Chapter 003: Acupuncture Techniques

Lin Feng, you have arrived—please take a seat, don't be shy

These words naturally cannot be spoken, so Lin Feng's original words were as follows: "Director Liu is experienced, and we young people should learn more; there is still a long way to go."

... ...

Lin Feng was left speechless, pondering in silence what kind of personality Ye Xin truly had

Director Wang is always very courteous to the young doctors

Liu Jing also felt it was hard to believe. What he found most unacceptable was that after Lin Feng administered two injections, the wound of the injured person actually began to heal slowly. It could even be said that after the two injections, sutures were no longer necessary; a simple bandage could suffice.

Lin Feng was taken aback and asked, "Director, how did you know this?"

Lin Feng hurriedly looked around and, after confirming that he was the only one with the surname Lin in the surgery department, immediately stood up and said: "Alright, I will go right away"

After passing through the dental corridor and taking the elevator to the 11th floor, Ye Xin crossed through the gynecology department, where a group of young women waiting for abortions were present. Upon arriving on the 11th floor, Ye Xin smiled at Lin Feng and said, "You can go by yourself; I still have other matters to attend to"

In the early morning, the sound of Liu Jing's furious roar echoed through the surgical office

"Alright, alright, thank you, doctor!" said the family member of the injured, who understood nothing and spoke hurriedly

Lin Feng sat down in his office, which was essentially a treatment room. Minor injuries and ailments could be addressed here, but for surgery, one would have to go to the operating room. Lin Feng lacked experience and, naturally, did not have the qualifications to perform surgery. Moreover, his surgical skills were quite average; however, his acupuncture technique was exceptional. The fine needles used for acupuncture in his hands could be described as penetrating without exception.

However, Liu Jing would not say that. If it were really that simple, how would hospitals make money?

Old Chen? He is about to retire and is losing his eyesight. Do you think he can still remember the pharmacy?

At that moment, Liu Jing walked in and shouted at Lin Feng: "What are you waiting for? Can you stop the bleeding? We must stop the bleeding immediately, or the injured person will be in danger! Quickly send them to the operating room!"

Lin Feng secretly thought: "That bastard Old Liu, relying on his seniority to bully newcomers, if he really pushes me too far, I will take him down directly"

Yet, Ye Xin did not leave immediately; she gazed at Lin Feng's back, a hint of astonishment appearing in her eyes. It was not until Lin Feng disappeared around the corner of the corridor that Ye Xin sighed softly and murmured, "How could it be him? His courage is so small..."

Lin Feng ultimately lacked the courage to ask Ye Xin why she had red hair, as she was the only person with red hair in the hospital; however, neither the director nor the general manager objected.

Lin Feng urgently asked: "Why?"

Hehe, such excuses have been used to death. Ye Xin continued to smile

If the little nurse is somewhat cute, she belongs to the office of the deputy director of surgery

Liu Jing immediately exclaimed, "What should we do? We must stop the bleeding!"

Lin Feng chuckled lightly, but inwardly he was sweating coldly. This acupoint and the required pressure were merely glimpsed in the "Qing Nang Shu"; he had no idea whether it could truly stop the bleeding. Now it seems that this medical classic is indeed as renowned as its reputation suggests

... ...

The nurse beside me whispered, "The operating room is full. Two people are undergoing surgery for uterine fibroids, four are having hemorrhoidectomies, and sixteen are undergoing circumcision"

"Oh, why are you like this? What happened to your eyes?" Ye Xin suddenly asked with a smile

Soon, a patient with a bleeding head was rushed in. Lin Feng quickly got up, assessed the injuries, and urgently instructed the nurse to prepare gauze and iodine for stopping the bleeding

Lin Feng! What is wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red and your eye sockets so dark? What did you do last night? If you cannot properly treat the patients today, you are in big trouble!

Ye Xin informed me. Director Wang took a puff of his cigarette, squinting his eyes as he smiled and said: "Young man, being able to stay under Old Liu's supervision for a month without uttering a word shows quite a remarkable level of patience!"

There are a total of 5 nurses in the surgical department. According to departmental regulations, they take turns on duty. The allocation of nurses is not managed by the nursing department, but is directly assigned by the surgeons. The system is as follows

Lin Feng felt that the dean was gradually pushing him into a pit, and the bait was Ye Xin, which he found very difficult to resist

Lin Feng, come here for a moment! Liu Jing called out.

... ...

A scene that is difficult to erase from the depths of memory emerges in my mind: a little girl squatting in the corner, looking pitifully at the passersby around her, her pale face still evokes a faint pain in Lin Feng's heart.

You? Liu Jing did not hide the disdain in her eyes and said: "As a recent university graduate, what else do you know besides applying medicinal alcohol?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and then asked, "How many people are there in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of our hospital?"

Originally, the beautiful young nurse Ye Xin belonged to the surgical department. However, later on, she was unwilling to continue there and was directly transferred to the internal medicine department, which surprisingly consisted entirely of experts over the age of 60. They had basically surpassed the age of being interested in light beauty women. Meanwhile, the young male doctors from other departments could only swallow their saliva in regret, lamenting that Ye Xin was truly a waste in internal medicine.

Lin Feng was astonished. Seeing this, Director Wang smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department has a subordinate Chinese medicine pharmacy, which has two pharmacists and two nurses. It seems that Ye Xin has also applied to transfer to work in the pharmacy and the library. What do you think?"

Several surgical nurses watched in horror, all anxiously sweating for Lin Feng, as this young university graduate seemed uncertain how much longer he could endure

Having spoken, he accurately identified the acupoint and skillfully inserted the needle. Unlike the kneading and insertion method used by other physicians, Lin Feng merely flicked his hand, and the long, thin needle had already penetrated the patient's body, to the extent that the patient felt not a trace of pain

Oh... that is... it was hit on the door frame

I heard that you just treated a patient with a head injury, and you managed to alleviate the pain with just two stitches, which would normally take a surgeon half an hour to heal, is that correct

If the little nurse is of average appearance, then the several surgeons in the department will play dice to determine her ownership

Lin Feng entered the office, and Liu Jing glanced at him, saying: "Where did you learn your medical skills? Although I am not very familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, I do know that stopping a head wound from bleeding with just two needles is no simple task"

Director Wang was in high spirits, his face glowing with health. The only drawback was that his head was almost completely devoid of hair, reflecting light beautifully. Every time the institute held a collective meeting, Lin Feng would gaze longingly at the bright expanse atop Director Wang's head, feeling as if he were joyfully running through a green field.

If the little nurse is very cute, she belongs to the director's office entirely

Should I work in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department

Ah, so many... The family members of the injured were somewhat surprised, but they did not say anything and obediently went to make the payment

Thus, Liu Jing feigned an air of superiority and calmly said to the family of the injured: "For now, we have only temporarily stabilized the condition. To achieve complete healing, we will need to stitch the wound to prevent it from reopening. Additionally, I will prescribe some medication that will aid in recovery."

From beginning to end, Lin Feng did not say another word. Watching this process, he asked himself in his heart: "Is this the profession I have always dreamed of? To heal the world, is it really just a dream?"

Liu Jing rolled her eyes and said, "Acupuncture, who knows if it really works? Can you guarantee success every time? Hmph, modern medical instruments are the real deal! Moreover, acupuncture requires so few consumables; how can our hospital survive? Therefore, you should not use acupuncture anymore. In our surgery department, we only need Western medicine, surgical knives, and instruments"

Lin Feng was taken aback and said, "Isn't there already Director Chen in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department? He is one of the top ten renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners!"

Liu Jing shouted angrily: "Then you shouldn't expect to receive a single cent in bonuses for the next six months!"

Director Wang is a highly qualified and experienced expert. Initially, he worked at the First Municipal Hospital and was later recruited to become the director. Before assuming the role of director, he served as the head of the surgery department, which was Liu Jing's predecessor. However, now Liu Jing can only nod and bow to Director Wang like a sycophant, as this reflects the direct hierarchical relationship between them.

Lin Feng, the dean wants to see you

Liu Jing then returned to the office and with a swift stroke, calculated that the cost of several medications along with the surgical fees amounted to over 1,000 yuan

Lin Feng! You little rascal, why is there a cockroach in my tea? It must have been you who put it there, right?! Lin Feng! You're finished; you can forget about this month's bonus!

Oh, I see! Please do not do such things again in the future!" Liu Jing said casually.

Lin Feng was at a loss for words as he returned to his office, but upon seeing the nurse on duty, he felt even more speechless

After the two needles were inserted, the blood from the injured person's head abruptly ceased to flow, as if it had been blocked. Several young nurses gasped in astonishment, exclaiming, "Lin Feng is amazing; he can really stop the bleeding with just two needles!"

Director, I am still in my probation period and do not receive a bonus said Lin Feng in a low voice

If the little nurse is as beautiful as a flower, handle it according to the regulations and give it to Lin Feng

"Director, this is an acupuncture method I came across in a book during my school years. That book is not very famous, so not many people know about it..." Lin Feng did not dare to mention the "Qing Nang Book"; how could anyone in the medical field be unaware of this book?

Not bad

Therefore, every time Lin Feng saw the nurse in front of the door smiling at him, he felt an impulse to die

If you go, Director Chen will still be alone.

The beautiful nurse Ye Xin is quite mysterious. It is said that her family has a notable background, yet it is unclear why she chooses to work in this hospital, which is not very profitable. Moreover, she has long red hair, which is even more surprising as it is not dyed and appears to be quite healthy and lovely. Especially in her uniform, she easily evokes the image of a loli-type beauty.

... ...

Lin Feng was in the treatment room, thinking about Ye Xin, when unexpectedly, Ye Xin's charming figure appeared at the office door

Lin Feng, however, remained silent. He took out a needle pouch from his pocket, extracted two needles, and said to the injured person: "Please do not move, it will be over soon!"

... ...

Director Wang chuckled and said, "Good! Good! I really appreciate young people like you who are humble and cautious! How do you feel about the work in surgery? Are you able to handle it?"

At this moment, Lin Feng said, "If it is merely to stop the bleeding, I can manage that!"

Just after sitting down for a short while, a sudden commotion erupted in front of me as several family members of patients rushed in, exclaiming: "Doctor! Please save my brother, he has a head injury!"

Lin Feng nodded and went out by himself
