Chapter 434 There is no distinction of gender in the face of life.
Du Niangzi's words shocked not only Lu Yangyang, but also the onlookers gathered at the door.
The reason they followed Lady Du was to see if there really was such a miraculous medical skill in the world. Such a long wound could be sewn up like sewing clothes. This was unheard of before!
What shocked them even more was that, according to the time the female doctor had given them, Madam Du was actually not dead. Not only was she not dead, but she was also fine and came to have her stitches removed. If they hadn't seen Madam Du's injuries with their own eyes, they would have thought it was fake!
However, although they were very curious, they didn't dare to actually ask to see how the stitches were removed. Therefore, they really didn't expect that Madam Du would make such a sacrifice and make such a request!
Some couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected that Lady Du, a mere woman, would possess such courage and spirit; she is truly admirable!"
The others chimed in, "Female doctor, please remove the stitches from this Lady Du. If your medical skills are truly so miraculous, we will all stand up for Lady Du and ensure that no one tarnishes her reputation!"
"Yes, this Lady Du is grateful and worthy of respect. She came to repay a debt of gratitude, and we will certainly clear her name!"
Lady Du was just an ordinary woman from the streets. A woman's reputation is of utmost importance, especially since she was now a widow with a child, which made things even more difficult. Yet, she was willing to risk her reputation to repay a debt of gratitude. She was truly a kind and virtuous person with a broad mind and a strong sense of justice. How could we allow her to ruin her reputation because of such a person?
Lu Yangyang never expected that she would repay her for simply saving her out of compassion, when in this world where reputation is everything.
Lu Yangyang was not a coy person, and it was her good fortune to have gained such trust and reward. She didn't care about other people's doubts, but she understood the significance of Du Niangzi's actions. The step she took was precisely what she cherished most in her own life.
The world refused to save her life because of her reputation, but she insisted on using it as proof of how precious life is.
Lu Yangyang nodded at Du Niangzi's unwavering gaze: "Okay."
A smile immediately appeared on Madam Du's face.
Lu Yangyang asked her to sit down, took out her tools, and washed her hands. Then she had Du Niangzi lift the hem of her outer garment and use scissors to cut open the inner garment covering the wound, revealing the piece of cloth covering the wound.
She used tweezers to remove the cloth, carefully cleaned the wound again, and quickly removed the stitches. The wound had healed, but there were still scabs on the surface. Lu Yangyang gave her some instructions and a box of ointment to help the wound heal, telling her to apply it regularly.
Lady Du gratefully accepted the ointment, and as Lu Yangyang was about to apply it for her, she said softly, "Please wait a moment."
After saying this, she stood up, revealing the healed wound, walked to the door, and said to the onlookers, "I want everyone to know that my wound has truly healed. Although it may leave a scar, I did not die because of it. Miss Lu is a divine physician descended to earth. Using her divine skills to save lives is no frivolous act. I would like to trouble you all to tell the doctor who refused to treat me that day that there are always people more capable than you in this world, and there is always something beyond your understanding. I was fortunate to meet a divine physician, and my life was not meant to end. I also hope that in the future, people who have had similar experiences to me will also be lucky enough to be saved."
"Well said!" The onlookers clapped and shouted excitedly.
Everyone bowed in respect. At this moment, no one questioned the woman's reputation anymore; only genuine praise remained.
They all praised Lu Yangyang's medical skills, saying they were truly miraculous.
Only then did Madam Du turn around and walk back to Lu Yangyang, asking her to help her re-bandage her wound. After straightening her clothes, she once again respectfully bowed to Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang also bowed slightly in return.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Yangyang turned to face the crowd and said loudly, "Now that everyone has seen it, as I just said, please tell more people about this method. It is not some kind of magical skill, but just a common method for treating external injuries. However, you must pay attention to how you use it and not use it indiscriminately, so as not to cause death. Our pharmacy will compile a booklet on the treatment of simple external injuries. All doctors are welcome to come and exchange and learn."
At that moment, a voice from the crowd watching outside the door asked, "Are all doctors available?"
“What’s wrong with doctors who save lives and heal the wounded?” Lu Yangyang replied.
The person who spoke took off the bamboo hat he was wearing, revealing himself to be the old doctor who had argued with Lu Yangyang that day and accused her of acting recklessly.
The old doctor's face was flushed, but as if he had made up his mind, he took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "I am a doctor from Rong'an Hall, surnamed Fang. I was blind and misunderstood you, young lady. I have come to apologize to you and would like to ask you to teach me."
Lu Yangyang really didn't expect that the old doctor who almost argued with her to the point of cross-eyedness that day would also come here.
She was surprised for a moment, then immediately cupped her hands and said, "Dr. Fang, you are too kind. You should apologize to this Madam Du, not me. There should be no distinction between genders when it comes to life. I think this is the basic principle we doctors should uphold. We don't seek to save everyone, but only to have a clear conscience."
Lu Yangyang could understand the doctors' concerns. Sometimes it wasn't that they were unwilling to save people, but rather that the world was always too harsh on this, especially when it came to physical injuries. Whether it was a doctor or an injured woman, they were afraid of falling into an unclear situation, which gradually led to both doctors and the injured person being very reluctant to talk about it.
But how unfair is that to those who want to live?
It is cruel that a wound that could be healed is denied treatment because of the excuse of not wanting to ruin someone's reputation, thus depriving them of the chance to live.
Doctor Fang stared at Lu Yangyang in shock. After a moment, he turned around and bowed solemnly to Madam Du. "I was narrow-minded and almost caused your death. I hope you will forgive me. Just now, the female doctor's words reminded me that I have lived so many years but forgot that as a doctor, I should prioritize life. I have learned my lesson."
His use of "Madam" was a complete affirmation of Lu Yangyang's medical skills.
Lady Du hurriedly bowed in return, saying, "It is a fortunate thing for me to have such an extraordinary encounter. I also wish Doctor Fang to learn the good remedy so that he can help more people in need in the future."
Everyone applauded.
No one expected that a small incident at the dock that day, where someone was rescued, would lead to such an unexpected ending. But from that day on, a trend of learning how to treat external injuries swept through Yingzhou City.
