"Oh my, I didnât expect the head doctor to be possessed. No wonder we couldnât diagnose it!"
"Doctor Xuâs medical skills are truly extraordinary; he can even diagnose symptoms of possession. It clearly shows his experience is far beyond ours!"
"Alas, itâs pitiful. How did the head doctor become possessed? Even Hua Tuo reincarnated like Doctor Xu is helpless, then surely not even an Immortal could cure it!"
Doctor Xuâs words and the crowdâs discussions extinguished all hope in Madam Ruanâs heart. Her eyes revealed an unbelievable sadness and despair, her entire body trembling. The housekeeper behind her quickly supported her, "Madam, take care of your health!"
"How... how could this happen!" Madam Ruan clutched her chest, tears streaming down. "My husband was perfectly fine. How could he have become possessed..."
Suddenly, Nianyangâs calm and clear voice sounded from behind, instantly reaching everyoneâs ears, "Who said this head doctor is possessed?"
The crowd was stunned and followed the voice to see a young girl with delicate and beautiful features, yet thin and dark, clearly underage.
Doctor Xu, seeing himself being questioned by a little girl, immediately frowned and said displeased, "Little girl, are you questioning my judgment? Iâve practiced medicine for years, with rich treatment experience. The head doctor fell into a coma because of dirty things, possessed by evil, otherwise how could even a large hospital not find the symptoms?"
Doctor Xuâs words prompted the other doctors to nod in agreement. Yes, the head doctorâs illness is strange, and everyone is helpless. Isnât it just evil spirits at work?
Nianyang laughed, "What a possession by evil spirits! Our country has been reforming and opening up for so many years; the chairman said to eradicate the âFour Olds,â feudal superstitions are not to be believed, to liberate peopleâs thoughts. Yet as a doctor, you lack ideological awareness, and disguise your inability to diagnose by deceiving the patientâs family with feudal superstitions. Is this the moral conduct of a doctor?"
Her gentle words were akin to a resounding slap that made Doctor Xuâs face turn purple, and other doctorsâ faces also blushed!
Nianyang had invoked the chairmanâs words, what more could they dare to say?
Doctor Xu took a deep breath, suppressing his inner panic, and sternly said, "You... where did this wild girl come from, daring to speak nonsense here. If the head doctorâs illness canât be diagnosed, if itâs not possession, then what else could it be?"
Doctor Xu thought that since no one present could diagnose the head doctorâs illness, if he insisted it was possession, who could prove him wrong?
Nianyangâs lips subtly curled, and her shimmering eyes radiated a chill akin to winter frost, "Whether itâs possession or not can be determined by checking the head doctorâs pulse!"
Doctor Xu was taken aback, and Madam Ruan, grasping at straws, asked, "Little girl, do you mean you know a doctor who can help treat my husband?"
"No, I am the doctor." Nianyang calmly said, "I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."
Madam Ruan stared at her in disbelief, a young girl claiming to be a doctor?
All the doctors looked at Nianyang incredulously, then laughed. All the doctors present were past middle age; how could they believe a teenage girlâs word?
Doctor Xu, initially somewhat flustered, heard Nianyangâs words and replied with cold sarcasm, "A teenage brat probably canât even distinguish medicinal herbs; yet she dares to claim herself a Chinese medicine practitioner. Is she treating us as fools?"
Madam Ruan pursed her lips, and the gleam in her eyes faded instantly.
