Chapter 403 - I Can Cure Your Disease
“I have news for you.” On the way out of the hospital, Li Shan said, “When I was taking the X-ray picture, the nurse told me that the woman who scolded you in the afternoon was also taking the X-ray picture. She said she had just broken her leg when she went out.”
Hearing the news, Fang Qiu exchanged glances with Jiang Miaoyu. Instead of laughing about that, they just shrugged and said nothing.
The next morning, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu went to a supermarket to buy some fruit, visiting the old man Fang Qiu cured yesterday in the hospital.
In the ward. “Why didn’t I see this young lady yesterday?” Seeing the two coming together, the old man took a look at Fang Qiu, then looked at Jiang Miaoyu and continued, “You guys look great together. Do you both study medicine?”
“Yes, she comes from a famous acupuncture family.” Fang Qiu nodded and pointed at Jiang Miaoyu.
“Oh? Acupuncture family?” The old man pondered for a while and asked, “Are you from the Jiang family?”
“Yes.” Jiang Miaoyu nodded.
“Oh, I see.” The old man smiled, then turned to Fang Qiu, and asked, “Young man, you got great bone-setting skills. Do you learn from the master of her family?”
“I just learned from a master in the country,” Fang Qiu answered with a smile.
The old man decided not to ask questions.
“I know you’re wondering what I did to stop the pain yesterday. Since you’re here, I’m going to show you how to do it.”
He paused for a while and said with a smile, “It is very simple. You just need the strength to block the nerve.”
“Block the nerve?” Fang Qiu was startled.
“That’s right.” The old man nodded and said, “If you want to learn it, you have to know a lot about the distribution of the nerves in your body. This method of stopping the pain is something I have discovered over the years. Since you help me cure my leg, I’ll teach you about it.”
“Since the strength can block the nerve, does it mean that this method can also stop a person from moving?” Fang Qiu asked.
“Ha-ha, you can have a try,” The old man said with a smile.
Fang Qiu didn’t reply.
Obviously, he couldn’t try it now, for there was no one that he could try this method on.
Although Fang Qiu didn’t reply, he did think that he could try it in the future to see if this method could work.
Normally, hitting one’s point was to block one’s internal Qi and make him lose his Kung Fu. Now, this method was more impressive, for it could just block the nerve.
“Well, then how do you come back from that?” Fang Qiu asked.
“Massage.” The old man said, “Massage is also a skill of traditional Chinese Medicine. We can massage to restore the nerves. Of course, you need to get the strength into it when you massage. But since you can do the bonesetting, I’m sure this won’t be hard for you.”
“I see,” Fang Qiu immediately nodded and said. “Thank you for your advice.”
“Dr. Li.” On the way to his father’s room, Li Shan was stopped by an orthopedist. He asked, “You come up again to see your father?”
“Yes, I want to keep him company while I’m available.” Li Shan smiled.
“Good for your father. But our department is quite unlucky now.”
The doctor said with a wry smile, “We just got a patient who was so hard to deal with. What’s wrong with her? She requires that we don’t need to treat her unless we make sure that we can cure her.”
“You got this kind of patient? Who is it?” Li Shan asked in surprise.
“The one whose father fainted when you saw her yesterday,” The doctor replied.
“It’s her, well, that’s not surprising.” Li Shan nodded.
“Alas, nowadays, the patients are always acting as we owe them something.”
The orthopedic doctor smiled wryly and asked, “By the way, how’s your dad’s leg?”
“He’s cured,” Li Shan replied.
“What?” The doctor was taken back and then asked, “I remember your father has a bone fracture. Although the injury is not too severe, it is necessary to have surgery. How come he’s just cured so soon? Did he have surgery yesterday?”
“He didn’t have surgery.” Li Shan smirked. “I asked a master to treat him. He directly cured my dad with bonesetting techniques. I’ve taken my dad to take the X-ray picture. The broken bones were cured. He also got ways to make my father’s leg bones completely recover in 10 days.”
“What?” The doctor looked at Li Shan suspiciously. “That’s impossible. How on earth could he do that?”
“I’m not lying. Wait for ten days and let’s see whether it will work.”
With a smirk, Li Shan added, “Speaking of this, I have to thank you for that high-maintenance female patient of yours. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have met this expert.”
“What?” The orthopedist was puzzled and hurriedly asked, “Come on, tell me.”
Li Shan elaborated on what happened yesterday.
Only then did the orthopedist suddenly understood, so he exclaimed and then immediately returned to the ward to continue to persuade the woman to do the surgery.
“You’d better sign it.” As soon as he entered the room, the orthopedist pulled a wry face, looked at the woman on the bed and her family members sitting around her. “In your case, you can’t be cured without surgery. Do you understand?”
“I can have the surgery, but you have to make sure I will not be disabled,” the woman said.
“I can’t.” The doctor said, “But if you don’t have surgery, I’m sure that you will be disabled. As doctors, we can only do our best to treat you, and we’ll try our best to ensure that there are no accidents, but the treatment is risky and no one can be sure that nothing would happen.”
“What risk? I don’t want to hear any excuses!”
The woman was angry, so she roared at once, “How do you become a doctor? You can’t even cure this disease. What kind of doctor you are? You’re wasting the taxpayers’ money.”
The orthopedic doctor was completely speechless as he heard that.
“A doctor can cure, but he can’t cure all the diseases. If you say so, no one in our hospital will be able to treat you. I’m sorry.”
With that, the doctor was just leaving.
“Stop right there!” The woman on the bed suddenly began to shout, saying, “I don’t care, I’m staying at a hospital! This is a place for treatment. You have to cure me since I’m sick. Otherwise, I will die in your hospital, even if I have to!”
The doctor had no choice.
“If you say so, then I… ” Before he finished his words, the doctor suddenly remembered what Li Shan had said to him and raised his eyebrows. “According to your request, only one person I know can cure you.”
“Who?” the woman asked hurriedly.
The doctor said, “The father of the doctor who treated your father yesterday accidentally broke his leg. This is the man who cured his father. There was no need for an operation. But he is not a doctor in our hospital. He doesn’t need to do what we ask him to do. If you have that kind of request, please invite him to treat you by yourself. He is in room 6120.”
The doctor left as he finished his words.
In the ward of Li Shan’s father, a few people were talking.
All of a sudden. “Ka-chow.”
Without any knock, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
The crowd turned to look.
Li Shan’s face darkened. His father was confused while Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu also looked cold.
The man who opened the door was the woman’s brother!
Several attempts were made by him yesterday to stop Fang Qiu. But finally, Fang Qiu knocked him down on the ground.
The man was also stunned as he saw Fang Qiu.
Without any manners, he rushed into the ward and asked, “Who is the bonesetting expert? Can you save my sister?”
“Bonesetting?” Fang Qiu stood up and said, “I am!”
“You?” The young man looked at Fang Qiu in surprise and then looked at Li Shan.
Li Shan nodded helplessly while he was furious at that orthopedic doctor.
“I kindly told you the secret. And you ratted on my friend? You just threw the patient that you couldn’t handle on your own to my friend. You’re trying to get my friend in trouble?” Li Shan scolded to himself.
Li Shan looked at Fang Qiu apologetically.
“Er… ” After learning that Fang Qiu was a master of bonesetting, the young man opened his mouth and said, “Can you please take a look at my sister?”
Fang Qiu was startled. He really didn’t expect that the young man would even come to ask him for help.
But he was still a doctor.
Fang Qiu thought for a moment before he got up.
Without saying anything else, he asked the young man to lead the way.
Within a few steps, they went to the woman’s ward.
Once he entered the ward, everyone in the ward was stunned.
“Well, don’t you dare come here!” On the bed, the woman directly pointed to Fang Qiu, shouting. “Fortunately, my father is all right, otherwise I will definitely come to you…”
“Sis!” Before the woman had finished her words, the young man immediately stopped her, then pointed to Fang Qiu and said, “This is the expert I have invited to treat you!”
“What?” This woman was dumbfounded.
She never would have expected that Fang Qiu was a bonesetting master.
“You, you…” The woman pointed to Fang Qiu as if she wanted to say something angrily, but as soon as she thought of the risks of the operation and remembered that she would be disabled if she didn’t have the surgery, she could not help but burst into tears. “I, I… Master, please cure me. As long as you can cure my disease, you can let me do anything.”
Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows, then he stepped forward and examined her with a kind heart.
“I can cure this disease,” Fang Qiu said after the examination.
“Then hurry up and treat me,” the woman said hopefully.
She seemed to forget that she thought Fang Qiu was a hateful man a moment ago.
“I can treat you. But how much are you going to pay me?” Fang Qiu asked.
“What?” The woman froze and then asked, “You are not the doctor of this hospital. Why do you want the money?”
“Why not?” Fang Qiu asked.
“You, you’re a doctor. Why do you want money? If I don’t, are you going to watch me die?” the woman asked.
“Why can’t I get paid as a doctor?” Fang Qiu sneered and continued to ask, “You’ve paid the hospital. Why can’t you pay me?”
The woman was speechless as she heard that.
She paused for a while and finally uttered, “Aren’t you a good person? Saving lives is your own duty.”
“It’s my job as a doctor, and it’s also the job of the hospital. Why are you paying the hospital but not me?” Fang Qiu sneered.
“Fine! How much do you want?” the woman asked.
“Not much, just give me half of the money you pay for the hospital!”
