Because they were opening the next day, everyone packed at the medical center for the entire day until late at night. Just as they were about to close, a woman came over with a man in his early twenties.
“Doctor! Doctor! Save my son!”
Physician Fu had just finished checking the medicine cabinet when he heard
Madam’s call. He hurriedly walked over. “Let me take a look!”
The woman looked at her injured son and choked. “I heard that your Benevolence Hall’s medical skills are brilliant, so I came over. Doctor, you must treat my son!”
If Su Xiaoxiao or Manager Sun were here, they would treat the patient first. No matter if they were from the Benevolent Hall or not, they did not hear those words!
However, Physician Fu was an honest person. When he heard this, he said,
“Benevolence Hall is next door. We just opened…”
The woman interrupted him. “What? You’re not from Benevolence Hall?”
She left and looked at the plaque. The plaque was not hung yet, but it was not Benevolence Hall.
Annoyed, she helped her injured son away.
“Sigh…” Physician Fu wanted to remind her that the patient was seriously injured and not to drag him so forcefully.
However, the woman had already left without looking back.
“What happened?” Su Xiaoxiao walked over from the backyard with a dustpan of dried herbs.
Physician Fu said, “A patient just came to look for Benevolence Hall and found us. I think he’s injured.”
Benevolence Hall was already closed. The doctor was about to get into the carriage when the woman quickly stopped him.
“Doctor! You’re a doctor of the Benevolence Hall, right? Save my son! My son fell from the carriage! He can’t move his arm!”
This doctor was also capable. He was from the side branch of the Hu family business and was chosen to come to the main branch because of his good medical skills. He was a few years older than Physician Fu and had a little beard. He looked older and more trustworthy.
The coachman said, “If it’s not serious, come back tomorrow…
The woman scolded, “How is it not serious? Can’t you see that my son can’t move his arm?”
Her voice attracted the vendors and passersby on the street.
Everyone surrounded them curiously.
Doctor Hu frowned and controlled his temper. He said in a broad tone,
“Madam, calm down and let me take a look.”
With that, he got off the footstool.
Only then did the woman’s expression improve. “Thank you, Doctor.”
Doctor Hu asked the coachman to carry the oil lamp while he treated the other party on the spot.
He asked, “Where are you feeling unwell?”
The man said, “I fell off the carriage. My entire body hurts. I can’t move my arm. ”
Doctor Hu gently held his right arm. “Is it this arm?”
The woman was shocked. “Doctor, be gentle!”
Doctor Hu smiled. “I know what to do.”
There were more and more onlookers.
Doctor Hu shook his right arm slightly. “You still can’t move?”
“I can’t move.”
“Where else does it hurt?”
“It hurts everywhere.”
“What about the head?”
“My head doesn’t hurt.”
looked at his clothes. They were still intact. Other than a scratch on the back of his hand, there was no other bleeding.
Doctor Hu said gently, “Your arm is dislocated. I’ll reattach it for you. It will hurt a little. Bear with it.”
When the man heard that it would hurt, he was immediately afraid.
Doctor Hu patiently comforted him. “Don’t be afraid. It won’t be long.”
The man turned pale with fear.
Doctor Hu pressed his shoulder with one hand and held his arm with the other. He shook it twice. Just as the man’s heart was almost in his throat, he connected it back!
The man shouted.
He thought it would hurt, but it didn’t.
He was stunned. “Aye?”
Doctor Hu smiled and said, “See if you can move?”
The man tried to move. “Eh? I can move it! My arm can move! Mother! I can really move! Hiss—”
He moved a few times and suddenly gasped. “It hurts, it still hurts a little.”
The woman was worried again. “Doctor… this is…”
smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s normal for there to be a slight pain. After recovering, you have to recuperate for half a month. Try not to move your arm during this half a month.”
The woman was relieved.
The surrounding citizens clicked their tongues in praise.
“As expected of Benevolence Hall. My next-door neighbor was in the same situation as him. He has been in pain for a few months! He hasn’t recovered yet! He even has some illnesses!”
“Why didn’t you find a doctor?”
“I did! That doctor can’t do it. If he came to Benevolence Hall, he wouldn’t have to suffer that sin!”
“But of course, the Hu family owns the Benevolence Hall. The Hu family has a Court Commissioner!”
“I’ll come to Benevolence Hall to treat my illness in the future.”
“Let’s talk about it when you can afford it!”
This was the truth. Benevolence Hall was not a place where Bodhisattvas operated. There was a price to pay for saving the dying and helping the injured. The doctors in the hall had brilliant medical skills, and the consultation fee was more expensive than that of other medical centers.
This woman was clearly not short of money. She immediately took out a silver ingot and handed it to Doctor Hu.
did not reach out to take it. The coachman took it.
“Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!” The woman thanked him repeatedly and pulled her son’s hand to leave.
Suddenly, a cold voice stopped her. “Wait, you can’t leave.”
Everyone turned around.
The woman looked at the little fat girl walking over from behind the crowd and asked, “Who are you?”
Physician Fu also squeezed out.
The woman recognized him. “It’s you! You’re from next door…”
The old pharmacy next door closed down and a new pharmacy came. Many commoners who often walked this street knew.
“What do you want?” the woman asked angrily.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her son and said to her, “Your son’s injuries are very serious and need resuscitation.”
The woman’s face darkened. “My son is fine. What nonsense are you talking about?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “If we don’t save him, he won’t survive tonight.”
The woman said angrily, “You, you, you… what are you saying? You’re cursing my son! Are you blind? Can’t you see that my son is lively? The doctor of the Benevolence Hall has already treated my son’s injuries! I think you’re running an illegal shop! You’re here to smash his signboard!”
Doctor Hut s expression turned ugly.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said coldly, “If you want to snatch business, you can’t do it like this. This young master’s arm has already been reinstated. Don’t spread rumors here.”
A peddler chuckled and said, “The doctor of the Benevolence Hall has already said that he’s been cured. Where did they get the guts to question the medical skills of the Benevolence Hall?”
Another peddler mocked, “He just wants to cheat some money!”
The woman snorted. “I won’t fall for a black-hearted pharmacy like yours!”
As soon as she finished speaking, her son raised his hand to his chest and fell down with a pained expression.
Everyone gasped!
“Son!” the woman screamed.
Doctor Hu also had a look of disbelief.
It was just a dislocation and his head was not injured.. Why was this happening?
