Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 7

Social death!
Total social death!

The woman, Sun Wei, cursed herself inwardly.

Sun Wei, oh Sun Wei, how could you do something so weird!

Now my face is completely lost!

Thinking this, she shot a fierce glare at her boyfriend, Wu Tong, who was standing nearby.

Wu Tong looked back, utterly clueless and innocent, having no idea what he’d done wrong.

Qin Jiang coughed, suppressing his own embarrassment, and continued forward with his index finger, gently prodding Sun Wei’s purple gum.

“Ouch!”

Sun Wei cried out in pain, tears welling in her eyes.

If Qin Jiang hadn’t pulled his hand back quickly, his finger might have been bitten clean off.

Viewers in the live stream were also exclaiming in amazement.

“Whoa, those are some strong chompers! That ‘click’ sound—I thought the streamer’s hand was done for.”

“Hey guys, is it just me, or does anyone else find her reaction… a bit strange?”

“Person above, I suspect you’re making a dirty joke, but I have no proof.”

Qin Jiang, a bit shaken, removed his glove and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Qin Jiang silent, Sun Wei wiped her tears and asked, “Doctor, what exactly is wrong with me? Do I need to have the tooth pulled?”

After the… finger examination, Qin Jiang actually had a pretty good idea.

He was just figuring out how to phrase it to spare Sun Wei some embarrassment.

Hearing her question, Qin Jiang countered, “What do you think is wrong?”

“Huh?”

Sun Wei was confused.

Is this doctor even competent? How can he ask me?
Ugh, young doctors are so unreliable.

Despite her internal complaints, she answered, “Maybe I’ve been eating too much spicy food lately?”

“My teeth never hurt before, but it started aching a bit after I had hot pot a few days ago.”

Seeing that Sun Wei was completely unaware of the real issue, Qin Jiang had no choice.

“Have you been passing gas frequently recently?”

“Huh?”

Sun Wei’s face flushed red with extreme awkwardness.

She instinctively glanced at the camera.

“Doctor, is this live? Can you blur my face?”

Qin Jiang looked at Liu Yan. Liu Yan gave him an OK sign.

On the screen, a mosaic indeed appeared.

However, it didn’t cover Sun Wei’s face; it covered her deep V-neckline.

Unaware of this, Sun Wei assumed her face was blurred and nodded, her face still red.

After all, she was a woman and had an image to maintain.

“Does it smell?” Qin Jiang continued.

“Huh?”

Sun Wei froze again. “Do you need to ask in such detail?”

Qin Jiang looked serious. “It’s related to your condition. I need you to answer me honestly.”

Sun Wei had no choice. She thought hard about the… scent, then whispered, “It should be… not smelly? Maybe even a little… fragrant?”

Qin Jiang directly noted on his chart: “It seems there’s an issue not just with your mouth, but also your sense of smell.”
Sun Wei was too embarrassed to speak further.

Yeah, even if you think your own gas smells nice, you shouldn’t just say it out loud!
“Stick out your tongue. Let me see your coating.”

Sun Wei obediently did so.

After looking, Qin Jiang said with a strange expression, “Stop putting random things in your mouth from now on.”

Wh… what?
Sun Wei felt like she’d been struck by lightning, sitting there completely petrified.

Fans in the live stream were howling with excitement.

“It’s here! It’s here! My favorite part is here!”

“Alright folks, guessing game! What did this young lady put in her mouth!”

The live chat exploded with comments, and this time, some big spenders even started sending gifts.

This was a phenomenon that had never happened before.

It meant Qin Jiang’s stream was gaining popularity, attracting more and more attention.

But Qin Jiang’s focus wasn’t on the stream; it was on Sun Wei.

Sun Wei forced a smile, trying to maintain the last shreds of her dignity.

“Doctor, what you’re saying… I don’t understand. I don’t usually put random things in my mouth.”

Qin Jiang scolded her like a stern elder: “Still being stubborn? Don’t you know what you ate last night?”

Sun Wei glanced guiltily at her boyfriend, Wu Tong.

Wu Tong directly looked up at the ceiling, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.

Sun Wei gritted her teeth in frustration.

If Wu Tong hadn’t pestered her every time, she never would have agreed!
Knowing she couldn’t talk her way out of this, Sun Wei could only resign herself to her fate.

“Hahaha, I’m dying! This streamer really says whatever’s on his mind!”

“First time in this stream, what’s happening?”

“Is this the legendary ‘tasting a little sweetness’?”

“Oh my god, this is so socially devastating! Girl, run! Run now before you die of embarrassment here!”

Qin Jiang’s question was both implied and blunt.

Even a professional like Liu Yan couldn’t help but laugh.

She was a pro; she usually didn’t break character, unless she couldn’t help it.

By now, Sun Wei’s face was as red as a monkey’s bottom.

She never expected a simple doctor’s visit would strip her of all privacy.

But things had already gone this far. If nothing else, it proved this doctor certainly had skill.

Gritting her teeth, Sun Wei asked, “Doctor, then… what exactly is my condition?”

Qin Jiang looked at Sun Wei with an extremely peculiar expression again.

Sun Wei’s heart sank. This couldn’t be good.

But she quickly comforted herself.

It can’t get more embarrassing than this, right?

Sun Wei took a deep breath. “Just say it directly, Doctor. I can take it.”

“No, I don’t think you can.”

Qin Jiang said, “The reason your tooth hurts is because your gums are infected with a fungus, leading to necrosis and inflammation of the nerve endings.”

“So, to treat it, we first need to kill the fungus in your mouth, then use anti-inflammatory medicine to control the gum inflammation and let it heal slowly on its own.”

Sun Wei’s face turned pale as the realization hit her.
