“Why?” Lin Wanqiu next to him asked with confusion.
“He’s been poisoned,” Li Se’s expression was also quite solemn. “And this poison is very rare, he has at most half an hour to live!”
From here, Li Se couldn't tell what poison the man had contracted, but he was sure that he was basically on the verge of death.
“Doctor, is there a doctor? Please save my husband, is there a doctor to save my husband.” A well-preserved noblewoman in her forties next to him cried out.
No one responded.
“I am a doctor,” Li Se walked over.
Many people’s attention shifted to Li Se. Seeing how young he was, they all shook their heads and sighed. Even if Li Se was a doctor, his medical skills were probably not very advanced.
Seeing how young Li Se was, the noblewoman naturally didn’t hold out much hope, but at this moment, she had no other options and could only place her hopes on Li Se. She said, “If you can cure my husband, I will give you a generous consultation fee!”
“Saving lives is a doctor’s duty,” Li Se squatted down and began to take the man’s pulse. After a while, his brow furrowed tightly.
He had contracted the extremely rare Mandragora poison!
The source of Mandragora poison was naturally the Mandragora flower. The roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of the entire Mandragora flower were poisonous, and the seeds were the most toxic. People poisoned by this toxin would generally die within twenty minutes. The man in front of him had clearly been poisoned by it.
“Young doctor, can my husband be cured?” the noblewoman asked anxiously.
Before Li Se could answer this question, the ambulance had already arrived. Someone had called for an ambulance, and the person who got out of the vehicle was none other than Wang Xiang.
He was slightly surprised when he saw Li Se, but his expression quickly turned grim. He walked over directly and sneered, “Non-essential personnel, move aside quickly, don’t hinder us from rescuing the patient!”
The “non-essential personnel” he mentioned clearly referred to Li Se.
With the doctors here, the noblewoman naturally shifted her attention back to them. As for Li Se, she was simply desperate and grasping at straws.
Wang Xiang examined the man and said, “He seems to have been poisoned. We need to take him to the hospital immediately.”
“No!” Li Se blocked him.
Wang Xiang was displeased, “I’m the doctor, or are you?”
Although Li Se had won against those Western doctors in the confrontation between Chinese and Western medicine and had even applied to become a Royal Physician, becoming a Royal Physician was not that easy.
Moreover, he had always disliked this Li Se.
“The patient’s poison is very severe, he can’t last more than ten minutes. If he’s sent to the hospital now, he’ll die on the way,” Li Se didn’t want to bother with Wang Xiang’s personal grudges, the patient was the most important thing now.
Hearing Li Se’s words, the noblewoman’s face turned pale. He couldn’t live for another ten minutes?
Wang Xiang shouted, “You dare to question my judgment when you don’t even have a medical license?”
“That’s right, the doctor has already made his diagnosis, so we should rush him to the hospital now. How can you question a doctor’s words?”
“The patient is already poisoned, and any further delay will be very detrimental to his health.”
“This young man is too impulsive. Regardless of his medical skills, if he delays the patient’s optimal treatment time, he will be held responsible.”
“I bet he’ll just walk away if the patient has an accident later.”
“…”
Many people around were pointing fingers at Li Se. In their opinion, Li Se was purely delaying the rescue.
Although they were not doctors, they could see at a glance that the patient was in critical condition, and the priority was to rush him to the hospital for treatment.
Li Se ignored the surrounding discussions and stared at Wang Xiang, saying, “Director Wang, you should know my medical skills better than anyone present. If this person dies on the way, you will be responsible.”
Wang Xiang’s expression was somewhat uncertain. Although he was very displeased with Li Se, he also knew the young man’s medical skills. Since even Li Se said so, if the man really died halfway, it would have some impact on him.
“Are you saying we shouldn’t take the patient to the hospital?” Wang Xiang said coldly.
Li Se said solemnly, “He can’t make it to the hospital anymore. I can cure him here!”
Wang Xiang knew that Li Se was probably right. He rolled his eyes and immediately pointed at Li Se, scolding him, “You little brat, it’s because you delayed the best treatment time. If you don’t cure this patient now, you’ll have to take full responsibility!”
The noblewoman next to him turned pale when she heard this, “Doctor, are you saying my husband missed the best treatment?”
Wang Xiang sighed and nodded, “He delayed us by a few minutes. Don’t underestimate these few minutes, they are often fatal for patients. Originally, we just needed to get him into the ambulance and administer some emergency treatment, and then he would be rescued at the hospital, which would have been absolutely fine. But this guy here delayed everyone’s time, and more importantly, the patient’s precious life. Sigh, didn’t he say he has a way to cure him? Then let him do it. If he can’t cure him, he’ll be responsible!”
The noblewoman was already frantic. She didn’t think about the flaws in Wang Xiang’s words at all. She pointed at Li Se and yelled fiercely, “If anything happens to my husband, I’ll have you pay with your life!”
Li Se knew Wang Xiang’s intentions. Saving the patient was the priority, and he had no time to argue with Wang Xiang. This kind of person was not fit to be a doctor, and everything was about his own interests.
Then, five silver needles appeared in his hand, and he accurately inserted them into the man’s head. He gently flicked the tail of the silver needles, and they began to vibrate without stopping.
“These needles are inserted into people, Chinese medicine?”
“My heavens, this young man is using Chinese medicine.”
“This is going to kill him. How can Chinese medicine cure diseases?”
Many people saw Li Se using Chinese medicine and began to believe that the man was doomed because, in their perception, Chinese medicine was basically incapable of curing diseases nowadays.
Besides, people always said “old Chinese doctors.” How could a young person be proficient in Chinese medicine?
If it were an old man, they might find it credible, but how old was Li Se? At most in his early twenties, how could he know Chinese medicine?
The noblewoman’s expression turned sharp when she saw this, “Ah, why is he using needles? You’re a Chinese medicine practitioner? Can Chinese medicine cure diseases? If anything happens to my husband, you will die, I will make you pay the price…”
The noblewoman roared from the side.
Li Se became impatient and shouted, “If you don’t want your husband to die, then be quiet!”
