Under everyone's gaze, the patient slowly walked out of the room. When she stood at the door, the whole room was silent. It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Almost everyone was looking at the woman. She was a twenty-year-old woman. Her skin was fair and rosy, and her hands were as white as cream.
Was this really the patient?
Everyone was nervous. They hoped for a miracle, but they couldn't believe it.
Suddenly, Patriarch Huo asked in exasperation, "Patriarch Ren, is this the patient?"
Patriarch Ren quickly took out the previous portrait and showed it to everyone. After a comparison, everything became clear.
This woman with fair skin was the patient. She was the woman whose skin was wrinkled like a seventy or eighty year old woman.
Patriarch Huo unconsciously took a few steps back. He looked at Gu Beiyue, who was walking out of the door. He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
"Hahaha!" Gu suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, "Gu Beiyue, you're good! This young master likes you! "
His hearty laughter resounded throughout the courtyard. Everyone came back to their senses and praised him. They didn't seem to have doubted and ridiculed him before.
Gu Beiyue, oh Gu Beiyue, he was simply a miracle!
With just a few words, he cured ten years of amnesia. Now, with a simple prescription, he cured the strange disease of premature aging. If he wasn't a miracle, what was he?
Not to mention the three department heads, even in the history of the Medical College, no one had ever created such a miracle. No medical team had ever created such a record.
This man was far better than the previous deans of the Medical College. His medical skills were definitely not fifth grade.
Amidst the praises, Tang Li shouted, "Doctor Gu's medical skills have probably surpassed seventh grade. In my opinion, he should be evaluated as an eighth grade medical genius! "
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately agreed.
"He must be eighth grade. Even Gu Yuntian may not have Doctor Gu's ability, right?"
"Haha, what kind of difficult disease is it? It's nothing for our Doctor Gu!"
"When Doctor Gu was evaluated as a fifth grade divine doctor, he wasn't even sixteen years old, right? It's Medical City's honor to have Doctor Gu back! "
…
Gradually, the praise turned into flattery.
Gu Beiyue was in the crowd, but he did not seem to hear the voices around him. He was whispering to the patient as if he was explaining something.
Disguised as the imperial physician of Northern Li, Bai Yanqing, who was sitting in the front row, kept staring at Gu Beiyue. His narrowed eyelids and deep eyes were not malicious.
"Master, where did this guy come from?" Bai Yuqiao asked in a low voice.
Bai Yanqing snorted coldly and said nothing.
At this moment, Department Head Ouyang asked, "Family Head Ren, has the medical skills competition ended?"
Before Clan Head Ren could answer, Vice Head Lin said sarcastically, "If it's over, then Brother Ouyang should hurry to see your patient, lest he starve to death in the Apricot Forest. That would be the sin of the medical school."
Only after Vice Head Lin's reminder did everyone remember that there was still a patient waiting to be diagnosed!
It had to be said that Gu Beiyue's medical skills surprised everyone, and they were so intoxicated that they forgot that this was a medical skills competition. The competition was not over yet, so Gu Beiyue had not won yet!
The third patient was a patient with an eating disorder. He was quite old and had not eaten for more than four days.
Department Head Huo's patient with aging skin had appeared before, but he wasn't the first. However, Department Head Ouyang's patient with an eating disorder was definitely the first. The medical school had never received such a case before, and there was no mention of it in the medical books.
This was much more troublesome than the previous two cases. Moreover, this patient could only last for seven days at most. Even if Gu Beiyue proposed a treatment plan, the patient would still starve to death if he couldn't be cured within seven days.
Department Head Ouyang had inquired about his assistant's condition this morning. The patient had not eaten for four days and was on the verge of death.
In fact, although Department Head Ouyang had been here all this time, he had always been concerned about his patient and had been paying attention to his condition.
It wasn't just because the patient's condition was dangerous, but also because that patient would become the finale of this medical skills competition!
Gu Beiyue seemed to have completely forgotten about this patient. Department Head Lin saw this and deliberately didn't remind him.
Even if Gu Beiyue cured this female patient, so what? If he couldn't save the last patient, all his previous efforts would be wasted. "Patriarch Ren, Doctor Gu said before that he could finish seeing all three patients in a day."
Department Head Ouyang purposely glanced at Gu Beiyue and continued, "It's been three days. I don't know what Doctor Gu meant by 'finished'? "
Everyone quieted down, and even Gu was silent.
Gu Qishao had actually forgotten about the third patient, but so had the rest of the group.
In fact, Gu Beiyue had cured two strange diseases and his medical skills had been recognized by everyone present. Everyone believed that his medical skills were better than the three department heads.
Even if Gu Beiyue couldn't cure the third patient, Department Head Ouyang couldn't either, right?
However, this was a medical skills competition, a competition.
No one could change the agreed upon rules.
Previously, Gu Beiyue had said that he could diagnose all three cases and propose a treatment plan. It was also Gu Beiyue who said that he could finish seeing all three cases in a day.
Now, the situation was really unfavorable for him.
No matter how many people supported him in the medical school, if he couldn't convince the three department heads and win the medical skills competition and become the director, it would be useless no matter how good his medical skills were.
After all, the medical school wasn't a place where power was the only thing that mattered. Otherwise, there wouldn't be two sets of standards for medical grades and administrative ranks in the medical school.
Once again, Patriarch Ren felt pity. He secretly sighed in his heart. 'Gu Beiyue, oh Gu Beiyue, you look low-key, but why are you so arrogant when you speak? Isn't this a trap for yourself? '
"Patriarch Ren, what does Doctor Gu mean by 'finish'?" Department Head Huo also spoke up.
Patriarch Ren wanted to be biased, but he couldn't help. He could only question Gu Beiyue as the head of the judging panel. "Doctor Gu, it's been three days. Shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?"
Everyone was nervous and worried for Gu Beiyue. He was still whispering to the female patient with a serious and cautious expression. He didn't care about the third case at all.
Han Yunxi stood beside him. Instead of being nervous, she was more expectant.
If it were Gu today, she would've been worried. But since it was Gu Beiyue, she was a hundred percent at ease.
She pondered how Gu Beiyue would treat the third patient.
She had seen a similar case in modern times called "Congenital glycosylation disorder type II." Because the patient couldn't swallow, they couldn't drink water. The illness started in infancy and there was no effective treatment. They had to rely on a feeding tube inserted in the stomach three to four times a day to get high-calorie food into the stomach.
Although Han Yunxi knew about this case, she didn't know the exact cause of the illness, let alone how to treat it. How could this illness be treated in a fifty-year-old man?
It would be very difficult to even keep him alive.
In any case, Han Yunxi couldn't come up with a solution even if she racked her brains. Therefore, she was very much looking forward to Gu Beiyue's solution.
Gu Beiyue's delay finally angered Department Head Huo.
He reprimanded, "Gu Beiyue, the patient doesn't have much time left. You're wasting his life like this!"
"Heheh, Old Man thought that Doctor Gu would choose the one with no ability to eat first out of the three cases. I never thought he'd put him last. No matter how brilliant his medical skills are, he's no better than a normal doctor if he can't distinguish between priority and urgency, "Bai Yanqing spoke up as well.
"There's no need to say anything more. Gu Beiyue promised himself that he'd finish looking at all three cases in a day, but he's already broken his promise. As I see it, the medical academy should expel him from Medical City immediately! "the Tianning officer sneered.
Unfortunately, Gu Beiyue wasn't in a rush. He tactfully declined the female patient's thanks before leisurely walking towards the crowd.
Even in the face of the three overbearing department heads and the ill-intentioned Bai Yanqing and the Tianning officer, he maintained his composure and smiled faintly. "This one can answer all of your questions, but I ask that you all wait a moment."
"Wait for what?"
Department Head Huo's tone was fierce. Those who knew him well had never seen him so irritable before. Unfortunately, he couldn't influence Gu Beiyue.
"Wait for the patient's good news."
Gu Beiyue not only maintained his smile, it even seemed to contain traces of ridicule.
He didn't know how others saw it, but the more he looked, the more he felt that Gu Beiyue was mocking him and looking down on him. Department Head Huo didn't understand. The patient's life was hanging by a thread right now. How could there be good news if no one was treating him?
Just as Department Head Huo was about to explode, a cry of pleasant surprise came from outside the courtyard. "Department Head Huo! Department Head Huo, the patient's recovered! The patient can drink water now, and he said he wants to eat. Hurry and go take a look! "
Everyone present turned to look at the same time, consciously opening up a path for the medical assistant to run in.
The young medical assistant was extremely excited. He ran while shouting, "Department Head Huo, a miracle has happened! This is simply a miracle! The patient's recovered! He's cured himself! "
The young medical assistant stopped in front of Department Head Huo, panting for breath. When he saw the man's stony face, he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the courtyard. He glanced around timidly and found that everyone else was just like Department Head Huo. They were all motionless and had stiff expressions.
"I … I …"
The young medical assistant began to panic before bursting into tears. "I'm not lying! The patient's really cured himself! If you don't believe me, go take a look for yourself. Sobsob, I'm not lying. "
It was truly too quiet, so quiet that the young medical assistant was afraid. He had no idea what had just happened, much less what Gu Beiyue had said.
In the silence, Gu Beiyue gently patted the young medical assistant's head. "I believe you. He's been hungry for so many days, so he can't eat too much. This is the menu I wrote. Take it and tell the caretaker to eat according to the menu for three days. After that, the patient can leave at any time. "
The young medical assistant was bewildered. Just as he was about to take the menu, Department Head Huo snatched it away and saw that it really was a menu.
"You … you … when did you write it?" Department Head Huo questioned.
"Three days ago. I wrote it in my room." Gu Beiyue answered truthfully. He looked at House Head Ren and explained, "House Head Ren, this one said that he finished reading three cases in a day, not that he was cured. The first two cases were read within a day, followed by diagnosis and treatment. The third case's illness didn't need further treatment. He either died without treatment or recovered without treatment. Now it seems that the patient belongs to the latter. "
House Head Ren was still in a daze when Department Head Huo exploded. "Impossible! Old Man won't believe it! "
He rushed out and ran towards the third courtyard. For a moment, everyone followed suit.
