Qiu Lingshan followed Wei Zhao toward the hospital as well. She wanted to check on Liu Bojia's condition and ask the doctor whether there was still any hope of him waking up.
The ** on guard outside Liu Bojia's ward all rose to their feet and saluted when they saw Qiu Lingshan arrive. "Captain Song!"
Qiu Lingshan waved a hand. "Is the doctor here?"
"The doctor is in the office. Shall I take you there, Captain Song?" one of the ** said.
Qiu Lingshan nodded and followed the ** to the doctor's office, where the ** introduced her. "This is Dr. Yang, Liu Bojia's attending physician."
"Hello, Dr. Yang. I'm Qiu Lingshan." Qiu Lingshan politely extended her hand and shook hands with Dr. Yang, then asked, "Dr. Yang, how is Liu Bojia doing? Is there any chance he'll wake up?"
"I've done everything I can, but there's still been no improvement..." Dr. Yang smiled apologetically. "Captain Song, there's nothing more I can do. For now, all we can do is keep him alive..."
"So you're saying there's no hope of recovery at our hospital?" Qiu Lingshan looked at Dr. Yang with some disappointment. "If we transferred him, would there be any hope then?"
"Our First People's Hospital is the best hospital in Songshan City. A transfer would mean sending him to a hospital out of town, but I'm afraid the patient couldn't withstand the strain..." Dr. Yang shook his head.
"Then there really is no hope at all?" Qiu Lingshan sighed inwardly. If this Liu Bojia had spoken up about what was really going on sooner, would the culprit behind it all have been caught long ago? And then maybe that maniac killer wouldn't have come after him again...
"It's not that there's no hope..." Dr. Yang hesitated a moment, then said, "If you know Professor Guan Xuewen from the Medical University, you could try acupuncture... But Professor Guan doesn't take on cases lightly..."
"Professor Guan!" Qiu Lingshan had naturally heard the name too. He was a renowned doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Songshan City, known to all as Dr. Guan. Yang Huaijun was on close personal terms with him and had been receiving treatment at his hands all along!
With anyone else, Qiu Lingshan really wouldn't have known what to say, but as for Professor Guan, she believed that with Yang Huaijun's help, she could certainly persuade him to take the case.
At that thought, Qiu Lingshan felt a wave of relief. "Thank you, Dr. Yang. I think I have a way!"
"Ha ha, it's nothing. I'm only doing what I can!" Dr. Yang nodded with a smile.
After leaving Dr. Yang's office, Qiu Lingshan dialed Yang Huaijun's number.
"Little Song, in a bit of a bind again?" Yang Huaijun answered the phone with a smile. He had been in good spirits lately. Not only had he been promoted, but more importantly, the number of times his internal injuries flared up had dropped markedly, from once a day before to not a single episode in the past half month!
And this was only the first stage of treatment, yet the effects were already so pronounced. Wei Zhao had said that after a month he would change the medication and add acupuncture as a supplement, so how earth-shaking would the results be then? Yang Huaijun could hardly wait!
"Brother Yang..." Qiu Lingshan felt a little embarrassed. Yang Huaijun had seen right through her, and she was instantly flustered. "There is indeed something I'd like to ask of you..."
"Go on, what is it?" Yang Huaijun had always treated Qiu Lingshan like his own little sister, and so he looked after her with particular care.
"You know about Liu Bojia's situation, don't you?" Qiu Lingshan said. "I asked the doctors today, and they said there's nothing more they can do, but they recommended someone to me and said I could give it a try."
