Urban Super Medical Saint

Chapter 52 Taking the Pulse



"No doctor can cure all diseases, and I certainly can't guarantee he can do it. But his medical skills are unique, especially in some difficult and complicated cases where even I can admit I'm no match for him. So, if there's anyone in this world who can heal your condition, I believe he is definitely one of them," Tang Yiyuan thought and then replied.

After leaving the train station, on the road, Tang Yiyuan kept thinking over and over about the incident on the train and his conversation with Ge Dongxu. Eventually, he realized a harsh truth: although Ge Dongxu was much younger than him, his medical skills were likely superior to his own, even incomparable in some aspects. For instance, the miraculous method of treating asthma, Tang Yiyuan knew, it would be very hard to find a second person like that in the world.

It was precisely because of this that when he saw Liu Jiayao's look of despair, he suddenly thought of Ge Dongxu.

Seeing Tang Yiyuan say this, Liu Jiayao, even if skeptical, found it inappropriate to express doubt and could only hope that the young man was as impressive as Tang Yiyuan described.

But whenever she thought about that young face still carrying a trace of immaturity, Liu Jiayao couldn't help feeling disheartened.

This was, after all, a strange illness that many formidable Eastern and Western doctors hadn't been able to solve. Could a young man really do it?

"Ms. Liu, while we're waiting for Ge Dongxu to arrive, I'll see the other patients who have registered. When he arrives, I'll discuss your situation with him and see if he's willing to help. I forgot to mention, he's a peculiar young man—in layman's terms, what we usually describe as a recluse who hides in the city. Such people often have quirky temperaments, so I can't guarantee that I can convince him to help treat your illness, and you should be prepared. Also, don't put on airs just because he's younger," Tang Yiyuan instructed, and recalling how he got rebuked by Ge Dongxu on the train for showing off his seniority, his face couldn't help but feel a bit hot.

With Tang Yiyuan's urging, Liu Jiayao, whose spirits were somewhat low, felt hope rise again and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Professor Tang. I'll be mindful of that. You go ahead; I'll wait outside."

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony," Tang Yiyuan responded with a nod.

To take care of the expert's health and to allow enough time for the diagnostic process, the number of expert consultation slots is usually limited per day.

Tang Yiyuan, with his extensive medical practice experience, quickly saw to the patients who had registered later since none of their conditions were severe. By the time Ge Dongxu returned to the expert consultation room, Tang Yiyuan had only one patient left to see.

Ge Dongxu naturally didn't want to disturb Tang Yiyuan, so he also prepared to wait outside.

At this moment, his expression appeared as calm as ever, but his heart was beating much faster than usual because the bank card in his pocket now contained a whopping 1.3 million yuan.

For any ordinary young person, this would have already caused an emotional breakdown, yet he managed to maintain a calm expression, which was definitely no small feat. A slightly faster heartbeat was indeed nothing out of the ordinary.

"Hello, my name is Liu Jiayao. We just met in Professor Tang's clinic room. I'm pleased to meet you." As Ge Dongxu walked towards the clinic room, Liu Jiayao started to observe him stealthily after seeing him handle the huge sum of 1.3 million yuan with a still calm expression. She finally began to believe that this young man was not ordinary and remembered that her own illness still depended on this young man, so she stood up, swayed her graceful waist, walked up to him, and extended her delicate hand.

"Hello, my name is Ge Dongxu, and I'm also pleased to meet you." Ge Dongxu, who had seen a few beautiful women by now, felt a moment of nervousness when he saw such a beautiful woman like Liu Jiayao extending her hand towards him, but then he returned the gesture with a slight smile and shook her hand gently.

Her hand was soft but surprisingly cold.

Ge Dongxu frowned slightly involuntarily but said nothing.

"I'm older than you, may I call you by your first name?" Liu Jiayao, being a company president herself, naturally had some social skills. Seeing that Ge Dongxu didn't seem averse to interacting with her and wasn't as temperamental as the rumors suggested, she elegantly brushed her hair with her hand, smiled, and asked in a friendly and casual manner that didn't make one feel alienated or awkward.

"Of course, you can, Ms. Liu," Ge Dongxu nodded and smiled.

Beautiful women always tend to make men feel good, especially when the beauty initiates contact. Few men could resist her charm, and Ge Dongxu was no exception. Moreover, he was naturally a simple man from the mountains; he treated others as kindly as they treated him.

Finding that Ge Dongxu was much easier to get along with than she had imagined, Liu Jiayao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just thinking about continuing to chat with Ge Dongxu when the door to the clinic opened, and the last patient had finished their visit.

"Dongxu, you're here, why didn't you come in?" Tang Yiyuan saw that Ge Dongxu was already standing outside and was slightly startled, then hurriedly smiled and said.

"You were seeing a patient. How could I disturb you?" Ge Dongxu replied with a smile.

"Hehe, saying that makes me feel like you're treating me like a stranger. Your medical skills are even more profound than mine, so how could you be a disturbance?" Tang Yiyuan laughed.

Noticing that Tang Yiyuan had cleverly concealed Ge Dongxu's identity in front of Director Liu, but now in front of Liu Jiayao, he made no attempt to hide it. Moreover, when Ge Dongxu had held Liu Jiayao's hand earlier, he felt it was very cold, and Tang Yiyuan had specifically asked Liu Jiayao to stay earlier, Ge Dongxu realized that Tang Yiyuan probably wanted him to help diagnose this beautiful lady.

Ge Dongxu didn't want to make a fuss at the moment, but he owed Tang Yiyuan a favor, and Liu Jiayao had left a good impression on him, so he wasn't upset about Tang Yiyuan taking the liberty to bring him a patient. Instead, he walked into the clinic with a smile, humbly saying, "I'm just a student, I can't compare to Professor Tang."

Without waiting for Tang Yiyuan to exchange pleasantries, Ge Dongxu turned to Liu Jiayao and asked, "Do you mind if I take your pulse?"

"Of course not, thank you so much, Dr. Ge," Liu Jiayao didn't expect Ge Dongxu to volunteer and was overjoyed, hurriedly said. As Ge Dongxu explicitly revealed his identity, Liu Jiayao also appropriately changed how she addressed him.

"Hehe, just call me by my name, I'm not really a doctor, my main occupation is being a student," Ge Dongxu laughed.

"Really? You're just a student?" Liu Jiayao exclaimed in surprise.

She thought prodigies didn't need to attend school.

"Of course, at my age, what else would I be doing if not studying?" Ge Dongxu said, laughing as he stretched out three fingers to take Liu Jiayao's pulse at the "inch, bar, and cubit" positions.

"In recent years, have you been experiencing occasional dizziness or even fainting spells?" Ge Dongxu asked closely after taking her pulse. He didn't ask Liu Jiayao to show her tongue but frowned slightly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As soon as Ge Dongxu spoke, not only was Liu Jiayao shocked to the point of losing color in her face, but even Tang Yiyuan, the experienced herbalist, was so astonished that his mouth fell open.

While diagnosing Liu Jiayao's dizziness through her pulse was within Tang Yiyuan's capability, further asserting that she had fainting spells was beyond his abilities.
