Chapter 671 The Guinea Pigs
“Abraham!”
After Abraham scolded John angrily, Keaton yelled at Abraham, “Don’t be rude to John!”
“Mr. Hutchinson, it’s this guy…”
“Shut up!”
Seeing Keaton getting angry, Abraham had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but it could be seen from his
resentful eyes that Abraham was obviously not convinced by John.
John didn’t even bother to talk to such an annoying person.
Keaton looked at John and said in a soft tone, John, you said that you have mastered twenty or thirty sets of
acupuncture therapy. Is it true?”
“Mr. Hutchinson, do you think I’m the kind of person who talks big?”
If they had just met, Keaton would have nodded without hesitation, but Keaton thought otherwise after several in-
depth exchanges with John.
However, was it too exaggerated that John had mastered twenty or thirty sets of acupuncture therapy?
It was just ordinary acupuncture but not so-called acupuncture therapy to pierce needles into several acupoints.
Real acupuncture therapy was not so easy to acquire.
Keaton also liked to look through ancient medical books. The only acupuncture therapy he found was Acupuncture
of Five Elements. Like other ancient medical acupuncture therapies, it had only its name written in the book without
any detail, so Keaton couldn’t learn it even if he wanted to.
John said that he had mastered twenty or thirty sets of acupuncture therapy. Even if Keaton changed his attitude
towards John, he still dared not believe it!
John smiled helplessly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohn knew that the sum was indeed too much for a common man like Keaton, so he did not mean to blame
Keaton for it.
He could prove himself by practicing some skills on the spot.
It happened that there were many patients in Misericordia Clinic. John selected one of them and planned to
practice a set of acupuncture therapy on the patient.
The patient suddenly showed doubts and said, “Are you Mr. Hutchinson’s new apprentice? Why haven’t I seen you
before?”
This patient was a frequent visitor to Misericordia Clinic.
Abraham sneered, “What? He is not an apprentice at Misericordia Clinic at all. He just wants to demonstrate
acupuncture therapy on you.”
Normally, it was inappropriate for a doctor to propose such a request.
It was the same as creating panic for patients when someone exposed his identity as an intern in a big hospital.
So as soon as Abraham said this, the patient immediately stood up and refused, “Are you kidding me? Aren’t you
taking me as a guinea pig? No, no, absolutely no!”
The patient’s face was almost black.
Keaton gave Abraham a hard look first and then calmed down. He patiently explained to the patient, “Don’t
underestimate Mr. Lopez. Even if he is young, his acupuncture therapy skills are very sophisticated. Don’t
worry.”
“Really? But I do not believe it.”
The patient looked at John suspiciously.
Keaton continued, “With me on guard, there will be absolutely no problems. I can assure you with my professional
ethics.”
The patient hesitated for a moment.
He looked at Keaton, then turned his gaze back to John, and said, “I trust Mr. Hutchinson very much. Since Keaton
has said so, I am willing to be a guinea pig!”
The patient thought for a while and then cautiously said to John, “When you pierce a needle, be careful and slow
down. It is best to ask Mr. Hutchinson for his opinion every time you pierce one.”
“No problem.”
John nodded with a smile. After he finished speaking, a dozen needles were pricked up, and the patient
hadn’t even noticed it.
“You, you, you… Didn’t I tell you to slow down? You didn’t puncture my blood vessel, did you?” said the patient
in wide-eyed horror.
John promised to pierce slowly, but as soon as he finished speaking, needles were pricked into the patient’s arm in
a row within seconds.
The patient was indeed scared.
John said, “I have slowed down. You don’t feel any discomfort now, do you?”
“No, no.”
Although the patient was worried, he did not feel any discomfort after sensing carefully, so he was relieved.
Moreover, Keaton didn’t say anything, so there should be nothing wrong.
Acupuncture therapy would take a while, so John found another patient and was going to perform another set of
acupuncture therapy on him.
The second patient readily agreed perhaps because he had seen how the first patient was treated and knew that
John was skillful. Otherwise, John would never have been able to perform the therapy so smoothly.
John performed the second set of acupuncture therapy, and his actions were still so fast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen the third and fourth patients were treated.
After watching the first two patients, they were much bolder. Without saying much, they were very willing to be
acupunctured by John.
In the end, John performed eight different sets of acupuncture therapy on each of the eight patients.
Although the apprentices of Misericordia Clinic didn’t recognize the acupuncture therapy performed by John, they
could all see that John located the acupoints very precisely and pierced the heedles so quickly.
None of them could reach such a sophisticated level.
Even their master, Keaton, may not be able to achieve it.
Abraham suppressed the shock in his heart, snorted, and said, “His skills are good, and the acupuncture points are
accurate, but whether it will work or not is uncertain!”
“Abraham, shut up!”
This time, both Keaton and the other apprentices of Misericordia Clinic Hall reprimanded Abraham. Anyone with
discerning eyes could see how superb John’s acupuncture therapy skills were.
Since his acupuncture therapy skills were so superb, how could they be ineffective?
Everyone knew that Abraham was just being stubborn.
As a result, the facts contradicted Abraham without accident. After the needles were removed, the eight patients all
miraculously found that their symptoms had greatly improved.
It was much more comfortable than any time they came to Misericordia Clinic.
The feelings of the patients could not be deceiving. When the eight patients praised the curative effect, Keaton
finally couldn’t help trembling and said, “John, how did you learn these acupuncture therapy skills?*
As long as one could fully understand one of the eight sets of acupuncture therapy, it was enough to become a
master of acupuncture. Unexpectedly, John had mastered so many sets of acupuncture therapy at such a
young age.
Twenty or thirty sets!
Keaton now believed it!
