Chapter 753: 753
It seemed that curing him in 10 days was not an easy thing for the patient to accept . He got the herbs, paid the fee, and left . The patient looked distracted and unconvinced . He didn’t take Wang Yao’s words seriously .

Wang Yao had seen those looks many times on his patients, who came to see him after hearing about the amazing things he did . However, they became skeptical and didn’t take him seriously when they saw how young he was . Eventually, most of his patients were convinced once they became better after being treated by him and taking his prescriptions . Most of them felt better in a short time . Of course, there were exceptions . Some patients didn’t follow Wang Yao’s instructions or forgot to take the decoctions after they had been to the clinic . Their conditions became worse .
The fourth patient was not from Wang Yao’s village . He was wearing sunglasses . His condition was different from the others . His left eye was damaged from alkali liquor .
Wang Yao noticed that the patient’s left eye was full of blood and had started to become cankerous . “When did you hurt your eye?”
“About a week ago,” the patient said .
“Didn’t you go to the hospital right away?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, I didn’t pay much attention to it at first,” the patient said .
“What brings you here?” Wang Yao asked .
People with such a condition typically went to a hospital emergency department . Most clinics wouldn’t accept patients like him because his eye probably wouldn’t get better with the application of some medication .
“Well, I heard you are a good doctor, and it doesn’t cost much to get treated here,” the patient said after hesitating for a moment .
“Doesn’t cost much?” Wang Yao smiled . He thought that was probably the reason why the man came to see him .
That’s because you haven’t come across those who spent millions here, he thought .
High-quality items that had a minimal cost usually didn’t exist in the world .
“I can treat your eye condition, but the fee is quite high,” Wang Yao said .
“How much?” asked the man, who was in his 40s .
“At least $1,000,” Wang Yao replied .
“That much?!” The patient was shocked . “Can you charge less?”
“Well, how much do you think your eye costs?” Wang Yao asked with a smile .
Knock! A person came into the clinic .

“Hello, Dr . Wang . ” It was Pan Jun .
“Hello, Pan Jun, don’t you have to work today?” Wang Yao asked .
“No . I’ve got something to deal with at home,” Pan Jun said . “Otherwise, I would have come a bit earlier . Do you have a patient?”
“Yeah . Come here and take a look at his eye,” Wang Yao said .
After examining the patient’s eye, Pan Jun said, “Wow! This is serious . What happened?”
He was in charge of a hospital emergency department . The patients visiting his department were briefly treated before being transferred to other departments . Most patients attending the emergency department had issues requiring immediate medical intervention, such as an injury caused by motor vehicle accidents or sudden passing out .
Pan Jun had come across more than one patient with an eye injury . One of the patients had an eye stabbed by a steel wire dropped from a machine . He was blinded by the steel wire . The hospital briefly treated his eye before transferring him to the eye clinic in Dao . Therefore, occupational health and safety were very important .
“His eye was injured by alkali liquor,” Wang Yao said . “What would the doctors do to him if he was in your hospital?”
After taking a closer look at the man’s eye, Pan Jun replied, “He has to be admitted to the hospital . Surgery is not necessary at this stage . He can have a few injections first to see how he goes . ”
“Who is this?” the patient asked .
“Hello, my name is Pan Jun, head of the emergency department of the People’s Hospital . Dr . Wang is my teacher,” Pan Jun said with a smile .
The patient was in shock . “Are you kidding me? A senior doctor from the People’s Hospital has become a student of a young doctor here?”
Pan Jun laughed .
“Oh well, it doesn’t matter . ” The patient didn’t take Pan Jun’s words seriously .
“How much would it cost for him to get treated in your hospital?” Wang Yao asked .
“That is hard to say,” Pan Jun said . “The cost of a routine examination after admission plus the fee for the bed and medication would be at least $2,000 a week . ”
“Are you doing a two-man comic show?” the patient sarcastically asked . “Well, I think I should leave now . Thank you . ”
The patient stood up and was about to leave when Wang Yao said, “That’s fine with me . Have a good think about it . You should go to the hospital immediately . Otherwise, you’ll be blind in one eye . ”

“OK,” the patient said .
“What does he mean?” Pan Jun asked .
He was surprised to see the patient leaving . He could tell that part of the tissue in the patient’s injured eye had become inflamed . The patient needed immediate intervention . Otherwise, he would be blind in one eye .
“He doesn’t trust me,” Wang Yao said .
“$1,000 is absolutely ridiculous,” the man murmured after leaving the clinic . “The other guy is the head of an emergency department . Seriously? Why didn’t he say he was a specialist from Beijing . Do I look like a fool?”
Maybe I should go to the hospital? the man thought .
“$1,000 to treat his eye is not expensive at all,” Pan Jun said after Wang Yao had told him what happened with the patient .
“I also didn’t think it was expensive, and he would get better immediately,” Wang Yao replied . “But he didn’t trust me . ”
“I think he’ll regret it,” Pan Jun said .
“Everyone has the right to choose the treatment they want,” Wang Yao said . “Can I leave the next patient to you?”
“No problem,” Pan Jun said with a smile .
Meanwhile, in the most luxurious hotel in a city of southern Yunnan, the man sent by Hou Shida’s mother was meeting with Dr . Wu, one of the King Pharmacist’s students .
“Are you ready to go, Dr . Wu?” the man asked .
“Yes,” Dr . Wu replied .
To be honest, he had seen many rich people, but this man was different .
“Can we leave tomorrow?” the man asked .
“Sure,” Dr . Wu said .
“That’s great . I can’t wait,” the man said .

Although he didn’t manage to convince the King Pharmacist to do a home visit in Beijing, he managed to get his student . It was better than nothing .
It was nice the next day . A plane soared into the sky and headed to Beijing .
“This is Beijing?” Dr . Wu asked in a low voice as he looked down at the old and busy city .
“Yeah, it this your first time to visit Beijing?” the man asked .
“Yes,” Dr . Wu replied .
“Welcome,” the man said .
“Thank you,” Dr . Wu said .
It was hot and busy in Beijing .
“Gosh, it’s so hot here,” Dr . Wu said as he walked out of the airport .
“It is hotter here than in your hometown,” the man said .
The weather in Beijing was very different from the small town where Dr . Wu was from . It was burning hot in Beijing . Dr . Wu felt he was breathing fire into his lungs . It was a very unpleasant feeling .
Dr . Wu didn’t have a good first impression of Beijing . Although it was big and busy, he soon got into a luxurious car with air conditioning .
“Shall we go see the patient?” the man asked .
“Sure,” Dr . Wu said .
The car was moving slowly on the congested roads .
“Sorry, it is peak hour now,” the man said .
“That’s fine . I don’t get the chance to see so many cars,” Dr . Wu said .
To be honest, this was his first time to experience such a bad traffic situation .
“Is this city even inhabitable?” Dr . Wu asked as he was looking at the tall buildings made of concrete . The trees along the street were decorated just enough to add some color to the city . He wondered if the place was a city or a huge jail . “This city overwhelms me . ”
“Sorry, what did you say?” the man asked .
“I feel overwhelmed here,” Dr . Wu said . “People living here must be very stressed . The city is so fast-paced . ”
“Really?” the man asked . “You are probably right . Can you feel it in the car?
“Yeah, I can feel it as well as see it . ” Dr . Wu pointed at his eyes .
It took them nearly two hours to get to a hospital .
“Is this the hospital?” Dr . Wu asked .
“Yeah, are you familiar with it?” the man asked .
“I’ve heard about this hospital,” Dr . Wu said .
“The patient is inside,” the man said .
The two of them entered the hospital and met with Ms . Li, who had been waiting .
“Ma’am, this is Dr . Wu, one of King Pharmacist’s students,” the man said .
“Hello, Dr . Wu . Thank you for coming all the way here . ” Ms . Li was trying to be as polite as she could since she was a member of a prestigious family .
“You are welcome, as long as we both get what we need,” Dr . Wu honestly said .
“Good,” Ms . Li said with a smile . She liked honest people .
