Chapter 1332: Chapter 1332 Can’t Stop the Price Increase_1
Maxwell Lee and his team still came to him, but Peter Brown would rather forgo the 10 million dollars than continue to collaborate with them, leaving Maxwell Lee quite distressed. In the end, the hospital still paid Peter the 10 million dollars.
Seeing that Maxwell Lee had paid the money, Peter didn’t say much. Since it had come to this, it meant that some goodwill still existed between him and Maxwell Lee.
Of course, Peter understood in his heart that the decision for Maxwell Lee to pay must have been Mr. Watson’s suggestion, and that the favor was owed to Mr. Watson.
Now, throughout the provincial city, it had spread that Peter Brown, the "Divine Doctor," was awesome, specializing in incurable diseases, not even bothering with common ailments.
The more it was so, the more people came to seek his treatment.
Gilbert Thompson seized the opportunity to start promoting.
With Gilbert Thompson’s promotion, people began to learn more details. The reputation of Maxwell Lee’s hospital had declined greatly, and more patients were finding their way to Harbor District Hospital.
Peter paid no mind to how Gilbert Thompson and others arranged for the patients. When he arrived at Harbor District Hospital, the sight greeting him once again took him aback. This time, it wasn’t just the local media, but many high-nosed, blue-eyed foreigners as well.
"Doctor Brown, this really can’t be stopped. Now that the media has broadcast it, even foreign countries are aware. Many media outlets want to witness your medical skills for themselves. What do you think about letting them observe?"
Thinking that the bigger his reputation, the more likely he was to fulfill the assessment requirements, Peter didn’t see it as a big deal and nodded slightly, "As long as it doesn’t interfere with my treatment, let them be."
The light in Gilbert Thompson’s eyes suddenly brightened. He knew that from now on, his hospital would be extremely prominent, possibly becoming a world-class institution someday.
Watching Gilbert Thompson hurry to make arrangements, Peter went to the Traditional Medicine Pharmacy to check the various medicinal materials he had asked to be prepared.
After a look, Peter nodded to himself. Gilbert Thompson was quite methodical; everything that needed to be prepared was ready.
"How many sets of silver needles have been prepared?" Peter asked a very beautiful female doctor who was following him closely.
The female doctor quickly replied, "One hundred sets."
Peter nodded and said, "It’s better to gather all the patients in one place, it makes it easier for me to treat them."
"Doctor Brown, everything will be prepared as you instructed. Don’t worry," she assured.
Looking at the beautiful doctor, Peter noticed she was likely in her early twenties, her brows furrowed in concentration, probably still a virgin.
When the woman caught Peter looking her way, her face blushed. She had heard so many stories about him; she thought how amazing he was with limitless potential. If only she could marry him.
Peter was unaware of the beauty harboring such thoughts. He sat down, brewed a cup of tea, and drank, waiting for the hospital’s arrangements.
After a while, Gilbert Thompson arrived in haste, "Doctor Brown, everything has been arranged. The media will live broadcast the treatment process, but they won’t disturb your work. This time we have eighty patients with incurable diseases. As you treat each one, there will be commentators explaining the process. Twenty of them are special personnel, but they too have diseases difficult to cure."
Peter wasn’t really concerned about the patients’ situations, but he asked out of curiosity, "There must have been too many people this time. How did you handle it?"
"Nothing special, just set up a threshold for treatment. Following the rule you had with Director Green, one hundred thousand as an entry fee, each quota auctioned off from high to low, whoever bids more gets treated," Gilbert Thompson explained.
Peter’s mouth twitched at this. It was a blatant disregard for medical ethics.
Seeing Peter’s expression, Gilbert Thompson said, "There was no other way. There were too many people, and the world is full of the wealthy who fear death. Even with that, guess how much the highest bidder paid?"
Peter shook his head.
Gilbert Thompson revealed, "2 million dollars. The first one to get a treatment quota bid 2 million dollars, and even the lowest bidder offered 300,000 dollars."
What?
Peter was taken aback.
Gilbert Thompson continued, "Don’t be so surprised. The value of a Divine Doctor is far beyond 2 million. It’s just that your fame isn’t that widespread yet. Watch, after this live broadcast by the media, your value will see a substantial upgrade. Then, not just 2 million, but even 100 million dollars could be possible. I’m now considering expanding the treatment area; this place might even become a world center for healthcare."
Peter said, "Get ready then. If it’s about time, we can start treating patients."
After Gilbert Thompson consulted his subordinates for a moment, he told Peter, "We are ready."
By then, the media personnel had also been let in. The news of curing so many incurable diseases had spread over the past two days, drawing intense interest from many. Some streaming platforms had started contemplating live broadcasts, and everyone wanted to see whether this was real or fake.
The conditions of the hundreds of patients who had arrived were all disclosed, allowing anyone to verify whether they truly had incurable diseases, eliminating any possibility of fraud.
Indeed, as the media reporters looked upon the patients wheeled into the hall, looking as if they could die at any moment, a deep question mark formed in their minds: they’d heard Peter Brown was just a janitor, so how could he possess such awesome medical skills? What kind of inheritance had he received to become a celebrity overnight from obscurity? Was there a chance encounter like those found in novels?
Many people were skeptical and wanted to witness Peter’s treatment process firsthand.
Actually, even Peter himself hadn’t expected things to develop in this direction.
Of course, even if he had known, Peter wouldn’t have minded. As for the possibility of being captured for dissection and research, Peter wasn’t concerned either. Once he had earned enough money, he would rapidly advance in his cultivation. Then, even if a powerful entity were to come, what could they do?
As for being currently defenseless, Peter also wasn’t worried. As a Formation Master Level individual, even if an army came, setting up a formation would be enough to block any attack.
Dressed in a white coat, Peter walked into the treatment hall.
Since there were too many patients to treat at once and the numerous media present, Gilbert Thompson had arranged for the location to be the hall, making it more visible and straightforward.
As Peter looked around, there were plenty of cameras and broadcasting equipment set up everywhere.
Then, glancing at the beds of patients, he noted the IV drips keeping them clinging to life.
