Rural Mad Doctor

Chapter 360 Betting on Cure for Serious Illness

Duan Jiuzhi was furious upon hearing this.

Isn't this just disrupting the market?

You can cure diseases, right? I'll find you one!

He found one of his seriously ill relatives in the mountain village.

It was his sixth uncle, whom he had declared incurable and sent home to die.

Now that they say there's a miracle doctor in Hetang Village, he deliberately came to make things difficult for Cao Erdan.

His sixth uncle's two sons and daughter pushed him in a wheelchair.

At this moment, Duan Jiuzhi's sixth uncle looked ashen.

So thin he looked like skin and bones, with no flesh at all.

Carry an oxygen machine with you to help with breathing.

His eyes were tightly closed, and his face was lifeless.

"Who is the miracle doctor? If you are, come and cure this patient!"

Duan Jiuzhi shouted provocatively.

He ignored the patients queuing next to him who greeted him.

They used to be my patients, but now they come here to queue up.

Duan Jiuzhi was filled with hatred.

Why don't you all just "crack" and die of illness all at once!

He didn't even look at them, only at Cao Erdan and Li Jinggang.

Li Jinggang also knew this Duan Jiuzhi.

Just as he was about to offer some advice, Duan Jiu waved his hand:

"Let's not waste any more words. If you call yourselves miracle doctors, then you should have some miraculous abilities. Otherwise, take down your signboard!"

Cao Erdan knew that he had come to provoke him.

With a smile, he asked, "So, can you cure this patient?"

"I can't cure it, and I dare not call myself a miracle doctor!"

Cao Erdan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You can't even cure it, yet you're pushing it onto me for treatment. Isn't that making things difficult for me?"

Duan Jiuzhi immediately understood.

This kid is going to chicken out.

"You call yourself a miracle doctor, right? I heard everything, Dr. Cao, aren't you? What kind of miracle doctor can't cure intractable diseases..."

Cao Erdan waved his hand:

"This is just late-stage cirrhosis, what kind of intractable disease is it? It's not that I can't treat it, but I'm too lazy to bother with such a minor ailment. How about this, let my apprentice treat him!"

These words caused an uproar.

Duan Jiuzhi personally admitted that he could not cure the disease.

Cao Erdan, however, said it was a minor problem and asked his apprentice to fix it.

This is clearly much stronger than Duan Jiuzhi.

Duan Jiuzhi angrily said:

"If you can't cure it, just say you can't. What does it have to do with you if Li Jinggang treats it? He didn't learn his medical skills entirely from you!"

Cao Erdan shook his head:

“Who said Old Li treated him? I was talking about Young Li. Mengdie, come here, take a look at this patient.”

Li Mengdie had been watching from the sidelines for a while.

This patient looks terminally ill; he can't even cure himself!

But Cao Erdan said that they could only take two steps forward.

When he got to Cao Erdan's side, he whispered in his ear:

"I can't do it..."

Cao Erdan gave her a wink, and she fell silent.

Cao Erdan went to the patient and reached out to feel his pulse:

"The patient is already in the late stage of cirrhosis, with symptoms of abdominal distension and ascites! Does the patient often experience nausea and aversion to oily foods? That indicates jaundice. Currently, there is gastrointestinal bleeding, which may cause vomiting blood and black stools."

After a few words were spoken, the patient's children were immediately astonished.

Cao Erdan's diagnosis was more accurate than they expected.

After a whole day of examinations and tests at a big city hospital, and a consultation with doctors, Cao Erdan could tell the truth just by feeling his pulse.

The patient's daughter hurriedly asked:

"Doctor, is there any hope for my father?"

Cao Erdan nodded:

"If my diagnosis is correct, the patient will be in danger within the next few days if he does not receive proper treatment."

Duan Jiuzhi was using his sixth uncle's illness to make things difficult for him.

But my sixth uncle's family genuinely wanted their loved one to get better.

The eyes of the two sons and one daughter immediately filled with hope:

"Little miracle doctor, can you help with this? Just tell us how much it costs, and we'll sell everything we own to pay you!"

Cao Erdan smiled slightly:

"First, I see your filial piety; second, this Mr. Duan is challenging me, so I will not charge you a single penny for curing your father's illness!"

The family members were immediately moved to tears of gratitude.

To be honest, my father's illness has already cost us most of our family fortune.

Not to mention going to the city, they spent tens of thousands just at Duan Jiuzhi's place.

The siblings didn't have much money left.

But Cao Erdan changed the subject and looked at Duan Jiuzhi:

"Dr. Duan, I'm telling you, my apprentice can cure patients you can't. How much money are you willing to bet with me?"

Duan Jiuzhi and Cao Erdan were at loggerheads:

"What if you can't cure it? You can close the hospital down and never let it reopen!"

"No problem, but if we cure him, your clinic can still stay open, after all, it's a place for treating and saving lives. But you need to come up with 200,000 yuan, I don't want it, give it to the patient's family so they can take good care of their elderly father!"

These words immediately revealed the difference in character.

Duan Jiuzhi kept pressuring Cao Erdan, but Cao Erdan actually said he would give the money he won in the bet to the patient.

Everyone who had come for medical treatment immediately felt close to Cao Erdan.

This is the kind of moral character a doctor should possess.

Duan Jiuzhi glanced at Cao Erdan, then at Li Mengdie.

They simply didn't believe that the two of them could cure patients they couldn't cure.

With gritted teeth, he said, "Fine, I'll take the bet with you. It's just two hundred thousand!"

Li Jinggang already knew that Duan Jiuzhi's sixth uncle had an incurable disease.

I had previously considered a liver transplant to save my life.

However, the family couldn't come up with that much money, and by then they had already missed their chance.

Li Jinggang quickly reminded Cao Erdan:

"Master, please be careful!"

"It's alright, let Mengdie practice her skills!"

Cao Erdan turned around and gave Li Mengdie a few instructions.

"Come on, let the patient lie down on the bed."

Li Mengdie also trusted Cao Erdan completely, and was full of confidence at this moment.

Directing the patient's family members.

They carried the patient into the examination room, placed him on the bed, and took off his clothes.

The door was open, and you could see inside through the window.

Everyone gathered around to watch.

Duan Jiu stood at the door with a gloating expression.

Cao Erdan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the examination bed, quietly guiding Li Mengdie.

Li Mengdie also mustered her courage and began to treat the patient according to the acupuncture techniques taught to her by Cao Erdan!

Thirty-six silver needles were inserted into thirty-six major acupoints on the patient's body.

It only took a few tens of seconds.

Although he wasn't as fast as Cao Erdan, his positioning was accurate.

If Cao Erdan were to do it himself, his methods would be even faster.

This is the "Dragon Circulating Qi Needle".

Although the acupuncture technique was extraordinary, Li Mengdie lacked the dragon's energy, so the effect was much less pronounced.

However, Cao Erdan was prepared.

He took out a high-grade Qi-replenishing pill from his storage ring.

Cao Erdan refined a total of thirteen high-grade Qi-replenishing pills.

Zhang Dazhu and Huang Benchu ​​each gave one.

He swallowed four pills at the critical moment of life and death.

There are seven left.

Taking one out now is also for the purpose of treating illnesses and saving lives.

This sixth uncle's illness was terminal; it could not be cured by acupuncture alone.

Moreover, Cao Erdan was willing to invest heavily in order to build a reputation for his hospital and increase Li Mengdie's credibility.

He instructed Li Mengdie:

"Crush it, mix it with water, give him half a pill, and give the rest to his family to finish over seven days."

Li Mengdie did everything as instructed.

The pills were fed to him.

The thirty-six silver needles inserted into the patient's body trembled simultaneously.

This is the power of the Qi-replenishing pill combined with the Dragon-Traveling Qi-regulating needle.

The detoxification process for the patient's body begins.
