Chapter 815: Chapter 812: As a Doctor

Lin Tian looked at Dean Miao in astonishment, thinking this old man was pretty impressive. Who would’ve thought that Dean Miao was a compelling figure back in his school days?

Though Dean Miao was rather old, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and some graying hair, his facial features were excellent, and his eyes were profound; he must have been quite the handsome guy in his youth.

"So you’re a senior; I should learn more from Dean Miao," Lin Tian said with a humble smile.

"No, no, no, your generation of young people is much bolder than we were, without such harsh environments. Why learn from us old folks? Are you planning to emulate our hesitancy?" Dean Miao shook his head and said.

When the two met, they somehow started discussing their experiences of courting women, leaving Xiao Manxuan and Zi Yan slightly irritated. It was such an odd conversation that made them laugh and cry.

Soon the group reached the front of the teaching building. Yan Dehui stepped forward and politely said to Dean Miao, "Mr. Miao, the reception room is ready with tea for you. You’ve had a tiring journey; please proceed to enjoy some tea."

"Principal Yan, thank you for the hospitality, but I think it’s better to advance the schedule, directly starting with the medical consultation is preferable. You can drink water anywhere, don’t you think?" Dean Miao replied tactfully.

It’s not that Dean Miao was unappreciative, but his nature is pragmatic, avoiding superficialities like tea-drinking and dining receptions, which he considers bureaucratic.

Yan Dehui smiled awkwardly but couldn’t refute it, so he went along, saying, "Mr. Miao, your considerations are thorough. In fact, the venue is all set up on the playground, which is spacious and convenient for parking the hospital’s equipment."

"Thank you, then Principal Yan needn’t concern himself with me. Having Brother Lin accompany me is fine; we can’t let the medical consultation interfere with the normal administration of the school," Dean Miao said politely.

However, these words didn’t sound so good to the other school leaders, as it seemed that they had no qualification to accompany and instead a student was to be by Dean Miao’s side, making them feel redundant once again.

Yan Dehui turned to the other leaders and said, "Director Gao, stay to coordinate the work, while everyone else can leave."

Director Gao was delighted and immediately assured earnestly, "I guarantee the coordination of work."

The other leaders reluctantly left, hoping to build rapport with Dean Miao but didn’t even get a word in.

"Brother Lin, we’re off to the playground now. Later, you and I will sit together; you need to participate in the consultation as a doctor. Let’s let everyone witness your acupuncture technique. Even understanding just ten percent will greatly enhance the doctors’ skills," Dean Miao said to Lin Tian expectantly after the school leaders left.

"Uh, I’m a student, wouldn’t that be overstepping?" Lin Tian said humbly. It wasn’t that he was unwilling, but he understood human sentiments, fearing he’d overshadow the official doctors and thus create a heap of troubles.

Dean Miao smiled and shook his head, then pointed at the doctors behind him and said, "Doctors practicing Western medicine subjectively misunderstand Huaxia medicine, but we must prove that our skills are not inferior."

"Today, I haven’t only brought people from the acupuncture department but also from other Western medicine departments. The purpose is here; as heirs of Huaxia medicine, not to mention promoting it, we should at least do what we can to restore confidence in Huaxia medicine, even if modestly," Dean Miao said earnestly.

In today’s societal development, the decline of Huaxia medicine is undeniable, with Western medicine taking the dominant role in almost every hospital. If this continues, Huaxia’s treasures may gradually disappear.

Perhaps ordinary people don’t see anything amiss, but to the older generation of Huaxia medicine practitioners, it is quite distressing, especially to an old physician like Dean Miao.

"Dean Miao, your words make me ashamed. I’ll go all out today and stick with Mr. Miao," Lin Tian said ashamedly.

He was naturally broad-minded, not caring about others’ opinions on what he did; he had hesitated earlier simply to avoid trouble.

"Haha, good, that’s the spiritedness young people should have, an unyielding determination. An industry requires youthful vigor to be full of vitality; we’re old, this world still belongs to you young ones," Dean Miao laughed heartily.

At that moment, the group turned towards the playground, where umbrellas were already set up and tables prepared.

"Junior Brother, it’s rare to see you demonstrating the Nine Needle Technique, don’t hold back. Senior Sister hasn’t fully mastered it yet," Zi Yan casually stepped forward, approaching Lin Tian with a light laugh.

"Don’t worry, Senior Sister. If you don’t understand, we can discuss it privately tonight," Lin Tian glanced at Zi Yan and teased softly.

"You little rascal, wishful thinking," Zi Yan, knowing Lin Tian’s intentions, immediately hummed softly.

Their quiet banter went unnoticed by others, as the other doctors quickly took their seats, each accompanied by a nurse assistant, and the nurse assistant at Lin Tian and Dean Miao’s table happened to be Nurse Xia.

The outside minibus directly drove into the playground, and medical equipment was gradually unloaded. After knowing that today was a free consultation event, the students all flocked to the playground. Initially, students were hesitant to line up, but Director Gao motivated them with a speech, mentioning that Lin Tian would participate as a doctor.

Just as the news was announced, suddenly a long queue formed in front of Lin Tian, mainly consisting of girls, each looking at Lin Tian eagerly.

Lin Tian wondered whether the girls were here for a check-up or for him, as there didn’t seem to be any viral outbreak specifically affecting girls, yet the line was almost entirely female.

With so many female students leading the way, others who were initially embarrassed to seek medical attention in public also followed suit, choosing their respective specialty doctors to queue for.

The students had all heard of Xinghai Hospital’s reputation, and a free medical consultation was a rare opportunity they couldn’t miss, while others who weren’t ill gathered around the playground to observe, mostly around Lin Tian.

"Brother Lin, I worried students would be shy, hesitant to seek medical attention in public. Your influence is quite effective, instantly solving this problem," Dean Miao smiled.

"Dean Miao, you’re too kind. There has long been the notion of avoiding illness through shame, but as doctors, sometimes we shouldn’t be too indifferent, viewing them purely as patients, but rather consider the method and manner of treatment with sensitivity, as patients are more vulnerable, and we must respect their feelings," Lin Tian said.

Lin Tian felt strongly about this, as he once witnessed in a hospital lobby a patient diagnosed with appendicitis, who couldn’t afford the surgery fee at the time, writhing in pain almost on the floor, with the doctors indifferent and the public watching, leaving the patient utterly devoid of dignity.
