I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 256 - 223: Hundreds Crowd the Clinic Entrance

"Oh my, what's going on? Garden Street is so congested. Where are the traffic cops?"

"What are those people doing up ahead?"

"The cars can't even move. Did something happen?"

"Nothing happened. Haven't you seen Douyin? Dr. Lu went viral again."

"Dr. Lu? Who's that?"

"Look, the spot where they're stuck is Dr. Lu's Clinic. These people are probably here to see him for treatment."

"That's way too many people, there must be hundreds!"

"Well, there's no help for it. The TV station reported that he can treat paralyzed patients, so these people probably came over from the hospital."

"He can treat paralysis? Seriously? Can that really be cured?"

"Yes, you can go look at the TV station's Douyin. They've done three reports. It's completely true."

"..."

These days, even though traditional media is waning, its credibility remains.

Except for a few regional TV stations that have done things to harm their credibility, most TV stations in the country still maintain some good traditions.

At least in terms of faking news, they are not as reckless as self-media.

So, when the TV report came out, after about a week of fermenting, a wave of patients showed up.

This directly led to the congestion on Garden Street.

Hundreds of people gathered in one place—it was quite a scene.

After all, Garden Street was not wide to begin with, and it was often congested even on normal days. Let alone now.

Inside Lu's Clinic, Lu Jiu and the others were quite helpless.

They didn't expect so many people to suddenly show up today.

"Lu Jiu, this isn't looking good. If they continue to pile up like this, there might be a traffic accident," An Xianda said.

It was barely past seven in the morning, and the road was already so blocked that even scooters couldn't pass, let alone cars.

"Why worry? The traffic cops will definitely come to maintain order," Wang Xinda said, curling his lips.

"I'm afraid it won't just be the traffic cops; the police will probably come too. A gathering of hundreds is not a small matter," Zuo Quan said.

"The TV publicity is indeed quite impressive. After the program was broadcast, I thought it was all thunder and no rain, but after just a week, so many people showed up. Tsk tsk tsk, Lu Jiu, it seems you'll have a hard time staying in this small clinic," Lan Mei said.

The others also felt that Lu Jiu's place was indeed too small, and the clinic directly faced the road.

If Lu Jiu's skills were poor and there were fewer patients, it wouldn't matter much.

But Lu Jiu's skills clearly no longer matched the clinic.

If he didn't move, with the current popularity, endless trouble might arise.

Because with more people, conflicts can easily occur, whether verbal or physical, and even injury incidents might happen.

They had worked in big hospitals for over a decade, and even in such formal places, such situations were inevitable.

Moreover, the patients coming to see Lu Jiu directly occupied the road, and some ran over and squeezed in without queuing. It was impossible for nothing to go wrong.

Hearing this, Lu Jiu could only smile wryly.

He never thought he would one day be troubled by too many people coming to see him.

Beep~ beep~

At this moment, a traffic police car drove over.

They, too, received a report and immediately came to Garden Street.

At the same time, a police car also arrived.

Like the traffic police, they received reports about hundreds of people blocking the road on Garden Street.

After asking a few people carefully, the police found that they were all there to see a doctor.

The reason being they saw the TV report and learned that there was a brilliant Chinese medicine practitioner on Garden Street.

After asking a few people and hearing the same words,

they went to Lu's Clinic.

After confirming with Lu Jiu that he indeed cooperated with the TV station for filming, the two police officers began reporting to their superiors.

Because they couldn't make a decision on this matter.

A gathering of hundreds of people was definitely not okay, but the key point was that these people were not purposely gathering; they were all here to see a doctor. You couldn't just chase them away at this time, could you?

If they weren't chased away, however, they were indeed causing a traffic jam, and considering the small clinic's patient capacity, these hundreds of people might be stuck for the entire day.

After reporting, the superiors told them to try their best to persuade the crowd while maintaining the order and ensuring no chaos occurs. They promised to send more police reinforcement soon.

This left the two police officers in a bind; how exactly were they supposed to try their best, and avoiding chaos was not something they could control at will?

Well!

They could only try to maintain order for now and wait for reinforcement.

The two police officers, along with three auxiliary police, started persuading the patients and their families blocking the road, telling them that this Chinese medicine clinic's capacity was limited and even if they continued to queue, they might not get treated today. Instead of waiting in vain, it would be better to come earlier the next day.

After a round of earnest persuasion, some people complied and left, but some didn't listen, and some family members even tearfully pleaded with the police to help them get in ahead as their conditions were really severe.

In short, it was complete chaos on the scene.

As time went by, the congestion on Garden Street didn't ease up.

The traffic in this part of the city was basically paralyzed.

Although the subsequent police reinforcements arrived, the matter had already reached a higher level of leadership.

Even Huang Fusheng and others got wind of it.

"Wow, the teacher called," An Xianda said, raising his phone and immediately pressing the answer button, "Teacher."

"Are you at Lu Jiu's clinic today?" Huang Fusheng asked.

An Xianda replied, "Yes, and so are Brother Dao and the others. Right now, there are hundreds of people blocking the entrance to Lu Jiu's clinic. They are all diagnosing patients with full efforts, but it seems slow because many of their conditions are complicated."

"The most crucial thing is that Lu Jiu's supply of Aconite is almost exhausted. I just called the herb supply base to get them to send more."

Huang Fusheng said, "The city leaders are also aware of this, even Jianghan's top official inquired personally. Lu Jiu's fame is now thoroughly established."

An Xianda was surprised, "Did it reach that level?"

Huang Fusheng said, "I guess something like this hasn't happened in Jianghan for years, plus the creation of a civilized city is underway which is being evaluated. If something happens at this crucial moment, it won't look good for Jianghan. In short, hold on if you can, the government should send personnel to control the scene."

"The hospital on the outer ring is near completion. I also spoke with Jianghan's top official. Once Lu Jiu moves there, this problem should no longer occur."

An Xianda chuckled, "Oh? Is he willing to give up this clinic?"

As he spoke, An Xianda glanced at Lu Jiu, who was focused on diagnosing.

"He hasn't given up, just changed locations," Huang Fusheng didn't spell it out, but An Xianda and the others would eventually find out.

When the hospital is officially built, its name will go up.

By then, everyone will see what the new hospital is called.
