om 318. The room wasn't large but was elegantly decorated, exuding a sense of traditional charm. Xiao Yu walked over to the window and opened it; outside he saw an artificial lake in an ecological par...Chapter 117: The Marvelous External Inspection (Please recommend and vote for me!)

The people around them remained silent, looking at the mother-daughter pair with disdain. They thought to themselves, although it's free, shouldn't such a young person be examining patients What if they can't cure their illness, but instead make it worse You can’t save money here! However, no one said anything; they merely watched from the side and laughed inwardly at how these people were trying to save a small amount of money only to suffer greater losses.《》.

Not everyone was like them. Several of the earliest arrivals had already been examined by Xiao Yu, and now their faces were filled with anxiety as they kept checking the time and looking towards the entrance.

Today was a rare opportunity to see an expert for free; naturally, they wanted their family members to be seen too. At first, seeing so many people here had made them think that by the time their family arrived, all the slots would have been taken up. If today’s chance slipped away, where else could one find such good fortune

Especially those who consulted traditional Chinese medicine were generally older in age; at this stage of life, people usually had the heaviest burdens on their families and thus tended to live frugally. They hoped that their family would arrive as soon as possible.

However, they didn’t expect that no one around them believed in this young doctor; not a single person came forward for an examination. Those who had already been examined secretly rejoiced, thinking: It’s best if you all don't believe him! Then our families will definitely get to see the doctor today.

But when the woman's mother arrived, the atmosphere changed dramatically. These people, who were just starting to relax their minds, suddenly became tense again. They worried that after Xiao Yu finished treating the old lady, all these onlookers would seek medical attention too; then how long would they have to wait for their turn

Therefore, once they saw the old lady arrive, everyone quietly stepped outside to make calls.

"Doctor, please examine my mother. She often suffers from back pain that lasts for several days and subsides after a while; however, it keeps recurring in no time, and when she has severe pain, she can’t even walk. But once the pain goes away, she seems fine again."《》

With her daughter's support, the old lady reluctantly sat down at the consultation desk. Her daughter detailed her condition to Xiao Yu.《》

"Mom, where are the medical records and test results you were supposed to bring" The old lady's daughter turned around and asked her mother after introducing Xiao Yu.

"Here they are!" Although the old lady didn't trust this young TCM practitioner, now that she had come and was already seated at the consultation table, a glimmer of hope rose within her. This might be a typical patient’s psychology: sometimes they don’t believe in or like their doctor when seeking treatment, but once the diagnosis begins, they start to harbor hope for recovery.

The old lady took out a pile of medical records and test results from a nylon bag and handed them to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu received them without so much as glancing at them.

Seeing that Xiao Yu didn’t even look at the documents, the old lady felt deeply disappointed, thinking to herself that this young doctor wasn't up to scratch—perhaps he couldn’t even read the test results! Frustrated, she spoke out: "Young man, don’t you want to have a look at these papers"

"Hehe, Auntie, I don’t need to look at them. The tests show that there’s nothing wrong with you and your health is quite good, isn’t it" Xiao Yu chuckled as he spoke to the old lady.

Not only did the old lady feel perplexed but so did her daughter. They both thought: Could this be true Without even taking a pulse or looking at the documents, how can he know there’s nothing wrong with the test results

The old lady's daughter knew that despite Xiao Yu’s young age, his medical skills were indeed excellent, but she never expected him to have reached such a level. She was very clear about her mother’s condition; all major hospitals had given the same result: no problems detected, yet her mother still suffered from recurring symptoms every few days.

The onlookers around them scoffed at Xiao Yu when they saw he hadn’t even glanced at the test results before declaring there was nothing wrong with the old lady. They all looked at him in disbelief, except for Professor Yue who had a degree of trust in Xiao Yu.

Though Professor Yue somewhat believed in Xiao Yu’s abilities, his mind was filled with doubts: Having displayed mastery over acupuncture techniques just days ago, today he showed remarkable proficiency in prescriptions and diagnoses. Could he also have mastered the spirit of observation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis

Pondering this thought made Professor Yue take a sharp intake of breath. If Xiao Yu had truly grasped the essence of observation in TCM diagnostics, then his skills would be on par with those of a national-level master. But how could such mastery belong to someone so young Even he himself was only just beginning his journey towards becoming a national-level master, and due to certain past events, the field of Chinese medicine had seen many lineages break down in recent years, leading to fewer than five national masters today. The grandmasters were even more rare, with only one or two left, but these individuals were already over sixty years old. Xiao Yu was how old At most twenty-six!

"Is there no one behind this old lady in the queue Then we can join now!" At this moment, a voice came from the back of the crowd. It turned out that some people who had gone out to make phone calls earlier had returned, and seeing that there was no one queuing behind the old lady from afar, they shouted out.

The two people who returned each supported an elderly person. However, when these elders saw Xiao Yu, a young man, conducting consultations, their faces showed disbelief; yet, seeing the children's persistence, they reluctantly joined the queue.

Among the onlookers were some quick-witted individuals who noticed that these three people had queued up and carefully recalled that these individuals had already collected their medication when they arrived but hadn't left. Now it seemed like they were bringing elderly family members for medical consultations. Could this young traditional Chinese medicine doctor really be somewhat skilled

The more these few people thought about it, the more suspicious they felt. If Xiao Yu's diagnosis was not good, why would they wait eagerly for their elders to queue up After getting treated themselves, they brought elderly family members for consultation, which indicated something.

These few onlookers who originally just watched now firmly believed in what they thought and quietly moved to join the queue behind. They reasoned that medical consultations were free, so even if it didn't work out well, there was no loss to them; what if he could really help

Seeing these previous onlookers joining the queue, others looked down upon them, sighing in their hearts: "These days, there are truly many people trying to grab small advantages. They don’t even fear death for such petty gains and dare to try out medical treatments."

The remaining onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads at the sight of these queuing individuals.

At this moment, several others who had gone out to make phone calls also returned, followed by around eight or nine elderly men and women. It turned out that these elderly people were exercising in a park when they heard an elder's son mention on the phone that there was a TCM expert at Renhe Hall offering free medicine.

The middle-aged man carrying medicine who led them in could not help but grumble to the elders behind him upon seeing so many people queuing: "I told you to hurry up, yet look how long this queue has gotten!"

The elderly following him chuckled without speaking. With so many old brothers and sisters wanting to come, he couldn't just leave them behind either; thus, they waited until everyone was ready before coming together.

These people might have heard the middle-aged man talking about Xiao Yu's medical consultation, so they came without hesitation and joined at the end of the line.

Xiao Yu was seeing an elderly woman when he noticed a group of older men and women joining the queue behind them. He couldn't help but say to Elder Ye, "Senior Brother, could you ask someone to bring some chairs These people are so old; they might get tired out before I can even see them!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Elder Ye nodded secretly in approval. His junior not only had superb medical skills but also possessed high medical ethics. He didn’t think too highly of himself because of his skills and treat patients casually. Elder Ye then turned around to instruct the assistant named Xiao Liu a few things before continuing to watch Xiao Yu treating patients...

Xiao Yu gave the elderly woman a gentle smile, saying, "Auntie, if my guess is correct, you must have been sent down to rural areas when you were young, right And the place where you were sent down should also have a river. After finishing work, you usually went to bathe in the river at night when there were fewer people around, even during late autumn when it got cold, didn't you"

The elderly woman's eyes widened as Xiao Yu spoke; these matters were all her secrets, known only by her spouse. Since her children disliked hearing about them, she rarely mentioned them. Yet this young doctor seemed to have seen everything firsthand.

Because I've always sweated a lot, during those years when my family status was high and I was sent down to the countryside in northern China for labor, after each day's work, I would be drenched in sweat. Therefore, I usually went to bathe at the small river near the village every night. Even as autumn approached and it got colder, I still sweated a lot, but I could only wipe myself clean instead of bathing.

"Doctor, you're truly amazing! My children don't know much about these things either. How did you find out Are you a fortune-teller But how does this relate to my illness" The elderly woman was impressed after seeing Xiao Yu's accuracy and believing he had seen it firsthand.

"Haha, your illness may have just appeared recently, but the root cause is decades old. Your accent is clearly Southern Chinese with a hint of Northern dialect. Considering your age, you must have been sent down during those years...

“Then how do you know my family status was low and that’s why I was sent down” Before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, the elderly woman interrupted.

The old lady's heart was now racing with excitement; Xiao Yu's insights were so accurate, as if he had seen it all himself.t home required their attention. With Dr. Dai here, the legacy of the Dai family could continue on as well since his presence was far more significant than theirs.Furthermore, Rainy Xin had grown up f...
