The man in the white tank top put on his reflective construction vest and hard hat to indicate he had been in a construction accident. His march to the reception area was halted when Nolan indicated with a flick of his wrist that he should head with the crowd to the emergency room of he really did have such a accident. The worker cross his arms so his muscles bulged. Nolan felt confused and kept his cold stare until the man meekly sat down in a seat. The standing patients had all found seats now so none of them seemed irritated from standing. The ones with emergency had gone to the other department so his work was cut out for him with less people. 

"Good." Nolan said finally. He picked up the receiver. "Can whoever came here in the morning first please come forwards?  I can check the cctv camera is there is another bout of who is who."

Several voices began to speak at once claiming to have come from different entrances or various excuses. Nolan could feel a pounding beginning in his head. Fists rose up in opposition as several languages were spoken at once. 

"Do you want me to throw you all out?!" Forgetting his age, Nolan had a lot of experience dealing with large crowds due to standing sideline during his sister's Nascar races or in less reputable places where she had almost been mobbed to death by fans because of bad security.

I know you are all anxious to see Dr Wu but we have a limited number of patient rooms. I need there to be some sanity in this room." Nolan put his hand to his temple and rested his eyes as the pounding settled he opened his eyes to see the waiting crowd. "Today is the free consults day. It's a luxury to offer this type of service anywhere, is that understood? If you're rowdy or rude, neither I nor Dr Wu will be serving you today. No one is more deserving than anyone else to come in first. I have no qualms about losing patients today and I doubt the surgeon will either."

The patients waiting all looked thoroughly quiet. There was a collective nod that ran like a wave through the room. Nolan was glad that finally they all understood. 

He clicked a hospital issued pen and made a sign in sheet out of printer paper. "I'm not going to have you sign this as I know not everyone here may be able to write. But please say at what time you arrived, name and age, as well as health concern." Nolan raised his voice as he checked the time that the clinic opened. "Who has been waiting for more than four hours?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
