She seemed to be still in shock.
“You’re amazing, Doc! Can you give me your phone number? Let’s keep in contact!” She exclaimed after she came to her senses.
“Ahem, that’s not very convenient! I am a professional! Alright, go and get your medicine!”
Tang Hao waved his hand at her.
She stood up and reluctantly left.
The woman next in line quickly sat down. The queue was getting longer.
The women looked at Tang Hao eagerly. “Doc, my back hurts, my waist hurts, my leg hurts, and my neck hurts! Can you massage them for me?”
Tang Hao nearly rolled his eyes.
He restrained his urges after much difficulty, then asked her to turn around.
After the massage, Tang Hao asked, “Are you suffering from chronic pain here?” He pointed at the lower-left corner of his abdomen.
“How do you know?” The woman was surprised.
“That’s because you have weak kidneys. Women need to take care of their kidneys too. Here, let me write a prescription for you. Get the herbs from the dispensary and come back here.”
Tang Hao took pen and paper and wrote down the prescription.
The woman had her doubts as she looked at Tang Hao. After all, he was too young.
However, she remembered that the young physician could give her an accurate diagnosis just by looking. Moreover, the massage earlier had healed her muscle aches.
She hesitated for a short while, then stood up and went off.
The beautiful woman from earlier returned. She carried a bag of medicinal herbs in her hands.
“I’ve got the ingredients, Doc. What do I do now?” She sat down and said coyly to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao coughed, turned around, and requested a nurse to bring him a gallipot and some small bowls.
The elderly Chinese physicians looked at that curiously.
“What is this kid doing? He’s concocting the medicine on the spot?”
“That kid seems quite capable. He diagnoses the two patients’ symptoms without taking a pulse.”
An elderly Chinese physician sitting in front of a computer said, “It’s here. The dispensary sent me the prescription.”
All of them crowded around the computer to see and were equally surprised.
Other than two ingredients, the prescription was radically different from the usual menstrual pain medicine they knew.
They were only sure that it was menstrual pain medicine from those two herbs. Otherwise, they would have thought that it was for treating some other ailment.
Many of the elderly Chinese physicians were impressed.
“This is amazing! This prescription is amazing!” Hu Huaichun said as he stroked his beard.
“This is much better than any of our prescriptions. Not only it cures the current symptoms, but it can also prevent the disease from recurring. The patient will be cured completely if they take the medicine for an extended amount of time.”
The other elderly Chinese physicians also nodded in agreement.
They heard Tang Hao speak at that moment.
“Let me concoct the medicine for you. Your problems will be immediately gone after you drink it.”
“I’ll drink whatever you make me, Doc!” The beautiful woman spoke.
The elderly Chinese physicians were stunned.
“This young man is so boastful. His lies will be busted immediately!” Someone said.
“An immediate cure? He’s taking this too far! No one will believe him!”
“Hmph, I’d like to see how he can concoct an immediate cure!”
The people opened the door and walked toward Tang Hao angrily.
Chapter 432 - Utter Shock
Tang Hao opened the bag and took out the herbs.
The herbs obtained from the dispensary had been processed and dried, which made them more suitable for boiling. They were different from those that Tang Hao usually used.
He had to soak them in water before he could pound any liquid out of them.
Tang Hao poured a bottle of water into a bowl, soaked the herbs in them, and put them into the gallipot. He discreetly used the qi in his body to activate the potency of the herbs while doing so.
After that, he started pounding on the herbs.
The beautiful woman leaned on the table. She looked at him like a young girl in love, with her hands propping up her cheeks.
“You look so cool when you’re pounding the herbs, Doc!”
“Your hands are so nice, Doc!”
She said obsessively.
Behind her, many women also seemed to be going crazy over the young physician. They were taking photos of him with their phones.
The group of more than twenty elderly Chinese physicians came out from the room. Their sudden appearance attracted the attention of many people.
They walked up next to Tang Hao. They did not say anything but looked at him with unfriendly gazes.
Many patients were in the lobby. They did not want to reprimand him right there, though their body language was obvious.
Tang Hao turned to glance at them, then turned his head back and continued pounding the herbs.
“This kid is too big of a boast!”
“The prescription is ingenious, but having an immediate effect is impossible. Chinese medicine is all about treating the symptoms of a disease over an extended period!”
They mumbled among themselves.
Tang Hao stopped about a minute later. He poured a black liquid from the gallipot and filled up a small bowl.
“Drink this!” He said as he pushed the bowl toward the woman.
The beautiful woman took the bowl and sniffed it. “Why is it so fragrant?”
As far as she knew, Chinese medicine should be bitter. As the saying went, ‘Bitter medicine is good for the body.’
However, she paid no heed to that thought.
The medicine was given by the handsome young physician, and so it must be good.
She gulped down the small bowl of medicine.
The medicine was smooth, thick, and sweet in her mouth like fruit juice. She emptied the bowl in an instant and wiped her mouth.
“So delicious!” She exclaimed.
Instantly, she felt a warm current spreading from her stomach to the rest of her body.
The chronic pain in her body was gone.
A while later, she felt that she was filled with energy, as though she was a different person.
“Oh wow, it’s really cured! I don’t feel the pain anymore! Also… I feel very energetic now! What medicine did you feed me, Doc? It’s amazing!”
Her face was flush with color as she exclaimed excitedly.
The elderly Chinese physicians looked at her doubtfully.
‘That can’t be! She drank the medicine barely two minutes ago. How can it take effect so soon? Even miracle potions shouldn’t take effect that fast!
‘Moreover, the effects should not be that obvious!’
However, they could see from the changes in the woman’s body that the medicine seemed to have already taken effect.
“How could this be?”
The elderly Chinese physicians exclaimed incredulously.
What they just witnessed was beyond their knowledge.
They looked at each other and could see the shock in each other’s eyes.
“Excuse me, Madam, can we take your pulse?”
The elderly Chinese physicians rushed over and surrounded the woman, who was taken by surprise and stuck out her arm reflexively.
They took turns taking the woman’s pulse, then observed the color of her face. They were utterly shocked by their diagnosis.
“How could this be? That’s impossible!”
“She’s cured, and she’s become healthier too! This… This is incredible!”
Their exclamations did not cease for a very long time.
They scrutinized the prescription earlier and saw nothing out of the ordinary. By their estimations, a patient w
ould need to take the medicine daily for about two weeks before their health would improve.
If the patient was cured in less than two minutes, they could not find another word to describe it other than a miracle.
They were also very curious about how those normal medicinal herbs would bring about such a great effect.
The other patients in the hall looked at the elderly Chinese physicians.
The women in the queue in front of Tang Hao’s table seemed excited. Their eyes were sparkling.
‘Is this doctor… a divine doctor?’
Meanwhile, the second patient also returned from the dispensary.
Tang Hao took the herbs and pounded them in the gallipot.
The group of elderly Chinese physicians looked at him, carefully observing his every move to see if there was anything strange.
“It can’t be another miracle again, right?” They mumbled.
A bowl of medicine was soon ready for consumption.
After the patient drank it, her pallid face soon became flush with color. The elderly Chinese physicians made their diagnosis and were once again stunned.
‘Another patient cured!
‘She had kidney problems. That would usually take months of treatment before one could see any effect, but now it’s cured within three minutes!’
They had never seen such a thing in their entire career as physicians.
They took the prescription and looked closely at it, but they could not find out what was so amazing about it.
“Alright, next!”
Tang Hao waved at the line in front of him.
“Doc, my waist hurts, my back hurts, my whole body hurts! Just give me a full-body massage!”
A young woman sat in front of him and said coyly. She pointed at her chest and said, “Doc, I feel some pressure and pain here. Do you think that it’s some disease?”
Tang Hao looked at her and was surprised.
It was obvious that her bra was too small.
“That’s simple. I’ll just give it a massage… Ah! Don’t misunderstand me, I’m massaging your back! You’ll be fine soon,” Tang Hao said.
After that, Tang Hao gave her a massage.
After that, Tang Hao said, “Big Sis, you have problems with your digestive system. Here, let me give you a prescription. You can go to the dispensary to collect the herbs and come back here. I’ll guarantee that you’ll be cured.
“Next! Big Sis, your periods are irregular, right? Also, your body is quite weak, and you easily catch a cold. How do I know? I’m a physician! I can diagnose your ailments just by looking.
“Here’s a prescription, go get the herbs!
“Next! Faster!”
Tang Hao massaged them for a while, and their bodily aches were cured. The rest of the problems could be solved by the prescriptions.
“I feel fine now!
“Oh my god! This is a miracle!”
The elderly Chinese physicians were losing their minds over the speed at which the patients were cured.
‘This kid might really be a divine doctor!’
They finally admitted that Tang Hao was indeed capable.
Chapter 433 - Talk of the Town
More and more people queued up in Tang Hao’s line.
The line in front of Tang Hao had almost gone past the entrance. They were all females of various ages. Some of them were young women in their twenties, and many of them were middle-aged women.
They were chatting in their cliques and seemed extremely excited.
They looked respectfully at the young physician in a white coat in front of them.
The young physician was not only handsome but had amazing massaging skills.
Moreover, his medical skills were amazing. Even the group of renowned elderly Chinese physicians were impressed.
“Hey, Xiaoli, come here quick! There’s a divine doctor. No, he’s not a con artist. Let me tell you, he’s very handsome too.”
“Hey, Yulan! Come to the hospital! There’s a very amazing doctor here, and his medical skills are miraculous! Really, I’m not lying.”
They called or messaged their friends to come to the hospital.
The men in the other lines were piqued. They ran over and stood at the back of the line.
The line was instantly stretched by several times and out of the entrance. It looked like a majestic dragon.
About fifteen minutes later, another group of people came. They were all middle-aged women.
“So that’s the physician? He’s so handsome!”
“This is crazy, so many people!”
They first looked at Tang Hao, then at the line stretching away from the table.
More and more women came to join the queue.
The elderly Chinese physicians were speechless when they saw that.
‘This is… too exaggerated. How long would it take to clear the entire queue? More and more people are coming too. This is crazy!’
They were also feeling resentful.
They thought that by placing the kid in the lobby, he would only be embarrassing himself. They had not expected that the real situation was the total opposite.
The patients were already at the hospital. They could not send them home before they got their diagnosis!
“Quick, get a few more nurses to help him! Also, get the people in the dispensary to buck up.”
An elderly Chinese physician shouted. He was the chief physician of the hospital.
He pointed at the physicians at the other tables. “All of you, come over here and help!”
They were anxious, but Tang Hao was not. He sat there and continued diagnosing the patients at his pace.
“Big Sis, you have infertility problems! No worries, this is easy. Here, take this prescription to the dispensary.”
“Auntie, you have gastric ulcers. Here, take this prescription to the dispensary.”
Tang Hao wrote prescriptions continuously. When the herbs came, he quickly activated them, then handed them to the nurses who processed them into a bowl of liquid.
The patients’ diseases were cured within minutes after taking the medicine. They had no words to say other than exclamations of surprise.
For more complicated diseases, Tang Hao brought the patient into a room and treated them with acupuncture.
As more and more people were cured, news that the hospital had a divine doctor spread out.
“Have you heard? There’s a divine doctor in the hospital north of town. His medical skills are miraculous. My uncle’s sister-in-law just got out from there.”
“Go, go! Let’s go see the divine doctor!”
More and more people went to the hospital from all over the Capital. Cars were parked along the sides of the streets leading to the hospital, and the queue grew even longer.
The entire hospital was mobilized. All the nurses and doctors rushed into the lobby to see who the divine doctor was.
They were dumbfounded when they saw the ridiculously long queue that went out of the door and the senior physicians of the hospital helping out the young physician.
Words could not adequately express the shock they currently felt.
The sun was beginning to set.
The hospital was brightly lit. The lobby of the hospital remained packed with patients and their family members.
“Looks like we’ll be pulling an all-nighter today!” Hu Huaichun said with a dry smile.
“We won’t clear up the queue even if we pull several all-nighters in a row. The people keep on coming!”
“This kid is godlike! Where did he come from?”
The elderly Chinese physicians lamented and became more resentful than ever.
They discussed among themselves and with Tang Hao. They decided to continue operating until ten o’clock the next morning.
They also started to filter the patients. Those with common illnesses did not require Tang Hao’s diagnosis.
That shortened the queue by more than half.
After a qui
ck dinner, Tang Hao went back to his table and continued working.
As the night went on, Tang Hao remained as energetic as ever. He lost count of the number of patients he had treated.
The elderly Chinese physicians had already fallen asleep.
By ten o’clock the next morning, there was still a long queue, and thus the operation hours were extended once again. Tang Hao finally got off his shift at five o’clock in the evening.
“Hey, kid, are you interested in working in my hospital? You can be the chief physician.”
“Just ignore him, kid. Come to my academy. With your abilities, you can be a professor. Isn’t it better to be a professor than a doctor?”
The elderly Chinese physicians eagerly made offers as they crowded around Tang Hao.
“Pah, all of you, don’t try to take him away from Province Z!” Hu Huaichun said, “He’s from Province Z, so he should come to my hospital. The nurses in my hospital are all cute and single.”
“Hey, Ol’ Hu, you shouldn’t use your nurses to tempt him!”
“That’s right! Do you think that my academy has no beautiful girls? All the female students there are very cute!”
The elderly Chinese physicians were quarreling among themselves.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and said helplessly, “Alright, I’m not going anywhere! I’m still a student and I need to attend classes!”
Everyone fell silent when they heard that.
The elderly Chinese physicians were all dumbfounded.
They came to their senses and remembered that the kid was still a student.
“F*ck! This is such a huge blow to my abilities!” An elderly Chinese physician said resentfully.
The other physicians did not look too pleasant either.
“Alright, let’s go!” Tang Hao led the way out of the hospital and returned to the Zhou family residence.
The three Zhou brothers were already waiting at the entrance. They treated Tang Hao with the utmost respect and humility.
They heard about the commotion at the Chinese medicine hospital the day before.
True to Old Master He’s words, the teenager was indeed a divine doctor. There was no disease that he could not cure, and all of the diseases were cured immediately.
