Chapter 54: The Quack Doctor Was Actually Her Boss
She wisely kept quiet and continued watching TV.
Based on Wang Shufen's description just now, we can probably draw a conclusion.
This plump aunt probably has rheumatoid arthritis.
This is not an easy disease to cure!
Taking hormones cannot control the development of the disease; it will only mask the symptoms.
Judging from what Wang Shufen just said, the dosage of hormones is quite large, two tablets per dose, three times a day.
No wonder her face is so chubby.
Seeing that Bai Zhi was sitting there staring at the TV without saying a word, it seemed that Bai Zhi did not realize that she was being mocked.
Wang Shufen felt a sense of frustration, like punching cotton.
She's a straightforward person who can't hide her emotions; she won't give up until she's completely vented her anger.
So he couldn't help but look at her and question her, "Bai Zhi, what did you just say? You seemed to have treated a child. You have a medical license, so you treated that child?"
Xie Yun looked slightly surprised upon hearing Wang Shufen's words.
Angelica dahurica is a folk Chinese medicine practitioner who has not undergone professional training and therefore does not have a medical license.
They all know that.
Wang Shufen had a problem with Angelica dahurica and was always sarcastic and cryptic.
If she finds out that Bai Zhi is practicing medicine without a license, wouldn't she have something on her hands?
This could potentially lead to problems.
Just as Xie Yun was about to speak up to defuse the situation, Bai Zhi turned her head and explained in a leisurely tone, "Auntie, of course I have a medical license. I am Old Master Ye's granddaughter. I have studied medicine for so long, how could I not have a medical license? But you misheard me. I did not see patients. I am still inexperienced. Even if I had a medical license, my grandfather would not allow me to see patients on my own. I can only work as an apprentice in a Chinese medicine shop to practice. The doctors who actually see patients are the attending physicians at our Jishengtang."
Bai Zhi remained calm and composed, giving a perfectly tactful reply that effectively shut Wang Shufen up.
Xie Yun and Lu Zheng'an both breathed a sigh of relief.
That girl is so smart.
However, after hearing Bai Zhi's explanation, Wang Shufen's chubby face scrunched up, but her eyes widened in excitement as she continued to question her.
"What did you just say? Where did you get your medicine from?"
Bai Zhi was puzzled. "Ji Sheng Tang? What's wrong?"
"Jishengtang? That Jishengtang, isn't the doctor there surnamed Zhou?"
Bai Zhi was startled by Wang Shufen's intense reaction.
However, he still answered truthfully, "Yes, the doctor in our Chinese medicine shop is surnamed Zhou."
Judging from her reaction, does she know Dr. Zhou?
"Alright. My God, you actually worked under that quack doctor? Who introduced you there, or did you find it yourself?" Wang Shufen was very agitated and even resentful when she mentioned Dr. Zhou.
"I found it myself."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Wang Shufen sneered, "Birds of a feather flock together."
Lu Zheng'an was also troubled by Wang Shufen's unpredictable mood, especially since she was so openly targeting Bai Zhi. He warned her in an unfriendly tone, "Second Aunt, how can you speak like that? Please watch your words."
Wang Shufen explained, "Brother, it's not that I'm not careful with my words, but the Chinese medicine shop where Bai Zhi works is completely unreliable. That Dr. Zhou is a quack. I went there for treatment, and he delayed my recovery. He prescribed a bunch of black plasters for me, but they didn't work at all. My skin was red and itchy. What else could he be but a quack?"
Bai Zhi, "..."
What a coincidence!
Did Dr. Zhou treat Wang Shufen?
She really didn't have much hope for Dr. Zhou's medical skills.
Calling him a quack doctor is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's highly likely that he misdiagnosed Wang Shufen's illness.
The ointment should be prescribed according to the treatment for rheumatic joint diseases.
In fact, rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatism are two completely different types of diseases.
The treatment methods are also completely different.
In this era, the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is still immature, and many doctors cannot distinguish between rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatism.
Therefore, cases of delayed treatment often occur.
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun were also very surprised. They never expected that the quack doctor that Wang Shufen had been talking about a few days ago was actually the owner of Baizhi.
Their reaction was lukewarm; they merely warned Wang Shufen, "Xiao Zhi only gets her medicine from Jishengtang. Her medical skills weren't taught by that Doctor Zhou. Don't take your anger out on Xiao Zhi."
“I’m not holding a grudge against her. I just think that the fact that she could work under that Dr. Zhou proves that her judgment isn’t very good and she didn’t learn anything. Don’t think she’s so great just because her maternal grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. As a patient, I know from experience that traditional Chinese medicine is unreliable. Besides, you’re all healthy and without any problems, so why do you admire her maternal grandfather so much?”
As Wang Shufen spoke, she looked at Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun with a probing gaze.
When did they become interested in traditional Chinese medicine?
Their daughter is a promising young surgeon at the military hospital, with a bright future ahead of her.
Why are they not proud of their daughter who studied Western medicine, and why do they blindly admire Bai Zhi's maternal grandfather whom they've never met?
Wang Shufen always felt that her older brother and sister-in-law were acting a little strange lately.
Does this seem like a deliberate attempt to curry favor with Angelica dahurica?
She's just a country girl. Even if she has a businessman uncle, her background is still not respectable. She's not even in the same league as her niece.
It's one thing for the old man to be confused, but she really can't understand why her elder brother and sister-in-law, who are both respectable people, are so short-sighted.
Besides, they can't make decisions for Lu Ye.
Lu Zheng'an met Wang Shufen's gaze, coughed lightly, and spoke with a stern face.
"Alright, respect other people's professions. Don't arbitrarily define an industry based on personal likes or dislikes."
Lu Zheng'an was clearly protecting Bai Zhi, and Wang Shufen pursed her lips, so she had no choice but to stop.
Her eyes darted around slightly, a fake smile appearing on her face as she looked at Bai Zhi and softened her tone, "Bai Zhi, let me tell you, that Dr. Zhou is really unreliable. If you truly want to learn medicine and treat patients, go back to Bincheng and study at your maternal grandfather's Derentang. Don't work under that Dr. Zhou anymore. What if there's a medical accident one day and the patient comes to settle scores, dragging you down with them?"
It must be said that Wang Shufen's words truly touched Bai Zhi's heart.
Indeed, given Dr. Zhou's medical skills, she was quite afraid of patients coming to her door.
"Thank you for reminding me, Auntie. I'll consider it."
Bai Zhi's obedient attitude eased Wang Shufen's chubby face.
She pressed her advantage and continued to brainwash Bai Zhi, "That's right, listen to advice and you'll eat your fill. You're a country kid and you're not well-informed. You should listen to your elders and not be stubborn, or you'll suffer in the end."
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun had finally managed to persuade Bai Zhi to stay, but Wang Shufen interfered again. Lu Zheng'an's face darkened, and he sternly interrupted her.
"Alright, don't worry about Xiaozhi's affairs. Just take care of your two kids."
Wang Shufen was startled by Lu Zheng'an's stern tone. She muttered, "What's wrong with my two kids?"
Fearing that Lu Zheng'an would get angry and start arguing with Wang Shufen, Xie Yun quickly spoke up to change the subject, "Do Lu Hai and Lu Ya know that you've moved here?"
“Xiao Hai went to the coal mine, and Xiao Ya went out to play with her classmates during the holidays. They don’t need us to take care of them.” Wang Shufen spoke of her son and daughter with loving pride and a strong sense of boasting. “My son and daughter are so sensible and capable that we don’t need to worry about them at all. Xiao Hai is already dating and will bring his girlfriend home in a few days.”
Unlike their Lu Ye and Lu Shan, who are both like blocks of wood.
I'm almost thirty and still haven't found a partner.
None of them are easy to deal with.
As soon as Wang Shufen finished speaking, Lu Shaoan walked out of Old Lu's bedroom, holding a brick-shaped mobile phone and talking on the phone.
"Xiaoya, why are you out of money again? Didn't I give you two thousand when you left?"
