Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

This big man was the only one in the apartment. Chen Zhao looked at the big man: "Excuse me, are you my patient?"

"Are you really a doctor?" The big man looked at Chen Zhao with some doubts.

"I don't look like that?"

"Do doctors bring so many pets?"

"Sorry, this is my personal habit. No matter where I go, I will take my children with me."

"I called Ford."

Ford asked again: "Are you a Chinese medicine practitioner?"

"Yes, I am proficient in Chinese medicine and Western medicine. If you have special needs, I can give you special treatment."

Ford picked up a towel and wiped the sweat on his body. While wiping the sweat, he said: "I am a sprinter. Half a month ago, I participated in a competition, but my leg was broken during the competition. I did rehabilitation. It’s just that the medical treatment I applied to the Athletics Federation has never been approved.”

Chen Zhao looked down and saw that Ford's left calf was wrapped in gauze and had obvious unnatural swelling.

"You know, I wouldn't even dare to use morphine for pain relief without approval from the Athletics Federation."

Chen Zhao nodded. As a doctor, he knew many things.

However, since the athlete suffered the injury on the field, it shouldn't be difficult to get approval for medical treatment, right?

"Recently, several well-known athletes in the United States have been found to be doping, so the Athletics Federation has suddenly become stricter on American athletes. When the club doctor diagnosed me, he said that I only had a minor fracture and did not need analgesia. drug."

Chen Zhao stepped forward: "Can you let me check your injuries?"

Ford nodded, Chen Zhao sat on the ground and carefully opened the gauze.

Ford's calf was swollen by at least one-third, and there was a lot of blood bruising at the injured area.

Chen Zhao pinched the injured part: "Will it hurt?"

"meeting."

"How long have you been injured and what kind of treatment have you received during this period?"

"It has been fifteen days. The club's team doctor has given me bone repositioning treatment and some blood-removing drugs. However, considering that I do not have special drug procedures, many drugs cannot be prescribed to me."

Chen Zhao frowned: "Do you have any grudge against the team doctor?"

Ford was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Zhao doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"

"You have a cracked calf bone. If it is not treated in time, even walking normally will become a problem, let alone continuing your career as an athlete. This is not a fracture. Your problem is more serious than you explained."

"What? Broken bones?" Ford was also startled: "Is it so serious?"

"Yes, what you are considering now is not the approval of drug treatment by the Athletics Federation, but to perform surgery as soon as possible to ensure that there will be no sequelae. And you have delayed it for half a month. In this half month, you You should do strenuous exercise regularly, right? Your current situation is not optimistic."

"Then...then what should I do?"

"Go to the hospital as soon as possible. I can't help you. I can only give you so much advice." Chen Zhao said.

"If I go to the hospital, how long will it take to get back on the field?"

"You need at least six months of rehabilitation."

"No, this is impossible. In one month, I will participate in the Star Invitational Tournament. Do you know how important this is to me? That is the Star Invitational Tournament. For an athlete like me, that may be my most glorious stage. I Can’t miss this game.”

Ford seemed a little excited. He grabbed Chen Zhao's shoulders tightly: "Help me."

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about your injuries. Go to the hospital. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to save your leg."

Chen Zhao sighed, knowing that Ford had obviously been tricked by the team doctor.

As a team doctor for a club, it is impossible for him to not be able to distinguish between fractures and fractures.

Going to the hospital for surgery was Ford's only option now.

"Man, if you want to continue your career as an athlete, go to the hospital."

"You...can you suppress my injuries?"

"Don't be ridiculous. You have a broken bone. There is no possibility of suppressing the injury. What you need is treatment and rehabilitation."

Chen Zhao left, and Ford was a very persistent sportsman. Chen Zhao didn't know whether he would follow his advice.

However, Chen Zhao still hoped that he would listen to his advice.

As an illegal doctor, Chen Zhao hopes to make money, the more the better.

But as a doctor, Chen Zhao at least has professional ethics and his own bottom line.

Chen Zhao hopes that each of his patients will receive correct treatment and good results.

If Ford hadn't been tricked by the team doctor, then he would have at least been able to receive timely treatment.

Originally, he did not need a rehabilitation period of half a year. It would take no more than a month at most before he could be active again.

But it was precisely because of the delay for half a month that his injury worsened.

Ford is not that kind of super sports star. He is not well-known. It may be that he has achieved good results in recent games, so he got the invitation to the Star Invitational Tournament.

For most track and field athletes, the Star Invitational Tournament is out of reach.

If you can achieve good results in the Star Invitational Tournament, not only will your international points ranking increase, you will even have the opportunity to participate in the Golden League, which is the highest stage for track and field athletes.

Every industry has its pros and cons, but most people only see the bright side.

Ford, for example, is a little famous among track and field athletes, but there is a big gap between him and those sports stars.

Chen Zhao did not go home, but went to Ethan's place.

"How about that patient's problem?"

"No." Chen Zhao shook his head: "He needs to go to the hospital."

"You can't even solve it? His problem is serious?"

"No, he was just tricked and the treatment was delayed."

"So, you haven't earned a penny for me, so why are you here to eat lunch again?"

"Don't be so exaggerated. I haven't earned a penny, and I even subsidized the fare. If you don't give me lunch, then you will reimburse me for the fare."

At this moment, Ethan's phone rang. Ethan answered it for less than twenty seconds and put down the phone.

"Chen, it seems you have no chance to have lunch. Do you remember your first customer?"

"Remember, that super troublesome patient."

"Yes, he needs help."

"What about the price?"

"Three thousand dollars."

"I'll go over after lunch."

"No, he is very anxious."

"Okay, pack me a burger."

"one dollar."

"If you deny my request, then I deny this patient, and you're six hundred dollars short."

"You stingy bastard."
