Chapter 15 : Miraculous Healing
- Ye Ming closed his eyes and waited for a few seconds before suddenly opening them.
- In that moment, everything in front of him changed.
- He could see through the child's body, seeing their internal organs clearly and identifying any problems.
- "Internal heat," he murmured to himself.
- This was a rare and peculiar illness, known in Western medicine as an imbalance of body temperature.
- Usually, Western doctors would prescribe some fever-reducing and cooling medicines to alleviate the symptoms, but it was only a temporary solution.
- Because Ye Ming knew that this was not just a normal fever or the simple "internal heat" described in traditional Chinese medicine, but another condition known as "internal heat".
- With this illness, all the internal organs would be in a state of high temperature, and the blood and qi would become hot as well, leading to nosebleeds and a weakened immune system.
- If the internal heat was not eliminated, the illness would persist and torment the patient, eventually wearing them down to death, although it was not as destructive to the immune system as HIV.
- However, this illness was extremely troublesome. If the correct method was not found and the diagnosis was wrong, it would slowly torment the patient and eventually lead to their demise.
- For children with this peculiar illness, Western doctors were at a loss and had misdiagnosed the condition.
- Ye Ming took out a silver needle, pulled the child's clothes aside, and aimed at the acupoints before inserting the needle.
- The people around watched nervously, unsure if this young doctor really had a solution.
- The woman stood by silently, but from the way she tightly held the plastic bag, it was clear that she was also anxious.
- After a set of silver needles were inserted and withdrawn, it took only half an hour.
- After the acupuncture, the child's complexion was no longer as pale, and when his temperature was measured, it had returned to normal.
- "Has it really recovered?" the woman couldn't believe it.
- For the past few months, her child's temperature had been fluctuating, and the doctors were unable to help. She never expected that this young doctor could actually bring down her child's temperature.
- The onlookers were also amazed. Could this young man really be a miracle doctor?
- "Thank you, doctor. I'm really grateful to you. I don't know how to repay you!" The woman's eyes were filled with tears. She had run out of money and could only kneel down and bow as a way to express her gratitude.
- Ye Ming quickly helped her up.
- "Sister, it was just a small effort for me. It's not easy for you, a single mother, to take care of your child. Your child has this strange illness, and you would rather spend all your savings than abandon him. You are a good mother, and I should help you."
- The woman wiped away her tears. It was the first time she had felt such warmth from society.
- The people around felt ashamed after hearing this. When the woman had knelt down earlier, many had watched but no one dared to help, afraid of getting involved in trouble.
- Especially some middle-aged people who felt that young people were not responsible enough, and they felt even more guilty.
- A middle-aged man took out a thousand yuan and approached the woman.
- "It's not easy for a single mother like you to raise a child. Take this money, it's just a small help."
- The woman was stunned that someone would give her money. She wanted to refuse, but the man had already placed it in her hand and walked away.
- The people around started to donate money, taking out whatever they had on them and giving it to the woman.
- Tears welled up in the woman's eyes as she suddenly received help from so many people. She was deeply moved.
- "Thank you, thank you, everyone," she kept bowing.
- "I'll prepare some Chinese herbal medicine for the child. Have him drink it three times a day, morning, noon, and night. After half a month, he will fully recover."
- Ye Ming said as he prepared the medicine and handed it to the woman.
- The woman wanted to pay, but Ye Ming refused.
- "No need to pay me. The medicine is not expensive. Take good care of your child."
- "Thank you, you are all good people," the woman said, wiping away her tears.
- "Go back now and make the medicine for your child." Ye Ming said.
- The woman nodded and pushed the stroller away.
- After she left, the others started to get restless, wanting Ye Ming to help them with their illnesses.
- "Doctor, please help me. I've been feeling dizzy lately and uncomfortable."
- "Doctor, please help me. I've been having trouble sleeping and my urine is dark."
- A group of people clamored for his attention.
- Ye Ming shouted, "Everyone, please line up and wait your turn. Don't rush."
- Suddenly, the clinic's business boomed, and everyone lined up one after another.
- With his eyes like a divine gaze, Ye Ming didn't need them to explain their symptoms. With just one glance, he knew what the problem was and wrote prescriptions directly.
- As a result, the diagnosis process was fast, with each person taking only two to three minutes. It was incredibly efficient.
- Some patients who came to the hospital and saw the long queue outside the clinic were curious and, driven by the herd mentality, joined the line.
- As a result, the line of people grew longer and extended more than a hundred meters from the clinic's entrance.
- Ye Ming didn't know how to charge for his services since he didn't have much experience. In the end, he decided to charge a lower fee, only ten yuan for any non-serious illness. If it was a condition that didn't require medication, he would diagnose for free.
- The patients were surprised. They had never seen a doctor who charged so little. It was too cheap. Wouldn't he be losing money?
- Ten yuan was not even enough for the registration fee at Yunyang Hospital, but here they could see a doctor and get medicine.
- With so many patients, Ye Ming had a fulfilling afternoon. It wasn't until after 6 pm when there were no more patients that he finished work and went home.
- When he entered the house, Gu Xiaonan was already sitting in the living room with her arms crossed, watching TV.
- "Wife, why are you back so early today?" Ye Ming was a bit surprised.
- Gu Xiaonan frowned slightly.
- "What were you doing? Why did you come back so late today?"
- "Oh, I opened a small clinic near Yunyang Hospital. Business was quite good this afternoon, so I came back late," Ye Ming scratched his head.
- "A clinic at the hospital entrance? And many people went to see you? You're just bragging," Gu Xiaonan said, skeptical and thinking it was unrealistic.
- Ye Ming shrugged, "If you don't believe it, it's fine. You'll see when you have time."
- "I do have to go to the hospital tomorrow for an inspection. Don't think you can get away with lying," Gu Xiaonan said coldly.
- Originally, she had wanted to take care of Ye Ming since he was alone and unfamiliar with the place. But after seeing him so intimate with Su Qi last night, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She didn't want to talk to him anymore.
- Ye Ming noticed that Gu Xiaonan was in a bad mood and decided to go back to his room.
- But just as he took a few steps, Gu Xiaonan called him back.
- "Wait, we have a dinner tonight."
- "A dinner?" Ye Ming was surprised.
- "No more nonsense, you'll see when we get there. You have ten minutes to choose a nice outfit. Don't embarrass me," Gu Xiaonan said before returning to her room.
