Chapter 491: 491: Doctor Qiao is Deeply Loved
Only then did people realize that the silent old doctor, who was Qiao Yin’s grandmother and mentor, was the real expert here.
With Doctor Qiao’s formidable medical skills, how extraordinary must her teacher’s skills be?
Now at least they won’t worry about not finding a good doctor if they fall ill in the future!
Most of the patients suffered from minor ailments such as back and leg pain or gynecological issues, which were quite easy to treat.
Only Aunt Hu, who was in her fifties, was suffering from a more serious condition — severe migraines that had bothered her for many years.
When an attack occurred, the pain was so intense that she would even vomit, and it was impossible for her to sleep at night.
Qiao Yin performed acupuncture on her just once, and her pain was greatly relieved. She even felt like her world had brightened, and various noises were no longer irritatingly painful to her.
She finally understood the elderly lady’s sentiment of kneeling and kowtowing to Qiao Yin out of gratitude. To be cured indeed aroused a tremendous wave of gratitude towards the doctor.
Besides acupuncture, Qiao Yin also prescribed some medicines for her to take home.
The total cost of the acupuncture and medicines came up to more than 900 yuan, which was relatively expensive for ordinary people.
Yet, Aunt Hu felt that Qiao Yin was charging too little. She had seen so many doctors and spent nearly a hundred thousand yuan on her migraines, which stubbornly refused to heal and were only worsening.
She didn’t expect that just one session of acupuncture from Qiao Yin would significantly alleviate her suffering.
“Doctor Qiao, can my condition be cured permanently? It won’t hurt again in the future, right?”
“It can be cured. Come for acupuncture three times a week, take your medicine regularly, and you won’t need to come back after a month.”
Aunt Hu was pleasantly surprised, “Really?!”
Qiao Yin smiled and nodded, “Really. Your condition, once properly diagnosed and treated, is not difficult to cure. The hard part probably lies in most doctors being unable to identify your real cause of the disease, which has delayed treatment.”
Aunt Hu admired her and thanked her repeatedly. After taking her medicines home, she returned in the afternoon.
This time, she was here to present a banner.
Qiao Yin accepted the banner and laughed, “Aunt Hu, the treatment for your disease has just started. The symptoms of your headache have only eased, and have not completely disappeared. Why are you in such a rush to present me a banner?”
“Oh, you don’t understand. I had a good sleep for the first time in forever during noon. I haven’t been able to sleep well because of the constant headaches. The ability to sleep peacefully feels extremely blissful to me. So, I hurried to buy a banner to thank you!”
After Aunt Hu finished speaking, she handed Qiao Yin a basket of sunny green grapes, “My family runs a fruit shop not far from here. If you wish to eat any fruit, Doctor Qiao, just come to my shop and take it. I won’t charge you!”
Qiao Yin declined, “Oh no, you run a fruit shop too. Please take these grapes back for sale!”
But Aunt Hu simply put down the basket and left. Before leaving, she warmly repeated to Qiao Yin, “Come and take some more from my shop after you finish eating these, Doctor Qiao!”
Qiao Yin could only smile helplessly and handed the basket over to her cousin. “Cousin, wash these and let’s eat. I remember An loves green grapes.”
Hearing this, Ye Wan nodded, smiling on her face but feeling a little bitter inside.
Her son did indeed love green grapes, but recently her husband had stopped giving her money, and she didn’t even have enough to buy grapes.
Now, seeing the basket full of green grapes, her son couldn’t tear his gaze away from it.
She was a bit upset at the sight.
Fortunately, it was her grandmother and cousin who opened the clinic. They took care of her and her son’s meals and fruits. Otherwise, raising her son would be a problem.
She secretly made up her mind to learn medical skills well, just like her cousin. She wanted to earn money and look after her son well, not letting him endure any hardship.
