Chapter 558: Chapter 558
The woman’s tone was almost pleading, showing her good upbringing, but she was too worried about her grandfather, and her tone carried a bit of urgency.
"Alright." Lin Fan said indifferently, since the woman chose Zhu Ming to act, he respected her choice. He had just checked, and the patient wouldn’t die immediately, so he let Zhu Ming have a go first!
Saying that, Lin Fan stepped back.
Then Zhu Ming laid the old man flat on the ground and began conventional cardiac resuscitation treatment.
A few minutes quickly passed, yet the old man showed no signs of recovery, and his complexion was getting worse.
Zhu Ming couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat and became anxious, the situation was bad, the country bumpkin was right, he misjudged, he couldn’t save the old man! He was famous, and with so many people watching, admitting he was wrong would be so embarrassing!
Finally, under the undeniable facts, Zhu Ming was forced to give up, stopping his efforts, showing a look of having done his best.
"Dr. Zhu, what happened to my grandfather?" The woman felt something was wrong and started to tremble in fear.
Zhu Ming sighed and said, "I’ve done my best, unless we have hospital rescue equipment, otherwise I’m afraid no one can save him, this is beyond human capabilities."
The woman panicked, looking at the female attendant: "What should we do, can we send my grandfather to the hospital immediately?"
The female attendant said: "This bus is going to the county now, but I don’t know if we can make it in time, besides, this is public transport, everyone needs to agree."
Everyone nodded, indicating that human life is at stake, and they could go to the hospital first.
But the hospital was still some distance away, and it was unclear if they could make it in time.
The woman looked at Zhu Ming: "Dr. Zhu, is there really nothing you can do, you’re so famous, can’t you try to think of something else?"
Everyone also looked at Zhu Ming expectantly, hoping he could think of a solution.
Zhu Ming said with a serious face: "This has nothing to do with my fame, have you ever heard the saying ’a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice’? Under these conditions, even if Hua Tuo were reborn, it would be useless!" The rıghtful source is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
"Even Dr. Zhu says that, then there’s really no hope."
"Yes, how pitiful, a life just slips away before our eyes!"
"Grandpa!" The woman suddenly collapsed, slumping onto the seat, she regretted it deeply, knowing she shouldn’t have taken the bus with her grandfather.
"Dr. Zhu, your irresponsible words can kill people!"
At this moment, Lin Fan chuckled and spoke again.
"What did you say?" Zhu Ming suddenly looked up, angrily staring at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan said, "Firstly, this old man doesn’t need to go to the hospital, there is still hope, it’s just that you can’t save him. Secondly, your misjudgment earlier made things worse for him, speeding up his death, yet you blame the conditions."
"Nonsense, what do you mean by making things worse, I already did my best just now!" Zhu Ming was furious, standing up abruptly, with a posture like he was going to hit Lin Fan.
"You’re so agitated because I exposed your fault." Lin Fan said coldly.
"Can you really save my grandfather?" The woman looked up at Lin Fan, with no other options, Lin Fan became her last straw, her last hope!
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded, with absolute certainty.
His tone seemed to reassure the woman, giving her a sense of peace, and she earnestly said, "Then please save my grandfather, I’m begging you!"
Lin Fan smiled slightly and walked over, squatting in front of the old man, took out a small wooden box from his bundle, opened it, revealing nine silver needles inside.
These silver needles were something Lin Fan unintentionally discovered when organizing his clinic yesterday. According to Liu Zixing, Old Liu used them for his acupuncture research, and Lin Fan borrowed them temporarily.
Everyone was surprised, he carried silver needles with him, it turns out he’s a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner!
"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Zhu Ming immediately showed a look of disdain, as a doctor of Western medicine, he never took traditional Chinese medicine seriously, thinking it was all unscientific nonsense.
"Dr. Zhu, please step aside." Lin Fan said indifferently, "If I accidentally prick you and disable you, it won’t be good."
Zhu Ming snorted heavily, stood up, stepped aside, and said coldly, "Just with a few broken needles and you think you can save him, I’ll see how you embarrass yourself!"
Lin Fan ignored him, took out the silver needles, and inserted them into the old man’s Neiguan, Ximen, Tianquan, and other acupoints, began administering acupuncture to save him.
Lin Fan had acquired top-notch medical skills, which included traditional Chinese acupuncture techniques. This acupuncture technique was called the Yin Yang Eighteen Needles, with nine silver needles and eighteen needling techniques, remarkably magical.
The old man’s complexion started to improve, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and finally, his eyelids fluttered, astonishingly opening his eyes and waking up!
The surroundings immediately erupted, this shabby country boy actually revived the old man with nine silver needles!
"Miraculous hands bring the dead back to life!"
For a moment, this phrase surfaced in everyone’s minds.
The woman was overjoyed, hurrying to help the old man sit up, but amidst her joy, she remembered not believing in Lin Fan earlier and choosing Zhu Ming instead, feeling shame and regret.
Lin Fan truly lived up to the phrase "miraculous hands bring the dead back to life," but he was a bit dissatisfied with his performance this time, feeling the first use of acupuncture was a bit slow.
"That’s great, it’s good that he’s awake!"
The female attendant said happily, she was worried that if the patient died, she might be held accountable.
She grabbed Lin Fan’s hand and smiled: "Young man, we really have to thank you this time, you’re truly a miracle doctor!"
At this time, people around looked at Lin Fan with different eyes, previously all disdainful, now full of praise and amazement.
"The young man’s medical skills are amazing!"
"Traditional Chinese medicine is really miraculous, it seems in cases , you have to rely on traditional Chinese medicine!"
"Isn’t it just like that, and Dr. Zhu complained about poor conditions, I think he’s just not capable."
Dr. Zhu really lost face this time, being one of the top ten outstanding young doctors, it seems he’s just a façade!
After today, Zhu Ming’s reputation would be tainted, and it might not be easily cleared for a while.
Zhu Ming’s face turned red with anger and shame.
"Damn it, this is so embarrassing, where did this country bumpkin come from, he actually saved the person, isn’t this undermining me!" Zhu Ming roared in his heart.
Lin Fan helped the old man sit up, packed away the silver needles, and was about to return to his seat.
"Thank you for saving my grandfather, I was wrong just now, I should have trusted you from the start, I’m sorry."
After settling the old man, the woman approached Lin Fan, feeling a bit ashamed, remembering how she didn’t believe in Lin Fan before, she felt very regretful.
"No problem, no need to apologize, just settle the treatment fee." Lin Fan smiled slightly.
The woman froze, not expecting Lin Fan to ask for money.
