638 Nightmare (1/2)
After taking a small bowl of decoction, the man soon felt better, especially in his head. The numbness and pins and needles had significantly been reduced. The discomfort in his eyes and the terrible feeling that his eyeballs were about to pop out had also diminished.
The decoction was very effective, and the effect was long standing.
”Come here, let me take a look at your wound,” Wang Yao said.
He applied some decoction on the man's wound with a cotton bud. The decoction was a diluted connection ointment. He has used the ointment on a number of patients, which worked really well.
”OK, you should be fine now,” Wang Yao said.
”How much should I pay you?” the man asked.
”$11,000,” Wang Yao said.
Without whining, the man paid the fee.
”Take the decoction back and drink one small cup three times day. The toxins will be completely expelled from your body after you finish drinking this.” Wang Yao gave the rest of the detox powder to the man.
”Thank you!” The man stood up and bowed to Wang Yao.
”You have this aggression on you. It's not so good,” Wang Yao kindly said.
He presumed the man's role was similar to Hao's. His hands were perhaps even dirtier than Hao's. Wang Yao could feel it. A calming mind led to a healthy body. Some diseases were caused by personality or temper.
”Let me know if you need me to do anything for you. I'm just a phone call away.” The man left a piece of paper with his number on it.
Wang Yao didn't say anything. The man left quietly.
At the connection of point of Nanshan and Dongshan hills, Wang Yao planted two lines of trees. They were the same type of trees he planted elsewhere on Nanshan Hill to form an open fence.
The next morning, he found seven cars parking outside his clinic.
”Hmm? How come there are so many people waiting?” Wang Yao wondered.
He didn't know some of them had already been to the clinic the previous afternoon.
”See? I told you to come here. We won't be able to see the doctor until lunch time.” A woman was scolding her son.
”How was I supposed to know there would be so many patients today?” a young man said in low voice. ”The past few times I was here there were never this many people.”
”Let's just wait here!” One of the patients was Feng, who was in good mood.
”I'll take a walk first. It's nice here.” He opened the car door and got out. The movement of his affected leg had apparently improved. The movement was no longer in circles, although he was still limping.
”Hello, are you here to see Dr. Wang?” A man in his 30s greeted Feng with a smile.
”Yes,” Feng said.
”What happened to you?” the man in his 30s asked
”I had a stroke.” Feng pointed to his head.
”He can treat stroke patients?” the man in his 30s asked with amazement.
”Yes. I couldn't speak or walk at the beginning. I also had facial paralysis. Look at me now, I'm much better,” Feng said happily.
”I see. I thought he could only treat people suffering from headaches and leg pain,” the man in his 30s said.
”Who's first?” Wang Yao asked.
All his patients automatically formed a queue.
The first patient was a woman in her 40s. Wang Yao could tell what her problem was by observing the way she walked. The woman had a problem in her neck.
”Hello, Dr. Wang, I've been having pain in my neck. I can barely move it,” the woman said.
”I see. Let me take a look,” Wang Yao said.
He thoroughly check the woman and found the muscles in her neck were really stiff. The skin on her neck was cold, even though it was warm weather.
”What do you do for a living?” Wang Yao asked.
”I work at a clothes factory,” the woman said.
”Your condition is closely related to your work because you have to maintain the same posture for long periods of time at work. It has caused a blockage in your blood circulation,” Wang Yao said.
This was considered vocational illness.
”Sit here, I'll give you a massage,” Wang Yao said.
The treatment was not complicated.
”Ouch!” the woman shouted as Wang Yao was massaging her neck.
”Painful?” Wang Yao asked.
”It's a little bit sore,” the woman said.
”Bear with me, it won't take long,” Wang Yao said.
With his massage, her neck muscles gradually softened, and the skin was no longer that cold. Wang Yao had made her blood circulation normal again.
”You need to move around and avoid maintaining the same posture at work,” Wang Yao said.
It was important to keep mobile. Movements could improve one's blood circulation. Sitting, lying down, or standing for too long were not good. One shouldn't maintain the same posture for too long.
”I see,” the woman said.
Although she promised to be aware of her posture, her wage was based on her productivity. If she rested too often, her productivity would be affected. That would affect her wage.
”Fortunately, your cervical spine hasn't been affected, but it will become a problem if you continue to stay in the same posture for too long,” Wang Yao said.
