Medical Master

Chapter 543

Fang Qiu walked out of the clinic and immediately saw a staff member standing in the middle of the queue. At this time, a middle-aged man of medium height with a crew cut was glaring at the staff member with dissatisfaction. He looked a little anxious, showing a look of being rational. He leaned forward and looked domineering, suppressing the staff member.

“It’s okay, let me have a look at the statistical sheet.”

Fang Qiu came out and pulled the staff member behind him. He glanced at the angry middle-aged man and then reached out to take the statistical paper. The staff member just completed collecting the information.

Fang Qiu took over the paper and had a closer look.

He saw that the list had divided the patients into the refractory ones and normal ones. And this man in front of him was just one of the normal patients.

Speaking of which, he just caught a bit of cold.

“Sir.” Fang Qiu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, “Although I volunteer to offer free treatments, I really don’t have enough time. Look at such a long line at the scene. I can’t finish seeing all the patients at all, so I have to focus on those urgent cases. You have a cold. I can write a prescription and let you bring it back right now. What do you think?”

The middle-aged man said, “Dr. Xiao Fang, I am a well-mannered person. You can rest assured that I won’t cut in line, but I can’t just do it in vain since I have tried so hard to line up for such a long time.”

“It’s not a matter of whether people cut in line or not.” Fang Qiu frowned and said, “This is a matter of life and death. You also saw the patient with acute appendicitis, right? Let me ask you. If you’re the one who suffers from acute appendicitis, do you want me to treat others first, or treat you first?”

“Of course you should treat me first.” The middle-aged man immediately turned his head and looked at the people standing on the same side as him. Then he said, “Didn’t you do the same thing just now?”

“That’s right.” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Since you think so, you should be able to understand the staff member’s meaning, right?”

“Why should I?” The middle-aged man snorted and said, “If there is an emergency, they can cut in line. I absolutely won’t stop them. Not all the people behind me are terminally ill. They can also be cured if they wait a little longer. Why should I give way to them?”

Fang Qiu frowned.

He then asked, “Let me put it this way. If your family or friends have cancer, should I treat them or others first?”

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He wanted to argue about something but stopped as he wanted to blurt out. In the end, he couldn’t utter a single word.

Fang Qiu asked again, “If you are suffering from diabetes, and the person in front of you is just having a slight cold, should I treat you first or the one in front of you who has a cold?”

The middle-aged man didn’t know how to respond, so he just kept silent with a little embarrassment on his face.

Fang Qiu continued to ask him so many questions, which made him completely speechless.

“I know, you’ve already thought it through.” Fang Qiu said to the middle-aged man. Then he turned to look at the others, and turned back again, looking at the middle-aged man and several people who were standing on the side of the middle-aged man to go against the program team and staff. “I hope that everyone can try to put yourself in other people’s shoes, which is not only beneficial to others, but also to yourself.”

After that, Fang Qiu didn’t think twice. He immediately took a few steps back and bowed to the middle-aged man. Then he bowed to the others standing in the same line as the middle-aged man, then retreated to the door of the clinic and bowed to all the patients who were lining up.

Seeing this, all of the people on the spot began to comfort Fang Qiu.

A large majority of them even turned to curse at the middle-aged man and those who were picking on the staff. All sorts of voices of criticism continued to spread among the crowd.

As he saw this, the middle-aged man’s face changed. He was so embarrassed that he didn’t even dare to look at Fang Qiu. He lowered his head, pulled his friends, and ran away in disgrace.

At the same time, many people who just came along for the ride knew that they were not sick at all. Instead of continuing to queue, they left the queue and stood at the door of the clinic to watch Fang Qiu seeing patients.

Some of the patients who didn’t have serious diseases and only had minor illnesses such as a slight cold all left the queue to give positions to other patients.

Under these circumstances, the long queue, which was impossible to see the end, was soon shortened a lot. There were more than 300 patients left to see the doctor in line.

After the PD told Fang Qiu about this condition, Fang Qiu finally continued to see patients.

Although the number of people had been reduced to 300, three days was still limited.

In order to save enough time to see the three hundred patients, Fang Qiu used all kinds of methods. In order to be more efficient, he even used the method of feeling the pulse with both hands.

It was the first time that people of the show had seen him feeling the pulse with both hands.

At that time, his PD, the cameraman, Director Li Huawen, and the other staff of the show were all taken aback.

Although they didn’t know much about Chinese Medicine, they started to get hold of it after recording eight episodes of the show. However, they had never seen a Chinese Medicine doctor who felt the pulse with both hands. They hadn’t even heard of it.

Would this work?

Despite the shock, no one dared to disturb Fang Qiu. They could only stand aside and watch.

As a result, they found that Fang Qiu’s speed of feeling the pulse with both hands was very fast, and the diagnosis result made by this method was extremely accurate without any error.

Director Li Huawen was even more surprised.

Of course, all of this was completely recorded by the camera.

At eight o’clock in the morning the next day, Chinese Medicine clinics across the country opened.

Except for Fang Qiu, the other nine contestants who were assigned to all over the country all put on masks according to the requirements of the program team, disguised themselves, and prepared for the consultation.

Because most of the contestants began to see patients at about three o’clock in the afternoon yesterday, they didn’t stop until ten o’clock in the evening. Everyone was so tired. But today, they got up early and began to see patients from eight o’clock. When they thought that they would have to see patients all day, at least twelve hours, they couldn’t help feeling exhausted.

“Are you tired?” Luo Jie’s PD asked Luo Jie while looking at him in the clinic.

Luo Jie replied, “It’s okay. I might be able to hold on today, but I’m not sure if I can do it tomorrow.”

At this moment, not only Luo Jie but all the other participants heard the same question from their PD and each of them gave a reply that was similar to Luo Jie’s.

“There’s a piece of news from the director. Do you want to hear it?”

The next moment, the nine PDs who received the news respectively asked each of the contestants that they were following.

Everyone wanted to listen.

“I received news from the director that Fang Qiu began to see patients at about three p.m. yesterday. He has been seeing patients for 17 consecutive hours and is still working now. Even when he needs to eat, he’s seeing patients while eating steamed buns.”

Hearing the news, Luo Jie was shocked.

Even the descendants of the four noble families, Gu Shaoyu, Leng Wenzhuo, Li Sanxiao, Chen Ziju, were all shocked.

The other contestants, Wang Shijie ranked the sixth, Yang Chenxiang ranked the eighth, and Lin Dan ranked the tenth among the top ten in the country, were also amazed when they heard the news. However, they also admired Fang Qiu at the same time.

The three of them were all from ordinary families. It was their own hard work that enabled them to make it this far.

Although they had made it to the top ten in the country, they never thought that they could be the champion. In their eyes, Fang Qiu was still an expert. It was rather difficult for them to surpass him.

Besides, when Fang Qiu did the live streaming to publicize his treatment method, he showed his incredible strength to the people once again.

With that kind of strength, how could there be someone stronger than him?

Except for this, as doctors of Chinese Medicine, they didn’t expect that Fang Qiu could see patients for 17 hours in a row. Not only did he have no time to eat, but he didn’t even sleep. What a towering Chinese Medicine doctor he was! How could they not worship him?

However, compared with the three people’s recognition of Fang Qiu, Luo Jie and the descendants of the four families frowned and were lost in thought.

Luo Jie asked, “Is that the rule of the ninth episode? Who see the most patients will be the winner?”

“I don’t know.” The PD shook his head and said, “I’m sure Fang Qiu doesn’t know either.”

“What’s Fang Qiu up to? Why is he so desperate to see so many patients?”

Leng Wenzhuo frowned and looked at her PD and asked, “I want to know if Fang Qiu knows the rules of this episode. If he knows, why can’t we know?”

The PD replied, “No one knows.”

The reactions of Gu Shaoyu, Li Sanxiao, and Chen Ziju were the same.

They were all wondering if Fang Qiu had learned the rules of this episode, so he worked so hard to see patients.

Among these nine people, the only girl except Leng Wenzhou, Jiang Miaoyu, was shocked as she heard the information given by the PD.

“17 hours?”

Jiang Miaoyu grabbed her PD and asked, “He didn’t sleep or eat? How can your guys do this?”

Jiang Miaoyu was worried. “This is not what the crew asked him to do. He insists on doing this.”

The PD was also very helpless. He knew the relationship between Jiang Miaoyu and Fang Qiu and could also see the deep worry on Jiang Miaoyu’s face. But this really had nothing to do with the show’s crew.

She then asked, “Can I call him? I want to ask him to take a rest. He will be worn out if he goes on like this.”

The PD shook his head and said, “No. The show has set the rule that no phone calls are allowed. You are isolated from the outside world in these three days.”

“But—” Jiang Miaoyu was more worried.

“Don’t worry.” The PD said hurriedly, “Fang Qiu knows what he’s doing. The staff is watching him and will definitely not let anything happen to him. If there’s anything wrong, I’ll receive the news as soon as possible. Besides, Fang Qiu is a doctor himself. How could he treat himself badly?”

Eventually, Jiang Miaoyu felt a little relieved after being convinced by her PD for a long time.

At the same time, in the case that no one could figure out the rules of the show, Fang Qiu’s desperate effort actually drove everyone to work harder. After the formal consultation began, everyone made every effort to see more patients.

In the Puji Clinic of Qimen Town, Fang Qiu was still seeing patients non-stop.

After 18, 19, 20 hours, he was still going on.

Fang Qiu actually saw patients for 24 hours in a row. He still didn’t get any sleep at all.
