Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 63

“Yes, and it’s quite serious.”

Qin Jiang’s blunt reply made Jin Yu blush intensely.

But then it occurred to her: Qin Jiang had learned all this just by taking her pulse. Didn’t that prove he was highly skilled?

Thinking this, she asked with a reddened face, “Doctor, if I were to get treatment here, how… how would you treat me?”

“No, absolutely not!”

Before Qin Jiang could even respond, the Puppy-dog Guy was already panicking.

“Jin Yu, he’s a male doctor! How can you let him examine you for that kind of illness? I don’t agree!”

Jin Yu shot him a withering look.

“Wasn’t it a female nurse who applied your medicine last time you went to get a circumcision?”

The Puppy-dog Guy was immediately embarrassed.

“That’s completely different! There were only female nurses at that hospital! But gynecologists aren’t all male doctors!”

“Besides,” he said, puffing out his chest righteously, “my relationship with those nurses was purely professional! I didn’t have any improper thoughts about them at all!”

He sounded so principled that even Qin Jiang couldn’t help but look at him with respect.

Who knew he would be exposed by his girlfriend in the very next second.

“Oh, really? Then how did you end up popping your stitches later?”

The Puppy-dog Guy looked even more awkward.

“I… I accidentally rolled over in my sleep and tugged on them.”

“Really? I heard you popped them while a nurse was disinfecting you, and you bled all over her face.”

As soon as Jin Yu said this, the live stream chat exploded with laughter.

“Hahaha, this kills me! This guy is something else!”

“Hey, dude laughing so hard upstairs, is it because you’ve never had a circumcision?”

“Anyone who’s had one knows how awful that period is. The more you mentally tell yourself not to think about that, the more likely it is to happen.”

“I have a buddy who scrolled through Douyin every day after his surgery. Ended up staying in the hospital for two months and still didn’t get discharged.”

“I actually think the procedure itself hurts more. When I got mine, the doctor didn’t use anesthesia. My screams could be heard throughout the entire hospital.”

“You gotta be kidding me, bro. They don’t use anesthesia for that? What kind of back-alley clinic did you go to?”

“What back-alley clinic? Lots of major hospitals don’t use anesthesia either. It can affect the nerves, especially in that area.”

Liu Yan, who had been watching the live stream, saw these comments flooding the screen and her eyes lit up with curiosity.

So boys have this surgery when they’re young?
She really hadn’t known that before.

It sounds incredibly painful.

But even after reading all these comments, the innocent Liu Yan still couldn’t understand why the Puppy-dog Guy popped his stitches when the female nurse was applying his medicine.

Was it because the nurse wasn’t skilled?

Knowing he was in the wrong, the Puppy-dog Guy resorted to petulance.

“Men and women are completely different!”

“Even if I was seen naked, it’s no loss for me. But if you’re seen naked, you’d be at a huge disadvantage!”

Jin Yu glanced at Qin Jiang and said, “I think Dr. Qin is very handsome, he’s my type. So I wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.”

Hearing this, Qin Jiang coughed lightly and quickly urged Jin Yu to keep it down. After all, he made his living by his skills, not his looks.

“So, Miss Jin Yu, are you sure you want to receive treatment here?”

Jin Yu nodded.

“I’m sure, Dr. Qin. I trust your medical skills.”

As she said this, she secretly threw a flirtatious glance his way.

Qin Jiang shivered. He had a feeling this woman was trouble.

“In that case, let’s first treat your shingles.”

Qin Jiang went into the pharmacy and soon returned with over ten packets of Chinese herbal medicine, placing them on the table.

“Shingles, ultimately, stems from a weak constitution and lowered immunity.”

“These herbs are for strengthening your foundational health. Take them home, brew them daily according to the instructions on my note, and make sure not to stop.”

“Also, make time for exercise. Get more movement. Don’t stay cooped up at home all day.”

Seeing so much medicine, Jin Yu immediately made a bitter face.

“Dr. Qin, I’ve never liked drinking herbal medicine since I was a child. It’s too bitter.”

“I asked around before, and people said there are folk remedies for shingles.”

“Maybe we could try a folk remedy?”

Qin Jiang’s mouth twitched.

Talking about trying folk remedies in front of a Chinese medicine practitioner was like searching WebMD in front of a Western doctor.

It was a direct challenge.

“Alright, what folk remedies do you know about?”

“Like using fire to cauterize it.”

Jin Yu’s eyes lit up.

“I heard from my mom that in their generation, if someone got shingles, they would light a stick of incense and use it to burn the head and the tail of the ‘snake’.”

“After doing that, the snake would stop growing.”

“As long as the snake doesn’t form a complete circle around the body, you’ll be fine.”

Jin Yu said this with absolute certainty, as if she deeply believed in this remedy.

“Okay, wait a moment, I’ll go get a stick of incense.”

A short while later, Qin Jiang returned holding a stick of incense.

Seeing the incense in his hand, Jin Yu’s face instantly changed.

Holy crap, that’s one thick stick of incense!

“Dr. Qin,” she said, her voice trembling, “don’t you have any… thinner incense?”

“Nope. Everything in my clinic is thick.”

“So, do you still want to try the folk remedy?”

Jin Yu immediately waved her hands.

“No, no! I’ll drink the herbal medicine!”

Was he kidding? Getting burned with a lit incense stick that thick would probably send her straight to heaven.
She was here to see a doctor, not to be tortured.

“Alright, the shingles are settled. Let’s continue discussing your… other condition.”

Jin Yu gave a red-faced ‘mm-hmm’ and stood up proactively.

“Dr. Qin, should we go over there? I’ll let you examine me after we draw the curtains.”

The moment Jin Yu said this, the live stream chat went wild.

“Holy crap, this is epic!”

“I didn’t know being a doctor came with perks like this! I should’ve become a gynecologist!”

“Are you serious? The seniors in my medical school are all trying to switch careers, and you want to jump into this pit?”

“Actual gynecologist here. Let me just say, you’re still too naive. You might think it’s taking advantage at first, but believe me, after you’ve seen enough patients, you’ll be sick of it.”

“Let me put it this way: Before I became a gynecologist, I ate four bowls of rice a meal and weighed 210 lbs. After one year on the job, I ate one bowl a day and now I’m down to 99 lbs.”

“The guy upstairs sounds like a senior. It’s true. No matter how nice the body, once it’s diseased, who knows what it might look like.”

“Alright, everyone stop arguing. Let’s see how Dr. Qin handles this.”
