hnique could become the core secret art of the Xiao family.When the disaster struck their family years ago, Elder Yue's father was in his twenties and had been adopted at around fifteen. Even then, he...Chapter 447: Complete Staff
"Hello, if you're here for a consultation, please take a number and wait your turn!" Just as Xiao Yu entered the Wan Sheng Hall, the young girl behind the counter at the entrance handed him a numbered ticket and told him to queue up.
"I'm not here to see a doctor..."
"In that case, may I ask what we can do for you" Xiao Yu said with an awkward smile after seeing the girl give him a number. However, before he could finish his sentence, another woman's voice sounded from behind him. Turning around, he saw a woman in her late twenties standing there looking at him.
"Um... I'm actually one of the doctors here..." Xiao Yu said to the woman, feeling somewhat puzzled about who she was. Had he hired two cashiers
The young girl behind the counter and the woman behind Xiao Yu were both taken aback upon hearing his words. After taking a good look at him from head to toe, they realized it wasn't very polite to just stare, so they quickly invited him to put his luggage on the counter.
These two women were actually an accountant and cashier that Xiao Hongyang had hired. Before leaving, Xiao Yu told Xiao Hongyang to make all decisions regarding hiring without consulting him. As a result, Xiao Hongyang didn't inform Xiao Yu about this change in staff, so he was unaware of the new additions.
When these two women heard Xiao Yu say that he was one of the doctors there, they were both stunned. When they came for their interviews, they knew that neither the owner nor the doctor would be present at the clinic. After chatting with each other later, they learned that the owner and doctor were very young. They wondered who this person could possibly be, considering that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners tend to be more experienced as they age—would a younger doctor be able to treat patients effectively
However, based on what Dr. Xiao said, along with the high praise from other staff members and patients for him, it seemed he was practically considered a miracle healer. This left them even more confused.
This is why when Xiao Yu announced that he was one of the doctors there just now, they stared at him oddly. They hadn't expected Xiao Yu to be as young as rumored.
After placing his items down, Xiao Yu said something to both women and headed towards the rest room.
"Dr. Xiao, you're back..."
"Dr. Xiao..."
When Xiao Yugang just reached the entrance of the rest room, Erxi and Yuan Chao, who were busy dispensing medicine, noticed him and greeted him.
"Hmm, I'm back. You two keep going. I need to freshen up!" Xiao Yugang nodded at them and said that. After saying this, he pushed open the door and entered the rest room.
Not long after, Xiao Yugang came out of the rest room again and returned to the counter, taking his medical bag out and sitting down by his consultation desk.
The two women who saw Xiao Yugang sitting at the consultation desk whispered to each other softly.
"Who hasn't been seen yet Come over here!" After settling in, Xiao Yugang said to those queuing up or gathered around Xiao Hongyang waiting for treatment.
Upon hearing Xiao Yugang's voice, the patients noticed him. When they saw him, their faces brightened with delight. They hadn't paid attention when Xiao Yugang entered earlier because any new patients who did notice him didn’t know him.
These newly arrived patients had never seen Xiao Yugang before and thus remained where they were in line after hearing his words since he was too young for them to believe he could treat their illnesses.
"Doctor Xiao..."
"Doctor Xiao is back..."
"Hello, Doctor Xiao..."
Those who knew Xiao Yugang greeted him when they heard his voice. Seeing no one at his station, they quickly approached.
A group of people moved from around Xiao Hongyang and queued up in front of Xiao Yugang. When these folks had dispersed, Xiao Yugang finally saw Xiao Hongyang sitting inside. At this moment, Xiao Hongyang was focused on taking a patient's pulse.
After he finished, he turned to the patient and gave his instructions before turning to Xiao Yugang with an expression of delight, saying, "Master, you're back. Congratulations, Master! Your name has spread throughout the Traditional Chinese Medicine community. This trip to Beijing was quite a success!"
Although Xiao Hongyang hadn't gone to Beijing himself, he knew about everything that happened there due to calls from Old Yue and Yue Hongbin. His wife Bai Jing also informed him in detail about her promotion and even told him how their son would be able to learn medicine under the tutelage of Xiao Yugang.
Shao Hongyang never expected that so many things would happen during Xiao Yu's short trip to the capital city. Moreover, Xiao Yu shone brilliantly at the exchange conference, gaining recognition from senior experts and masters in the traditional Chinese medicine community, who are mostly over sixty years old.
As Xiao Yu’s disciple, even though Xiao Yu is younger than him, Shao Hongyang felt immensely proud when he heard this news.
Xiao Yu, at his age of twenty-something, being acknowledged by these experts and masters for his standing in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, suggests an unimaginable future achievement.
And Shao Hongyang had also heard from Yue Hongbin about that case treated by Xiao Yu. Although the method Xiao Yu used was simple, it baffled the entire medical community—worldwide. The fact that he could cure a case with such simplicity demonstrated his capability.
A problem so easily solvable yet unaddressed by the global medical community was resolved in less than twenty minutes by Xiao Yu, which speaks volumes about his proficiency.
Upon hearing Shao Hongyang’s words, Xiao Yu smiled and nodded to him, saying: "Whether famous or not, the study of traditional Chinese medicine is endless. A false reputation burdens one without utility! Let's continue seeing patients now."
Patients who hadn’t seen Xiao Yu before showed expressions of astonishment when they heard Shao Hongyang call Xiao Yu his master and started buzzing with discussions.
Unaware of the norms in the traditional Chinese medicine community, to them, it was quite unusual for a forty-something-year-old man to refer to someone in their twenties as 'master' with such respect.
This led to much speculation among them. They were familiar with Shao Hongyang’s medical skills, which they considered superb; however, now finding out that this highly skilled physician was actually the disciple of a young doctor made them feel disoriented.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Shao Hongyang bowed to him and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Master!" After saying this, he sat down and continued diagnosing his patients.
Xiao Yu nodded approvingly at Shao Hongyang’s attitude, which was very humble and receptive of advice.
Seeing that Shao Hongyang had resumed pulse-taking for the patients, Xiao Yu also turned around to do the same.
The two women working behind the counter were wide-eyed with surprise at Shao Hongyang’s actions. To them, he was already a highly skilled master; it astonished them to see him show such respect towards a young man like Xiao Yu.
At first, they had heard that the young doctor was Shao Hongyang's teacher, but they thought it might just be casual banter typical of factory settings. They never imagined it would turn out so formal and serious.
"Doctor Xiao, could you please take a look at me How have I been recently" An elderly man in his sixties was sitting before Xiao Yu’s consultation desk. He stretched out his hand when he saw Xiao Yu sit down.
The majority of the patients lining up for their turn with Xiao Yu were old folks who had been members of Wan Sheng Tang since its early days and so, they were quite familiar with him. Hence, as soon as they saw him take a seat, they would rush over to queue up.
Those who hadn’t met Doctor Xiao before either stayed at the back or observed from a distance. After all, he was too young for those unfamiliar with him to feel assured of his medical skills, so there weren’t many patients lining up for him.
"Your complexion looks good; there shouldn’t be any major issues!" Hearing what the elderly man said, Xiao Yu nodded and replied before reaching out to take his pulse.
A moment later, he released the old man’s wrist. "Make sure you drink more water and eat less greasy food as well as meat. There aren’t any other significant problems. You have to be careful in your daily life; they say that medicine accounts for only 30%, while care and recuperation account for 70%. That’s what your situation needs."
"Yes, yes, I’ll definitely follow Doctor Xiao’s advice!" The elderly man nodded rapidly upon hearing Xiao Yu's words.
The reason these old folks loved to see Xiao Yu was because despite his youth, he possessed a charisma that made people believe in him.
“Alright, the next person!” After saying this, Xiao Yu addressed the patient behind the elderly man.
"Doctor Xiao, will I need medication Why don’t you prescribe something for me" The elderly man turned back to ask as he was about to leave after standing up.
“Heh, no need. All medicine has its side effects. Taking it when there’s no illness can be harmful!” Hearing what the old man said, Xiao Yu smiled and replied.
The elderly man nodded hastily in thanks upon hearing Xiao Yu's words before he stood to one side and watched as Xiao Yu treated patients. Xiao Yu was very charismatic during his consultations; even those unfamiliar with medical knowledge would be drawn to him. Especially when dealing with difficult cases, his treatments were truly miraculous.
Especially when taking a patient’s pulse, it was the most captivating part of his examinations. He could ascertain whether a person had old injuries from before and where they were located just by feeling their pulse. This was what attracted those who stayed to watch him treat patients.
In the eyes of some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, these simple pulse-taking techniques were ordinary, but in the eyes of the patient, it was akin to a divine skill. Some patients even wouldn’t leave after being treated, choosing instead to sit for half an hour just to observe. The majority of people gathered around Xiao Hongyang earlier had been those who hadn’t left after their consultations.
Since Xiao Yu’s arrival, the line split into two queues and things started moving faster. By 6:30 in the afternoon, they finally saw off their last patient. (To be continued...)to tell she had just suffered an episode!Seeing that, Xiao Yu reached out to remove all the needles from her body and head. Once the epilepsy attack subsided, there would be no further issues."Alright...
