Chapter 47 (2/2)
”Fang Qiu does have become a doctor?”
”A freshman has become a doctor working in a hospital?”
Jiang Miaoyu stood rooted to the spot. This news had quite an impact on her.
After the last incident in the morning, she could tell Fang Qiu had loads of secrets.
But now, she suddenly realized that compared to the news about him being a doctor, all the rest of the potential secrets she could think of were nothing startling at all.
On a whim, she wanted to make a phone call to Fang Qiu.
But just as she touched her phone, she froze.
”What reason do I have to make this phone call?”
”To say I'm curious? Or congratulations?
”If this happened before the 'Start-of-Term Gift' incident, I might use either of the two. But now, it seems that neither of them is proper...”
On the other side of the story.
All of a sudden, a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people in ordinary clothes appeared in the lobby of the emergency department building. All of them were waiting in a line to register for orthopedics.
”Dr. Xiao Fang is not a specialist. Everyone, you can just make ordinary registrations!”
The old man taking the lead among the crowd was precisely Fang Qiu's first patient.
”Mr. Jia, is that Dr. Xiao Fang really so amazing as you told us?”
A middle-aged man in the line asked, ”I was in the middle of driving my cab when you called me here. Aren't you holding me up from making money?”
”Get away! I'm saving your life! If you miss this today, who knows when you can still see Dr. Xiao Fang. I've asked the staff, he only works one afternoon a week. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait for another week with your stubborn backache!”
Mr. Jia rounded his eyes and growled.
”Fine, I believe in you, Mr. Jia. I'll see the doctor here. Mr. Jia, I think you might consider being a hospital scalper. You'll definitely be the best one!”
The middle-aged driver made a joke.
The other middle-aged men who came along with him also burst into laughter.
At this scene, other people at the registration windows were muddled.
”How come there are people coming to see a doctor in groups?”
”And who is that Dr. Xiao Fang?”
”He sounds very impressive.”
”Whatsoever, I'll just remember this name, perhaps it will come in handy later!”
The staff in charge of the registration were all petrified to see this.
Never had they seen the whole line was here to register for orthopedics.
And all of them were middle-aged and elderly men.
”Are they here to stir up trouble?”
”But I've never heard any troublemaker need a registration.”
”Could it be that the troublemakers nowadays are all well cultivated?”
In spite of their curiosity, the staff still did the registration for everyone.
Then, this cluster of patients squeezed into an elevator together and went to the seventh floor.
Their destination was the orthopedics department!
Their target was Dr. Xiao Fang!
After arriving at the waiting area, each of them handed their medical record to a nurse, and then took their seats, waiting to be called.
”Li Jianjun.”
The nurse called out.
Someone among those in the waiting area instantly shouted, ”Here.”
He was eaxctly the cab driver who bickered with Mr. Jia in the registration lobby.
Li Jianjun, the driver, went up to the nurse and was led into a consulting room, with Mr. Jia scurrying in his wake.
”Nurse, excuse me, I want to know if the doctor who is going to treat him is Dr.Fang.”
Mr. Jia asked.
”Dr. Xiao Fang?”
”Never heard of such a guy, did I?”
The nurse shook her head and replied, ”No, it's the attending physician, Dr. Wang.”
At this, Li Jianjun clarified edgily, ”I'm not here for Dr. Wang. I'm here for Dr. Xiao Fang. I specially made this visit to him.”
”Dr. Xiao Fang? I don't think we have a doctor surnamed Fang in our department.”
The nurse answered with confusion, her brows furrowed a bit.
”You have, you have.”
Mr. Jia hurriedly declared, ”Just now, it was Dr. Xiao Fang who handled my case.”
Now, this nurse was utterly mystified. ”I do know all the doctors in orthopedics.”
”But since when do we have a Dr. Xiao Fang?”
At this point, a man passed by her. The nursed hastily called his name and asked, ”Senior Cao, do you know any doctor here surnamed Fang?”
The one she stopped was precisely Cao Ze.
”A doctor surnamed Fang?”
Cao Ze was also at a loss.
Before he could react, Mr. Jia already pointed at him and yelled spiritedly, ”Just now, it was he who took me to Dr.Fang!”
At those words, Cao Ze looked up at Mr. Jia and immediately remembered who he was.
He finally knew the identity of this Dr.Fang.
It was Fang Qiu!
”Now he has got him a regular patient?”
”And that patient is going to introduce new patients to him?”
Cao Ze was truly stunned.
”Is Fang Qiu's treatment so good that his patient is convinced by his skills and even starts to introduce other patients to him?”
”Senior Cao, we truly have a doctor surnamed Fang in our department. But why do I know nothing?”
Asked the nurse with interest.
Cao Ze gave a hollow laugh and said, ” It's the assistant physician specially employed by our department. This is his first day here. You can leave the two patients to me. I'll take them to him.”
As he spoke, he led the two set off for Fang Qiu's consulting room.
”Specially employed?”
Now, the nurse was intrigued. She tagged along behind the three, attempting to have a peek at the man who got in their orthopedics department through special recruit.
At the door of the consulting room, Mr. Jia saw Fang Qiu reading in the room. He quickly announced in a cheerful tone, ”Dr. Xiao Fang, I brought you some new patients. When I told them you cured me, they all scrambled to come to you.”
”Come on in, come on in.”
Fang Qiu immediately put down his book and got to his feet.
A moment ago, he was fretted over the lack of patients he could handle, which meant he would not reach the Friendly Realm in a short spell. But now, more patients were coming to him.
There was no reason to not welcome them.
Standing outside, the nurse went speechless as she heard their conversations.
”Look at them. Those who know the truth can understand that they're just seeing a doctor. But those who don't will certainly assume that this is a regular customer of a restaurant trying to attract new customers for the host!”
”How come there are patient rolling logs for their doctor?”
”This is something I've never heard of before!”
