Nianyang shook her head; a doctor who is so willful and doesn’t listen to advice is destined for a bad ending.
She said all she needed to; if the other party wouldn’t listen, there’s nothing she can do. She focused solely on treating Assistant Wang.
The acupuncture process is quite lengthy. Nianyang used silver needles on various poison-draining points on Assistant Wang, slowly releasing the toxic blood from the rashes.
While doing this, Ni Jia had already finished hanging the saline in no time and prescribed several doses of Western medicine for everyone to take.
Western medicine is famous for its fast efficacy. Soon after taking the medicine, the sailors who were in pain and rolling their eyes felt significant relief.
"Dr. Ni is incredible; she stabilized everyone’s condition in no time."
The doctors and nurses were in awe.
Of course, one must consider who Ni Jia is. Was her title as the First Female Doctor given for nothing?
Ni Jia smugly glanced at Nianyang, who was still doing acupuncture on Assistant Wang, and said, "Didn’t you say my treatment method was useless? Yet, it’s working now. On the contrary, you Chinese medicine practitioners only have those few tricks up your sleeves; they’re completely unscientific. Such severe rashes can’t be fixed with just a few needles. If you mess up, Assistant Wang’s life could be at stake!"
"Monkey, what are you waiting for? Quickly stop this woman; she’s going to kill Assistant Wang!" Sheng Feng couldn’t help but shout.
Monkey, standing closest to Nianyang, saw clearly that as Nianyang performed acupuncture step by step, the color of the dark patches on Assistant Wang’s body was fading, and Assistant Wang didn’t even make a sound, which was clearly a sign of improvement.
Just as he was about to speak for Nianyang, the sailors behind suddenly shouted,
"Ah, I’m in so much pain! The rashes seem to be getting bigger..."
Ni Jia turned to look and saw that the rashes on the sailor who had been given saline were larger than before, with colors deepening and looking extremely ferocious.
"How could this happen? They seem to be getting worse..."
The medical staff was horrified, and chaos ensued.
"Dr. Ni, quickly check what’s going on!"
"Don’t panic; it might be an allergic reaction to the medication. I’ll prescribe some more anti-allergy medicine."
Ni Jia calmly prescribed them more medicine, but after feeding them, the situation didn’t improve; instead, the sailors were in such agony that they rolled off the bed.
Now everyone understood—this was clearly a sign of worsening illness, and it seemed that Ni Jia’s treatment method indeed had serious issues.
"Impossible! How can it be ineffective? My Western medicine cannot be useless! It must be that the dosage was too small!"
Ni Jia murmured in disbelief, unwilling to give up and wanting to increase the dosage but was interrupted by the doctors there, who couldn’t stand it any longer,
"Enough, Dr. Ni! It’s clear that there’s a problem with your medication. Are you even taking your responsibilities seriously? Do you want to kill them?"
"Look, Assistant Wang’s rashes are gone!"
A nurse pointed at Assistant Wang, who had already had the toxic blood drained and was now receiving Nianyang’s cupping therapy.
Assistant Wang had regained consciousness now; he lay on the bed, and the series of large rashes on his body had flattened, with his skin color returned to normal.
"It’s miraculous! Chinese medicine truly worked!" The medical staff were in a daze, "I never thought this young girl would be so skilled..."
"Don’t judge a book by its cover!"
Those who had doubted Nianyang felt their faces burn; they had looked down on Chinese medicine, but now, Nianyang’s skills proved to everyone that Chinese medicine was not inferior to Western medicine, perhaps even superior!
