Chapter 821: Chapter 824: Discussion
Although the authoritative doctor tacitly agreed, the traditionally obstinate fourth doctor opposed, saying, "Brother, we can’t let them be so reckless. Our Medicine King Valley treats patients based on trust, this rule has remained unchanged since ancient times, and cannot be broken."
At this moment, the third doctor spoke up, "Even though Xue Eleven’s medical skills are not up to par, I feel his words make sense. If our Medicine King Valley continues not treating people, I’m afraid our medical skills will regress."
"How come Eleven’s medical skills are not up to par?" This statement displeased Xue Eleven’s master.
"If he’s capable, why couldn’t he tell whether the child was poisoned or not?"
"There are countless types of poisons, they’re not so easily identified."
"Old Five, you’re just arguing. If it’s about identifying which poison it is, that’s understandable, but not even being able to determine if poisoning occurred, that’s unreasonable. Doesn’t that prove his medical skills are lacking?"
"..."
"..."
As they argued here, the obstinate fourth doctor still insisted on opposing, "Stop quarrelling, anyway I believe we shouldn’t break the rules set by our ancestors. There are quite a few patients who come with letters, and that’s enough for everyone to treat. Why must we break the rules set by the ancestors?"
The words of Xue Eleven’s fourth doctor made them stop arguing, yet instead turned the attack on him.
Third doctor: "Old Four, you’re like a frog at the bottom of a well. There are countless diseases, and patients coming with letters are still few, it doesn’t allow everyone to understand more disease types."
Second doctor: "Old Four, are you afraid that your disciples can’t tell if the child is poisoned? Afraid of losing to us?"
Fourth doctor: "My disciples’ medical skills are top-notch, better than Xue Eleven."
Eleven’s master: "That’s quite arrogant of you. Your disciples aren’t better than Eleven, why don’t you let them try? They may not be able to tell."
Fourth doctor: "I won’t compete with you. My disciples won’t violate the rules of Medicine King Valley. Brother, speak to them."
The authoritative doctor continued to maintain silence, leaving others guessing his thoughts.
Then, the third doctor spoke again, "Since we’ve talked so much, Brother, let’s discuss this matter today. If our Medicine King Valley continues like this, it won’t work. I feel Xue Eleven’s words today make perfect sense. The purpose of learning medicine is to treat people, isn’t it? Yet our Medicine King Valley turns away patients, regardless of their fate, is this what a doctor should do?"
"If we continue like this, we’ll really become frogs at the bottom of a well, our medical skills won’t match the outside doctors. It’s better to take this opportunity to change this rule."
"How can this be? How can the rules set by the ancestors be changed just like that?" The obstinate fourth doctor still held an opposing attitude.
At this moment, the third doctor shouted, "Have you all forgotten why Old Six wandered outside and was unwilling to return to the Valley, why he never practiced medicine again?"
Once these words were spoken, the room instantly turned quiet, everyone’s expression turned grim because they all thought of the wandering Old Six.
After a moment, the obstinate fourth doctor spoke, "Brother, say something, what should be done about this matter?"
The ever-silent doctor finally spoke, "We will discuss this matter later, but first, let’s treat that child."
"Brother?" For this decision, Xue Eleven’s fourth doctor was clearly dissatisfied.
