Chapter 636: Chapter 634: She’s Actually So Familiar With the Divine Doctor
"Darling, you’re beautiful." Unable to resist, Su Shuochi wrapped an arm around her slender waist and kissed her forehead.
Su Shuochi had a crew cut and was wearing a short black down jacket, solid black trousers, and a pair of black leather boots.
Gu Jiaojiao looked at the man’s handsome, charming face and said with a smile, "Let’s get in the car. You can drop me off at the hospital before you go handle your business."
"Of course I’m taking you to the hospital first," Su Shuochi said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Thanks, Hubby," Gu Jiaojiao said with a grin as she fastened her seatbelt.
"It’s what a husband should do. What’s there to thank me for?" Su Shuochi started the car, beaming.
As the couple’s car reached the hospital’s main entrance, Su Shuochi sensed an unusual atmosphere.
"Darling, it’s a sea of people here. Do you want me to stay and help?"
"Just pull over and let me out. You’re not a doctor, so you wouldn’t be able to help. Go on and take care of your business."
"I can’t believe so many people are lining up here on such a cold day," Su Shuochi said, frowning as he looked around.
He noticed that everyone was lining up in an orderly fashion, paying no attention to him and his wife. "This way, there probably won’t be a stampede."
"Right. If any accident happens, I won’t be able to see a single patient today. They aren’t that foolish. Don’t worry, just go."
Gu Jiaojiao spoke cheerfully, waving goodbye to Su Shuochi in high spirits.
’A fulfilling life doesn’t necessarily mean becoming a big boss or a powerful career woman.’
’As long as it’s the life she wants, one she’s built with her own two hands, she’ll be happy.’
’Being a Divine Doctor who saves lives is also wonderful. The pain of family members being separated by death is undoubtedly the greatest suffering in this world.’
’If she can save even some of them, that would be an act of immeasurable merit.’
"The Divine Doctor is here! Everyone, make way!" Just as Gu Jiaojiao was lost in thought and heading inside, she was surrounded by the hospital director, the vice-director, and a few others.
"Oh, Divine Doctor, you’re finally here!" the director exclaimed, excitedly grabbing both of Gu Jiaojiao’s hands.
"Director, it’s still quite early. What do you mean ’finally here’?" Divine Doctor Jiang said, sounding displeased.
"Haha... Seeing the Divine Doctor has made me so excited I’ve lost all track of time. I’ve been preparing to welcome you since dawn!"
Seeing that Divine Doctor Jiang was putting him on the spot, the director could only play up his own excitement and enthusiasm.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Divine Doctor Jiang and the director will sit on either side of me. Let’s begin the consultations." Gu Jiaojiao was all business.
The vice-director immediately handed Gu Jiaojiao a white coat. Gu Jiaojiao smoothly took off her long down jacket and handed it to him.
She deftly put on the white coat. Underneath, she was wearing thermal underwear and a high-collared wool sweater, so she wouldn’t be cold even without her down jacket.
But to everyone else, she looked lightly dressed. A concerned old woman said, "Divine Doctor, won’t you freeze like that?"
"Don’t worry, Ma’am. Taking a pulse requires a lot of mental energy, so I won’t be cold. We’ll begin the consultations now."
"Divine Doctor, do you have any idea what an honor it is for our hospital that you’ve come here today!"
The director stood to Gu Jiaojiao’s left, remarking with emotion instead of immediately sitting down.
Gu Jiaojiao had no time for him; she was already taking a patient’s pulse. It was truly a difficult case.
"The patient needs acupuncture immediately. The condition is serious, but it can still be treated."
"Really?"
"The Divine Doctor truly lives up to her name!"
"Our hospital was helpless! We were about to tell the family to prepare for the worst!"
Several voices cried out at once. Gu Jiaojiao had said acupuncture was needed, but that was just an excuse. The patient’s internal injuries were indeed severe.
But she had her spiritual spring water, which was highly effective for treating both internal and external injuries. She had tested it countless times, so she was very confident.
The hospital had plenty of staff, and they quickly prepared a mobile bed, helping the patient lie down for Gu Jiaojiao to perform acupuncture.
Gu Jiaojiao fed him a medicine pill made with spiritual spring water. The pill would be enough to heal his internal injuries.
Still, Gu Jiaojiao diligently applied the Golden Needles all over him. The acupuncture would only help, not harm.
While waiting, Gu Jiaojiao began treating the next patient. In any case, her cures were practically instantaneous.
In a single morning, Gu Jiaojiao healed over a hundred patients. Those with minor ailments were immediately back on their feet, full of energy and clamoring to go home.
Those with more serious conditions still needed to be hospitalized for observation, but their test results already showed they were in the clear.
These results made the people in line boil with excitement. Gu Jiaojiao even taught Divine Doctor Jiang, the director, and the attending physicians from various departments on the spot.
This caused the reputation of First People’s Hospital to soar and, more importantly, gave the patients courage and confidence to live on.
When patients are in high spirits, their treatment becomes twice as effective.
’As human beings, we all must inevitably face death. It is the law of life and a test from the Creator.’
’Even with her space, she couldn’t possibly save everyone. There were two ninety-year-old patients who could not be fully cured.’
Their cancer cells had already spread throughout their bodies. However, the fact that she could give them another year of life still made their families deeply grateful for the Divine Doctor’s skills.
Amidst life’s joys and sorrows, its meetings and partings, everyone was taught how precious family is and how hard-won happiness can be.
’Seeing the emotional faces of the patients’ families, Gu Jiaojiao thought about how her husband couldn’t stand seeing her scorned and had revealed her identity as a Divine Doctor. It had turned out pretty well.’
’This was a great opportunity for her to practice. Once she accumulates enough experience, she could develop some new miracle drugs.’
"Jiaojiao, I brought you lunch!" Sheng Shijing and Fu Guoguo rushed over on bicycles, carrying a meal prepared by Su’s mother.
"Thanks. Have you two eaten yet?"
"We already ate," Fu Guoguo said, walking up to Gu Jiaojiao while holding a lunchbox.
"Divine Doctor, please wash your hands." An attending physician’s assistant immediately brought a basin of hot water and passed it to their department head.
The department head took the porcelain basin of hot water with both hands and respectfully presented it to Gu Jiaojiao.
"Thank you. That’s very thoughtful. Have you eaten?" Gu Jiaojiao asked casually.
"I’ll eat later. This patient is from the cardiology department; he’s one of my patients."
"I just gave him one of the medicine pills and performed acupuncture. Why don’t you take him in for an examination and see if there are any changes?"
"Yes, of course." The middle-aged department head personally helped the patient walk back into the hospital, and his quick-witted assistant hurried over to support the other side.
Many people in the crowd had brought food in lunchboxes. While Gu Jiaojiao was eating, Divine Doctor Jiang and the director also received a meal each.
They took advantage of the break to eat as well. Even the patients got to enjoy the hot meals brought by kind citizens.
The young masters and ladies from Qing City’s prominent families all drove over with their household staff to deliver food to the hospital entrance.
Xi Li also arrived with food. She had personally prepared some delicious dishes and insisted that Gu Jiaojiao have another taste. "Jiaojiao, just have a little more."
"Alright," Gu Jiaojiao said with a smile, pinching her cheek.
This scene was witnessed by Wen Wenxuan, who had just gotten out of his car. His eyes were red and his hands were clenched into fists. ’She’s actually that familiar with the Divine Doctor?’
