On the other side, in the meeting room, a heated argument was taking place!
Elder Qin firmly stated that Du Zhong must be given a chance to try, while a large portion of the hospital leadership held opposing views.
These opposing opinions all told Elder Qin that this matter was closely related to the hospital's reputation and could not be easily let go, risking so much to let a security guard do it!
Even if a trial was to be conducted, it could not be done in the hospital, and if it were to be done outside, Du Zhong would have to be fired. After all, Du Zhong was the head of the hospital's security team, and if anything went wrong, it would reflect badly on the hospital.
These two points directly enraged Elder Qin.
Amidst the argument, a phone call suddenly rang out for a hospital leader surnamed Wu.
After answering the call, the leader surnamed Wu, who had not expressed an opinion before, spoke up, supporting Elder Qin's proposal because he believed that Elder Qin, as an authority in the hospital, would not make a wrong choice.
With the support of a senior leader, the outcome was finally decided!
Du Zhong would be allowed to try!
When all the leaders left the meeting room, the leader surnamed Wu sighed softly and muttered, "Haihua, this time I've staked the hospital's reputation on you..."
Half an hour later, Du Zhong received the final decision.
The hospital allowed Du Zhong to try, but if anything went wrong during the treatment, the hospital would not be held responsible. They also sought the parents' consent and had them sign the agreement.
When all the leaders gathered in the ward, Du Zhong's treatment began.
Epilepsy is a chronic, recurrent disorder characterized by brief episodes of brain dysfunction, primarily due to abnormal discharges of brain neurons. It is one of the common neurological disorders.
In other words, to treat epilepsy, one must target the brain neurons.
Among the energy hand seals of ancient medical techniques, there is one specifically for the nervous system.
To treat the child, Du Zhong had to use that energy hand seal!
Although there were many onlookers, Du Zhong was not afraid of being discovered, because the energy hand seal he was about to use was similar to acupressure, and ordinary people could not distinguish it.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Du Zhong walked to the bedside, took a deep breath, and then narrowed his eyes, a glint of determination flashing in them. His hands moved quickly.
He spread his right palm, with his thumb standing straight and his middle finger slightly pressing forward, lightly touching the child's right temple.
Immediately, his left palm's thumb bent, his index finger pressed down, his ring finger curled backward, and his little finger hooked around his thumb, pressing it toward the middle finger, which also touched the child's left temple.
This hand seal could make a person regain consciousness and had a very strong cleansing effect on the brain's neurons. It could eliminate the abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, thus restoring normal function.
The strongest aspect of this hand seal was its ability to stimulate the brain's neurons, making the brain more active!
While it might not turn a fool into a genius, it could at least make an ordinary person a bit smarter.
Of course, just a little bit.
This was recorded in the ancient medical techniques.
With both hands pressing the child's temples, Du Zhong immediately felt the air around him seem to flow, like a cool breeze brushing past him, entering his body and surging into the child's brain through his arms, like a galloping herd of horses.
Although he felt extremely refreshed and cool, a layer of sweat still involuntarily appeared on his forehead!
Du Zhong smiled bitterly in his heart!
This somewhat miraculous hand seal required more mental energy than other hand seals!
Fortunately, he had rested well recently; otherwise, he might have collapsed halfway through the treatment.
Inside the room, everyone looked at Du Zhong with confusion.
Since pressing his fingers on the child's temples like acupressure, Du Zhong had not made any other movements. Some who had initially believed in Du Zhong now wore a skeptical look.
"Is that all it takes to cure the child?"
"It seems this security guard is indeed a quack, just as that doctor said!"
"But, such a simple action, why is he sweating so much? Look, his clothes are drenched!"
"Yeah, he's so strong, and it's so cool in here..."
Whispers began to spread throughout the room.
"Don't talk, it will affect the child's treatment!"
Elder Qin cast a stern glance at everyone, then turned to look at Du Zhong, a glint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
Under Elder Qin's authority, the murmurs inside and outside the ward ceased!
However, just a few minutes after the room quieted down, a loud sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
"Police, step aside!"
A young man in a police uniform walked over!
Seeing this, the old dean and Elder Qin hurriedly went forward to intercept the police at the ward door.
"Is there something wrong?"
The old dean asked.
"Someone reported that there is illegal medical practice and attempted murder here. Please do not obstruct me from enforcing the law!"
The police officer said sternly.
Hearing this, the old dean glanced at Elder Qin, then looked at Du Zhong, who was still motionless but drenched in sweat.
"Please do not obstruct me from enforcing the law!"
The police officer repeated.
The old dean and Elder Qin reluctantly stepped aside, making way for the police.
Three police officers entered the ward and walked directly toward Du Zhong.
"Are you Du Zhong, the head of the hospital's security team?"
The police officer stood next to Du Zhong without interrupting his actions and asked directly.
"Yes, it's me!"
Du Zhong said, not daring to move.
"Someone reported you for illegal medical practice. Please come with us!" the police officer said sternly.
"Sure!"
Du Zhong nodded and calmly added, "I'm in the middle of treating the child. Can you let me finish? I'll go with you afterward."
"This is a life. I hope you, as a police officer, can make a careful decision. Moreover, I have the parents' consent for the treatment."
As soon as the police officer finished speaking, Du Zhong analyzed how to handle the situation and remained calm.
"This..."
The police officer hesitated for a moment.
"Don't worry, just stay here and watch. I won't run away!"
Du Zhong smiled and added, "Besides, if I fail to save the child, you can witness it firsthand!"
"That's right, please be lenient!"
Elder Qin walked over.
"He's a good person and won't run away!"
Gu Muer also stepped forward, finding some tissues from somewhere and wiping the sweat from Du Zhong's forehead.
After much thought, the three police officers nodded one after another!
Their purpose was to serve the people, and Du Zhong was currently treating a child. If they forcibly took Du Zhong away, causing the child to have problems, they would also be held accountable.
Moreover, in this situation, no one could say whether they were obstructing the treatment or if Du Zhong couldn't cure the child at all.
If Du Zhong turned the tables, they would have no response.
Hidden in the crowd, Wu Haihua's face darkened when he saw Gu Muer wiping Du Zhong's sweat!
However, thinking about how Du Zhong would be locked up after the treatment, a satisfied smile appeared on Wu Haihua's lips.
After a long time, Du Zhong, who had been motionless, suddenly opened his eyes wide!
His hands trembled and slowly retracted.
It worked!
With a weak smile, Du Zhong turned around, looking extremely exhausted.
"Let's go!"
He extended his hands to the three police officers waiting by his side, smiled, and walked away.
"Is it done, but why is the child showing no reaction?"
"Is this guy a fraud? Did he choose to surrender because he couldn't bear the police pressure?"
The room, including the hallway, erupted in noise.
Amidst the noise, the three-year-old boy, who had been lying motionless on the bed, suddenly twitched. Just as everyone thought the epilepsy was about to发作 again, the child suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
Seeing his parents, the child immediately smiled and got out of bed, playing lively around them.
Everyone was shocked!
The child, who had just fallen into a deep sleep due to epilepsy, was now awake!
Moreover, his complexion was much better, and he looked lively and healthy, not at all like a sick child.
How could he possibly die within 24 hours!
He did it!
He really did it!
When everyone turned around, the pale and exhausted security captain had already been taken away by the police car with its siren blaring...
As soon as he got into the police car, Du Zhong closed his eyes and rested.
On the other side, after solving the child's condition, the hospital leaders were smiling and talking to the child's family, giving media interviews, seemingly forgetting that all the credit belonged to Du Zhong.
Only Elder Qin and Gu Muer frowned deeply, worried about Du Zhong.
"Elder Qin, what should we do?"
Gu Muer asked.
"There's nothing we can do!"
Elder Qin shook his head and sighed, "Du Zhong doesn't have a medical license. Even if I beg the dean to give him one as an exception, it won't change the fact that he practiced medicine illegally in front of the police!"
"Does the hospital really have no way out?"
Gu Muer suddenly felt a surge of resentment. Du Zhong had acted to save the hospital's reputation, and now that the child was saved, the hospital didn't even care about Du Zhong's life. How could Gu Muer bear to see this?
If Du Zhong was found guilty of illegal medical practice, he could face at least three years in prison.
Elder Qin frowned and shook his head, "I'll think of a way."
Gu Muer turned around and looked at the leaders who were smiling and giving media interviews, a look of anger on her face.
"Fine, if the hospital won't help, I will!"
Gu Muer stomped her foot, turned around angrily, and walked out of the hospital building, making a phone call.
...
The police car stopped at the police station shortly.
A few minutes of rest had slightly restored Du Zhong's energy, and he no longer felt as exhausted as before.
