The Martial Doctor-Chapter 112 - 109: Fame Spreads Through Xiuyue Square
The news that Lin Miao cured a little boy who developed "rabies symptoms" after being bitten by a dog spread through Xiuyue Square like a gale-force wind.
This wind continued to blow through other districts in the city.
Although the strength of the wind decreased gradually, the whole city was affected by it!
When Mr. Sang heard this news, his hands shook, spilling the scalding hot tea from his cup onto the desk. Fortunately, there were no documents on the desk, otherwise, they would have been soaked with tea, which would be a mishandling.
Ye Shengyuan was so angry when he heard the news that he smashed a medicine jar!
Upon hearing the news, Xu Zheng, the Patriarch of the Xu Family, stood still for more than ten breaths before letting out a long sigh...
He no longer objected to members of the Xu Family getting close to Lin Miao, particularly Xu An and Xu Qixi, although the rest of the Xu Family had little affection for Lin Miao.
As for others who were concerned about Lin Miao, they were astonished at the news, some cursed in disbelief, while others were disappointed...
Rabies is known as an incurable disease!
This is a well-known fact in the medical community, even recorded in the books of medical sages.
How can someone cure it? This is absurd, even if someone wanted to stir up momentum, it wouldn’t be done with such a gimmick, isn’t this putting oneself in the hot seat?
Has Mr. Lin gone mad just to become famous?
Many people had this thought, including Xu An, Bai Feng, and other acquaintances of Lin Miao, who were also dumbfounded when they heard the news.
They rushed to the Lin Family immediately and upon finding out that Lin Miao was still at the Convenient Medical Diagnosis Point, they went there at once.
The point was more crowded than last night, but everyone was there not for consultations but to see the little boy cured by Lin Miao from rabies symptoms.
Many had witnessed the boy’s condition when he was brought in, and knew that the boy’s father had first sought treatment at Anning Hall with Mr. Song, then at Jia’s Medical Hall, and only after being refused, did he come to the Convenient Medical Diagnosis Point.
Of course, he could have gone to other medical halls, but the child’s father had no money, and the child was too ill to withstand more upset.
The point was the closest option.
Now, although the boy appeared somewhat weak, he clearly was out of life-threatening danger, if that wasn’t proof enough, what was?
If only one or two people witnessed it, there might be suspicions of a staged hoax.
But now dozens of eyes saw it with their own eyes.
Two physicians from the Imperial Pharmacy were also present, could Lin Miao have colluded with them to create a hoax, or even make them endorse him?
This was nearly impossible.
Mr. Jia, with his stubborn, self-conceited attitude, wouldn’t stoop to such mixed company. Guan Biyun hadn’t even clarified her own issues; if caught, it would be a perfect excuse for the court...
And as for Cui Wanquan, he wasn’t even present yesterday, and who knows in which girl’s bed he’s sleeping soundly now.
Cheating, absolutely impossible.
Is it likely then that Mr. Song or Mr. Jia would help Lin Miao stir up momentum? Were their brains kicked by donkeys?
Once Lin Miao gets popular, they would be the ones to suffer, as patient visits would plummet terribly, almost causing the collapse of their business. Lin Miao even offered to buy Anning Hall with generous terms, but was repeatedly refused. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
This matter was real.
Lin Miao overturned a medical understanding, refuting the definition of an incurable disease.
This would undoubtedly cause an uproar in the medical community.
The skeptical voices would undoubtedly escalate into a storm.
But the main figure didn’t seem to care.
Curing rabies also depends on the person, fate, and even luck. In his past life, he had heard of many who died from rabies symptoms. If this cure worked universally, there wouldn’t have been so many deaths, nor would it continuously be labeled as an "incurable disease."
His ability to cure the little boy named "Xiaobao" might have just been sheer luck or a fortunate circumstance.
Some "golden reputation" and persona must never be established lightly.
Therefore, Lin Miao instructed Mr. Xie to quickly find a way to send the Liu Ffather and son home. Continuing to stay at the diagnosis point would create a whirlpool of public opinion.
As soon as the Liu father and son left,
the onlookers surged forward, almost rushing into the main hall of the diagnosis point.
"I want to see Mr. Lin for treatment!" Countless hands reached for the registration tokens.
"Me too!"
"I, I..."
"Take it easy, don’t push, line up properly, no snatching, Mr. Lin issues only a limited number of consultations daily, a maximum of 30 slots in half a day, after that the slots are closed, except for emergencies!" Xia Zhu hugged the registration tube tightly, hurriedly hiding it away.
The scene was out of control for a moment, causing Xia Zhu to sweat profusely.
"Those here for treatment must abide by the rules. If you don’t comply, you won’t receive a registration token, and future entry to the diagnosis point will be denied!"
Fortunately, today’s supervisor was Mr. Jia, his guard "Wei" stood at the entrance, his imposing presence silencing the crowd, forcing the agitated patients to comply.
Xia Zhu quickly distributed the registration tokens, for those in line without a token, they would have to return in the afternoon or the next day.
As long as it’s not an emergency, waiting a day or two isn’t a big issue.
Entering the consulting room with tokens guarantees patient privacy.
"Open your mouth, let me see your tongue coating." Lin Miao nodded and then checked the pulse, passing the patient over to Sun Youwei.
