Annalise twisted the patient’s waist, making him scream in pain again. “Please help him lie on his stomach,” Annalise said. Graham and Hector quickly helped the patient lie down, trying not to hurt him. “Sir, do you feel better?” Annalise asked.
She had just straightened the patient’s lumbar spine, which meant that the pressure on his lumbar spine should have been relieved. Also, it would reduce the soreness in his legs. The patient tried pinching his thigh and said, “Indeed, I am feeling better.” “Here, try lifting your leg backward,” Annalise said.
The patient sighed. “That’s impossible! I’ve been through so much these past years. I knew I wouldn’t die but at the same time, living was just torture. My entire body was paralyzed, and I couldn’t control my legs at all…. Eh, I can move my legs now?”
When he was complaining, he tried to lift his leg. He realized that somehow he could lift his leg. He was so shocked that he stuttered. “How is this possible?” He tried to lift his other leg and found that he could lift it too.
He was so excited that he cried. “I can move my legs now. Doctor, please help me to the end. You must do your best to save me. Make me stand up again. If you really accomplish that, I’ll kowtow to you.”
Originally, he only thought that Annalise was merely a young lady. Now, he realized that her technique was actually so effective. He immediately became respectful toward her.
Annalise smiled and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll recover soon. Look, I’ve only straightened your bones once, and you can lift your legs, right? The dizziness in your head is gone, right? As long as you cooperate with my treatment, you’ll recover very quickly.”
Traditional treatment places great emphasis on the patient’s mental state. It was very beneficial for the patient if they can cooperate with the doctor’s order and maintain a relaxed and happy mood. “I’ll
cooperate. I’ll definitely cooperate. No matter what you ask me to do, I’ll definitely do it,” the patient immediately said.
How many years had he been paralyzed? All these years, he had lived a life worse than being dead. He had already begged his daughter several times to buy him poison so that he could die. Every time he made such a request, his daughter would hug him and cry. He knew that he had been dragging his children down, but he had no other alternative. He was so sick that he could not get out of bed at all.
He had seen a doctor before. Three years ago, the doctor told him that he had to undergo surgery immediately. Otherwise, he might not make it. They asked around and the surgery fees and various treatment fees were more than 12 thousand dollars. Their family could not afford it at all.
Half a month ago, his daughter finally gathered 12 thousand dollars and wanted to take him to Neilsen Hospital for surgery. The doctor checked his condition and asked them to prepare 30 thousand dollars. They said that his illness had gotten more serious. There was not only pressure on his nerves, but there were also many blood clots in his brain as well. He had to have a stent installed.
With his current condition, he dared not even wish that he would be cured one day. If he could survive the surgery, he could live for a few more years. He immediately asked his daughter to take him out of the hospital. How could a family like theirs afford 30 thousand dollars? His daughter hugged him and cried again, saying that she was useless and would never be able to gather the surgery fees.
Coincidentally, there was a conference of traditional and modern medicine exchange. A doctor said that this was a difficult case and wanted to see if he could help him apply for a spot at the conference. If the application was approved, he could receive treatment for free. Since it was free, they naturally hoped to be lucky enough to get this spot!
They immediately asked the doctor to help them apply. Initially, he did not dare to have too much hope. After all, people already suffering tended to have more bad luck. What they didn’t expect was that, after
suffering for so many years, they were really blessed by fate and obtained a chance for free treatment.
At first, when he saw that the person treating him was a young lady, he sighed. He thought that there was indeed no free lunch in the world. He was only a guinea pig for a new doctor. But he couldn’t complain. If he could be of use to her, so be it. After all, he had suffered his whole life. He did not expect this young lady’s technique to be so powerful.
He had been paralyzed for so many years, but his legs, which had not been able to move, could actually be lifted now. This gave him hope. Annalise said, “Sir, I’ll treat you with acupuncture next. You will feel sore at some acupuncture points. Bear with it.” “Don’t worry. Just do your job,” the patient said..
He would not be bothered by a little soreness. When he had been paralyzed in bed, he had been in pain almost all the time. It had become a habit for him to groan in pain every day. Annalise smiled and started acupuncture.
Graham and Hector admired Annalise for some of her philosophies. Now that they had witnessed her bone-setting technique with their own eyes, they were even more impressed.
When they saw Annalise take out these needles, they could only stare. Annalise started acupuncture looking very focused. Annalise inserted needles into the patient’s waist one after another. Every time she inserted a needle, she would naturally twist it. At first, when the needle was inserted, the patient seemed to be quite relaxed.
After the twist, however, he couldn’t help crying out in pain, “It hurts! Doctor, I feel sick again. I need to throw up.” “Sir, relax. Take a deep breath. You have to relax. Just focus on the fact that you’ll be fine soon. This little pain is nothing.” As Annalise spoke, she inserted two more needles. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
The patient had already relaxed when he heard Annalise’s comfort. But after these two needles, he felt pain again and clenched his teeth tightly. His body could not help but tense up.
Graham and Hector were shocked. They were also good at acupuncture. When the patient’s meridians were blocked, the injection would indeed cause discomfort and swelling pain. However, they had never seen a patient swell like this.
As traditional medicine practitioners, they did not have Annalise’s prediction ability. They couldn’t know what the effect of their insertion would be or predict the swelling in advance. As expected, Annalise’s medical skills were not exaggerated.
Annalise went on with acupuncture. She treated the patient’s waist, bent legs, calves, neck, and other body parts. She had almost pricked the patient into a hedgehog. “Ahhh…It hurts” The patient gritted his teeth in pain and let out a painful cry. He stopped retching but sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his face began to turn pale. “Annalise, is this normal?” Graham asked softly.
“It’s fine. When a person is in too much pain, they will feel discomfort. Some of them will even go into shock. But it’s fine. They’ll be fine after it finishes,” Annalise said. If this happened in the past, Graham and Hector would be so offended. Now, they could only accept everything she said. They firmly believed whatever Annalise said.
Because they had seen Annalise’s technique with their own eyes. They were all doctors. They could easily tell whether someone was a good doctor or not. Ten minutes later, Annalise asked the patient, “Sir, how do you feel?”
The patient was already in so much pain that he had no strength left. He said weakly, “I thought I would die just now. But my death would actually be a good thing. If I die, I won’t be a burden to the younger generation. But now, I feel that I won’t die. Doctor, why do I feel the heat from my waist?”
