Chapter 1374 - 860: The Heart Can't Eat Hot Tofu in a Hurry

The topic of repayment is quite distant for Dean Tian, and she doesn't really need any repayment now.

Therefore, what Du Heng can do is to ensure he meets Dean Tian's introduction as much as possible, so she doesn't feel embarrassed for introducing him.

In the end, Du Heng readily accepted Dean Tian's invitation to visit her hospital and department.

But it's not to attend a so-called class, but to exchange and learn.

However, before going, Du Heng had to speak with Director Wu in the capital to explain his situation.

Receiving the call, Director Wu, of course, didn't intend to make things difficult for Du Heng. He readily agreed, acknowledged it, and after encouraging Du Heng to perform well, he hung up the phone.

Early the next morning, after getting ready, Du Heng headed to the hospital where Dean Tian was based.

In theory, the doctors in a big hospital here in Yangcheng have more exposure and a more open mindset compared to those in Jinzhou.

But upon reaching the destination and meeting Dean Tian, after introducing himself and preparing to do a ward round with her, Du Heng faintly sensed that, except for the department director maintaining a bit of courtesy, the people following Dean Tian didn't seem to welcome him warmly.

Especially on the way to the hospital room, these people kept a fixed distance from him, creating a small vacuum space around him.

Had they been misled by traditional Chinese medicine before?

Or do they just have their own views on traditional Chinese medicine?

Or is their attitude directed specifically toward him?

However, after glancing around, Du Heng calmly followed Dean Tian into the hospital room.

To be honest, if faced with such an attitude three years ago, he might have been a bit sensitive, overthinking for a while.

But now, haha, he has seen so much that it doesn't surprise him anymore.

Regardless of whether they have opinions on traditional Chinese medicine or thoughts about him, he just needs to do his own job well.

Just then, they arrived at the hospital room's door. Dean Tian and the department director stopped at the same time, inviting Du Heng to enter with them.

Du Heng didn't hesitate and stepped in together with them, directly standing at the front.

This action by Du Heng made the few deputy directors who entered with them look very displeased.

"A nobody, daring to inspect our department's hospital room, and even standing boldly in front of us, truly uneducated."

"Even the old men in our hospital's Chinese Medicine Department don't dare to stand in front of us, why should this youngster act so arrogantly?"

"Heard a few compliments and now doesn't know who he is."

"Lin, Fan, you both should stop, we just waited for him for two minutes, no need to disparage him like this."

A person behind suddenly intervened, "Even though this guy is indeed a bit rude, I don't believe you don't know who this person is?"

"Hmph, just a kid, you don't really think he accomplished those things by himself, do you?"

"Whether he did or not, you must know in your heart." The speaker suddenly nodded slightly forward, "Let's go in, the director is looking over."

They looked up to see the slightly lagging director glancing at them intentionally or otherwise.

Alright, let's go in.

"How did you sleep last night?" Dean Tian didn't concern herself with the situation behind and directly addressed the patient in the first bed upon entering.

The patient, a male who seemed quite old, exhibited a lethargic demeanor.

Upon hearing Dean Tian's words, the patient's face showed pain as he opened his eyes and said, "Much better than a few days ago, dozed off from a bit past three until six in the morning."

"Has the pain in your body gotten better?"

"It has improved, not as painful as before." The old man gently moved the wrinkles on his face, appearing slightly uncomfortable as he spoke, "It's not as painful as before, but there's an indescribable discomfort all over.

Breathing feels as if only half a breath gets through, chest feels tight."

As Dean Tian listened to the old man's account, she picked up the inspection sheet from the bedside to read it.

During this process, Du Heng was a bit curious, shouldn't these questions be answered by the attending doctor?

Just when Du Heng was curious, Dean Tian finished reading the inspection sheet and returned it to the patient's bedside, "Just like the previous times, various indicators are starting to recover slowly.

Don't rush, recovery takes time, so feeling a bit uncomfortable is normal."

After saying this, Dean Tian paused slightly, then pointed at Du Heng and said to the patient, "This is a traditional Chinese medicine expert I invited from the capital, who is also the Deputy Chief Physician of the Capital Good Friend Hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, the Deputy Director of the Capital Acupuncture Research Institute, and the national key project leader.

Your condition is quite complicated, as you know, what we can do now is stabilize your condition, but to say a complete cure is too difficult.

Just as it happens, Doctor Du is available today, let's have him take a look, and see if traditional Chinese medicine can make you feel a bit easier."

People in our country place significant importance on age in medical matters, this is true not only for traditional Chinese medicine but also for modern medicine as well.
