Chapter 46 A Quack

Symptoms exhibited by those suffering from that condition include a weak pulse, a coated tongue, a strong urge to put on more clothes despite a high b*dy temperature, and not drinking much fluid despite being thirsty.

Although the little girl exhibited all of the above–mentioned symptoms, it was such a rare condition that Lincoln misdiagnosed her due to his carelessness.

However, Lincoln refused to admit that Emrys was right. “Nonsense! I don’t even know what you’re talking about!”

The crowd was starting to believe Emrys‘ statement because of how convincing he sounded, but hearing Lincoln deny it made them doubt him again.

Even Dr. Faraday has never heard of such a condition, so it must be nonsense!

The look on Emrys‘ face grew cold, and he shook his head in disappointment. “A quack, huh? You truly are an embarrassment to the medical industry!”

I would’ve forgiven Lincoln if he realize his mistake and admit to it. After all, the medical industry is built upon continuously gaining knowledge and experience. Everyb*dy makes mistakes. What’s important is to learn from those mistakes and improve ourselves. Lincoln, however, refuses to admit to his mistake even though he’s clearly in the wrong. Therefore, he is not worthy of being a doctor!

Lincoln got all worked up when he heard what Emrys said. “Who are you calling a quack?”

“I’m calling you a quack!” Emrys replied.

“I dare you to say that again!”

“You’re a quack!”

Lincoln was so mad that he almost got into a fight with Emrys on the spot but chickened out when he felt Emrys‘ intimidating aura

Not wanting to waste any more time on him, Emrys turned around and told the woman, “Ma’am, you really mustn’t feed your daughter this White Tiger Decoction. I’ll prescribe her another medicine.”

“I said it’s fine for her to take it!” Lincoln shouted.

Those words had barely left his mouth when a loud smacking noise echoed throughout the area.

“Shut the f*ck up!” Emrys yelled angrily as he sent Lincoln flying with a powerful slap.

I can’t believe he is willing to put that little girl’s life at risk in order to protect his ego! He deserves far more than just a slap!

Emrys knew exactly what Lincoln was trying to do.

Under normal circumstances, prescribing someone the wrong medication would not result in any serious consequences. If the one he gave the little girl didn’t work, Lincoln could just claim the medication wasn’t as effective and prescribe her another one.

However, Emrys had noticed that the little girl was in critical condition when he observed her index finger earlier.

There are three points on the fingernail, known as the healthy, sick, and critical points. Her lunula has already reached the tip of her finger, which means she is in critical condition right now. Drinking this White Tiger Decoction will undoubtedly result in her death!

That slap had stunned Lincoln and the patients who were waiting in line for their turn.

They had no clue how serious the little girl’s condition was, so they couldn’t understand why Emrys would hit Lincoln over a conflict in medical opinions.

Having spent five years on the battlefield, Emrys had learnt to appreciate and value life. He couldn’t bring himself to watch the little girl die as a result of Lincoln’s misdiagnosis.

“F*ck you!” Lincoln yelled as he staggered to his feet and made a phone call.

“Hey, Caylie! Where did you find this barbaric savage from? Do you have any idea what he did?” he shouted the moment the call got through. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Caylie was handling a shipment of goods that had just arrived in Summerbank when she received his call. Naturally, she didn’t take too kindly to being yelled at like that. “What happened. Dr. Faraday? What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about this guy named Emrys! Why would you even hire him?” Lincoln screamed angrily.

Caylie’s tone grew cold when she heard Lincoln badmouthing Emrys. “Emrys is my brother, Dr. Faraday. Please show some respect when talking about him.”

“He’s your brother?” Lincoln froze in shock for a few seconds before continuing in a much angrier voice, “Okay, I see how it is. I was wondering why he kept going against me earlier. It’s all clear now that I know he’s your brother, Caylie. I bet you’ve been wanting to get at me since a long time ago, huh? Fine! I quit!”
