered his voice and said, “It’s said that he was bewitched by someone, or maybe it was the Nanyang Gu Poison.”
“Old Mu, you are a freaking doctor.” Su Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry. He patted Mu Tao’s shoulder and said, “You are usually quite rational. Why did you bring up the Nanyang Gu Poison?”
“Sigh.” Mu Tao sighed, and he said, “The situation here is different from the situation in the north. Everyone believes it, and they will gradually get used to it. However, this illness is very strange. It can cause sudden cardiac arrest, and no reason can be found. So, Boss Zheng, don’t talk too much. I’ll pull you out after taking a look. We’ll take a look at the patients and send you to rest.”
Zheng Ren nodded and smiled. “Okay.”
Only then did Mu Tao relax and feel a little embarrassed as he said, “Boss Zheng, I really don’t believe in the words of ghosts and gods. This person’s illness is especially strange. There’s nothing wrong with the examination, but he often falls asleep. That’s how his father died. Back then, the entirety of Xiangjiang was in an uproar.”
“There’s nothing wrong with the examination?” Zheng Ren’s curiosity was piqued.
If there was a basic illness, everything would be fine. Perhaps the doctors in Xiangjiang did not notice it.
But nothing was wrong. He would just fall asleep and die...
Yes, Zheng Ren also vaguely believed in the matter of voodoo poisons and the like.
Of course, it was vague. As a medical student, Boss Zheng, who had to reach the prime of his life in intervention and general surgery, would definitely not believe in the supernatural.
Mu Tao did not speak anymore. He brought a few people to Elder Wu’s office. He gently knocked on the door and pushed it open to enter.
Elder Wu’s office was very large. Five young men in suits surrounded a twenty-something-year-old girl. It was very solemn.
Zheng Ren sighed in his heart at this ostentatious scene.
Elder Wu stood in front of the radiographic film viewer and carefully looked at the radiographic films. When he heard someone come in, he turned his head to take a look. Seeing that it was Zheng Ren, he waved his hand and said, “Boss Zheng, long time no see.”
Zheng Ren quickly walked to Elder Wu’s side and bent his waist slightly. With a warm smile on his face, he said, “Elder Wu, you are too polite.”
“Come, take a look at the radiographic films.” Wu Haishi did not talk much and pointed at the radiographic films.
It was a head CT. Zheng Ren took a glance and quickly reconstructed it. He did not find any problems.
“This is...” the girl was a little displeased and asked with a frown.
“It’s Boss Zheng from the Imperial Capital, the candidate for the Nobel Prize this year,” Mu Tao introduced.
The Buddha relied on gold, and the man relied on clothes. The identity of the Nobel Prize candidate was like a gorgeous robe, giving Zheng Ren a sense of holiness out of thin air.
Initially, the girl was very unhappy when she saw that Zheng Ren was not old. However, after hearing the name of the candidate for the Nobel Prize, she did not speak anymore.
Zheng Ren ignored the girl. Whether she was happy or not had nothing to do with him. After looking at the radiographic films, he said to Elder Wu, “There is no problem. What is the patient’s complaint?”
“Her master’s breathing and heart stopped 18 hours ago. Because he was discovered in time, he was rescued,” Wu Haishi said.
“Is there any examination of her heart and coronary artery?”
Mu Tao picked up a bag and handed it to Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren took a look. There was nothing wrong with her coronary artery. It was not a coronary heart disease. Then, Mu Tao took another test from the assistant girl and handed it to Zheng Ren.
The girl’s assistant was a little serious, but she had no right to speak here. She only looked at Zheng Ren coldly. From time to time, she glanced at Su Yun from the corner of her eyes. The ice in her eyes had melted.
All the tests were just as Mu Tao had said. There was nothing wrong with it. Everything was normal. It showed that this everything about the patient was perfectly normal.
Zheng Ren began to doubt the possibility of sudden death.
Maybe it was the drama that would happen when rich and noble families fought for the family property.
After reading all the information and exchanging a few words with Zheng Ren, Elder Wu said, “It looks fine. I want to give the patient a physical examination. If there are no more problems...”
“Mr. Wu, my father has already contacted the Mayo Clinic. I’m afraid he can’t come,” the girl refused.
“Then forget it.” Elder Wu did not say anything special.
This was the so-called ‘the doctor can’t come to the door’. It seemed like he had ulterior motives to come to the door actively to see the doctor.
“Thank you for your hard work.” The girl looked like a lady from a rich family. She was very gentle and polite. She stood up and bowed slightly. She smiled bitterly and turned around to leave.
Her assistant took out a gold card from her handbag and placed her hands in front of Elder Wu. “This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”
“I don’t understand the illness. There’s no need for this,” Elder Wu declined.
“I still have to thank you for your help. This is a token of my master’s appreciation. Please don’t decline.”
Mu Tao walked out from behind Elder Wu with a smile and took the gold card. The assistant then turned around and left.
