Chapter 345: You Won’t Kill Her. Do It Properly!

The next day, Ruan Qi told Tang Beibei happily that she had lost two pounds.
However, most people were lighter in the morning and heavier at night, so effectiveness of the acupressure treatment still depended on Ruan Qi’s weight at night.
Ruan Qi weighed herself again that night and found that she had lost more than two pounds.
Tang Beibei was happy. She was more confident when she went to the hospital with Professor Chen to see Madam Wu again.
When they arrived at her ward, they saw a nurse crying beside Madam Wu’s bed. Tang Beibei was puzzled but did not dare to make a sound.
Professor Chen frowned and asked her what was wrong. The nurse sobbed, “I was giving Madam Wu an injection, but she moved and I missed the vein.
Madam Wu scolded me and threw a vase at me. The Chief Medical Director asked me to apologize to her.”
The more the nurse spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Her cry was pitiful.
Tang Beibei looked at Madam Wu in confusion.
She thought Madam Wu was quite easy-going.
She didn’t expect her to have such a bad temper.
When Madam Wu saw Professor Chen, she quickly said, “Nurse, you hurt me, yet you are making excuses. There’s nothing for you to do here. Please leave.” The nurse cried and wanted to leave, but Professor Chen stopped her.
“You still have the cheek to cry after you hurt your patient? Don’t you know how precious Madam Wu is?”
The nurse cried even louder when she heard this, and Madam Wu became more adamant.
“This nurse really cannot make it. She missed the vein and poked me in the wrong place. She even complained that I have small veins. She’s not serious about her work. I’ve told her many times that I’m afraid of pain. But she cried and cried when I scolded her until I also feel upset.”
Professor Chen chuckled and said to the nurse, “Your patient is not dead so of course she would feel pain when you insert a needle into her body. Why did you still give her an injection when she’s afraid of pain?”
“You stupid cow, you should have given her liquid oral medication. Give her an entire bottle, the kind that can poison people to death. You can inject her when she’s dead because she won’t feel pain anymore. Then, you won’t be scolded.”
The nurse was so shocked that she forgot to cry.
Madam Wu looked embarrassed. She looked at Professor Chen and said in a fawning manner, “Professor Chen, you really know how to joke.” -What joke am I telling? She’s a nurse, and she’s not taking money from you. Why should she treat you like an empress dowager?
“If you want to be an empress dowager, why stay at a hospital? Go home and enjoy yourself.”
“The hospital treats patients, and she was treating you. It’s normal for injections to hurt a little. You have a bad temper. Aren’t you afraid that you will draw the King of Hell’s attention and he’ll take you in earlier?”
Professor Chen really didn’t mince his words when he scolded people.
But he was telling the truth. He was trying to reason with Madam Wu for her own good.
The patient had been lying in bed for a long time and was in a bad mood. It was understandable for her to lose her temper, but the nurse was also innocent. She shouldn’t have vented her anger on her.
When Madam Wu heard that the King of Hell wanted to take her in, she was so scared that her face turned pale.
“Um, Nurse Zhang, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you just now. It’s my mistake but I’m really afraid of pain. Please don’t hold it against me.”
Hearing Madam Wu’s apology, the nurse stopped crying and went back to work.
This little interlude was finally over.
Professor Chen asked Madam Wu what medicine she was taking and checked her physical condition before letting Tang Beibei treat her.
He wanted to confirm if Madam Wu was suitable for acupressure treatment.
When Tang Beibei pressed Madam Wu’s acupoints previously, she did well but after learning that Madam Wu was afraid of pain, she was a little hesitant. Professor Chen’s expression turned cold when he saw that Tang Beibei wasn’t using any strength.
“You won’t kill her. Do it properly!”
For the sake of losing weight, Madam Wu also said with a smile, “Beibei, don’t be afraid. Use more strength, I can endure it.”
just now because of an injection, Madam Wu was in so much pain that she threw a vase at the nurse.
If Tang Beibei pressed down hard, it would be more painful than a needle prick.
Tang Beibei licked her lips and pressed down hard.
“Ouch, ouch.”
Madam Wu cried out in pain, her face pale, but she still smiled and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Beibei, carry on!”
The other doctors watched from the side with doubtful expressions on their faces.
This Madam Wu was a VIP, and her body was indeed precious. They had always been careful when treating her and gave in to her wishes.
But now, she was urging a young TCM practitioner to use more strength after she was being pressed so hard that her forehead was covered in cold sweat?
Did she have a masochistic disposition or something?
Tang Beibei reduced her strength when she touched the top of Madam Wu’s head with her fingers.
There were many acupoints on the top of one’s head, including Sishencong, Baihui, Tongtian, Muchuang, Wuchu, Shangxing, Binghui, Chengguang, Houding, and so on. When she pressed Madam Wu’s Baihui acupoint, she screamed in pain.
“Pain, pain, pain…”
Tang Beibei was slightly nervous. She was really worried that Madam Wu would throw the vase on the table at her.
“Madam Wu, is your bowel movement bad?”
Madam Wu blushed. “Yes, yes. I hardly go even every few days. I’m a little constipated.”
Tang Beibei said, “Then bear with this. Pressing this acupoint can help with elderly constipation. If you’re in pain, it means that something needs to be unblocked.”
Madam Wu gritted her teeth. “Then please hurry up and press harder. I’m fine. I can take it. I’m not in pain!”
Even her voice was trembling.
Professor Chen instructed Tang Beibei from the side, reminding her of the time and pressure to apply for each acupoint. Seeing that she could remember all the acupoints he had plotted, he nodded in satisfaction.
When Tang Beibei pressed down on the Yongquan acupoint at the bottom of Madam Wu’s feet, she screamed in pain again, and the other doctors covered
their ears.
“Beibei, pain, pain, pain…”
She was about to cry.
Tang Beibei comforted her gently, “Bear with it. This acupoint is very important. Press it more often and it can cure insomnia and high blood pressure. You haven’t had it pressed before and that’s why you are in so much pain. You’ll enjoy it after a few times.”
When Madam Wu heard that it could cure her insomnia, she quickly said, “Okay! Press away!”
After completing the full set of techniques, Tang Beibei began briefing the nursing aide who was taking care of Madam Wu about the food that she could eat every day.
There wasn’t much food to avoid for this treatment. The instructions were like the other doctors except the emphasis on drinking more hot water.
“…” Madam Wu’s expression was a little doubtful when she heard that she should drink more hot water.
Dr. Teng from internal medicine was puzzled. “Professor Chen, are you done with the treatment?”
“It’s over.”
“The patient can lose weight just like that?”
“Don’t ask me. Ask my student.”
Tang Beibei hung her head and played dead.
Madam Wu’s physical condition was unique. Things that worked for normal people might take longer to work on her.
The other doctors frowned and looked at Tang Beibei doubtfully.
They felt that she was just putting on an act and delaying the patient’s treatment. If Madam Wu did not lose weight and her condition got worse, could this young girl bear the responsibility?
Professor Chen asked Tang Beibei when they left together, “Do you know why I didn’t give her medicine to treat her heart disease right away?”
Tang Beibei thought hard and hesitated.
“Speak when I tell you to. What kind of bad habit is this?” Professor Chen didn’t like her timidity.
Tang Beibei quickly explained, “Madam Wu’s heart disease can be treated with medicine but if we don’t treat her chronic diseases and improve her foundation, she’ll relapse again.”
“Her blood circulation is not good, and it’s easy for new diseases to appear. You asked me to assist in the treatment because you would like to first treat her chronic disease, improve her vitality and give her confidence. This would increase the success rate of her surgery and reduce the chances of relapse.” Professor Chen smiled in satisfaction. “Traditional Chinese medicine has a different philosophy from Western medicine. We take a long-term view when it comes to disease prevention and treatment.”
“I’ll remember that.”
Professor Chen nodded, happy that Tang Beibei was a good disciple. He then asked, “The dance I asked you to perform, how are the preparations?”
Tang Beibei gulped. “I, I haven’t started yet.”
