章 12: Verifying the Prescription
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
"I am doing it for Mother, Father. You can show my prescription to a qualified doctor if you don't believe me, and decide if you want to use it after listening to what the doctor says," urged Jing Yunzhao.
Ye Qin found Jing Yunzhao and adopted her when she was a baby, and Jing Yunzhao was only trying to save Ye Qin to return the favor. Her debt would be paid if she could save Ye Qin's life, and she would not have to hesitate to do things if Ye Qin continued to treat her like she used to.
But Qiao Weimin turned his nose up at Jing Yunzhao's prescription. He was certain that Jing Yunzhao's prescription was an unreliable one. In fact, he would not be bothered even if the prescription really could save Ye Qin's life.
Ye Qin had already been ill for some time and it had cost them more than twenty thousand just to treat her. Who was going to pay for the medical bills if Ye Qin continued to live and needed treatment?
He married Ye Qin only so she could carry on the family line and take care of the household chores. He hadn't expected a chronic invalid who only dragged him down.
"That's enough! Stop talking nonsense and get out now!" Qiao Weimin didn't care that Ms. Kim was still around and started shouting at Jing Yunzhao.
A ward was a place that should be quiet, so when Qiao Weimin shouted, everyone around couldn't help but stare.
Knowing that there was no point in remaining there, Jing Yunzhao took a deep breath and left the ward.
"You are so young, Jing Yunzhao, what kind of prescription did you manage to get? Were you lying just now?" Ms. Kim asked doubtfully.
"Why don't we look for a doctor together? I am sure the doctor can tell if I was lying about my prescription," said Jing Yunzhao and started to drag Ms. Kim towards the traditional Chinese medicine department in the hospital before she could protest.
Knowing that Ye Qin's attending doctor was a western doctor and might not acknowledge her prescription, Jing Yunzhao chose to show her prescription to the most experienced Chinese medicine practitioner in the hospital.
He was a well-known Chinese medicine practitioner in his sixties or seventies, and Jing Yunzhao had seen him once when she followed Ye Qin to the hospital for treatment.
Ye Qin was desperate when she first found out about her illness and had seen this Chinese physician that time. He gave Ye Qin a few prescriptions, and advised her that her illness required treatment and a long period of recuperation to recover, and that she shouldn't expect a full recovery in the near future. Afraid of dying young, Ye Qin lost faith in traditional Chinese medicine after a few days and started seeing western doctors thereafter.
Ye Qin had returned to the traditional Chinese medicine department after finding out that the western doctors were unable to cure her entirely, but it was already too late and the Chinese physician was unable to help although willing.
"You looked familiar, little girl," the Chinese physician said thoughtfully as he looked at Jing Yunzhao.
"My name is Jing Yunzhao, Physician Gan, daughter of Ye Qin. She was one of your patients," Jing Yunzhao explained while taking out a piece of paper from her pocket, "my mother's condition is critical now and I found this prescription. I was wondering if you could have a look at it and tell us if it could be helpful."
Physician Gan looked at Jing Yunzhao curiously. There had always been strange things happening in the hospital every year, but this year was really extraordinary.
There were many people who came to him to seek treatment, but Jing Yunzhao was the first who came to him to show him a prescription.
Physician Gan thought about the little girl before him. She was the girl who took care of her mother when she was admitted to the hospital, and her filiality left a deep impression on the doctors in the hospital.
Physician Gan reached out and took the prescription with his wrinkled hands, carefully unfolding the piece of paper.
"Where did you get this, little girl?" Physician Gan asked, his expression turning serious as he read the prescription.
"My master taught me this before he left to travel the world. With all I know, I can only ease my mother's condition instead of curing it though," Jing Yunzhao made up a story and explained nervously.
This was the first time that she applied what she learned from her ancestor in real life, and she was curious to find out if she did it right.
"But I can cure her now! I can assure you that she will get better if she takes the medicine according to this prescription for seven days in a row, and take my medicine after that," said Physician Gan, eyes lighting up in excitement.
How stupid was he to not think of this prescription earlier!
Ms. Kim who had been standing aside and listening to the two of them was completely stunned at the outcome.
"Come, let's go see your mother," said Physician Gan.
章 13: Giving Up on the Treatment
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three of them rushed to Ye Qin's ward and saw Qiao Weimin talking to the doctor.
"We only spent so much money because you said there was a chance for my wife to recover, Dr. Wang, what do you have to say now that my wife is dying?"
"I said there was a chance, Mr. Qiao, it really depends on the condition of the patient and none of us expected Mrs. Qiao's condition to deteriorate so quickly," the doctor quickly explained.
"I don't care. We still have your medicines at home and they are all imported, I want a refund since she can't take them anymore," Qiao Weimin demanded, even though he knew it was unlikely that the hospital would give him back his money.
The imported medicines had easily cost a few thousand and he had stockpiled quite a number of them at home. He could at least get some of his money back if the hospital was willing to take them back.
"Very well, you can give me the unopened ones and I will get a refund for you," said Dr. Wang resignedly.
Physician Gan shook his head and approached them. "Mr. Qiao? I took a look at your daughter's prescription and confirmed that it can help your wife. Would you like to collect the medicine now?" Physician Gan asked carefully.
"What are you saying?" Qiao Weimin frowned in confusion.
Jing Yunzhao was an orphan who hardly left the house; it would be a joke if she had a prescription that could help Ye Qin.
"What I am saying is that we can save your wife's life if she takes the medicine according to this prescription," Physician Gan explained patiently.
Qiao Weimin knitted his brows and went silent for a while, then asked, "is this Jing Yunzhao's prescription?"
"Yes," said Physician Gan.
"I don't agree to use the prescription if that is the case," said Qiao Weimin coldly, "you doctors were just saying that there was nothing you could do to save my wife, and now you are telling me that a prescription that my daughter provided can save her? Are you saying that I should have just let my daughter treat my wife in the first place? Also, my daughter is just a young girl. Who will take responsibility if the prescription worsens my wife's condition? You?"
"The patient's condition can't get any worse, so there is no harm in trying." Not expecting the patient's family to be so difficult, Physician Gan tried his best to convince him. It had always been the patients begging him for prescriptions, and this was the first time when he had to beg for the patient to get treated.
"Try? Why bother? My wife's suffering is finally coming to an end after so long, why can't you just let her die in peace? Also, aren't you my wife's attending doctor, Dr. Wang? Who is this old man and what does he want now?" Qiao Weimin asked crossly.
Dr. Wang was a young doctor who studied overseas and had a promising future, but he was unhappy with Physician Gan because it might damage his reputation if the older doctor saved a patient he had declared beyond cure.
"With all due respect, Physician Gan, isn't what you are doing now quite inappropriate? Also, the patient's family has refused to use the prescription. I don't think it is good if we keep insisting on it," said Dr. Wang smilingly.
Physician Gan clenched his fists, holding in his rage at Qiao Weimin.
He couldn't believe that he, Gan Songbo, a well-respected physician in the hospital was being cast aside like an old glove after he informed them about a prescription he confirmed to be helpful.
Moreover, it was not difficult for someone of his age to tell what kind of person Qiao Weimin is. Did Qiao Weimin really have no faith in the prescription? No! Qiao Weimin was making a fuss about the prescription simply because he didn't want to save the patient.
Physician Gan was willing to save the patient, but what could he do when the patient's family refused his help?
"There is nothing I can do if your father refuses to use the prescription, little girl. You have to accept it," Physician Gan sighed and said to Jing Yunzhao, then stepped out of the ward.
"I understand. Thank you, Physician Gan," Jing Yunzhao nodded and said softly.
She had tried her best to help, and there was nothing she could do if the other side refused to accept her help. She had paid her debt, and the Qiao Family was the one who owed her from now on.
