Chapter 548: Chapter 548

Nowadays many people, when releasing captive animals, don't care much about the specifics, they just release whatever they have at hand.

The abbot of Panlong Temple, Jue Kong, was just unlucky and then got bitten by a king cobra.

After Su Fan administered emergency treatment to the abbot, he had Jue Kong carry the abbot on his back and return with him to the affiliated hospital.

By the time he drove the abbot and Jue Kong to the affiliated hospital, there was indeed already a group of medical staff waiting.

Su Fan is now the marquee signboard of the affiliated hospital, the pillar of the institution.

Zhang Haitao thought that Su Fan saving Panlong Temple's abbot was utterly superfluous.

But since Su Fan had decided to save someone, his side, of course, needed to provide support.

Soon, the abbot was taken into the emergency room.

The incident was also disclosed to the television station by the onlookers.

After all, it's rare for monks to appear in the public eye, and for an institution like the affiliated hospital to organize a massive amount of medical resources to treat a monk, such occurrences are very rare anywhere.

Some journalists from the television stations shortly arrived upon receiving the whistle-blower's information.

It so happened that the director of the affiliated hospital, Zhang Haitao, was at the hospital entrance.

After numerous media journalists arrived, they naturally went straight to Director Zhang to inquire.

"Hello, Director Zhang, I'm Xiao Yu, a reporter from Yang City Evening News, may I interview you about the incident earlier?"

Zhang Haitao didn't take Su Fan's rescue of the monk seriously at first.

But he hadn't expected that the media would actually take an interest in such matters.

Since they were interested, it was clearly a good opportunity to promote the hospital and publicize Su Fan.

He now not only invited Su Fan over to his house for meals occasionally to strengthen their relationship,

but he also needed to tie Su Fan to the affiliated hospital in their external publicity.

Otherwise, other private hospitals or those within the province could offer very high salaries and directly poach Su Fan away.

Thus, Zhang Haitao cleared his throat and spoke up: "Dear media friends, ask any questions you have."

The reporter called Xiao Yu immediately asked upon hearing this:

"Director Zhang, I heard that your hospital has just mobilized a large amount of medical resources to save a monk. What's the story behind that?"

Zhang Haitao thought for a moment and said, "Here's the thing; the abbot of Panlong Temple was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the situation was very serious."

"A monk from Panlong Temple came to our hospital, expressing their financial difficulties."

"It's quite common for the hospital to face this type of situation."

"Whenever we encounter such cases, we generally try to reduce the costs as much as possible."

"Even so, Panlong Temple was still unable to afford the treatment costs."

"But life is of paramount importance. When Su Fan, the associate chief physician of our hospital's emergency department, heard about the patient's condition, he immediately went to Panlong Temple."

"While Associate Chief Physician Su Fan was providing emergency treatment to the patient at Panlong Temple, our hospital's emergency room also prepared to take over the rescue efforts."

"As for the abbot of Panlong Temple's treatment expenses, according to what I learned from the emergency room not long ago, Associate Chief Physician Su Fan has already paid them in advance."

As Zhang Haitao finished his speech, the surrounding media reporters and a large number of onlookers started applauding.

Amid the crowd, there were also cheers of approval.

Although Su Fan had previously saved a wealthy tycoon like Yan Henglong, despite his exceptional medical skills, aside from professionals, most people didn't really care.

After all, they weren't business magnates like Yan Henglong; they clearly couldn't afford sky-high consultation fees to have Su Fan treat them when they fell ill.

But this time was different, Su Fan actually went to the mountain's Panlong Temple and saved a monk whose life was hanging by a thread.

Moreover, when the other party was in financial difficulty and unable to bear the treatment costs, Su Fan even made an upfront payment!

Consequently, those who knew the news naturally cheered for Su Fan.
