Chapter 793: Otherwise, leave the medical world

What did Gu Beiyue just say?

Silence fell upon the crowd for a long while before Department Head Huo suddenly burst into laughter. “Gu Beiyue, what big words! Do you know what you just said?”

“Department Head Huo didn’t understand me, did you? I can repeat myself,” Gu Beiyue retorted.

Although his tone was polite and gentle as always, Han Yunxi could clearly sense the strength from his tone. Within his warmth was an unmistakable pressure. Gu Qishao rubbed his chin with interest as he examined Gu Beiyue. He too, seemed doubtful of the man’s claims.

Department Head Huo sucked in a cold breath. “No need. This old man heard loud and clear.” As he spoke, he looked over at the crowd and asked loudly, “Did anyone not hear Doctor Gu’s words just then?”

Just then, Gu Beiyue had claimed he could diagnose and treat Department Head Huo, Lin, and Ouyang’s patients. Everyone in the crowd, including the new mother’s family within the courtyard, heard his every word.

No one responded to Department Head Huo’s question. 

“Since no one answered, then this old man will assumed everyone understood!” Department Head Huo looked towards Clan Head Ren with an icy smile. “Clan Head Ren, your judging panel should have heard too, right? What now?”

Clan Head Ren had wanted Gu Beiyue and Han Yunxi to explain their treatment just then and help his daughter win some publicity. Who knew that the three department heads would be so anxious to continue the competition? It was already a record in medical academy history that Gu Beiyue had resolved an obstructed labor case with multiple births, to say nothing of how he’d saved the mother’s strange case of uncontrollable bleeding afterwards. As long as Gu Beiyue and Han Yunxi could explain how they’d done it and the treatment method in detail, this illness would be given a name and recorded as a classic case within the Cloud Realm Medical Annals and Compendium of Obstetrics. The greatest contributions to the medical world was not discovering new illnesses, but finding successful treatment methods.

As the main doctor in the charge of the case, Gu Beiyue’s rank would skyrocket from fifth to seventh directly, making him on par with the three department heads. Even Han Yunxi, who had never studied at the medical academy before and had no rank, could be considered a fourth or fifth rank after this case. His daughter, as an assisting doctor, would naturally be included in the promotions. 

Naturally, the scales in Clan Head Ren’s heart were tipping.

Once we take care of the medical skills competition, we can slowly discuss the matters of the obstructed labor illness. If we do it now, it might give second thoughts to the three department heads and the rest of the judging panel, Clan Head Ren mused privately. 

Since the competition had paused during the obstructed labor case and couldn’t count for its results, he had no qualms about discussing it later.

“All of us understood. Since Doctor Gu’s said so, it’s not impossible for him to take on your patients,” Clan Head Ren coughed a few times. When he saw no objections from the rest of the judging panel, he continued. “But the judging panel needs to verify one thing first. May I ask the three department heads whether you’ve come up with any diagnosis or treatment plans for your patients yet?”

The three department heads had vied with each other for over a decade within the medical academy. Today, they were standing together in a rare united front. After exchanging glances, it was Department Head Ouyang who spoke up first. “This old man hasn’t fully understood the condition yet; being prudent, I dared not make a diagnosis.”
