Urban Super Medical Saint

In November, some places in the north might already feel the chill of winter, but for Jiangnan Province, November is the best season, with cool, breezy, and pleasant weather.

The doctors fortunate enough to study medicine under Ge Dongxu were in high spirits these days, just like the current weather.

On Monday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons each week, as long as they were not scheduled for outpatient clinics or teaching tasks at the university, the doctors would arrive at the hospital early, waiting to see patients with Ge Dongxu.

The more they interacted with Ge Dongxu, saw his work, and sought his advice, the more they revered this impossibly young Doctor Ge, and unconsciously regarded him as a teacher, completely ignoring his age.

It was the second Monday afternoon of November.

Today, Ge Dongxu chose Dr. Zhang Xiuwen's outpatient clinic to see patients together.

Dr. Zhang Xiuwen was one of the three chief physicians who originally supported him. He was older than Tang Yiyuan and was a veteran professor at Jiangnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

His outpatient room was for expert consultation.

Knowing that Ge Dongxu was coming to his clinic today, Zhang Xiuwen had his students clean and tidy up the outpatient room early.

Not only that, when it was almost time for the outpatient clinic to open, he went to Ge Dongxu's office specially to invite him, with the utmost respect of a disciple.

When Director Zhang went to invite Ge Dongxu, several nearby chief physicians had seen it, and they felt quite complicated.

Because of the decision that day, they missed the chance to work closely with Ge Dongxu, the true genius doctor of the modern era.

Because Zhang Xiuwen's outpatient clinic was an expert clinic, many patients came to him seeking treatment for their conditions, many of which were complicated and difficult to diagnose.

These difficult cases, if it had been in the past, even though Zhang Xiuwen was a renowned veteran of traditional medicine, would have also caused him a great deal of headache and the treatment often showed slow progress, with many cases being beyond help.

However, now with Ge Dongxu present, things were naturally different.

One after another, prescriptions were smoothly written up under Ge Dongxu's analysis and explanation, completely different from the ones the patients had taken before, yet they astonished Zhang Xiuwen and the others.

In the meeting room of the Jiangnan Province Provincial Party Committee building, a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee was being held.

The attendees, besides the top leaders of Jiangnan Province, were also influential figures capable of causing a stir in the politics of Jiangnan Province with a mere stomp of their feet. Minister Hao of the Jiangnan Provincial Publicity Department, who had been promoted to Vice Governor and was also serving as the Director of the Public Security Department, Zheng Zijie, was also present.

During the meeting, suddenly the Provincial Party Committee Secretary General received a phone call.

After taking the call, the Secretary General's face changed dramatically, and he hurried back into the meeting room, saying gravely, "There has been a severe traffic accident on Qianjiang Avenue involving a concrete mixer truck and a tour bus. Forty people were on the bus; the mixer truck's driver died on the spot, and two people from the bus also died instantly. The traffic police and firefighters have already arrived at the scene and are carrying out rescue operations, but the situation is very grim, and the death toll is likely to rise. Ambulances from the nearby Qianjiang District People's Hospital have already arrived, and Mayor Zhang and Deputy Mayor Liu, who is in charge of transportation, are on their way."

As soon as the Secretary General made this statement, the leaders in the meeting room all showed grave expressions.

In such severe traffic accidents, the number of deaths often increases among those who succumb to their injuries during later rescue efforts.

"Immediately notify Jiangnan University First Affiliate Hospital and Jiangnan Provincial People's Hospital to be prepared for rescue operations," Secretary Chen's expression changed dramatically as he spoke with gravity.

These two hospitals were the best in Jiangnan Province.

Without saying a word, Sang Yunlong took out his phone and dialed Ge Dongxu.

As soon as the call connected, Sang Yunlong said, "Director Ge, are you currently at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital?"

Ge Dongxu, who was sitting in consultation with Director Zhang, received the call from Sang Yunlong and, feeling somewhat surprised, immediately replied, "Yes."

"There has been a severe traffic accident on Qianjiang Road, with many injured and very seriously, too. If I order them to be taken to your hospital, would you be able to..." Sang Yunlong's voice was somber.

Most of the victims had sustained critical injuries and were in mortal danger, a different scenario from the old and chronic illnesses that Governor Sang had previously encountered. Moreover, there were many victims, and even though Sang Yunlong had confidence in Ge Dongxu, he wasn't sure if Ge Dongxu had the capacity to save so many people all at once.

"Have them send the injured to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital immediately," Ge Dongxu didn't wait for Sang Yunlong to finish speaking and interrupted firmly.

"Good, thank you!" Since Ge Dongxu had said so, Sang Yunlong felt relieved, expressed his gratitude, and hung up the phone.

As Sang Yunlong hung up, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General was conveying Secretary Chen's orders over the phone.

"Comrade Pojun, instruct them to send the injured to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital as soon as possible!" Sang Yunlong turned to the Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General and decisively commanded.

As soon as Sang Yunlong made this suggestion, everyone in the conference room was in shock and disbelief, including the Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General.

Didn't everyone know that Jiangnan Province's best-equipped hospitals, with the most skilled surgeons, were Jiangnan University First Affiliate Hospital and the Provincial People's Hospital? As for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, apart from traditional Chinese medicine being foremost in Jiangnan Province, its western medicine capabilities were on par with an ordinary city hospital.

With such a major traffic accident and many seriously injured, how could the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital handle the emergency?

Could they be relying on those old traditional Chinese doctors?

In contrast to western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine was famously slow.

To expect them to save critically injured patients was an absolute joke.

"Comrade Yunlong, aren't you speaking rather irresponsibly?" Secretary Chen said, furrowing his brows.

The other committee members did not dare to speak to Sang Yunlong in the same manner as Secretary Chen—after all, Sang Yunlong ranked second in the Provincial Party leadership—but it was clear from their expressions that they were unanimously in agreement with Secretary Chen.

"Secretary Chen, do you remember the young man, Ge Dongxu, who came last time with Elder Feng? He is a truly extraordinary physician. The heart problem I had last time was cured by him, and he is currently at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. He is the best one to treat the injured," Sang Yunlong explained straightforwardly, not sparing any details or hiding Ge Dongxu's capabilities, due to the urgency of the situation.

As the top official in Jiangnan Province, Secretary Chen naturally remembered the young man who had accompanied Elder Feng when they picked him up at the train station, riding in the same car. Upon hearing Sang Yunlong suddenly bring up that young man, and realizing that the seemingly 'absurd' order was due to this young man, Secretary Chen, a prominent regional ruler, couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise, "The young man who came with Elder Feng? He's actually an extraordinary physician!"

The other committee members, except for Zheng Zijie and Minister Hao, who were also visibly shaken upon hearing this, all wore expressions of puzzled contemplation, clearly trying to recall which young man had accompanied Elder Feng at the time.
