The 14th episode: The condition of saving people
Listening to Chen Nannuo's pleading, Li Yan couldn't help but hesitate. Although he indeed had the ability to save people, he also knew that practicing medicine without a license was against the law. Yesterday morning was an accidental encounter, and lending a hand once was okay, but if this continued, it wouldn't be good for him. What if someone with ulterior motives took advantage of him, and things ended up bringing him unforeseen trouble?
Seeing Li Yan hesitate and not respond, Chen Nannan's heart suddenly rose, at this moment, she was really afraid of being rejected.
Grandfather's illness, even the most authoritative experts in the country are powerless, has always been only able to undergo conservative treatment of a controlling nature. Now that he has had a myocardial infarction, she, who has carefully studied this condition, naturally knows that the situation is extremely severe. Since myocardial necrosis has already occurred, the heart's function will also be lost in an extremely short period of time.
Just yesterday afternoon, experts from major city hospitals who rushed to Longtan City People's Hospital had a consultation with the doctors and all believed that only conservative treatment could be continued. The patient's physical decline was already very severe, and undergoing heart surgery at this time was extremely dangerous, and even without half of the grasp.
That night, Chen Nann didn't sleep at all. Her mother had passed away early, and her father was always strict with her. Only her grandfather was the most doting on her. Now that her grandfather was seriously ill, she was naturally worried to death. As she tossed and turned, she suddenly thought of what the expert had said during the consultation about her grandfather's luck, saying that if it wasn't for meeting a hidden medical master by chance at the time of his illness, he would have been gone long ago. Moreover, after receiving treatment from that rescuer, not only was his condition controlled, but even the damaged heart muscle showed signs of recovery function. It had to be said that this was a miracle.
She rushed over early in the morning, waiting at the park gate, wanting to find that mysterious young doctor. Perhaps it was heaven's pity, after waiting for more than an hour, she finally waited for the doctor she wanted to wait for. However, now the other party actually said that he is not a doctor and does not want to take action, suddenly making her anxious.
"Doctor, please! You have to save my grandfather! I'm begging you! Waaahhh......" Chen Nang thought of her grandfather still lying in the hospital bed, his condition could worsen at any moment and he might leave this world. Her heart was filled with sorrow and tears kept falling down uncontrollably.
Seeing such a beautiful and lovely girl crying so sadly in front of him, even Li Yan couldn't bear it. To be honest, the current situation made him very difficult. If he saved her, he would be guilty of illegal medical practice, which could bring great trouble to himself; if he didn't save her, it would be a loss of life, and although he wasn't someone who was sympathetic to others, he also wasn't heartless, and he really couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"Alas... In today's world, morality is indeed declining!" An elderly man who was out for a morning exercise couldn't help but let out a soft sigh after witnessing the situation.
"Yes! Yes! This young man doesn't look bad, but how could he do such a thing? Look at that little girl crying so sadly!"
"They look so young, probably still students, now it's almost time for the college entrance exam, and they're still talking about romance. Sigh, nowadays' students are really getting worse with each generation..."
"I——" was indeed a master of the Scattered Immortal level, with astonishing hearing abilities. Even from a distance, he could clearly hear the discussions of these old men and women. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel like vomiting blood. Looking at the girl in front of him who was crying sorrowfully, he finally retreated: "Forget it, since we've met, it's considered fate, but if you want me to take action, you must follow the conditions I set."
Chen Nan was crying bitterly, but suddenly heard that there was a turning point in the matter. She immediately suppressed her own crying and repeatedly said: "Okay! Okay! You say, no matter what conditions, I agree!"
At this point, it's like a drowning person, even if there is a straw on the water surface, she wants to grab it. At this moment, she hasn't considered at all that even if Li Yan takes action, he may not be able to save her grandfather.
Sometimes, patients' families are like this, blindly trusting famous doctors, but in the end, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and even possibly facing despair. However, these cannot be blamed on the doctor, after all, doctors are not gods who can change the law of life and death.
Moreover, even if one is an immortal, they are not omnipotent...
Li Yan said calmly, "Firstly, I won't go to the hospital for a consultation. You can either keep the patient at home or bring them directly to the park because I don't have a medical license. In a sense, I'm not even a doctor. Secondly, I need an agreement that regardless of the outcome, neither you nor your family members are allowed to hold me responsible. After all, the patient's condition is already very severe, and no one knows what unexpected situation might arise."
Li Yan was not an ordinary eighteen-year-old youth. As a loose immortal who had cultivated for countless years, his thinking was naturally extremely mature. Although it was sudden, he still brought out some information that was more beneficial to himself in the shortest time possible.
"Moreover, there is a third point. When I am treating the patient, no other doctors are allowed to be present. Of course, you can choose one family member to take care of the patient by their side, but no matter what happens, they cannot make any noise or behave in any way that might affect the treatment, otherwise it may directly lead to the patient's death."
"Lastly, the fourth point, I've been very busy lately and only have time on Sundays. If possible, let's schedule the treatment for this Sunday. Additionally, after it's all done, I don't want you to reveal any information about me to outsiders. Otherwise, I'll take some unpleasant measures and retract the medical results from this treatment." Having said that, Li Yan paused for a moment, feeling that he hadn't missed anything important, before stopping.
Chen Nan had been listening attentively all along, and only after Li Yan finished speaking did she hurriedly respond: "Thank you, Doctor. The conditions you mentioned, I'll call my mom and discuss them with her right away, and then give you a reply."
"No need, I've said it before, I'll be here every morning for the next few days to exercise. You go back and discuss with your family, if you're willing, come find me again on Sunday morning. Otherwise, don't bother coming to find me again." With that, Li Yan didn't linger any longer and turned around to walk out of the park.
Nonsense, this matter was originally done with a few points of unwillingness, being able to agree to treat the old man's illness was already his great benevolence. After all, although he understood medical skills, he wasn't a doctor, so treating illnesses and saving people wasn't really what he wanted to do.
For a free and unconstrained immortal, all things in the universe are one with me, and even the infinite expanse of the stars cannot influence my decisions or restrict my actions. This is true freedom.
Birth, aging, illness and death are ultimately the laws of heaven and earth. Those who cultivate like Li Yan forcibly take the creation of heaven and earth for their own use, obtaining eternal life and the power of eternity with heaven and earth. They are already in a state of natural struggle with heaven and earth, and heaven and earth impose severe restrictions on them. Often, three disasters and five calamities are brought down upon them, and if they are not careful, it will be a case of their soul flying away and their spirit dispersing. Naturally, he does not want to interfere with the cycle of life and death again, so as not to increase his own karma and increase the power of thunderbolts.
"Please wait...... I......" The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Chen Nann couldn't help but swallow them back, because Li Yan had already gone far away.
To be honest, these conditions are actually very harsh. Chen Nan felt a bit wronged and sad, but didn't dare to get emotional with Li Yan. It's undeniable that birth, aging, illness, and death have always been humanity's greatest enemies. When one is ill, the sky and earth may seem vast, but doctors are the biggest of all.
So, Li Yan seemed to be leaving with a hint of impatience, and for the sake of her grandfather's illness, she had to swallow back what she wanted to say, staring blankly in the direction where Li Yan left.
