He couldn't imagine what Nini's fate would have been if they hadn't encountered Lu Xuan.
Zhou Minjun patted her chest in relief, "Luckily, luckily!"
While feeling relieved, the face of Lu Xuan, who seemed no older than twenty-five or six, flashed through Zhou Minjun's mind. She could hardly imagine how outstanding a person must be to have such skills at such an age.
Although she hadn't heard of Lu Xuan's name before, and even knew that a truly great doctor wouldn't end up in a health center.
But at this moment, Lu Xuan, who saved Nini's life, was a skilled angel in white in Zhou Minjun's heart.
With this thought, Zhou Minjun made a decision in her heart. She looked up at her husband Qi Wei: "Honey, let's make a banner first thing tomorrow morning and deliver it to Dr. Lu."
"Sure, sure, I'll go first thing tomorrow morning."
Qi Wei nodded repeatedly, acknowledging that the dedication of Dr. Lu deserved recognition.
...
The next day.
Lu Xuan got up very early.
After yesterday's successful start, Lu Xuan was full of enthusiasm. Now, he wasn't worried about difficult illnesses coming to him for consultation, because if there was anything he didn't know, someone else might.
Moreover, he could continually learn and absorb knowledge during this process and make it his own.
With this newfound confidence, Lu Xuan's face was also much more assured.
As he walked into the health center, Lu Xuan greeted everyone he met.
"Sister Na, have you noticed something different about Dr. Lu today?" Lv Huilan looked at Lu Xuan, who had already walked into the elevator, and couldn't help but turn to Yuan Na, who shared the same surprised expression.
"Yes, there's something different about him."
"I don't know if I'm seeing things, but Dr. Lu seems more energetic and confident than two days ago."
Yuan Na furrowed her brow slightly and uttered this intuitively.
Lv Huilan fully agreed: "Yes, yes, that's exactly how it feels."
"I hope it's a good thing!" Yuan Na sighed.
Lv Huilan was a bit startled, what does that mean?
From Sister Na's tone, could it not be a good thing?
Isn't it good for young people to be more energetic?
She looked at Yuan Na with a face full of confusion.
Yuan Na explained, "Think about it, why wasn't Dr. Lu so energetic and confident when he first came?"
"When he first arrived, everyone was still unfamiliar..."
But before Lv Huilan could finish, Yuan Na interrupted her.
"Speaking of which, Dr. Lu has only been here for three days. Do you think everyone is already familiar with him?" Yuan Na retorted.
"This..."
Lv Huilan shook her head.
Seeing Lv Huilan hadn't figured it out, Yuan Na said helplessly, "Yesterday, Dr. Lu attended to a patient. For a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor sitting in a health center, you know what that means."
Lv Huilan nodded, as she naturally understood.
At the health center, barely any patients register, as most people prefer going to big hospitals for treatment and wouldn't come to the health center.
Not to mention the Chinese Medicine department, where it's entirely normal for no one to come for months on end.
The last time the Chinese Medicine department was used was half a year ago, illustrating how unpopular it is at the health center.
"But this is exactly what I'm worried about."
Yuan Na expressed her concern: "In truth, in yesterday's situation, Dr. Lu shouldn't have attended to the patient. The best advice would have been to suggest the patient go directly to the Provincial Women and Children's Hospital instead of prescribing medication without any definite assurance. Luckily, the medicine used had no side effects; otherwise, our health center would have been in big trouble."
Lv Huilan suddenly realized, heart filled with lingering fear.
If anything had gone wrong with that child yesterday, Lu Xuan would have been the first to be blamed, and she wouldn't have escaped unscathed either.
If Lu Xuan were a seasoned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, it wouldn't matter, but the problem lies in his youth, having just graduated from Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine not long ago. If something had gone wrong, it would have been enough for people to criticize him, and the health center would be held accountable for it.
"Luckily, nothing happened."
Lv Huilan breathed a sigh of relief, "The director was wise to have the staff contact that family, so if something really happened, our health center would bear much less responsibility."
Yuan Na was noncommittal.
However, both sighed simultaneously.
It wasn't that the health center wanted to shirk responsibility, but rather that Nini's illness was beyond what the health center could resolve. They couldn't just shove the responsibility onto the health center, could they?
Frankly speaking, if the City Women and Children Hospital had already turned the patient away, what could the health center do?
It wasn't that they looked down on themselves, but the conditions at the health center, both in terms of personnel and equipment, were far inferior to major hospitals. In dealing with emergencies like Nini's, there was nothing they could do.
...
On the second floor, Lu Xuan headed straight for the Chinese Medicine department, greeting Wang Youqing along the way.
Seeing Lu Xuan's energetic demeanor, Wang Youqing felt both happy and worried.
"Looks like I really need to have a good chat with Dr. Lu at lunchtime."
He made up his mind.
Time moved to half-past seven.
As the workday began, so did the bustling activity at the health center.
The children's health department was bustling with activity.
The lab department had long queues forming as well.
Having blood tests done at the health center was much more convenient than at a major hospital.
After all, there weren't as many people, so one didn't have to wait too long.
As for the Chinese Medicine department, it remained in a state of neglect.
Lu Xuan was used to this solitary lifestyle.
As for yesterday, that was an exception.
That situation was more like a desperate attempt for help; otherwise, it had nothing to do with him.
Sitting in the consultation room, Lu Xuan couldn't help but frequently glance at the computer screen, hoping it would flash with a patient's registration information.
But clearly, those were merely wishful thoughts.
