Chapter 971 First Patient Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Lu Qinming and the other doctors were left completely stunned by the nurse’s announcement.
They had assumed that the ‘supreme VIP’ treatment room would remain vacant for a considerable length of time, but now it seemed that someone had arrived to use it before it was even properly prepared.
They couldn’t fathom who this person could be and why they were willing to pay such a colossal sum of money.
Lu Qinming couldn’t help but feel skeptical about the situation. After all, one million yuan was no small sum, even for those with severe medical conditions. And as a recently promoted doctor, was Su Jing really capable of providing such exceptional care?
Could he be trusted with the life of a wealthy patient who could afford to pay such a substantial fee?
“Alright then, let’s get everything prepared for the patient’s arrival,” Lu Qinming instructed the nurse.
“Understood,” The nurse replied before scurrying back to make the necessary arrangements.
Lu Qinming took out his phone and called Su Jing to inform him. However, Su Jing was still at home and needed some time to come over.
Soon, a female nurse brought a middle-aged couple and a boy over. The boy walked in the middle, with the middle-aged couple holding his left and right hands. His eyes appeared somewhat dull.
Lu Qinming personally received them, inquired about the situation, and made a preliminary diagnosis. It turned out that this little boy had Eye issues related to blindness, commonly known as optic atrophy or optic nerve atrophy, and glaucoma in Western medicine.
It is a chronic eye disease that causes severe vision loss and may even lead to blindness. This boy’s glaucoma was quite severe, and although he had not yet gone blind, his vision was already very blurry.
This middle-aged couple was also careless. They were busy doing business to make money but neglected to care for their son. At first, they didn’t notice that their son’s eyesight had deteriorated.
When they finally discovered the real problem, it was already quite serious. They went to the hospital for treatment, but the effect was minimal, and there were even some signs of their son’s vision worsening. So, they were now very anxious.
“The problem is indeed quite serious and it needs to be treated as quickly as possible,” Lu Qinming said. To be honest, this boy’s problem was quite tricky, and the main reason why it got so bad was that it was discovered too late.
“This is why we came to find Mr. Su. We heard that Mr. Su not only can treat it but he can also restore my son’s vision to normal or even improve it, to 5.3,” The middle-aged woman said.
“You… Who told you that?” Lu Qinming was stunned.
The other doctors next to him also had nothing to say. It should be noted that optic atrophy is a chronic disease, and the damage to the optic nerve is permanent. Necrotic nerve cells cannot be regenerated.
The treatment can only repair damaged nerve cells that have not yet died and effectively control further damage. Once the disease occurs, complete recovery is almost impossible.
If it is discovered in time, the harm can be reduced to an imperceptible level, but if it is discovered too late, there will still be some damage after being cured.
Now that the boy’s illness was so severe that even if it was cured, nearsightedness was inevitable. It was almost impossible to restore normal vision, let alone improve it or for it to reach 5.3. This was simply a pipe dream.
So, to Lu Qinming and the others, the middle-aged woman’s words were simply absurd. Even after treating optic atrophy, directly restoring normal vision was impossible, let alone improving it.
Even undergoing nearsightedness surgery afterward was not feasible because there were requirements and it was not suitable for people with serious eye diseases or a history of eye surgery.
However, this middle-aged couple seemed to really believe it. This was how rumors could harm people. Su Jing couldn’t have done any false advertising to attract patients, could he? If that were the case, the problem would be quite serious.
“That… it’s impossible for the vision to improve to 5.3 after treatment. Forget that, it’s unlikely that your son’s vision will ever fully recover. However, we will try our best to treat and protect your son’s vision as much as possible,” Lu Qinming said.
“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean Mr. Su can’t. We’ve paid one million upfront and applied for the VIP area. Shouldn’t Mr. Su be in charge of the treatment?” The middle-aged man frowned as he spoke.
“Even if Mr. Su comes, this is something that is impossible to achieve. It’s a serious problem that no one in the medical world can solve. At least I am the chief physician and won’t say anything wrong,” Lu Qinming patiently explained.
“I’m not talking to you, I’m only talking to Mr. Su,” The middle-aged man stubbornly said.
Lu Qinming was feeling very helpless at this moment and he continued to explain, but the middle-aged woman and man wouldn’t listen to him and they became more and more agitated.
At this moment, Su Jing finally arrived and said as he walked in, “Teacher Lu, didn’t I tell you that all patients who apply to enter the supreme VIP area, unless there is an emergency, will be treated by me.”
“I didn’t plan to treat him, but they seem to have a wrong idea. They think that after suffering from such a severe case of blue blindness anorexia, their son’s vision can fully recover after treatment, so I can’t help but correct them to prevent them from causing trouble after treatment,” Lu Qinming said.
“Who said that their son’s vision cannot be fully recovered after treatment? Don’t rush to draw conclusions for me,” Su Jing said, which made Lu Qinming and the other doctors widen their eyes.
“Mr. Su, you finally came. My son’s illness…” The middle-aged couple stood up immediately upon seeing Su Jing and hurried to speak.
“Don’t worry, I will do my best to treat your son and try to restore his vision to normal,” Su Jing said.
Lu Qinming and the other doctors had nothing to say. How can vision be received to normal even with such a severe case of blue blindness anorexia and in the case where treatment is difficult?
Did Su Jing really make false claims to make this middle-aged couple believe in him? But what if, after the treatment, the blue blindness anorexia is cured but the vision does not fully recover? They will be dissatisfied and make a scene.
They can’t do anything so they decided to see how Su Jing will handle it.
