The news that Fang Qiu had been seeing patients for a day and a night quickly spread out.
Of course, the first ones to know about it were the local citizens of Jiangjing.
Learning that Fang Qiu had been seeing patients for 24 hours in a row, the local citizens of Jiangjing couldn’t help praising him.
“Fang Qiu is a rare good doctor today.”
“Yes, Dr. Xiao Fang has both good moral quality and medical skills. He’s exceptional.”
“I heard that Dr. Xiao Fang has just turned 18. Will his health hold up?”
“He’s a doctor after all. He won’t do anything to hurt himself, will he?”
“Don’t forget that Fang Qiu has been practicing Qi for so many years, and his physical quality is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He just worked all night, and definitely, he’s able to hold up.”
“It makes sense. Since he’s a pro at using Qi, working overnight is surely not a big problem for him. If anything goes wrong, he can cure himself.”
Fang Qiu had been seeing patients in the hospital for the whole night.
When the next patient went to the bathroom, a nurse on the new shift handed Fang Qiu a bottle of porridge she had bought from the outside.
Fang Qiu took the opportunity to grab some.
After the patient came in, he continued to see patients.
Xu Miaolin was also in his own consulting room not far away, reading a medical book quietly.
He didn’t sleep the whole night and had been secretly accompanying his only student.
He knew that the real danger was not in these three days.
It would come in three days.
But even so, he didn’t dare to relax at all during these three days.
In the hospital, doctors came and left.
They went to the office and then got off work.
However, Fang Qiu was still working there, without a moment’s pause.
“It’s been a day and a half.”
“I’ve heard that he hasn’t had a rest. He’s really powerful.”
“Yeah, it’s been almost 34 hours since he began to work.”
“Can a person be so energetic? He’s nothing but 18 years old. Won’t his mind confused?”
Everyone was curious.
Although Fang Qiu was quite young and tough, he didn’t simply stay up late. While he did so, he had to diagnose and treat patients during the 34 hours.
These were the most exhausting and nerve-racking things.
Just as everyone was in a state of shock, a nurse rubbed her temples and walked over. She seemed to have just gotten changed and was ready to go home from work.
“Hey, wait.”
Everyone immediately stopped the nurse.
“What’s wrong?”
The nurse was stunned.
“You just got off work?” asked a doctor.
“Yes.”
The nurse nodded and said, “I’m so busy that I have a headache.”
“Hey, it’s been 34 hours. Is Fang Qiu still seeing patients?” The doctor continued to ask.
“Yes. The patients are still waiting in line,” the nurse answered.
“Well,” the doctor shook his head and added, “I mean, did Fang Qiu make a mistake since he might not be able to keep his mind clear after seeing patients for such a long time? After all, no one can remain sober-minded after reading a book for more than 30 hours, let alone seeing patients.”
“No, he didn’t,” the nurse was taken aback and continued, “Doctor Fang Qiu is in good spirits. He doesn’t look exhausted at all, and he diagnoses patients very quickly and accurately.”
Upon hearing these words, the doctors who had just got off work were startled.
“Holy crap, is he that impressive?”
“He’s still clear-headed after seeing patients for more than 30 hours. Damn it, is he still a human?”
“If I had been seeing patients for so long, I would have had a splitting headache.”
“There’s nothing we can do. We’re all ordinary people, but Fang Qiu has practiced Qi. He’s different from us.”
“Fang Qiu is a bad*ss! Qi is even more incredible!”
It was another night in the blink of an eye.
Fang Qiu had seen more than 700 patients in a row in two whole days and one night, and more than half of the internal Qi inside him had been consumed.
He still continued to work even in this situation.
On the other side, the leaders of the hospital were so anxious that they almost went crazy.
In the conference room:
In the leader’s seat, Director Zhang Qishun asked, “Who’s going to persuade Fang Qiu?”
As soon as he said that, all those in the conference room turned their heads in unison to look at Xu Miaolin, who was specially called over.
Sensing everyone’s gaze, Xu Miaolin pursed his lips and said, “He has his own ideas and will stop when he thinks it’s not appropriate.”
“Xu, I’m afraid he can’t hold up.”
Zhang Qishun smiled bitterly and added, “No matter how young he is, he just can’t mess with his body like that.”
“It’s something only young people can do,” Xu Miaolin continued with a smile, “anyway, I won’t go!”
“Who else?”
Zhang Qishun shook his head and asked, “Who’s going to stop Fang Qiu?”
“Here’s my suggestion.”
Xu Miaolin stood up, looked at Zhang Qishun, and then glanced at everyone present, saying, “Believe him!”
Everyone kept silent, and no one expressed their opinions.
“As his teacher, I trust him.”
Xu Miaolin left behind a few words and stepped out of the conference room.
The leaders of the hospital had no choice but to believe in Fang Qiu in the end.
The treatment was still going on.
The road outside the hospital had been blocked for two days.
Nonetheless, more and more people gathered.
People all over the country had learned how powerful Fang Qiu was from the Internet, so in the past two days, a large number of people swarmed here to register with Fang Qiu from other places.
Another night passed in the twinkling of an eye.
It had been two days and two nights in total.
A total of 48 hours!
Countless netizens who had been following this matter gradually became numb after the initial shock.
They started to follow it because they wondered how great Fang Qiu’s medical skills were and how many diseases he could cure.
They had seen videos of interviews online over the past two days.
They all praised Fang Qiu’s medical skills and treated him as a miracle-working doctor.
Was there a need to question Fang Qiu’s medical skills?
No.
There was no need and no one dared to question them at all!
Such being the case, everyone’s concern gradually shifted. They began to wonder if there would be an accident or major incident because there were so many people waiting in line for Fang Qiu’s medical treatments.
Nothing happened over the past two days and two nights.
The Jiangjing Chinese Medicine Hospital ensured all the netizens with their strict security and rules that no accident could ever happen!
After that, the netizens could only refocus on Fang Qiu.
“How long on earth can Fang Qiu work?”
“When he participated in the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, though he had seen patients for three days and three nights, he had taken a break in the process. Although he only rested for an hour or two, he did take a rest after all. However, he hasn’t had a minute’s rest, and he has to face so many complicated and serious illnesses this time. I have no idea how long he can hold up.”
“Yeah, in that episode, the patients were only limited to villagers near Qimen Town. Furthermore, not many seriously ill people were willing to travel thousands of miles to seek treatments from Fang Qiu, and no one expected him to cure terminal diseases back then. As a result, none of the diseases Fang Qiu treated at that time were too difficult, at least compared to those in these days.”
“In the last few days, Fang Qiu has encountered either terminal diseases or all kinds of diseases that are beyond the current medical treatment. It’s not simple for him, either.”
“It’s really nice of Fang Qiu to make it this far.”
“These patients are truly blessed to have a doctor like Fang Qiu.”
In the hospital, neither Fang Qiu nor the patients stopped.
As time went by, more and more patients were cured by Fang Qiu.
It was not until they witnessed Fang Qiu’s magical medical skills with their own eyes that they truly realized how powerful the “Qi” in Chinese Medicine was because Fang Qiu had been working with Qi throughout the process!
On the other side:
Many people in the Chinese Medicine circle paid attention to Fang Qiu from the beginning.
Fang Qiu’s current status in the Chinese Medicine field was like that of a top star in the entertainment circle. Wherever he went, he would attract the attention of almost everyone in the circle.
“Such medical ethics are truly impressive. The younger generation will surpass the older.”
“The younger generation of Chinese Medicine is more powerful than our generation.”
“He has great medical ethics at such a young age. Traditional Chinese medicine will be very promising in the future!”
Many elders in the Chinese Medicine circle praised Fang Qiu’s performance.
It didn’t occur to them that Fang Qiu could do this for the sake of curing the sick.
In the eyes of these Chinese Medicine practitioners, Fang Qiu’s medical ethics were even rarer than the one billion he donated!
At the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine in the girls’ dormitory:
“Fool, how can you not sleep and eat?”
Learning the news from the Internet that Fang Qiu hadn’t slept for two days and two nights and had eaten very little, Jiang Miaoyu couldn’t help but worry and said, “If it goes on like this, he’ll wear himself out!
“No, I have to bring him something to eat.”
She acted as soon as she had the idea.
Without any delay, she stood up, ready to leave.
“Hey, Miaoyu.”
Wang Yu hurriedly stopped her and asked, “Aren’t you afraid to expose your relationship with him and draw criticism to him if you’re going to bring him some food at this sensitive moment?”
“That’s right.”
Huang Manman chimed in, “Not only will it open him up to criticism, but you’ll become a topic of idle gossip by then.”
“I’m not afraid.”
Before the stunning Yuan Bei could speak, Jiang Miaoyu took the initiative to say, “I’m only worried about his health now. I’m not in the mood to care about anything else.”
She trotted straight out of the dormitory after she finished.
Then she went out of school, heading to the market to buy ingredients. After that, she went back to school and made herbal cuisine with the help of the kitchen utensils from the canteen.
She packed the food and was about to set off for Jiangjing Chinese Medicine Hospital.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Jiang Miaoyu’s cell phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and took a look.
It was from Chu Yunyun.
“Teacher.”
Jiang Miaoyu instantly answered the phone.
“I heard that you want to visit Fang Qiu.”
Chu Yunyun’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“Yes.”
Jiang Miaoyu nodded.
“I just talked to your Senior Uncle Master Xu on the phone. He asked me to tell you something.”
Chu Yunyun paused for a short while and continued, “Leave everything to Fang Qiu at this moment. He knows what he should do.”
“But,” Jiang Miaoyu understood what Chu Yunyun meant and immediately added, “I’m worried about him.”
“Silly girl, it’ll do him good if you don’t bother him at this juncture.”
Chu Yunyun explained softly, “You might upset his plans by going now. Moreover, he’s so absorbed in seeing patients now that he’s sure to be distracted when you go. It’s a challenging task for him to concentrate when he’s distracted under such intense working conditions.”
Hearing this, Jiang Miaoyu frowned, bit her lips as worry clouded her face, and said, “Well, okay.”
Chu Yunyun was right.
Jiang Miaoyu had no choice but to suppress the worry inside her after understanding that.
Jiang Mengjie was the same in the distance. She was worried about Fang Qiu all the time, but she couldn’t do anything. The only thing she could do was pay attention to him silently.
