Chapter 291 - Chaos

The men were confused, yet they remained silent.

After all, the patient’s condition was not critical.

It was merely a case of acute gastroenteritis.

All the doctors present were highly competent.

For them, treating such a condition was effortlessly simple.

The most bewildered were Dean Lee and Director Zhang, who exchanged puzzled glances.

Director Zhang had previously reviewed the patient’s medical records; the patient was just a regular villager.

Why were so many prominent figures gathered here?

The city’s top gastroenterologists had all assembled.

Representatives from the Health Department were also present.

The situation was truly astounding.

Most notably, a renowned doctor from M City, who had been paid a hefty sum just to deliver a short report at a nearby hospital, was here.

This esteemed doctor was treating the old man with the utmost deference, addressing him as his mentor.

He consistently referred to the old man as his teacher.

Who was this elderly gentleman?

Director Zhang was utterly perplexed. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Suddenly, Dean Lee’s eyes lit up.

In a flurry, he took out his smartphone.

He quickly opened an app and found a document.

Under the document was a brief introduction along with two photographs.

The first photo depicted this very old man!

Dean Lee nearly passed out.

This man was a towering figure in the medical realm of the empire!

Second Aunt realized Su Ming was becoming increasingly influential.

Su Ming and the old man waited outside the operating room.

The old man sat down, pondered for a moment.

Then, the senior doctors neatly lined up in two rows and stood obediently along the corridor.

The hospital’s doctors and nurses emerged.

The patients also came out.

Everyone speculated about the identity of the VIP.

These doctors typically charged high consultation fees, but now they were merely standing in the hallway.

Two hours later, the operating room lights came on.

The chief surgeon emerged, soaked in sweat.

He walked out.

“Teacher, the surgery was a success,” he announced quietly and respectfully to the old man.

The chief surgeon quickly approached the old man and bowed, speaking in a subdued tone.

“Alright!”

The old man nodded and looked at Su Ming, saying, “Mr. Su, your uncle's surgery went well. He should be fine as long as he takes proper care of himself.”

“Teacher, please have Mr. Su's uncle come to my hospital. We have better facilities,” a doctor nearby interjected.

At that moment, another doctor stepped forward.

“Teacher, ignore him. Mr. Su's uncle should come to my hospital. We have a special ward with all necessary amenities, and his stay would be free.”

Another doctor interjected, “Don't listen to them. Their hospital isn’t as good. Our hospital is the finest in the city.”

“Teacher, don’t believe them. Hospitals in M City are superior!”

“M City is too far post-surgery. Despite your academic position during our PhD days, it’s better for Mr. Lee to come to my hospital,” another added.

“I was the first to offer. What are you suggesting?”

“Being first doesn’t matter!”

“Our hospital not only provides ample medical resources but is also conveniently located. We’ll cover all medical costs for Mr. Lee's family!”

“All medical costs for both Mr. Lee's and Mr. Su's families will be waived at our hospital!”
