Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Public Opinion

As soon as this news broke out, the entire Traditional Chinese Medicine community was shocked.

Even the entire medical world of Southern Capital, as well as the upper-class society, were stunned.

It was just a few days ago that the leader of the Southern Faction of Traditional Chinese Medicine was confirmed, and the news about this matter is still at the top of many websites.

This was considered the biggest news in the medical world recently, but who could have expected such a scandal in just a few days?

On the internet, many people were discussing this fervently.

”I said it, what makes him qualified to be the leader of the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine faction at only twenty years old!”

”He surely is a quack.”

”I wonder what he used to deceive the old seniors in the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine community!”

”In a few days, it will be the medical competition between the Southern and Northern factions. It’s unexpected that something like this happened right before it.”

”This time, the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine faction has lost face completely. In the future, I fear they won’t be able to lift their heads in the presence of the Northern faction!”

”...”

The online discussions about this incident were naturally one-sided.

Those people were scolding Lin Dong as a quack, and mocking the practitioners of the Southern Faction Traditional Chinese Medicine for their poor judgment in choosing such a leader.

At the moment, Lin Tiance, Li Yanran, Wang Xiuxin, and Xu Ying were sitting on the hall’s sofa in the mansion where Lin Tiance was temporarily staying in Southern Capital.

The TV was broadcasting news about Lin Dong causing a patient’s death.

On the news, there were overwhelming criticisms against Lin Dong.

Even many former supporters among the old TCM doctors were coming forward to scold him.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiuxin couldn’t help but laugh hysterically.

Li Yanran, seeing this, couldn’t help but say,

”Brother Xiuxin, isn’t what you did a bit... despicable?”

She had intended to say that this behavior was disgraceful and low, but in the end, she held back and didn’t say it out loud to save him some face.

However, Wang Xiuxin laughingly said, ”What’s despicable or not, I only care about the result.”

”Right now, it’s clear that the result is good. Lin Dong’s reputation has been completely destroyed.”

”For a doctor, reputation is most important. Without reputation, forget about assuming the role of the leader of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese medicine, even becoming an ordinary doctor in the future will be impossible because nobody will trust him anymore.”

Saying this, he couldn’t help but laugh again.

Lin Tiance also nodded in agreement.

”It looks like your Northern Faction is certain to win the medical competition this time. With Lin Dong in trouble like this, I fear he has lost even the qualification to participate!”

”Hahaha...” Wang Xiuxin laughed uncontrollably, clearly in a good mood.

He even asked Xu Ying to bring over a few bottles of champagne.

After opening the champagne, he and Lin Tiance toasted and started drinking.

At Southern Capital Hospital.

Right now, several reporters had flooded into Southern Capital Hospital.

All of these reporters headed to the department where Lin Dong worked.

”May I ask where Lin Dong is? Is it true what the outside world is saying about him causing someone’s death?”

”Can he come out for an interview? We want to ask him how he got the identity of the Traditional Chinese Medicine leader?”

”Is he indeed the leader of Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine, or is he an executioner?”

”Is he hiding because he’s afraid after causing a death, so he dares not come out?”

”...”

The reporters cornered any doctor or nurse they saw to inquire.

The doctors and nurses all had a bitter smile on their faces.

”Sorry, we do not know the details.”

”As for Doctor Lin Dong, he is not in the department right now.”

”Please don’t block the area here, this is a hospital. Your actions could affect our ability to treat patients.”

”...”

However, these reporters didn’t care about that.

At this moment, the Vice President stepped in.

Seeing the Vice President appear, all the reporters rushed towards him.

”Vice President, may I inquire about Lin Dong’s whereabouts? What exactly happened? Did Doctor Lin really cause someone’s death?”

The Vice President looked at the swarming reporters and sternly said,

”Everyone, we are still investigating the specific details of the incident. As for Doctor Lin Dong, the hospital has temporarily suspended his position!”

”The specific results will be announced on the day of the medical competition between the Southern and Northern factions. At that time, Doctor Lin will also make a personal appearance!”

”Now, ladies and gentlemen, this is a hospital. Please do not interrupt the normal duties of our other doctors! Kindly leave.”

The Vice President’s vague response fueled various speculations among the reporters.

Suspended?

Does that mean Lin Dong did indeed cause someone’s death?

Otherwise, why would the hospital need to suspend him?

The reporters were already thinking about how to draft their articles!

Deputy Director of Traditional Chinese Medicine Department Chen Tong witnessed this scene and it caught his attention.

Last time, he lost face because he confused the identity of the Traditional Chinese Medicine leader.

To this day, many people still mock him for that.

He always remembered this incident, but due to Lin Dong’s identity as the leader of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, he was angry but dared not speak out.

Now, things were different.

Upon learning that Lin Dong was in trouble, he was the first to gloat over Lin Dong’s misfortune.

”Lin Dong, oh Lin Dong, with a reputation like yours, are you even fit to be our leader of Chinese Medicine?”

”This time, your leadership position is about to end!”

With such a scandal unfolding, Chen Tong believed that the old seniors in the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine community would surely strip Lin Dong of his leadership title.

Moreover, even if the patient’s family didn’t pursue it and he didn’t end up in prison, he would no longer be able to practice as a doctor.

Having caused a death and becoming news headlines, who would seek him out for treatment in the future?

Thinking of this, even the thought of going to work didn’t appeal to him. He just wanted to find a bar and drink a few bottles of champagne to celebrate.

At this moment, Lin Dong’s phone was exploding with calls.

Those calls were coming from seniors within the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine community.

They were asking Lin Dong what exactly happened...
