Within moments, several people were already reading the notice outside the clinic.
“Oh, treatments like special needle treatment only cost 10 dollars. How affordable…”
“Oh…” Someone shook his head. “You can’t try it because it’s affordable. This clinic is just trying to attract people during its opening ceremony. Who knows how good the doctor is? What if the special needle treatment makes you sick instead?”
“Well… You’re right.” The man nodded. “Shall we go then?”
An old man who looked 60 years old did not leave. He stared at the eye-catching words in front of the clinic.
“I’ve been suffering from back pain and lethargy. Ten dollars is pretty cheap. I’m old anyway. I’m not scared if anything goes wrong, so I’ll give it a try.”
With that said, the old man went in wobbling.
The crowd watched the old man go in and then come out.
The whole process took less than five minutes.
“Out so soon? How does it feel?”
The old man chuckled. “It feels really good! I feel so energetic now. There’s no pain in my body. The doctor’s amazing. He pricked me in several places on my body.”
Hearing this, the crowd was immediately curious.
“Really? What the hell, I’ll give it a try,” a young man with dark circles under his eyes muttered.
With that said, he strode in.
This time, the young man came out looking embarrassed within a minute.
As soon as he said this, several middle-aged men could not help but gasp and give the young man a thumbs-up.
“Gosh! I didn’t expect you to be so strong.”
