Chapter 792 - Crazy black medicine (1/2)
Ren Xiaosu initially thought they would follow the Trinity Institute convoy and head straight to the Kong Consortium.
But to his surprise, this group of people actually stopped at the town outside the stronghold.
When Wang Jing got out of the vehicle with Liang Ce’s help, the townspeople greeted him one after another. Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin looked at each other. All of the refugees here actually addressed Wang Jing as “Elder Wang” when they saw him.
Following, the group unloaded the folding tables and chairs from the vehicles at the back. Then all of them put on their white coats and equipped themselves with stethoscopes.
Ren Xiaosu was dumbfounded by the sight. He went up to Meng Nan and asked, “Ms. Meng Nan, may I ask what’s happening here?”
However, Meng Nan was stunned by his question. “You’re also a member of the medical system. Don’t you know it’s the usual practice for us to head outside to give treatment to the refugees?”
“Oh, I know that. But I’ve never participated in one before, so I was a little lost,” Ren Xiaosu said.
A middle-aged man in the group came over to shake Ren Xiaosu’s hand and said politely, “Hi, my name is Sima Gang. I’m in charge of today’s outdoor consultation. If you encounter any difficulties, you can let me know.”
With that, Sima Gang led Ren Xiaosu over to an empty table. “This is where you’ll be sitting. Just shout for me anytime if you need help.”
Only then did Ren Xiaosu realize it was not only these people who needed to attend to the refugees, even he was required to do so. Meanwhile, the medical interns, Meng Nan and Liang Ce, would be assigned to carry out the basic chores.
Wang Jing stood in front of them and said, “I know this is the first time some of you are participating in such activities. The refugees are not dressed as cleanly as you all, nor do they have enough water to take a shower every day. So, if any of you feel any mental discomfort, please control yourselves. As doctors, it’s our duty to treat and save people.”
Liang Ce looked like he was boiling with excitement. “Yes, sir!”
The refugees in town had already formed a long line. Wang Jing took the lead and sat down behind a table while Liang Ce ushered the refugees to the doctors’ tables one by one.
Many of the refugees had old injuries from when they were working in the factories. It was just like Ren Xiaosu when he was living back in Stronghold 113’s town. The refugees did not have any money to see a doctor, so they could only delay treatment. Sometimes, even a fingernail-sized wound could end up festering and become infected, leading to the refugees losing their lives.
During the consultation, Wang Jing looked around at the others. When he saw the doctors he brought along for this exchange did not despise the patients, he finally felt relieved.
But what surprised him a little was that the young man who drove that luxury off-road vehicle did not seem to despise the filth and smell of the refugees at all.
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin was sleeping in the vehicle with her pistol within reach. It seemed that every time she came out into the wilderness, she would immediately enter a completely tense state of alert.
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu could only stare blankly at the refugees in front of him. The other doctors were busily attending to the patients at their tables one after another, but the patients on his side were totally stuck!
Ren Xiaosu was completely speechless inside. How could he possibly know anything about attending to patients?! Treating their external injuries would not have been a problem. But as this was only a voluntary consultation at the moment, surely he couldn’t resort to using the black medicine just to put on an act, right? That would be too great of a price to pay!
“Doctor, my heart has been beating very fast recently. What’s wrong with me?” a refugee asked.
Ren Xiaosu hesitated for a while before saying, “Could it be a guilty conscience?”
The refugee sitting across him turned anxious. “Are you here to attend to patients or accuse people?”
“Haha, I was just kidding. Calm down!” Ren Xiaosu said, “Actually, you’re not sick at all. You’re probably just too tired from work and got a little flustered, but you’ll be fine after resting.”
The refugee asked, “Should I avoid any types of food then?”
