He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

"It hurts... Daddy, my knee hurts..." Sisi sobbed, pointing to her swollen knee.

"Daddy saw it, sweetie, don't cry. Daddy will rub it for you, and it won't hurt so much if you rub it."

Chen Hao spoke in the gentlest tone, extending his finger and carefully avoiding the center of the swelling, gently massaging the area around it in a clockwise direction with his fingertip.

He moved very gently, rubbing her while observing Sisi's reaction, afraid of hurting her.

His intention was simply to use the most basic comforting and physical methods to help relieve pain and promote local blood circulation.

However, just as his fingers touched the skin around his daughter's knees and began to massage rhythmically, an unexpected system notification sounded in his mind:

[Ding! First-time emergency treatment and comforting therapy for your daughter's external injury has triggered a hidden condition.]

[Gained new skill: Medicine (Beginner Level).]

Immediately afterwards, a stream of basic medical knowledge, though not massive, but clearly structured, flowed into Chen Hao's mind.

This includes the most basic human anatomy (with a focus on the musculoskeletal system), the pathophysiology of common injuries (contusions, sprains, abrasions, etc.), and the principles of initial treatment.

Basic concepts of aseptic technique, simple classification and functions of commonly used drugs...

This knowledge seems to have been instantly imprinted in my memory, at a level roughly equivalent to that of an undergraduate medical student who has completed basic courses and clinical clerkships.

Chen Hao paused slightly, somewhat taken aback.

This... counts?

He was just rubbing his daughter's bruised knees!

This was also judged by the system as "treatment," and I even gained the "medical skill" as a result?

After the initial shock came a pleasant surprise.

Having an extra skill, especially a skill as practical and potentially valuable as medicine, is definitely a good thing!

This means that in the future, if Sisi or someone around her has a headache, fever, or minor bumps or bruises,

He is at least able to make more professional and effective initial judgments and decisions than the average person, instead of just being anxious or acting blindly.

With the integration of basic medical knowledge, the massage he used to perform, which was originally based on common sense and gentleness, immediately became "professional".

He subconsciously adjusted the position and pressure of his fingers, no longer aimlessly circling around the redness and swelling.

Instead, they consciously and gently pressed several key acupoints and muscle attachment points around the knee with their fingertips, using a technique that incorporated slight massage.

The aim is to better relax the surrounding tense muscles and fascia, promote the dissipation of blood stasis, and relieve pain.

[Ding! Using basic anatomical knowledge and massage techniques to relieve local swelling and pain, Medical Experience +15.]

[Ding! Soothing your daughter's emotions, alleviating her fear, and assisting in treatment; Medical Skill Experience +12.]

With his professional comforting words and gentle massage, Sisi's crying gradually subsided, turning into soft sobs.

She leaned against her father's chest, feeling the just-right pressure and warmth on her knees, and the sharp pain seemed to be slowly lessening.

"Does it still hurt, baby?"

As Chen Hao continued what he was doing, he lowered his head and asked softly.

Sisi raised her big, teary eyes, looked at her father, then at her knees, and whispered:

"It still hurts a little bit... but it's much better than before... Daddy's massage feels so good."

[Ding! The patient (daughter)'s pain has significantly decreased, the initial treatment is effective, and medical experience +18.]

With a firm resolve, Chen Hao continued to focus on the treatment at hand.

Based on his knowledge, he judged that it was just a simple soft tissue contusion and that the bone was not damaged (even basic medical skills can make a simple preliminary identification).

The treatment principle is to apply cold compresses and immobilize the body for rest in the early stages, and apply hot compresses and physical therapy in the later stages to promote recovery.

His current massage is a gentle form of physical therapy.

As he continued to operate the system professionally, system prompts kept ringing out.

[Ding! Continued local massage therapy has improved your skills; Medical Experience +22.]

[Ding! Precise control of force prevented secondary injury. Medical skill experience +18.]

Just two or three minutes after he had been massaging, a prompt sounded in his mind again:

[Ding! Medical skill experience points have exceeded 100.]

[Skill Level Upgrade: Medical Skill (Beginner) → Medical Skill (Proficient)]

Another wave of deeper and more practical medical knowledge is pouring in!

This time, the knowledge covers more common diagnostic points (although still preliminary) and the management of more complex injuries (such as the theoretical knowledge of simple debridement and suturing).

Dosage and contraindications of commonly used drugs, basic monitoring of vital signs and their significance.

It even includes some simple first aid measures (such as the Heimlich maneuver and key points of cardiopulmonary resuscitation).

This level is equivalent to that of a resident physician who has completed clinical rotations for a period of time and is able to handle some common problems independently!

Chen Hao was secretly delighted, and his movements became more precise and skillful.

He can not only more effectively relieve local symptoms, but also judge whether the treatment is appropriate and whether the injury is within the expected range by observing Sisi's reaction and subtle changes in the knee.

A few minutes later, Sisi had completely stopped crying, and the pained expression on her face had disappeared, leaving only a slight flush from exercise and traces of her crying.

She watched with curiosity as her father focused on massaging her knees, feeling as if his hands had magic.

"Sisi, how are you feeling now? Does it still hurt?"

Chen Hao stopped what he was doing and carefully examined his daughter's knee.

The redness and swelling have subsided significantly, and the skin temperature is now close to normal.

Sisi tried moving her left leg, gently pressed her knee, then shook her head and smiled.

"It doesn't hurt anymore! Daddy is amazing! Rubbing it made the pain go away!"

[Ding! Initial treatment and rehabilitation therapy for a soft tissue contusion have been successfully completed. The patient's pain has disappeared, and function has basically recovered. Medical experience +48.]

Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

He gently lowered Sisi's trouser leg, lifted her to sit on the sofa, and then asked:

"Tell Daddy, how did you fall? Were you running too fast?"

Sisi lowered her head shyly, fiddling with the hem of her clothes.

"I...I wanted to get that colored paper to fold a new paper crane for Dad...I didn't see the little stool on the ground and tripped over it..."

Chen Hao followed her gaze and saw a small children's plastic stool overturned on the ground not far away, with several pieces of colored origami scattered around it.

He felt both warmth and lingering fear, and patted his daughter's head:

"Be more careful next time, watch where you're going, especially where there are things. If you need something, you can ask Dad for help, okay?"

"Okay, Daddy." Sisi nodded obediently.
