BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117 – Normal Appearance
Isn’t this Doctor Zhao from the Love Pet Hospital? He didn’t even change his white coat, he only added a pair of glasses, and ran out to see people!
“Hey, hey, hey, Dr. Zhao, why are you like this! Aren’t you a vet? Just because you can treat cats and dogs, it doesn’t mean you can cure people!?”
Dr. Zhao, who was wearing glasses, made a sound of surprise.
“What? Do you know my big brother? Haha, we do look very similar, it’s reasonable if you mistake the two of us...”
“In fact, this hospital should have been inherited by my brother, but he always felt he might accidentally cause a death, and there was too much responsibility, so he changed his career to become a veterinarian...”
“As a result, the family business was inherited by me who was not afraid of causing death, hahahaha——”
If I took a closer look, this Dr. Zhao who was wearing glasses, was indeed younger than the veterinarian Dr. Zhao of the pet hospital.
But his last line made me very uneasy.
What do you mean you’re not afraid of causing death? You might not be afraid, but I am! Don’t come over here, don’t touch my arm! Originally, I thought that since Xiao Qin’s family was a martial arts family, their recommended doctor would be reliable. Now I feel he is more and more unreliable!
“Young man, don’t be shy!” Dr. Zhao rolled up the sleeves of his white coat. His thick wrists showed that he had quite a bit of strength. “Don’t hide anything from your doctor, I only want to look at your arm and not your chrysanthemums...”
Who’s going to show you chrysanthemums! Don’t say such filthy words in front of a girl! Also, you’re an orthopedic doctor, when would you ever meet a patient with chrysanthemum fractures!
“Eh? Are you embarrassed because you were hurt by Xiao Qin?”
Xiao Qin, who was behind Dr. Zhao, hung her head even lower.
“Don’t worry! Our family and the Ren family go way back! I know pretty much everything about their family! For people who practice martial arts, if it’s not hurting themselves then they are hurting others. It’s completely normal if Xiao Qin gave you a bone fracture!”
“Ah? Is it broken?”
Although I comforted Xiao Qin and told her it was nothing to worry about, but deep down I was still a little concerned.
Although connecting bones wasn’t that bad, if there were any residual effects, the power of my left hand will be greatly reduced from now on.
“I don’t know!”
Dr. Zhao said innocently.
“If you don’t show me your arm, how would I know if your bones are broken or not? If you keep hiding it, I’ll have to give you an amputation!”
I sighed and showed him the left arm that had become red and swollen.
Dr. Zhao poked and pinched my arm, which was itchy and painful. Combined with the x-ray I took in the CT room next door, he quickly reached a conclusion.
“Oh, it’s pretty normal, no need for amputation...”
Obviously, even I know that there is no need to amputate! Tell me what is wrong!
“Well...it’s a normal elbow joint periosteal injury, I have already done the basic treatment for you. Then I’ll prescribe you some medicine for blood circulation and clots... but you can’t rub it! If you rub it, it’s not my fault if you have to get amputated!”
It doesn’t sound that serious. A bit of warmth and color returned to Xiao Qin’s face. It seems that my injury was lighter than she expected.
“Oh right, you can’t do strenuous activities. Your left wrist is a bit thicker than your right wrist, are you left-handed?”
He even noticed such a subtle difference. Although Dr. Zhao keeps shooting off his mouth, he was quite attentive.
“No, I write with my right hand, but my left hand is stronger, maybe I was just born this way...”
“It’s okay, no need to explain!” Dr. Zhao eagerly waved his hand. “Since the invention of the computer and the mouse, the left hand of men has definitely become thicker...”
What the hell are you saying? Don’t expose which hand I use to rub one out in front of Xiao Qin! Also, I was naturally born with a stronger left hand, it has nothing to do with the computer and mouse.
Xiao Qin, who was just relieved because of my mild injury, was now turning pale! Was it because she’s feeling guilty that she hurt the hand that I use to rub one out?
That guilt is misdirected! It’s not like I’ll die if I don’t rub one out for a while, why do you have a bitter face like you’re mourning! Rubbing one out isn’t high on the list of priorities for me! If you were willing to stop getting involved with me, I’ll swear to god that I will never rub one out ever again!
“Dr. Zhao...” Xiao Qin thought for a while before asking, “Can you give Ye Lin classmate a splint?”
“Why?” Dr. Zhao was baffled. “It’s not injured to that extent.”
“But, Ye Lin classmate is too impulsive. If by any chance he couldn’t resist and perform strenuous exercises with his left hand, wouldn’t that be bad?”
“You’re right! A young boy in puberty lacks self-control. I could simply fix his left arm with a splint and wrap it up with a bandage so that he can’t grip onto anything!”
That’s enough! Xiao Qin’s words can also be understood as afraid of me getting into fights, but Dr. Zhao, aren’t your words terribly inconsiderate? I only have an elbow injury, my five fingers are fine! Even if you were taking my injury into consideration, shouldn’t you use the word “hold”? Why would you say “grip”? What the hell are you worried about me gripping?
I expressed that I had enough self-control and I don’t need a splint to help, but Dr. Zhao said to me in a tone of someone who has experienced it before:
“You don’t have to be shy. It’s normal for someone your age to be unable to control urges. It’s definitely beneficial to give you a splint.”
Next, he ignored my resistance and called in an obese nurse. The two of them worked together to handle my right arm.
The splints I saw in TV series were made of bamboo, but the one that was used on me, was a kind of yellow and hard plastic. Four plastic splints were placed around my arm and it completely secured my elbow.
Before the bandages, it was like the Gold Saints.
After the bandages, it was like the Mummy Returns.
The left arm of the mummy was finally hung with a bandage around my neck. I looked like a seriously wounded person when I looked in the mirror. It’s really making a fuss over a minor issue.
After finishing, Dr. Zhao placed his hands in the pocket of his white coat and looked at me up and down as if he was a sculptor admiring his own work.
“Okay, let’s leave it at that! Pay attention to rest for half a month, do suitable exercises, come here once every three days so the nurse can apply the topical medication for you...”
Xiao Qin asked: “Dr. Zhao, can you give me the medicine? I’ve helped my mother change the medicine before. This time it should be...”
“Alright!” Before I could even oppose, Dr. Zhao agreed. He turned to the nurse and spoke to her, then the nurse packed up a bag of Chinese medicine and handed it over to Xiao Qin.
“Doctor! Dr. Zhao!” I frowned. “You’re too irresponsible! How can you let Xiao Qin, a non-professional, help me change the medication. What happens if she does not properly treat it and my condition worsens?”
Dr. Zhao pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose:
“Young man, don’t look at people with one light. The Ren family has suffered so many injuries that they may as well become doctors! Xiao Qin’s skill is absolutely at least half of that of a nurse!”
Ok, only half a nurse and you let them treat people. Compared with your big brother who is a veterinarian, you are really not afraid of causing death!
During our discussion, a noisy family arrived in the lobby of the Hospital. It seemed that an elderly lady sprained her waist during a folk dance song.
The old lady’s son eagerly asked Dr. Zhao: “Is my mom in trouble! Doctor, you have to help my mother!”
Dr. Zhao said slowly: “It’s nothing, it’s normal for the elderly to injure their bones. Let’s take a x-ray first...”
It’s normal my ass! Both you and your brother likes to say the same things. You’ll probably say it’s normal even when Xiao Qin turns me into a cripple!
Contrary to expectations, Dr. Zhao did not charge me for medical treatment. According to the fat nurse of the Hospital, Dr. Zhao’s family and Xiao Qin’s were very familiar with each other. They often gather to eat together. All the patients brought by the Ren family, could be treated for free.
After criticizing Dr. Zhao for so long, and suddenly learning that I don’t need to pay. I felt a little embarrassed.
After coming out of the hospital, Uncle Zhang, Xing Xing’s driver, was still waiting for us even though we told him he could leave first.
Uncle Zhang asked me about my injury, and then drove me and Xiao Qin home.
On the way home, Xiao Qin asked me what to do with the medicine. Whether we should keep it at at her house or mines. If it was kept at my house, she would come every three days to help me change the medicine.
I thought about it carefully, but I still can’t let my old man see Xiao Qin, so I asked her to take the medicine back to her home. Then, on the day it’s time to change medication, she should take some to the school and change it at school.
Xiao Qin listened to me and had no objections.
After returning home at night, my father was not home, there was a note left on the table telling me to order food.
I felt a bit lonely. Suddenly, I wanted to ask if Xing Xing’s group had any serious injuries, so I called Xing Xing.
Xing Xing responded faster than I expected.
“Big Brother Ye, are you home? How’s your arm? Periosteal damage? It’s not serious? That’s great!”
I also asked about their injuries. Xing Xing told me that when everyone knew they weren’t a match, they laid on the ground pretending to be dead, so they weren’t that injured.
Although they were foolish, but they were injured because of Xiao Qin and me. I felt apologetic, so I asked the total cost of for their medical treatments.
“Xing Xing, I know that you guys don’t lack money, but that’s a different matter...”
I haven’t finished my sentence yet, and Xing Xing said no can do.
“Big Brother Ye, if you’re mentioning money then you’re looking down on us! We have a close relationship, don’t mention money! Besides... we took a beating because we were blind, we deserved it!”
That’s also true, these noobs who just came out of the novice village, picked a fight with boss XIao Qin, it would be strange if they didn’t get beat.
Xing Xing was silent for a while on the phone, then he said to me in a quiet voice:
“Big Brother Ye, there’s something I have to say but I’m not sure if I should as your younger brother...”
“Eh? Aren’t we in a close relationship? What do you have to say?”
“Then, let me just say it straight out... Big Brother Ye, you’re just courting death this time!”
Huh? I never said you guys were looking for death, why did you guys say I was courting death? Did Xiao Qin damage your heads?
“Big Brother Ye, I have something I want to get off my chest —— your wife is so powerful, yet you’re still having an affair!!”
