Chapter 1003 Extra 1: The World-Famous Doctor Qiao
Five years later.
Qiao’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall located on Binjiang Avenue.
A long queue formed outside the Chinese medicine clinic, with a constant stream of people seeking treatment. Inside, many apprentices worked together, some grinding herbs, some dispensing them, and some volunteers maintaining order.
The Chinese medicine hall covers a large area.
But there are so many people who can't wait to seek medical treatment. Many of them come from other places, and people from all corners of the world gather here.
A volunteer shouted with a loud speaker, "Those who made online appointments should go through this channel, and those who are picking up numbers on site should line up this way. People over 70 and children under 5 should go through a special channel. There's a lounge over there where you can rest for a while. There's free flower tea for everyone. No scalpers! We register with real names, no exorbitant prices! Dr. Qiao's registration fee is only one yuan, so don't be fooled by scammers!"
"If the condition isn't too serious, you can also see Dr. Qiao's apprentices. They were all taught by Dr. Qiao himself, and they're very reliable."
That's what I said.
But those outsiders who came from afar would rather wait for Qiao Xi's number.
Fortunately, after Qiao Xi's appointment is taken, no more appointments will be issued, so as to avoid people waiting in vain. Online appointments are only available within three days, and appointments after three days are not available yet. This is also to provide an opportunity for emergency patients.
A seven-day appointment is too long. You don’t need to wait to see a doctor.
Unfortunately, there are too few good doctors.
Doctors like Qiao Xi who have good character and high medical skills are even rarer.
Cheng Han, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, started treating patients in Yueliang Village five years ago. However, Yueliang Village is too far away, and he is old and lacks energy, so he treats fewer patients every day.
Basically, starting from three years ago, Cheng Han has been seeing fewer and fewer patients every day, and sometimes he even doesn't have the energy to treat patients.
He announced that his apprentice Qiao Xi had already completed his apprenticeship.
Even better than the master.
She had already mastered the Cheng family's acupuncture technique, the Plum Blossom Nine Needles, and had also delved into the Lingshu Nine Needles. She was extremely talented and capable of standing on her own.
At that time, Qiao Xi had also completed the breastfeeding period after giving birth, and the two children were very obedient.
She just happened to be back in business.
Therefore, the reputation of the Chinese medicine clinic is growing.
Some people initially didn't believe Cheng Han's words, thinking he was just trying to flatter his own apprentice. But Qiao Xi unexpectedly solved one difficult and complicated case after another, patiently solving those difficult cases that others found difficult.
With her continuous efforts, her reputation is getting better and better.
There is even a trend of surpassing the older predecessors.
"I heard that Dr. Qiao set up special channels specifically for the elderly and children, just to make them feel more comfortable when seeing the doctor."
"Forget the special channels. Look at us waiting in line. They even provide free scented tea and have seats nearby. The volunteers all have smiles on their faces, not a hint of impatience. For this reason alone, I love this Chinese medicine clinic."
"Dr. Qiao's husband is so rich, and she herself comes from a good family. She could have enjoyed life at such a young age, but she spends every day here treating patients and saving lives, touching wounds that others would consider disgusting or dirty. She truly has a kind heart."
"Who says it's not? I just pray that Dr. Qiao can continue to work and that Qiao's Chinese Medicine Hall won't close. Otherwise, where can we find such a cheap and good place to see a doctor? The medical treatment here is guaranteed. Let me tell you, a while ago, my brother-in-law went to the city hospital for treatment, and the doctor was helpless, so he secretly suggested that he come to Qiao's Chinese Medicine Hall for a checkup."
"What's wrong with your brother-in-law?"
"He's been seeing Dr. Qiao for a month for his sexual health issues. He's gotten the medicine he needed and is feeling much better. I noticed his mood has improved, too, so I came to see him about rheumatism."
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from the imperial capital. How about you, brother?"
"I'm from Yuncheng. I hear everyone's accent is very different. It seems like they're all from other places. Doctor Qiao is really famous!"
The patients waiting in line gathered together and started chatting.
"Next!"
The brightest and cleanest clinic in the Chinese medicine hall opened its door, and the apprentice called out the next patient. After comparing the information, he let the patient in.
The patient was Zhao Zhongguo, who had come to the capital for rheumatism. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with jet-black hair. He just limped when he walked. It was June, and it had been raining a lot, so his rheumatism had flared up.
He was tortured day and night, and even had to take painkillers.
But none of them worked. My wife said I shouldn’t take too many painkillers, as it would make me suffer more when I get older.
So he rushed to Haicheng to see a doctor.
He entered the clinic and immediately saw Dr. Qiao, wearing a white coat and her hair tied up in a bun with a jade hairpin. Her temperament was gentle and tolerant, and her face looked brighter and more beautiful than a celebrity, yet it was impossible to feel any disrespect for her.
I always feel guilty for having any thoughts.
In the eyes of others, there is only admiration.
"Please sit down."
Qiao Xi smiled gently and brightly.
After becoming a mother, her temperament also changed. She was a little more patient than before.
Five years have made her more mature.
But her appearance is better than before.
She is no longer the little girl who cried late at night missing her grandmother.
Nor will she be a girl who always needs recognition and praise from her husband to build up her confidence.
She is Dr. Qiao.
Own your own business.
She and Huo Xingzhou are both shining in their respective fields.
"Doctor Qiao." Zhao Zhongguo sat on the chair next to Qiao Xi and said, "I have rheumatism and I haven't been able to get better after taking many medicines. I heard that you can't treat many rheumatic patients, so I wanted to come and see you."
Qiao Xi said softly, "Put your hand on the pulse pillow."
Rheumatism wasn't a serious illness for her, and Qiao Xi had indeed been unable to treat many cases. However, it wasn't accurate to say that this type of immune disease was completely cured. It was just that as long as the patient paid attention to their diet and made reasonable adjustments for a period of time, the disease wouldn't recur.
If you don't pay attention to yourself, you will suffer easily.
Zhao Zhongguo obediently put his hand on it, and wiped his wrist to avoid getting the hand pillow dirty.
He looked at Qiao Xi nervously, afraid that her medical skills would reveal some serious illness. Ordinary people always feel a sense of fear when facing doctors, feeling that the doctor can decide their life or death.
Qiao Xi comforted him, "Don't be nervous, relax a little."
"Well, Dr. Qiao, just tell me what's wrong with me. I can handle it, but is my rheumatism curable? I have pain every night, when it rains, and even when I walk a lot. If the pain continues even after I stop taking Western medicine, do you think I'll ever be able to get rid of it?"
