Chapter 4: The Beautiful Doctor Who Knew Acupuncture

“Bang!”

The restaurant door was pushed open violently, hitting the wall with a loud noise. Panting heavily, Lin Yifu stood at the doorway, looking at the stunned group in the restaurant, his face full of panic.

“It’s bad! That kid A-Mu just fell from the balcony!”

Lin Yitai and Lin Rong exchanged a look, immediately stood up, and followed Lin Yifu out of the restaurant.

Old Master Lin, sitting in his wheelchair, kept making “uh” and “huh” sounds, his trembling left hand slowly raised and shakily pointed toward the direction of the living room door.

The nanny nearby saw this and immediately pushed Old Master Lin out of the restaurant, following the others to the living room entrance.

The unconscious Lin Mu was slumped on the steps of the first floor, next to some broken pieces of a liquor bottle. A large amount of blood was slowly seeping out from under Lin Mu.

Seeing this scene, a trace of barely noticeable sorrow flashed in Old Master Lin’s dazed eyes. Struggling, he reached forward and fell out of his wheelchair, landing beside Lin Mu. He kept pushing Lin Mu’s body.

The nanny quickly stepped forward to help Old Master Lin up, then called the emergency number.

In less than ten minutes, an ambulance had arrived at the Dinghu Villa area. Several medical staff got out of the vehicle and took away Lin Mu, whose condition was unknown.

Donghai City First Hospital, as a municipal hospital, had many highly skilled doctors and various advanced medical facilities.

Both in terms of software and hardware, First Hospital was among the top-tier hospitals in Huaxia. Currently, Lin Mu had been quickly sent by the doctors into the intensive care emergency room.

“Dr. Zhou, there is a patient in the emergency room who fell from a building while drunk. The situation is critical and we need your assistance.”

A nurse rushed into the doctor’s office in a hurry, panting as she spoke.

Dr. Zhou, who had been handling documents, looked up. She turned out to be a very young and beautiful woman.

She had slightly curly wavy hair, a simple center-parted hairstyle, delicate features with a slightly pale complexion, and a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

“Okay, let’s go now.”

Upon receiving the nurse’s message, Zhou Shiyun did not delay. She immediately took a small linen cloth package from the drawer, stood up, and left the office with the nurse.

Walking side by side, the nurse was noticeably shorter than Zhou Shiyun—by more than a head. From the looks of it, Dr. Zhou was probably over 175 centimeters tall.

“How is the patient’s condition now?”

As soon as she entered the operating room, Zhou Shiyun immediately put on sterilized gloves and a mask, looking at Lin Mu lying on the table.

“Dr. Zhou is here.” The lead surgeon, a male doctor, glanced up and quickly looked down again to continue cleaning the wound on Lin Mu’s head.

“The patient fell from the fourth floor and hit his head on the steps, causing a skull fracture and massive internal bleeding.”

“In addition, there were broken pieces of a liquor bottle on the steps. Combined, these factors make the patient’s condition very unfavorable. He could die at any moment, and that’s not even the most critical part.”

“What?” Zhou Shiyun was slightly taken aback.

“Look here.” The male doctor pointed at the CT scanner screen, which showed a cross-sectional scan of Lin Mu’s brain, displaying various colors.

“The active area here on the left is rapidly shrinking. According to modern medical research, this is the part of the brain where consciousness is generated.”

“Right now, the thermal reaction in this area is decreasing quickly, indicating that the patient’s self-awareness is weakening. He may have already lost the will to survive.”

“In other words, the patient himself probably doesn’t want to live. For someone in critical condition, this is the most fatal aspect.”

Zhou Shiyun’s expression turned serious, her brows slightly furrowed as she stared at the CT scanner display.

It indeed showed a small area in Lin Mu’s brain where the vivid colors were rapidly fading. Compared to its previous size, it had shrunk by about two-thirds.

“I heard that Dr. Zhou is skilled in acupuncture, learned from a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I wonder if Dr. Zhou has any method to alleviate the patient’s current condition?” The lead surgeon stated the reason for asking Zhou Shiyun to come.

After a brief thought, Zhou Shiyun immediately nodded and said, “There is a method, but it also carries significant risks.”

“I think for the patient, surviving is more important than anything. If there’s no way to improve the current situation, the patient is expected to be declared dead within 10 minutes,” the lead surgeon said calmly.

Thinking it over, Zhou Shiyun also found this reasonable. No matter what the risks were, if no action was taken now, the patient would not even have a chance to survive.

Without delay, Zhou Shiyun unfolded the small linen cloth package on the instrument table. It was filled with slender silver needles, each about 20 centimeters long.

Using her right index and middle fingers to pinch and slightly twist, she accurately inserted five silver needles into different positions on Lin Mu’s head.

Then, the image on the CT scanner screen suddenly brightened. The area representing where consciousness was generated suddenly became active, not only stopping its shrinkage but even showing a tendency to gradually expand.

“I used a special silver needle acupuncture technique to stimulate the patient’s potential. However, if this lasts too long, it will directly lead to complete brain death for the patient.”

Looking at the astonished lead surgeon, Zhou Shiyun spoke calmly.
