Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

An Yiqing smiled and nodded, walked over to help Xiao Yue pour tea, and asked in a low voice, "In such cold weather, why are patients waiting outside?"

Xiao Yue gave a wry smile, "We have no other choice, there are too many patients. All three waiting rooms are full, so we can only ask everyone to endure and wait outside for a while. The Sect Leader added more staff a few days ago, but it can only address the urgent need. Sigh!"

An Yiqing was stunned, do these people think medical treatment is free? Is it too many?

However, thinking of the crowded scenes in large hospitals every day, she felt at ease. Sighing, An Yiqing stepped out the door and looked around.

Gu Yelin came out after her, seeing An Yiqing’s actions, he guessed a bit of her thoughts.

"Are you thinking of buying the surrounding courtyards?"

"Hmm, opening a café or tea house would be nice, lower the prices, give patients a place to stay, and also make some money."

Gu Yelin also thought this idea was quite good, giving patients a place to wait while making a profit, it’s a win-win situation. After all, they wouldn’t exploit others, so why not?

An Yiqing visited two places, one opposite Xuanjin Hall, and one next door. Both courtyards are quite large, the owners don’t usually live there, leaving them for rent or empty. An Yiqing didn’t haggle, she bought them outright. The owners were, of course, very happy and immediately came over with the deeds.

For the two courtyards, a total of over a hundred million, An Yiqing paid without saying a word. Afterwards, she asked Zhang Yuksheng to find a few capable construction teams and designers to start renovations.

Having settled this matter, An Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. Entering Xuanjin Hall again, by now, the people waiting in the courtyard had changed. For this situation, An Yiqing was not happy but frowned instead.

As a doctor, treating patients requires attention to detail. Focusing solely on speed can only lead to misdiagnosis. This matter is not a trivial issue, she needed to think carefully.

Walking through the courtyard, she pushed the door into the registration hall. An Yiqing was once again startled by the full room of people. Sighing, nimbly threading through the crowd, An Yiqing headed straight to the doctors’ lounge with Gu Yelin.

"Oh, Junior Sister is here?" The senior brother, Nie Yuan, who had just taken a break, raised an eyebrow when An Yiqing came over. Simultaneously, he nodded to Gu Yelin behind her in acknowledgment.

"Senior Brother, aren’t there too many people seeking treatment?" After walking through once, even as a Martial Cultivator, she was sweating. Even Gu Yelin, who usually had a slight obsessive cleanliness, looked a bit disheveled at this time.

Nie Yuan gave a wry smile and handed them a pack of disinfectant wipes.

"No way around it, there are just too many people. We can’t force patients to leave, right?"

An Yiqing wiped her sweat, "How many doctors are on duty now?"

Nie Yuan gestured with his fingers, "Twenty."

"Twenty?!" An Yiqing widened her eyes. The Medicine Sect has over two hundred people, around a hundred fully trained. Xuanjin Hall has four branches domestically, each with twenty, that’s eighty. But Medicine Sect disciples do more than just treating patients; they also teach and are experts, with only fifteen days of consultation duty per month. So, a hundred people can’t fully cover it.

In the long run, it will be a problem.

"No, this can’t go on. It’s bad for both patients and doctors." An Yiqing decisively shook her head like a rattle drum, "I bought the two properties next door, one for a café and one for a restaurant. If patients have nowhere to go, they can wait there. I will connect the TV from the number-calling machine over there for convenience. But, the number of patients is really too much, it will affect treatment quality. I suggest limiting consultations per day, so everyone can take a breather."

Nie Yuan thought for a moment and felt the proposal was good. Now indeed, there were too many people seeking treatment, and even big hospitals limit numbers, they can’t exhaust themselves like machines.

"Okay, I’ll mention it to Sect Leader Uncle when I go back tonight, ask for his opinion."

An Yiqing threw the used disinfectant wipes into the trash can, stood up, "Senior Brother, can you take me to see the inpatient department?"

Nie Yuan, without a word, led An Yiqing and Gu Yelin through the back door. The inpatient department is located behind the consultation rooms, connected to Xuanjin Hall Academy. Although called the inpatient department, it’s actually a quaint two-story building. The rooms inside aren’t many, just twenty-six. Each room has two beds, clean and neat.
