Chapter 453 - 189: Actually, You Know Him Too
"Oh, Old Xie, what do you mean?"
Hearing Xie Mingsong speak like this, Old Wu couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.
Xie Mingsong, as an old friend he’s known for over a decade, working in the same industry, he understood him very well.
This guy, his standards are extremely high, and he generally looks down on young people.
These years, he hasn’t taken on many students, because of this very reason.
So, when Xie Mingsong praised a young person like this, Old Wu’s surprise was understandable.
"I see he’s just in his twenties. Even if he has a strong family background, he’s just graduated from school. Is he really as capable as you say?" Old Wu couldn’t help but take another look at Lu Xuan’s back. No matter how you look at it, he’s just in his early twenties. How capable could he really be?
He was doubtful, even finding it hard to believe.
A mysterious smile appeared on Xie Mingsong’s face: "Have you heard about the acute heart attack case from a few days ago?"
"I have, what about it?"
Old Wu frowned: "Although it happened at City First Hospital, news like this, it’s hard not to know!"
"Exactly, everyone in the medical community was paying attention to that hospitalization." Xie Mingsong nodded lightly.
"But what does that hospitalization have to do with your young guy?"
"What does it have to do with him?"
Xie Mingsong chuckled: "It’s not just a small connection."
With a mysterious smile on his face, Xie Mingsong slowly explained: "The situation at that time was very serious. How serious, you ask? You know Zheng Xianjue, in Yong City’s medical community, whether it’s cardiology or cardiac surgery, he’s considered one of the best, even ranking in the top three in terms of expertise is unquestioned."
"I know Old Zheng."
Old Wu nodded and said: "Not to mention being in the top three in Yong City’s medical community, even looking at the whole province, there are very few who can surpass him in this area. With his ability, even if that case was serious, he should have been able to handle it, right?"
"Moreover, I heard that Dean Zhang also rushed back in time. In the field of cardiology, Dean Zhang Jiwei’s expertise is no less than Zheng Xianjue’s, perhaps even better. With both of them there, it shouldn’t have been a problem."
"That’s because you weren’t in Yong City at the time, and you only heard some superficial information."
Xie Mingsong shook his head and said: "Those two indeed got involved, yet they were still helpless. Even Zheng Xianjue admitted, that even if surgery were performed, the chances of success were low."
Old Wu furrowed his brow: "That shouldn’t be right. We both know the skills of these two gentlemen. If they couldn’t do anything, I doubt even the top few in the province would dare to make any guarantees."
"Unless..."
Old Wu seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but look at Xie Mingsong.
Seeing Old Wu looking at him, Xie Mingsong nodded slightly: "I suppose you’ve guessed it, that’s right. The situation was even more severe than you heard. Not just Zhang Jiwei and Zheng Xianjue were helpless. The other experts at the scene also had no good solutions."
Hearing this, Old Wu couldn’t help but gasp.
Even with almost all the big names in Yong City’s medical community on the case, they were still helpless. It was imaginable how severe Ji Huan’s condition was.
But knowing that Ji Huan was eventually saved, Old Wu was feeling quite curious: "Yet I heard that he was out of danger the next day?"
"Hearing you say this, I know you didn’t actively find out."
Old Wu’s face turned dark. Naturally, he would gather some information when that incident happened, but he didn’t deem it necessary to dig deep, as it wasn’t family-related.
However, Old Wu didn’t mind these matters. Instead, he asked with furrowed brows: "So in the end, who stepped in? With such a severe condition, there’s no way he recovered on his own. Could it be some bigwig was coincidentally on a business trip in Yong City?"
"Are you implying there’s no top talent in Yong City’s medical community?" Xie Mingsong said with a touch of annoyance.
"I didn’t say that at all!"
Old Wu quickly explained: "Old Xie, you just said moments ago that this has nothing to do with Dean Zhang and Zheng Xianjue. In Yong City’s medical scene, besides these two, could there really be someone with even higher expertise in cardiology?"
"Old Wu, have you forgotten something?"
"What?"
"You’re a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine!"
Xie Mingsong’s sudden remark reminded Old Wu, and he immediately reacted, looking at Xie Mingsong incredulously: "Are you saying the one who saved him was from our Traditional Chinese Medicine Circle?"
"Who?"
"Old Zhang?"
Old Wu muttered to himself: "If it were Old Zhang, it’s possible. He learned nearly everything from his father, Old Mr. Zhang. Although he hasn’t reached his father’s level, he isn’t that far off either.
However, Old Zhang isn’t quite adept at emergency treatments. For acute heart attacks, if it’s about prescribing and decocting herbs, it might be too late unless there’s another method to first stabilize the patient’s condition."
"Close, rather similar to what you guessed, but it wasn’t Old Zhang who saved him."
"Not Old Zhang?"
Old Wu’s brows knitted tightly: "If not him, then it must be Old Huang. Even though he’s retired, he’s still a nationally recognized TCM master. Compared to Old Zhang, he’s in no way inferior, perhaps even surpassing in some aspects. If he stepped in, it could indeed be possible to save him."
However, just as he finished saying this, he saw Xie Mingsong shaking his head. Quickly coming to realization, Old Wu couldn’t help but continue asking: "From what you’re saying, it wasn’t Old Huang either? Then who?"
Old Wu was aware that Yong City’s Traditional Chinese Medicine scene had many talents.
However, surpassing Zhang Jingcai and Huang Beishan in TCM is rare. If it wasn’t either of them, he really couldn’t think of anyone else capable of turning the tide in that situation.
