Chapter 161: Quack Doctor

"Beg you? Who are you? Which hospital are you from?"
He Changsheng looked at Lin Feng in surprise, sizing him up from head to toe, and sternly interrogated him.
"I don't have a fixed workplace, but I know President Zhang Yuanqing of the Central Hospital," Lin Feng replied straightforwardly.
"Hehe, and here I thought you were some big shot. Turns out you're just an arrogant blowhard who is all talk. So what if you know Zhang Yuanqing? I even know the president of the National Western Medicine Association."
"What does that have to do with whether I can save people?"
Clearly distrusting Lin Feng's medical skills, He Changsheng waved his hand dismissively. "Step aside, kid, and don't interfere with our treatment."
"The patient is in a critical moment right now. If treatment is delayed, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."
"The ones who won't be able to bear the responsibility are you. If I'm not mistaken, you currently don't even have a way to stop the patient's bleeding. It's precisely because of massive internal bleeding in the skull that the patient has been unable to get out of danger," Lin Feng retorted directly.
"What? You actually..."
The sneer on He Changsheng's face vanished instantly. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to guess it right on the first try!
Could this kid actually know medicine?
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to have some skill, but even if you can guess the patient's condition, you can't save her. I am the chief director of the Emergency Department in Jiangcheng. Even I have no way to stop the bleeding, do you honestly think you have a method?" He Changsheng quickly questioned again.
"Insert silver needles into her Baihui and Dangyang acupoints, three parts deep, twirl them three times to the left and three times to the right. That will temporarily stop the bleeding in her skull. Otherwise, she will bleed to death without a doubt," Lin Feng said solemnly.
"Utter nonsense! Where did you learn some wild, unorthodox acupuncture technique, and how dare you order me around? I am far better at saving lives than you."
He Changsheng scoffed disdainfully, then handed the liability waiver back to Su Xiongwei. Once Su Xiongwei signed it, He turned around and hurried back into the emergency room to resume treatment.
Unexpectedly, however, no matter what methods he tried inside, he could not stop the bleeding in Liu Farong's skull; instead, her condition grew increasingly critical.
The heart monitor beside them began to beep shrilly. He turned his head and saw that the cardiac waveform of Liu Farong was rapidly flattening into a straight line, on the verge of losing her life.
"Director He, this is bad! The patient is experiencing cardiac arrest; I'm afraid she's beyond saving," an assistant doctor cried out anxiously on the side.
"Don't panic! Get me two silver needles."
Seeing that all hope seemed lost, He Changsheng suddenly recalled what Lin Feng had told him just moments ago and urgently barked an order to his subordinate.

A dead horse as a live horse doctor—what if this method actually worked?
The assistant doctor froze for a moment, wondering to himself: Wasn't the director a practitioner of Western medicine? Why did he suddenly want silver needles?
However, the situation was so urgent that he had no time to ask questions. He quickly prepared the silver needles and handed them over. He Changsheng took the needles, hastily and clumsily sterilized them, and then pierced them into Liu Farong's Baihui and Dangyang acupoints.
Following the method Lin Feng had described, he twirled them three times to the left and three times to the right, manipulating them back and forth. Then, the most unexpected thing happened!
The heart monitor beside them chimed once more, and Liu Farong's pulse actually recovered.
A look of ecstasy instantly washed over his face. He hurriedly repeated the same acupuncture technique, and within two minutes, the bleeding inside Liu Farong's skull had miraculously stopped as well!
The several doctors standing around him widened their eyes in utter astonishment!
They hadn't expected He Changsheng to possess such a trump card!
Of course, little did they know that He Changsheng himself had never expected those two silver needles to bring a dying person back to life.
Now that the bleeding in the patient's skull had stopped and she was temporarily out of danger, she could be transferred to a general ward.
He immediately walked out of the emergency room to report the good news to Old Mrs. Su and Su Xiongwei.
Upon hearing this, their faces were filled with joy!
"That is wonderful! As long as Farong is safe, I can finally rest easy. Director He, your medical skills are truly brilliant."
Overjoyed, Old Mrs. Su slowly walked over and grasped his hand.
"You're too kind, too kind. Healing people is my duty," He Changsheng said with a modest smile.
At that moment, Liu Farong was wheeled out of the emergency room. Seeing the two silver needles still stuck in the top of her head, Lin Feng knew immediately that He had used his method.
After Liu Farong was wheeled away, Lin Feng walked up to He Changsheng and smiled, saying, "Director He, I wonder what method you used inside just now to stop the patient's bleeding? Did you happen to use the acupuncture technique I mentioned?"
"Hmph, why would I use a method suggested by some quack?"
He Changsheng let out a cold snort, cast a disdainful glance at Lin Feng, and turned around to walk toward the ward.
He was worried that Lin Feng would try to steal the credit. This successful rescue was enough to elevate his fame throughout the entire emergency department to a whole new level.

However, what Lin Feng actually wanted to tell him was that relying solely on those two silver needles only temporarily halted the bleeding; the patient was not yet truly out of danger. To fully cure her, a complete set of acupuncture procedures needed to be performed.
Instead, He Changsheng left without listening to a single word.
"Hmph, Lin Feng, don't think you're the only one with brilliant medical skills. Now you know there's always someone better, don't you?" Before heading to the ward, Old Mrs. Su didn't forget to take a jab at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng showed utter indifference, letting out a light chuckle before following Su Qingxue and the others toward the ward.
Before long, Pei Changqing, the president of the First Hospital, heard the news that He Changsheng had saved a life using just two silver needles. Deeply amazed, he personally rushed to the ward to check on the patient's condition.
As soon as He Changsheng saw the president arrive, he eagerly stepped forward with a smile. "President Pei, why are you here? I have already stabilized this patient's condition, and she is out of danger."
"Is that so? I never imagined Director He had such a trick up his sleeve. Truly admirable. Having you in my hospital is a blessing indeed."
Pei Changqing patted him on the shoulder with words of praise, walked over to the hospital bed himself to assess the patient's condition, and casually asked, "Director He, now that the patient is out of danger, why hasn't she woken up yet?"
"Are you certain your treatment method will allow the patient to make a full recovery?"
"Yes, President. This patient suffered massive blood loss earlier, so her constitution is weak. It's completely normal that she won't wake up right away. As long as I give the patient an IV drip in a moment, she'll wake up very soon," He Changsheng explained with a smile.
"I see. Then go ahead with the IV. I'd also like to witness the magic of your medical skills firsthand," Pei Changqing nodded and instructed.
Eager to showcase his competence, He Changsheng immediately told a nurse to come over, prescribed the medication, and instructed her to prepare the drip.
Right after that, he walked up to Liu Farong, looked at the two silver needles on top of her head, and thought to himself that since the bleeding had already stopped, leaving these two needles stuck in her was useless anyway; he might as well pull them out.
However!
The very instant he stealthily pulled out the silver needles, Liu Farong's entire body shuddered, her complexion rapidly turned ashen, a mouthful of fresh blood gushed from her lips, and her condition once again plunged into critical danger.
"Th-this... what is going on here?"
Seeing this scene, Pei Changqing was startled on the spot and asked urgently.
Old Mrs. Su and the others also widened their eyes in shock, having no clue what He Changsheng had just done.
