14 Invitation (1/2)
After the surgery was complete, the fatty Li Liang who had also been in the operating room had sparkles in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Fan. This was a living highly skilled doctor right before him!
Li Liang ran a few steps in order to catch up to Zhang Fan. ”You've been standing for so long already. I have some good tea that I'll prepare for you. You should take a good rest. Just tell me about what you want written in the medical report. I'll type it up for you on the medical computer.”
”Don't worry about the tea, since I don't know anything about tea and won't be able to tell if it's good or not. But if you're willing to type up the medical report for me, sure. Come back to my office and we can do it together.” Everybody loved a good sycophant. Meanwhile, Yang Chengming rolled his eyes and ignored them.
After finishing the medical report together, Chen Qifa came up to Zhang Fan, and secretly whispered, ”Doctor Zhang, you're doing all these surgeries, yet still record all of these patients as mine. How about I give you half of my medical equipment commission? Otherwise, I'll feel too embarrassed to keep accepting this.”
”Doctor Chen, no need to be so reserved with me. I know that your child is still in high school, so you must have great financial pressure from the tuition. We can still continue as we always have been.” Actually, Zhang Fan felt like his heart was dripping blood as he refused this money.
Zhang Fan was also really poor. However, he could only spend this money on cultivating a good relationship with Chen Qifa. Otherwise, if Chen Qifa was angered again for some reason and didn't do his work properly, Zhang Fan wouldn't have even a single surgical assistant. Vice Director Shi Lei was a brain surgeon, so orthopedic surgery wasn't his specialty. Plus, with how lazy Shi Lei was, he definitely wouldn't be willing to come help every day. Shi Lei was also the type who only cared about rising in position without worrying too much about improving his actual skills.
As the older nurses constantly came over to Zhang Fan for massages more and more often, Zhang Fan gradually became well known within Kuake City.
”My back really hurts. I think I'll go visit the Chinese medicine doctor this weekend.” Some middle-aged women from the Kuake City Communist Party Committee were currently chatting with each other.
”Why go to a Chinese medicine doctor? While the acupuncture may feel really good, your back always hurts again right after.”
”Still, isn't it better than no treatment?” The middle-aged women in the Kuake City Party Communist Committee either had husbands in governmental positions or other powerful relatives. At any rate, they basically had empty job titles, so all they did every day was chat with each other.
”Stop visiting the Chinese medicine doctor. My niece had bad problems with back pain to the point where her legs were going numb and she could barely walk. Then, a young doctor from the hospital she was working at gave her some massages for several days in a row. Guess what, she can now walk just like normal again!”
”That wouldn't be a certain type of massage on the bed, now would it? Haha…”
”You're going into heat again! Be careful that your husband won't beat that mouth of yours!” They were going off topic. These government official wives basically all had no sex lives with their husbands, so they could only have some fun with chatting.
”What's that doctor named? I'll go visit him after I clock out.” The woman who had back pains decided to try seeing him.
Unless a person had a severe condition like herniated nucleus pulposus, Zhang Fan's massages were able to effectively treat everyone with back pain. Gradually, more and more people started coming to Zhang Fan for back pain problems.
Kang Hua, the female head politician of Kuake City who was also the head of the Bureau of Culture, Education, and Health, had originally been a teacher. Back when she was still a teacher, she had strained her back. After she became a government official, she constantly participated in meetings, and her back pain often gave her trouble. She could only rely on some painkillers as a temporary stopgap measure. She had already been to several hospitals for treating her back pain, but the treatment she received would always be only temporarily effective.
Over the past few days, she kept hearing about her subordinates discussing how amazingly skilled a certain doctor in Kuake City Hospital was at relieving back pain with his massages. Since she was the head politician of Kuake City, seeing a specific doctor would be as simple as a phone call for her.
”Little Zhang, Superintendent Batu has a phone call for you.” Head nurse Guli was now Zhang Fan's #1 fan. She treated him incredibly well. As she put it, ”if only I was twenty years younger, I would definitely get married to Zhang Fan and have his children!”
”Do you still remember the female politician that previously came to the welcoming party for new students? She has back pains, and she called for you to go over and treat her. I'll be taking you over to her later this afternoon. If you have no emergency surgeries that come in this afternoon, you don't even need to go to the hospital. I'll take you to the government office right after your lunch break,” Superintendent Batu told Zhang Fan.
”Okay.”
”When treating a politician, you absolutely need to watch your mouth. Don't immediately say if you can or can't treat her, and don't tell anyone that you're treating a politician.”
”I know.”
”Wear something proper. There's lint on your shirt collar.” Batu suddenly noticed that Zhang Fan's clothing was rather worn.
