A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 878 Celebrity Lin Dai Comes Seeking Medicine

Hong Kong business owners often engage in superstitious activities when opening a business. A group of smartly dressed executives, holding incense, will worship under the guidance of a Taoist priest, while also inviting a lion dance troupe to cheer them on.

However, the memorial service at Lingnan Hospital was completed three days ago, so today's official opening was mainly a lion dance performance, with loud gongs and drums, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

In addition, the opening ceremony hostess was Linda Lin Dai, the most famous movie star in Hong Kong at that time.

From Lin Sanqi's perspective, Lin Dai was at most elegant, but definitely not beautiful, and far inferior to Lin Sanqi's childhood goddess, Li Lizhen.

However, aesthetic standards change with the times, and nowadays Hong Kong people appreciate this kind of good looks.

Sure enough, when Lin Dai began introducing the guests, the audience erupted in cheers.

People in Hong Kong in the 1960s also idolized celebrities.

Only Lin Sanqi knew that this stunningly beautiful female star would commit suicide next year by overdosing on sleeping pills and inhaling carbon monoxide, all because of her husband's betrayal.

Like Barbara Yung, she's hopelessly infatuated with love.

Director Elliott, along with Lin Kushen and his son Lin Sanqi, stood on the stage and, amidst the flashing lights of reporters, cheerfully cut the red ribbon, marking the official opening of Lingnan Hospital.

Lin Sanqi was a little worried. The advertisement had been launched, and at least several thousand citizens had come to join in the fun today, so the traffic was definitely enough.

However, whether this traffic can be converted into actual patients and money is another matter entirely.

Just like in another era, a certain celebrity promoted products, and the number of viewers on the live stream exceeded 1. The celebrity earned five million just for the appearance fee.

In the end, after calculating the final accounts and including returns, the actual transaction amount was only tens of thousands of yuan, which angered the merchant so much that they sought a refund from the celebrity.

Traffic is meaningless if it cannot be monetized.

As soon as the hospital gates opened, a large crowd surged into the outpatient building.

Lin Sanqi nervously watched the crowd, trying to figure out if there were more onlookers or genuine patients seeking medical help.

The crowd quickly split into two groups, with one group of several hundred people rushing towards the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.

Lin Sanqi thought to himself that Lingnan Hall Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic and Pharmacy were already well-known and had a strong customer base in Temple Street, so he had no worries about this business.

So Lin Sanqi turned her attention to the Western medicine department.

Just then, a pleasant woman's voice suddenly rang out beside him:

"Mr. Lin, excuse me."

Lin Sanqi turned around and saw, oh, isn't this the beautiful Lin Dailin? So he joked:

“Miss Lin, we were from the same clan five hundred years ago, you don’t need to be so polite. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Entertainment stars all possess an innate charm, and Lin Dai smiled with her eyebrows curving:

"Mr. Lin, it's like this, I saw an advertisement in the newspaper saying that you have a newly invented antipyretic and antibacterial drug. I would like to ask if I can jump the queue and buy these two drugs first?"

Lin Sanqi blinked and asked:

"Miss Lin, is someone in your family sick? Don't worry, you are our honored guest, please bring them along, no need to wait in line."

Lin Dai, upon reaching this point, finally abandoned her usual feigned nobility and said with a headache:
“My son is one year old this year. He started having a high fever three days ago and it won’t go down. We’ve been to several hospitals, but there’s been no significant improvement. If I weren’t here today to ask for medicine, I wouldn’t be here for this ribbon-cutting ceremony.”

Lin Sanqi thought to herself that this was right. If a mother only cares about dressing up and going around in style when her son is sick, then she is a very unqualified mother.

If Lin Dai were truly such a heartless and ungrateful person, she wouldn't have committed suicide because of love.

"Miss Lin, when your son went to other hospitals for treatment, did the doctors say what the cause of his illness was? Or did they do any blood tests?"

Lin Dai was clearly prepared, and quickly took out several test reports from her handbag.

Lin Sanqi took a look and saw that the white blood cell and neutrophil counts were very high, clearly indicating inflammation. He then asked:
"Is your son's tonsils infected? The inflammatory markers shouldn't be this high for a common cold."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dai was immediately convinced, realizing that the young boss before her possessed genuine talent.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin, the doctor said my tonsils are inflamed, and there are white spots on them. You're truly amazing." Lin Sanqi smiled and gestured for him to enter.
"Miss Lin, please come this way. I'll personally go get your medicine. The pustular ulcer is quite serious; it definitely requires the most advanced antibiotics for treatment."

Lin Sanqi was somewhat worried about the business of the Western medicine department, so instead of using the staff entrance, she planned to go through the hospital gate to the pharmacy.

As soon as Lin Sanqi entered the hall, he found that there were already five long queues at the registration area, and the scene was as lively as a vegetable market.

Lin Dai smiled and complimented:
"Mr. Lin, this is the first time I've seen so many people in a hospital. It seems that Lingnan Hospital is bound to have a booming business and make a fortune."

Wealthy people usually go to private, high-end hospitals, which are naturally quiet and peaceful. You would never see a scene like a train station during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Seeing so many patients, Lin Sanqi felt relieved, knowing that he had succeeded in the first step and that the month-long advertising campaign had not been in vain.

"Haha, Miss Lin, you can't wish your business good fortune in the hospital, you'll definitely get scolded if the patients hear you."

Lin Dai covered her mouth and smiled, her charming allure unmistakable, instantly stunning the male patients who had been secretly watching from a distance.

The two walked side by side to the pharmacy. Lin Sanqi took a box of ibuprofen oral solution and a box of cefoperazone granules.

"Ms. Lin, give her 3ml of this red liquid at a time, every 6 hours; this cephalosporin is an antibiotic, one packet at a time, twice a day. Don't worry, she will definitely be cured in less than three days."

Whether it's ibuprofen or cefuroxime, they were actually brought from another time and space by Lin Sanqi; only the outer packaging was changed.

An expert can tell from the exquisite packaging and unusual plastic bottle that this medicine is definitely not cheap.

Lin Dai was very grateful and took out her small purse, saying:
"Mr. Lin, how much is it in total?"

Lin Sanqi waved his hand: "I am so grateful that Miss Lin came to help host the opening ceremony, how could I accept money?"

A few dozen yuan is a huge sum for ordinary people, but it's just a drop in the ocean for movie stars, something they don't care about at all.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin. I will definitely bring my son to thank you in person once my son's fever breaks."

Lin Sanqi hesitated, but finally couldn't resist interfering in other people's fates again, so he gave them a word of advice:

"Miss Lin, I come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and I also know how to read faces and tell fortunes. If you believe me, you will face a calamity next July. If you survive it, things will naturally improve; if you don't, I'm afraid..."

So no matter what, think of your son before you act. Forgive my bluntness, but you're young, beautiful, and wealthy; you deserve a better life. There's no need to choose a path of no return for a man. Remember this well.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dai was suddenly startled.

Only family members know their own affairs. Although she appears glamorous on the surface, she married a philandering man who spends his days seeking pleasure outside the home, which truly troubles her.

But this was a family scandal that Lin Dai had never told anyone, yet now this young boss had seen through it.
Lin Dai was a woman who cared a great deal about her image; otherwise, she wouldn't have left a note before her death, instructing her husband:

"If you really want to save me, please don't take me to a public hospital. Just find a private doctor quietly. Thank you!"

So naturally she wouldn't admit it, she just smiled to hide her embarrassment and hurried away.

Looking at the beauty's back, Lin Sanqi thought to himself, "Indeed, beauty is fickle; the obedient girl prefers the blond-haired young man."

From now on, whenever my daughter, Xiao Su Su, is around, no one with the yellow hair should be allowed to be seen within a ten-mile radius.

At this moment, in the internal medicine clinic.

Li Xinghuan was carefully examining an X-ray film. Finally, he put the film down and said to the patient:

"You have a large area of ​​inflammation in your right lung, plus fever, cough, and other clinical symptoms. This is clearly pneumonia, and you need anti-infection treatment. Didn't your doctor at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital tell you that before?"

The patient sighed weakly and said:

"It was the doctor at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital who told me to try your Lingnan Hospital. He said they had been giving me penicillin for five days, but the inflammation hadn't subsided and my fever hadn't gone down. He suggested I try a different antibiotic."

The doctor at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital also said that only Lingnan Hospital, which recently opened, has the newly launched antibiotics in Hong Kong, and that they are useless in the UK.

Doctor, please save me! I'm not short of money, please give me any good medicine you have.

Would doctors at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital be so kind as to recommend patients to other hospitals?
Ultimately, it's the power of money that's at play here. (End of Chapter)
