My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce - Chapter 496
Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Patient No. 505’s Hand Moved Again
Perhaps it was because she had watched the wedding video of Lu Lingche and Lan Yuyi, Qiao Yin was feeling a bit upset.
However, she did not show it.
After dinner, she said goodbye to her grandmother and then drove to Shensong Hospital.
During the day, she had been occupied at the medical clinic and hadn’t had a chance to treat the two comatose patients at Shensong Hospital.
So, she could only come in the evening.
Shensong Hospital felt even more desolate at night, with only a single duty nurse in the spacious lobby. The entire hospital building seemed empty, with few patients and lights out in most places.
The nurse’s eyes lit upon seeing her, “Doctor Qiao, why are you here so late?”
Qiao Yin nodded at her and smiled softly, “I came to treat patients 505 and 517, want to come with me?”
The nurse hurriedly nodded, “Sure, sure, I’ll be your assistant!”
In reality, Qiao Yin didn’t need an assistant.
However, the emptiness of the hospital with its speckled walls and echoey corridors gave it a faintly eerie atmosphere at night.
Having watched many horror films and heard many ghost stories, Qiao Yin was somewhat uneasy about such settings.
The nurse also seemed timid, or she wouldn’t have been so glad to see her.
After all, there were no patients coming to the hospital; whether the nurse was on duty or not made no difference. It was better for her to accompany Qiao Yin, and they could chat while treating the patients.
What surprised Qiao Yin was that when she got to her office, she found that Song Zhu had not left yet; he was placing something on her office desk.
She asked in astonishment, “Doctor Song, why haven’t you left yet? It’s already past eight, are you still working overtime at the hospital?”
Song Zhu was equally surprised to see her, “I was just about to leave after delivering these things to you. Why are you here at this hour?”
“I didn’t have time in the day, so I had to come at night. The treatment for patients 505 and 517 must not be interrupted.”
“Doctor Qiao is, indeed, very dedicated. Those two patients are very lucky.”
He passed her a white coat, “This is a newly tailored lab coat, the logo has been changed to Shensong Hospital. Try it on and see if it’s the right fit.”
Qiao Yin put it on, “Yes, it’s a good fit. I’ll wear this new one today.”
“No problem, I have made two for you. You can wear them in turns; I have left the other one on your desk.”
Qiao Yin nodded, “Okay, then I’ll start the treatment.”
“I’ll go with you!”
Qiao Yin thought for a moment, and didn’t refuse. She went to ward 505 with him and the nurse.
“Doctor Qiao, the public service announcement for tracing the families of these two vegetative patients has been completed. It should be able to air tomorrow. Except for his head, patient 505 has no other injuries, so his family should be able to recognize him. Patient 517, unfortunately, has facial disfigurement. I fear even his closest relatives might have difficulty.”
Qiao Yin shook her head slightly, “It’s okay, we just have to do our best to help them. Inviting the media to report on them can raise the profile of our hospital. Whether we can locate their families will depend on luck.”
Yes, she was a doctor who cured diseases and saved lives, but she wouldn’t just do charity without making money; if the hospital couldn’t survive, these two vegetative patients would have even less hope.
The acupuncture session went very smoothly.
After completing the acupuncture, patient 505’s hand moved again, this time it twitched more vigorously and for an extended period, so everyone saw it.
The nurse couldn’t help but exclaim, “Doctor Qiao, you are amazing, it seems like patient 505 is about to wake up! He has been lying here motionless for more than half a year, I thought he would never wake up.”
