However, if that were the case, the uncle wouldn't have lasted long enough for her to appear.
Seeing Su Ruojin come out, the young man hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my father?"
"The branches have been pulled out and the medicine has been applied, but we still need to observe them for a while. I'll write a prescription for the patient to drink. They'll have a slight fever tonight and tomorrow, and if the fever subsides the day after tomorrow, they'll be saved."
It wasn't a sterile operating room, and there was no alcohol, only strong liquor and herbal powder. Su Ruojin didn't dare to make any absolute statements.
She prescribed a formula to clear heat, reduce inflammation, and lower fever, and handed it to the young man, asking him to get the medicine. She also divided the powder into a seven-day supply and handed it to Doctor Li.
"Use this powder to change his dressing once a day. It should be about seven days. After that, you can switch to the clinic's regular wound medicine."
"Okay, okay." Doctor Li quickly took it and put it away.
The middle-aged man felt immense regret upon seeing how quickly the young man had cured the old man. He thought to himself, "If I hadn't hesitated back then, would my mother be awake by now?"
He disregarded everything else, dragging his broken leg to kneel before Su Ruojin, tears streaming down his face, "Doctor, please save my mother."
Su Ruojin didn't have time to dwell on the uncle's earlier hesitation, and went to the aunt's side to take her pulse.
"Has Dr. Wei treated you before?"
"Yes, but Dr. Wei hadn't finished treating her when..." The middle-aged man choked up and couldn't speak.
"Fortunately, Doctor Wei treated her, otherwise your mother would be dead by now," Su Ruojin said, taking out a pill from her bosom and feeding it to the old woman.
"Take him back to the examination room."
"Okay, okay." The uncle was about to say something when a sharp pain shot through his leg, and he almost fell.
"Uncle, let me help you." Someone nearby stepped in to help carry the old woman back to the examination room.
Su Ruojin also instructed that no one was allowed to come in. She closed the door, undressed the old woman, and began to administer acupuncture.
After the needle was removed, the old woman's lips had turned from purple to white.
Su Ruojin wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked out of the room. "The person has been saved, don't agitate her anymore."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man tried to kneel down and kowtow to Su Ruojin, but a sharp pain in his foot caused him to fall forward.
Fortunately, someone nearby reacted quickly and caught him.
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor." The middle-aged man wiped away his tears.
Su Ruojin wrote out a prescription and handed it to him, saying, "Take one dose of this medicine every day for the first month, then one dose every three days after that, then one dose every five days after that, and take it for life. Unless there is a major shock, your mother's heart condition will generally not flare up."
The middle-aged man was stunned. Even Doctor Wei had said that even if his mother woke up this time, her heart disease could still flare up at any time.
I never expected that this young doctor would say that as long as my mother keeps taking the medicine, her heart disease won't flare up. Is that true?
After explaining everything, Su Ruojin was about to leave the clinic. She had done all she could; the rest was up to fate.
The other patients and doctors at the clinic, including the middle-aged man with a broken leg, were not seriously ill, and the clinic's doctors could handle them.
But just as she was about to leave, a patient at the clinic stopped her, begging her to treat him.
Fearing that Su Ruojin would refuse, everyone hurriedly took out all the money they had and looked at Su Ruojin with expectant faces.
Su Ruojin glanced around and saw that there were only seven or eight patients in the clinic. It wouldn't take much time to see them all, so she agreed.
She first set the middle-aged man's leg. The others were just suffering from common colds, headaches, and abdominal pains, which were easy to treat. She finished the consultation in half an hour.
After writing out the prescription, while everyone was queuing to get their medicine, Su Ruojin left the clinic and disappeared into the crowd.
By the time everyone realized they hadn't paid the doctor's fee, Su Ruojin was nowhere to be found.
The uncle and aunt later woke up, having escaped death, and gradually recovered.
Those treated by Su Ruojin that day recovered quickly.
Rumors began to circulate in Longxiao City that the apprentice of the Medical Sage had arrived.
Many powerful families sent people to Dragon Sky City to search for the Sage of Medicine's disciple, but to no avail.
