Chapter 125 Meng Meng's departure & the troubles of Dr. Qi & the eel...
In the next few days, Shu Jinyue would go to Lao Jin's ward every noon to take his pulse, mainly to see the effectiveness of the medication.
Sure enough, after stopping the use of streptomycin, his dizziness suddenly dropped from five times a day to once a day, and even by the fifth day it had not recurred once, and his blood pressure also dropped very well.
As for anti-tuberculosis treatment, it is a chronic process and the effect cannot be seen for the time being, but as long as the cause is found, it is not difficult to treat.
Of course, Jin Yue has not been idle these days. She is still studying, listening to lectures and taking notes seriously. She is serious enough and low-key enough in every class.
She has to be low-key. She has become the center of attention. Everyone knows that she "competed with experts from all over the country by taking pulses with three fingers and won." If she continues to show off, it will be too much.
This time, her goal has been achieved, and that is enough.
What's even more outrageous is that this matter was spread by someone unknown, and the next day several people came to her for unknown reasons, asking her for help with their medical treatment. Many of them were Director Li's relatives and friends, as well as family members of the doctors in their department.
Shu Jinyue: “…” Has this gained me a new group of fans?
But that’s okay. She had never intended to limit herself to a small Shilan Province. Her goal was the entire country, and even the whole world!
The illnesses of these "people with connections" were much simpler than Lao Jin's. There weren't so many twists and turns. It was just a matter of two or three prescriptions of medicine. They had recovered before the training course was over, and they also introduced a group of their own friends, relatives and classmates to come.
All of a sudden, Shu Jinyue didn't even have any spare time after class. Even in the last two days, that stubborn old Wang brought in several patients.
After apologizing in public, Old Wang seemed to have gotten over his grievances and no longer cared about his reputation. "Doctor Shu, please help these old patients of mine. They have been in my department for a long time and have not been cured. As soon as I called them and told them about it, they immediately came here because of your reputation."
Shu Jinyue never refuses anyone who comes.
The symptoms that stumped him must not be simple ones. Jin Yue stayed for a few more days until the course was completely over. She would have to observe the treatment effect for a few more days before leaving.
Before leaving, they have to go shopping. Last time they mainly bought things for the couple, but this time they want to bring some things back for their family and friends, especially things that cannot be bought in Shilan Province.
This whole ordeal took another two days, and it was almost twenty days later when I returned to the bookstore.
Shu Wenming drove to the airport to pick them up. As soon as they met, he complained, "Xiao Ping'an and Yaya said they thought you weren't coming back, which made them very anxious. They kept asking me to call them all day long."
Jin Yue smiled and said, "These two little guys, it's a relief that I love them so much, but it's a pity for Meng Meng, she doesn't even miss her aunt?"
Shu Wenming glanced at her through the rearview mirror and snorted, "This little girl is even more outrageous. One day she didn't come home after school. My brother and sister-in-law were so worried that they called the police and mobilized the entire Liuye Hutong neighborhood to help look for her. It was actually Chief Li Xiangdong who found her in the middle of the night."
Jin Yue's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong with this girl? Why is she so worrying? Where did we find her later?" It was the middle of the night, and a little girl as young as a toddler was actually wandering outside. Was she going to make her family worry to death?
If he hadn't found it, my second brother would definitely not have this expression. Ever since the child was kidnapped in Xinghua Hutong that year, there has never been a second case like this in the surrounding area. It is conceivable that the moment Mengmeng could not be found, the eldest brother, his wife and Li Xiangdong were devastated.
"Li Xiangdong asked the railway bureau. He was originally planning to stop the train and arrest the traffickers, but he caught her in the waiting room. She was carrying a small backpack full of snacks and said she wanted to go to Beijing to find you. She followed the adults and found the train to Beijing. She even got through the ticket gate. If she had been a little later, she would have been on the train."
Shu Jinyue: “…” This child really deserves to be beaten, beaten until her butt is bruised, to give her a complete childhood.
But she also felt a little warm in her heart. To be fair, she had more contact with Yaya because Yaya liked Chinese medicine. She vaguely wanted to train Yaya to be her successor, so she paid extra attention to her.
Who would have thought that while Yaya and Xiaopingan were still talking about it, she had already taken action. What a real person of action! "Dad and Aunt Zhao were almost worried sick. They said they wanted to call you, but I stopped them. Just find him and don't cause you any trouble. But they will definitely beat him. My eldest brother was reluctant to do so, but my eldest sister-in-law was very ruthless."
Shu Wenming didn't know whether he was thinking about this matter, angry, or what, he didn't pay attention to the car in front of him and was shaken by the sudden brakes of the car in front. Shu Jinyue was dizzy and wanted to vomit.
She really wanted to vomit. She was a person who never got carsick, but she almost vomited.
Xu Duan quickly took out an orange from his bag, peeled it a little, but didn't eat it, letting the sour, refreshing smell evaporate. He put it under Jin Yue's nose, and she finally came to her senses.
Shu Wenming felt a little guilty and scratched the back of his head: "Are you okay?"
"Wenming, drive slower." Xu Duan was helpless with his second uncle. If it wasn't for taking care of Jin Yue, he would rather let him drive.
So Shu Wenming crawled to Liuye Hutong at a snail's pace. As soon as the car arrived at the gate of No. 16 Courtyard, three small black shadows rushed up. One took away the little aunt's left leg, one took away the right leg, and another took away the waist.
Shu Jinyue looked at the grinning Meng Meng and said, "Does your butt still hurt?"
The little girl tilted her head back and said, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. Soldiers don't cry out in pain. Soldiers are..."
He really thinks of himself as a soldier. Shu Jin laughed more and more. "Okay, okay, okay. I just bought you a set of green military uniform. See if it fits you."
The three children cried and went to the kang to look for gifts. Jin Yue was finally able to sit down and rest for a while. She didn't know if it was because there were too many people in the room or what, but she felt the air was a bit stuffy. "Mom, open the window a little."
"How's the clinic going during this period? Is it going well?"
"It went smoothly. Thirty percent of the patients who came to see you were diverted to me, and seventy percent went to Qi Peilan. I didn't leave you any work behind."
Shu Jinyue didn't care about patients being diverted. She didn't have to treat everything herself. As a clinic owner, it didn't matter who the patients saw, as long as they didn't leave Jinyue's clinic. "What about the decoration of the second floor?"
"It has been completed and is being ventilated. It will be officially put into use soon."
Then the two of them talked about accounts and sales. Shu Jinyue yawned twice, "Flying is tiring. This trip really made me exhausted. I'd better go out less in the future."
Zhao Wanqiu said distressedly: "Stop working so hard. You can take care of these things at any time. Why did I see an apology letter in the newspaper?"
She took out a copy of the Shilan Evening News, which happened to be yesterday's newspaper. It contained an apology letter in Teacher Wang's tone, for his own conceit and arrogance, for his contempt and misunderstanding of Chinese medicine, and for his reverence for true Chinese medicine.
Shu Jinyue took a quick look at it and found it well-written, quite sincere, even a bit sentimental. This stubborn old man really had the nerve to save face. So, she simply recounted what happened in Jing City, and her family's hearts were beating fast, especially when she talked about the end when Jin Yue discovered the truth, everyone felt a little emotional.
"I didn't expect that it was Lao Jin who lied and concealed the treatment process."
"If it's true as you said, that his nephew treated him badly, what are we going to do after we find out?"
Jin Yue shook his head. "It depends on whether Lao Jin wants to pursue the matter. I think Director Li will be able to figure it out later. He is not a nosy person."
Zhao Wanqiu sighed, "After this incident, I'm afraid my nephew won't dare to practice medicine anymore."
He had good intentions, but ended up treating his uncle worse, and there is a possibility that he would be left with lifelong and irreversible sequelae that have not yet been discovered, such as hearing loss, kidney damage, etc. This would also be a psychological trauma for him.
“Why not.”
Zhao Wanqiu continued to sigh: "So we doctors have to be extremely careful when treating patients and using medicines. If something goes wrong, it won't be a matter of money. The patient will fight us to the death."
At this point, she suddenly laughed, "Do you still remember the middle-aged couple who came to see Qi Peilan for treatment last time? They were the couple who made their fortune in breeding in the countryside, and the man had azoospermia."
Shu Jinyue nodded. She remembered that she later introduced them to Qin Haiyang. Because the sperm retrieval was successful, they just did artificial insemination. She didn't have time to ask about the specific results.
"She's pregnant!" Zhao Wanqiu said excitedly, "She got pregnant with Xiao Tan in one try. What's even more amazing is that she's pregnant with twins! The man had so few sperms, and Xiao Tan thought it was not easy to extract sperm at once, so he wanted to increase the success rate, so he injected all the sperm he extracted into her. Who knew that those few tadpoles would be so successful and she actually got pregnant with twins!"
There are two medical students in the family, and gradually they speak more openly. Shu Wenming, Xu Wenli and others don't think there is anything wrong with these words, and they even enjoy listening to them more than anyone else.
"As soon as the baby was pregnant, the couple went to Qi Jingtian's clinic and made a scene. They said they hired a dozen young men and old ladies from the village for five yuan a day to smash the clinic. Those old ladies were like tape recorders, telling everyone they met that Qi Jingtian's misdiagnosis had caused the young couple to be infertile for many years. They also compared the expenses they had spent on his clinic over the years and found that they had spent more than three thousand yuan on him..."
This was more than 3,000 yuan in the 1970s and 1980s. Many families could not afford so much money!
The young couple spent so much money, but the disease was not cured and was even misdiagnosed, wasting many years of their youth. Anyone would go crazy. The reason I didn't bother him in the past few months was simply because I had more important things to do.
The onlookers felt a sense of sympathy when they saw this. Many of them did not spend so much money, but this kind of loss cannot be measured simply by money. The pain and torture they experienced, the wasted time and energy, some couples even divorced, their families were broken, and their hearts were hurt. These losses are more serious than ten or three thousand yuan.
Some people even thought deeply about it. Their family members had been treated here and later died. Even if they died due to the natural development of the disease itself, they would still think more in their hearts - was it because Qi Jingtian took the wrong medicine and delayed the treatment? Accelerated death?
When they thought about it this way, they felt something was not right, and they all came with their families to ask for an explanation.
The city gates were lost and fires broke out everywhere. Qi Jingtian was very troubled. He couldn't get an appointment even if he made an appointment in advance before, but now all of a sudden there is none. The clinic that was crowded with people before is now busy... but they are not there to see a doctor, but to cause trouble.
"How could the impact of a disturbance be so great and so lasting?" Shu Jinyue felt a little strange.
Zhao Wanqiu laughed, "You thought it was just a fight?"
"That couple has no shortage of money. The people they hired are eager to draw up a duty roster and have them clock in at Qi Jingtian's clinic every day. Just think about it, five dollars a day, how can you earn five dollars in the countryside?" Those "aunts and uncles" would rather make more trouble for a few more days and make the impact as big as possible.
The thing that those who open a business fear the most is someone causing trouble every day. Who can stand it? Qi Jingtian makes a living by selling medicine. Without patients, he will have no money.
He was so angry that he had to call the police. This happened at least seven or eight times. Every time the police came, those people would sit there quietly and say they wanted to talk to Dr. Qi about medical treatment. The police didn't care about these things. As soon as the police left, they would continue to make trouble. This went on over and over for a long time.
"Qi Jingtian was so annoyed that he took the initiative to find the couple and said he wanted to pay them back. Not only did he have to pay back all the medical expenses for so many years, but he also wanted to compensate them with a sum of money. But they were still not happy about it. They said they didn't need money, but they just couldn't swallow this humiliation."
I would have compromised long ago if you asked for money, but he doesn't want money and he's not short of money, he just wants to vent his anger.
If they didn't leave, no one else would leave either. They blocked the old Chinese doctor Qi so much that he dared not go out every day and hid at home like a turtle.
"I think he deserves it! He gets beaten when he goes out. If he doesn't go out, he won't make any money."
In the past, I could earn dozens or hundreds of dollars from one patient at a time. Even if I only saw fifty patients a day, it would still be a huge profit. Having been used to such a "good life", he is now deprived of his source of income and may have to pay several huge compensations. This is more painful than killing him.
It sounds great, but this trend is not desirable. Jin Yue also runs a clinic herself, and she cannot guarantee that she and the doctors under her will never make misdiagnoses or missed diagnoses in their lifetime. If she were to be bullied like this, she would feel bad, right?
But if it were her, she would make amends and solve the problem as soon as possible, instead of being like Qi Jingtian, who was stubborn and unwilling to give in. Considering what he had done before, this was the blessing he deserved!
"Now he has no choice but to take the initiative to sue them in court, saying that he will let the judge decide the case. No matter what the verdict is, they are not allowed to make trouble again."
Shu Wenming sneered, "Does he really think he can get away with this lawsuit?"
"There are so many medical records, and he didn't write whether the man had any problems. As long as he insists that he asked the man to go for a check-up but he refused to go, and the patient can't provide evidence to prove that he misdiagnosed, there is really nothing we can do about him."
Shu Wenming laughed, "There are so many patients who have been cheated. Once they set this precedent, Qi Jingtian will have a hard time in the future. There will be many lawsuits waiting for him." If one person has no evidence, it is impossible that all of them will have no evidence. There will always be someone who can bring him down.
This is a just judgment, although it is still too easy for him.
"By the way, that guy, that Hong Kong businessman Wang Matt, right? He came to our clinic and home several times during your absence. We confiscated them and returned them all."
"Tian Meizhi told him you were not here, and he thought you were avoiding him on purpose. He said he came to apologize to you and it was annoying."
Zhao Wanqiu would not have had this attitude towards the patient. It was just that Wang Mate was really annoying. He dragged his feet for so long. If he could listen to Jin Yue and tell the truth to Jin Yue, his illness would have been cured eight hundred times ago.
"Last time, Niu Xiaofang provoked him and he blamed you. Do you think there is something wrong with him?"
As everyone was talking, Yaya and Xiaopingan suddenly ran in: "Aunt, that monkey spirit is here again!"
"What monkey spirit?"
"It's Wang Matt. Didn't your Aunt Zhao and the others secretly call him a monkey spirit? So these kids nicknamed him Monkey Spirit."
Shu Jinyue laughed out loud. Isn’t that the image of Wang Matt? He has a pointed chin and a hairy body. He speaks in a startled manner and his mouth burns. He scratches his ears and cheeks all the time. There is no wrong nickname, only the wrong name.
"Ms. Shu, Miss Shu, are you back? They didn't tell me where you were having the meeting, otherwise I would have gone to Jing City to find you myself."
Wang Matt, whom I hadn't seen for almost two months, had a monkey-like face that had become thinner and paler. As soon as Shu Jinyue saw his complexion, he knew he was not mistaken. This guy was basically exactly the same as the case written in Grandma Hu's book.
"Boss Wang, how are you?"
"Yes, I am ill. I really regret it now. I should not have listened to Miss Niu's nonsense and came to you earlier. Please accept my sincere apology." He bowed as soon as he entered the room.
The more she suffered, the more unpleasant he had said at the beginning, saying that she and Tian Meizhi had teamed up to cheat him of his money. She was seeing a doctor, and Xu Duan was doing business with him normally. The two of them had never mentioned each other's existence in any occasion when they were with him. Wasn't his accusation slander?
After he finished bowing and apologizing, he began to talk about his experiences in the past two months: "I was really ripped off by you Chinese medicine practitioners... oh no, by those doctors outside!"
After he left Shilan Province, he first returned to Gangcheng, where he consulted several doctors, including Chinese and Western medicine and even Tibetan medicine. He also took a lot of medicine, but none of them could help his high blood pressure.
"Later, I went to Japan to see that Doctor Kobayashi, but it was useless. He told me to come back to you."
Wang Matt said with a bitter face, "I didn't find you when I came back, and someone introduced me to an old Chinese doctor named Qi, who was about 60 or 70 years old, with white hair and beard. There were many people queuing up to see him, and I still got the most expensive special needs number. I thought he should be a good doctor, right? Guess what happened?"
When everyone heard the name of the old Chinese doctor Qi, oh, it was Qi Jingtian, it was really a case of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten, not worthy of sympathy.
"He heard that I was doing business in Hong Kong City. He wanted to do business with me, and then he wanted to borrow money from me, saying that his son needed money for a house and marriage. He also sold me several kilograms of ginseng, deer antlers and seahorses, and charged me more than 3,000 yuan for the medicine alone." He paused, "Of course, it's not that I don't want to spend this little money. The key is that the medicine he prescribed for me made me get more and more irritated, and my blood pressure went up instead of down."
Ginseng, deer antler and seahorse are free to eat, it would be strange if you don’t get a sore throat!
Very good, he has fallen into all the traps of pseudo-traditional Chinese medicine that Kobayashi from Japan, Qi Jingtian from Shilan Province, and Shu Jinyue have discovered so far.
Jin Yue knew he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"There's also Dr. An from your neighboring province, Dr. Chen from Hong Kong City, Dr. Liao from Rong'an Hall... and so on. I've been very busy during this period. I've tried them all."
Shu Jinyue's mouth twitched. It's true that he visited many famous doctors. "You haven't taken every medicine the doctor has prescribed, have you?"
"No, no, I ate some that seemed trustworthy, and didn't touch the ones that didn't work. I'm not Shennong." Of course, there was no effect after eating it, and it even made me feel worse.
Fortunately, not too stupid.
"Ms. Shu, Doctor Shu, I have discovered that your Chinese medicine community is full of mixed people. All kinds of people can call themselves old Chinese medicine practitioners, but in fact they are just so-so." Especially after spending two thousand yuan on medicine from the old Chinese medicine doctor Qi, he realized how kind-hearted and unpretentious Doctor Shu was. He only spent eighteen yuan on six visits!
If this were to happen at Dr. Qi's shop, he would probably charge him 10,000 yuan, right?
He is rich, but he is not a sucker.
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became more sincere: "Doctor Shu, please help me, save me. I have been sick for such a long time. If the temperature can't go down, I really will...will..." He really wiped away his tears, leaving watermarks on the back of his hand.
"You don't know, my brothers and sisters are hoping that I will die soon so that they can divide up my property. But I won't die. I want to live longer than them!"
Shu Jinyue was too lazy to listen to the grudges of the rich and powerful. "It's not impossible for me to treat you, but I have conditions."
"Just tell me what you want, I can satisfy you."
"Didn't you say last time that Tian Meizhi and I teamed up to trick you into buying things from Xinghua Factory?"
"This... I was instigated by someone and said it out of my mind. I regretted it as soon as I said it, and that's not what I meant." He scratched his head and ears, looking even more like a monkey. "How about this, I'll still buy the goods and I'll pay half of the payment, how about that?"
"Boss Wang, this is the initial 'price'. Now that you've seen it outside, I believe you should know that a good doctor is worth more than just this amount of money, right?"
Wang Matt is indeed a businessman. Knowing that Jin Yue is going to "raise the price", he gritted his teeth and said, "Then pay it all. I will pay it all, but you need to deliver the goods within the specified time and guarantee that they are qualified for acceptance. How about that?"
“It won’t be enough just for one year.”
"Then five years. In the next five years, I can guarantee that my order volume will not be lower than this number." He made a slap gesture.
This is five hundred thousand. He is truly a big client. No wonder Tian Meizhi has been thinking about him for two years.
Jin Yue finally agreed, "Okay, this is what you said, I believe you are a businessman who is honest, I will help you check the disease first, you can go to Tian Meizhi for the contract tomorrow."
Wang Matt immediately sat down in front of Shu Jinyue and stretched out his hand, "Hey, take a look."
Jin Yue actually had a clue in his mind, but he still took her pulse and said, "The pulse is still the same. I only ask you two questions, and you just need to answer truthfully."
"Okay, just ask."
"First, are you not good at sex?"
Wang Matt's monkey face immediately turned red like a monkey's butt, "What are you talking about? I didn't... I didn't... I'm very good!"
Who is Shu Jinyue? This reaction says it all. In the words of Tian Meizhi, men are superficial animals. Once they become adults, they care about two things the most: money and sexual ability. Jinyue once met a 70-year-old man with a cane who came to see a doctor for impotence and needed a nanny to help him walk. Family members and wives all have to take a back seat when it comes to these two things.
Especially for those who have a lot of money, they will care more about another "shortcoming".
"Just answer truthfully. There's no one else here, so no third person will know."
Wang Matt originally wanted to argue, but Shu Jinyue's aura was too strong, and the words "Don't lie to me" were written on her face. When he thought about it, the reason why he wasted so much time was because he didn't tell her the truth. Miss Tian said that if she had told Jin Yue the truth last time, Jin Yue would have been able to cure his illness. Why would she have to go around and be a sucker?
"yes."
"Okay, the second thing is, you just need to tell me if you have had a hidden illness that no one knows about for many years."
"Yes." He narrowed his eyes and put away his usual frivolous attitude. "Can I ask how you knew that?"
The reason why this is called a hidden disease is that he is the only one in the world who knows about it, not even his ex-wife and children. The origin of this hidden disease is also a secret.
But he has been in the business world for many years, and there is definitely more to him than meets the eye. This time, he really has a new respect for Shu Jinyue. "Doctor Shu, why don't you continue to talk about my 'hidden disease'?"
"Sweating."
Wang Matt's expression remained unchanged, but his hands on the kang table were slightly clenched into fists.
Shu Jinyue pretended not to see it and continued to point at his belly button. "You sweat for no apparent reason below your belly button, especially when the weather is hot, you wear a lot of clothes, and when you are emotional, right?"
Wang Matt's eyes trembled rapidly a few times, "Yes, that's right."
Why did Shu Jinyue know? In addition to the pulse, the rich businessman in Grandma Hu's book was in the same situation as him.
"So, I speculate that you are not really incapable. Your kidney pulse is actually fine. Judging from your hair and physical signs, your sex hormone levels are fine, in Western medicine terms. It's not really incapable, but a psychological problem."
Wang Matt's eyes lit up, "You mean, not only can my blood pressure go down, but my sexual ability will also be fine, right?"
Jin Yue nodded, "Of course, after all, my age is here. It is definitely impossible to imagine myself as I was in my twenties, but it is not to the point where I can't use it."
"Think carefully, after the onset of this hidden disease, did you suspect that you had a bad smell and disliked contact with the opposite sex? Later, something else may have happened that made you insecure about relationships and afraid of it. Your wife may have divorced you because of this, right?"
Wang Matt could no longer use the word "shocked" to describe his inner feelings. He could guarantee that he had never told anyone about these mental journeys, even when he was drunk. It was impossible for Shu Jinyue to start with the people around him. The only explanation was -
She really got the information by taking the pulse!
No wonder her face says “Don’t lie to me”, because she might really know which words the person in front of her says are true and which are false!
Shu Jinyue didn't have time to care about what he thought. She was sure that Wang Mate's situation was exactly the same as what Hu's ancestors had encountered. She just had to follow his example and quickly wrote down a prescription. "Go get the medicine. The sooner you take it, the better. There's still hope for recovery."
The only difference is that man was born with the condition, so he is infertile, but Wang Matt was born with the condition and has had children. But these are no longer important, so Jin Yue didn’t mention them.
Wang Matt's confidence was suddenly boosted. Now even if Shu Jinyue said that he could go to heaven and earth, he would believe it and really felt that he had that ability.
"Then the consultation fee and medicine fee..."
"You can go to the clinic tomorrow to make up for the consultation fee. Bring the prescription and we'll calculate the medicine fee."
Wang Matt left happily and full of expectations, and Shu Jinyue yawned twice.
Why did she feel so tired from this flight? I clearly took a nap on the plane, but I was yawning all the way back.
Xu Duan was in the old house. He had just finished distributing the gifts to everyone when Shu Linong came to the living room with two bowls of noodles. "Dumplings when going out and noodles when coming home. Come on, Jinyue Xiaoxu, come and eat."
Shu Wenming came over to take a look and sniffed, "Oh, it's eel noodles. We don't have this kind of treatment."
Now that Qian Chunhua is pregnant, all the fish and shrimp caught by Sun Dalong are eaten by her and the child. There is no extra to send to the Shu family. If the Shu family wants to eat eel noodles, they have to go to the market to buy them.
"Your father went to the south to buy them. Last night, he heard that you were coming back today, so he asked Old Man Tian to take him there at around 4:00 in the morning. He said that if we went too late, they might not be fresh."
Jin Yue was deeply touched, "Dad, you are busy enough every day, why do you get up so early? Can't you sleep a little longer?"
Xu Duan gave her the smaller bowl and ate the larger bowl himself.
Who knew that when Jin Yue just took it and smelled the eel, he suddenly felt a surge of gas in his stomach...
