Chapter 355 - 365: The First Patient
noveℓ.com Gu Youyou’s words echoed through the crowd, bringing a mix of reactions.
Those who didn’t believe her looked at her as if she were some kind of freak, thinking she was joking.
"A doctor offering free consultations? Wouldn’t that be a loss? And to offer free consultations three days a month, as well as at unscheduled times, not to mention providing medicine for free? Even the long-established medical halls in Lingnan have never done such a thing. As a newcomer, are you not afraid that the wind might blow your tongue away?"
But for those who believed her, there was an overwhelming sense of joy, and they couldn’t wait to give it a try.
A young man timidly approached and asked, "Doctor, is the treatment really free?"
Gu Youyou tapped the sign that read "Dedicated to healing the world, consultations without charge," and said, "Of course it’s really free, or else you can smash this sign."
The young man immediately perked up and said, "Doctor, please take a look at me. The night before last, I was traveling and got caught in the rain, and now I’m sneezing and have a runny nose. I wasn’t planning to see a doctor, figured I’d just tough it out, but since it’s free here, I thought I’d give it a try."
"Of course, come in!" Gu Youyou stepped back to the consultation desk, donned a blue coat, and put on a mask. Then, placing a small pillow-like cushion on the table, she motioned for the young man to stretch out his hand.
