Chapter 208: Saving the Little Boy
Upon seeing the medical clinic smashed into disarray and the well-known resident doctor missing in action, she was instantly flustered: “What happened? Where is the doctor?”
Qiao Yin glanced at the child in her arms, who was constantly groaning in pain, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
While she felt the pulse of the little boy, she said, “My grandmother has been knocked unconscious by a patient and is currently in the hospital.”
The woman, seeing that she could diagnose by pulse, clung to Qiao Yin as if to a life-saving straw: “Are you the granddaughter of the miraculous doctor? Please save my son. He was playing with a few kids and somehow ended up like this; he has been vomiting blood.”
Qiao Yin checked the pulse, and then examined the boy’s body: “Arm broken, spleen and lungs have been sharply hit, both are bleeding.”
“What to do? Can you… can you cure him?”
“I can perform basic hemostasis procedures and reset his fracture, which will give you enough time to take him to the hospital.”
If she didn’t help, this child would not survive the journey to the hospital.
She acted swiftly, carefully touching the fracture site on the child’s arm. With a swift application of strength, she managed to reset the broken bones.
The boy’s painful groaning instantly became fainter.
Next, Qiao Yin took out a silver needle, pierced a few acupoints, and the symptoms of his bloody vomit stopped as well.
“It’s done now. Take him to the hospital and avoid touching his arm and chest.”
The woman wept in gratitude: “Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Having said that, she left hastily carrying her son.
Qiao Yin lowered her head to look at her own blood-stained hands and fell into a trance.
Lu Lingche brought a bottle of water, took her hand, and helped her clean: “Dislike blood, right?”
Qiao Yin pulled her hand back and did not let him clean. She took the water and started to clean herself: “How do you know?”
Wasn’t he completely indifferent to her? How come he knows about her latent issue?
“Your cousin told me.”
So it was her cousin. No wonder.
“What else did she say?”
“She talked about your mother and the reason why you won’t treat outsiders.”
Qiao Yin stayed silent and continued washing her hands.
After the blood was cleaned, she got in the car: “Let’s go.”
Lu Lingche also got into the trail, Yu Fei quickly started the car and headed for the city.
In the car, Qiao Yin took the opportunity to review the medical records. Her grandmother had written solutions to these complicated diseases in great detail.
It seemed like her grandmother knew that one day, she would need these records.
She wrote them for her.
After reading one volume, during a break, Lu Lingche asked, “I thought you don’t save outsiders? Why did you save the kid just now?”
Emotions welled up in Qiao Yin’s heart and her eyes turned red: “Actually, what I saved was not the child but the mother. Looking at how anxious she was to save her child, it reminded me of how my mother protected me.”
That incident from when she was seven was one she dared not recall.
Her mother was stabbed by a patient and lost a lot of blood. The patient wanted to continue stabbing, and she rushed out of the closet like a madman to try to save her.
But in order not to let her be hurt by the patient, her mother hugged the patient tightly, even until her last breath, she never let go.
She witnessed her mother being murdered by that patient, watched her mother’s white gown dyed red by her own blood.
The trauma to her young mind was immense. Later, she kneeled before her mother’s grave and vowed never to help outsiders again because they were not worth saving.”
“My unwillingness to help outsiders is a knot in my heart. However, I have broken my vow when I was kidnapped last time. I treated two kidnappers, adhering to the vow is no longer meaningful.”
Besides, she now understood that her knowledge of medical skills was not just to save her family, but to save whoever she wanted to.
She needed to accumulate experience and the best way to do that was to treat more patients..
