The hospital was already crowded, and with Xu Fu's shouting, many people were quickly drawn over, even security guards rushed to the scene.
"Dr. Xu, what happened?" a security guard asked.
"Quickly arrest this brat. How dare he privately needle a patient? Someone will die!" Xu Fu shouted.
The security guards indeed saw Li Se needling a child, and their eyebrows immediately shot up as they rushed over.
"You stop right there!" Qiao Weiwei blocked the way.
"Beautiful lady, someone will die!" a security guard said with a frown.
"It's your hospital that refused to treat Xiao Guang, and now you're stopping others from treating him?" Qiao Weiwei retorted.
"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Fu cursed angrily, "Of course I will treat him, but you find some nobody to do acupuncture? This is irresponsible to the patient!"
"Yes, how can such a young person do acupuncture? It's too irresponsible."
"Desperate measures?"
"This is a hospital, leave it to the hospital doctors. Doing it yourself, isn't that messing around? And it's traditional Chinese medicine, how foolish!"
"..."
Many people around began to chatter. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
With so many people speaking for him, Xu Fu immediately became arrogant. He said, "It's bad enough to randomly needle a patient, but you even dared to hit me. You are really bold. Quickly kick these people out!"
The security guards started to drive people away.
However, Li Se's needling speed was quite fast. For him, food poisoning was not a serious illness. After all, he could even treat difficult diseases like uremia and cancer, let alone just food poisoning. After a round of acupuncture, Xiao Guang had already recovered.
"I... I don't feel sick anymore," Xiao Guang said in surprise.
"It's all good... Xiao Guang is fine," Sister Lan said excitedly.
"See? Who dares to question his medical skills now?" Qiao Weiwei said triumphantly, not forgetting to mock Xu Fu. "Unlike some doctors in this hospital who refuse to treat patients unless they stay in VIP wards. They've already paid, and such doctors have no medical ethics!"
Many people also knew that Dr. Xu had poor medical ethics. Now that the situation had reversed, people immediately started pointing fingers at Xu Fu.
"This Dr. Xu seems to really lack medical ethics. A friend of mine came to the hospital and encountered him. He refused to treat her unless she paid for a VIP ward, and she had already given him a lot of red envelopes!"
"Alas, it's all like this with doctors in big hospitals nowadays, morality is declining."
"To get treatment at the hospital, not only do you have to pay medical fees, but you also have to give red envelopes, otherwise it's no good."
"..."
With the shift in people's opinions and the child's improving condition, Xu Fu's expression became unpredictable. He seemed to have thought of something and firmly stated, "Nonsense, I was treating this child. How could your silver needles fix it? Who can judge this? Clearly, my previous treatment had an effect, and after he stuck a few needles, the food poisoning is cured? Have you ever heard of treating diseases with needles?"
As soon as he said this, many people wavered. In this era, traditional Chinese medicine was declining, and most people preferred Western medicine. Thus, for all illnesses, big or small, they sought Western medical treatment. As for traditional Chinese medicine, they didn't trust it much. So, when Xu Fu said this, they felt it made some sense, as treating diseases with needles still seemed a bit mystical.
Moreover, they hadn't seen Li Se do anything; he just stuck a few needles. To say that the food poisoning was cured because of this was a bit exaggerated.
Seeing that many people believed him, Xu Fu said smugly, "I treated him. You just stuck a few needles and you're stealing my credit. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you!"
"Shouldn't I be saying that to you?" Li Se frowned. This Xu Fu was truly shameless. He wouldn't admit the patient without a VIP ward, and now that he had cured Xiao Guang, this guy actually came to steal the credit. Truly, a shameless person is invincible.
"Not only do you lack medical ethics, but you've also lost your face. You refused treatment without a VIP ward. When did you ever treat him?" Qiao Weiwei questioned.
Xu Fu coldly snorted, "This patient came a long time ago. I saw he was in great discomfort, so even without a VIP ward, shouldn't I provide simple treatment? And it wasn't that I demanded you to get a VIP ward; it's just that the regular ward was full. Food poisoning can be serious or minor, so what's wrong with hospitalization? If not for my treatment, he would have suffered to death!"
"You're just spouting nonsense!" Sister Lan couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "I begged you for a long time, but you refused to treat him. Now that he's been treated by someone else, you're coming back to steal the credit. You are a doctor with no character and no morals. You don't deserve to be a doctor."
"Are people really going to believe that just a few needles can fix everything?" Xu Fu appeared to be without fear. He was convinced that he had treated the child, as not many people were willing to believe in traditional Chinese medicine now.
"Stop making trouble. If it weren't for Dr. Xu, your child would still be suffering. Hurry up and complete the hospitalization procedures, and observe for a period of time!" a security guard said.
"People nowadays really have no conscience. Even without hospitalization, Dr. Xu kindly treated him, but now they are blaming Dr. Xu for lacking character and morals. The funniest part is that this young man is stealing credit. Is credit stolen like that? Just by randomly sticking a few silver needles?"
"Exactly. He could even do that. To steal credit, he made the child suffer like this. Truly resorting to any means to achieve his goal!"
"..."
Several other security guards chimed in one after another.
The surrounding people were somewhat moved. Compared to Li Se's ability to save people with acupuncture, they were more willing to believe the doctors from these big hospitals, as they were the authorities in this field.
Xu Fu was smug. Now all the credit belonged to him, and the key was that he hadn't done anything. This credit was truly easily snatched.
"Dr. Xu, Dr. Xu, my son also has an upset stomach, please treat him quickly!"
Just then, a woman carrying a child ran in.
Xu Fu immediately reverted to his true nature. He said, "I am an authority in this field. See that child? I treated him casually, and he's already better. Don't worry, complete the hospitalization procedures first..."
"But the child is really uncomfortable," the woman said worriedly.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll arrange for a gastric lavage soon," Xu Fu said with a smile.
"If you trust me, I can help treat him," Li Se said at this moment. He did not argue with Xu Fu. Medical skills were meant for treating illnesses, and arguing with such a person was meaningless. Strength was the hard truth.
The woman hesitated.
"Trust him, he has already cured someone here," Qiao Weiwei said.
"What do you mean he cured him? I cured him!" Xu Fu snorted.
Li Se mocked, "Then, may I ask Dr. Xu, you need a gastric lavage to treat food poisoning. You didn't perform a gastric lavage on Xiao Guang, so how did you treat him? Since you can treat it without a gastric lavage, then please treat this child as well."
Everyone present felt that what he said made sense.
"Yes, Dr. Xu, hurry up and treat him!"
"Show us your skills, we are still willing to believe you!"
"..."
Xu Fu's face gradually turned ugly.
