Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: The Extraordinary Patient

"President Qi, what’s going on here? Is there something big happening again?"
Wei Yuan also noticed that something seemed off and approached Qi Wentai curiously to ask.
"We just admitted a high-profile patient who is a fortune-teller. He seems to have casually told the nurses a few things, and he’s pretty accurate," Qi Wentai said.
"Then why is he here with us?" Liu Banxia asked.
"He had a minor accident while driving and bumped his forehead," Qi Wentai said.
"Then this tough admission task was taken on by Liu Yiqing. But I have to say, his predictions are really accurate."
Hearing his words, even Liu Banxia was intrigued, as there was an air of mystery. Qi Wentai wouldn’t help in spreading the word like this unless the patient was really something.
"Teacher Liu, this patient is truly something else. He even knows that Sister Qian had three boyfriends, including one from high school," Xu Yino excitedly ran over.
"Are you sure he’s not just guessing?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.
"At first, I thought he was guessing, but then he congratulated Qingqing on moving house. What’s your take on this?" Xu Yino asked.
"Uh... well... maybe he overheard you talking? Isn’t it said that fortune-tellers observe behavior and combine it with surrounding information and questions?" Liu Banxia hesitated.
"It shouldn’t be. Apart from Qingqing and me chatting a little, nobody else is interested in our stuff," Xu Yino said.
"And with the busy admission tasks, nobody has the energy for idle chatter. Anyway, I find this situation quite mysterious. Why don’t you give it a try, then?"
"By the way, I secretly watched just now. This patient is really mysterious, sometimes mumbling to himself, as if talking to someone, just giving an uneasy feeling."
At this point, Liu Yiqing and the patient came out of the treatment room. What surprised Liu Banxia was that he thought the patient would be much older, but the young man seemed only about twenty-five or six.
"Doctor, now that the stitching is done, I should be fine, right? After all, there’s nothing much wrong with me," the patient said with a smile.
"Are you sure you don’t need a CT scan?" Liu Yiqing asked.
The patient shook his head, "I don’t have any of those symptoms you mentioned, and you just checked with your penlight; my vision is fine."
After speaking, the patient slightly tilted his head, his mouth moving, but nothing could be heard. Xu Yino nudged Liu Banxia, indicating this was what she meant, looking quite mysterious.
Perhaps because Liu Banxia and Xu Yino were too focused, the patient also noticed them, giving them a glance and nodding with a smile.
"Hello, actually, for vehicle trauma patients, we typically recommend doing a brain CT. Because bleeding or edema could appear later on," Liu Banxia said as he stepped forward.
Now that they were discovered, there was no need for stealth, being open was better.
"Actually, my thoughts are clear now, without dizziness or headaches. If it weren’t for the deep wound here, I wouldn’t have come to the hospital," the patient said.
After speaking again, the patient repeated the previous action, as if talking to someone, only his voice was so low that even Liu Banxia, standing close, couldn’t hear.
"Are you curious about us? Thinking we’re just deceivers promoting superstition?" Noticing his gaze, the patient asked with a smile.
Liu Banxia nodded, "Curiosity, yes, but no other thoughts. I heard you could see how many times our nurse had boyfriends."
"I wouldn’t say ’see,’ more like a feeling. Sometimes the feeling comes, and I can be very accurate. If that feeling doesn’t come, even if you pay me, I won’t say a word."
"Like you, I can see you’re a leader. But if you ask me to say more, I can’t really tell. Hmm... not quite right, congratulations."
With his sudden congratulations, Liu Banxia paused, looking at Liu Yiqing.
Quickly, Liu Yiqing shook her head, indicating she hadn’t said anything.
"Congratulations on what?" Liu Banxia asked.
The patient laughed, "Both of your children will be very healthy."
As soon as he said this, Qi Wentai and the others were quite shocked.
They knew Qiaoqiao was expecting twins, but nobody had discussed it casually, so how did this patient know?
"Is this feeling that just came?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.
"Yes, the feeling just came. I also know that three people will die in your hospital today, probably those visiting for treatment, it seems," the patient said.
After speaking, again he slightly tilted his head, mumbling.
Similarly, Liu Banxia still couldn’t hear clearly.
"Teacher Liu, there was a car accident patient early yesterday morning who didn’t survive," Xu Yino said.
"What about those people in the hospital? How’s that severe pancreatitis patient?" Liu Banxia asked.
"When I went in the morning, the indicators were quite stable without signs of deterioration," Xu Yino said.
Even though they spoke so openly, the patient didn’t mind. He’s seen this sort of thing often; he just has a feeling about it.
"Su Wenhao, why do you look so downcast coming back?" At this moment, Liu Banxia saw Su Wenhao coming out of the elevator and quickly shouted.
"Teacher Liu, the student who had a sudden death and was resuscitated didn’t make it this time; he’s really gone," Su Wenhao said.
"Hiss..."
Liu Banxia took a sharp breath.
If this patient can really predict things that accurately, does that mean there’s another death spot at the emergency center today? In his heart, he didn’t want to believe it, but when faced with such a situation, it’s hard not to think about it.
The patient’s smile remained calm, now giving off an otherworldly aura. Of course, one would have to ignore the injury on his forehead.
"Then can you help me feel whether I can win if I buy a lottery ticket?" Xu Yino asked.
"That’s really not possible. It’s best not to buy. You’ll probably have quite a lot of expenses soon, so save what you can," the patient said.
Hearing his words, Xu Yino became quite depressed. Did he sense that too? Does he know I’m going to buy a house?
Liu Banxia was unsure of what to think now; it really seemed like this patient had some real abilities.
At this moment, the patient tilted his head, lips moving for quite some time.
Liu Banxia slightly frowned; he wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but it seemed like he heard "Ya," and nothing else clearly.
If that’s the case, the previous judgment needs to be reconsidered. Could the patient be experiencing hallucinations or auditory delusions, rather than deliberately being mysterious?
"How long has this been happening?" Liu Banxia suddenly asked.
"What situation?" the patient replied, puzzled.
"Are you able to see or hear things that we can’t?" Liu Banxia asked.
The patient readily nodded, "Exactly, otherwise, how could I help others look at things and figure stuff out? I don’t know fortune-telling; they just tell me."
"But when I tell others, no one believes me. Then they told me this is being a ’Chuma’, I am a ’Chuma Xian’. It sustains me, and I can earn some money; it’s not too bad," he said.
"If that’s the case, I really suggest you get a brain CT scan. We should pay attention to such phenomena like hallucinations or auditory delusions," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Even if it involves some supernatural aspects, as doctors, we can’t just speak to others in that way. You can understand that, right?"
"Alright, then I’ll get one. Will it be quick? I have some things to do this afternoon," the patient said.
"Very quick. Liu Yiqing, you can go ahead and write the order," Liu Banxia nodded.
The patient was also straightforward, having already agreed to the CT scan, he would go pay once the order was written.
"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu, what’s going on here? Is he a fox fairy or an immortal?" Xu Yino curiously asked.
Liu Banxia rolled his eyes, "How would I know? With symptoms of auditory and visual hallucinations, the chance of a brain issue is very high."
"Then why is what he says so accurate?" Xu Yino pursued.
"You ask me, who do I ask? Let’s wait for the CT results, then you all should keep an eye on it and observe how many spots are available today," Liu Banxia said.
Everyone nodded collectively. They were also very concerned about this matter.
If it’s really accurate, there will be another patient incident, which means there will only be one such incident.
"This really is a bit mysterious. Do you think it’s a brain tumor?" Wei Yuan asked.
"Something like that, I can’t think of any other possibility," Liu Banxia answered.
"But we must seriously consider what Xu Yino said about the situation. How can he be so accurate? Brother Wei, have you ever received such a miraculous patient before?"
Wei Yuan shook his head helplessly, "I’ve admitted patients who claim to tell fortunes, but they weren’t this accurate. There was even one with acute appendicitis, and he didn’t ’predict’ that in advance."
"These things are sometimes really hard to understand. Let’s see. Inform me once the CT results come out, I’m very curious," Wei Yuan said.
Liu Banxia laughed, "Sure, let’s take a good look then. Actually, if it weren’t for him mentioning the child, I wouldn’t be so invested. Truthfully, I’m really hoping he has some abilities, as it would mean Qiaoqiao and the baby will be healthy."
Wei Yuan patted his shoulder, "All expectant fathers are like this. Even as a doctor, you’re still an expectant father. Hang in there; it’ll be fine after the child is born, and then you’ll cherish it immensely."
Liu Banxia nodded, feeling a strong interest in this unique patient no matter what.
