Chapter 9
C9 – Misdiagnosis!
Edgar took out a row of silver needles from his long robe.
“Auntie, after I finish my acupuncture, Miss Alyssa will be fine in five minutes.”
“Thank you.” The auntie said.
Disinfecting.
Edgar picked up the needle.
Edgar began to perform the acupuncture.
It was done in one go.
In just two minutes, Edgar had finished his acupuncture.
A few minutes later, Alyssa’s face turned from purple to pink. Her breathing gradually calmed down, and she immediately recovered.
“This is Bill Orta’s Five Spirit Points? I have long heard of it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. It is indeed magical.”
“Young Mr. Deason is Bill Orta’s proud disciple. Bill Orta can be called a godly doctor, but Young Mr. Deason is the Little magic doctor.”
“Little magic doctor!”
Everyone cheered.
Edgar smiled. He had achieved his goal, but he still said humbly, “I am just a little doctor. It is my duty to treat people and save them. I am not worthy of the title of Little magic doctor.”
Everyone nodded silently. Their eyes were filled with praise.
A talented person like Edgar should have a good moral character.
“Auntie, your young lady is already fine. She will wake up soon.”
“Thank you, Young Mr. Deason. You are the savior of Miss Alyssa.” The auntie said gratefully.
Edgar turned around and looked at Lachlan coldly. He said in disdain, “Didn’t you say that if I were to perform acupuncture on the Central Acupoint, the chances of Miss Alyssa surviving are very slim? But she is about to wake up. What else do you have to say?”
Lachlan said indifferently, “You’ll know soon enough.”
Lachlan was still puzzled just now.
Edgar’s medical skills seemed to be quite good, but why could he not tell that Alyssa’s heart was blocked and misdiagnosed as a pulmonary embolism?
Only when Edgar started to perform the acupuncture treatment did Lachlan realize that he had underestimated the situation.
Edgar had superb skills. He could know the patient’s condition.
However, Edgar’s skills were not good enough. He could not tell that Alyssa had congenital heart disease.
In addition, he wanted to show off his medical skills, but he did not investigate Alyssa’s condition, which resulted in a misdiagnosis.
The consequence of a misdiagnosis was that Alyssa might die!
“Why are you still not leaving? Are you going to leave only after the Windsor family finds trouble with you?”
The auntie frowned and said.
“How can he be so shameless? He deceived everyone, and he still refused to leave?”
“Do you really hope that something bad will happen to Miss Windsor?”
“Everyone, quickly call the police and arrest him. He is a liar.”
Suddenly, the auntie shouted, scaring everyone.
“Young Mr. Deason, it’s bad. Miss suddenly vomited blood.”
Everyone was terrified when they saw this scene.
A moment ago, Alyssa’s rosy face had lost its color, and her face had turned black and purple. She even spat out a large mouthful of blood.
“That’s impossible. Just now, I used the acupuncture method that Master taught me to help Alyssa clear her lungs. What’s going on?”
As Young Mr. Deason felt Alyssa’s pulse getting weaker and weaker, he broke out in a cold sweat. In an instant, he panicked.
“If it wasn’t for your arrogance, how could you misdiagnose Alyssa? I clearly said that her heart was blocked, but you actually unblocked her lungs. This may seem to be a cure, but in fact, you have unintentionally increased the burden on her organs, which is why she coughed up blood.”
Lachlan said coldly.
“Impossible. Who do you think you are? Who do you think you have the right to criticize me?” Edgar said stubbornly.
“Aren’t you able to tell that Alyssa has congenital heart disease?” Lachlan said in a loud voice.
Edgar’s pupils dilated, and his hands could not help but tremble.
“She has congenital heart disease?”
The auntie was also so scared that her entire body trembled. She nodded heavily and said, “Yes. The Windsor family has invited countless doctors, but none of them have been able to cure her.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? Do you know that this will cause me to misdiagnose her?”
Edgar instantly broke down.
The reason why Edgar was so sure of Alyssa’s condition was because he thought that she was a normal person. However, if she had a congenital heart disease, she would not be able to compare to ordinary people.
More importantly, if his method was wrong, it would cause Alyssa’s death.
In the future, not only would he have to bear the wrath of the Windsor family, but he would also be notorious. From then on, he would be forced to withdraw from the medical world.
“What? Little magic doctor actually misdiagnosed Alyssa’s condition?”
“We’ve all wronged Lachlan?”
The auntie woke up from her stupor. She quickly grabbed Lachlan’s hand and said, “Lachlan, I was rude to you just now. It’s all my fault. Can I please ask you to save the young lady?”
Lachlan shook his head and said, “Let the Little magic doctor treat her. I’m just a liar.”
Lachlan said to Edgar, “With Miss Alyssa Windsor’s condition, she can only last for three minutes at most.”
Edgar was sweating profusely. He could not think of a way to save her, unless his teacher came personally. However, there was no time for that.
Right now, the only person who could save Alyssa Windsor was Lachlan. However, if he lowered his head to Lachlan, it would be as uncomfortable as killing him.
However, he did not dare to bear the consequences.
“Lachlan, I was reckless just now. Please treat her.”
Lachlan still shook his head and said, “But I don’t have a certificate of medical practice. If something happens to her, I won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”
“You.”
Edgar was speechless. He did not expect Lachlan to be so difficult to deal with.
“Lachlan, I beg you to save the young lady! She really can’t hold on any longer.”
The auntie’s face was filled with tears. She was about to kneel down and beg.
Lachlan quickly pulled the auntie away and said, “All of you, move aside. Give me the silver needles.”
Lachlan began to treat Alyssa Windsor.
He used nine needles in total. All of them were inserted into Alyssa Windsor’s meridians.
The nine silver needles seemed to form a small needle technique that activated the blood circulation.
Especially the last needle, it was like a finishing touch. The nine needles seemed to be dancing in joy.
“This is the Reinforcing Technique? I have no regrets in my life to have seen the Reinforcing Technique.”
“What is the Reinforcing Technique?”
“According to the legends, when all nine needles are released, as long as a person has a breath, they can be saved. However, I heard that this technique was long lost.”
Edgar’s face turned pale. With his experience, how could he not recognize the Reinforcing Technique?
However, he did not think so. After all, the Reinforcing Technique had long been lost. Who knew if Lachlan was lucky?
Sure enough, when the Reinforcing Technique was released.
Alyssa’s face turned red again, and her pulse returned to normal.
“Remember, try not to have too much mental fluctuation in the future. I can save you once, but I can’t save you all the time. You have to take care of yourself.”
In fact, Alyssa was still in a half-awake state. She could hear Lachlan’s instructions, but she could not wake up to thank her savior.
“She is fine now. When the ambulance comes later, you guys can go to the hospital for a checkup.”
Lachlan said to the nanny.
The nanny said gratefully, “I really don’t know how to thank you! I was wrong about you just now, I’m really sorry.”
“Sorry, Lachlan, we all misunderstood you.”
“Actually, you are the real Little magic doctor!”
The onlookers felt ashamed and apologized to him one after another.
Lachlan waved his hand indifferently.
At this moment, Edgar had become the unimportant object of everyone’s attention. Moreover, he was being looked down upon by everyone.
He had always been proud and arrogant. He had never received such a cold treatment before. “You are just lucky. Do you really think that you are a godly doctor? What a joke!”
