“What do you mean, there’s something wrong with me? No manners at all. Who taught you to talk like that?”
It was clear that the old lady and her granddaughter had a very good relationship. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t joke around like this.
The granddaughter said with a smile, “Okay, okay, I’m the one with something wrong, happy now?”
Qin Jiang first had them all swipe their ID cards, then glanced at the identity information displayed on the computer.
The old lady’s name was Zeng Guifang, and her husband’s name was Hao Quanyou.
Strangely enough, their granddaughter was named Zeng Lanna, and the man standing beside her was her granddaughters husband, named Shao Ru.
Qin Jiang first looked at the granddaughter, then asked, “Your name is Zeng Lanna?”
Before Zeng Lanna could say anything, Zeng Guifang spoke up first.
“That’s right, her name is Zeng Lanna. Is there a problem?”
Qin Jiang said calmly, “No problem. Just confirming.”
“Which one of you is here to see the doctor?”
Zeng Lanna wanted Zeng Guifang to go first, but who knew Zeng Guifang would say, “This doctor is too young. If he wants to treat me, he first has to prove he’s got the skills.”
“Old Hao, you go first. Let him take a look at you.”
Hearing Zeng Guifang say this, Hao Quanyou quickly nodded with a smile and sat down in front of the consultation desk.
“Dr. Qin, then you can take a look at me first.”
“Alright.”
Qin Jiang was a doctor. He didn’t pick and choose his patients.
After getting Hao Quanyou seated properly, Qin Jiang spoke up and asked, “Sir, where do you feel unwell?”
Hao Quanyou said, “Lately I’ve been feeling a bit uncomfortable in my stomach. It hurts quite a bit.”
“How’s your appetite? Do you feel like eating?” Qin Jiang asked.
Hao Quanyou thought for a moment, then answered, “My appetite is actually pretty good. It just hurts after I eat. But if I don’t eat, I feel hungry.”
Qin Jiang nodded, indicating that he understood.
“Come on, sir, put your hand up here so I can take your pulse.”
Hao Quanyou placed his hand on the pulse pillow. Qin Jiang reached over and placed his fingers on it, and his brows immediately furrowed.
“Sir, you’ve got quite a few problems here.”
Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Zeng Guifang, who was standing nearby, immediately gave a contemptuous laugh.
“See, I told you this doctor is young and inexperienced. Who doesn’t know that my Old Hao is famous for being a health-keeping old man?”
“If he’s got a lot of problems, then other people might as well not even bother living.”
Health-keeping old man?
This was the first time Qin Jiang had ever heard that term.
He asked with a smile, “Is that so? The old man keeps up with his health often?”
Hearing Qin Jiang ask this, Hao Quanyou looked a bit proud.
“Yes, I regularly practice health preservation. Young doctor, it’s not that I have a problem with you. I just want to say that I actually know a thing or two about traditional Chinese medicine knowledge.”
“The old men and women in our neighborhood, when they sometimes feel unwell, they even come to me for help.”
Qin Jiang was amused and teased with a smile, “Then I’ve run into a colleague here.”
When the viewers in the livestream saw how confident Hao Quanyou was, they all started laughing too.
“This old man doesn’t actually think he’s good, does he?”
“So real. This old man is exactly like my grandpa. My grandpa is the same. He thinks he knows everything. When he goes to the hospital, he even discusses his condition with the doctor, and the doctor is just left speechless.”
“I remember the last person who was this cocky was that food streamer, right?”
“Daring to say he knows a bit of medicine in front of Dr. Qin. This old man is invincible.”
That’s how it is when people get old. They always want to keep contributing.
It’s a very strange psychological state.
When they’re young, they don’t want to strive. Most people just want to lie flat and be content as long as they can eat, drink, and have fun.
But when they get old, when life is nearing its end, they always want to do something to attract attention, and ideally leave their name in history.
The Hao Quanyou in front of them was undoubtedly of this mindset.
Maybe he hadn’t done anything remarkable when he was young.
But when he got old, he always wanted to seem capable.
However, Qin Jiang didn’t call him out on it. Instead, he smiled and asked, “So how does the old man usually keep up with his health? Can you tell me about it?”
Qin Jiang was just asking normally, but to Hao Quanyou, it sounded like he was asking for advice.
Hao Quanyou immediately felt his vanity being satisfied.
He glanced proudly at his granddaughter and grandson-in-law. The meaning was already obvious.
Even a proper traditional Chinese medicine doctor like Qin Jiang wanted to ask him for advice. See that? How amazing am I?
Hao Quanyou cleared his throat and said, “Actually, I normally don’t easily tell others about my health-keeping methods.”
“I have a few students who follow me to learn these things, and they all have to pay.”
“But since you’re so sincere, I’ll tell you. Just consider it an exchange between colleagues.”
Zou Moli was amused on the side.
This old man really treated himself as Qin Jiang’s colleague.
Hao Quanyou said mysteriously, “Actually, health preservation is very simple. The first secret of my health regimen is that you absolutely must supplement vitamins properly.”
Hao Quanyou said with a serious face, “A lot of young people nowadays have poor health and weak immune systems. Why?”
“It’s because they don’t supplement enough vitamins, which leads to low immunity.”
“Vitamins are the ammunition for the immune system. If you don’t replenish enough ammunition, how do you expect the immune system to fight? Don’t you think that makes sense?”
“So every day I eat all kinds of citrus fruits and lemons to supplement vitamins. I also drink effervescent tablets, three cups a day. I’ve kept this up for almost a year.”
As he spoke, Hao Quanyou took out a tube of vitamin effervescent tablets from his bag to show Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang nodded.
“I see. Old man, do you remember you just told me about your stomach pain?”
“I remember.”
“Now we’ve found the reason. It’s from eating these things.”
Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Hao Quanyou was stunned at first, then immediately shook his head.
“Impossible. What I’m taking is vitamins, not some random junk.”
“These things are what my body needs. How could they possibly cause my stomach pain?”
Qin Jiang directly stated his diagnosis.
“Your stomach hurts because you have a gastric ulcer. If you don’t believe me, we can go in later and do a full checkup. Once the test report comes out, you’ll know whether I’m right or not.”
“And the reason for your gastric ulcer is long-term excessive supplementation of these vitamins, especially vitamin C.”
“You’ve probably also been experiencing acid reflux recently, haven’t you?”
“What reflux?” Hao Quanyou was already confused by what Qin Jiang was saying.
Hao Quanyou knew some basic medical常识, but once it came to professional terms, he was at a loss.
Qin Jiang patiently explained, “It’s stomach acid. Sometimes it surges right up into your throat, giving you a burning sensation.”
“Especially when you’re sleeping at night, you suddenly get choked awake by stomach acid. That’s happened to you, hasn’t it?”
As soon as Qin Jiang said this, the expressions on both Hao Quanyou’s and Zeng Guifang’s faces became unnatural.
