Chapter 199
Graham and Hector were extremely nervous when they heard the patient scream. They wanted to speak, but they were afraid of disturbing Annalise’s concentration. If something happened to Annalise because they disturbed her, wouldn’t she blame them?
They tried to hold their breath and not speak. Annalise climbed onto the bed and pressed her leg against the patient’s waist. She then grabbed the patient’s leg with both hands and pulled it backward. “Ah… It hurts so much. Oh, god…” The patient shouted and gasped in pain.
Annalise turned around again and pressed her other leg on the patient’s waist. She wrapped around his shoulder with one arm, and with the other, she pulled on his arm. She pulled him back hard.
“Oh, God. Please… It hurts so much…” The patient was in such pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. “Graham, do me a favor,” Annalise said. “Okay. What can I do?” Graham asked. When Annalise pulled backward twice, his heart almost stopped with fear. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
However, he felt that what Annalise was doing could work. He noticed that the patient only felt pain and did not give any impression of fainting. “Hector, I need your help, too,” Annalise glanced at the patient and said to Hector. Hector immediately went over. Annalise asked Graham and Hector to stand on both sides of the bed. Each of them would press down on one of the patient’s shoulders.
“Get in position. In a while, when I give you the signal, press harder,” Annalise said. “You must press hard.” “Isn’t this… too harsh? Will he be alright?” Graham was a little worried about this method. “Listen to me. Nothing will happen,” Annalise said. “Alright… Alright.” Graham was still a little flustered.
Annalise leaned forward and said to the patient, “Sir, short-term pain is better than long-term pain. Believe me. I can treat you. It’s just that the current treatment process will be a little painful because all the bones in your body are deformed. Now we want to put your bones back in the right position. The process is going to be painful. Bear with it. It won’t hurt anymore once your bones are straightened.” “Alright… I’ll bear with it. Ouch… It hurts so much.” The patient cried out again.
However, his cries were much louder than when he started the treatment. Graham and Hector looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. Annalise hugged the patient’s head with both hands. As she raised his head, she said to Graham and Hector, “Press!”
The two traditional medicine practitioners immediately pressed down on the patient’s shoulders. “Ah… I’m dizzy. I’m going to throw up. I’m going to…” The patient groaned in pain. Annalise gently put the patient’s head back and said, “Sir, hold on a little longer.”
She gently raised the old man’s head again and shouted, “Press!” Quickly, the two old traditional medicine practitioners pressed down on the patient’s shoulders again. The patient shouted that he was dizzy again. “Dizzy… I’m dizzy. I’m going to throw up…” The patient began to retch.
‘Sir, hang in there. Just one more time will do. Just imagine how wonderful it was when you had none of this pain.” Annalise said as she gently lifted the patient’s head. This time, she did not ask Graham and Hector to press again.
She held the patient’s forehead with one hand and pressed her thumb against the acupoint at the back of the patient’s head with the other. She pressed down and slowly traced over his meridians. “Oh…” The patient heaved a comfortable sigh. Annalise held the patient’s forehead and repeatedly pressed on several acupoints.
However, this was not an acupuncture technique. Instead, she was using the force of her hand to adjust the patient’s bone and press the protruding discs back into place. In such situations, the technique was most important. Annalise was thankful that she had learned boxing. Otherwise, she would not have had the strength. After pushing more than ten times, the patient stopped grunting.
Annalise was so tired that she was sweating profusely. Carefully, she lowered the patient’s head and got up from the bed. She asked someone to turn the patient over slowly and lay him flat.
After the patient lay on his back, he moaned again in pain. “Miss, why do I feel like my legs are even more swollen than before? They are sore and swollen, and so is my waist. Also, I feel dizzy.”
“Sir, this is normal. Please relax,” Annalise said
She pulled a chair and sat at the top of the bed. She placed her hands on the patient’s shoulders and began to push the patient’s neck. She said, “With your condition, you must undergo corrective treatments. After it’s corrected, you will get better day by day.”
“Oh, my. Be gentle. It hurts. It hurts… Ah…” The patient cried out as Annalise pushed his neck. When Annalise pushed the patient’s shoulder, she knew the condition would persist for a while. He would not recover anytime soon. Bone-setting was a procedure that had to be repeated, after all.
This was because the disc protrusion could not be corrected all at once. It had to be repeated. Using this technique, she probably had to reset the bone three to five times. After the bones are in place, she would follow up with an acupuncture treatment, and the patient should recover.
At the very least, after she fixed the bone today, the patient could sit upright. After a few more adjustments, the patient should be able to stand She began to massage the patient’s temples and asked, “Sir, do you feel better after I massage your temples?”
“Yes, I feel better now,” the patient said. Suddenly, Annalise hugged the patient’s head with both hands and pulled hard. The sound of bones cracking could be heard. Graham and Hector were so frightened that their eyes widened. They were done for. She broke the patient’s neck.
The patient was also shocked. Then, he said in surprise, “You scared me. Huh. It doesn’t hurt as much as before.” Annalise looked at Graham and Hector’s expressions and glanced at them speechlessly. Seeing that the patient was fine, the two men were pleasantly surprised. “Did you set his bones? Haha. Not bad. Not bad at all.”
They had also performed a bone-setting procedure, but their methods were very gentle. They were not nearly as rough as Annalise. “Come. Please help him sit up.” Annalise said. “Sit up? But the patient can’t sit up,” Graham was in a difficult position.
The patient had been paralyzed for ten years. How could he sit up? “He can’t get up. So please hold him,” Annalise said helplessly. Of course, she knew that the patient could not sit up. That was why she needed their help to keep his back straight. Once he sat up, she would straighten the patient’s back.
The reason why the patient was paralyzed was that something was wrong with his entire spine. Not only did the cervical disc protrude, but the lumbar disc also protruded. There was something wrong with all the bones in his body. She had to correct them all.
“Alright.” Graham and Hector helped the patient up. The patient could not move at all. The moment they held him up, he cried out in pain. Annalise took over from Graham. She hugged the patient’s waist with both hands and twisted it forcefully.
“Oh, god. My poor waist…” The patient called out again. Whenever they heard the patient’s cry, Graham and Hector were terrified. They were afraid that Annalise would move his bones to the wrong place.
But at that moment, when they heard the patient’s cries, they found it pleasing to the ears. This was because they realized that every time the patient cried, he sounded as if the pain was less than before. Annalise turned to Hector’s side, hugged the patient’s waist again, and twisted hard…
