Chapter 176
Hearing this, the worried look on Xiaoxian’s face vanished completely.
This Dr. Bai was named Bai Jie.
Not only was she highly educated, but the rate at which her medical skills had grown could only be described as monstrous.
She had only been at the City Hospital for two years, but she had already surpassed the majority of the doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
In the words of the hospital’s leadership, it wouldn’t be three years before she surpassed Liu Yun to become another ace of the obstetrics and gynecology department!
Bai Jie clearly enjoyed the nurses’ flattery. A smug smile she couldn’t hide spread across her pretty face.
And true to her nature, she showed no hint of humility. "It won’t be long before there’s no real gap between Director Liu and me."
"Of course. You’ve only been graduated for a little over two years and you’re already this incredible. Surpassing Director Liu is just a matter of time."
The nurse grabbed a first-aid kit from behind the station and handed it over, her face a mask of sycophantic flattery. "When you become a director, Dr. Bai, don’t forget to look out for us sisters."
Faced with the nurse’s attempt to curry favor, Bai Jie didn’t offer the usual polite platitudes one might expect. Instead, she adopted a lecturing tone. "Truly strong people never need others to look out for them.
"Work hard to improve yourselves. Don’t always be thinking about relying on others; you should be thinking about how to make others rely on you."
The two nurses were a little embarrassed and rather displeased.
’We’ve been flattering you so much,’ they thought. ’Even if you don’t want to deal with us, couldn’t you have at least said a few nice, insincere words?’
’Was it really polite of you to just snub us like that?’
Of course, they only dared to think such things.
For one, Bai Jie was currently the hot-shot doctor in the OB/GYN department, praised even by the hospital’s leadership. They didn’t dare to offend her lightly.
For another, they were already used to Bai Jie’s arrogant and self-righteous attitude.
"HISS... Y-you... be a little gentler."
By now, Bai Jie had already begun treating the nurse’s wound.
As she was being stitched up, the injured nurse grimaced in pain, tears streaming down her face.
"Just bear with it. If you keep frowning and moving around, the stitches will look ugly."
"I... I won’t move anymore."
Although Bai Jie was arrogant, you had to admit, her medical technique was indeed very skillful.
Just four stitches, all done in one smooth motion.
The stitch marks were so minimal that even a highly experienced senior doctor would have offered sincere praise upon seeing them.
"There." Bai Jie nodded, quite satisfied with her handiwork, then turned her head and asked, "By the way, wasn’t there a pregnant woman rushed in for an emergency? Where is she? What’s her condition?"
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
The other nurse quickly explained the pregnant woman’s situation and how she’d been taken to the emergency room. After finishing, she urged, "Let me take you over there right now. This patient is someone important. If anything goes wrong, we’ll all get reamed out."
"Who is she, some big shot? Why are you so nervous?"
"You know Tian Fugui, right?"
"You mean the rich businessman, General Manager Tian? The one whose two daughters-in-law are pregnant, who extravagantly booked the hospital’s best room with more than half a year to go before their due dates, and paid double to have Director Liu personally handle both deliveries?"
"Yes, the one who came in today is his elder daughter-in-law. I heard she’s best friends with our Director An from Human Resources."
Bai Jie nodded. When Tian Fugui had come to book the room, not only had he prepaid double the delivery fee, he had also extravagantly given a large red envelope full of cash to every single doctor and nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
"I remember she’s carrying twins, right?"
"Correct."
"Twins, a car accident, no external trauma..." Bai Jie’s delicate brows furrowed. "Have the babies been checked?"
"Not yet. But the preliminary diagnosis from the outpatient doctor didn’t sound good."
"Tsk. We’d better get over there and take a look, then."
Bai Jie didn’t dare dawdle any longer. She and the nurse immediately quickened their pace toward the emergency room.
「At the same time.」
「Inside the emergency room.」
After locking the wheels on the hospital bed, Chenyang began to examine the pregnant woman’s condition.
Seeing his focused and serious expression as he took her pulse, the husband asked, "Are you a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine?"
"Yes."
"Can Chinese medicine even treat OB/GYN cases?"
"If you trust me, I can."
"I believe in Chinese medicine. It’s just that the practitioners I’ve met before were all much older, whereas you..."
The husband’s name was Tian Xiangqian. Having followed his father, Tian Fugui, he had seen his fair share of high-society events and met many famous people from all walks of life.
Among them were quite a few titans of traditional Chinese medicine.
Everyone said that traditional Chinese medicine was in decline, but Tian Xiangqian knew very well that a true master of the field was a hundred times more capable than any of the so-called experts and professors of Western medicine.
Therefore, he held a certain reverence for Chinese medicine.
However, in his experience and understanding, a practitioner of Chinese medicine was almost always better the older they were.
The younger ones were usually just beginners. They could handle common illnesses without a problem, but more complex cases would be a struggle for them.
The unspoken meaning behind his words was clear: he thought Chenyang was too young and worried he wouldn’t be able to help his wife.
Facing this doubt, Chenyang didn’t try to counter with some grand theory. Instead, he casually remarked, "You and the patient were intimate this morning, weren’t you?"
"Ah... How did you know that?"
"If I told you I could tell just by taking her pulse, would you believe me?"
