After making the call and returning to the consultation room, Xiao Ma had already begun the next patient's consultation. Du Heng quietly returned to his seat and picked up the nearby disease record to read.
As lunchtime approached, patients began to arrive one after another. Before one could leave, the next in line would push open the door and enter, leaving the two doctors no time to talk.
About forty minutes later, the consultation room door was pushed open. A nurse from the Chinese Medicine Department entered, holding a sealed bag of medicine. "Director Du," she said.
Du Heng responded with a smile.
The nurse then placed the medicine before Xiao Ma. "Doctor Ma, this is the medicine you just prescribed."
Xiao Ma looked at the nurse and smiled apologetically. "Sister Li, why did you have to bring it over yourself?"
