Chapter 9: Director Huo

  "Director Fang is leaving, let's go take a look," said Xiao Yu with a confident face. At this time, Xiao Yu exuded an inexplicable aura that gave Wei Jun and Fang Yuan countless confidence.

  The top floor of the antique city is a very mysterious place for Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu has been working in the antique city for several months and has never gone up, only hearing some staff who came to the medical room to take medicine, the facilities inside the top floor are extremely luxurious, comparable to a five-star hotel, specially used by the antique city to receive some important VIPs.

  They thought they were bragging, but it turned out that not only did they not brag, but they were also too humble. This place is even better than a five-star hotel.

  Xiao Yu followed Fang Yuan to Room 3, and after entering, Xiao Yu's first impression was that it was huge. The entire room occupied an area of about 100 square meters, divided into two rooms inside and outside. Inside was the bedroom, and outside was the living room. Not only was the living room extremely large, but its decoration was also extremely luxurious. All high-end leather sofas and mahogany furniture were used, and a high-grade carpet was laid on the floor, making it very comfortable to walk on.

  There were seven or eight people sitting in the living room, with 'Bai Laoshi' and 'Mao Laoshi' prominently seated. Each of them furrowed their brows, smoking silently, despite the room having a very advanced ventilation system, but still filled with smoke. When they saw Fang Yuan leading Xiao Ye inside, they all nodded slightly towards them.

  Xiao Yu also sat on the sofa, and the sound of conversation came from the bedroom. Xiao Yu looked up at the bedroom, where there were many people, their figures blurry. Xiao Yu focused his eyes to see: two doctors in white coats, a nurse, an employee of the antique shop, a middle-aged man over 50 years old, and a young man in his 30s.

  A man in his thirties walked up to the patient with a smile and said, "Teacher Cai, this is Director Ho from the Deep Sea People's Hospital. Director Ho is a renowned expert in digestive systems throughout the entire ocean and even nationwide. With him here, you can rest assured!" He then turned to the service staff on the side and said, "This place requires 24-hour attendance, so arrange your shifts accordingly."

  Dr. Huo took a pair of disinfectant gloves, calmly put them on, and then took over the medical record, flipping through it page by page, asking casually: "What are you doing here? Didn't you go to the hospital?"

  In the living room, Mr. Bai took over and said: "He's gone, losing a night of fluid is useless, Old Cai insisted on not staying." After Mr. Bai finished speaking, the two doctors in the bedroom both showed an awkward expression.

  Dr. Huo didn't answer, and went straight to Teacher Cai's bedside, looked at the label on the IV bottle, observed the patient's complexion, then took out a small flashlight from his medical box and opened the patient's eyelids to examine their eyes. He asked: "How are the patient's bowel movements?"

  "It's yellowish-green and watery with foam, and she has had 13 bowel movements from yesterday afternoon to now." The nurse in the bedroom replied.

  Director Huo walked up to the bedside and asked: "How are you feeling now?"

  "Dizzy, tired, lacking energy all over..."

  "Are all the patients' body temperatures low?" Director Huo asked without lifting his head.

  "The temperature has been fluctuating between 38.8 degrees and 39.5 degrees," said the nurse, opening the record book on the desk to take a look.

  "Have you done 'occult blood test' and 'bacterial culture'?"

  "It's done, here are the test results." One of the doctors in the ward handed over some lab reports and films to Director Huo.

  Director Huo walked out of the bedroom with the test results, flipping through them as he went. The people in the bedroom saw Director Huo leave and followed him out, except for the servant.

  Everyone in the living room saw Director Huo walk out of the inner room and immediately stood up and walked over: "How is Director Huo? Is there a result?"

  Director Huo put down the test results in his hand, thought for a moment and said: "From the test results, the patient should be acute gastroenteritis, leading to the beneficial bacteria in the intestine becoming extremely small, while the passing bacteria thrive. It is very clear that the proportion of bacterial species in the patient's intestinal tract has been severely disrupted, which is a typical case of gastrointestinal inflammation leading to intestinal flora disorder and causing persistent high fever."

  The two doctors next to him nodded in unison, with a look of admiration on their faces. The young man in his thirties next to them heard Director Huo say this and couldn't help but feel proud: "I told you! With Director Huo taking charge, there's no disease that can't be cured."

  "That's Chen Jinghai, and the one over there is probably the doctor he brought. How's Xiao Xiao? Are you sure?" Fang Yuan whispered in Xiao Yu's ear.

  "Director Fang, don't worry," said Xiao Yu.

  "Hmm" Looking at Xiao Yu's appearance, Fang Yuan let out a breath and slowly relaxed. Since Xiao Yu returned from Zhongnan Province, perhaps due to the fusion of Zhong Kui's memories, Xiao Yu had added a refined and elegant demeanor, and when speaking, he had an inexplicable aura that made people believe in him. If some lifelong scholars saw this, they would be shocked, for on Xiao Yu appeared the upright and righteous energy that only truly great Confucian scholars possessed - Haoran Zhengqi.

  Actually, Western medicine is difficult and not difficult at the same time. It's difficult because diagnosis can be challenging, with two doctors possibly having different diagnoses based on the same test results. On the other hand, it's not difficult because once a diagnosis is made, there are established standard treatment protocols to follow. If you get diagnosed and consult several doctors, their treatment methods won't differ much. So, the key thing in Western medicine is making an accurate diagnosis, as the treatments that follow will be largely similar.

  Another thing is that Western medicine and drugs are closely related. Two hospitals with the same disease, using the same drug, why can some be cured and others not? This depends on the quality of the hospital's drugs. The quality of identical ingredients produced by different manufacturers is absolutely different, which also has a lot to do with price. This is also the reason why the larger the hospital, the more expensive the medication costs.

  "What medicine have you all given to the patient?" Director Huo asked the two doctors, turning his head.

  "Ceftriaxone, bacterial growth promoters, antipyretics..." one of the doctors said.

  "Let's withdraw them all! Use Xianlisu and Xiyangping... ...Cooperate with each other, and add a antipyretic injection, try it first! Should be no big deal!" Director Huo said thoughtfully.

  Upon hearing Director Huo say that it's no big deal, 'Bai Teacher' and 'Mao Teacher' and others all let out a sigh of relief. If not, they were all planning to return to Beijing.
