Dr. Lu actually didn’t care much about all the "renowned doctor" stuff.
But when he discovered that this renowned doctor was the person he knew best, it felt like his whole worldview was collapsing.
This isn’t scientific!
"Why all the fuss?"
Lu Xuan gave him a reassuring smile, then patted Ji Xiuwen on the shoulder and said, "Just sit across from me, Kenan’s foot might not be fully healed yet, so you’ll have to handle the medicine. Once we find something suitable, I’ll let you have a try too."
"Rest assured, coming here means I can guarantee you’ll see two or three patients a day."
Generous, isn’t it?
Indeed, generous.
If it were other doctors, expecting even just one in a day might be too much.
However, Ji Xiuwen felt a bit uneasy inside.
But with Su Kenan there, he couldn’t say it outright, so he had to sit across from Lu Xuan with a forced smile.
After sitting down, Lu Xuan said to Su Kenan, "Start calling the numbers, we’ve already wasted quite a bit of time today."
"Okay."
Su Kenan nodded gently and operated on the computer.
Soon, the first patient of the day walked in, and upon seeing Lu Xuan, laughed heartily: "Dr. Lu, your appointments are getting harder to book! I couldn’t get one last week but managed to snag one today."
Lu Xuan looked and saw it was Old Mr. Ji Yongfeng, with whom he had chatted quite a bit.
"Old Mr. Ji, you look like you’re recovering well!" Lu Xuan quickly stood up and said.
"Thanks to you, I’ve even thrown away the cane."
Ji Yongfeng sat in front of Lu Xuan, looking grateful: "If it hadn’t been for getting your appointment last time, I might have been buried underground by now."
The early signs of a stroke at his age were something Ji Yongfeng knew all too well.
If it weren’t for Lu Xuan’s prescription, it might have already been too late by the time he realized it.
Even if rescued in time, he might have had to spend the rest of his life bedridden.
The gratitude he felt for Lu Xuan was beyond words.
"You’re still in good health, sir."
Hearing the robust voice, Lu Xuan smiled: "Sir, let me check your pulse again, and do tell me if there’s anything else uncomfortable lately."
Ji Yongfeng got serious: "Not much else, just this constant ringing in my ears, like there’s a cicada in there, it’s very annoying."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly: "It’s the same old problem, deficiency of kidney water, causing an uprising of summer heat, with dragon fire unable to hide. This time, adding Zuoci Pill to the regimen, along with some calamus enlightenment, and after 3 doses, it should improve significantly. If you feel better after, there’s no need for a follow-up; if not, then come back."
"I’d be skeptical if someone else said that, but hearing it from you, it seems like I’ll be fine after those 3 doses," Ji Yongfeng joked lightly.
Lu Xuan wrote down the prescription, and Su Kenan entered it into the computer and printed the billing statement. After deducting the fee from Ji Yongfeng’s medical card, she handed the slip to Ji Xiuwen: "Xiuwen, get the medicine."
Watching Lu Xuan chat confidently with the patient, guiding him like a skilled leader, Ji Xiuwen felt utterly lost.
Really lost!
He didn’t quite understand what Lu Xuan was saying, yet... they had studied the same things back then!
How did Lu Xuan change so much in just half a year that he seemed almost unrecognizable?
Also...
For some reason, the scene before him made him feel like, "We agreed to struggle together, yet you somehow made it to the top."
It wasn’t jealousy, just that the scene before him seemed a bit unreal.
A good friend who graduated with me, damn, he actually knows how to treat patients?
And he sounds really impressive at that.
