402 Healing the Wounded (2/2)
Fang Yuan sat down beside him and retrieved a silver needle.
His needle was almost 4 inches long. However, it seemed soft and runny, which confused the nurses around.
Such a long and thin needle was something that not all doctors were able to use. A slight deviation in the execution of the technique would result in the needle being bent even before entering the acupuncture point.
'Hmm... Life is as fragile as a candle in the wind, and the body is as weak as a rotten tree!'
Executing the needle technique from the Green Capsule Scripture Additional Recording, Fang Yuan pierced his first needle.
A stream of inner power entered through the needle. The old man felt more energetic and started to move his eyeballs.
”Mr Lu... I am only a doctor and not a god. Therefore, my treatment can only alleviate your pain and let you feel comfortable in your final days!”
Fang Yuan continued to pierce the other acupuncture points as he calmly spoke.
”Patient... the patient is moving his mouth!”
The nurse widened her eyes and shrieked.
To her, this old man was a vegetable long ago and was holding on to his last breath. However, he seemed much more energetic and lively now as though there was no more pain?
”Thank... thank you!”
The old man forcefully moved his lips and spoke.
”You're welcome, it's my responsibility!”
Fang Yuan smiled and stood up before calling the nurse over. ”From now onwards, you will be in charge of taking care of him. I'm sure I don't have to repeat his dietary requirements, right?”
”Oh, yes!”
The nurse now regarded Fang Yuan as a mysterious person and did not dare to disobey his order.
...
”No! I will not agree to it!”
It was evening and Fang Yuan had completed his treatment for the second patient, Zhao Guoping. After comforting Zhao Guoping's teary-eyed wife, Fang Yuan arrived at the final ward.
In the ward, an agitated voice was heard. ”Little Hong's condition has just stabilised. How can you just change her doctor? I will not agree to it!”
”Cough cough... Qin Wangqing, please mind your words. This is the dean's decision. Furthermore, the patient's family members have already agreed to it. Do you think you have any say in this?”
A fellow colleague gave a piece of advice.
”Doctor Qin, we know your good intentions. However, Little Hong still wants to stand on her feet. We do not want to miss any opportunity...”
A pair of middle-aged parents spoke with tears welled up in their eyes.
”...”
Doctor Qin was speechless. She wanted to reveal to them that the patient's leg had been put through examination and there was already an irreversible nerve damage. Even a miracle would not be able to make her stand again.
Looking at the wide-eyed young girl leaning on her bed, Doctor Qin could not bring herself to say it. After a long while, he finally decided on what to say.
”If he is a renowned doctor, then I have no worries... But Little Hong, you must know that he is only 16 years old!”
”What?”
”16 years old?”
Sun Xiaohong's parents were stunned. Although there were instances in western medicine where the young doctors could potentially become more capable than the older doctors, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, nothing like that had ever happened before. They started to feel a tinge of regret.
”Cough cough... Doctor Qin, you are unethical to talk bad about others behind their backs!”
Fang Yuan felt embarrassed as he eavesdropped on the conversation. With a cough, he entered the ward.
”You are... Doctor Fang?”
The patient's parents' eyes glistened as soon as they saw Fang Yuan.
They had to admit that Fang Yuan's matured appearance gave them confidence. He had a special vibe and people would even believe him if he were to claim that he was 20.
”I stand fast on what I've said... If Professor Tian came personally, I would have no qualms, but you, I will never agree!”
Qin Wanqing spoke with a cold tone.
”It's your business if you don't agree. Since the patient's parents have already agreed, don't stand in my way!”
Fang Yuan placed his hands in his pocket and walked forward.
Although it was a rare sight to see a pretty female doctor in the hospital, in Fang Yuan's eyes, she was no different from any other females.
”Are you Xiaohong?”
Fang Yuan approached the bed and examined the girl leaning on the bed.
Sun Xiaohong and a long face and thick sideburns. She had big eyes and it was as though people could see a hint of hope in them.
”That's me! Are you 16? You're only 1 year older than me!”
Sun Xiaohong blinked her eyes.
”Hehe... That's true!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head. ”How? Would you like to stand on your feet again?”
”Yes, of course”!
Sun Xiaohong spoke with determination.
”Believe in me, that is all I ask for!”
Fang Yuan's eyes glistened and he gave a reassuring smile.
Never would he know that he would get an unexpected finding from these few medical cases.
Through his Fiery Golden Eyes, Sun Xiaohong's physical body was stronger than the average adult and it was as though Fang Yuan was looking at another Zhao Daniu.
She was an evolver. Although she was only slightly evolved and was only slightly more energetic than other children, with the correct guidance, she could discover some abilities of her own, for instance, self-healing. Together with the techniques described in the Green Capsule Scripture Additional Recording, she had an extremely high chance of complete recovery.
'This is great! With her, it is even better than treating 10 or 100 normal patients!'
Fang Yuan's eyes glistened. However, Qin Wanqing interpreted his attitude towards Sun Xiaohong as a hostile one. ”Fang Yuan, I warn you not to do anything stupid!”
