Chapter 112: Patients
'Sigh, another day of no treatment,' the man started worrying. 'Should I just go back and come tomorrow?' he wondered as he looked at the many people that were already gathered there.
Suddenly, he saw someone.
"Huh? Oi you," he called out. The other man looked back and said in surprise, "Oh hey brother, what are you doing here? Didn't you get treated yesterday?"
"No. I was a little late yesterday. What about you? Didn't you say you were already treated?" the man asked.
"Oh yeah. I just brought my wife for the massage and thought I would get one too at the same time," the other man said.
"What? You are here for the massage and not the treatment?" the man asked.
"The massage is the treatment too. However, even if it wasn't, I would come here every day just to get massaged. Ahh, honestly, that was the best 5 minutes of bliss I have ever felt," the other man said.
The man looked in shock and was about to ask something when the other man suddenly turned to the side. "Oh, Doctor Ning is here," he said and walked up to a woman before following Ning to his room.
The man stood there dumbfounded at what had just happened. He waited in line for about 10 minutes after which the two couples finally came out of the room, both with smiles as big as their own face.
'What the hell? Is it really that good?' he wondered. He turned to the side and looked at the long line of people for doctor Rosor and thought, "F*ck it, here goes nothing,' and limped to Ning's room.
Ning was surprised to see the same man from yesterday come back once again, but he wasn't going to complain about it. He simply massaged them as requested and took the 2 five-points coupons with him.
'Sigh, will others come to— ' Suddenly, the door opened and a man limped inside.
"Hello, Doctor Ning. May I come in?" he asked.
"Yes, please come in. What can I help you with?" Ning asked.
"Um... you see, my right leg has been hurting for a while and I heard that you could heal it through massage. Is that true?" he asked.
"I will have to check if the problem lies in your body. If it does, then I can certainly help you," Ning said. Then, he started checking the place where it hurt the most and figured out that it had something to do with a trapped nerve on the man's back.
Massage would be useful here. "Please, lay on the bed," he said and prepared. The man laid down without taking his clothes, but Ning could easily handle that.
Once everything was ready, he used the 10 Fingers Heavenly Massage technique to thoroughly massage the man's body for 5 minutes. He started from the neck and shoulders are and went all the way up to the heels.
Finally, after 5 minutes, he stopped.
"Hmm... What's wrong doctor?" the man asked. He was unable to tell the passing of time and could only come out of what he would call absolute bliss after it had stopped.
"Oh, the treatment is done. You can get up now," Ning said.
"Oh," the man said in disappointment and got off the bed. He landed on his good foot and slowly stepped with his hurting one. At first, he thought his mind was playing games when the pain didn't suddenly flare-up. But slowly, he realized that he was actually healed.
"I... My pain is gone. Ha... haha... My pain is gone, doctor. My leg is fine. Thank you doctor Ning," the man started to cry after seeing that he could no longer feel the pain anymore.
"It's okay. You are healed now. Please rate me on your coupon and you can leave," Ning said. The man furiously nodded and gave him a 5 point on the coupon. Ning was happy.
"Please tell the others about me if you can, thank you," Ning said and saw the man out. He then returned back to his seat and sighed. "I got 3 today. That's 2 more than yesterday," he thought.
He waited for a while and nobody came, so he decided to just cultivate for the day when suddenly,
KNOCK KNOCK
There was someone at the door. Ning looked and saw a young man at the door and called him in. "What can I help you with?" he asked.
"Umm... I heard you can treat back pain and leg pain very fast, is that true?" the young man asked.
"If the problem is physical then yes," Ning said.
"Oh, my back has been hurting for quite a while, can you check it?" the person asked.
"Sure," Ning said and got to work. After 5 minutes, the man stood up with no more back pain. He happily gave 5 points on the coupon and left.
Ning was happy and decided to wait for more when another person came in. 'That was fast. Was he waiting for someone to leave?' Ning wondered but didn't say anything.
He quickly called the person in and started treating them as well. The man's arm was in pain which he quickly fixed. Afterward, he took the 5 points coupon and let the man leave.
As soon as the man left, another man came in.
'What the? am I popular now?' Ning wondered. He quickly welcomed the incoming patient and started healing them.
Once one left, another returned. During the entire day, nearly a hundred people came by the time he was done for the day.
So, he walked out of the door to see hundreds of people in line. They all got disappointed when they saw him leave.
'Woah, so many,' Ning was surprised to see the hoard of people line up to enter his room.
"Um... I will be here tomorrow morning. Please come back at that time," Ning said and said his goodbyes before leaving. He was done for the day.
