Hearing the commotion outside, Chen Qingqing walked out of Jishetang with a sullen face.
She ignored the doctor and walked straight up to the man's family.
"The patient is out of danger, but he needs to stay in the clinic for three more days of observation. Once he wakes up, you can discuss it and decide which one of you can go in and take a look."
"Miracle doctor, thank you so much for saving my son's life..." Upon hearing this, the old woman knelt down before Chen Qingqing with a thud, and instructed the two children beside her, "Quickly kneel down and kowtow to your benefactor..."
"No need, no need, get up quickly. Saving lives is my duty, please get up." Chen Qingqing hurriedly reached out to help the old lady up.
After recovering from his shock, Physician Miao loudly questioned, "Impossible! Such a severe injury is impossible to heal."
Chen Qingqing frowned. She didn't think she had offended Doctor Miao, but his words seemed to be targeting her at every turn.
She glared at him coldly and rebuked him sharply, "Doctor Miao, if you can't cure him, it means your medical skills are lacking. I can cure patients, but you are suspicious at every turn. What are you up to? Don't you want the seriously injured person to recover, or do you have some other motive?"
Physician Miao's face turned pale. "What, what ulterior motive could I possibly have? I was just stating the truth based on my years of medical experience. That patient's abdomen was ruptured and his intestines were spilling out; he was definitely going to die. How could I possibly cure him? Do you possess some kind of sorcery?!"
After Li An finished handling everything, he had just stepped out when he heard what Physician Miao said. His face immediately darkened. "Nonsense! Miss Chen's medical skills are superb. I have been helping her the whole time. I don't know what Physician Miao is referring to as sorcery?"
"Since it's not sorcery, would you dare let me in to see the patient?" Doctor Miao asked shamelessly.
He was genuinely curious about how they managed to inflict such severe injuries. Perhaps a single glance would reveal a glimpse of the secret and allow him to learn their methods for treating serious injuries.
Chen Qingqing could easily see through his intentions. She shook her head and chuckled, "Doctor Miao, you're slandering me like this just so you can go in and see how I treat patients? If I'm not mistaken, you're trying to steal my medical knowledge!"
Exposed in public, Physician Miao turned red with anger. "Nonsense! Stop spouting nonsense! I was just concerned about the patient, that's all."
Chen Qingqing looked coldly at Doctor Miao. "You dare to spread rumors and offend me? Then you won't get away with this either."
Without hesitation, she approached Doctor Miao, her gaze piercing and her demeanor righteous.
"Really? I didn't realize that Physician Miao was such a responsible person. Since you have such medical ethics, why did you insist that the patient couldn't be saved?"
You want to go in and check on the patients I cured? What are you really up to?
In my opinion, you're just jealous that my medical skills are superior to yours, and that my Jishetang business is better than your Huichuntang's. That's why you're spouting nonsense.
I now have serious doubts about your character. Have you abandoned all moral principles in your pursuit of money?
"If people can't afford medical treatment, will you just stand by and watch them die in agony? Doesn't your conscience bother you?"
As soon as Chen Qingqing finished speaking, Miao Langzhong received a wave of disdainful looks.
The onlookers began to speak up.
"Dr. Chen, you're absolutely right. Huichuntang only makes money through unscrupulous means and doesn't care about the lives of its patients at all."
"Yes, my mother fell seriously ill in the middle of the night two years ago. I went to Huichuntang for treatment, but because I had no money, the doctor refused to make a house call, which caused my mother to miss her treatment and pass away."
“My son had a fever once and went to Huichuntang for treatment. He took five taels of silver worth of medicine, but it kept recurring and he just wouldn’t get better. Later, we went to another clinic and he got better after spending ten coins. Now that I’ve heard what you’ve said, I understand now. He must have done it on purpose.”
...
More and more doubts and condemnations arose. Doctor Miao's face turned ashen; he glared fiercely at Chen Qingqing.
"Don't twist the facts and smear me. You're saying this just to prevent me from going into the house to check on the patient. Now I'm questioning whether the patient in the house is still alive. If you're not guilty, why don't you dare let me check on him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, all eyes turned to Chen Qingqing.
“Doctor Chen, what he said makes sense. If you’re not guilty, why don’t you let him in to take a look?”
"Yes, let him see, the rumors will be dispelled, and no one will doubt your medical skills anymore."
“There was someone in our village who was injured like this before, and he really couldn’t have survived. Since you’ve cured the patient, let Doctor Miao take a look. It can’t be that bad.”
"Exactly, facts speak louder than anything else."
Hearing what everyone said, a smug look flashed in Doctor Miao's eyes.
Chen Qingqing did not argue with him; facts speak louder than words.
At this moment, Xiao Wu hurriedly came to Chen Qingqing's side, "Master, the patient has woken up and wants to see his family."
"Okay, let the family in now." Chen Qingqing said, then added, "Remember, the patient can't eat anything for now. If he has a fever, wipe his armpits with alcohol."
"Master, I understand." Xiao Wu replied and turned back.
Chen Qingqing's gaze fell on Doctor Miao. "Since you want to see him, then go in with the patient's family, but you can't linger."
"Alright, I'll just take a look and then leave." Doctor Miao walked into Jishetang and changed into a strange and unusual set of clothes.
Ang Lee sprayed him with alcohol disinfectant from head to toe before taking him into the operating room.
Upon seeing the man lying on the hospital bed, Physician Miao was instantly flustered. The man, who had been pale, now had a slight blush on his face.
He quickly checked the man's pulse and found it to be steady and strong, indicating that he had already regained his vitality.
Her eyes widened leisurely as she looked at the man's treated wound on his leg.
I was completely shocked by this treatment method. I didn't know that wounds could be stitched up. But what exactly is used to stitch up wounds?
He tried to get a closer look, but Li An blocked his view.
"Dr. Miao, you've finished examining the patient, please come in!"
Seeing Li An's gesture of shooing people away, Physician Miao smiled awkwardly. He knew he couldn't check up closely, so he could only turn around and leave dejectedly.
Seeing that her son was safe and sound, the old lady obediently left without staying and followed Dr. Miao out of the operating room.
The onlookers, seeing Doctor Miao emerge, were eager to know if the patient was truly out of danger.
It's as if the people lying inside have some kind of close relationship with them.
The old lady smiled and said, "Everyone, there's no need to ask anymore. My son is cured. This Miss Chen is truly a miracle doctor!"
"I knew it! Doctor Chen could even cure Master Fan's itchy disease, how could he be lying?"
"We've been tricked by Physician Miao. He's just jealous of Jishetang's good business, so he's slandering people."
“That’s right. From now on, when we need to see a doctor, we should come directly to Jishetang. We can’t go to Huichuntang and get ripped off again.”
Hearing the cacophony of voices, Physician Miao dared not argue any further and slunk away with his head down...
