596 The Decoction Was Effective (1/2)
Professor Wu was capable and held a high social status. Everything about him made people admire and envy him. Professor Wu was no longer young, but he was dedicated and focused on this work. He impressed every other doctor.
It was no surprise for a person like Professor Wu to be successful. He didn't become a professor overnight. He had always worked hard. A person required both gift and hard work to be a high achiever.
On the other hand, these doctors had a stable job with a good salary. Slowly, they lost the motivation to achieve more.
It was not good for people to stay in their comfortable zone for too long. An easy and comfortable life would make people lose their motivation and ambition.
It was a bit cold at night. Wang Yao looked up at the sky on Nanshan Hill.
I wonder how Professor Wu is doing with the test?
Meanwhile, in Lianshan People's hospital, Professor Wu continued his test.
”Teacher, please take a break. We can do these things for you,” a young assistant said.
”Yeah, you are already tired after the trip. It's 10 p.m.. You should go rest,” another assistant said.
”I'm fine,” Professor Wu said as he shook his hand.
The second bottle of decoction was in use. The effect was obvious.
What exactly is inside?
Professor Wu was not the only person who had questions. Every doctor in the hospital had the same query. However, they thought the decoction was brought by Professor Wu from Beijing.
The doctors thought, Specialists from Beijing are really different! Their contempt and resistance to Professor Wu disappeared. This world was ruled by facts and capability.
Professor Wu didn't leave until it was nearly midnight.
”Give the decoction to the patient four hours later, and make sure you document every detail,” Professor Wu said.
”Sure,” an assistant said.
He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. However, he stumbled and almost fell since his legs were a bit numb.
”Professor!” His assistant held his arm. ”Are you alright?”
”I'm fine. My legs are a bit numb,” Professor Wu said.
”Let me give you a massage.” His assistant squatted down.
”I'm fine. I just need to walk a bit.” He walked back and forth twice in the corridor of the hospital and felt better afterward. He then went to rest in the place arranged by Lianshan People's Hospital.
He was truly tired. After all, he was nearly 60 years old. It was a long trip for him from Beijing to Lianshan. He didn't take any breaks after he had arrived at the hospital. He started to observe and treat the patients right away. Finally, the patients started to get better. Once he stopped working, he felt exhausted.
I'm really getting old! Professor Wu sighed.
He didn't fall to sleep immediately while lying on the bed. He was thinking about Wang Yao and his decoctions.
How did he make it? Or, does the disease have something to do with him? The latter made Professor Wu frown. If that is the case, what could I do? That young man would be a really horrible person.
He gradually fell asleep as he was thinking.
Meanwhile, his assistants were still in the observation room.
”Where do you think the decoctions are from?” one of the assistants asked.
”How am I supposed to know?” the other assistant said.
The two were talking in low voice. They had been following Professor Wu for years.
”The decoctions worked. Do you think the professor is hiding something from us?” one of the assistants asked.
”So what? Does he have to tell us everything?” the other assistant replied.
”That is not what I mean,” the first assistant said.
The sun rose early the next morning. It was March. The trees started to turn green, and the flowers started to turn red.
Professor Wu got up early and arrived at the observation room before 6 a.m.
His two assistants had been observing the patient. One fell asleep at the table. He looked exhausted.
”Hey, the professor is here!” The other assistant pushed the one who was sleeping.
”Just leave him there,” Professor Wu said.
”Professor!” The asleep young man suddenly woke up.
”How is the patient?” Professor Wu asked.
”He is stable. We gave him the second bottle of decoction,” one of the assistants said.
Professor Wu checked the notes made by his assistants while he was away. He read through the notes over and over again to make sure everything was fine. He then entered the isolated room.
Lianshan People's Hospital was small. The so-called isolated room was not strictly isolated.
The patient, a middle-aged man, was lying on the bed. He had vomited occasionally the whole night, so he felt very weak and uncomfortable.
”How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Professor Wu asked.
”I feel uncomfortable everywhere,” the patient said.
”Can you go into details? Try to describe your feelings,” Professor Wu said.
”I feel weak and nauseous, and I have a headache. Actually, every part of my body aches,” the patient said.
His face was wax yellow.
”He needs nutrition,” Professor Wu said.
”OK,” his assistant said.
After Professor Wu and his assistant left the isolated room, the other doctors from the hospital gradually came to work. They were all very happy. The patient's condition made them hopeful.
