At the children’s department of the Citizen’s Hospital.

A couple was extremely anxious, “Doctor, what should we do now?”

The main doctor shook his head, “There’s nothing you can do. I suggest that you go to Shanghai or Beijing Children’s Hospital. We can’t treat this disease here.”

The couple looked extremely helpless. Their child was five years old. He had been feeling weak every day since a month ago. He slept for almost twenty hours every day and he still felt weak when he woke up. He didn’t have the liveliness of a child. As his parents, they didn’t notice it for the first few days as they thought that their child might have been too exhausted from playing. However, they realized that there was something wrong.

Then, they quickly brought him to the hospital but the doctor said that it was a rare occurrence. There weren’t many cases of this around the world. He had undergone treatment for a few days in Jiangning Citizen’s Hospital but there wasn’t any improvement. Now, they could only proceed to another hospital.

“What shall we do?” The child’s father was anxious. It couldn’t continue like this.

“Let’s go to a big hospital. We can go to Shanghai Children’s Hospital right now,” the mother said.

The child’s father nodded, “That’s the best we can do.”

…

Outside the hospital.

Nobody approached Lin Fan and the others. There were quite a number of ambulances that drove to the hospital. However, they only looked at them. The people that entered the hospital didn’t even notice their existence.

The people definitely trusted the hospital more.

Lin Fan and Zhao Ming Qing just sat there. Although there weren’t any patients, they weren’t anxious at all. However, Qiu Jie and Zhang Tong Tong were extremely puzzled. There wasn’t a single soul even though half the day had already passed.

Then, Lin Fan said, “Wait for a moment.”

A couple walked out of the hospital carrying a child. They looked extremely disappointed. Then, Lin Fan called out to them and asked, “Your child is suffering from something. Why not come here and let us have a look?”

The child’s mother had nowhere to go and she regarded Lin Fan as a last resort. However, the child’s dad was a little more cautious.

Lin Fan smiled, “You don’t have to be anxious. We’re from the Chinese Medical Association and we came from Beijing to do some voluntary medical work.”

The couple looked at each other, then at Lin Fan. Then, they looked at Zhao Ming Qing. As Zhao Ming Qing looked rather old, they felt that he was reliable and they slowly let down their guard.

“The doctors in the hospital weren’t able to treat him. They said that this child’s illness is extremely rare and asked us to go to Beijing or Shanghai for treatment,” the child’s mother said.

Lin Fan nodded and didn’t say anything. Then, he looked at the child who was being carried by his dad. “Ming Qing, take a look at him.”

Zhao Ming Qing nodded. He used his hand to measure the child’s pulse and opened the child’s mouth to check his tongue.

“The pulse is stable. However, it beats intensely. His tongue is rather dark. There isn’t anything wrong with his body. It isn’t a good thing for the pulse to be stable but intense. As for treatment, I will first use acupuncture to test his reaction. If there isn’t any reaction, we will use Chinese medicine to treat him.”

Qiu Jie said, “Director, could he be suffering from hypersomnia?”

Zhao Ming Qing shook his head, “It’s not hypersomnia. Hypersomnia doesn’t have symptoms like this. It is easy to recognize it. Furthermore, the Citizen’s Hospital isn’t a normal hospital. They should’ve been able to check that.”

“Huh?” Then, the child’s parents looked at Zhao Ming Qing in disbelief. “When we first brought our child to the hospital here, the doctor thought that it was hypersomnia. After he did all the checks, he realized that it wasn’t hypersomnia. How did you know after just one look?”

Zhang Tong Tong said proudly, “This is the director of our academy. His medical skills are top notch. He knows the symptoms just by measuring his pulse.”

Then, people started to gather around. They saw that someone approached this voluntary medical work setup and were curious about what was happening.

Zhao Ming Qing wasn’t bothered by what was happening around them. Then, he asked Lin Fan, “Teacher, if it was hypersomnia, I could treat it with medicine. However, I can’t figure out what is happening. Can you have a look?”

“Okay.” Lin Fan nodded and stretched out his arms, “Pass me the child.”

The couple was stunned. Then, they looked at Zhao Ming Qing. They didn’t know what this young man was doing.

Zhao Ming Qing said, “This is my mentor. His medical skills are a thousand times better than mine. Just let him have a look and he might really treat your child.”

The couple was in disbelief. It was as if they had heard it wrongly. This young man here was the mentor of this elderly man? This… This…

The surrounding crowd started to discuss among themselves in disbelief.

They felt that this was something special.

It was their first time seeing a young man be the mentor of an elderly man.

Lin Fan carried the child and pressed some parts of the child’s body. “These few acupuncture points are the most important ones to the body’s circulation. It can improve blood circulation greatly. Pass an acupuncture needle to me.”

Zhao Ming Qing immediately handed him an acupuncture needle. Qiu Jie and Zhang Tong Tong looked at him attentively so that they wouldn’t miss anything.

Qiu Jie immediately recorded down those acupuncture points that Lin Fan had mentioned. As Chinese medical doctors, they had to memorize all the acupuncture points of the human body. There were a lot of them. If they didn’t memorize all of them, they might not be able to treat an illness.

Lin Fan raised his head, “Don’t be anxious. Inserting an acupuncture needle into an acupoint isn’t dangerous. Your child will be healthy soon.”

A passer-by interrupted, “Bro, are you kidding? They didn’t manage to receive treatment at a big hospital and you say you can treat him?”

Lin Fan smiled and didn’t reply. Then, he placed an acupuncture needle into the fenglong acupoint. Suddenly, the child’s eyelids twitched.

“Look, his eyelids just twitched. This acupoint can stimulate him. Pass me another needle,” Lin Fan said. Then, he looked at the couple. “I will be placing another needle on his head. Don’t be anxious or afraid. There won’t be anything wrong. Don’t make any sudden movements or else I might insert it wrongly and he would be in danger.”

The parents were stunned, “He won’t be in danger, right?”

Lin Fan smiled, “Don’t move and he’ll be fine. Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong. We aren’t here to harm people at the entrance of the hospital. Anyway, you can have a look at our certifications.”

The child’s parents lowered their heads and looked at the certifications.

Lin Fan quickly placed a needle into the baihui acupoint, the needle was 1.5inch long.

When the child’s parents looked up, the needle had already been inserted.

Lin Fan gently swirled the needle and pulled it out. He did it extremely quickly and people didn’t even manage to see it clearly. Then, he held onto the child’s feet and pressed onto them forcefully with his thumb.

Suddenly, the child started to cry.

Lin Fan placed the child on the ground. The child cried and went towards the couple.

The crowd was stunned when they saw this.

This…this…
