Chapter 441 - I Am a Doctor
Chapter 441 I Am a Doctor
Currently, the truck driver was in a critical condition. Although he was the perpetrator, he was still a human life, after all.
But the problem was that like the bus, there was also a large dent on the front of the truck, and its door could not be opened, due to the force of the impact after the collision. The driver’s upper body was not significantly injured, but his lower body was undoubtedly trapped in the driver’s seat. If the driver’s seat was not forcibly cut away with the aid of tools, the driver could not be saved.
Ding Ning took a deep breath. If he waited for the traffic police to come and work out ways to save the driver, it would be too late.
He could no longer conceal his strength. With all the muscles of his arms rippling, he grabbed the truck door and pulled hard.
With a clang, the truck door was torn apart. Instantly, a hush fell over the noisy site. Everyone was astonished and stared at Ding Ning in disbelief.
Even the injured ones stopped whining as they witnessed the incredulous sight.
“The truck door was damaged, right?”
The middle-aged man who had just been saved, gulped and said this in disbelief.
“It must be, or else how could a man have so much strength?”
“Right, that truck door must have been loosened by the impact of the crash, and then that young man was able to take it down.”
“I thought I met a superman.”
...
The middle-aged man’s words gave Ding Ning an excuse, to hide the exposure of his strength. After all, the ordinary people would subconsciously resort to a reasonable explanation for some things they witnessed that were beyond their belief. Inadvertently, he solved a big problem for Ding Ning.
Having no time to think any more, Ding Ning climbed into the driver’s seat and found that there was a strong smell of alcohol permeating the space. “This guy was obviously drunk while driving.”
Ding Ning did not think too much, because saving the driver was more important. He gripped the part of the steering wheel that was close to the driver with his left hand, while he held the backrest of the driver’s seat with his right hand. The veins on his forehead bulged as he pulled hard with all his strength.
With a crack, the backrest of the driver’s seat broke off. Giving a wry smile, he dropped the broken pieces of the backrest in his hand and tugging at the bottom of the driver’s seat, pulled hard again.
As a creak sounded, the entire driver’s seat was shifted more than ten centimeters backward by him. Ding Ning then heaved a sigh of relief and taking the driver’s wrist, launched the Absolute Touch.
The driver’s condition was critical. His legs were crushed, resulting in a comminuted fracture; his internal organs were damaged, leading to a large amount of hematoma; there were also blood clots in his brain because it had been suffered a tremendous impact; even his heart was also showing signs of failure.
After Ding Ning diagnosed his condition, his face became extremely serious. Bringing the driver down from the truck, he placed him flat on the ground of a cool area, took out his silver needles, and began to render treatment.
“Young man, the ambulance is arriving right now. If you can’t give him the correct treatment, you will have to assume responsibility for your actions”
An older car owner, who was involved in a rear-end collision, warned him kindly.
“Right, young man, we know you have a good heart and want to save the man, but if something bad happens, you will have to bear the consequences.”
“Now when we help an old lady up and bring her to the other side of the road, we will first have to ask her if she can afford the treatment, let alone this being a man’s life.”
“If something happens, you will be sued. Young man, helping others is good, but we can’t afford to bring trouble upon ourselves.”
“Right, you’ve done your best, so don’t create any more trouble for yourself.”
...
Under Ding Ning’s direction, all these car owners who were involved in rear-end collisions, joined him to save lives and had a good impression of Ding Ning. Seeing what he was doing, they also gave him all kinds of advice.
Ding Ning knew what they said was correct. Even if he did not do anything now, he had already gained a good reputation for helping others, and there was no need to trouble himself.
What was important was that he was not sure if he could save this driver, but even if he could, the driver would probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison, for causing two deaths due to drunk driving.
If he could not bring the driver back to life, this would probably create a great problem for him. If something terrible happened, he would have to face a lawsuit. After all, it was hard to do good these days.
To save him or not to save him, that was a dilemma for Ding Ning.
If he chose to save the man, he would probably be at a disadvantageous situation; if he chose not to save him, he would feel guilty. After all, this was an actual human life.
“If I choose to save him now, I am still 30% sure I can bring him to consciousness; but when the ambulance comes, he will be a dead man. It is the doctor’s duty to help the dying and injured, so I can’t allow a living man to die in front of me, when I am able to do something to help.”
Just as numerous thoughts flashed across his mind, Ding Ning made a resolute decision and inserted his silver needle into the driver’s body.
“Alas!”
Everyone around him heaved light sighs. Although they thought that Ding Ning was too idealistic, they admired him, subconsciously.
No one noticed that among the crowd, a beautiful girl about 17 or 18 years old, was secretly recording the whole process with her cellphone.
But the look in the girl’s eyes was very complicated. The man whom she hated, seemed not to be that hateful in her mind, at this moment.
“That’s why Sister Muqing likes him. In fact, this guy does not disappoint, according to my careful observation, but I can’t forgive him. Sister Muqing is my elder brother’s, and no one can tear them apart.”
Zhao Chenxi thought silently.
She had studied journalism and media, majoring in social journalism. Unintentionally, she heard that there was a huge underground gluten workshop in the eastern suburbs, and she wanted to drive there to see if she could find any clues.
But she never expected that she would be involved in a traffic accident before reaching her destination. She was the last one in the rear-end collision. When she saw a young man directing the crowd in order to save lives, she instantly recorded everything that happened, out of her professional habit, with her cellphone, but she never expected that the young man who was doing this, was the person she hated most.
You know, in her impression, Ding Ning was not only a gigolo, but also a scum, who loved two girls, at the same time.
But what she saw now had subverted her impression of Ding Ning, which gave her mixed feelings. “It seems that he is not like what I thought.” Then, she became a little curious.
“Patter!”
A drop of sweat, the size of a soybean, fell to the ground. Ding Ning’s clothes were soaked with sweat, but that did not affect what his hands were doing at all. A number of silver needles had been inserted into the driver’s abdominal cavity and head. Compared with the injuries in these two areas, his legs suffered only the lightest injury. This proved that he had been seriously injured.
“Hoo!”
Ding Ning exhaled deeply and stood up. Feeling dizzy, he staggered and nearly fell.
This was the first time he had treated a patient with such a serious condition, so he had to use his True Qi to increase the success rate. As a result, he had almost used up all his True Qi.
“Be careful!”
As a crisp voice rang out, Ding Ning felt a warm and soft body supporting him.
“Thank you!”
Ding Ning turned around and thanked Zhao Chenxi, who had come to his aid, beyond his expectation. Then, his eyes brightened, and he praised her inwardly. “What a beautiful girl!”
He swore that he just wanted to appreciate her beauty, much like one appreciating an artwork, so he took one more look at her, but did not have any other thoughts.
But he never thought that when Zhao Chenxi saw his look, her recent, slightly changed impression of him, vanished. “As expected, he is a libertine, and I kindly but wrongly thought he is a good man.” Hatred came and disappeared in her eyes. Her face devoid of any expression, she released her hands and also shook them, as if she had just touched something filthy.
Ding Ning thought that this woman was a little baffling, but he did not care about it. She was only a stranger he came across on the road. She stopped him from falling, and he expressed his thanks politely. That was all. When they went their different ways in a few moments, they would not encounter each other anymore.
He liked beautiful women, but he was not a man who fell in love with every person that he met, let alone now that he had so many lovers. This was a headache for him, and he had no intention of seducing other women.
Instantly, he turned around and busied himself, putting away his silver needles. Although the driver had not fully recovered, his injuries had been stabilized. Now his condition was not life threatening, and the rest of the work should be left to the hospital.
As for the driver’s comminuted fracture, he was not going to treat it. The culprit who was drunk and killed others while driving, should also get some punishment. Keeping him alive was already the most merciful act that he could show.
“Humph!”
Seeing that Ding Ning was not interested in her, Zhao Chenxi was quite unhappy. “What does that attitude mean? You have no wish to look at me? Am I so ugly?”
Everyone has to agree that a woman’s mind is as mysterious as a needle at the bottom of the sea. Young ladies of 17 or 18 are a typical example, and their thoughts are even harder to predict. This lady thought that Ding Ning was lewd and she hated him very much, but when Ding Ning ignored her, she felt rebuffed.
“I’ve never imagined that this young man has such excellent medical skills. The guy was like a dead man just now, but now his breathing has steadied.”
“Right, I even thought this guy was sure to die, but I never expected his face to turn ruddy in such a short while.”
“Young man, you are a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, right? Can you give me your phone number? My father has knee osteoarthritis. When I’m free someday, I will ask you to treat him.”
“Right, my mother has rheumatoid arthritis. We’ve visited many hospitals, but they can’t heal her. Can you treat her condition?”
“Hey, brother, you are from a traditional Chinese medicine family, right? You are so young, yet you have such excellent medical skills! I admire you, and this is my business card. If there is a chance, we can have a chat and become acquainted”
...
The people stood around him like a group of servants worshipping their lord. Ding Ning’s footsteps were a little unsteady, and he replied perfunctorily. He then walked rapidly to the middle-aged woman whose leg had been pierced through by the legs of a faulty seat.
Her injury was not fatal, but the treatment should not be delayed for too long; otherwise, if she lost too much blood, that would be a great problem. He had to stabilize her until the ambulance came and took her to the hospital.
“Help...help me, it hurts!”
The middle-aged woman, whose right thigh had been pierced through by the leg of an iron seat, was in so much pain that her face was contorted in agony. Tearfully, she looked at Ding Ning and entreated him.
Ding Ning squatted to examine her injury and said softly, “Big Sister, you are lucky because your bones are not injured. The hospital will perform an operation in a while, then you should rest for some time and you will be fine.”
“Hurts, it hurts.”
The middle-aged woman looked pale, and gritting her teeth, moaned in pain.
“Let me help you stop the bleeding and relieve the pain first.”
Ding Ning helped to relieve the pain with his Meridian Severing Hand, and also helped to stop the bleeding by blocking her broken blood vessels. After that, he went to examine the other wounded people.
The middle-aged woman’s pain eased instantly. She was shocked and shouted, “God, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Young man, you are so brilliant!”
“Big Sister, it really does not hurt anymore? Are you fooling us?”
Someone asked doubtfully. “He just pressed you a few times, and you don’t feel the pain anymore. It’s too fantastic.”
If it were not for the horrifying iron rod that had pierced through the middle-aged woman’s leg, they would have thought the two of them were putting on an act.
“Nonsense, why would I be telling lies? It’s not you who is hurting.”
The middle-aged woman was a little shrewish. Finding that he even doubted Ding Ning’s medical skills, she immediately became resentful and shouted.
“Which hospital does this young man come from? God, he is so amazing! I’ll look him later when I’m ill.”
“Right, such a godly medical skill, which is even better than an anesthetic. I must ask him for his phone number.”
“Why does he look a little familiar? I seem to have met this young man somewhere.”
“Huh, when you discover that his medical skills are good, you try to approach him and build ties with him. Stop it.”
“It’s true. I do feel he is a little familiar, but I can’t remember where I met him before, no matter hard I tried, but I’m sure I know him.”
“Well, well, well, I also find that Mi Country’s president looks familiar. I know him, but he doesn’t know me!”
