Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 22

“Huh?”

Liao Fei almost thought he had misheard.

“Dr. Qin, are you sure this ointment patch can be applied… there?”

Although Liao Fei didn’t know exactly what kind of medicated plaster Qin Jiang was holding, the sight of the black, gooey patch with what seemed to be bits of leaves in it made him hesitate.

Liu Fang sneered from the side.

“This is the first time I’ve ever heard of anyone daring to put a plaster there.”

“Liao Fei, it’s not too late to back out now. Once that plaster goes on, whether you’ll still be able to function as a man might become a real question.”

While Liu Fang’s words were unpleasant, they held a grain of truth.

It’s like how you can rub Tiger Balm almost anywhere, but try putting a drop there?

Sensitive areas are sensitive areas; they require special care. A method like Qin Jiang’s, applying a plaster directly, was downright outrageous.

Qin Jiang tossed the plaster into Liao Fei’s hand, not bothering to persuade him further.

“Suit yourself.”

After saying this, Qin Jiang drew the curtain around his bed.

Then, Qin Jiang turned his gaze to Liu Fang.

“Are you here for a consultation? If not, please leave. You’re quite an eyesore standing there.”

The moment Qin Jiang said this, his fans rallied in support.

“My man, Brother Qin, telling it like it is!”

“I’ve been wanting to shut this woman up too; she’s been making snide remarks the whole time, so annoying.”

“I’m a doctor too, but I wouldn’t dare talk to a patient like that. One complaint and my bonus for the month is gone.”

Hearing Qin Jiang’s bluntness, Liu Fang instinctively flared up with anger. But after a moment’s thought, she came up with a better plan.

Liu Fang took out her phone, scanned the QR code, and paid 30,000 yuan.

Qin Jiang frowned. “What’s the meaning of this?”

“For a consultation,” Liu Fang said boldly, sitting down at the diagnosis table.

“You just said I was sick, didn’t you? I’ve thought it over. Since you say I’m sick, then treat me. I want to see just how skilled you really are.”

Qin Jiang smirked coldly. “You think I’ll treat you just because you say so? Sorry, I’m busy.”

“You!”

Liu Fang hadn’t expected Qin Jiang to refuse a patient!

But quickly, she figured out a solution. She took out her phone and scanned another 30,000 yuan.

Qin Jiang’s frown deepened. “What kind of person do you take me for? You think just because you offer more money, I have to treat you?”

The live stream audience cheered, feeling Qin Jiang had backbone!

Beep.

Liu Fang scanned another 30,000 yuan.

Qin Jiang stared at Liu Fang for a moment, then broke into a smile.

“Miss Liu, you read people like a book!”

Liu Yan: “…”

The audience: “…”

What happened to integrity!

What happened to principles!

Of course, Qin Jiang didn’t care about such vague concepts. If a fool was willing to pay a high price for a consultation, and it could even trigger his system rewards, why wouldn’t he treat her?

“Miss Liu, where do you feel unwell?”

Liu Fang looked at Qin Jiang with disdain. “Aren’t you the doctor? If I knew what was wrong, why would I need to see you?”

Liu Fang was no fool; on the contrary, she was quite clever. If she just criticized Qin Jiang as a bystander, it would be just that – criticism, causing him no real trouble. But if she criticized him as his patient, that was different. Especially since she had just paid 90,000 yuan. If Qin Jiang couldn’t give her a satisfactory answer, she could report him to the health department with a flick of her wrist, and his clinic would be shut down immediately.

At this moment, Liu Fang was very pleased with herself, convinced Qin Jiang had fallen into her trap. She was sure to win.

But just then, Qin Jiang suddenly spoke up. “Miss Liu, have you been experiencing some issues with urinary or fecal incontinence lately?”

Liu Fang: !!!

Seeing Qin Jiang’s serious expression, Liu Fang panicked.

“I… I haven’t! What nonsense are you spouting? This is slander! I could sue you!”

Her stammered rebuttal was weak and ineffective.

Fans in the live stream couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hahaha, serves you right for provoking Dr. Qin. Now you know his skills!”

“If it were me, I’d just turn and leave. This is so embarrassing!”

“Having that kind of problem at such a young age… what to do about the future.”

Seeing Liu Fang’s strong reaction, Qin Jiang knew he had hit the mark.

“Miss Liu, if you want to get better, you must cooperate with me and tell the truth. Now, please place your hand here. I need to check your pulse.”

Liu Fang’s initial impulse was to get angry and leave immediately. But after calming down, she realized Qin Jiang was actually right. She did have issues with incontinence.

Did this doctor actually have some skill?

Fine, she’d give him one more chance. The moment he said anything wrong, she would report him immediately!

Composing herself, Liu Fang placed her hand on the diagnosis table.

But just then, a miserable scream came from behind Qin Jiang – from Liao Fei.

The scream was truly pitiful. Even though they couldn’t see what was happening behind the curtain, they knew Liao Fei had finally mustered the resolve to apply the plaster.

Liu Fang grew worried. “Dr. Qin, what’s wrong with my boyfriend? Aren’t you going to check on him?”

Without turning around, Qin Jiang spoke to Liao Fei, “Young man, if you want to recover quickly, keep it on properly and don’t peel it off. It will indeed be a bit painful. Just bear with it.”

Liao Fei was in too much pain to reply, still screaming. But he heard Qin Jiang’s words and resisted the urge to tear the plaster off.

After instructing Liao Fei, Qin Jiang placed his fingers on Liu Fang’s wrist to take her pulse.

“Miss Liu, have you been feeling a lot of pain in your lower back recently?”

Liu Fang was taken aback, then nodded quickly. “Yes, my lower back hurts terribly. After work every day, it feels like it’s about to break.”

“But when I went to the hospital before, the doctor said it was a herniated disc. That shouldn’t be a big issue, right?”

Qin Jiang explained, “A herniated disc itself isn’t a major illness. But if the herniation is compressing the nerves, then it becomes a serious problem.”

“Miss Liu, have you been feeling weakness in your legs recently? After strenuous activity, do you often feel unsteady on your feet?”

Liu Fang’s face instantly turned red.

Liao Fei was a sports major, naturally physically strong. Combined with his youthful vigor, Liu Fang often found herself exhausted and breathless. Under those circumstances, wasn’t it normal for her legs to feel weak and unsteady?

Seeing her expression, Qin Jiang knew she had misunderstood.

He quickly clarified, “I mean, after any strenuous activity – like climbing stairs, running, things like that – do your legs feel weak and unsteady?”

Liu Fang paused, then found herself nodding. “It does seem that way.”

Qin Jiang continued, “Then, when you’re… intimate with your boyfriend, do you find him… underwhelming? Unable to satisfy you?”

As soon as Qin Jiang said this, the screaming from the sickbed stopped. Liao Fei was now listening intently.

Liu Fang glared at Qin Jiang angrily. “What kind of question is that! What does it have to do with my condition?”
