I'm just a veterinarian! You've unlocked the Great Physician System!

Chapter 396 Tilapia pricked you, and you're saying you need amputation? Are you kidding me?! [Requesting monthly votes]

"???"

The environment here is so intense that it's bound to cause any medical student's blood pressure to spike and their head to explode.

Acupuncture for osteosarcoma, and they even did acupuncture on the tumor itself!

Tilapia pricked his hand, and it swelled up. Instead of going to the hospital, he came directly to get some kind of traditional Chinese medicine poultice followed by acupuncture. What's even more outrageous is that he had the mind to watch beautiful women swaying their waists while scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).

I really don't know where they got this mentality from.

The King of Hell?

"Big sister! It seems your nephew has a problem with physical therapists like us who come from humble backgrounds!"

Just then, the physiotherapist Jiang Cuie spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone.

The cheerful smile from before was long gone.

"These students these days don't know anything. In our time, we relied on doctors like you, physical therapists, to treat illnesses. They were just as good as you. No matter how much you study, you can't compare to a doctor who practices medicine."

Just then, an old man in the crowd spoke up.

His eyes were full of disdain for students.

"That's right! Real TCM practitioners don't go to universities! They all learn by apprenticeship!"

In an instant, many people offered their compliments.

"..."

Looking at the current scene.

Zhang Lingchuan was speechless.

It's clear they've accurately targeted their customer base.

But thinking about it, if they didn't have this understanding, how could they have come here?

"That's not to say he looks down on us. Physiotherapy therapist, don't be angry. He may not fully understand the underlying principles, but overall, Xiao Chuan from our family is still very capable."

The eldest sister-in-law, Gao Hui, explained.

"Indeed, I've heard he's often in the news! I've even seen him on my phone, his name is Zhang the Veterinarian!"

Uncle Nine is a bit thin.

A hand, swollen like a pig's trotter and covered in silver needles, was sitting with its legs crossed, scrolling through videos of beautiful women on its phone with one hand.

He is relatively young, only in his early forties.

So men, let alone those in their early forties, even those in their early eighties, still enjoy watching videos of beautiful women.

If one day you really don't feel like painting anymore, then the day you're put on the wall isn't far off.

"A veterinarian? A veterinarian! Ma'am, didn't you mean traditional Chinese medicine?"

The physiotherapist breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhang Lingchuan was a veterinarian. It's normal for a veterinarian not to know about acupuncture!
She almost thought that this person, who came from a prestigious academy, looked down on her!

Putting everything else aside, I've been doing acupuncture for several years now.

At least Jiang Cuie felt that the average student was really no match for her.

After all, most medical students just sit in front of a book and study; what do they really know?
That is, I didn't have the motivation to study at the time, so I couldn't get into high school or go to university.

Otherwise, he would be an expert or professor by now!
"That's right. Although my son studied veterinary medicine, he taught himself traditional Chinese medicine while in college."

Xu Xiaoying explained.

"A veterinarian who taught himself traditional Chinese medicine? No wonder he was blind to talent."

When the physiotherapist heard that Zhang Lingchuan was also self-taught, the pretense on his face completely disappeared, and he said directly and bluntly.

If you were a graduate of a university specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, she might be a little wary of you.

But now everyone is self-taught, so who is more noble than whom?
You come here claiming osteosarcoma can be treated with acupuncture? You think she'll give you any face if you try to cause trouble?!
"What do you mean, 'blind to the truth'! How can you talk like that! Although my son is self-taught, he is now pursuing a doctorate at several universities and has been admitted to a doctoral program at a reputable medical university, including the Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a top-tier institution of traditional Chinese medicine in China!"

She could have tolerated the other party's previous attitude, after all, there were so many patients there who came to see the other party, and her sister-in-law had only come over out of kindness to ask her to treat her for free.

Yes.

My sister-in-law said it was free.

Because every time the other party comes over, they can give the sister-in-law either acupuncture or massage or other physical therapy.

But today my sister-in-law said she wouldn't do it and would give the opportunity to her.

So even though the therapist's words were a bit off, she tolerated it.

But now she directly berates her son for being blind to talent.

How can she tolerate this?!
You can insult Xu Xiaoying without any consequences, but if you insult her son, you deserve to be criticized!
"Oh dear... calm down, calm down. Physiotherapy therapist, you were being a bit harsh. You know how capable Xiao Chuan is. Although he's self-taught, his medical skills are undeniable. He's even been accepted into five universities as a doctor!"

Although I have a good relationship with the physical therapist.

The other person even called her "elder sister".

But Gao Hui really felt that her nephew's medical skills were incredibly impressive.

Just asking about being accepted into several universities for doctoral programs at the same time—that's not something an average person can do.

"So what if I have a PhD? Sister, being good at studying doesn't necessarily mean you're good at skills. I just didn't do well in school back then. If I were educated now, I could get a PhD from some TCM university and plenty of people would hire me! Don't you believe me!"

It's unclear whether the physiotherapist Jiang Cuie was trying to save face or what.

He said something that left Zhang Lingchuan completely bewildered.

"Haha, if I had studied harder back then, I probably wouldn't be a high-ranking official now!"

Because all of this happened in just over a minute, before he could even speak, Uncle Jiu, who was scrolling through videos of beautiful women, chuckled and said something.

"Hahaha~"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

"That being said, life doesn't offer so many 'what ifs,' but the physical therapist's skills are truly impressive, aren't they? Is your hand hurting right now?!"

The old man with osteosarcoma asked Zhang Lingchuan's ninth uncle, Zhang Zhengshu, with a smile.

In their rural Lingnan area, the older generation all have literacy.

For example, people of Lao Zhang's generation are named with the character "正" in their names.

So the eldest brother's wife's husband was named Zhang Zhengtian, the second uncle was named Zhang Zhengshan... the fourth brother's father, Zhang Lingchuan, was named Zhang Zhenghai, and the ninth uncle was named Zhang Zhengshu, and so on.

Zhang Lingchuan and his generation belong to the "Ling" generation.

Therefore, you can see quite a few Zhang Ling Xs in the village.

If you see two people in another place with the same surname and middle character, simply put, the first two characters are the same and the last two characters are different. Unless it is a very rare coincidence, most of the time it is because the characters are passed down from the family genealogy. In other words, they are either from the same place or have the same family genealogy.

"It still hurts a bit after the injection, and it seems to be a little swollen."

Uncle Nine, Zhang Zhengshu, answered the physiotherapist.

"Brother, it's impossible to say it won't hurt at all. After all, it's a needle going in, so it's bound to hurt. There will also be some swelling, which is normal. After the acupuncture, go back and apply some of the medicine I prescribed. It should be almost healed in about a week."

The physical therapist said.

"It's definitely healed."

Zhang Lingchuan said quietly.

"Oh! I'm relieved to hear you say that, Xiao Chuan! I'll just wait a week from now!"

Zhang Zhengshu felt instantly pleased upon hearing Zhang Lingchuan's words.

"Fine! I'll have to come back in a week!"

Zhang Lingchuan gave a direct and concise answer.

"Why? Didn't you say you were only coming back for a week? Hahaha, so you were just fooling your uncle, weren't you!"

Zhang Zhengshu paused for a moment, then laughed and asked.

"After all, Uncle Jiu died young... I definitely have to come back to fulfill my filial duty!"

"Acupuncture and herbal medicine are more than enough to treat this fish poison...???"

Zhang Lingchuan and the physiotherapist spoke at the same time.

When the physiotherapist heard that Zhang Lingchuan was on his side, he immediately stopped being so sarcastic and nodded knowingly, indicating that his medication and acupuncture could basically cure the swelling in his hands.

The result was completely unexpected.

Zhang Lingchuan's next words stunned her, leaving her rooted to the spot, her brows furrowed, and her face a huge question mark.

quiet!
The entire living room of my sister-in-law's house fell silent!

Because no one expected Zhang Lingchuan to say something so chilling.

After all, the phrase "filial piety" basically means Zhang Zhengshu will die!

"Hahaha—you little rascal, what are you joking with me? I'm in such good health, I can live for at least another forty years! Come back in forty years and put a white cloth on your Ninth Uncle!"

Zhang Zhengshu laughed heartily.

The uncle and nephew have a harmonious relationship.

He wasn't terminally ill, so he could take such jokes.

“Since Uncle Jiu wants to live for another forty years, I’ll call 120 for you now. It’s not too late. If you go there, the worst that can happen is amputation. If I go a week later, I’ll really have to rush back from out of town. By then, it should be close to the funeral. Or I can just wait at home for a few days.”

Zhang Lingchuan shrugged.

The old man with osteoma... if he's willing to go to the hospital for a checkup later, then he can go; if not, then forget it.

Uncle Jiu was a relative of the family and had a natural sense of trust in him, so it would be easier for him to go to the hospital, especially since it was an acute illness.

System scan complete.

Patient Name: Zhang Zhengshu.

[Patient's gender: Male.]

[Patient's age: 45 years old.]

[Patient symptoms: Red papules, swelling of the injured hand, and hemorrhagic bullae may appear.]

[Patient Diagnosis: Vibrio vulnificus infection.]

[System notification: The patient is currently infected with Vibrio vulnificus, a marine killer. Early symptoms are mainly local skin tingling and numbness. As time progresses, the symptoms rapidly worsen, and further develop into fever, chills, significantly increased skin swelling, and even typical hemorrhagic bullous lesions. Ultimately, septicemia, septic shock, and multiple organ failure occur, leading to a deterioration of the condition and death despite resuscitation efforts.]

This infection is a highly acute and severe illness; its progression can be measured in hours. Every hour, the swelling in the patient's limbs will show significant improvement. Immediate medical attention is crucial! The current host has activated an active assistance quest. Completing the quest guarantees at least 500 professional reputation points and a high probability of obtaining a common treasure chest.

The old man scanned it.

Uncle Nine also had his scanned.

When he heard the other person say that their middle finger had turned black and the joint near the palm was swollen after being pricked by a fishbone, with bloody blisters, he suspected it was a Vibrio vulnificus infection.

As an emergency room doctor, he knew this guy was extremely vicious.

Once infected, it has a rapid onset and the disease progresses quickly.

The mortality rate of patients infected with Vibrio vulnificus can reach over 50% within 48 hours.

If no effective treatment is received within 72 hours, the mortality rate can approach 100%!

Based on the current situation, it's highly likely that Uncle Nine was infected yesterday evening. Even if you processed the fish at 6 PM yesterday, and it's been 12 hours since 6 AM this morning, it's now a little past 1 PM, which adds up to 18 or 19 hours.

It is still within 48 hours.

The probability of one out of two dying is high.

However, with timely treatment, amputation should allow him to survive.

But if you go back to check on them after today or tomorrow, things might be different, because the degree of deterioration is measured in hours.

As for going back seven days later as the physiotherapist suggested, that would indeed be close to the day of the funeral.

It can only be said that quack doctors are harmful.

Bah! This guy probably isn't even a doctor!
After all, who with a medical background would dare to perform acupuncture to remove the so-called fish poison after someone has been stung by a fish?

There's even acupuncture for osteomas, and freaking, acupuncture directly on the tumor! This amazing therapist is truly something else!

Let alone a licensed TCM practitioner, even a medical student from a TCM college should not do such a heaven-defying thing!

"?"

"??"

"???"

The words shocked everyone.

The group, who had just felt a chill in their hearts, saw Zhang Lingchuan take out his phone.

"Hello! Is this Qingxian People's Hospital? Yes, this is Dagou Village, Xiagou Township. We need an ambulance. There is a patient with swelling and bloody blisters on his hand after being stung by a tilapia. We suspect a Vibrio vulnificus infection."

He even made a phone call.

I don't know if it's an emergency call.

It sounds like a call to the hospital!
"Xiaochuan! You really called?! You must be kidding me!"

Zhang Zhengshu, who was scrolling through his phone watching beautiful women sway their hips, suddenly grabbed the phone in his uninjured hand and stared wide-eyed at his nephew Zhang Lingchuan, wondering if the other was joking.

He accidentally pricked his hand with a fish fin while processing tilapia around 5 or 6 pm yesterday.

I was thinking I wouldn't even bother applying the medicine and would just let it go.

Who would have thought it would swell up this morning?

I was originally planning to go to the hospital, but a physiotherapist came to the village this morning and came to take a look.

After examining his hand and listening to his description, the other person said that he had been poisoned by fish and didn't need to go to the hospital at all; acupuncture combined with her self-developed Chinese medicine would definitely work.

Having never experienced these things before, Zhang Zhengshu treated the other person.

When my nephew came over, he looked at his hand in great fear. The therapist said that acupuncture and topical medication would help in a week, and my nephew immediately said that he would come back from out of town in a week to put a white cloth on it.

He thought the other person was joking with him, and cheerfully said that with his physical condition, he could easily live to eighty-five, and at least forty more years.

Then my nephew said that if you want to live forty years, you should call 120 now and get a limb amputated so you can live!
Zhang Zhengshu felt like his mind was a little stuck.

He even wondered if his nephew was lying to him!

But I feel like it's impossible!

He knew what kind of person his nephew was.

So Zhang Zhengshu is now very confused and bewildered, wondering if this is a joke.

"It must be a joke, Xiao Chuan. Don't scare your Ninth Uncle; he's easily frightened."

Zhang Lingchuan's aunt was also stunned for a moment, then she spoke with a smile.

"Exactly! How could someone call 120 just because they got pricked by a fish? That's just impossible!"

Everyone chuckled and nodded.

"Big sister, look at what happened today! She made a really convincing phone call, I couldn't tell if she was joking or serious, she was acting crazy, you'd think she had a mental breakdown!"

The physical therapist's expression changed, of course.

At the same time, she also exudes a resentful air.

He also adopted a sarcastic and mocking attitude!

After all, the other party's actions were a complete disrespect to her, disrupting her harvest.

Her fees are 100 to 200 yuan per acupuncture session and 50 to 100 yuan for medicine. There are more than a dozen people seeking her treatment now, and the total cost for each session is definitely over 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.

You're telling her patient she's going to die and that you'll call 120 for her—isn't that a classic case of cutting off someone's livelihood?
What's the difference between this and killing one's parents?

“My son was able to escape, but some people are probably going to end up in jail. After all, she can say she can cure someone whose life is in danger, and she’s doing all sorts of incompetent treatments. She’s really heartless for money and doesn’t even care if someone pulls the covers off at night if something happens.”

So you think you're the only one who can be sarcastic and sarcastic?

She, Xu Xiaoying, can do it too!

However, if what his son says is true, the physical therapist will probably go to jail.

"Who are you calling a quack! Ask your son if he, who treats animals, even knows anything about acupuncture! Sister! Let me make this clear: I'm not treating your sister-in-law today. If you want it done, great; if not, I'll give you acupuncture or massage next time! As for her, if she's so capable, she should go get her son to treat her!!"

The physical therapist was so angry her hair stood on end.

However, I didn't dare to make a move, since we were in someone else's village.

She's a woman all alone, and the man's son is right there. If he dared to undermine her like that back in her hometown, she'd make sure he never left the village!
“I think I should indeed examine you. I’m just a doctor who doesn’t know much. I don’t know acupuncture, but it’s not something that can cure every disease, much less as miraculous as you make it out to be. Your treatment method will cause problems sooner or later. However, I don’t want to risk my loved one’s life to send you to jail. I’ll do you a favor and save you this time.”

Zhang Lingchuan retorted coldly.

"This young man has a sharp tongue!"

"Look at that! As expected of a scholar, he can curse without using a single swear word!"

"Isn't this basically calling physical therapists animals?"

"Why are you getting less and less sharp-minded as you get older? The physical therapist said that this guy who treats animals is talking nonsense, and this young man said that he should indeed treat you. Isn't that implying that the physical therapist is an animal? So you can insult people without using any swear words!"

"Besides that, they also criticized the physical therapist for being uneducated and incompetent, yet audacious enough to impersonate a doctor to swindle people, saying he'll end up in jail sooner or later!"

……

The comprehension abilities of grandpas, grandmas, aunts, and uncles are also quite impressive.

They immediately started talking all at once and became translators.

"you!!"

The therapist's face visibly turned a liverish color; he was so angry his eyes looked like he had hyperthyroidism.

"This……"

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The eldest sister-in-law, Gao Hui, never expected things to develop to this point.

"No way! Xiaochuan! You really called 120?! You're not kidding!!"

Originally, Uncle Jiu was relieved that his sister-in-law and the others thought Xiao Chuan was joking, but now his words of insult without using any vulgarity made his heart jump into his throat again.

What's the meaning!
I'm really going to die!!
Zhang Zhengshu was no longer in the mood to listen to the noise at the scene.

Instead, it was a very excited inquiry!

My mind went completely blank!
"Uncle Jiu, why would I joke with you for no reason? Of course I'm really calling 120."

Zhang Lingchuan nodded and said with great certainty.

Do I look like I'm acting?

He's not a drama school student who loves acting that much.

"No! You really called 120? Do you know that making a false 120 call is illegal!"

While Uncle Nine was still in shock, the physiotherapist stared wide-eyed at Zhang Lingchuan.

She thought the other person was just bluffing, pretending to be serious, but who would have thought they would actually call 120?

They have absolutely no legal awareness!

Don't they know this is a false police report?!
"Stop talking nonsense! Xiao Chuan! I, I just got pricked by a fish! What you just said is true!" Uncle Jiu roared angrily as soon as the therapist finished speaking.

Amputation!!

He can't accept it!
It's fake, isn't it?!

"Uncle Jiu, everything I just said is true."

Zhang Lingchuan gave a concise and to-the-point answer.

He no longer needed to ask which sentence it was, because everything he had just said was true, without a trace of falsehood.

"Child! Don't scare your uncle! You really want to have your leg amputated? Your uncle is only forty-five years old! How will he live if he has his leg amputated!"

Zhang Zhengshu no longer has any interest in the quirky, hip-swaying beauties on Douyin.

Some are filled with despair for their left hand!
"Uncle Jiu, you should call Ling Zhou over. The ambulance should be here soon."

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head helplessly.

If I had gone earlier, it might have been just a finger; now, I'd probably have to amputate a large part of it.

"That kid's off at the internet cafe in town! Your little sister Yanling is home!"

Zhang Zhengshu was on the verge of a breakdown.

Not long after, Zhang Yanling rushed over in a flurry of activity!
"Dad! Didn't you go to the hospital first thing this morning? Why are you still at Auntie's house? And your hand is so swollen!!"

Zhang Yanling is one year younger than Zhang Lingchuan.

My dad got pricked by a fish last night, and his hand was swollen this morning. He went to the hospital right after breakfast, around 8 a.m.

When I received a call from my dad saying to come to my aunt's house right away, he said I needed to go to the hospital with him in a car soon.

Her house wasn't at the entrance of the village, but rather at the very back of the village.

Startled, Zhang Yanling immediately jumped out of bed.

They rushed straight to the village entrance.

Then I saw my father's hand covered in silver needles, his whole hand swollen like a pig's trotter.

"Beep beep-"

The sound of an ambulance could be heard in the distance.

“I was originally going to go, but this physiotherapist said he could treat it, and then when Brother Lingchuan came over and saw it, he immediately called 120 for me.”

Zhang Zhengshu's expression was as if he had drunk ten pounds of bitter melon juice; it was incredibly bitter.

"It really can cure it, bro! Don't listen to his nonsense! He didn't even graduate from a proper TCM college; how credible can his self-taught claims be?"

Physiotherapist Jiang Cuie is still arguing her case.

Zhang Lingchuan has really gone mad.

He actually called an ambulance!
"Come on, you think you can cure anything? I've never heard of acupuncture for tumors in my life. If you want to live a little longer, you can come with the ambulance. If you feel fine, you can stay here and get acupuncture for her."

Zhang Lingchuan wasn't saying this to anyone else, but to Mr. Hu Zhigang, an osteosarcoma patient who was receiving acupuncture.

"Young man, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. I really respect the therapist's skills. Look, my leg feels much better after I had acupuncture done by the therapist!"

Hu Zhigang was somewhat dismissive of Zhang Lingchuan's words.

"Exactly! This guy doesn't even know acupuncture, yet he immediately called 120. Even a proper TCM doctor knows the four diagnostic methods: observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. I'm starting to wonder if it's because I've treated everyone too well that some people are jealous of me or you and are causing trouble!"

"After all, you can't judge a book by its cover! Besides, the person who treated me knows best whether he cured me or not!"

After hearing what Grandpa Hu Zhigang said, Jiang Cuie was instantly filled with confidence.

They even tried to sow discord between Gao Hui and others.

"Alright, alright, if you can cure it, then do whatever you want, grandpa."

If you can't persuade them, what can you do? You can't just carry them to the hospital by force. Anyway, you've done what you should have done and reminded them, so you've completed the system's proactive help task.

If you really don't listen, then you'll be prepared to sacrifice yourself as a weight that puts you in jail as a physical therapist.

Uncle Nine is in critical condition right now, so dealing with his situation is the most important thing.

"Physician, I need to take my dad to the hospital now. Please remove these hedgehog-like needles immediately!"

Zhang Yanling looked at the physical therapist with cold eyes.

The older generation may not be aware of the rumors surrounding their cousin.

But she keeps an eye on it!

"Fine, let's get it done! But let me tell you, girl, the hospital is a very dangerous place. I can guarantee your dad will see results in about a week with acupuncture and my medicine!!!"

When Zhang Yanling told the physiotherapist to remove the acupuncture needles, his face instantly darkened, and he muttered words of persuasion.

"It's more like meeting the King of Hell; it'll have an effect!"

Zhang Lingchuan responded calmly.

"You! Good, good, good!!!"

Physiotherapist Jiang Cuie clenched her fists, seething with hatred!

"The ambulance is here, Uncle Jiu, hurry up and get out."

Zhang Lingchuan greeted Uncle Jiu.

Comrade Xu Xiaoying naturally followed behind.

"Who! Who is suspected of being infected with Vibrio vulnificus!"

A doctor and a nurse in white coats rushed over.

"Hey! Mr. Zhang!!"

One of them is Li Yingying.

The other person's eyes widened when they saw Zhang Lingchuan.

"Teacher Zhang."

The other one was also a female doctor, in her thirties, named Wei Zixiang.

He greeted Zhang Lingchuan warmly.

"Dr. Wei, Yingying, the person suspected of being infected is my ninth uncle. You need to take him to the hospital immediately; this matter cannot be delayed!"

Zhang Lingchuan greeted them.

"Alright, alright! Uncle Jiu! Hurry up and get in the car with us!"

If it is indeed an infection with Vibrio vulnificus, then every hour brings a change, and the risk to life increases.

"Wait! Wait! Xiao Chuan... am I really going to have my leg amputated? Can you take my pulse? I don't believe it!!"

Zhang Zhengshu looked at Zhang Lingchuan with a mournful face.

"Uncle Jiu, the doctor will take your pulse at the hospital. Sister, remember to keep an eye on Uncle Jiu."

Zhang Lingchuan did not offer much explanation.

The hospital will provide an explanation.

"Huh? Oh!!"

Zhang Yanling looked bewildered.

The ambulance doors were closed, and it sped towards the county town!

"Dad—, what did Lingchuan mean by amputation?"

Zhang Yanling had no idea what had happened.

My head was buzzing.

Hearing about amputation was especially devastating!
"Your brother Lingchuan said I've been infected with some kind of bacteria, and if I don't go to the hospital, my funeral is in a week. If I go to the hospital now and have my leg amputated, I might barely survive. I don't believe it! That fish has such power?!"

"Doctors, do you believe this? Last night my child came home wanting to eat fish, so I cooked a tilapia. He accidentally got scratched by the fin, and now he needs an amputation? This can't be true, right?!"

After speaking to his daughter, Zhang Zhengshu looked at the two doctors, Wei Zixiang and Li Yingying.

"If it were someone else making the diagnosis, there might still be errors, but Dr. Ogawa has never made any errors so far... My condolences, Uncle Jiu..."

Wei Zixiang and Li Yingying exchanged a glance, and then spoke very amicably.

"???"

Zhang Zhengshu's mouth was agape, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Doctor, my dad really has to have his arm amputated! This Vibrio vulnificus is so virulent, is there any way to save his arm?!"

Zhang Yanling was also deeply shocked and felt sorry for her father.

"Young lady, you are Dr. Xiaochuan's cousin. We'll be honest with you, if you get infected with Vibrio vulnificus and don't receive timely treatment, you might not even be able to save your life, let alone your hand. Losing just one hand is already extremely lucky!"

Wei Zixiang said.

Vibrio vulnificus infection is an emergency!

"Yes, the mortality rate is 100% once the infection lasts for more than 72 hours. You can search it up, sister. The information online is a mixed bag, but searching for the consequences of a disease should be quite accurate!"

Li Yingying thought that if the other party didn't believe her, they could check it out online.

"Lingling, how are you?"

When Zhang Zhengshu saw his daughter pick up her phone and search, he immediately asked her what was wrong.

“Dad… 100% mortality rate within 72 hours, one out of two will die within 48 hours, and there is a 50% chance of survival.”

Zhang Yanling looked dazed!

"Fuck..."

Desperate!
Zhang Zhengshu was truly in despair!

"No! Dad! The survival rate is very high within 24 hours, Doctor! It says so here! There are quite a few cases where the hand can be saved!"

As I flipped through the pages...

Zhang Yanling has seen many cases of people surviving, some of whom managed to keep their hands.

"Generally speaking, the chances of saving the hand are higher within 24 hours, and very high within 12 hours, but a doctor's evaluation is still necessary for a specific assessment!"

Wei Zixiang answered.

"That means there's hope! I knew Xiaochuan would always exaggerate things!!"

Zhang Zhengshu, who had just looked ashen-faced, instantly brightened up.

Dagoutun.

"Son, is your ninth uncle really going to have his leg amputated? Are you just trying to scare him? It shouldn't be that serious, just from being pricked by a tilapia!"

Xu Xiaoying certainly never went to her sister-in-law's house.

She doesn't care about any kind of physical therapy.

It's clearly a pyramid scheme to scam people out of money.

"If he had really been infected with Vibrio vulnificus, he wouldn't have been in this situation if he had gone earlier. Now, it's already a blessing if he can just survive. Actually, it's only because Uncle Nine is in good health that he's likely to have survived.

Zhang Lingchuan shrugged.

I shouldn't have gone for acupuncture and wasted so much time.

"Oh my god—isn't this physical therapist harming people? Shouldn't we call the police and have him arrested?!"

Xu Xiaoying exploded.

"Let's see what Uncle Jiu and the others' test results are."

Zhang Lingchuan went upstairs.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a single training card from the system space and +500 professional reputation.]

I just opened a regular treasure chest.

I gained 500 professional reputation points and a single training card from the system space.

[Professional Reputation: LV7: 71220/75000 (Resident Physician)]

The rate at which professional reputation can be increased is quite fast.

I'm just a little over 4,000 short of upgrading to LV8.

【特殊物品：特殊体力药水*21、精准检测*9、系统空间模拟训练一周时长卡*1、系统模拟空间单次训练卡*1、过敏道具卡*1、技能晋升书*2。】

There are two system space cards now.

I need to find some time to go in and train.

For example, his finger replantation surgery this time was obviously much worse, and besides, he hadn't entered the system space for a long time!
of course.

Read some books beforehand.

When asked what he was looking at, he could only say that he bought practice questions for the medical practitioner qualification exam...

I hope my exams go well this year, and I also hope everything goes well for Uncle Jiu.

County People's Hospital.

Zhang Zhengshu and his team quickly entered into an intense inspection.

"Doctor, how is my dad?!"

After seeing the results, Zhang Yanling anxiously inquired about them.

"It's hopeless. Amputation is necessary. The entire palm area is necrotic. If we had come any later, it could have spread and he might have died. Fortunately, we arrived just in time."

The doctor in charge said helplessly after reviewing the test results.

Through the doctor's words and the siblings' various online searches, they were able to obtain the information.

Zhang Yanling herself studied statistics, and after searching for papers, she found that the doctor was absolutely right.

Silence, deathly silence.

"Sigh! Dad, you went out so early in the morning, how could you listen to that physiotherapist? Look at the stupid thing you did!"

Zhang Lingzhou said excitedly.

While surfing the internet at an internet cafe, he suddenly received a call from his older sister, saying that their father was going to have his leg amputated and that he needed to come to the county hospital immediately.

Zhang Zhengzhou, who was just one step away from winning the game, immediately shut down his computer and rushed to the hospital.

After hearing about my father's situation, I was really furious.

If I had come to the hospital earlier, this would not have happened.

“I was going to the hospital, but she stopped me and said it was treatable. If it weren’t for your brother Lingchuan coming and calling 120 for me, I might have really been buried prematurely this time! I thought your brother Lingchuan was joking with me before, but who would have thought that every word he said was true!”

Before the test results came out, Zhang Zhengshu still had a tiny bit of hope.

Now he's completely heartbroken. He really has to have his hand amputated, and the reason for the amputation is all because of that damn tilapia!

If he doesn't come today, he'll most likely be wearing a white sheet when he comes tomorrow or when the situation gets serious!

"Call the police! Dad! I think we have to call the police! Damn it! You have a serious problem! But I think this quack doctor is just harming people!!"

Zhang Yanling even swore when her father was in such a state.

I'm really angry, extremely angry!

The brother and sister quickly dialed 110.

After taking a brief statement, the police opened a case against him for practicing medicine without a license and issued a receipt.

Especially when he heard that there were not only Zhang Zhengshu but also a large number of victims, Uncle Hat took it very seriously and said that he would definitely investigate quickly!
And the county hospital.

Zhang Zhenghai was rushed to the operating room.

"Brother! The doctor said my dad almost died! He just had surgery, and we've called the police! Damn it! My dad's stupid, and this physical therapist is a jerk too! If we'd come this morning, there might have been a chance to save his hand!!"

Zhang Lingzhou sent a message to Zhang Lingchuan.

His tone revealed unprecedented anger, and of course, his own heart was also filled with self-blame.

If we had paid more attention to our father, things might not have turned out so badly.

"Sigh... What's done is done. As for the physical therapists, you can handle it as you see fit. It's already a miracle that Uncle Nine is alive."

Dagou Village.

Zhang Lingchuan quickly replied to his cousin's message.

"Brother, we definitely have to deal with this. That physical therapist isn't going anywhere, is she? These policemen said they're going to arrest her! She's definitely involved in practicing medicine without a license!"

Zhang Lingzhou continued asking questions.

His tone was filled with anger!
The biggest mistake the other party made was misleading his father by saying they could cure him.

In fact, they asked a doctor, who said that acupuncture could not treat this bacterial infection at all; on the contrary, it would delay treatment and even cause a more serious infection!
"She has quite a few patients, all waiting for this miracle doctor to perform acupuncture and moxibustion. It can only be said that this kind of person will get into trouble sooner or later. She really doesn't know any respect when it comes to money."

The aunt next door's house.

The physical therapist is still there.

"Brother Hu, now that you've done acupuncture well, you should continue to needle these tumors to help expel toxins. If the treatment course is long enough, there's a chance the tumor will disappear completely. Traditional Chinese medicine is amazing in this regard. Do you feel much better now? It feels hot and warm, right?"

The physical therapist, Jiang Cuie, removed the acupuncture needles and applied a hot compress of mugwort leaves to the patient.

"Mmm, it really does feel much better! I've always trusted you, Cui'e! I didn't believe a word that kid next door said to me! I just wanted to laugh when I saw him calling the hospital!"

"That's what Grandpa Hu Zhigang is saying."

His face was filled with mockery and disdain for Zhang Lingchuan!

"Let me tell you the truth, Brother Hu and Sister Hu, he's just a veterinarian who treats animals, what does he know? He's just a mentally ill person causing trouble! He doesn't even know the principles of acupuncture, yet he called 120 and said I'd be arrested by the police sooner or later. I think that kid is the one who'll end up in jail sooner or later!!"

The therapist became very excited when Zhang Lingchuan was mentioned.

It felt like there was a lump in his throat!
She's been out in the world for so many years, and this is the first time she's ever been so humiliated. Just thinking about it makes her furious and she wants to rush to his house and give him a piece of her mind!
"Beep beep-"

At that very moment, a police siren suddenly sounded outside.

"Huh? What's that siren? Is Masaki back?"

An elderly man and woman in the room, whose hearing was relatively good, stood up, their eyes filled with doubt.

"It doesn't look like an ambulance, it looks like a police car! My God! It really is a police car coming!!"

An elderly woman, who hadn't received treatment, ran to the door to see what was going on.

From a distance, they could see two police cars turning into their village.

"Look! Speak of the devil and he appears! It's probably that kid next door who made a false police report, disrupting the hospital's order and getting the doctor to call the police to arrest him! I told you, that guy's hand just has simple fish venom. With acupuncture and some of my medicine for hot compresses, he'll definitely be better in a week, but he just wouldn't believe me!"

Physiotherapist Jiang Cuie was also excited!

I never expected this karma to come so quickly!
