All Karen could think of was to escape when she faced Pierre's questioning.
"Pierre, it's getting late. Get some rest. Trust me, I'll find you a good doctor to fix your leg." After that, she left the ward as though
she was fleeing.
Downstairs, a nurse on duty was briefing the VIP ward nurse on Pierre's condition, who had been transferred from the
detainment ward.
After the VIP ward nurse learned about Pierre's condition, she replied, "Alright, I've got the gist of it. But is there anything specific
to take note of?"
"Yes, he can only sit or lie down. Try to keep him in bed as much as possible. Dr. Park said his leg won't recover easily, even with
rehabilitation. So, we need to be careful. Who knows, the patient's recovery might improve later on," said the nurse from
downstairs.
"Yes, try to keep him in bed..." The VIP ward nurse glanced at the patient's name in the records. "His family name is Mallory.
Could it be the legendary Mallory family?"
"That's right. He's the heir of the Mallory family. But, unfortunately, his leg is pretty much done for..." replied the nurse. As nurses,
they did not really know much about Pierre's lifestyle. They were intrigued by Pierre's handsome appearance.
He was such a good-looking man, but he had a disabled leg. What a pity.
"Let me check the records." The VIP ward nurse looked at the documents and added, "Actually, complete recovery is not entirely
impossible."
"That's what Dr. Park said," added another nurse. The hospital staff believed in Dr. Park's assessments.
When Johann mentioned that the patient had a high probability of recovering to some extent, the patient would ultimately recover
to that extent.
"Dr. Park didn't tell you another thing, though." The VIP ward nurse smiled and shook her head.
"What? Is there a chance for a full recovery?" The nurse, realizing the other two had to wrap up the medical records handover,
began to quietly gossip under her breath.
"Don't you know we have a legendary figure on our floor?" The VIP ward nurse winked, glanced at her, and continued sorting the
documents.
"Who? Is it Dr. Park? It can't be. Although Dr. Park is amazing, judging by your tone, I'm guessing it's not him," replied the nurse.
"Indeed, it's not Dr. Park. We had a patient here who had a sudden hemorrhage in the pericardium. This genius decisively
treated the patient, and she even treated his neurological diseases.
"Her dry needling skills are extraordinary. I heard Dr. Wood say that her dry needling methods are different from usual. She
targets some really specific spots, not the usual traditional positions. But the results are excellent.
"Previously, another patient had movement problems due to brain damage, and she used her dry needling methods to treat the
patient. According to Dr. Park, this patient is almost as good as a normal person.
"I think if this genius could perform dry needling on the second young master of the Mallory family, there might be a chance for
him to recover to a normal state."
"That's impressive!" The other nurse could not help but exclaim. "Why haven't I heard about this?"
"Dr. Park said that this person is not a doctor. If it's widely publicized, we'll be putting her in a difficult position. She doesn't work
as a doctor but a pharmaceutical professor,” explained the VIP ward nurse.
"She's seriously awesome. If she could work at our hospital, she could help so many people." The nurse could not help but sigh.
"Alright, I'm just sharing the news with you. Her dry needling skills are indeed remarkable, and they're different from the
traditional dry needling technique. She yields excellent results too.
"But it's just my speculation that she can treat the second young master of the Mallory family. Keep it to yourself. Don't spread it
around. I'm afraid the head nurse will have a chat with me if this gets out," warned the VIP ward nurse.
"Okay."
"I've double-checked the document, so there's no problem," said the VIP ward nurse.
"In that case, I'll head downstairs to continue my shift." The nurse took the document, turned around, and walked toward the
elevator.
The conversation between the two was overheard by Karen, who was at the corner.
Someone who knew dry needling?
Dry needling technique could be used for physical therapy. Karen was aware of that. If that person helped Pierre with his therapy,
would there be a chance for improvement?
Karen stood there and only walked out after a few minutes.
The nurse who was on duty saw her approach and asked with a friendly smile, "Madam Mallory, are you leaving?"
"Yes." Karen initially wanted to inquire about the person who knew the dry needling technique. However, considering what the
nurse had just said, she realized that asking now might not yield much.
She gathered her thoughts, took out a pre-filled check, and handed it to the nurse. "Please take extra care of Pierre."
The nurse on duty was startled for a moment. She looked at the several zeros written on the check and quickly waved her
hands. "Taking care of patients is our duty. We can't accept money. Madam Mallory, please take this back."
"It's just a small token of my appreciation." Karen did not take back the check.
The nurse on duty was about to burst into tears. As healthcare professionals, they could not accept money. Moreover, Karen was
trying to give her money in a monitored area. Was she trying to get her fired?
She took a step back, not daring to touch the check. "Madam Mallory, please keep the check. We'll do our job and take good
care of the patient."
Karen frowned slightly when she saw the nurse was reluctant to accept it. In the end, she had to put the check away and said,
"Fine. If there's anything with Pierre, notify me immediately."
"We will," replied the on-duty nurse, feeling relieved that Karen had put away the check.
It was kind of surprising that even in this modern era, someone would openly pass along a check.
What was the point when she was only a nurse?
The nurse on duty had no idea about Karen's intentions. Thus, she found her behavior quite perplexing.
Karen intended to give the nurse a check to build a good relationship with her first. Then, she would ask the nurse for the
information about the person skilled in dry needling.
However, since the nurse adamantly refused the check, Karen had no choice but to leave.
As she left, she noticed one of the surveillance cameras was pointing toward the nurse's station.
Suddenly, it dawned on Karen. That was how it was.
Medical staff were not allowed to accept gifts or money from family members. Karen was too anxious when she handed over the
check to the nurse just now, assuming it would be fine since there were no other hospital staff around.
What she overlooked, though, was that hospitals were loaded with surveillance cameras.
Karen glanced back at the nurse on duty, noted her name, and took the elevator to leave.
The nurse on duty let out a sigh of relief only after watching Karen leave. She checked the time and figured the head nurse had
probably not gone off duty yet. Hence, she took the initiative to report to her about what happened just now.
Even though she did not accept the check, there was surveillance as evidence. However, in situations like these, it would be
better to report it voluntarily to avoid any future impact on her job.
After informing the head nurse, the nurse went back to organizing patient records without letting what happened with Karen
bother her.
