Chapter 152 - 152 Surgery
152 Surgery
This kind of scene had appeared in the opening of Huichun Hall and Mo Ruyue’s first consultation. Perhaps she had long expected such a scene, Imperial Doctor Tian had already arranged for people to disperse into the crowd to maintain order as soon as the door was opened.
Imperial Doctor Tian stood on the highest step of the Huichun Hall and shouted to the crowd that had gathered around.
“Fellow villagers, today is the day Lady Qin will perform the surgery for the patient, but we need an absolutely quiet and clean environment. If you all gather here like this, it will cause a great hidden danger to our surgery process.”
“I know that everyone is very interested in this operation, but we medical practitioners are here to cure and save people. If the operation fails because of other factors, causing pain to the patient, or even endangering his life, then what’s the point of what we’re doing? ”
“This old man would like to ask for everyone’s understanding. That’s a human life, and it’s not something that can be dismissed just by watching. Please give our patient a good surgical environment. This old man would like to thank everyone here!”
Imperial Doctor Tian’s words did not stir up everyone’s empathy. Someone in the crowd shouted, “Old Doctor Tian, are you treating us as cold-blooded people by saying this? Oh, if the surgery fails, we’ll be the ones to blame, right?”
“Elder Tian, we just want to see how Lady Qin is going to perform this surgery. We didn’t rush into the operating room to watch. Can’t we just watch from outside?”
“Okay, okay, stop talking. If the operation fails, we’ll be the ones to fix it. It has nothing to do with Lady Qin.”
The old imperial doctor had dealt with princes and grandsons in the palace, so he still had to pay attention to the superficial reason. He had never seen such a rascal’s behavior, completely twisting his meaning without reason. He was suddenly a little tongue-tied.
“Elder Tian, please go to the side and rest. I’ll speak.”
It was unknown when Mo Ruyue had arrived behind Imperial Doctor Tian. This time, she had learned her lesson from the last time and had gone around to the back door of Huichun Hall from a distance. Only then did she appear in front of people without alerting anyone.
“Lady Qin, this… You’re going for surgery later, telling them this…”
Imperial Doctor Tian looked at Mo Ruyue worriedly, afraid that her emotions would be affected at this time and directly affect her performance in the entire operation.
“Don’t worry, Elder Tian. These people who don’t even have half a bottle of water will not be able to affect me.”
Mo Ruyue smiled faintly. That calm and determined gaze inexplicably made Imperial Doctor Tian’s heart calm down. At the same time, he also sighed. How tough must one’s heart be to be able to withstand such a great pressure and still be calm?
In the end, he still nodded and gave his seat to Mo Ruyue.
Perhaps it was because her presence was too strong, or perhaps it was because her previous experience and lessons were too profound, but when Mo Ruyue stood there and glanced indifferently at the crowd below, the originally clamoring voices gradually weakened. The few people who were shouting the most immediately shut their mouths.
Just this scene alone made people sigh endlessly. Sure enough, some people didn’t need to speak, just their eyes could intimidate others.
Wherever Mo Ruyue’s eyes fell, some people responded with curiosity and admiration, while others subconsciously avoided her. Just from this kind of eye contact, she could see many problems.
From the time she entered Huichun Hall, no matter how many patients she had cured, even if there were some recognized difficult-to-treat diseases, the doubts about her had never disappeared.
If this surgery was successful, at least many people who doubted her would immediately disappear. Although Mo Ruyue did not want to use this method to prove herself, it was not impossible to do it in passing.
In the crowd below, she saw some familiar faces. Although those people were trying very hard to hide in the crowd, they couldn’t hide from Mo Ruyue’s sharp gaze.
The corners of her lips curled up into a sarcastic sneer, and then she said to the crowd in a clear voice, “I know that ever since I was crowned with the title of Divine Doctor, there have been people who have been questioning my ability. No matter how many patients I cure, and how many difficult diseases there are, your suspicions of me will never be eliminated, right?”
Someone in the crowd wanted to respond but was stopped by Mo Ruyue’s gaze.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to deny it. Think about it carefully. Are you doubting me because of my reputation as a Divine Doctor, or because of my identity as a woman? Even if today’s operation is successful, will you completely believe that I’m a so-called Divine Doctor?”
“Whether this operation will be successful or not, I will let the facts speak for themselves. I save people only because I want to save them. I don’t have to prove to you that I can, that I live up to the title of a Divine Doctor.”
“So, for those who are hiding, don’t think that I can’t recognize you just because you’re hiding in the crowd. Don’t think that I can let you get what you want just because you incited the whole city to wait for me to make a fool of myself. To put it bluntly, even if the whole country is incited by you to criticize me, doubt me, and curse me, it will not affect me in any way.”
“This is the last time I’m responding to you, and also the last time I’m reminding everyone that I’m a doctor, not a monkey who plays monkey shows. Every treatment I give is not a monkey show for you to watch.”
“Those who are here to watch the show, don’t queue up for my consultation in the future. I’m sorry, I won’t serve you!”
Mo Ruyue turned around and left after saying that, not caring about the noise that erupted from the crowd behind her.
Imperial Doctor Tian looked at her back, his eyes showing some disapproval, but even more so, envy.
He envied her for having the confidence to say such powerful words, envied her for being able to express her views so frankly and firmly in front of others. He had once had such sharp edges and high-spirited spirits, but after a long time, all that was left was gentleness and gentleness, and he followed the good advice.
He appeased the crowd again and then returned to Huichun Hall, ready to help Mo Ruyue.
The “operating room”, which had been carefully renovated and prepared by Imperial Doctor Tian, was located in the most secluded corner of the backyard of Huichun Hall. The entire courtyard was isolated, and strict disinfection and entry restrictions were implemented.
Only Mo Ruyue and Imperial Dcotor Tian were standing on the knife during the entire operation. There were also two other well-known doctors who were carefully selected and specialized in internal medicine. They could only do the work of handing over instruments, helping to disinfect and wipe sweat, and so on, which only “nurses” could do.
Outside the operating room, almost the most skilled medicine boys and apprentices in the entire Huichun Hall were waiting. They were ready to carry out any material and human resource allocation according to the instructions given inside.
It could be said that this operation was not a small one, and the cost was not small.
Before the operation, Mo Ruyue had already taken out the scrubs, gloves, and masks that she had developed and showed them to Imperial Doctor Tian. Due to the lack of materials, they could not be put into use on a large scale, which made Imperial Doctor Tian feel very regretful.
