674: Chapter 670: Bone Setting 674: Chapter 670: Bone Setting Ye Tian glanced at the injured old man and asked, “Old man, would you like me to set your bones for you?”
“I’m willing!”
This old man had indeed been somewhat domineering before, not letting the doctors from the People’s Hospital set his bones, but after Ye Tian demonstrated his superb Acupuncture Technique in front of him, he had come to trust Ye Tian quite a bit.
So naturally, he agreed without hesitation.
“If that’s the case, sir, let’s begin!”
Saying this, Ye Tian’s hands were already on the old man’s injured right shin, and with an extremely fast motion, he set the man’s dislocated bones back in place.
Although his movements were quick, they weren’t the slightest bit rough, and the old man had already been anesthetized by Ye Tian’s silver needles, so he didn’t feel a thing.
“…”
The doctor from the People’s Hospital could only watch in a daze, struck speechless by the speed of Ye Tian’s bone setting.
Generally speaking, setting bones too quickly often leads to a lack of finesse in handling the severity of the condition, causing the patient with the fracture to be in unbearable pain.
He had never seen a patient remain so calm during bone setting…
“Young man, is it done?”
Seeing that Ye Tian had finished setting the bones, the old man asked carefully, his foot already felt as if nothing had happened.
“If we were only using the hospital’s methods, it would be done now!
But my bone-setting process isn’t over yet!”
Ye Tian said with a smile.
“There are other steps?”
Hearing this, the old man didn’t dare move any longer.
Ye Tian then took several more silver needles from the box and inserted them into the old man’s right shin.
The old man clenched his teeth; although his body had been anesthetized, watching the silver needles penetrate his flesh still made his scalp tingle…
After inserting the needles, Ye Tian started massaging the old man’s legs, and the old man felt a warm current enter his legs.
In an instant, the bruising dissipated, and his meridians opened up significantly.
“There’s such a method of setting bones!?”
The doctor standing behind was amazed as he watched Ye Tian work.
As an orthopedic specialist, he had set bones for many years and had never seen anyone combine bone setting with acupuncture therapy.
Could this be a secret technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine that could clear the body’s meridians and quickly heal physical injuries?
After a while of massaging, Ye Tian then let go and pulled out the silver needles that had pierced into the old man’s flesh.
“It’s all set now, no more issues!
Sir, you can try to walk on your own now!”
The onlookers were all sighing in admiration.
They had all seen Ye Tian skillfully set the old man’s bones, and although the man’s foot looked as if nothing was wrong, could he really move around on his own now?
If the old man twisted his foot while moving now, wouldn’t that aggravate the injury and make it even more severe?
“Really, let me try walking on my own?”
Even the old man himself seemed hesitant; his shinbone had been fractured, and just moving it a moment ago had been painful, how could he dare to stand and walk on his own?
However, after Ye Tian’s series of treatments just now, perhaps his injured shinbone had really been set properly!
“It’s alright, old man, give it a try!”
As he spoke, Ye Tian also removed the silver needles that had been inserted into the old man’s neck, and the old man felt his whole body tingle again, regaining sensation…
But even with his sensation restored, his foot didn’t feel the slightest bit of pain.
It was truly an incredible skill, and the old man was himself a veteran practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but he did not know that Chinese medicine could be so marvelous!
“Sir, you shouldn’t listen to him!
The bones have just been set, and any movement could cause the leg to fracture again!
You should stay on the stretcher, let us take you to the hospital!”
The doctor from the People’s Hospital tried to persuade him, but the old man wouldn’t listen and, feeling very good, carefully stood up…
“Huh?
I can really stand up?”
After standing up, the old man immediately exclaimed excitedly; not only could he no longer feel any pain in his shin, but he was also able to walk freely.
“My goodness!
This is miraculous!”
Not only could Ye Tian set bones, but his method of setting them was extremely sophisticated, managing to make the man’s injured leg recover as if nothing had happened, immediately after setting it.
“Young man, thank you!”
The old man thanked Ye Tian, while the orthopedic specialist from the People’s Hospital couldn’t remain calm.
“What kind of joke is this?
Damage to muscles and bones takes a hundred days to heal, that’s common medical knowledge, how could possibly someone’s bones recover immediately after being set?…
You two must be swindlers, right?
This old man, his leg was never really fractured, was it?”
What was happening before his eyes was a huge blow to the doctor, so he began to doubt Ye Tian and the old man all over again.
“Doctor, don’t be like that…”
Next to this doctor, a nurse tried to calm him down, having never seen the doctor lose his composure like this.
However, setting a bone on the spot and making a fracture heal immediately, as if nothing happened, seemed too incredible no matter how one looked at it!
“My God!
Am I dreaming?
It really did heal just like that!”
“Yes!
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have known that such miraculous medical skills exist in this world!”
“It’s really too exciting, today, even if I’m late for work, it’s totally worth it!”
…
The surrounding onlookers were all in favor of Ye Tian, so no matter how much the doctor from the People’s Hospital doubted, he couldn’t change the facts…
“Doctor, although this elderly gentleman looks fine after being treated by this gentleman, he is, after all, advanced in age with fragile bones.
Even if he has fully recovered, I still suggest that he go to the People’s Hospital for a check-up.
If the examination shows no problems, it will put his mind at ease.”
The nurse beside the doctor persuaded, offering everyone a way out with this suggestion.
The doctor, taking the hint, suppressed his anger and advised, “Old sir, the nurse is right!
Your foot may look fine, but we can’t guarantee it won’t relapse.
After all, a broken bone isn’t so easily healed, so please come to the People’s Hospital for a check-up.
I promise you, the hospital won’t charge you a cent!”
It wasn’t just the doctor who thought this was a good suggestion – the surrounding onlookers thought so too!
“Old man, just go take a look!
After the check-up, you’ll feel more at ease.”
“Although this young man’s medical skills are excellent, there is always a chance of something unexpected.
After being checked and ensuring everything is fine, you won’t have to worry anymore, right?”
“That’s right, seniors should always pay attention to their health and be sure not to take it lightly!”
…
The onlookers kept persuading, making the old man somewhat hesitant.
“…”
Ye Tian was speechless.
His medical skills were indeed excellent, so since he had said that the old man’s leg would fully recover, there definitely wouldn’t be any problems.
But these doctors insisted on making needless complications, and Ye Tian couldn’t be bothered to explain…
Moreover, at the moment, he had more important things to do.
Where did he have the time to waste arguing with these doctors?
So, Ye Tian no longer concerned himself with the old man and the doctor’s business.
He moved away, intending to head into the shopping mall.
“Wait, young man, you can’t leave!”
To Ye Tian’s surprise, the old man grasped hold of him.
Ye Tian was taken aback, and the old man immediately showed a full-faced apologetic smile.
“Young man, this time, I’m very grateful to you for setting my bone, and your technique is excellent.
I, as an old practitioner of traditional medicine, truly feel inferior!
So, could you please accompany me to the People’s Hospital for this visit?”
Ye Tian was confused and said, “Old sir, I am in a hurry.
If it’s just for a check-up at the hospital, there’s no need for me to accompany you.
Besides, your leg is already healed, and you don’t need someone else to support you, right?”
No sooner had he spoken than the doctor from the People’s Hospital in front of him began to mock him with sarcasm!
“Kid, I don’t know what method you used to set this old man’s bone, but if you’re afraid to even go for a check-up, doesn’t that prove you have something to hide?
Are you afraid that the hospital’s advanced equipment will reveal something?”
“…”
Ye Tian was left speechless by this statement.
If only he had known earlier not to meddle, now he had wasted his time and, in the end, had to accompany the old man on this trip…
While Ye Tian was hesitating, the crowd around him began to chatter again!
“Yeah, young man, just accompany the old man for this one trip.
Help out to the end, send the Buddha to the West, respecting the elderly and caring for the young are our societal virtues, aren’t they?”
“One who stands upright does not fear a crooked shadow.
Once it’s confirmed that the old man’s foot is fine, you can in turn scold these doctors and nurses, right?”
“That’s right!
A true man acts decisively.
How could he be afraid of facing the situation?”
…
The onlookers heaped one platitude after another on Ye Tian’s head, leaving him in a difficult position.
Left with no choice, Ye Tian sighed and said, “Alright, old sir, I will accompany you to the hospital for a check-up.
Once it shows there are no problems, I will leave immediately!”
“Thank you, young man!”
The old man was teary-eyed with gratitude, and Ye Tian accompanied him onto the ambulance.
After arriving at the hospital, the old man, accompanied by the doctor and nurse, went to get an X-ray while Ye Tian, having nothing else to do, waited outside.
It didn’t take long for the old man to finish his X-ray, but the results would take some time to be delivered.
The old man sat next to Ye Tian, grateful, “Young man, thanks to you this time.
While I was getting the X-ray, I felt my foot was just like when it wasn’t injured, so I’m sure there won’t be any problems with the results!”
“Sir, I’m glad you’re alright.
I hope next time you’ll be more careful.
After all, you’re not young anymore, and it’s not every time you can meet a doctor as skilled as me!”
Ye Tian sighed, thinking of the underground water vein beneath the pedestrian street mall and the magical jade stone in the water vein.
Spending the whole morning in the hospital hardly seemed worthwhile…
