361 Telling Life or Death by One Glance

Tong Wei's mother was stable. She had been recovering well. After sleeping over in the hospital, she looked much better the next day. Wang Yao went to the hospital to see her.

"You should be fine. We can ask the doctor to discharge you," Wang Yao said.

"Okay," Tong Wei's mother replied.

On his way to the doctor's office, Wang Yao saw a doctor run into the lift.

He frowned.

"What?" Tong Wei asked.

"That doctor doesn't look well," Wang Yao said.

"You mean he's sick?" Tong Wei asked.

"Possibly," Wang Yao said.

He habitually observed and listened to people around him. He noticed the doctor was short of breath. Does he have a heart condition? He was in such a hurry, probably because of one of his patients.

"He may be in danger," Wang Yao said.

"What?" Tong Wei asked with surprise. "Go and tell him."

Wang Yao happened to notice the doctor's name on his name badge. He found the doctor from the receptionist.

There were four doctors in the office.

Wang Yao told the doctor directly why he came to the office.

"What? I'm sick? I'm in danger and need to rest?" The doctor was shocked.

He was annoyed but amused by the two people who came to his office to tell him that he was sick. The other doctors in the office looked at Wang Yao and Tong Wei in a weird way.

However, they all thought Tong Wei was very pretty.

"Are you kidding? I'm a doctor myself!" the doctor exclaimed.

He didn't take Wang Yao's words seriously. He just thought the two of them were crazy.

"I think you should have your health checked. Focus on your heart," Wang Yao said.

"Thank you, guys, but I'm about to do a surgery. The patient is waiting for me. Bye for now," the doctor said.

"It will be too risky for you to do the surgery. You will harm yourself and the patient," Wang Yao said.

He was telling the truth. If the doctor was truly ill and went ahead to do a surgery, which required a lot of energy, he would probably have a heart attack during the surgery. People would easily get sick when they worked too hard. If the doctor had a heart attack during the surgery, he would probably make irreversible mistakes that harmed the patient.

Wang Yao made the suggestion out of his good will.

"Hey, it's none of your business!" The doctor was not happy.

"I..." Wang Yao tried to convince the doctor.

"I don't have the time to speak to you," the doctor said.

Wang Yao realized the doctor would just ignore him.

"Please think about it. I think you should do a check on your cardiovascular system," Wang Yao said. Then, he left with Tong Wei.

"Why didn't he listen to you?" Tong Wei was annoyed.

"If I was him, I probably wouldn't take a stranger's advice, especially if the stranger said I was ill," Wang Yao said. "I'm not surprised."

"But, he will put himself and the patient's life in danger," Tong Wei said.

"I've tried my best. I couldn't force him not to do the surgery," Wang Yao replied.

"How likely will he have a heart attack during the surgery?" Tong Wei asked.

"Highly likely," Wang Yao said.

The more patients Wang Yao had seen, the better he could tell a person's health status through observation. He could diagnose certain patients just through observing his or her look and behavior. He believed the doctor would probably have a heart attack during a surgery that required a lot of energy and concentration.

"Then..." Tong Wei tried to say something.

"Let's go. We've tried our best. It's his destiny," Wang Yao said.

After Wang Yao and Tong Wei had left the doctor's office, the doctors started to talk with one another.

"Hey, did you know those two guys?' one of the doctors asked.

"Of course not. Who knows where they are from," said the doctor who had a heart problem.

"That girl was so pretty," another doctor said.

"Maybe you should get checked," one of the doctors said.

"Check what? The surgery is about to start. I've got two surgeries this afternoon," the doctor with heart problem replied.

Actually, the doctors working in the hospital got regular health checks. If he had a problem, he should have known, which was why he didn't take Wang Yao's warning seriously.

Wang Yao and Tong Wei left the hospital for Tong Wei's home.

Her mother was busy cooking in the kitchen.

"Mom, I've told you to rest. Go back to your bedroom," Tong Wei said.

"I'm fine," her mother with a smile. She felt energetic. Plus, mild exercise made her more comfortable.

"Thanks to you, Yao," Tong Wei's father added.

"It's nothing," Wang Yao said.

Tong Wei was helping her mother prepare the meal while Wang Yao was talking to her father in the living room. Tong Yi, Tong Wei's brother, also was home. Wang Yao had a pleasant lunch with Tong Wei's family.

By the time Wang Yao was about to drive home in the afternoon, he received a call from Pan Jun.

"Did you come to talk to one of our doctors here this morning? You said he was sick and tried to stop him doing a surgery?" Pan Jun asked.

"Yes, what about him?" Wang Yao asked.

"It was really you!" Pan Jun was surprised. "That doctor had a heart attack during the surgery. He didn't survive."

"What about the patient?" Wang Yao asked.

"He had a heart attack at the beginning of the surgery, so another doctor replaced him. The surgery was completed, but there were a few issues during the surgery. The patient is being observed. He is ready to be transferred anytime," Pan Jun said.

"I see," Wang Yao said.

"How could you tell he was not well? You are amazing!" Pan Jun exclaimed.

Every doctor in the town hospital knew about it by now. Initially, the doctors from the same office where the deceased doctor worked were talking about it. They told the other doctors that Wang Yao was treated as a crazy person when he went into the office. However, it proved that Wang Yao was telling the truth. Wang Yao came to warn the doctor out of his good will, but the deceased doctor didn't take Wang Yao seriously. Then, he had a heart attack and died.

"Hey, how would he know?" a doctor from town hospital asked.

"He guessed?" another doctor guessed.

"I don't think so. He didn't look like a fortune teller. Have you seen anyone coming to the hospital to tell fortunes? And, he didn't say much before he left. Maybe he is a wizard," one of the doctors said.

"That's possible, what's his name?" another doctor asked.

The doctors looked at one another. No one knew Wang Yao's name. They didn't bother to ask because they thought he was crazy. Who would ask the name of a crazy person?

"What a shame," one of the doctors said.

The gossip traveled fast. Pan Jun soon found out and thought about Wang Yao immediately for some reason.

"I'll catch up with you when you are available," Pan Jun said.

Pan Jun was curious as to how Wang Yao could tell that deceased doctor had a heart problem. He had met the doctor himself. He heard that Wang Yao knew the doctor had heart problem only by looking at him. Wang Yao didn't do any further checks. He tried to stop the doctor from doing a surgery because the doctor's heart problem was quite severe.

Many people in the hospital asked about Wang Yao. The majority of them were just curious. They gossiped about it. Soon, people would forget about it.

It was after 7 p.m. when Wang Yao arrived at home. He had a visitor, who was similar in age to his father. The visitor had been talking to his father. He had seen the person before, but didn't know him well.

Wang Yao greeted the visitor. He then went inside to wash his face. By the time he came out of his room, the visitor had left.

"Dad, what did he come here for?" Wang Yao asked.

"Nothing big. He just came here for a chat. He heard you can treat illnesses. He wanted to know more about it," Wang Fenghua said.

I'm gonna be really busy from now on.

Wang Yao was prepared to be busier.

"Is Tong Wei's mother okay?" Zhang Xiuying asked.

"She's fine. She'll get better after a few days' rest," Wang Yao replied.

He talked with his parents for a while before giving each of them a massage. Then, he left home for Nanshan Hill.

The weather had become cooler at night, but there were still many people outside. Some of them were playing poker.

"Hi, Yao." Wang Yao was stopped by a person on his way to Nanshan Hill. It was Wang Fengming, who had been nice to him.

"Hello, Uncle Wang." Wang Yao respected this nice and honest person from the bottom of his heart. Wang Fengming helped him when his herbal field and clinic were on fire on two occasions. He sincerely tried to help. Wang Yao wouldn't forget it.

"It seems a lot of people have found out you can treat illnesses. They were asking about you," Wang Fengming said.

"They will know sooner or later," Wang Yao said.

"It's good people from our village know," Wang Fengming said.

Wang Yao got what Wang Fengming implied. Some of the villagers were nice, some were fussy, some were kind, and some where hostile. This was human nature. When talking about Wang Yao, some of the villagers were admiring and some were jealous. No one dared to do any harm to Wang Yao.

After coming back from Nanshan Hill, Wang Yao read Sang Yao Medical Book for a while before going to sleep. The next morning, he opened the system control panel. He found some unexpected changes in one mission.

Two of his patients with difficult-to-treat illnesses had fully recovered.

Who are they? Yang Haichuan's mother or Zhou Wukang?

He called Zhou Xiong and Yang Haichuan's mother right away to ask them to come to his clinic. The two of them arrived in the morning.

Wang Yao reviewed both of them. It was Yang Haichuan's mother who had fully recovered.

"You are fully recovered," Wang Yao said with a smile.

"Really?" The old lady was thrilled. She had noticed herself that she had been feeling well. However, it was still a big relief when she heard it from Wang Yao.

"Xiaokang is getting there," Wang Yao said.

He was sure that Zhou Wukang would fully recover after one more treatment session.

Zhou Wukang didn't need Meridian Unblocking powder. He just needed Wang Yao's Qi.

"Great!" Zhou Xiong was almost in tears.

Wang Yao gave Zhou Wukang one more treatment in the afternoon.

"Come back in three days if you are available," Wang Yao said.

Zhou Xiong and his son didn't stay for long.

"Actually, if possible, I could open a massage clinic," Wang Yao murmured.
