Chapter 834: Chapter 836: Complicated and Intractable Diseases

Sun Xingyao looked at the child in front of him who hadn’t graduated from university yet. Since he hadn’t stepped into society, whether in speech or expression, there was a bit of foolish naivety. While this naivety might be good in some places, in the hospital, it was entirely unbeneficial.

With great interest, Sun Xingyao looked at Song Baiyang and said, "Little friend, I know you’re just an intern. I was a bit touched seeing you stand up for Xiao Yifei, but you’re being too foolish. If I say a word now, you could be leaving this hospital, and even Xiao Yifei might not be able to do anything for you."

"He might not even know that you lost your internship opportunity because of him, so why bother?" Sun Xingyao said to Song Baiyang with the tone of someone who has experienced it all.

"I didn’t plan on letting Doctor Xiao know, I simply wanted to do this. I just couldn’t stand you people with a little bit of power abusing it, wronging good people arbitrarily." Song Baiyang still looked like a reckless young man, but the courage in him was something Sun Xingyao hadn’t seen in years.

Having been in this great melting pot of society for so long, he had forgotten what courage was, what the camaraderie among brothers was about. This society demands that we smooth out all the rough edges of our bodies, turning irregular, prickly shapes into smooth spheres. Spheres so smooth that no edges can be felt.

"I was initially planning to dismiss you, but then I thought again and decided to let it go, because I saw in you the courage I haven’t seen in a long time. For this courage of yours, I’ll let you off this time, but next time if you meddle again, I will definitely not be polite."

Song Baiyang gave him a glance, didn’t say anything more, and just left. As Sun Xingyao watched Song Baiyang leave, memories of his past came rushing back.

He remembered most clearly an incident in middle school when a classmate broke a window. To avoid punishment, the classmate was intent on blaming the mistake on the most honest and shortest boy in their class, even colluding with friends to testify against him.

The skinny boy, facing their false accusations, didn’t dare to refute and was about to cry. It was then that Sun Xingyao stood up and said in front of the whole class, "It was that boy who broke the glass, I saw it with my own eyes, the short boy is being wronged."

The outcome of that incident he couldn’t remember, but because of it, he had no friends in middle school for three years, essentially being ostracized in the class.

That was the first time he realized that sometimes being honest is wrong, that it comes at a cost. He began to doubt everything in front of him and went through a very lonely adolescence.

Later, in similar situations, Sun Xingyao learned to protect himself, and the courage in him had long disappeared.

So when he saw Song Baiyang today, he remembered his own past self, paying such a huge price for one act of honesty. He admired Song Baiyang’s courage, but this society no longer needs such courage, and he did what he did today for Song Baiyang’s own good.

Such a person would suffer great losses when they enter society.

Song Baiyang arrived at Xiao Yifei’s office and saw Xiao Yifei diagnosing the patient from earlier. A few minutes later, he wrote a prescription, and then the person left.

He then said to Xiao Yifei, "This person was introduced by Sun Xingyao. I heard them say that this illness has been seen by many doctors but hasn’t been cured. Sun Xingyao intentionally pushed this person to you. Senior brother, are you confident you can cure it?"

Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "There shouldn’t be any major problems. The matters between Director Sun and me, you should not get involved, it wouldn’t be good to implicate you. You’re here just as an intern, leaving in a little over a month, so just learn what you can from me and don’t worry about anything else."

Xiao Yifei carefully advised Song Baiyang, just like he was his own younger brother.

While diagnosing earlier, Xiao Yifei thought that Sun Xingyao must have exaggerated. The person he introduced didn’t seem to have such a serious condition. Just by looking and taking the pulse a few times, he could roughly assess the illness.

He didn’t know what Sun Xingyao was up to, but according to Song Baiyang, this patient had seen no fewer than ten doctors already, so why hadn’t it been cured?

Sure enough, a few days later, the patient returned, saying it was still the same. Although he had taken the medicine for several days, his headache and lack of appetite hadn’t been resolved. This made Xiao Yifei start to worry. Though he had seen such symptoms before, this time, despite looking similar, could be two entirely different situations.

Xiao Yifei again examined the patient’s body thoroughly and suddenly realized that he was entirely relying on past experience for his conclusion, since the physical symptoms were so similar to cases he had encountered before.

Xiao Yifei naturally assumed this case was the same as those. After diagnosing this time, he realized he had never seen such a case before. Despite having read numerous medical books and having inherited medical books from the Xiao family, he hadn’t come across such symptoms.

Could this be a newly emerged condition? At that moment, Xiao Yifei felt a bit uneasy, and only then did he realize that Sun Xingyao had laid out such a huge plan for him. If he could treat it and find a new treatment method, he might become renowned in the national medical community.

However, if there were any mishaps, or if he couldn’t treat it, he would face ruin. Unable to find any solution, Xiao Yifei told the patient, "Your illness is quite rare, I’ve never seen a patient like you before, so you need to be hospitalized for observation. I need to come up with a new treatment plan."

Xiao Yifei explained his situation to the hospital director. Once he got the director’s approval, he began to focus on researching this new case. He took out the book left to him by his grandfather and read it carefully, even though he didn’t have much hope.

He had read the contents of this book more than a hundred times, almost to the point of being able to recite it backwards, and he didn’t expect to find anything valuable in it.

To him, this book was now a spiritual support. Whenever he picked it up, he felt as if his grandfather was still by his side, ready to stay with him no matter what happened, giving him strength.

Suddenly, he saw that the ancient book recorded a case with symptoms similar to the patient’s, though only a bit alike. It was as if he found a clue, becoming excited as he placed the book down on the table and began pacing around the office.

Luckily, he was alone in the office, otherwise, others would be startled by his sudden excitement. Xiao Yifei seldomly showed such excitement, usually giving people a sense of being detached and untroubled.

He thought, although the two might not seem to have much in common, many symptoms are interconnected in the eyes of Chinese Medicine. Sometimes, two completely different symptoms may both be caused by the same underlying reason.
