The old man waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor or not. Other than you, no one would treat me!”
Liu Shimei raised er eyebrows and did not say anything else. She took the gloves and washed them with hot water to disinfect them before hanging them in the yard to dry.
After that, she went to write a prescription.
She was afraid that the old man would run around with his festering wounds, so she planned to go and get the medicine herself.
As for what the old man said about not having money, she did not think too much about it. She asked the shopkeeper to deduct it from her salary and took the medicine back to the emergency room.
“I haven’t even given you money, and you’re already giving me medicine?” The old man was surprised.
Liu Shimei replied, “If you have money, you can return it to me later. Forget it if you don’t have money. These medicines aren’t worth much.”
The old man was even more surprised. “As a doctor, you don’t need money to treat patients. Aren’t you afraid of dying of poverty?”
“I’m not treating everyone for free! Where are your relatives and friends?” Liu Shimei asked.
“None!” The old man shook his head. “I only need to feed myself!”
Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and glanced at his clothes, but she did not say anything.
That’s right, she did not believe that the old man said he was so poor that he could not afford to see a doctor. People who were really poor to the point that they could not afford to see a doctor would not wear such low-key but expensive material.
Of course, ordinary people would not be able to tell, but how could Liu Shimei not know that he came from a prestigious family?
Coincidentally, Xu Xian had already gone to wash up and came back. He stood at the door and did not dare to come in. He asked, “Miss Zhi Liu, is there anything I can help you with?”
Liu Shimei was a little surprised that he would come back, but he came at the right time. It was always too tiring for her to do it all by herself. So she looked out the door and said bluntly, “If you’re willing, help me boil this medicine and bring a basin of hot water over.”
This young man knew what was good for him!
“Alright!” Xu Xian replied.
After he left, the old man’s lips seemed to curl up into a smile as he casually said, “Young lady, you’re quite a good person at such a young age. That errand boy isn’t old either. He’s clearly afraid of my pus, but he still dares to come over? Should I say that you guys are bold, or that the ignorant are fearless?”
Liu Shimei was sorting out the medicine for external application. She did not answer his question but said, “Do you know why he and I were sent here to treat you?”
The old man raised his eyebrows and stopped asking.
Why?
Naturally, they were both ostracized!
Any normal person would be afraid to see his body full of blisters. However, the clinic could not choose the patients, so they had to receive them. Then, who would receive and who would treat him?
It was those people who usually had the lowest status!
Therefore, he was assigned a doctor’s apprentice, and the worker was still very young!
Not long after, Xu Xian came over with hot water. He stood at the door and did not dare to walk toward the old man. He asked again, “Miss Zhi Liu, is there anything else you need?”
“You don’t have to be so afraid. Even if you’re infected, I can cure you!” Liu Shimei laughed.
Xu Xian heaved a sigh of relief.
Liu Shimei said, “You came at the right time. Take this antidote pill. I’ll have to trouble you to apply the medicine on this old man. After all, I’m a woman. It’s not convenient.”
With her guarantee, Xu Xian was no longer so afraid.
He was usually diligent, and he was not afraid of getting dirty or tired when he did work.
After applying the medicine to the old man, he changed his clothes. The medicine was also ready and he brought it over for the old man to take.
“If you don’t want these clothes, then burn them. If you still want it, boil it in boiling water for two quarters of an hour. It can still be worn after being exposed to the sun.”
“Which doctor’s disciple are you?” the old man stared at Liu Shimei and asked..
