Lou Jinjun went to get a chair for both him and the woman he was treating to sit on.
He could see the fear that lay frozen in her dark eyes, as a doctor he was used to seeing people with eyes laden with trepidation on what the outcome of their diagnosis and treatment would be. The doctor wanted to laugh at the silly fear of the woman, but he had to hold back from acting based on impulse.
After they both sat down facing each other. Lou Jinjun continued to converse with his patient and by so doing his assessment going from system to system was completed in less than 20 minutes. There was no doubt his patient's pain was a 10 on a scale of 0 to 10. Sadly, he couldn't administer a narcotic medication to an opioid naive person like Ni Yuexi.
