Chapter 402: Healing the Wounded

The Xijing University Chinese Hospital.

Although it was not Fang Yuan's first time here, he still hated the atmosphere of the hospital.

It was depressing and boring and everyone here felt desolated... It was suffocating.

"Haha... Professor Tian, what brings you here?

"

Both Fang Yuan and Professor Tian wore white robes and arrived at the office of the hospital. A plump and half-bald dean came out and gave an inviting and warm smile.

"Old Wang, this is Fang Yuan, the one I've mentioned to you about!

"

Professor Tian chuckled as he pushed Fang Yuan forward.

"He is prepared to perform a new Traditional Chinese Medicine technique and is looking for a few patients here to try on...

"

"I see...

"

Dean Wang's eyebrows twitched but he slowly became relaxed.

"No problem... head to the outpatient walk-in area, I will be fully responsible for you!

"

He was only so forthcoming because Professor Tian was an important figure in the Traditional Chinese Medicine community.

"Do I seem like such a person? Don't worry, Little Fang is extremely professional!

"

Professor Tian glared at Dean Wang.

"Oh, I see!

"

Dean Wang smiled.

"Is he your student? Like teacher, like student!

"

With that, he knew that he did not have to bother about the probation period and job experience.

"What are your intentions?

"

"Dean Wang, I am here to solve the untreatable cases. You can hand any medical case deemed hopeless to me!

"

Fang Yuan chuckled.

"Oh?

"

Dean Wang was stunned.

"Why is that so?

"

"I am primarily looking for cases where the patients and their family members are in despair so they would readily agree to this, reducing the chances of conflicts between them and us in the future... Furthermore, I want representatives from the young, middle-aged and old. The best would be to have these representative suffer from the same illnesses so that I can compare them!

"

Fang Yuan stated all his conditions at one go and also hinted that he would donate to the hospital in his personal capacity.

"Alright, I'll prepare!

"

Dean Wang was stunned for a moment before agreeing to Fang Yuan.

After all, Traditional Chinese Medicine was always not as attractive as western medicine. Even the Xijing University Chinese Hospital had ran into economic problems.

"You kid... how did you convince Dean Wang?

"

After ensuring that no one else was near them, Professor Tian enquired.

"I only agreed to sponsor the hospital... Of course, I will not do it publicly!

"

Fang Yuan smiled.

"In my personal capacity, I will buy medical equipment and donate it to the Traditional Chinese Medicine faculty before letting you donate it using the school's name. Everything is clear, so what is there for us to fear?

"

"Sigh... young people these days!

"

Professor Tian remained speechless and did not know if he should feel happy or sad.

After a short while, Dean Wang returned with a few doctors following him.

"Doctor Little Fang, nice to meet you. I have already chosen a few medical cases according to your requirements.

"

With that, one of the doctors handed him three sets of documents.

"Lu Wei, 65 years old, multiple organ failure. Zhao Guoping, 37 years old, the final stage of stomach cancer. Sun Xiaohong, 15 years old, paralysed. These cases are similar to each other. What do you think?

"

"Alright, tell them and their family members that I will pay for their medical bills!

"

Fang Yuan flipped through the documents and realised that all three of them were middle-income families and could no longer support the burden of the medical bills. Therefore, the chances that they would agree to Fang Yuan's offer was high.

"The few of you will draft the document and settle the agreement. I will follow up after they have signed the agreement!

"

Fang Yuan closed the document and there was a look of sorrow in his eyes.

Why was there so much sadness and separation in this world?

...

"Oh? Alright!

"

As the few doctors took their leave, they started to discuss softly among themselves.

"How's the new guy? Is he arrogant?

"

"After all, he is Professor Tian's student. Even Dean Wang has to respect him!

"

"Even so, he cannot play around with the patients' lives... However, by agreeing to foot their medical bills, he has resolved these 3 hard medical cases...

"

...

"Doctor Fang! The 3 patients and their family members have agreed to sign the agreement. Here are the documents!

"

After a while, a nurse entered and handed 3 documents to Fang Yuan.

"Hmmm, alright, I'll first take a look at Lu Wei!

"

Fang Yuan slowly stood up and the aura around him changed.

His calm and composed disposition resembled that of a noble doctor, making the nurse dumbfounded.

She had only seen such vibes from the few old professors before.

Paying no attention to her, Fang Yuan entered the ward.

"Are you Lu Wei? I am the doctor in charge of your treatment!

"

"It's you?

"

The few middle-aged men and women gave looks of suspicion and started to mumble among themselves.

"Regardless, the hospital has agreed to cover all his medical bills, right?

"

"That's right!

"

Fang Yuan nodded his head.

"Alright, then we shall hand him over to you. Remember to get a nurse to attend to him every day!

"

The few of them quickly took their leave. Looking at how they seem much more relaxed after knowing that the patient would not burden them further made Fang Yuan sigh.

A bedridden elderly would eventually lose all his filial sons.

On the bed, the old man opened his eyes and his wrinkled face was emotionless. Or rather, he had difficulty expressing his emotions.

"We have temporarily suspended his previous treatment. Let me use my needles for now...

"

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!

"
