Chapter 371 - You Dont Deserve to Be a Doctor (1/2)

Qin Haodong led the way with a pot, followed by white-haired Hua Zi’an, who gasped, “Wait for me, buddy.”

The old man’s eyes were burning with astonishment, because he had just seen Qin Haodong’s amazing way to cook herbs. It was supposed to take 40 minutes to boil a pot of medicine, but Qin Haodong made it in less than 10 minutes, which was a real eye-opener to him. Of course he wanted to come and see the effect of the Pulse-warming and Heart-nourishing Soup.

As he glanced at the red light above the operating room’s door, Qin Haodong’s face darkened. “Has the operation started?” He asked.

“We have no choice. Feng Zixiong’s condition suddenly deteriorated two minutes ago, so the operation was advanced.”

“Two minutes ago? There’s still time. I’ll get the medicine in now and give it to the patient.”

Then he tried to enter the operating room.

“I’ll do it, buddy,” offered Hua Zi’an. “Given the way Lu Fei behaves, he certainly won’t let you give medicine to a patient on his operating table. And you’re new here, and you can’t get in without a work badge.”

After working in this hospital for so many years, he had been constantly fighting with Lu Fei, so he naturally knew what the man was like. If he tried to give the patient the Pulse-warming and Heart-nourishing Soup before the operation, it would be no problem, but Lu Fei could never allow Qin Haodong to give the wounded traditional Chinese medicine on his operating table.

Qin Haodong thought about it. Since he came to the hospital undercover, he’d better keep a low profile. So he handed the medicine pot to Hua Zi’an.

“Senior Hua, thank you for your help!”

Hua Zi’an nodded, took the medicine pot, and scratched the operating room door with his badge. With a tick, the gate opened and Hua Zi’an entered.

In the operating room, the doctors and nurses were all busy, and the operation was going on tensely.

Hua Zi’an cast a glance at the heart monitor next to him and his face changed. Although he was a Chinese medicine practitioner, he knew the basics of western medicine. The curve of the heart’s beating on the screen had almost become a straight line, meaning that it was so weak that it could stop beating at any moment.

Assistant Fang Yuqi said, “Doctor Lu, the patient’s condition is too dangerous now. We probably won’t be able to save him.”

Lu Fei said, “Never mind that. We have to get the operation done anyway. There’s no other choice even if we fail to save him.”

Then he told the doctors and nurses around him to get ready to remove the dagger from Feng Zixiong’s chest.

Fang Yuqi didn’t say anything. After all surgeons like them were used to death. Although they would try their best to save every life in the operation, they would not have too big waves in the heart if they could not save the patient back.

The patient’s heart would stop beating at any moment. In this case, perhaps the moment the dagger was drawn, the wounded man would lose his life.

“Wait a minute. Give him the medicine first.”

Hua Zi’an said as he opened the medicine pot. A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine immediately filled the operating room.

At the cry, Lu Fei drew back his hand from the dagger, looked back and snapped, “Hua Zi’an, are you mad? This is the surgical operating room. What are you doing in here? Get out of here at once with your soup made of roots and rotten bark.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Zi’an glared and snarled, “You are ignorant of the history of our country. Your ancestors lived on roots and bark. Traditional Chinese medicine is the treasure of our ancestors. You can worship foreign countries, but you can’t belittle traditional Chinese medicine. That’s as cold-blooded as a wolf.”

“Who are you talking about, old man?”

Lu Fei dropped the scalpel and growled angrily at Hua Zi’an. He seemed to want to argue with Senior Hua at close range, but was held back by Fang Yuqi next to him.

Although Hua Zi’an was over 70 years old and had white hair, he was not afraid of Lu Fei. “Doctor Lu, have you forgotten what a doctor is? Now the patient is lying on the bed. In any case, both Chinese medicine practitioners and western doctors should think of the patient in the first place,” he shouted in a cold voice.

He raised his hand to the line, which almost stopped, on the heart monitor next to him. “You see what’s happening. The injured could die at any moment. Doctor Lu, if you’re sure you can save him, I’m sure I won’t say anything, and I’ll apologize right away.”

“But you can’t think of a good way to save him right now. Would you rather risk someone else’s life than try traditional Chinese medicine? You are selfish.”

“This is my operating table. It’s up to me how to treat the patient. I wouldn’t let my patient drink Chinese medicine anyway,” Lu Fei stated in a cold voice.

Hua Zi’an said angrily, “You’re risking the life of the wounded. This is murder. Have you forgotten that you are a doctor?”

Lu Fei sneered, “You say it’s murder? Well, there are so many cops out there, ask them to arrest me!”

“Lu Fei, where’s your medical ethics?” Cried Hua Zi’an, his eyes red with anger. “In your eyes, this patient is just a life ready to die. Have you thought about his family? Have you thought about his parents and children? Did it ever occur to you that one wrong decision could destroy several families?”

The look on Lu Fei’s face paused, but he persisted, “You talk too much nonsense, Hua Zi’an. Get out of here! Don’t interfere with my operation.”

“No, I can’t let such a life go. I’ll give him the medicine myself.”

Hua Zi’an said, striding over to the operating table with the medicine pot.

“Stop it, Hua Zi’an!”

Lu Fei shouted and tried to stop Hua Zi’an, but Fang Yuqi stopped him.

“Doctor Lu, we have no better way now. I think we can let Senior Hua have a try.”
