"Ah, Boss Zhong, I think your medical skills are already superb. If you can't cure the disease, how can we go to a better hospital? What's more, I have to attend a house auction in the center of North City soon. If I go to a better hospital, I don't know if I can get back in time."
As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, Zhong Chuchu's brain accurately captured the key points of her words.
"Auction of houses in downtown North City? You said there's a group of houses going up for auction in North City some time. Will it be a judicial auction or a government auction?"
Hyperthyroidism is a chronic disease. In fact, as long as you take the medicine on time, you can regulate your condition by just taking the Chinese medicine he prescribed. But if you can't wait and feel that taking the Chinese medicine will take a long time, Zhong Chuchu will recommend him to go to a better hospital. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected gain. He learned from this woman that a batch of houses in North City will be auctioned, but he doesn't know whether they are judicial auction houses or government actions.
If it's a foreclosed property, it's more troublesome. Zhong Chuchu doesn't want to publicize it. If it's a government-run property, then Zhong Chuchu wants to get a piece of the action. Because the prices of government-auctioned properties are generally low to help with local fiscal revenue, and the locations of these auctioned properties are all good, they will increase in value in the near future.
The middle-aged woman was puzzled by Zhong Chuchu's question. She wondered if their focus right now was on the patient's condition. Why were they suddenly talking about auctioning the house? And whether it was a government auction or a foreclosed property?
The middle-aged woman realized belatedly that she had brought up the matter of the government's house auction in her haste. Thinking of Zhong Chuchu's own attending physician, and the fact that she was the one who revealed the matter of the house auction, she couldn't help but explain it seriously.
"It's a government auction. Houses here are usually auctioned by the government, not by the court."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Zhong Chuchu realized that loans were not as prevalent as they would be in later generations. Foreclosures and other properties were only created during the real estate bubble when bank loans were difficult to recover.
At this time, there may not be any foreclosed houses at all, or if there are foreclosed houses, they simply have no such channels to learn about them.
Various thoughts flashed through Zhong Chuchu's mind quickly in just a moment. Zhong Chuchu nodded thoughtfully.
"Oh, I see. Then, where are the houses being auctioned by the North City government? When will they be auctioned? Ma'am, could you please share some information?"
When the middle-aged woman heard that Zhong Chuchu was also interested in the house auction, she took out her bag, took out a notice from her pocket, pushed it directly in front of Zhong Chuchu, and said generously.
"Alas, it's not easy to find out about this. The government has issued a notice to let everyone in North City and other places know that the government has a batch of houses to auction, so that bidding can be facilitated! I happen to have a notice issued by the North City government here. It details the specific conditions of these houses, such as their location, appearance, layout, and land area. In addition, it also provides a detailed introduction to the auction price and bidding standards, as well as the start time of the auction. Boss Zhong, if you are interested, you can take a good look at it!"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman pushed the notice in her hand towards Zhong Chuchu. Zhong Chuchu took it speechlessly, thinking that she was locked up in the clinic all day doing business, and this information was indeed a bit behind the times. The government had issued a notice, but he didn't even know about it. She still expressed her gratitude sincerely.
"Thank you. I'll take the notice. I'll take some time to read it carefully, and then I'll join in the fun when the bidding starts."
After saying that, she put the notice away and saw the woman looking at her with a look of wanting to say something but hesitant. Zhong Chuchu naturally knew what the patient was thinking and told her directly.
"In fact, hyperthyroidism is not an acute or serious illness. It is just a chronic disease caused by endocrine imbalance. As long as you take the medicine I prescribe for you on time, you will be cured. However, it takes a little longer for Chinese medicine to cure the disease. It is not as fast as Western medicine. If you really don't have time to go to a better hospital and buy effective Western medicine for hyperthyroidism because you really want to participate in the government auction of your house, then you should take the Chinese medicine I prescribe for you carefully. You will definitely recover."
In fact, most Western medicines are extracted from traditional Chinese medicine. However, the therapeutic effect of Western medicine is fast but the effect is short-lived, while the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine is slow and the medication time is long, but it is more conducive to the body's regulation.
Many modern people are eager for quick results, whether in life or when they are sick. Even if they get sick and go to the hospital for treatment, they want to recover immediately and cannot wait that long, which leads to the proliferation of Western medicine.
Of course, Western medicine in the 1990s was far less prevalent than in the 21st century, but Zhong Chuchu wanted to explain the pros and cons of Chinese and Western medicine to the patient, as a way of thanking her and telling her about the reward for the house auction by the North City government!
After all, since the opening of Dekang Clinic, it has been crowded every day, and the three shareholders have made a lot of money. It is useless to keep the money in the bank, and the interest rate is too low. It is better to use it all to buy land and wait for it to appreciate in value.
Of course, the middle-aged woman quickly felt Zhong Chuchu's kindness. When she heard that she didn't need to seek medical treatment elsewhere and could be cured by taking Chinese medicine boiled in water, the middle-aged woman's eyes flashed with a strange light and she said with surprise.
"You mean I don't need to buy that miracle drug you mentioned. I can recover just by taking the Chinese medicine you prescribed, but it will take a little longer?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Of course, if you feel the treatment takes too long and you don't want to take Chinese medicine, you can also buy Western medicine."
"Well, if Chinese medicine can cure it, why bother buying Western medicine? I'm trying to raise money to buy that house at the government auction. My family runs a business nearby, and there's a house that would suit our business needs. I don't have time to go around buying medicine. As long as your medicine can cure it, that's fine."
I was originally thinking that I didn't have time to go out and buy Western medicine. Since Zhong Chuchu's medicine could cure her illness, why bother? What if the Western medicine I bought was not suitable for my condition and did not cure my illness? Wouldn't that be a big loss? It would be better to use the useful time to do something useful.
The female patient left happily after getting a satisfactory answer, but Zhong Chuchu sat there, carefully looked at the notice given to him by the other party, and fell into deep thought.
