Chapter 302: Chapter 302 A Large Number of Patients
"My God, Dr. Liu, please don’t deceive us, we’re truly about to be scared to death, and what you’ve said about it being wild makes it even more terrifying."
"Yes, and it seems that only those living on the lower floors heard it, after all, those living higher up couldn’t possibly hear that many sounds."
"Good heavens, what on earth happened that night?"
...
At that moment, they all began discussing it.
Facing such a situation, they had no idea what to do, and didn’t even know whom to believe.
Everyone’s complexion was terrible.
Even Liu Zheng was puzzled in his heart.
"Did someone really see it?"
He was unclear, so he immediately asked another question.
And the several patients in front of him nodded their heads repeatedly.
"Someone really did see it, you could ask them."
"Yes, the neighbors are all talking about it now, you should be able to find out who saw it if you ask around."
"Stop talking about it, I’m too scared to go out at night."
"Mainly because we saw with our own eyes how that old man fainted on the road, it was really too horrifying."
...
Soon they started chatting again.
Meanwhile, there were patients still seeking Liu Zheng for medical treatment.
Liu Zheng couldn’t just stay here gossiping with them.
So, he quickly returned to his original position, ready to take a good look at the next patient.
He thought of inquiring more about the matter during his break.
But unexpectedly, at this moment.
Suddenly, a large number of patients emerged outside the door.
Each one looked very haggard.
Not only that, but they were also constantly coughing.
It was unexpected to see so many people arrive in such a short time.
Hadn’t he already warned them? It was best not to go outside, and also best not to go to work or school.
Why had so many people suddenly appeared?
Moreover, when he went to the street yesterday, he noticed that there were indeed fewer people out.
In theory, they should have listened to his advice.
Why were things like this now?
The people were groaning and complaining non-stop.
"Oh doctor, I really feel awful, please have a look at me quickly."
"Yes, it was so sudden over the course of one night, it’s really too painful."
...
And Liu Zheng was soothing everyone’s emotions.
"Everyone, please don’t panic, I’ll look at each of you one by one, please queue up and don’t cut in line."
It was unexpected that the workload had increased so much in such a short time.
But he was determined to take responsibility for every patient.
So he seriously examined each of them.
But as he examined them, he found that they seemed to have similar symptoms.
Not only that.
He suddenly realized a cruel fact.
Weren’t these the people he saw yesterday?
Especially the ones with more serious conditions.
It looked like they were the ones in the innermost area when the old man collapsed.
After realizing this.
His complexion suddenly worsened.
What on earth was going on?
At that moment, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
He had no idea why everything had suddenly turned out this way.
The patients beside him saw Liu Zheng suddenly become lost in thought, naturally looking very puzzled and immediately began to ask.
"Dr. Liu, what are you doing?"
"Dr. Liu, what’s wrong with you?"
Seeing that everyone was asking, he finally managed to pull his thoughts back.
But at the moment, he didn’t know how to tell them about the thing he had just observed.
For a while, he found it difficult to speak.
He had never imagined that it would turn out like this.
Could it be that the flu everyone was suffering from was connected to the old gentleman?
But why did someone see the old gentleman last night?
Wasn’t he already dead?
One question after another lingered in his mind, leaving him unsure of how to answer.
He even didn’t know how to have a proper conversation with the patients in front of him.
Although they were indeed involved.
But he was also afraid that his words might cause more panic in their hearts.
Finally, the prescriptions had been written for each of them.
And some, with more serious conditions, needed to be put on drips and given injections.
Some people were inherently weak.
Now the symptoms were so severe.
If they relied solely on medication, they might not be able to recover well.
So additional measures had to be taken.
After looking for quite a while, he could finally take a break.
At this moment, he was seriously pondering the question that had just been on his mind.
He wanted to figure out what exactly was going on.
How could things have become like this out of the blue?
It wasn’t until a few patients next to Liu Zheng saw him looking distracted that they began to ask with some concern.
"What’s wrong, Dr. Liu? You seem to look a bit pale. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Yeah, lately it seems like a lot of patients have come in. Are you overwhelmed?"
"Why don’t you take a good rest first?"
Everyone was from the same village, knowing and understanding each other.
Furthermore, Liu Zheng’s medical skills were famously good.
So for minor illnesses and mishaps, they usually turned to Liu Zheng for treatment.
And no matter the problem, Liu Zheng almost always managed to cure them.
So now with such an incident, people had been coming to Liu Zheng’s clinic in droves.
No one thought about going to the hospital especially.
Moreover, the medicine Liu Zheng provided was relatively inexpensive, and his fees were not high.
Thus, he had earned the trust and high praise of everyone.
Otherwise, his clinic wouldn’t possibly have seen so many people in such a short period.
Seeing everyone so concerned about him, he was indeed very moved.
Plus, the question in his mind still didn’t have an explanation.
After giving it some thought, he decided it might be better to have a good talk with everyone.
To see what everyone thought.
After all, as the saying goes, "three heads are better than one Zhuge Liang."
If they could come up with some results from the discussion, perhaps it could be helpful.
So at this moment, he also raised his hand to his mouth, gave a gentle cough, and his expression turned a little more serious.
Seeing him like this, naturally, everyone became even more curious, wondering what was happening.
"Dr. Liu, what’s wrong with you? Why have you started coughing too?"
"Yeah, Xiao Liu, you wouldn’t be sick too, right? You really should rest more. What will we do if you’re out of commission?"
"Right, right, what’s going on?"
