chapter 7 Massage

"Acupuncture? Where is the needle?" Amelia smiled. In her opinion, acupuncture was totally nonsense. She saw some news about the silver needle which was cloaked in curing all diseases to insult females by touching their bodies.
"Uhm..." Alexander rubbed his hands, glanced at Amelia with some embarrassment, and whispered, "Your yang (positive) energy is very strong and spreads all over the body. So your head, body, and lower body must be specifically acupuncture. Otherwise, once your back is cured, carbuncles may still appear on the neck and lower body..."
Sure enough!
The corner of Amelia's mouth twitched, but in the end, she couldn't hold it back.
"How shameless!" Amelia glared, slapped the table, and stood up suddenly.
Alexander's face felt hot, and he didn't dare to look anymore. He shook his head, stood up, and was about to leave.
What was Amelia thinking and worried about? I was ready to help her even with the price of going to hell. This woman was so ungrateful!
"Where are you going? Stop right now!" Amelia shouted.
Alexander stopped and suddenly remembered that he was not here to treat Amelia in the office but to be trained. He forced out a smile and said in a rather obedient manner, "Director Leone, do you have any other instructions?"
"Tell me, why did you come to the obstetrics and gynaecology department?" Amelia still classified Alexander Ludwig as the kind of pervert who teased women in the name of a doctor.
Although at noon he did save a mother who had been declared dead by the hospital from her coffin, he did not show any powerful medical skills. He just relied on the principle -- the more wit, the less courage and a little cleverness in observation to do it. If it were her, she could do it, too.
After all, the mother was not dead. She was known as one of the best obstetrics and gynaecology experts in the province, and she would be able to save her life.
Alexander's footprints were all over the country, and he had cured not less than 10,000 but also 9,000 female patients. He knew what Amelia was thinking, so he didn't panic at all and said calmly, "If I were that kind of bad person, they would have already called the police.”
After saying that, Alexander criticized Amelia in his mind. He came to Westlomrio City to avoid those beauties, instead of coming to watch the small gynaecology department in Westlomrio City. That was too useless.
Wasn't this looking down on him? Alexander was very unhappy.
When Amelia heard this, she thought that Alexander had been in the obstetrics and gynaecology department for a month and had taken care of many patients without any trouble. She felt relieved immediately, but she did not completely dispel her suspicion of Alexander. She said coldly, "You'd better not make me get goods on you."
"Director Leone, you'd better stop being so cold all the time. To match your appearance, you should be very lively. I don't know what happened to you, but don't torture yourself. If you have any bad emotions, release them as soon as possible. Finding a boyfriend it's the best way to reconcile yin (negative) and yang (positive) two kinds of energies. Otherwise, evil spirits will accumulate and menstruation problems will occur." Alexander kindly reminded her, and he was not angry about Amelia's doubts. She just cared about the patient.
After all, the patients in the obstetrics and gynaecology department were all women. If a prostitute sneaked in, it would be irresponsible to the patients.
"Nonsense!" Amelia's eyes widened, and she was about to scold Alexander for a few more words to regain the face she had lost when he diagnosed her with a disease. Unexpectedly, the phone rang.
After more than ten seconds, Amelia put down the receiver, frowning and looking solemn.
Alexander stood close and heard the content of the phone call. There was a woman who was going to have a caesarean section. Because this woman had a special identity and was not in good health. She had low platelets, so it was easy to cause heavy bleeding during the operation. The hospital asked Amelia Leone to do it right now. The operation would start after half an hour.
Looking at Amelia's expression, Alexander made a guess. Normally, this kind of surgery would be just a child's play for her. However, she was not in a good state now because the yang energy in her body was too strong and her heart was restless. So she cannot hold the scalpel firmly at all.
If the patient was bleeding heavily, it was very dangerous. There was no room for error in the operation, not even a slight tremor in the hand.
"Are you worried that your trembling hands will affect the operation?" Alexander went straight to the point without any ink.
Hearing this, the solemnity on Amelia's face instantly dissipated, replaced by a look of confusion, "How do you know that my hands are not steady now?"
Amelia couldn't see through the man in front of her. He looked to be only twenty-one or two years old, but except for his slightly immature face, nothing about him matched his age. He looked so calm as if Mount Tai had collapsed in front of him, he would not change his expression.
This feeling made Amelia a little depressed, especially Alexander's deep eyes which seemed to be able to penetrate everything. Amelia found that after he had hit her key problems many times, and then she looked at Alexander's eyes again, she felt slightly panicked.
"I have said that you are not as cold as you show, and you can get flustered just like ordinary people. Today you took a vacation and went to the suburbs. The most famous thing in Joseringfield City is Lotus Pond on the ten miles river, which can relieve your symptoms. You should go there to relax, but it is of no use. Your disease is caused by long-term depression and self-isolation, which causes the evil part of yang energy to be too strong and unable to spread on the skin's surface. Acupuncture must be used to remove the bad part, but you have surgery in half an hour, and you don't have enough time. I'll give you a massage to relax you first, so that some of the yang evils in your body can be purged, and they can be temporarily stabilized. After your surgery, you can contact me to give you acupuncture."
"No need." Amelia's eyes turned cold. She did not accept any traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
"Well, please refuse the surgery," Alexander said expressionlessly.
Amelia gritted her teeth secretly. The dean had just said that she had to perform this operation. Moreover, according to the dean's description, that mother's physical condition was so bad. It meant that she was the only one who could perform this operation.
Push it away, impossible!
Doing nothing when others were in danger! No!
As a doctor, this is unacceptable.
Since Amelia started studying medicine, she had strengthened her belief and would never abandon any patient.
Grabbing the backpack on the chair, Amelia prepared for surgery.
"It turns out that you are also an irresponsible quack. With your current physical condition, you can't be qualified for a childbirth operation that may cause severe bleeding. The process of childbirth can be long or short, ranging from less than half an hour to even a day. During this process, if there is a slight mistake, even if you are lucky and no one dies, it will always cause irreversible harm to the mother or the child. "
Alexander was a little disdainful. This woman was unreasonable. Did she really think that he wanted to touch her?
"You..." Amelia's expression changed.
"Either I can treat it for you, or you can refuse the surgery. Director Leone, you work so hard to study in a famous American medical university and must not just find a job and earn a living." Alexander said excitedly.
force her to stop!
Normally Alexander can be cynical, but when it comes to patients, he will not make even a tiny joke. This is his red line.
"Just make a living." Amelia became anxious and spat, "I don't believe in Chinese medicine, so don't be too aggressive. I will do the best thing according to what happens during the surgery later."
"Sit down!"
Alexander roared, and a flash of silver needle with light flashed in his hand, and it was inserted into Amelia's ankle. Immediately, her legs felt numb from bottom to top, and she couldn't move even if she tried to take a step. Just when she was about to scold Alexander, another silver needle in his hand was pierced into her neck. The effect was immediate and Amelia couldn't move at all.
