Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 68

Lü Tian was a wealthy man, so he paid without any hesitation.

He even asked while scanning the code, “Dr. Qin, you’re sure you’re using the best medicine for me, right?”

“Don’t try to save money on my medication. Just use the absolute best stuff you have.”

“Enough talk. Just scan the code.”

Lü Tian quickly nodded.

“Right away, right away.”

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 Gum Inflammation Powder]

Another reward, just like that?

Qin Jiang couldn’t help but glance at Lü Tian.

It seemed this Boss Lü was his lucky charm.

Generally, rewards weren’t guaranteed just because a payment was made.

For instance, he hadn’t gotten one for treating the young, boyish man earlier.

“Go lie down on the bed over there. I’ll get my acupuncture needles.”

“Remember, you need to come here for acupuncture once every three days. Six sessions make up one treatment cycle.”

“Three cycles, combined with the medicine, should cure your condition.”

True to his businessman nature, Lü Tian worried he might forget.

He immediately recorded a voice memo and set a reminder on his phone.

This illness had plagued him for too long. Being able to get rid of it sooner would lift a huge weight off his mind.

After applying the acupuncture needles to Lü Tian, Qin Jiang went into the pharmacy to prepare the sterilization patches.

These patches looked similar to ordinary medicated plasters, but they were round, about three inches in diameter.

After making a few, figuring it would be enough, Qin Jiang took them out and handed them to Lü Tian.

“Find someone to help you apply these when you get home. Keep them on for three consecutive days, and you’ll be fine.”

When the time was about right, Qin Jiang removed the needles from Lü Tian.

Lü Tian stood up and moved his arm around, surprised to find the numbness in his right arm was actually gone.

Overjoyed, Lü Tian expressed his thanks profusely.

“Thank you, Dr. Qin! Don’t worry, from now on, if any of my friends have so much as a headache or a fever, I’ll send them all to you!”

He hurried out of the clinic with his medicine, but returned a short while later carrying two cases of liquor.

Without asking if Qin Jiang even drank, he set the two cases down in the courtyard.

“Dr. Qin, this is a small token of my appreciation. You must accept it. Thank you!”

After Lü Tian left, Qin Jiang went over to take a look.

Wow, this was the good stuff—each bottle cost thousands.

This Boss Lü’s business must be doing really well!

No wonder he could be the ‘top donor’.

While others might think the top donor was a fool with too much money, in reality, the money he tipped was probably just pocket change to him. He wouldn’t even feel it.

“I’ll find a chance to sell these later.”

Hearing this, Liu Yan and the cameraman behind her were speechless.

Someone gives you two cases of premium liquor, and your first thought is to sell them? Typical you, you penny-pincher.

Just as Qin Jiang moved the two cases into the storeroom, a group of over ten people filed into the clinic, creating quite a commotion.

A man in a brown polo shirt led the group, followed by a crowd of onlookers, accompanied by a reporter.

Qin Jiang’s heart sank.

This scene felt familiar.

Was it the ‘special powers’ thing again?

Sure enough, when the reporter holding a microphone saw Qin Jiang, she walked over proactively and greeted him warmly.

“Hello, Dr. Qin. I’ve heard so much about you. My name is Zhuang Zhong, a reporter from the Life Channel.”

“I’ve been watching your live streams, and I’m truly impressed by your medical skills.”

Qin Jiang nodded.

“Which one of you needs a consultation?”

Zhuang Zhong gestured with her eyes towards the man in the brown polo shirt.

“His name is Luo Hao. He’s someone with a unique talent that our Life Channel discovered.”

“Dr. Qin, we were hoping you could examine him. We want to know if he truly has a special ability, or if there’s some underlying health issue.”

Qin Jiang felt a headache coming on.

Special powers again.

People who believed they had special abilities were the most troublesome patients. Often, they weren’t actually ill, making it very difficult to determine what was really going on.

Luo Hao looked refined and polite, somewhat educated.

“Hello, Dr. Qin. I’ve explained this many times already. It’s not an illness, and it’s not a special power. It’s Qigong. But they still don’t believe me and insisted on bringing me to see you.”

“My apologies for the trouble, Dr. Qin.”

Seeing Luo Hao being so polite, Qin Jiang’s impression of him improved.

“It’s fine. Whether it’s a special power or Qigong, it’s roughly the same.”

“Have a seat. Tell me about your situation.”

Zhuang Zhong encouraged from the side, “Luo Hao, don’t hold back. Show Dr. Qin what you can do.”

Qin Jiang was just about to ask how he could ‘show him’ while sitting.

Suddenly, blood started trickling from Luo Hao’s mouth, startling Qin Jiang.

“Whoa! Quick, get some paper! Don’t let it drip on my desk!”

Luo Hao, looking confused, took the paper Qin Jiang handed him.

Qin Jiang’s reaction didn’t seem quite right.

He was startled, but not by the sudden bleeding. He was worried about the blood dripping on his desk.

This doctor… felt a bit off, not quite following the usual script.

Zhuang Zhong looked pleased.

“So, Dr. Qin, what do you think? This is Luo Hao’s special ability: he can spit blood anytime, anywhere.”

Qin Jiang was not impressed.

“What’s so special about being able to spit blood on command? Even if it is a special ability, it’s completely useless.”

“Also, do you have any idea how dirty blood is? Spitting it around so casually is very inconsiderate.”

The smile froze on Zhuang Zhong’s face; it took her a moment to process this.

Wow, so that was Qin Jiang’s main concern?

Shouldn’t you be asking why Luo Hao is spitting blood?

What happened to ‘compassion for patients’!

Initially, when Luo Hao demonstrated, he was also looking forward to Qin Jiang’s reaction.

After all, everyone has some vanity, and whether it was a special power or Qigong, it made Luo Hao seem unique.

He never expected Qin Jiang to basically ignore him.

This was a blow to Luo Hao’s pride.

Then, hearing Qin Jiang say that spitting blood on command was useless, Luo Hao immediately became defensive.

“Dr. Qin, being able to spit blood anytime is actually quite useful.”

“For example, if someone hits me, or if I get hit by a car, I can immediately spit blood. I’d scare them to death. Isn’t that pretty effective?”

Qin Jiang was dumbfounded by Luo Hao’s reasoning.

The netizens in the live stream burst out laughing.

“Gotta admit, that is the ultimate skill for faking injuries. If used well, you could easily make over ten thousand a month.”

“Over ten thousand? Try over a hundred thousand, at least!”

“There are truly unique talents among the people. Practicing Qigong to the point where you can spit blood on command… isn’t that like ‘Qi deviation’?”

“You have to admit, the amount of blood is pretty shocking. It’s just like those seriously injured characters in TV dramas—the blood just gushes out.”

“True. It gives the impression of being both copious and… reliably consistent.”
