Chapter 177 -177: We Will Not Spare You. (Four Updates)
“How can you talk like that? Isn’t she a doctor right in front of you?” Zhang Duo was upset at being underestimated. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
The young comrade pointed at Bai Xiao, “Her? Have you not seen her age? Aren’t you afraid she might paralyze you with one needle, leaving you bedridden?”
That remark was a slap in the face.
Bai Xiao shook her head, “Fine, since you’re worried, help your captain out. There is no doctor now. If you want acupuncture, come early tomorrow morning.” There was nothing she could do if they didn’t trust her.
It was time to close up.
The two young comrades prepared to support Zhang Duo out of the door.
Zhang Duo forcefully gestured with his hand, pushing the two away.
“Then… you do it! Give me a couple of needles, just to temporarily stop this pain. This pain is really killing me.” Zhang Duo was in severe pain. He had undergone acupuncture before and knew that it wouldn’t take effect immediately; it usually took two or three sessions to alleviate the pain, hoping to ease his severe pain to a bearable level.
The young soldier hurriedly intervened, “That won’t do, captain. Didn’t you see she’s about my age? Aren’t you afraid she might mess it up by needling you?”
Zhang Duo was sweating from the pain, “Even if she messes it up, let her mess it up. Everyone has been a beginner at some point, and we always need to give people a chance to learn. Can it be worse than the pain I’m enduring now?” He turned to speak to Bai Xiao.
“Doctor, come on, didn’t you say you inherit medical skills? I don’t have other requests, just to ease this pain. Look at the beads of sweat on me and see how much pain I’m in. I wish the pain would just kill me off now.”
Bai Xiao smiled, “Alright, you two comrades help your captain to the bed inside, and let him lie face down. Remove his shirt, I need to needle his back.” Since she was given this opportunity, she would certainly seize it.
She thought to herself, this comrade, you won’t regret seeking me.
The young soldier exclaimed, “Captain!”
“Captain, this is reckless.”
“Am I the captain, or are you two the captains? Help me inside to lie down. That’s an order.” Zhang Duo’s patience was running thin, his back pain was almost unbearable, and now he had to argue with these two, which was hardly improving his mood.
Having no choice, the two comrades helped their captain, Zhang Duo, into the examination room, took off his outerwear, left him bare-chested, and assisted him to lie face-down on the bed.
Xiaoli was worried.
He whispered to Bai Xiao,
“If it’s not possible, let them come back tomorrow. Once there’s a mistake in the acupuncture points, it could cause problems.”
He meant it well; he had seen patients with a crooked mouth and twitching fingers after incorrect needling.
Although Bai Xiao sat there criticized by others as incompetent, at the very least, she was a properly presented, respectable doctor.
If she really caused an accident by needling someone incorrectly, it would be a medical malpractice.
How could she still sit here then? She would lose her job.
Even if Bai Xiao had the backing of Dean Zhang, that didn’t mean a medical accident was justified. Dean Zhang couldn’t cover up everything.
Bai Xiao took out her acupuncture kit and alcohol swabs, “Xiaoli, trust me, relax! I can do this. I definitely won’t harm anyone.”
That guarantee had very little credibility.
Xiaoli couldn’t persuade Bai Xiao, so he just followed her into the examination room.
He had prepared himself to be a witness, just in case something happened and he could defend Bai Xiao. Otherwise, without a witness, the patient could say anything. By then, Bai Xiao would have no way to defend herself.
The two comrades watched Bai Xiao intently, as if she were a ferocious beast that could devour their captain at any moment.
“Little doctor, this is our captain, so weigh your own skills. If you really can’t handle it, better not to boast, in case you end up really hurting our captain, then we won’t let you off the hook,”
“Exactly, stick to what you can do and don’t boast about what you can’t. You’re doctors, and you need to take responsibility.”
Bai Xiao smiled and wiped Zhang Duo’s back with an alcohol swab, the cold sensation made Zhang Duo shiver, but it did divert his attention away from the pain a bit.
“Don’t listen to those kids, go ahead, it’s fine.” Zhang Duo initially wanted to glare at the two young comrades, but he couldn’t even turn his neck due to the pain, so he had no imposing presence at all.
Bai Xiao nodded, gave a thumbs up, just for your confidence in me I must make you full of vigor tomorrow.
Otherwise, it would be a disservice to my special ability.
After all, you are my first patient since the opening.
Before coming to The Ninth Hospital, Bai Xiao really hadn’t seriously treated anyone.
Dean Zhang, of course, doesn’t count, he’s an insider, others would definitely say they’re protecting their own, praising their own doctors to the skies.
But this is a real member of our own, if I treat him well. Once I go back and do the promotion, probably many more people will come to see me.
What she wanted was a good reputation.
“Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t leave your captain bedridden,” Bai Xiao assured.
The two young comrades got even more nervous when she said that.
Bai Xiao pinched the silver needle, found the correct spot on Zhang Duo’s lumbar area, and was about to insert it.
One of the young comrades urgently shouted.
“Make sure you hit the right spot, don’t shake.”
Bai Xiao rolled her eyes, “If you keep nagging here, I really can’t guarantee I’ll hit the right spot. Am I the doctor, or are you the doctor? Since your captain chose to trust me, and you keep going on and on, you’re disrupting the doctor’s thought process, understand? If it really goes wrong, whose fault will it be? Yours or mine?” If the doctor doesn’t show some authority, they really won’t know who’s in charge.
The young comrade, chastened by Bai Xiao’s scolding, immediately shut his mouth, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the silver needle in Bai Xiao’s hand.
With a swift motion, she inserted two needles.
Bai Xiao gently twisted the silver needle, and her special ability had already started to work.
Zhang Duo lay there, moaning ah and oh.
The two young comrades were startled.
They quickly bent down to ask the captain.
“Captain, how are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot? I told you we shouldn’t let her do it!”
“Shut up!” This time it was Bai Xiao who shouted, her voice stern and serious, with an irresistible majesty.
Zhang Duo laughed, “Well, little doctor. You really are quite capable. After those two needles, I could feel a warm flow rising from my waist, and now it doesn’t hurt at all.” That moan was one of relief.
Who would know, after suffering so much pain for so long, to suddenly have the pain relieved, disappearing without a trace in an instant? That kind of relief is something others can’t understand, only someone tormented by illness like him could appreciate it.
The two young soldiers completely shut up.
If the captain says it’s good, what more could they say?
