21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 142 The Doctor is Not a God (2nd update, asking for subscriptions, asking for monthly tickets!)

since he had promised his girlfriend that he would resolve the issue with daimon michiko from years ago, chen yu naturally would not stumble. before jounouchi hiromi even left his office, he had taken out his phone and placed a call to fengjian chongsheng, the director of kazama pharmaceuticals.

resolving the issue with daimon michiko could be simple or complex, depending on how one looked at it.

initially, the person daimon michiko had offended was the president of the japan medical association, essentially the head of all doctors in japan. offending such a high-ranking official naturally resulted in having her medical license revoked, and even implicated jounouchi hiromi.

to resolve this issue, one would have to overturn the decision made by the previous president of the medical association, which certainly wasn’t something just anyone could achieve. however, if one were to use their connections and reach out to the current president, the task wouldn’t be too difficult.

chen yu had already inquired and found out that the current president of the medical association did not have a harmonious relationship with his predecessor, nor were they from the same faction. in theory, there shouldn’t be any obstacles to resolving the matter—all he needed to do was leverage relations and convince the current president of the medical association to do him a favor.

speaking of leveraging relations, the best candidate among chen yu’s acquaintances for this sort of task was the fox-like fengjian chongsheng.

of course, fengjian chongsheng was not the only person who could manage this; kyuuzai ryousen’s father, kyuuzai go, the president of kyuuzai pharmaceuticals, as well as executive sato from shunten-do, who had previously invited chen yu to a meal, were both capable of speaking with the current president of the medical association.

even professor kube could smooth things over if he were willing to call upon some of his connections.

after all, chen yu was now a prospective nobel prize for medicine laureate, and as long as he had not offended the current president of the medical association, it would not be difficult for the other party to extend a courtesy to him and establish a good relationship.

however, fengjian chongsheng, the old fox, was clearly more skillful in handling such matters and given his status and his relationship with chen yu, he was more suitable for the task.

after completing the phone call, chen yu turned his attention to jounouchi hiromi. "all right, director kazama has agreed to help contact the current president of the medical association. there shouldn’t be any issues, and daimon-san’s problem should be resolved shortly.

however, such patients are actually a minority. the majority of patients that doctors face are those who, amidst fear and desperation, hope that the doctor can extend a helping hand, cure them, save their lives, and free them from the torment of illness.

naturally, doctors respond to the patients’ expectations in this way.

just like there are outliers among patients, it’s not to say there are no bad apples among doctors. still, the vast majority of doctors are striving with all their might to treat every patient in front of them, hoping to cure them, save their lives, and free them from the torment of illness.

but doctors are human, not gods.

there is no doctor who dares to claim they can cure all diseases, nor is there any who dare to say they can save everyone...

chen yu’s grandmother was a venerable eighty-year-old doctor specializing in infectious diseases. infectious diseases refer to the medical specialization that deals primarily with the prevention and treatment of various infectious and parasitic diseases.

when chen yu’s grandmother was practicing medicine, china had not yet established a robust medical system. in those times, not to mention the rural areas, even the town medical systems were not fully developed, and the issue of infectious diseases was a very serious problem.

diseases spread by unsanitary living habits were common. cases like the little girl chen yu had treated, whose spleen was filled with parasite eggs, were not unusual at that time. it wasn’t rare for someone to have their abdomen swollen as if they were pregnant due to harboring parasites...

chen yu heard more than once from his grandmother about her experiences treating people in the countryside when he was a child. yet, most of these stories were filled with regret—for the medical and sanitary conditions were so poor, the patients were too far gone, and his grandmother could not save them.

it was also because of these stories he grew up listening to that chen yu, after obtaining the "multiverse universal necromancy spell compendium," chose to become a doctor who heals and saves people, rather than spreading death in war-torn areas, and embarked on a path diametrically opposed to that of a "traditional" necromancer.nôv(el)b\\jnn
