Chapter 323 Damn It, It Was Immediately Effective!
In the hospital.
There were many who expressed their doubts about Fang Qiu treating patients at the acupuncture department, especially Shen Chun.
Shen Chun who had just changed into his white coat immediately called Fang Qiu when he heard that Fang Qiu had returned to the hospital but had transferred to the acupuncture department.
“Mr. Shen?” Fang Qiu said after he accepted the call.
“Have you returned to the hospital?” Shen Chun asked.
“Not really,” Fang Qiu said with a nod. “I’ve only come back to the hospital to accumulate some practical experience.”
“Does that mean that you’ve truly gone over to the acupuncture department?” Shen Chun pressed.
“I’ve just arrived,” Fang Qiu replied.
The patient also had aches in his hip and back areas, so he selected the Mingmen and Shengyu pressure points as the complementary acupuncture points.
He started to insert the needles after the patient took off his clothes.
There were many doctors gathered outside the consulting room who watched him as he treated the patient.
The doctors gathered outside were not only from the other specialized departments but there were also many doctors from the acupuncture department.
They were all curious to know if Fang Qiu who had been an orthopedic physician could actually perform acupuncture!
In the consulting room.
Fang Qiu selected a number 32 stainless steel filiform needle from his box of acupuncture needles.
He inserted the needle into the main pressure point before he moved on to the complementary pressure point.
He applied the reinforcing-reducing manipulation method to manipulate the needle.
He used the reinforcing method on the Taixi, Mingmen, and Shengyu pressure points while he used the reducing manipulation method on the other pressure points.
Then he left the needle in situ.
The doctors gathered outside suddenly thought that Fang Qiu seemed to know what he was doing and he had performed the acupuncture in a professional manner.
“Uh… he seems to really be here to treat patients.”
“He seems rather professional.”
“Impossible. He is only a first-year college student. Even if he is very skilled at boneset, how could he manage to progress to see patients at the acupuncture department? Is he trying to deprive us of our jobs?”
“He has really good technique.”
“He managed to stimulate the patient’s Qi in one needle and didn’t make a mistake even after inserting so many needles. He didn’t even need to redo any part of the process. I must say that his acupuncture techniques are incredible.”
This was a comment made by a doctor who worked in the acupuncture department and his comment left everyone gaping in astonishment.
How did Fang Qiu manage to have such great acupuncture techniques?
No wonder the Director dared to allow him to start treating patients immediately!
However, wasn’t Fang Qiu still a student?
Moreover, he had been an orthopedic physician just several months ago, so how could he have learned acupuncture so quickly in such a short span of time? How could he have gotten so skilled at it?
In the consulting room.
Xu Miaolin nodded to himself as he watched Fang Qiu.
He could see that Fang Qiu’s techniques were built on a foundation so solid that it was beyond his expectations.
On the other hand, Fang Qiu completely ignored everyone’s stares.
He gave his patient his full concentration.
He extracted the needles 30 minutes later.
“How do you feel?” He asked as he extracted the needles.
“Hmm, I seem to have regained some sensation in my hands,” the patient exclaimed in surprise as he moved his fingers. “My fingers felt numb this morning and I would have needed several acupuncture treatments to regain the sensation in my hands in the past. How did you manage to do that after one session?”
Xu Miaolin was surprised to hear that.
“Why was Fang Qiu’s treatment so effective after one session? Is this truly related to his ability to perform Qigong?”
The doctors who were gathered outside the door were completely stunned.
“Damn it, that was immediately effective!”
“I heard that Parkinson’s is a very tough disease to treat and that the acupuncture treatment cycles were typically very long. This is the first time I’ve seen such an effective treatment after one session.”
“Yes, how could Fang Qiu be so skilled? Had he learned acupuncture in the past?”
“Based on his performance earlier, I think that most of the doctors at the acupuncture department are not even as skilled as he is.”
“This kid must be some kind of freak. It is one thing to be so good at bonesetting but now, he has also shown that he is very good at acupuncture too. This is too much!”
…
In the consulting room.
“‘I’m glad to hear that,” Fang Qiu said with a smile. “This isn’t a difficult disease to treat but at the same time, it isn’t easy to treat this disease either. Although you’ve managed to regain sensation in your hands after one session, this would not cure your disease completely. It will take at least five sessions for your disease to be completely cured.”
“Is this disease curable?” The patient asked in surprise.
“Of course,” Fang Qiu replied with a smile.
“Great, I’ll definitely be back,” the patient said excitedly.
He had been living with this disease for some time but he had not been able to find a cure for it. Now, he finally found a physician who claimed that it could be cured. Although this physician seemed very young and looked as though he was new to the hospital, he had to admit that this young physician was very skilled with an acupuncture needle.
At the very least, no other doctor had managed to allow him to regain any sensation in his hands after just one acupuncture session.
“That’s all. Please remember to look after your health when you return home,” Fang Qiu said.
“Of course, thank you, doctor,” the patient said as he turned to leave.
After the patient left, the doctors who were gathered outside Fang Qiu’s consultation room also turned to leave.
They already knew the answer to their question.
…
Soon, the news that Fang Qiu was highly-skilled at acupuncture spread like wildfire throughout the hospital.
The physicians who heard this news couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.
“Is Fang Qiu really an expert at acupuncture?”
“Impossible. Fang Qiu is so young so it is already an incredible achievement to have mastered boneset, so how could he have also mastered acupuncture?”
“However, there were so many doctors who witnessed Fang Qiu treating a patient at the acupuncture department earlier. The doctors from the acupuncture department said that his technique and selection of pressure points were very good.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s what I heard too. The patient seemed very grateful to Fang Qiu.”
“Damn it. What is the world coming to? Fang Qiu must be some kind of freak for having mastered both boneset and acupuncture!”
“Sigh, I used to think that everyone would start at the same starting point when we are born but now, I’m of the opinion that Fang Qiu’s starting point was miles ahead of ours!”
Soon, the doctors and nurses in the hospital couldn’t stop talking about Fang Qiu.
There were many patients queuing up to see a doctor in the orthopedics department on the seventh floor.
The nurses were also kept very busy.
These nurses started chatting during a short break.
Then, the patients waiting for their turn at the orthopedics department caught wind of the fact that Fang Qiu was seeing patients at the acupuncture department.
Then, things took a turn for the worse.
Many of these patients had heard about Dr. Xiao Fang and knew about his miraculous achievements at the orthopedics department.
Unfortunately, Dr. Xiao Fang had left the hospital.
However, now they heard that Dr. Xiao Fang had returned!
These patients immediately decided not to visit the orthopedics department and went downstairs to take a queue number for the acupuncture department.
“That’s strange,” the staff members in charge of the registration process were surprised to see so many patients wanting to visit the acupuncture department and started wondering whether they should allow these patients to visit the acupuncture department.
This was because acupuncture treatments would take some time.
The acupuncture physician would not only have to inspect and diagnose the patient, but he would also have to perform the acupuncture on the patient.
It would take any time from 10 minutes to one hour to finish a session.
Thus, it was impossible for the doctors at the acupuncture department to treat so many patients in a day.
After at their highest capacity, the acupuncture physicians would only be able to treat two or three patients at a time.
Fortunately, the acupuncture department didn’t receive many patients usually and this was why there had never been a limit set as to the number of patients who could visit the acupuncture department in a day.
However, they didn’t limit the number of patients who could see him, would the doctors be able to finish treating them all?
More importantly, the acupuncture department didn’t clearly state that the doctors would only be seeing a limited number of patients.
They weren’t left with much of a choice and the staff could only issue them with queue numbers as per the patients’ requests and reminded them that if they couldn’t get to see a doctor today, their registration fees would be refunded.
