Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 52

Di Renjie wasn’t nervous at first.

But for some reason, when he saw that professional fake smile on Qin Jiang’s face, he had to admit he started to feel a little panicked.

Then he took another look at the live stream chat, and now he was seriously freaking out.

Could this Dr. Qin guy really figure something out?

No, that’s impossible. He’s so young, he probably doesn’t have much skill.

Di Renjie placed his hand on the table. Qin Jiang felt his pulse, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed.

But Di Renjie wasn’t worried at all. He even thought Qin Jiang was frowning because he couldn’t identify the problem, leading him to sigh inwardly:

Hey, this young Qin is still too green, probably just graduated. Maybe he knows less than I do.

Thinking this, Di Renjie confidently asked, “So, Dr. Qin? Is it just a slight deficiency of qi and blood, like I said?”

“I told you, it’s just a little…”

Before Di Renjie could finish his sentence, Qin Jiang interrupted him. “You have a bit of kidney yin deficiency.”

The smile froze on Di Renjie’s face.

He can tell even that?

But Old Di’s mouth was still stubborn.

“Kidney deficiency? That doesn’t seem likely, does it?”

Noticing his two assistants looking at him strangely, Old Di coughed. “Must be my age showing. But when I was young, I was quite vigorous…”

Qin Jiang interrupted his spell-casting again: “Even when you were young, it was probably just about the length of one song.”

Hiss!

Di Renjie drew a sharp breath.

This Dr. Qin really knows his stuff.

In the live stream, the fans were already howling with laughter.

“Hahaha, Old Di, serves you right for running your mouth! Got your spell interrupted, didn’t you?”

“Garen building a Whisper—silenced and armor-shredded.”

“So that’s what ‘the length of one song’ means. Noted, noted.”

“Hey, the person above, I’m also a ‘one song’ guy, but my song is The King of Love Songs.”

Di Renjie’s face turned bright red.

He finally understood why Qin Jiang had so many fans.

This is truly socially devastating!

Fortunately, Di Renjie was a streamer and had pretty thick skin.

Seeing that Qin Jiang genuinely had skill, he stopped worrying about saving face and quickly asked:

“Dr. Qin, so do you think my condition is serious?”

Qin Jiang shook his head.

“It’s not serious. I’ll prescribe you some traditional Chinese medicine later to help regulate your body. That should do it.”

Di Renjie still wasn’t entirely convinced.

“Are there any other issues with my body?”

Qin Jiang still shook his head.

“No. Aside from the kidney deficiency, you’re fine.”

Di Renjie’s expression became a bit more awkward.

He hadn’t expected the kidney deficiency topic to be inescapable.

To be honest, Qin Jiang had initially thought Di Renjie would have bigger problems.

After all, the guy was quite overweight; he should at least have the three highs [hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia], right?

But after checking his pulse, he discovered that Di Renjie’s health was actually not bad.

Which meant… the one with the real problem must be the male assistant.

Qin Jiang turned his gaze to the male assistant and smiled.

“Young man, how about you sit down and let me check you out?”

Suddenly being called out by Qin Jiang, the male assistant was stunned.

The live stream chat lit up again.

“Hahaha, Dr. Qin is calling on him personally! Seems like this assistant has some major issues!”

“Never really saw the assistant’s face clearly before. Now’s our chance to see what he actually looks like.”

“Silly boy, run! Getting a diagnosis from Dr. Qin is social suicide!”

The male assistant noticed that when Qin Jiang pointed him out, the live stream viewer count went up quite a bit.

He felt a bit happy; after all, the stream’s popularity was directly tied to his pay.

If the audience was happy watching, then sacrificing a little of his own dignity was nothing.

Thinking this, the male assistant proactively sat down opposite Qin Jiang.

He said with great confidence:

“Old Di is middle-aged, so it’s normal for him to be a bit deficient. But I’m different. I exercise every day.”

After saying this, the assistant even lifted his shirt, revealing his four-pack abs.

Judging by his appearance, the male assistant did look very healthy.

Well-proportioned figure, smooth skin, no dark circles under his eyes, and he seemed in good spirits.

But looking good on the outside doesn’t necessarily mean everything is fine inside.

“Alright, put your hand here too. Let me take a careful look.”

Since the assistant was so confidently walking into this, Qin Jiang would oblige him.

The male assistant confidently placed his hand on the table.

The moment Qin Jiang felt his pulse, the look in his eyes immediately turned strange.

Seeing Qin Jiang’s expression, the male assistant grew nervous.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Qin Jiang didn’t mince words: “Your pulse isn’t as strong as Old Di’s.”

“Huh?”

The male assistant turned to stone.

He thought he was plenty strong, which was why he’d dared to ask for the check-up.

But now Qin Jiang was saying he wasn’t even as strong as Di Renjie?

The fans in the live stream spammed the chat again.

“666, this guy is something else. He really goes for the social suicide!”

“Even more deficient than Old Di? Does that mean he doesn’t even last a whole song?”

“So, ladies, see the lesson here? Having abs doesn’t mean anything. Lasting power is the real key to a happy life!”

Seeing so many mocking comments, the male assistant started to lose his composure.

“Dr. Qin, you must be mistaken, right? I’ve always been plenty strong!”

The male assistant was ready to defend his dignity to the death.

But Qin Jiang just sighed. “Look at you, you silly kid, always like this…”

Before he could finish, Qin Jiang made a new discovery.

He spoke sternly, like a disappointed parent: “Cut down on watching that stuff! All those messy, disreputable videos!”

The male assistant fell silent.

“Did you hear me?”

The guilty assistant could only mumble a quiet “Mhm.”

Maybe feeling he’d lost face, the assistant added, “I often stay up late working, you know.”

Who knew Qin Jiang wouldn’t buy that excuse? He continued sternly, “Staying up late is one thing, but just stop watching those for now!”

The assistant immediately backed down: “Okay, okay, I understand, Dr. Qin.”

But inside, he was nearly breaking down.

Please, just move on to the next issue! So many people are watching!

Who knew Qin Jiang’s next line would be an even bigger critical hit.

“And definitely stop using your hand!”

Male Assistant: “……”

“Do you urinate frequently? Feel the need to go right after drinking water?”

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Yes, frequent urination.”

“Need to get up once or twice at night to urinate, right?”

The assistant inexplicably felt justified. “More than that. Sometimes I feel like I need to go again right after I just went.”

“Dry mouth, bitter taste, correct?”

The assistant answered with increasing confidence. “Yes, that’s all correct.”

He breathed an internal sigh of relief.

As long as we’re not talking about that aspect, I’m fine.

But the next second, Qin Jiang delivered another critical blow.

“You think eating all those fish oils, proteins, and other nutritious stuff can make up for it?”

“It won’t! You absolutely have to quit [the habit], understand?”

The male assistant turned to stone again.

He became a wooden dummy who could only answer “Mhm.”

After a long pause, the assistant asked apprehensively:
“So, Dr. Qin, these should be my only problems, right?”

Who knew Qin Jiang would shake his head.

“Those are just minor issues. Your biggest problem isn’t any of those.”

The assistant was dumbfounded.

After all that, these were just minor issues?

Did that mean he was practically finished!
