Chapter 148 Program
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As a doctor, being denied by a patient was the saddest thing. Fang Liu had just completed her consultation, so she was apprehensive about her rating. Fang Liu would
usually be satisfied when patients praised her. But the older gentleman’s disapproval was a massive blow to Fang Liu’s self-esteem.
Cui Mao walked forward and patted Fang Liu’s shoulder. Cui Mao then comforted her, “It’s common to encounter unreasonable patients. You shouldn’t lose confidence in
yourself just because of a few words. There will be many patients for you to treat, so don’t be discouraged. Just think of the older gentleman as a clown.”
Fang Liu wiped away her tears and smiled gratefully at Cui Mao. “Thank you for comforting me, Doctor Cui.”
After a long pause, Fang Liu said worriedly, “I suspected that someone had poisoned him, so I suggested that we do a blood test. But now that I think about it, I’m not 100%
sure if he was poisoned.”
Cui Mao defended Fang Liu. “It’s normal for doctors not to be able to see through a patient’s illness. That’s why we rely on scientific tools to help us make a more accurate
judgment. It was right for you to suggest a blood test, but it’s his problem if he disagrees. You shouldn’t blame your medical skills.”
Fang Liu nodded. Cui Mao managed to ease the stress that Fang Liu felt. She smiled embarrassedly and said, “I’m sorry, Doctor Cui, but am I too fragile? I think you might
have spent too much time trying to comfort me.”
Cui Mao replied gently, “You’re still young, and you still have lots to learn. You will understand these principles the longer you remain in this industry. All right, stop
overthinking. Let’s get back to work.”
Fang Liu then got back into the groove of things and quickly forgot about the older gentleman. But when she got home, she realized that Mo Yu had heard about the
incident, and his expression was unsightly.
“That older gentleman is Big Gong’s father. He’s known for being a miser. Not only is he greedy, but he’s also afraid of dying. He was reluctant to go to Cui Mao’s clinic in the
past. He complained that the consultation fee was too expensive.”
“But when he went to a public hospital, he either complained that the doctors weren’t competent or that the service was terrible. He would refuse to pay their fees, and
sometimes, he would even assault the staff members. He would appear on the news a few times a year.”
Fang Liu didn’t expect to have such a notorious patient.
Mo Yu continued, “The public clinics in the area refused to treat him, and he probably had no choice but to go to Doctor Cui’s hospital. After all, the Gong family must’ve
gotten a membership card for Doctor Cui’s clinic.”
Fang Liu nodded and said, “Yes, Doctor Cui fully refunded Old Man Gong, including the membership fees. Our clinic will no longer welcome a scoundrel like him.”
Mo Yu smiled and sneered, “This old man will die from pain because no one wants to treat him.”
As a doctor, Fang Liu could not bring herself to curse a patient. She only hoped never to have a patient like Old Man Gong again.
When Fang Liu returned to the hospital the next day, Cui Mao suddenly called her over. When she arrived at Cui Mao’s office, he greeted her with a big smile.
“Hello, Doctor Cui. Why did you call me in?” Fang Liu asked after taking a seat. Cui Mao then handed Fang Liu a stack of documents.
“The city’s television station has launched a program about various rare diseases. They have already launched four episodes, and the show has been well received. The show
is nominated for a top ten position at the Annual Film and Television Festival.”
“The show’s producers initially invited a professor from a particular research institute, but that professor had some personal business to attend to, so he traveled abroad.
Now, our clinic has the opportunity to appear on the program. I called you in because I wanted to know if you would be interested in participating in the show.”
Fang Liu looked at the documents and raised her head in surprise. “Y-You want me to participate? But this is such a rare occasion, Doctor Cui. Why don’t you go instead?
I’m still inexperienced, so won’t it be unconvincing for me to go in your place?”
Cui Mao smiled and shook his head. “I don’t lack money or notoriety, so this opportunity is expandable. The other two level-five physicians in the hospital are older people,
so they’re not interested in getting involved.”
“There’s no need to mention Chu Hao because I’m too lazy to convince him. I’ve given it some thought, and I think you would be perfect for this opportunity.”
Fang Liu wanted to say something, but Cui Mao interrupted her, “I know what you’re going to say. You think that you aren’t capable enough, right?”
Fang Liu nodded embarrassedly.
Cui Mao stroked his chin and pondered. Then he reminded Fang Liu of something. “Do you still remember that older gentleman who came to the hospital and caused
trouble?”.
