Hearing that the surgery had been a success, Yang Yan immediately expressed her gratitude to Qin Jiang.
“Thank you, Dr. Qin. We will remember your great kindness for the rest of our lives.”
Qin Jiang waved his hand.
“No need to be so polite. Treating illnesses and saving lives is what I should do. Just remember, from now on, don’t misuse antibiotics.”
“Maintain a healthy daily routine—go to bed early and wake up early. If you can stick to regular exercise, that’ll do you more good than any medicine you could take.”
Yang Yan nodded repeatedly, promising that she would.
Soon, nurses from another hospital came in and took Meng Yu, who was still lying on the hospital bed, away.
After the couple left, Liu Yan sighed beside him, “I can’t believe there are such strange illnesses in this world. It’s mind-boggling.”
Meng Yu’s case had completely expanded Liu Yan’s understanding of common diseases.
While recording the case notes, Qin Jiang said, “The human body is a remarkably delicate structure. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, health is essentially a state of balance between yin and yang.”
“So whether there’s too much yin and not enough yang, or too much yang and not enough yin, that balance gets disrupted, and the body starts having problems.”
“And once the body runs into trouble, it triggers a whole chain reaction of issues.”
“Meng Yu is a classic example.”
In the beginning, Meng Yu had simply taken the easy way out whenever he caught a cold or had a fever—he’d just get a shot.
Then, because of the overuse of antibiotics, his immunity weakened, and the balance of his gut flora was thrown off, which led to his prolonged state of intoxication.
And in that intoxicated state, new symptoms emerged, further deteriorating his health.
So taking care of your body is actually quite difficult.
Sometimes, all it takes to make you sick is staying up just one extra hour at night, or having one extra barbecue meal.
To borrow the words of Liu Bei: “Do not neglect small good deeds, and do not commit small wrongdoings.”
Just as Qin Jiang finished writing up the case notes, a woman who was bundled up from head to toe walked in from outside.
She wore a sun hat and sunglasses, looking extremely cautious.
When she noticed there were cameras in the clinic, she instinctively stopped in her tracks.
“You’re live-streaming here—you’ll blur my face, right?”
Qin Jiang smiled and said, “Don’t worry. To protect our patients’ privacy, we not only blur faces but also alter the patient’s voice.”
“If you don’t want your identity revealed, you can use a pseudonym.”
Hearing that, the woman let out a sigh of relief and nodded with reassurance.
She walked over to the consultation table, sat down, and swiped her ID card.
When Liu Yan and Zou Moli saw her name, their eyes widened in surprise.
They hadn’t expected their patient to be a celebrity.
Seeing Qin Jiang looking at her, the woman volunteered, “Dr. Qin, just call me Su Ya.”
Su Ya was, of course, a fake name—not even her stage name.
Qin Jiang nodded.
“Miss Su, what seems to be the problem?”
Su Ya blushed and said, “I… I tend to sweat a lot. I’ve been like this since I was a kid, and I’ve never been able to cure it.”
“I saw online that you’re a really skilled doctor, so I thought I’d come and give it a try.”
Hearing that, the netizens in the live stream didn’t take it seriously.
“What’s wrong with sweating? Pretty girls are so dramatic.”
“For a guy, it might not be a big deal, but for a woman, it definitely is.”
“I sweat a lot too, and honestly, it’s pretty embarrassing. My clothes are damp all year round, especially in summer—I don’t even dare to go out.”
“So dramatic. Go to a construction site in summer and see how many people aren’t sweating.”
The netizens all thought Su Ya was being overly sensitive. Why bother coming all the way to Qin Jiang for something like this? Couldn’t she leave Qin Jiang for people who really needed him?
But Qin Jiang didn’t see it that way.
As long as someone has an illness, they’re his patient. A doctor doesn’t get to pick and choose who to treat.
“Miss Su, could you show me specifically?”
“Sure.”
Right in front of Qin Jiang, Su Ya took off her gloves.
With a casual twist of her hand, a stream of water actually dripped out of the gloves.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
That much sweat? No way, right?!
Even Zou Moli couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Su, did you soak these gloves in water before you came?”
Su Ya smiled bitterly. “No, I put these on right as I was leaving the house. I use them to keep my hand sweat from getting on other people.”
“And I actually carry several pairs of these quick-dry gloves with me so I can swap them out whenever I need to.”
Hearing that, Zou Moli was skeptical.
Could anyone really sweat that much?
After just a few words, Su Ya suddenly felt parched.
She said to Qin Jiang, “Dr. Qin, do you have any water here? I’m a bit thirsty—I’d like to drink something.”
“Yes, we do.”
Qin Jiang quickly took out a paper cup and poured her some Shengmai Yin (a traditional Chinese herbal drink).
But to everyone’s surprise, despite her refined appearance, Su Ya drank in big gulps.
She downed the entire cup in one go.
Holding the empty cup, she looked at Qin Jiang awkwardly and said, “Dr. Qin, I… could I have a little more?”
Qin Jiang pushed the thermos of Shengmai Yin toward her.
“Go ahead, drink as much as you want. If it’s not enough, I can make more.”
“Thank you, Dr. Qin.”
Su Ya didn’t hold back. She lifted the thermos and started pouring herself cup after cup.
In no time, the entire thermos was empty.
Liu Yan’s eyes went wide.
That thermos holds at least a liter of liquid! And she finished it all in under two minutes?
While Su Ya was drinking, Qin Jiang had been observing her closely.
He noticed that in just those two minutes, Su Ya’s body had already started secreting a large amount of sweat.
A huge damp patch had already appeared on her clothes, especially in areas prone to sweating, like her armpits—they were so wet it looked like water was about to drip off!
Only after finishing the entire thermos did Su Ya let out a long, relieved breath, looking visibly relaxed.
She explained apologetically, “Dr. Qin, I not only sweat a lot, but I also drink a lot of water.”
“I feel like I’m in a desert—if I go too long without water, I feel like I might actually die of thirst.”
Hearing that, Qin Jiang frowned.
“If you really feel that way, then your condition is already quite serious.”
“The human body has its own regulatory system that controls how much external substance we take in through self-regulation.”
“Whether it’s water or nutrients, intake should be moderate. In fact, consuming too much water can even lead to water intoxication.”
