Chapter 83: Medical Dispute
Ever since Qin Fengwei targeted her, Ji Yunshu knew that the days ahead would not be so peaceful.
But I didn't expect those people would start from the clinic.
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. After all, she is a woman in the inner house and she doesn't even go out on weekdays.
It's also difficult to do anything directly to her.
What's more, the current situation has not reached the point where everyone is doomed to fail, so who can really do anything to her?
Sitting in the carriage on the way to the clinic, Bai Ling explained the situation to Ji Yunshu.
"It was a seriously ill man who somehow collapsed in front of our clinic in the middle of the night. He was found by a waiter at dawn. The waiter, feeling sorry for him, took him home. But a short while later, a woman and a young man came to make a scene, saying our doctor's medical skills were inadequate and had harmed their families."
"How is it now?"
Bai Ling said with a grim expression, "It's not good. I and several doctors in our clinic have taken his pulse, but we can't tell what the illness is. It seems more like he's been poisoned. If that's not the case, I can't be sure that someone is deliberately causing trouble."
Ji Yunshu didn't quite understand the medical treatment, but she remembered that Taoist Master Yichen seemed to be proficient in poison techniques, so she asked, "Have you sent someone to find Taoist Master Yichen?"
Bai Ling nodded. "We've sent someone to wait at the city gate early this morning. As soon as the gate opens, we'll go to the farm to pick him up. But given his condition, he might not be able to wait that long."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "We can only do our best, and leave the rest to fate."
Bai Ling was a little unwilling: "Looking at the character of that family, even if we try our best to save them, they won't let us go."
"It's okay. It's a bit strange to attack the clinic at this time. Have you found out anything?"
These days, Bai Ling is not only in charge of the clinic's affairs, but also secretly investigating the flow of large amounts of medicinal materials.
"Using our clinic's name, I contacted the youngest son of a major Northwestern medicinal herb merchant. He probably didn't know our background at first and readily agreed to sell us a batch of herbs, but he reneged the next day. This happened just a few days ago."
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Most businessmen would definitely investigate the other party's background before doing business. This kind of naive young man is rare."
Bai Ling nodded. "That's right. I guess it's because I didn't ask for much at first, just to test him, so he didn't take it seriously. And he's obviously a second-generation rich kid. He might have kept the deal with me a secret from his family."
It is possible for a young man who is naive about the world to do a small business without telling his family.
But Ji Yunshu always felt that something was wrong.
There are not many truly stupid people in this world, and even if there are, their families will not let them out easily.
What Beijing lacks the least is rich and powerful second-generation rich kids, but who dares to say that these people really know nothing?
She pondered for a moment and said, "It seems the problem lies in this transaction. A major medicinal herb merchant in the northwest shouldn't be unaware of the flow of large quantities of medicinal herbs. Have someone keep an eye on this young man first. We'll have to contact him later."
After figuring out the whole situation, Ji Yunshu had a better idea of what was going on in the clinic.
When she arrived at the clinic, she found that there were already several circles of people inside and outside watching the fun.
The shopkeeper was explaining something to a middle-aged woman with sweat on his forehead, but the old woman was angry and obviously didn't want to listen.
The shopkeeper caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye while he was speaking, and quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Madam."
He looked a little guilty. Ji Yunshu understood that it was not that he didn't want to solve the problem, but that the other party had come to pick a fight on purpose, and of course he would not be easily dismissed.
With so many people watching, if he handled the situation improperly, it would affect the reputation of the Changxing Marquisate and even the Wu'an Marquisate.
It was difficult for him, a grown man, to be blocked at the door by a middle-aged woman. He couldn't hit her or scold her, and he really felt helpless.
The middle-aged woman didn't show any fear when she saw Ji Yunshu coming. She stepped forward and asked, "Are you the owner of this clinic? What's going on with your clinic? My husband has been here for several hours, and you haven't even diagnosed what's wrong with him. If anything happens to him, how will you compensate him?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her coldly. Although she spoke confidently, her fingers kept tugging at the corner of her clothes. It seemed that she was not completely unaware of fear.
She said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me what medicine your husband drank first? Then we can find a way to detoxify him."
She was familiar with the medical skills of Bai Ling and the people in this clinic, especially those taught by Yichen. Although they were not proficient in poison techniques, they had some attainments.
They thought he was poisoned, which was probably the case.
The middle-aged lady looked flustered for a moment, but quickly denied it. "What poison? I don't know. My husband came to the clinic because he was sick. Your doctor can't tell what's wrong, and you won't let me tell you? I'm telling you, if anything happens to my husband today, our whole family will die. We'll die in front of your clinic."
Ji Yunshu had seen medical disputes before, so she didn't take this level of unreasonable behavior seriously.
She smiled and said, "Since we can't communicate, then..."
Then he turned around and told the bewildered man standing aside, "Go report to the police."
The guy was stunned for a moment, then ran out.
The middle-aged woman's face showed panic, and she burst into tears, "I know you have the government as your backing, so you don't care about the lives of us ordinary people. My husband's life is so miserable..."
Ji Yunshu didn't bother to pay any attention to her. He turned around and said to the shopkeeper, "Since you say our doctor's medical skills are not good, then don't treat that person. Let them take him away and confiscate their money, okay?"
The shopkeeper replied, “No.”
The guy meant well but ended up doing something awful. As soon as the patient was carried into the clinic, this family started making trouble without any reason.
How can I give money?
Ji Yunshu said to the middle-aged woman, "My clinic hasn't charged you a penny, and we have no obligation to treat patients. Our doctors' skills have nothing to do with you. Carry the patient away. Otherwise, if anything happens to him, I will report you to the authorities and sue you for extortion."
The woman angrily shouted at Ji Yunshu, "What are you talking about? A clinic owner won't treat patients. Don't think I don't know..."
Ji Yunshu interrupted her coldly: "You know it's useless. Carry the person away now. I won't bother with you about what happened before. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."
As he was speaking, a young man ran out of the clinic and shouted, "He's vomiting blood! My father is vomiting blood! Doctor, help him!"
The doctor had been driven out by the mother and son because of his poor medical skills. Now, when he heard the man's words, he subconsciously moved his feet.
He is a doctor, he can't just watch the patient vomit blood and do nothing.
But before he could take a step, Ji Yunshu had already spoken: "First, the clinic doesn't charge money, and the patient's life or death has nothing to do with us. Second, my doctor's medical skills are not very good, so you two should seek someone else."
As he was about to go inside, the lady was still crying. Ji Yunshu stared at her and said, "If you continue to make trouble here and affect my business, you will have to pay compensation."
The woman's neck seemed to be strangled by something, and her cries were stuck in her throat.
