Chapter 145: Observation
Song Xiaodong nodded and immediately followed He Wenbai into the operating room.
"The situation is critical! Old Shen... Old Shen won’t be in trouble, will he?" Sun Dongxiang only paid attention to what He Wenbai had said earlier and suddenly felt her legs go weak.
Shen Yue hurriedly supported her mother, tears streaming down her face as she choked up and said, "No, no, my dad won’t be in trouble; he definitely will be cured."
By then, the crowd outside the operating room had grown several times larger than before. As the deputy mayor was involved, naturally, many people had come to visit, and of course, many were genuinely concerned.
However, some people had other ideas. If the position of the deputy mayor became vacant, then a bunch of people below would have the opportunity for promotion.
Someone saw Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er entering the operating room and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Who were those people who just went into the operating room?"
Another person immediately said, "I don’t know; they must be doctors, right?"
A person who had stood next to Lin Su’er and Song Xiaodong said, "Vice President He just mentioned calling in a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. That person seems to be the TCM he invited, but isn’t he too young? Don’t TCM practitioners usually need to be much older? Such a young person, without many years of practice, can he really handle it? Won’t he make things worse?"
"It shouldn’t be a problem, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners usually just prescribe herbal medicines. For this kind of traumatic surgery, he probably can’t help much."
A few people merely chatted casually and didn’t take it seriously; after all, for many people, they were used to the Western Medicine treatment method, and the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine had become rare. Besides, it is often hard to find truly skilled TCM practitioners; usual TCM practitioners indeed don’t have much skill, which explains why people didn’t believe in them.
