Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 67

Jin Yu gasped in shock.

She never expected Qin Jiang to be this sharp—using just a pulse diagnosis and a few seafood shopping lists, he could deduce so much.

Is detective your side hustle or something?

The one most taken aback was the young, boyish man.

Even he, as clueless as he was, finally understood what kind of live streams Jin Yu actually did.

It seemed everything Lü Tian had said earlier was right.

Even he, someone who considered himself pretty open-minded, found Jin Yu’s usual playthings downright perverse.

Lü Tian patted the young man’s shoulder and said with a laugh, “Don’t take it so hard, kid.”

“It’s normal to struggle with it at first, but you’ll get used to it eventually.”

The young man’s face turned ashen.

Jin Yu clasped her hands together, pleading urgently.

“Please, Dr. Qin, no more. I admit I was wrong.”

“Just prescribe the medicine, okay?”

Qin Jiang nodded.

“Fine, I’ll write the prescription then.”

He pointed to the QR code on the table.

“Twenty thousand. Go ahead and pay.”

“How much?!”

Jin Yu’s voice was shrill, and she looked at Qin Jiang as if she’d seen a ghost.

“Twenty thousand for a consultation? That’s absolutely outrageous!”

The young man also spoke up, “Yeah, one of my friends had syphilis before, and he only spent two thousand in total. How come it’s twenty thousand here?”

Qin Jiang glanced at him.

“Are you paying for your treatment separately?”

The young man immediately shut his mouth.

He relied on his looks for a living; he didn’t have that kind of money.

But Jin Yu was still unsatisfied.

“Even if you’re treating him too, that should only be around four thousand, right? How can you possibly charge me twenty thousand?”

Qin Jiang’s expression remained neutral.

“Because that twenty thousand also covers the cost for your other condition.”

“Compared to syphilis, your other issue is actually more serious.”

The young man wanted to argue further, but Jin Yu suddenly seemed to realize something. She quickly stopped him and scanned the QR code to pay.

Ding.

[System detected that the host was straightforward with the patient, revealing the patient’s private illness, greatly assisting the patient. Task complete.]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Divine-Grade Sterilization Stick.]

Seeing the system reward arrive, Qin Jiang nodded in satisfaction.

He wasn’t particularly short on money these days.

What he needed were these system rewards.

After the payment went through, Jin Yu, her face flushed with embarrassment, looked at Qin Jiang and asked, “Dr. Qin, you said I have another illness… Can you cure it?”

“Since you’ve already paid, of course I can.”

Qin Jiang went back into the pharmacy and soon returned with two bags of herbal medicine—one for Jin Yu and one for the young man.

“Take the medicine as instructed on the labels. No sexual activity during the treatment period, or the infection will get worse.”

Seeing that Qin Jiang had prescribed medicine for him without any examination, the young man was indignant.

“You didn’t even check my pulse! How do you know what’s wrong with me?”

Qin Jiang gave him a dismissive look.

“Your overall health is fine. Aside from the fungal infection and syphilis, there’s nothing else.”

The young man was stunned. This is what he called fine health?

But what was this about a fungal infection?!

“Doctor, explain yourself. What fungal infection?”

Jin Yu tugged at his hand.

“Alright, that’s enough. Just take the medicine if the doctor says so. Why ask so many questions?”

As a straightforward traditional doctor, Qin Jiang decided to clarify.

“It’s not a serious condition—just Candida vaginitis.”

“Both men and women can get this. If one person has it, it’s easy to cross-infect. So, no sexual activity during treatment; otherwise, no amount of medicine will help.”

As he said this, Qin Jiang took out the Divine-Grade Sterilization Stick, wrapped in a black plastic bag.

“Miss Jin Yu, this is for your personal use. The instructions are inside the bag.”

The moment the netizens in the live stream saw that cylindrical object wrapped so tightly, they lost it.

“No way, does he give out toys with consultations? Dr. Qin is getting more and more outrageous.”

“Could it possibly be a tool for treatment?”

“What kind of reputable tool looks like that? This is too much.”

“Hahaha, wrapping it in a black plastic bag is fine, but did you have to wrap it so tightly? You’re just making it more obvious! This is hilarious.”

“This woman is terrifying. She’s riddled with diseases—basically a walking virus repository.”

“Don’t just blame the woman. Look at that Lü Tian; he’s got plenty of issues too.”

“Just curious, asking for a friend: Is the thing Dr. Qin gave her waterproof?”

“The waterproof team is on point, very impressive.”

Jin Yu was too embarrassed to stay any longer.

She thanked Qin Jiang, then took the medicine and the sterilization stick and hurried away.

As soon as Jin Yu and the young man left, Lü Tian immediately scurried over.

Lü Tian grinned obsequiously.

“Dr. Qin, I looked you up online just now. I had no idea you were this amazing!”

“I’m decent, I suppose.”

Lü Tian’s expression turned even more fawning.

“Dr. Qin, if you can cure my problems, I’ll renovate your clinic for you!”

Lü Tian had plenty of money and liked to flaunt it.

Qin Jiang was amused.

He wasn’t exactly short on cash these days, but who would say no to more?

“Put your hand here. I’ll check your pulse.”

“Sure, sure!”

Lü Tian quickly placed his hand on the pulse pillow.

His physical condition was mostly as Qin Jiang had expected.

But soon, Qin Jiang noticed something new.

“Lately, have you been feeling… very itchy?”

Lü Tian’s face changed.

“You’re a miracle worker, Dr. Qin! You can even tell that?”

Lü Tian was thrilled.

“Dr. Qin, to be honest, don’t be fooled by how much money I make every day. I’ve actually been troubled by two things.”

“First, this syphilis. I feel like mine is different from what other people get. It’s seriously affecting my life—the pain goes right down to my bones.”

Qin Jiang gave a direct diagnosis.

“You have neurosyphilis. The treatment was delayed, so it’s already in the late stages. The impact is quite severe now.”

“If it continues like this, the best-case scenario is paralysis; the worst-case is damage to the central nervous system, turning you into a vegetable.”

Lü Tian was terrified.

He didn’t want to be paralyzed or become a vegetable.

Seeing Lü Tian’s pale face, Qin Jiang reassured him, “Don’t worry. I can treat this with acupuncture. No need to panic.”

“Now, tell me about your second problem.”

Lü Tian smiled awkwardly.

“This second issue isn’t really a big deal, but I just can’t seem to get rid of it.”

“It’s around my… back passage. I keep getting rashes there, and it’s unbearably itchy.”

“You see, I’m a respectable man. I can’t just scratch it when I’m out and about. It’s really uncomfortable.”

Qin Jiang shook his head.

This guy, spreading germs everywhere, still had the nerve to call himself “respectable.”

“Alright, scan the code. Thirty-five thousand. That’s the price for one treatment cycle.”
