The doctors in the room stood up to greet the leader.
Director Yang entered with a familiar and amiable smile, typical of his interactions with frontline staff, and candidly said to the doctors from his hospital: "I must first ask your opinions about the patient. Have you seen the patient?"
"We have," Doctor Jiang and his colleagues answered nervously, glancing sideways at Student Pan.
This young fellow actually anticipated the leader would come in person.
Director Yang continued with his speech: "This patient is a student from Geological University. The university's leaders called me and earnestly requested that we at Guoxie do everything possible to save this young person's life. He is a brilliant young student, a very talented university individual. They hope we can cure his illness, enabling him to become a pillar of the country, rather than leaving him and his family without a future."
