"Li Qinxue?"

Wang Youqing furrowed his brow deeply, having never heard of the Health Center ever receiving such a patient.

"Old Xiao, can you tell me exactly what illness she had?"

"Although the Health Center doesn't see a huge number of patients every day, it's not a small number either, and it's been a few days. I really don't know if there was a patient named Li Qinxue that you're talking about."

Wang Youqing thought for a moment and said.

Xiao Boheng patted his forehead, "Look at me, I wasn't clear. I previously had a colon cancer patient who underwent surgery here but developed a rather severe case of postoperative urinary retention. After multiple treatments and even catheterization surgery, it wasn't successful.

She went to the City First Hospital but seemingly had no success there either. I asked Director Zhang from the gastroenterology department about it, and there was indeed such a case, and she went there several times but still wasn't cured. Then I heard from her daughter that she was cured by a doctor at your Health Center, so I wanted to inquire if this was true."

Colon cancer surgery?

Urinary retention?

Wang Youqing seemed to have thought of something and looked up, saying, "The patient with urinary retention you mentioned, there indeed was one at the Health Center a few days ago—an old lady. I don't know if her name was Li Qinxue, but if it was postoperative urinary retention after colon cancer surgery, it was indeed treated at our Health Center."

His words caused everyone in the room to be taken aback. Although postoperative urinary retention after colon cancer surgery is not uncommon, it was the first time they'd heard of a case so severe that catheterization surgery couldn't resolve it.

Moreover, based on what Xiao Boheng said, she went to the Ninth Hospital several times without being cured. This wasn't a case of ordinary incompetence.

Everyone knew Xiao Boheng's capabilities, and he was somewhat underappreciated at the Ninth Hospital.

As for Director Zhang of the City First Hospital's gastroenterology department, he was even more of an expert in this field. Yet, both of them couldn't cure the urinary retention, while a doctor from the Health Center did, which was somewhat unbelievable.

Zhou Qihua, who had been listening on the side for a while, chimed in, "Previously, Old Zhang mentioned this case. He was troubled by it for a long time and specifically sought us out to discuss treatment options. At the time, none of us could propose a good solution, and in the end, suggested trying catheterization surgery, but Old Zhang had already tried that to no avail.

I heard from Old Zhang that he advised the patient to perhaps visit a provincial or Beijing hospital. Afterward, it seemed like the patient never returned to the City First Hospital. Old Zhang assumed she went to Beijing, so he stopped following up on her case. In reality, she went to Qiu City's Health Center?"

Initially, everyone thought the patients attended to by Xiao Boheng and Old Zhang from the City First Hospital might not be the same person, but Zhou Qihua's account made everyone's expressions become a bit odd.

When did the Health Center get such a skilled doctor?

They had never heard about it before!

Even those from the Ninth Hospital who had kept in contact with Wang Youqing couldn't help but fix their gazes upon him. Wu Liguo couldn't resist asking, "Old Wang, what's going on? I never heard you mention that such a skilled doctor came to the Health Center. Did an expert from a provincial hospital do a 'Flying Knife' at your Health Center?"

"It wasn't a Flying Knife."

Then what was it if it wasn't a Flying Knife?

Faced with the puzzled expressions, Wang Youqing took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I haven't mentioned it, but they aren't really part of our system. We're all Western medicine practitioners; he's a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor. Plus, Lu hasn't been here long, which is why I haven't brought it up.

Regarding the patient with urinary retention, it was indeed Dr. Lu who treated her. When I first heard it, I was astonished and a bit skeptical, but the next day, the patient brought a banner to Dr. Lu, looking much better. Even if I didn't want to believe it, I had to."

After he finished speaking, Wang Youqing suddenly noticed the room had fallen into a dead silence. He subconsciously glanced around and noticed everyone was staring at him blankly. He couldn't help but ask, "Why is everyone looking at me like that?"

"I'm not lying to you. The whole Health Center knows about it."

After a while, it was still Xiao Boheng who took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that this is indeed a bit beyond belief."

"Old Wang, if you told us it was a Flying Knife from the province that cured it, we wouldn't be so shocked. But you said it was a TCM doctor from your Health Center who did it. Who wouldn't find that astonishing?"

Wu Liguo interjected, "If I remember correctly, wasn't your Health Center's TCM department always inactive? When did it open?"

"It opened just half a month ago."

"Old Wu, don't interrupt. This isn't the time to discuss that."

Xiao Boheng gave Wu Liguo an annoyed look, then turned back to Wang Youqing, "Old Wang, from what you said earlier, it sounds like the doctor is quite young?"

"That's not the main point!" Wu Liguo muttered.

But Xiao Boheng obviously didn't pay attention to him.

Wang Youqing nodded, "He should be about twenty-five or twenty-six this year. I haven't asked specifically, but he's not very old. However, Lu is quite skilled. Since coming to the Health Center, the TCM department has become the most popular department here. He sees seventy to eighty patients a day, and that's even after we've implemented a cap. Otherwise, there'd be more. The TCM department is now relying solely on Lu to manage, and there's barely enough time to handle the crowds."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze toward Wang Youqing became somewhat incredulous.

Seventy to eighty patients a day, which is a number an entire department might see in a day, let alone for TCM. Everyone knows that TCM consultations are slower; much relies on observation and asking questions, unlike Western medicine, where tests and checks can be quickly conducted. Even if follow-up consultations are needed, they don't take nearly as long.
