Madam Wang's sudden backward fall startled everyone, but fortunately, the person behind her reacted quickly and stepped forward to catch her.

Lin Jie, who also came to his senses, helped the person lower Madam Wang gently to the ground, and quickly performed a check-up, discovering that she had fainted due to a moment of nervousness.

Lin Jie lightly patted her a few times, and Madam Wang soon regained consciousness.

Afterward, Officer Qin called Madam Wang's family to accompany her to Tongren Hospital for a detailed examination.

Once Madam Wang and the others left, Officer Qin lowered his voice and asked, "Is the situation very serious?"

Lin Jie nodded slightly and said, "It's somewhat not very optimistic!"

The free clinic continued, but by nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jie noticed that the line of people waiting for check-ups was not getting any shorter, but rather longer, so he had to step in personally!

With Lin Jie joining in, the efficiency greatly improved.

It could be said that the combined efficiency of the four check-up teams was not as high as his alone, and the line of residents waiting clearly started moving.

Fang Huanru kept staring at Lin Jie!

She noticed that Lin Jie didn't waste any words with the person sitting in front of him, nor did he use electronic thermometers, stethoscopes, or blood pressure monitors. His first move was to feel the left side of the person's neck!

Fang Huanru knew Lin Jie was checking the carotid artery.

Looking at Lin Jie's stance, it seemed he could perceive the pulse frequency and strength of the carotid artery with his fingers, thereby detecting the frequency and intensity of the heartbeat, blood pressure condition, and also feeling the body temperature.

With this touch, Lin Jie saved all the time it would take to check with electronic thermometers, stethoscopes, and blood pressure monitors.

This reminded Fang Huanru of something.

Her father once told her with much emotion that those who are deeply skilled in Western medicine can also reach the level of senior traditional Chinese medicine experts, who, without the use of auxiliary examination tools, can assess the body's condition through mere observation and inquiry.

Such people only need to take a pulse to sense the health status of the main organs like the heart and lungs by feeling the aorta's pulsation.

Fang Huanru always thought her father exaggerated this because her father, whom she admired greatly, frankly admitted that he couldn't do it himself.

But now, watching what Lin Jie was doing, it seemed he was that kind of person her father talked about.

After feeling the carotid artery, Fang Huanru watched as Lin Jie quickly checked the person from head to toe while asking a few questions!

Afterward, Lin Jie conversed with the person for a few more moments before sending them off and welcoming the next one.

The entire examination process took only about three or four minutes.

Fang Huanru softly murmured, "The teacher's examination speed really is extraordinarily fast!"

"That's right, you probably don't know!"

Standing beside Fang Huanru, Song Licheng, who also occasionally paid attention to Lin Jie, picked up her words, saying, "Before the New Year, the teacher had gone to the University Affiliated Hospital's night emergency clinic for a free clinic."

"He single-handedly cleared all the patients who came for consultation!"

Song Licheng boasted, "Now, there's still a tale about the teacher circulating at the hospital's emergency department. Not just one or two self-confident doctors have tried to challenge the teacher's record."

"What was the result?" Fang Huanru asked with full interest!

Song Licheng sneered and said, "I don't have to say, you can surely guess, they overestimated themselves!"

"Not only did those guys fail to clear the patients, but in their haste, they caused many missed or wrong diagnoses, becoming a subject of ridicule!"

Fang Huanru smiled with pride and excitement, saying, "Later, I'll ask the teacher to tell us about that emergency clinic incident!"

"Definitely don't!"

Song Licheng's expression changed immediately and hurriedly advised against it, "You mustn't ask the teacher about this!"

"This was something the mentor accidentally let slip to me, and at that time, it was said that the teacher's girlfriend was going abroad to study, and the two of them broke up."

"The mentor said the teacher, feeling upset, went to the emergency clinic to vent his emotions."

Fang Huanru was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows curved, and she looked at Lin Jie with a tender smile, saying, "Wow, even the teacher's emotional outburst after a breakup is so unique and cute."

Although Lin Jie was a strong participant, the whole free clinic event still ended after seven in the evening when it had gotten dark.

Lin Jie preliminarily counted that during this free clinic, a total of nearly four hundred people had undergone physical check-ups.

Besides the mirror-image child and Madam Wang, a total of seventeen people were found who needed further examination or treatment at a hospital.

Among these, Lin Jie himself identified eight individuals with relatively serious conditions.

Looking at the tired faces yet bright eyes of the group, Lin Jie praised them a few times and then said, "Only in practice can you discover your own shortcomings; only by applying what you've learned can you improve; and only in the process of diagnosing patients can you truly feel the pride of being a doctor."

"Such free clinic activities will continue to be held irregularly in the future."

He finally asked, "Now, choose the two best performers among yourselves!"

With Lin Jie's words, Fang Huanru, Xiao Ganghao, Tian Xiangyu, and others immediately gathered together to discuss and argue.

Lin Jie ignored their argument, walked over to the busy Clerk Qin, and advised, "Clerk Qin, you need to remind the residents that this free clinic is just a preliminary check-up."

"Some diseases are well-hidden, and given our limited capabilities, it's inevitable that there might be missed or incorrect diagnoses. Not finding any issues doesn't necessarily mean there are none."

"Annual routine check-ups are still essential. If you feel unwell, it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up!"

Clerk Qin laughed and said, "If you keep saying you're limited in capability, how can any other doctors survive?"

"Don't worry, I'll remind the residents. Actually, what you've said is something they're all quite aware of."

He clapped his hands and said, "Lin Jie, you've all worked hard today. I can't do much more, so on behalf of the neighborhood committee, I can only invite you all to dinner!"

"We can't let the neighborhood committee treat us!"

Lin Jie pointed at Yang Leyi, who was tidying up things nearby, and said, "This free clinic also counts as a promotional event. She's a representative of the corporate sponsors, so let her treat us to dinner!"

After saying that, he shouted to Yang Leyi, "Yang Leyi, have you prepared dinner?"

Hearing the shout, Yang Leyi ran over and said, "I've prepared it long ago. It's at that Hometown Restaurant nearby, and I've reserved a large private room there that can accommodate twenty or thirty people."

She happily added, "The owner of the Hometown Restaurant also came to get checked. When he left, he said he'd give us a 20-30% discount!"

Clerk Qin smiled and said, "The food at that restaurant is pretty good."

"Lin Jie, I know you're involved with the Anlin Hospital charity fund and all that. However, since you've prepared in advance, we won't be polite and will take you up on it. After all, our budget isn't very ample!"

Lin Jie just smiled and said, "Actually, I'm just a very small shareholder, so this is like offering flowers to Buddha, treating you to express gratitude for taking care of my sibling and me all along."

He remembered something, "Oh, it seems you haven't checked your health yet!"

"Shall I examine you?"

"Sure, let this big expert have a look!" Clerk Qin said nonchalantly.

Lin Jie immediately placed his index and middle fingers on the left carotid artery of Clerk Qin, concentrating to detect...

He frowned slightly and said, "Clerk Qin, you're only about thirty-one or thirty-two years old this year, yet your cardiac strength seems a bit weak."

"Have you been experiencing any discomfort lately?"

Clerk Qin's expression tightened and glanced at Yang Leyi discreetly!

Yang Leyi, with good sense, said, "I'll go tidy up the tables, chairs, hydrogen balloons, and banners!"

Once Yang Leyi had walked a little further away, Clerk Qin nervously said, "Lin Jie, lately, I've felt somewhat powerless in that regard, and my partner has complained a few times."

"Sometimes, I also experience some feelings of chest tightness. I thought it was because of increased workload and physical fatigue recently."

He asked anxiously, "Lin Jie, is it serious?"

Lin Jie withdrew his hand and said honestly, "I suspect your heart's coronary artery might be a bit clogged. You'd better go to the hospital for a heart check."

Clerk Qin's face went pale as he said, "I'll instruct others to arrange things here and then head to the hospital right away."

"What you say is definitely correct."

"Lin Jie, I won't join you for dinner. Once my test results are out and I'm treated, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Lin Jie quickly comforted him, "Don't be nervous or scared. Even if there's a coronary blockage, it isn't very severe. With intervention treatment, it can be easily treated."

Clerk Qin forced a smile and said, "I know, Lin Jie, thank you!"

After saying this, he walked away heavily to arrange work for several colleagues.

At this time, a taxi drove into the square and stopped, and Lin Miao and Ling Mengjiao got out of the car!

Lin Miao ran over to Lin Jie, took his arm, and said, "Brother, we're done over there too, so Mengjiao and I came over to get a free meal. Are you tired?"

She glanced around the small square and asked, "How's Brother Kong Mingqing and Brother Xiaoyu? Did you personally examine them?"

"Brother Kong and his wife both had work today. Brother Xiaoyu is in great health. However, Aunt Wang's health isn't very good and she's gone to the hospital for further examination!"

Lin Jie started to briefly recount the situation of the free clinic today and the health status of some of their acquaintances to Lin Miao.

Before Lin Jie finished speaking, he saw Fang Huanru, Xiao Ganghao, Tian Xiangyu, and others walk over.

"This is my sister Lin Miao, and they're all kind of my students!" Lin Jie briefly introduced both sides and asked, "Who did you finally decide as the outstanding ones?"

Tian Xiangyu and Lu Xiaoyu stepped forward excitedly and said, "It's us two!"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Help to pack up some things, and then we'll go have dinner together!"
