Chapter 11 by Lorelei Thunder
“Ms. Cartwright, you seem like an educated and refined lady. So, how could you make such a foolish decision?
“You shouldn’t trust the words of a quack doctor just because you’re feeling desperate. You’ll regret it deeply once you realize you’ve been fooled! Most importantly, we can’t afford to delay the patient’s treatment anymore.”
Helen hurriedly replied, “Mr. Henderson is not a swindler!”
Kevin snorted, “How could traditional medicine ever compare to modern medicine?
“Some of those doctors even use stories of spirits and gods to trick the patient and their family members. Those people are completely unethical! They are swindlers, of course!”
“Mr. Henderson, please don’t mind those remarks.” Helen looked at Woody apologetically.
Kevin furrowed his brows.
Although Woody had a charismatic air about him, it didn’t change the fact that he was too young to be an experienced doctor.
Doctors would normally have to undergo an extended period of practical training to learn and absorb all the knowledge. Therefore, experts and specialists were mostly people well above their 30s.
The man before Kevin was clearly in his 20s. He probably had yet to graduate from medical school. Kevin surmised that Woody was most likely still an intern.
He was certain that Woody was a swindler. Kevin might have been more convinced if it were someone who fitted the typical image of a qualified doctor.
Kevin believed that Helen had made this silly mistake out of desperation.
As a reputable figure in the medical field, Kevin couldn’t just watch and allow something like that to happen. He had to point out and warn everyone about the swindler.
“Young man, which medical school did you graduate from? Can you tell us about your academic background? Who was your mentor?” Kevin asked aggressively.
Woody answered calmly, “I’ve not attended any medical schools, so I can’t share much about my academic background. Also, I don’t have much to share about my mentor since he prefers to stay anonymous.”
Woody was telling the truth. He only knew that his mentor was an elderly man equipped with great skills and knowledge.
Everyone addressed Woody’s mentor as Mr. Snider.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
It sounded similar to his other name, Mr. Snyder.
Woody was fortunate enough to become Mr. Snider’s student after he was put in prison. In addition, Woody showed considerable talent for practicing traditional medicine. He used only a year to master all of his mentor’s skills and techniques.
Soon afterward, Mr. Snider handed over the authority to manage Lazarus to Woody and went into hiding.
Since then, Woody had tried asking around for news about his mentor multiple times but to no avail.
Kevin smiled contemptuously. “Open your eyes and look around you. The interns working at a world-class hospital like the Tiusto Hospital must at least hold a PhD.
“He’s not a swindler? He’s absolutely shameless! How dare he come to our hospital and make up all these lies!”
Dwayne pointed at the door. “Get him out of here! He’s a complete nuisance.”
Helen quickly stepped in. “Everyone, I’m sure there’s some sort of misunderstanding here. Please do me a favor. Since there are so many experts present today, let’s make my father’s treatment our top priority.”
Kevin sent Woody a sidelong glance. “I don’t mind having the swindler watch us work. I would have done a good thing if he were to realize his mistakes and repent through this experience.”
Then, Kevin said confidently, “Firstly, we need to confirm where the poison has ended up in his system. I think the poison is in his bones. That’s why it doesn’t show up in the test reports.
“The only option left is to conduct a bone marrow biopsy to find the cause.”
Dwayne and the other medical professionals nodded in agreement.
None of them dared question Kevin’s judgment since he was deemed an expert in their field.
“There are more than 200 pieces of bones in the human body. How do you pick which bone to do a biopsy on?” Woody asked.
