Chapter 233 The doctor's art is benevolent.
interesting.
Two women arrived; one said she had no money, while the other said she had money.
Two extremes.
The idea is the same.
I'm afraid she won't treat me.
The doctor, who was about a meter away, looked at Lu Qingqing and coughed a few times.
Lu Qingqing turned her head and said, "Don't cough at me! Your mouth is full of viruses!"
Dr. Pang shrank back, his cough subsiding.
Dr. Huang and Dr. Sun, who had been blinking frantically, stopped blinking and turned their heads to continue examining patients.
In Dabozi Village, they had experienced Lu Qingqing's ferocity firsthand.
If anyone speaks ill of a woman, she can beat their mouth to a pulp!
I dare not stop them, I really dare not stop them.
Lu Qingqing said to the astonished woman:
"Please sit down. We are offering free medical consultations now. You can buy medicine at any clinic later."
The woman glanced at the doctors around her who were no longer looking in their direction, and her eyes lit up.
But she didn't sit down.
She asked, "What if I want to buy medicine from the doctor?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, quite sweet.
She had a strong scent of perfume, but beneath that perfume was a faint, unpleasant fishy smell. Lu Qingqing's nose was sharper than a dog's... ugh!
"Sure, I don't have a clinic. I'm a village doctor in Liuyun Village, Changle Town, forty miles east of the city. You can get your medicine there."
However, my medicines are different from those in other clinics; many are made into powders and pills, so they are more expensive than decoctions.
The woman was caught off guard.
Seeing that Lu Qingqing was sitting in the head seat and had just scolded Doctor Pang, she assumed that Lu Qingqing was a relative of the county magistrate. She never expected that Lu Qingqing was just a village doctor.
"I have money, please have a doctor treat me."
The woman reached out her hand.
Her slender, white wrists revealed bluish veins and faint bruises.
The woman hurriedly pulled down her sleeves to cover herself.
Lu Qingqing took his pulse and said, "Besides qi deficiency and blood deficiency, I can't find anything else. I don't think this is what you need to see. Let's go to Liuyun Village for treatment another day. We can't do the examination here."
The woman withdrew her hand, looked at Lu Qingqing for a long while, and said softly, "Okay, I... I will..."
"That woman is Hong Shiliu, a hostess from Chunxiang Pavilion! And that female doctor, don't treat her for her venereal disease!"
A man's shout from the other end interrupted the woman's words, and her hand trembled.
His eyes showed panic, then despair, and finally anger.
She turned around and looked at the doctor across from her who was shouting.
Her eyes were fierce, but her voice was deliberately sweet and cloying.
"You rascal! Who do you think I am? No wonder you recognized me, you're a guest you've served before!"
Doctor, have you been unable to forget me all this time?
"You shameless prostitute! What nonsense are you spouting! Who has ever been to Chunxiang House!"
The man spat and cursed:
"Who doesn't know what kind of scum you are? You got stripped naked and beaten by a real woman on the street. Everyone in the city has seen your ugly face!"
This is the Yellow Emperor Temple, a sacred place for healers. We do not tolerate such filthy people as you here. Get out!
The people around her started jeering, some spitting, others making comments about the woman's entire body.
"You're a bad woman, get out of here—" The youngest son of the woman selling herbal tea also joined in the cursing.
He even threw the plum pit he had finished eating at the woman.
The male doctor sneered, "Did you hear that? Even a child knows you're a filthy thing! You think you can hide your face and no one will recognize you? The magistrate is coming out soon, so get out of here!"
The woman was clearly no longer as energetic as before, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
The reason this male doctor humiliated her in public was because she had visited his clinic a few days ago and he recognized her, so he considered it bad luck and chased her away.
She was both angry and upset, and she cursed at the door.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have been so quick to speak that day.
Now, even the only naive young female doctor knows who she is.
We will no longer provide her with medical treatment.
"Doctor, I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble. I won't be going to Liuyun Village."
The woman put down a piece of silver, thought for a moment, and then picked it up again.
This dirty silver will also dirty other people's places.
"Sigh..." Lu Qingqing sighed deeply.
He slammed his hands on the table and stood up.
"It's been quite a while since I've stretched my muscles, and I'm a little itchy."
The woman took a step back, her gaze wary.
This female doctor is dressed as an unmarried woman. She probably hasn't served her husband before, so why does it look like she's about to hit her?
Dr. Huang and Dr. Sun straightened their backs, their eyes gleaming.
They're going to hit someone! They're going to hit someone!
Someone's going to be in trouble!
Physician Pang stood up abruptly: "Master, would you like your apprentice to do it for me?"
Lu Qingqing: "Get out of the way, this is none of your business. Don't interfere with my process of expelling the turbid energy from my body."
"Yes, yes, please let me know if you need anything."
The woman and everyone else seeing doctors around them were stunned. Had they misheard? What did Dr. Pang just shout?
You heard it backwards.
This female doctor must be Dr. Pang's apprentice!
Absolutely!
Lu Qingqing picked up the apple core she had finished eating from the ground, swung it around, and threw it away.
It was thrown at the male doctor's face.
The male doctor cried out "Ah!", his aloof demeanor shattered, and a smear of mud appeared on his mouth.
"Ha, you're the filthy one!"
Lu Qingqing clapped her hands and walked over.
Everyone was stunned, and the surrounding noise disappeared.
Dozens of eyes stared at Lu Qingqing in disbelief.
The male doctor vigorously wiped the mud off his face, feeling both ashamed and indignant.
She shouted angrily, "What are you doing? I'm just trying to warn you, but you don't know what's good for you. Don't think you can bully people just because you have connections with the county magistrate. Do you even have a medical license? Do you own a clinic? Do you really think you're a legitimate female doctor?"
"Hehe, you're right."
She has connections with the county magistrate, so she's not afraid of not having a medical license. She can do whatever she wants in Ming'an County!
She'll be able to roam the whole country with impunity from now on!
Lu Qingqing grabbed the male doctor's collar.
"What are you doing...?"
"Clap clap clap—!"
After three slaps, the male doctor's eyes went unfocused and his face swelled up.
The doctor who had wanted to help earlier covered his face and stepped back.
Lu Qingqing has connections with the county magistrate; they all saw the officials standing with her, so they dared not approach her now.
Even if we went up there, we couldn't win.
This woman is too fierce!
Everyone around them gaped, their jaws dropping.
Just then, a firecracker went off inside the temple with a "bang," followed by a series of crackling sounds.
The sacrificial ceremony has ended.
"The magistrate is coming out!" someone shouted.
"The county should... the silver..." the male doctor mumbled incoherently.
He thought Lu Qingqing would let it go, but to his surprise, she pushed away the dazed male doctor, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.
Then came the powerful, resonant words, each one a gem:
"Who do you think you are? It's none of your business who I treat!"
"You still have the nerve to mention the Yellow Emperor Temple, a sacred place for healers? What kind of healer are you? Who did you learn from? Did you even report to the Heavenly Ancestor of Medicine before you entered the sect?"
The Yellow Emperor said: Medicine is a benevolent art!
Without virtue, there is no skill!
The Buddhist teachings state that all beings are equal and compassion is fundamental. This applies to doctors as well; they should treat patients like family and feel deep compassion.
Qi Bo said: Regardless of social status or wealth, everyone should be treated equally. To show favoritism is not the way of a superior physician!
Mingxian was willing to risk his life to save patients in critical situations; his love for life was no different from that of humans and animals!
And you, on the day of the Heavenly Physician Festival, in front of the Yellow Emperor Temple, openly disobeyed the teachings of the Patriarch of Medicine, wantonly humiliating patients, showing no morality or ethics!
How could I possibly be worthy of being a doctor?!
