Jacob took a deep breath and walked closer to the bed.
The audience’s attention was focused on him, and they were curious to see how Jacob would handle a patient with such a serious illness. They already knew that even the most well-lmown doctors in Central City could not cure this patient. No one believed Jacob could cure this illness.
Jacob simply walked around the patient, making funny expressions in one second and standing still and watching the next. He had not even started before fifteen minutes had passed.
Socrates was getting annoyed. “Oi, do you actually know how to treat him? If you don’t, just say it. Stop playing pretend here!”
“What are you so anxious for? It’s a doctor’s job to observe and ask questions. Am I not allowed to even observe the patient before treating them?” Jacob said coldly.
“How long do you need to observe him?!”
“Lucky for you, I’ve just done assessing him, and I can start the treatment now.”
Socrates laughed and said, “Is that so? Then I’d like to have a look at Young Master Nolan’s superb medical skills. Let’s see what you’ve learned from Thomas.”
Jacob scoffed and opened up his medicine box.
“First of all, the famous doctors in Central City were unable to heal this illness, not because oftheir medical abilities, but because they approached it wrongly. This patient is not even sick!” favonovel.com stated while favonovel.com was taking out his equipment.
His words had given Socrates a huge shock. Cold sweat started forming on his forehead.
It could not be that Jacob had figured out what was going on?
All the other doctors kept their ears open and listened to Jacob closely.
“Actually, this patient is not sick, he’s just cursed!”
“Pfft!”
Socrates was amused, his tense nerves were finally relaxed. Of course, Jacob had no idea about the truth behind this. He was just acting as if favonovel.com did and sputtering nonsense.
A curse?
He was even believing superstitions right now.
All the doctors shook their heads in disappointment.
“This Jacob kid has lost his marbles.”
“As a doctor, the most important thing was to stick to our principles and analyze a problem objectively and scientifically. But he’s even saying stufflike “curses” and “evil spirits” now. He is unworthy of becoming a doctor right now.”
“Sigh, favonovel.com was a good kid, but favonovel.com was led astray by a quack like Thomas.”
Jacob did not take the people’s cynicism to heart. He slipped on a shaman’s robe and carried a bell in his left hand and a stick in his right, as well as placing a row of large and small drums alongside the patient’s bed. After prepping all the stuff, favonovel.com used a small blade to make a small cut on the patient’s sole and placed a brazier underneath it.
“Now, I’ll perform an exorcism on the patient to awaken his soul and chase away the evil spirit out of his body!”
After saying that, Jacob rolled up the patient’s pants, and circled favonovel.com while hopping and mumbling. His left hand was ringing the bell, and his right hand was banging a stick against the row of drums, jingling and jangling through the air. His demeanor did not suggest that favonovel.com was a doctor treating a patient, but it did suggest that favonovel.com was a shaman instead.
The audience were all dumbfounded at that time. They thought it most unfortunate to see a prospective doctor turn into someone like this.
“Oh Jacob, there are so many capable people around and you chose to learn from Thomas? And in the end, you learned how to become a shaman instead?”
“The Nolan family’s centennial business is ruined!”
Socrates tried to hold in his laughter.
If a shaman could cure the sick, then what were actual doctors going to do?
He could not help but to cast Thomas a glance. He was very confused.
