21st Century Necromancer

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.

I will then speak to Professor Kube, and she can continue practicing medicine at our Eastern University Affiliated Hospital," he said.

At this point, Chen Yu couldn't help but wrap his arms around his girlfriend as they sat on the couch, admiringly saying to Jounouchi Hiromi, "Speaking of which, Daimon-san's surgical skills are frighteningly strong. Neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, oncological surgery, gastric, esophageal surgery... It seems like there isn't a single surgical procedure that Daimon-san can't perform!

Truly a terrifying surgical ability!"

"That must have something to do with Daimon-san's past experiences," Jounouchi Hiromi said as she leaned into her boyfriend's embrace, also recalling, "I remember Uncle Jing mentioning that Daimon-san had to go to Cuba to find Uncle Jing because her father's clinic had been forced to shut down.

Under Uncle Jing's tutelage, she became a war medic, dealing daily with a variety of critically wounded patients who would die if not treated, fighting against the Death God for each life…

"In an environment like that, Daimon-san developed such speed and the ability to handle any situation with her surgeries. Moreover, her personal motto was also formed during that time. Since any failure would mean the death of the person in front of her, she couldn't afford to fail, nor would she allow herself to."

Jounouchi Hiromi's words resonated deeply with Chen Yu. Although he was a Necromancer, he had also been an ordinary person before then.

Furthermore, Chen Yu's family, starting from his grandmother, including his three aunts, two uncles, cousins, and nephews, were all doctors or studying medicine, with specialties covering infectious diseases, surgery, internal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine research, and biopharmaceuticals.

Not only that, but he had also received a complete modern medical education and deeply understood the relationship between doctors and patients. Therefore, he was profoundly affected by this statement.

Doctors are certainly not gods—they cannot save every patient. Still, every patient definitely hopes that their doctor can save them. For a doctor, a patient may be one of the countless patients they need to save, but for the patient, the doctor in front of them is their only hope.

Some might say that patients nowadays have become unreasonable, trusting their own internet searches more than their doctors, believing that online information is correct while doctors always want to deceive them.

Others might think that if one hospital doesn't work out, they'll just switch to another, and if the doctor doesn't agree with their wishes, they refuse treatment, never seeing the doctor as their only hope…

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.
