Chapter 598: Despised
"Auntie, your condition is just a case of high blood sugar leading to a general lack of strength, limb fatigue, thirst, and hunger. How about I give you an acupuncture treatment?" Bai Xiao was trying to use his own methods to earn the patient’s trust.
This hospital was not like the one run by Dean Zhang, where he could expect preferential treatment. His reputation here had to be earned by himself. Of course, there are also many military personnel, but those who come here for sprains and injuries are not accustomed to seeing a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In the Surgery department, there’s a doctor who specialises in treating such injuries and is said to work wonders. The latest medicine he developed is said to have relieved many patients’ pain. Because of his high patient approval rating, our TCM department’s only slight advantage has vanished.
Those who come to seek treatment now are mostly farmers from remote mountainous areas or people from ethnic minorities who believe that herbal medicine can cure all diseases.
"No need, doctor. Just prescribe me some medicine; that’ll be fine."
The old lady was somewhat dissatisfied. Why bother with acupuncture when she was feeling just fine?
She knew she wasn’t feeling well, but didn’t the doctor prescribe her some medicine last time?
After taking it, she felt quite good.
Why would he suggest acupuncture right from the start this time?
Acupuncture and the like are for those who are truly desperate, aren’t they?
"Madam, acupuncture could greatly alleviate the issues. Really, please give it a try?" Bai Xiao urged earnestly.
