Chapter 489: Chapter 489: My leg finally has feeling again!
This was the first time Qiao Yin had diagnosed someone’s pulse in front of such a large audience.
Fortunately, she was very focused when she worked, with all her attention on the patient.
Otherwise, being stared at by so many pairs of eyes might make her feel uncomfortable.
The diagnosis took a long time but no one spoke, everyone watched her with a mix of curiosity or skepticism.
Only the patient himself looked completely despondent, holding no hope at all.
Qiao Yin had noticed the scars on his wrist, one of them looked new, suggesting he had attempted suicide recently. His mental state had deteriorated to the extreme.
However, his clothes were clean and he himself was neat and had no strange smells, clearly someone had looked after him well.
After the diagnosis, Qiao Yin, with the help of her cousin, lifted the patient onto the treatment bed.
He was surprisingly light for a grown man, even lighter than the old lady, showing just how much weight he had lost.
Qiao Yin began by checking his cervical spine, backbone, and lumbar spine, then started the acupuncture treatment after confirming there were no problems with these areas.
His case was different from the old lady’s, so instead of gold needles, Qiao Yin used more rigid stainless steel needles.
The acupuncture started from his head and went all the way down to the coccyx.
When Qiao Yin began applying needles to his legs, he suddenly winced in pain.
The old lady was stunned, so was the patient.
Qiao Yin only smiled, “Hang in there. There are more needles to go on the leg.”
The patient’s unfavorable face got replaced by shock. He looked at Qiao Yin for the first time, “You, you… I, I can feel the pain in my legs now? I can feel pain?”
He turned to his mother who had been taking care of him, tears falling down, “Mom, I can feel pain in my legs! After five years, I finally have sensation in it!”
The old lady knelt down immediately, kowtowing to Qiao Yin, “Thank you, doctor. Thank you for saving my son regardless of our past grudges. Thank you!”
As Qiao Yin was in the middle of the treatment and couldn’t help her up, Ye Wan quickly lifted the old lady, “Old lady, your gratitude is too much, please sit down! Although you’ve been treated by Doctor Qiao and your condition has improved, you still need to keep your emotions stable. Extreme happiness or sorrow could easily trigger another episode.”
The old lady was crying uncontrollably, the long-standing weight on her heart lightening a bit, her son’s disease finally saw hope!
The onlookers watched with wide eyes, and someone whispered in awe, “My God, Doctor Qiao is a miracle healer!”
“Unbelievable! He has been paralyzed for five years. Just an acupuncture session with her and the patient regained his feeling? Could Chinese medicine really be this miraculous?”
“Our Chinese medicine has thousands of years of history and is one of our national treasures. When practiced well, it indeed works wonders!”
“This is so touching, I feel like crying. Can someone pass me a tissue please?”
“Me too, I feel like crying. It seems we misunderstood Doctor Qiao and this clinic, they didn’t kill anyone.”
“Yes, this old lady comes to curse them every day, yet they are still willing to help and treat. They are truly good doctors!”
The surrounding murmurs didn’t stop, but Qiao Yin just smiled and said nothing, focusing on continuing the acupuncture treatment for the patient.
After more than half an hour, the acupuncture treatment was finally done.
The patient touched his leg nervously, “Doctor, will I be able to stand in the future? Can I feel anything other than pain? Can I be a normal person again?”
The old lady also watched Qiao Yin with unparalleled anticipation, waiting for her response.
None of the spectators left, all watching Qiao Yin, curious if she was capable of healing him.
For the first time, Qiao Yin felt the pressure of ardent expectation from the patients and their families. Also, she deeply felt that as a doctor, she carried enormous responsibilities.
She replied earnestly, “You will be able to stand, if you are not afraid of the pain, I might even let you stand right now.”
