The crowd turned their heads, all looking toward that person.
It was none other than Zhang Xiaoshan standing at the entrance of the emergency room.
Liu Ye looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a surprised and bewildered expression.
"Young man, what did you just say?" Hospital director Zhao Qiumei asked in astonishment as she looked at Zhang Xiaoshan.
The eyes of the crowd on Zhang Xiaoshan were also somewhat dumbfounded.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s expression was calm, his voice strong as he spoke.
"I said, I might be able to bring the patient back."
Now the crowd really heard clearly and immediately exploded into an uproar.
Sun Youyou pushed away the two security officers holding her and rushed to Zhang Xiaoshan, clinging tightly to his arm, her eyes filled with desperation and excitement.
"Little Shan brother, can you really save my dad?"
"There’s an eighty percent chance," Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.
"Kid, do you know what you’re talking about?"
At this moment, the middle-aged doctor who had earlier scolded Sun Youyou once again berated Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Doctor Liu is a famous surgical expert in our province, ranking at the top even on a national level. If she can’t perform the surgery, how can you?"
"I reckon you’re about twenty-four or twenty-five years old? How young and rash. We’re busy here, go chill out over there."
Zhang Xiaoshan glared at the man fiercely but did not lay a hand on him.
"I may not be an expert, but that does not mean my medical skills are inferior to experts," he calmly stated.
The middle-aged doctor scolded him again.
"Which department are you from? I have never seen you before?"
Zhang Xiaoshan said lightly.
"I am from no department; I am a village doctor from White Dragon Village."
"A village, village doctor?"
The crowd was first stunned, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Some medical staff pointed at Zhang Xiaoshan and said.
"Kid, are you joking? Everyone knows that a village doctor is just someone with some nursing knowledge, who can’t perform a single surgery in their lifetime. Plainly speaking, you’re just a medicine peddler."
"Giggle, this fella’s boasting too much, a village doctor daring to challenge a top surgical expert?"
The middle-aged doctor, apparently having some authority in the hospital, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with even more disdain.
"Kid, stop trying to get attention here, just go back to your village and sell medicine, or else I’ll call the Health Bureau to revoke your medical practice certificate." This update ıs available on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
"Actually, I guess a village doctor doesn’t even have a practice certificate, do they?"
His words elicited more mockery from the medical staff.
There’s an unwritten rule in the medical field, to absolutely believe in authority.
Liu Ye was that authority.
At this point, even Liu Ye’s expression began to change, her face ashen, her tone filled with anger as she addressed Zhang Xiaoshan.
"What, you, a village doctor, dare to question my medical skills?"
"Do you think the title of ’master surgeon’ I wear was picked up off the street?"
"Do you realize your words are insulting me?"
Zhang Xiaoshan said calmly.
"I did not intend to insult you, it’s just that there are mountains beyond mountains, skies beyond skies, perhaps I can do what you cannot."
"You scoundrel, where did you study, didn’t your teacher ever teach you to respect your masters and value the way?"
A national top-ranking surgeon being questioned by a village doctor to her face, wasn’t this the same as trampling her dignity underfoot?
Especially since Liu Ye was a proud and competitive woman.
Even her white coat couldn’t conceal the heaving of her chest.
She was practically about to explode with rage.
The usually unshakeable Tang Guoming finally spoke up at this moment as well.
"Young comrade, you should take responsibility for what you say."
Tang Guoming had been restraining himself, but his tone still carried displeasure.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan confronted him head-on.
He looked Tang Guoming straight in the eyes and said.
"Of course, I am very clear about what I’m saying."
The onlookers in the corridor all involuntarily drew in a breath of cold air.
Was he actually publicly defying Tang Guoming?
