248: Chapter 246 Big Trouble 248: Chapter 246 Big Trouble “This is just a matter of repairing the ruptured capillaries,” said Tangyu.
Yan Yan glared, “Just a matter?
Xiaoqing has vasomotor rhinitis, making the capillaries in her nasal walls extremely fragile, and her constitution is somewhat weak, to begin with, lacking in platelets.
With the current dry weather and the contraction caused by the changes in temperature, it’s easiest for the capillaries to rupture, leading to severe and hard-to-stop nosebleeds.
Nosebleeds are a challenge in medicine, one that hasn’t been completely conquered yet.
Otherwise, I would have cured Xiaoqing long ago in my hospital.
This kind of condition can only be managed by a long-term gradual treatment.
It’s not as easy as you make it sound.”
She had just thought Tangyu seemed like a stable man, but now it seemed not entirely so, somewhat frivolous perhaps.
Tangyu shook his head with a light smile, “You’re not wrong, but that is modern medicine, which I don’t understand since I study traditional Chinese medicine.
However, this condition is not much of a problem for me.
If you’re not at ease, after the blood transfusion, you can take Xiaoqing for a thorough examination.
Then you’ll see that what I say is no lie.” To him, this medical problem was no more difficult than treating a common cold, or rather, it was even easier than that.
Modern medicine might have difficulty repairing the capillary fragility caused by rhinitis, but Tangyu could effortlessly do it.
Just by using Pure Yang Qi to repair it, the capillaries would become absolutely tough and the problem would be completely eradicated.
Yan Yan’s eyes widened in surprise and of course, skepticism toward Tangyu.
Even in traditional Chinese medicine, it couldn’t be this amazing right?
In her opinion, the most advanced in the world was still modern medicine.
High-tech equipment, as compared to the old traditional Chinese methods, ought to be much more impressive.
So naturally, she found it hard to believe Tangyu’s words.
If rhinitis could be cured so easily, it would be a great blessing for the medical community.
But she also felt that Tangyu didn’t seem to be joking or bragging.
And most importantly, Xiaoqing really was better.
“Yanyan, Tangyu’s medical skills truly are amazing.
He has no need to joke about this,” Mo Xiaoqing said, showing her trust in Tangyu’s words.
Though she found it unbelievable, she chose to believe without hesitation, a trust coming from within that required no justification.
Yan Yan laughed, “Oh, isn’t that something?
How quickly the tune changes.
Why do I feel like I’m being abandoned?”
Mo Xiaoqing’s face turned red and she retorted with a delicate voice, “Stop talking nonsense.” While speaking, Mo Xiaoqing also stole a glance at Tangyu and saw no displeasure on his face, but rather a hint of delight.
Her face, already somewhat reddish, became even hotter, and her heart began to beat furiously as bashful thoughts raced through her mind.
She appeared quite the picture of adorableness, like a young girl experiencing her first crush.
“Alright, I believe you.
But just to be safe, I’ll still take Xiaoqing for a thorough examination later.
Heh, it seems your medical skills are indeed exceptional.
But it’s odd, if you’re such a good doctor, why would you go to a high school to work as a school doctor?” Yan Yan was genuinely curious; the first impression of a school doctor was a job with no prospects, a small salary and no other benefits, and not much prestige either.
If one could work as a doctor in a big hospital, the future would be wide open.
“Yanyan, you’re getting more and more gossipy.
Why ask so much about someone else’s private life?” said Mo Xiaoqing.
Yan Yan smiled, “What’s wrong, feeling protective?
Don’t you know?
I’m super gossipy now.
Even if it’s for the happiness of my good sister, I must inquire clearly, right?
Otherwise, how can I be at ease.”
“What are you even saying?
I already told you it’s not what you think,” said Mo Xiaoqing.
Ignoring Mo Xiaoqing’s embarrassment, Yan Yan turned to Tangyu and said, “Come on, tell me.
Maybe I can introduce you and see if you can get into our hospital.”
Tangyu curled his lips with a faint smile and said, “What if I tell you I don’t even have a medical license, so it’s quite good that I can work as a school doctor.
Does that count?”
“Ah, you don’t have a medical certificate?
That’s interesting.
A curious case, really – someone so skilled in medicine yet without a license.
Don’t they require that in school?” Yan Yan asked.
“What if I tell you that I actually learned my medical skills from my master, and I never even attended university?
How could I qualify to take such exams?” Tangyu explained.
“Ah!” Yan Yan exclaimed with her mouth agape: “Is that so.” She shook her head, puzzled why she was suddenly curious about Tangyu.
She would have thought Tangyu to be a high achiever academically – how come he never went to college?
It didn’t add up.
These days it was rare to meet someone who hadn’t attended college.
Without higher education yet possessing such an air and eloquence, and with such high medical skills, it didn’t make sense.
Of course, all this Yan Yan wasn’t completely convinced of just yet, as seeing is believing, and doubts remain without seeing enough.
“Oh dear, I forgot I have an important patient to take care of, I better go and check on them,” Yan Yan suddenly slapped her forehead and hurriedly left.
With Yan Yan gone, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
For Mo Xiaoqing, it was the first time being cared for by a boy while sick, and she couldn’t deny the feeling was both strange and wonderful.
“You’re fine now, and you won’t have nosebleeds anymore.
After a blood transfusion and some rest, you can go home.
I will call the school and get you a leave of absence, so just rest here without worry.
The most important thing is your health,” Tangyu said.
This tone gave Mo Xiaoqing a start, as if—it was the tone of a boyfriend.
However, Mo Xiaoqing felt a warmth and sweetness in her heart, having never before experienced such delicate care and attention from a boy.
Women are very easily moved creatures.
The man that women need doesn’t necessarily have to be very handsome, or wealthy and powerful; what they often want more is a man who can truly love them, cherish them, protect them, and give them a sense of security, someone who can stay by their side when they are vulnerable.
At the very least, this is what Mo Xiaoqing expected from a boyfriend.
“Mm,” Mo Xiaoqing nodded obediently, her gaze towards Tangyu was filled with deep affection, profound as the ocean.
Being moved can often be a powerful weapon to conquer a woman’s heart.
Tangyu was very clear that if he boldly confessed to Mo Xiaoqing now, the chances of winning her over were definitely above eighty percent.
This was definitely a great opportunity.
However, Tangyu didn’t want to rush and break this layer of relationship, to puncture this thin sand.
Maintaining the status quo was actually quite nice, at least for the current Tangyu, who preferred things this way.
Otherwise, it would fix his situation too rigidly, making his path forward difficult.
Because Tangyu needed more than just the woman Mo Xiaoqing.
“Mm,” Tangyu’s ears suddenly twitched, and his brows lifted, “Not good, it seems like something has happened to Yan Yan.
I’ll go check it out.” With that, Tangyu swiftly dashed out.
Turning left out the door, Tangyu saw an open ward, and Yan Yan’s voice was indeed coming from there.
Tangyu rushed in with swift strides, scanning the room, and quickly his eyes settled on Yan Yan, who was standing beside the bed.
At that moment, her face was somewhat pale, displaying fear and trepidation.
In front of her stood a stern-looking middle-aged man in a suit, who was angrily roaring at her.
On the bed lay an elderly man.
After observing the elder for a few moments, Tangyu’s brows also furrowed slightly.
The old man’s condition was extremely dire, his breath extremely weak, and he could pass away at any moment.
Seeing this scene, Tangyu immediately understood what had happened.
The patient on the bed must be the one Yan Yan mentioned she was taking care of.
The man was receiving an IV, and from the empty IV bottle, it was clear that Yan Yan had forgotten the time, leading to a mistake, failing to replace the IV promptly, which caused the elder’s critical state.
This had the family member extremely agitated, and he was furiously lashing out at Yan Yan.
“You can’t even take care of a patient, what kind of nurse are you?
I pay so much money a day for a deluxe ward, is this the kind of service I get?
Is this how you watch over my dad?
If anything happens to my dad, you can forget about having peace.
Where’s the doctor?
Why haven’t they come yet?” The middle-aged man was furious, spewing vitriol.
Yan Yan was also terribly frightened, standing there somewhat dazed, looking lost.
She had never encountered such a situation before and had no idea how to respond.
This mistake was indeed her own, but she thought it shouldn’t cause too many problems.
It was just that the patient’s family member was overreacting.
“The—The doctor will be here soon,” Yan Yan said.
“Hmph, it’s been several minutes, and they’re still not here,” the man roared again, frightening Yan Yan into shrinking back.
Tangyu shook his head; he couldn’t really blame the patient’s family member given the situation.
The most important thing now was to stabilize the old man’s condition; otherwise, if it really led to a death, Yan Yan would be in deep trouble.
It could ruin half her life.
Tangyu didn’t hesitate and approached the bed, trying to stabilize the elder’s condition.
The middle-aged man threw a fierce glare at him and bellowed, “Who are you?
What are you doing?”
Tangyu’s face showed his seriousness for treating illness, and he glanced at the middle-aged man, “If you don’t want your father’s condition to worsen, it would be best if you closed your trap.
Don’t shout so loudly; it affects the patient.
Save your words for later.
Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize your father’s condition.”
“Are you a doctor?” the middle-aged man hesitated, before still lowering his voice and asking.
“Yes, I am a doctor,” Tangyu nodded.
“No, you are not my father’s primary physician, and I don’t even know you.
Plus, if you’re a doctor, why aren’t you wearing white?
You don’t look like a doctor.
You are not allowed to touch my father; the primary physician will be here any moment,” the middle-aged man immediately said, stepping in front of Tangyu and pushing him aside to prevent him from getting closer to the bed.
Seeing Tangyu appear, Yan Yan was stunned too, looking at him without being able to say a word.
Yet in her heart, there was a touch of gratitude.
“If you don’t want your father’s condition to deteriorate, then step aside and let me work,” Tangyu said, his tone allowing no room for doubt.
Hearing this tone and seeing the earnest face, the middle-aged man’s resolve softened a bit.
He knew his father’s condition was dangerous and any further delay could be dire.
