Your Incompetence Does Not Mean That Others Are Also Incompetent
The man’s wife heard the commotion and rushed over. Her legs gave way, and she knelt beside her husband and wailed loudly. She reached out and pulled the shopkeeper, she pleaded, “Sob, sob, shopkeeper, I beg you to save my husband. If we lose him, our family will collapse!”
The shopkeeper furrowed his brows in embarrassment and advised, “Madam, it’s not that I’m unwilling to save him, but I’m powerless. You’d better grieve and prepare for the funeral...”
The woman’s face turned pale when she heard this, and she cried even louder.
Just as the scene was in chaos, an intelligent female voice rang out, “Madam, may I have a try?”
Everyone looked at the woman who spoke at the same time and saw Gu Qingxue dressed in plain clothes.
“Do you have a way?” The shopkeeper looked at Gu Qingxue and felt that the woman’s eyes were exceptionally bright, and the noble temperament she exuded made him not dare to underestimate her.
“I can give it a try.” Gu Qingxue looked at the woman. “Madam, time is of the essence. If you don’t agree now, it will be too late.”
That woman had never seen Gu Qingxue before, so she knew very well that she was definitely not a doctor in the town.
However, at this moment, she did not have a choice.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Miss!” As the woman spoke, she stood up and bowed to Gu Qingxue.
Doctor Xiao looked at Gu Qingxue, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. “Miss, I can understand that you’re young and immature, but this patient’s lung disease is too severe. I’ve been practicing medicine for fifty years, but I’m still helpless. It’s obvious that he’s hopeless. Miss, it’s better if you don’t come here to humiliate yourself.”
“Your incompetence doesn’t mean that other people are also incompetent.” Gu Qingxue did not even raise her head. She bent down and quickly checked on the man’s condition.
“Miss, can my husband still be saved?” The woman asked while sobbing, almost losing her breath.
“Miss, I advise you not to take action if you’re not fully confident. Many doctors make mistakes because they’re too confident. You’re still young. There’s no need to put yourself in danger,” the middle-aged shopkeeper continued to advise the patient’s wife, “Doctor Xiao already said that her husband is hopeless. Why do you insist on dragging this lady down with you?”
The shopkeeper’s intention to save the patient was good, but he had to do everything within his means.
If the doctor’s treatment caused the patient’s condition to worsen when the patient was on the verge of death, the doctor would also be implicated if anything happened to the patient in the end.
Seeing that Gu Qingxue was still young, the shopkeeper reminded her out of kindness.
Gu Qingxue opened the man’s clothes and looked at the bruise on his chest. She already had an answer in her heart. “You don’t care about the life and death of the patient just because you’re afraid of implicating yourself. You don’t have a compassionate heart and are not worthy to be a doctor.”
“You... What do you mean by that? My shopkeeper advised you out of kindness, but you don’t know how to appreciate a good person’s kindness! Alright, I’d like to see how capable you are today! If a young lady like you can cure this disease, I’ll never practice medicine again for the rest of my life!” Doctor Xiao said angrily.
“Doctor Xiao, why are you so angry...” the shopkeeper quickly tried to persuade him.
“What? Shopkeeper, do you believe her instead of me?” Doctor Xiao widened his eyes.
The shopkeeper was silent.
He did not believe that Gu Qingxue was really capable of reviving the dead. However, for some reason, he felt that the woman in front of him had a special temperament, which made him a little expectant.
“Madam, the next scene will be a little bloody. It’s better not to see it for the timid ones. Shopkeeper, please make an empty room for me,” Gu Qingxue instructed.
