BXBX NOVEL Chapter 459: 459: Start Treating the Vegetative Person
She drove back to the medical clinic to collect her own set of acupuncture needles and some commonly used medical equipment, and brought them back to Shensong Hospital.
Song Kaiyan had already arranged a private office and clinic for her. As soon as she got back, Song Zhu brought her a hospital-specific white coat.
“Doctor Qiao, your work badge is still being made, and it should be delivered tomorrow.”
Qiao Yin thanked him with a smile, and then wore the white coat: “No rush, take your time with that.”
“The hospital’s signboard is also being remade, and the original ones above the entrance have started to be removed. On the media side, I have got in touch, and reporters will come for an interview tomorrow, then do a feature report on us.”
Qiao Yin could not help but admire: “Doctor Song is so efficient, I have more confidence in our future collaboration!”
With her praise, Song Zhu laughed: “I also hope that the hospital can recover as soon as possible, we have been running at a loss for a long time and can’t even pay salaries. Without you, the hospital might have gone into bankruptcy liquidation.”
“It will get better. Now, I’ll first look at the two vegetative patients and perform acupuncture on them, and then ask someone to monitor their conditions.”
“That sounds good, shall we go together? I haven’t seen Doctor Qiao’s skills in action yet!”
Qiao Yin thought he wanted to observe her medical skills, so she didn’t make a fuss about it and accompanied him to the ward.
Because the patient’s identity couldn’t be confirmed and their names were unknown, the hospital used room numbers instead.
The patient in room 505 was the one that Qiao Yin was confident about healing, so she came to room 505 first.
She took the patient’s pulse again, and Song Zhu also brought the patient’s whole body CT scan, as well as his medical records since he was admitted to the hospital.
This man had been lying here for more than half a year, his muscles had atrophied and he had become extremely thin.
If it weren’t for Song Kaiyan always having the nurses give him nutritional fluids and drugs, he would have perished long ago.
These expenses over such a long time had been quite substantial, but Song Kaiyan had never cared about these things. His heart was set on helping the patient survive and looking forward to the day when the patient would wake up.
The acupuncture process was complex and lengthy, but Qiao Yin always remained patient.
However, after the acupuncture was completed, the patient did not bleed from his mouth and nose like her grandmother did.
This was expected by Qiao Yin.
After all, her grandmother had received acupuncture immediately after her injury, while this man had been injured for far too long.
He would need many more acupuncture treatments before any significant effect could be observed.
But Song Zhu said on the side, “Dr. Qiao, when you were doing acupuncture just now, his fingers moved! Is he waking up?”
“His fingers moved?”
Qiao Yin hadn’t noticed this: “Just because his fingers moved, that doesn’t mean he’ll wake up soon, we still need to continue treatment, but him waking up is only a matter of time.”
Song Zhu looked at her with admiration in his eyes, “Doctor Qiao, you’re amazing, you can even wake up a vegetative patient, I’ve never met such a special doctor like you before.”
Qiao Yin shook her head, “I’m not amazing, I just got lucky that I can save him, his injuries happened to be very similar to someone I treated before, I have no confidence with the other patient.”
Song Zhu’s gaze became even deeper.
She’s talented, humble, and so beautiful, perfect in every way.
Perhaps she doesn’t realize how wonderful she is when she’s focusing on her job, like a gentle angel, saving lives.
He really wanted to ask if she had a boyfriend, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back down.
He would wait until they were more familiar to ask.
Asking now would make his intentions of pursuit too obvious, which might alarm her and push her away.
