Chapter 1671
"Enough with the chit-chat. Go in quickly. Tis of the essence." Johann already knew that Leia was back. He was, however, surprised that she was brought to the hospital again.
Previously, her attending doctor told her that her condition was much better after she took Luca and his medicine together.
However...
Johann believed that this matter had nothing to do with Luca. Maybe Leia did something that led to the current situation.
After all, this woman was something else when it cto causing trouble to others.
Johann had seen a lot of dry needling treatments but he noticed that they could not make the patient better at once. After all, it was more of a long-term treatment. Even so, Luca's dry needling skills seemed to be more miraculous than others.
Her treatments seemed to work just fine.
As she walked in, Johann said, "Dr. Craw, can I go in and watch as you perform dry needling?"
Luca was stunned but nodded and responded, "Not an issue."
Johann followed behind her.
Queenie watched the two walk in but still felt very anxious. She also wanted to go in to check on Leia, but she was afraid that she would cause trouble by doing so.
Luca walked in and saw Leia lying on the bed. She seemed to have lost consciousness. She did not open her eyes even when others cin and out.
At the stime, her body was full of tubes. The machine was ticking to show her current physical condition.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe could tell that the doctor and nurses had given Leia first aid in a race against time.
Luca exchanged glances with Johann and pushed a cart over.
She cleared the medical equipment on it and took out a set of dry needling tools from her backpack.
Johann looked at her tools and thought that they looked a little different from the dry needling tools on the market. He could tell that her tools were not for one-tuse.
He did not say anything because he trusted Luca, so he just observed her next move.
Luca meticulously sterilized the needles one by one as she explained, "I'll sterilize these needles before they're used. They're clean."
"Mm," Johann nodded and replied, "I know sexperienced practitioners would have a set of spare needles with them. When they see ordinary patients, they'll use those disposable needles that can be found in the market for treatment but in sspecial cases, they'll use their own set of needles."
"To skilled practitioners, needles have souls," Luca said. In ancient times, needles were a tool to save people. Back then, everything was monotonous and could not be compared to how much dry needling had since advanced.
Although this treatment was monotonous, it was useful.
Luca spoke as she finished sterilizing all the needles.
When a needle was about to be pricked into Leia's flesh, the ER doctor standing outside the door came in and looked at the situation inside. he stuttered, "Uh, can I cin to observe?"
"Yes but you're not allowed to speak," Johann replied on Luca's behalf.
Luca nodded, looked at the two of them, and said, "Doctors don't see gender, right?"
"No, it's all the same." Johann knew what she meant.
Luca first checked Leia's pulse, then took a look at her facial features. Finally, she undressed her. She pressed on the important weak points and carefully observed Leia's expression.
When she pressed on sof the weak points, Leia's expression would change slightly. Her brows would wrinkle.
Luca would tell what was happening from these slight changes in her expression.
Johann was not well versed in dry needling but he had a basic understanding of the weak points on the body. He looked at the places where Luca pressed and thought that a few were not the weak points he knew...
Nevertheless, her movements made Leia react.
‘Could it be that these are special spots?'
After Luca thought about it, she started treating Leia. When the long needle was inserted into Leia's body, the experienced Johann could not help but feel a little pain.
The needle was so long...
Luca inserted the needles one by one. Leia did not cry out, possibly because she was in a coma.
Johann watched her prick the needles into Leia's head after she pricked the needles at a few important weak points on Leia's body.
The ER doctor could not sit still. It was important to know that there were many weak points on the head. If the needle was positioned wrongly, it would endanger the patient.
He took a step forward and intended to remind Luca but Johann shot a glance at him. He shook his head, signaling him not to fool around.
The ER doctor had to hold back the thought.
Luca inserted the needles carefully. She knew that if she made a mistake, the damage might be irreparable. Hence, she was extra careful when doing this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinally, after three needles were pricked into the top of Leia's head, she then inserted needles into Leia's lower body.
The whole process took 20 minutes.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I assyou drew sblood for a test when she was admitted? When will the report be ready?" "Her situation is urgent so the process has been expedited. We'll likely get the results in a while," the ER doctor said.
Luca nodded, "We'll wait, then."
Johann touched his chin. After Luca finished the treatment, he was able to ask the question in his heart. "Uh, Dr. Craw, what weak point does this needle correspond to? I don't seem to have seen this weak point before?"
"There are so many weak points in the human body. After so many years, somissions are normal. What do you think, Dr. Park?" Luca did not give a straight answer. As she learned it from Shanks, others would not be able to acquire this knowledge anywhere else.
Johann realized that Luca was unwilling to share, so he nodded and said, "That's a fair point. I see that the patient's heart rate has also increased. Your treatment is having good effects on the patient.”
Luca took a look at the machine and found that Leia's indicators were indeed much better than before.
"Yeah but it also could be because of the medicine that was used when they were rescuing her," she said, unwilling to take all the credit to herself.
Johann smiled.
After a while, Leia's blood test report was sent over. The ER doctor hurriedly pulled the blood test results from the day Leia was discharged from the hospital on the tablet. He compared the two reports and frowned. "Her indicators have dropped a lot but because it was discovered early, her condition has not yet reached the point where it's possible to put her in the queue for an organ transplant."
Luca glanced at Leia. She understood that it meant that her body had gotten worse, but it was not the worst that it could be.
"This... shouldn't be. Wasn't she recuperating well after she took Luca and the other doctor's medicine?" Johann said.
Luca explained in a neutral tone, "Mrs. Norman said that after she returned home, she had been secretly dumping my medicine down the drain. She had only been taking the other doctor's medicine."
Johann understood the situation. "No wonder. She had a chance to get better but alas. She asked for it."
Luca sighed and said, "By the way, Dr. Park, when Mrs. Norman talks to you later, can you agree to her requests?"
