Chapter 59: Suing Him for Medical Malpractice
Meeting Bai Zhi's questioning gaze, Wang Shufen and Wang Tingting rolled their eyes guiltily. Wang Shufen said, "I'm here to tell this Doctor Zhou that his medical skills are no good, and his plasters are no good either. Not only do they not cure diseases, they also have the opposite effect."
Dr. Zhou was surprised by the coincidence that this patient knew Bai Zhi.
Previously, his Chinese medicine shop would only get a few patients every three days.
Since Bai Zhi started working here, people come every day.
And they were all there for her.
Looking at the sharp-tongued woman, Dr. Zhou retorted in a deep voice, "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes diagnosis and treatment based on syndrome differentiation. It's just that you're not suitable for using black plaster."
"Then why did you open it for me?" Wang Shufen looked at him and asked the question that struck her as a profound one.
Dr. Zhou, "!!!"
Yes, he must have had too much free time to take on this patient.
Bai Zhi forced herself to calmly reason with Wang Shufen.
"Auntie, Dr. Zhou's black plaster is effective in treating rheumatism and bone diseases, but it needs to be treated according to the course of treatment. You've only used it for a short time, so the effect is definitely not good. As for the side effect of developing a rash, it really varies from person to person. It's related to your skin, so don't cause trouble."
Wang Shufen frowned, her voice shrill, "Bai Zhi, how can you talk like that? Do you think I'm looking for trouble?"
Dr. Zhou was furious. "You call this causing trouble? You came to see me a month ago, and now you're coming here to make a scene. What else is this but deliberately causing trouble?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Wang Shufen's face.
She quickly calmed down, and instead of arguing with Doctor Zhou, she looked at Bai Zhi and earnestly advised her.
"Xiao Zhi, let me tell you, he's a quack. If you stay here, you might get implicated. You're still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. Don't act rashly."
Wang Shufen was puzzled. Even Ye Tiandong, the boss, had come to see her, so why was Bai Zhi lingering there?
To say she has no feelings for Lu Ye based on her behavior is simply lying.
She pretended to be nonchalant, but in reality, she couldn't wait to marry Lu Ye.
Wang Tingting looked at Bai Zhi arrogantly, "My aunt is only doing this for your own good. Lu Ye has been hiding and not going home. You should understand that he doesn't even look at you. There's no use in you staying in Nancheng and waiting. Working in a place like this, you might get into a medical accident. Once something happens, you won't be able to get out for at least ten or eight years."
Wang Tingting deliberately used strong words, but Bai Zhi remained indifferent and unmoved.
"Thank you for reminding me."
Seeing that she was as stubborn and unyielding as a rock in a latrine, Wang Tingting looked frustrated and stomped her feet in anger.
Wang Shufen looked at the crowd watching the commotion at the door and said loudly, "You all need to be careful when using their medicines. I'm a prime example."
Seeing Wang Shufen begin to ruin the reputation of the pharmacy, Bai Zhi's face darkened. She stepped in front of Wang Shufen and said sternly, "Auntie, don't go too far."
“I know you want to drive me out of Nancheng. You can target me, but don’t drag innocent people into this or spread rumors.”
She stared at Wang Shufen's large, round face and sneered, "You really think the doctors at the hospital gave you some kind of miracle cure?"
"Since you're sick, you should at least understand the medication before taking it and have some basic common sense. Hormone drugs are fast-acting, but do you dare to stop taking them?"
Wang Shufen, “…”
Bai Zhi scoffed, her face full of mockery. "Look at your chubby face. Do you really think you gained weight from eating too much? Let me tell you, this is steroid-induced rosacea. Moreover, your condition is not under control at all. Once you stop taking the medication, the rebound will be even more severe. The steroids are masking the progression of your condition. Long-term use of steroids will not only damage your internal organs, but also greatly increase the chance of developing steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Instead of wasting time making trouble and deliberately making things difficult for us, you should go back and find your doctor to adjust your medication plan. Delaying treatment for this disease can lead to disability."
“My Uncle Lu doesn’t like you anyway. If you become paralyzed, see how he treats you.”
She knew nothing about Wang Shufen's situation in her previous life.
However, when Lu Ya had the accident, Lu Shaoan didn't have time to care. He only said that her mother was unwell and couldn't run around to help.
Bai Zhi rattled off a string of words, leaving Wang Shufen completely bewildered.
What do you mean her face isn't just normal weight gain?
What do you mean by saying she will become disabled or paralyzed?
Seeing that Bai Zhi, this country girl, was so sharp-tongued and didn't respect her aunt, Wang Tingting gritted her teeth and said, "You brat, how dare you curse my aunt? How can you be so vicious at such a young age?"
He made a gesture as if to raise his hand to hit Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi grabbed her arm and flung her away.
She looked at Wang Shufen and spoke in a cold voice.
“We’re going to work now. If you continue to cause trouble, Dr. Zhou will go to the police station across the street to report us.”
"Go ahead and report it, I'm afraid you won't dare." Wang Tingting was fearless. If they dared to call the police, she could have her aunt sue them for medical malpractice.
Once Bai Zhi faces legal trouble, she'll behave herself.
Bai Zhi ignored Wang Tingting and stared intently at Wang Shufen with a serious expression. "Auntie, if we alert the police, it will inevitably alert my Uncle Lu and Grandpa Lu. You decide what to do. It's not terrible to be sick, but if your heart is corrupted, there is no cure."
Bai Zhi's last words completely turned the tables on Wang Shufen.
She could secretly come out to threaten Bai Zhi, scare her, drive her away, and make her go to Bincheng to seek refuge with her uncle.
To make room for her niece.
But these actions must absolutely not be known to the Lu family.
With the Lu family's power, even if Bai Zhi were to be involved in a so-called medical malpractice incident, as long as the old man intervened, he could ensure her safety.
Besides, Bai Zhi hadn't arrived yet when Doctor Zhou applied the black plaster to her.
Wang Shufen's eyes darted around frantically, but she quickly changed her attitude and softened her tone, "Bai Zhi, I've said everything I need to say. If you insist on staying in this Chinese medicine shop, there's nothing I can do. If something happens in the future, don't beg the Lu family for help. Think carefully about whether your future or this job of dispensing medicine is more important."
Bai Zhi bluntly exposed her trick, saying, "As long as you don't deliberately cause trouble, nothing will happen."
"you......."
Wang Shufen and Wang Tingting were no match for Bai Zhi.
Wang Shufen was also surprised that this country girl, who usually looked gentle and weak, and was quiet and introverted, was not expected to be like this.
Today, facing such a situation, he was surprisingly sharp-tongued and not intimidated at all.
Even bringing up the medical malpractice incident didn't scare her at all.
It seems this brat is really going all out to marry into the Lu family.
Those who had been watching the commotion at the entrance now understood the whole story.
There was absolutely no medical malpractice at Jishengtang.
These two women came specifically for Dr. Xiaobai.
Bai Zhi has maintained a very good relationship with her neighbors these days. Since most of the residents are elderly, Bai Zhi has recently been applying Sanfu patches to them, which has improved their joint problems to some extent.
Normally, if I go in to get some medicine for a cold, Dr. Zhou will wave me away and give it to me for free.
Although people dared not seek treatment for serious illnesses at Jishengtang, they lived as neighbors and would absolutely not tolerate anyone coming to cause trouble.
Upon hearing that the two women had ill intentions and wanted to drive Bai Zhi away, the old people's expressions changed instantly. They pointed and gossiped about the two women, and some hot-tempered old men not only swore but also threatened to beat them up.
Seeing that things were going badly, Wang Shufen quickly pulled Wang Tingting away and slunk away.
