Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 70

As soon as Qin Jiang said this, the netizens couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Hahaha, so it was gum bleeding all along? I’m dying of laughter.”
“Actually, I guessed it was gum bleeding too, I just didn’t expect the volume to be so… impressive.”
“Special ability? More like a fantasy before gum necrosis sets in.”
“I was wondering how he could ‘suck blood’ without breaking the skin. Turns out it was his own blood all along.”
“Quick, look at that reporter’s face! It’s darker than the bottom of a pot.”
“That’s our Dr. Qin for you! Took the money, but didn’t play their game. So straightforward!”

He felt awful.
He wanted to cry.

Luo Hao had been fully prepared to receive gasps of amazement and praise from Qin Jiang. Instead, he got a bland diagnosis of ‘gum bleeding’.

Furious, Luo Hao glared at Zhuang Zhong.
What’s going on? Didn’t you pay him enough?
I paid you to package me as a master, not to make me look like a clown!

Zhuang Zhong was also panicking.
What’s the deal here? He took the money, so why is he being so blunt?
“Dr. Qin, don’t you think this might be a misdiagnosis? With that much blood, it probably isn’t just gum bleeding, right?”

“Absolutely no chance it’s a misdiagnosis,” Qin Jiang said with complete confidence. “I just looked at his teeth. Swollen gums, severe tartar buildup, periodontitis—it’s all there.”
“Plus, I noticed the gaps between his teeth are unusually wide.”
“This indicates it’s not his first time doing this so-called ‘blood-sucking’ act. He must do it frequently, preventing the bleeding points from healing properly. Repeat this over and over, and naturally, he can spit large amounts of blood anytime, anywhere.”

Qin Jiang looked at Luo Hao. “Haven’t you been feeling dizzy, suffering from headaches, sleeping poorly at night, and feeling lightheaded when you stand up after using the bathroom recently?”

Luo Hao nodded subconsciously. “Yeah…”

Qin Jiang gave a ‘see, I told you so’ look. “Exactly. I said I wasn’t wrong, didn’t I?”
“He has severe anemia. The situation is quite dangerous already. I recommend you take him to a major hospital for a detailed physical examination.”
“Of course, you can get medication here if you want. I have plenty of blood-tonifying medicines, but the treatment cycle would be a bit longer.”

Having said that, Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the desk. “Don’t just stand there. Scan and pay. The consultation is 800. If you want the medicine, that’ll be an additional 3,000.”

Luo Hao felt like crying.
His plan was to spend a little money, ride on Qin Jiang’s popularity, and trend online.
Now look, the money was spent, and he’d ended up as the clown.

Zhuang Zhong was deeply dissatisfied. “Dr. Qin, what did you promise me when I gave you the money earlier?”

Qin Jiang was taken aback. “You told me to speak directly and stick to the facts, right? That’s exactly what I did.”

Zhuang Zhong: “…”
Now he understood.
Qin Jiang wasn’t playing dumb; he genuinely didn’t grasp the unspoken rules of the situation!
“Fine. Dr. Qin, you’re something else.”

Qin Jiang smiled slightly. “You’re welcome. Just doing my job.”

Zhuang Zhong couldn’t bear to stay any longer. He quickly left with the villagers.

Although Luo Hao also wanted to leave, his tooth problem had genuinely plagued him for years.
He pulled out his phone and paid the fee through gritted teeth.
Ding.

[Detected that the host spoke frankly to the patient, revealing the patient’s hidden ailment and providing significant help. Task Complete.]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Divine Detoxification Elixir Powder]

Qin Jiang glanced at the reward.
The Detoxification Elixir Powder was a remarkable TCM formula used for detoxification, known for its excellent effects.
However, after being passed down for so many years, many versions of the formula had appeared, and no one knew which one was the most correct.
Now, with this system-given version, just selling the recipe could make him a fortune.

“Dr. Qin, do you think my gum bleeding… can still be treated?”

Qin Jiang snapped back to reality and nodded at Luo Hao. “Wait here for a bit. I’ll prepare your medicine.”

Luo Hao waited obediently. Soon after, Qin Jiang came out with a bag of herbal medicine and a glass jar.
Qin Jiang pointed to several small paper packets. “This is Yaxuan Powder, used to stop bleeding. Apply a little to your teeth every day after brushing.”
“This glass jar contains toothpaste. Use a little on your teeth each time you brush; it will help remove tartar. Keep using it for a month, and your periodontitis should clear up.”

Luo Hao thanked him repeatedly. His tooth problem had bothered him for a long time.
“Dr. Qin, I have one more question for you.”
“Go ahead.”
“After getting up every day for breakfast, should I brush my teeth before or after eating?”

The question left Qin Jiang speechless.
Is this kid trying to trap me now?
“Brush before.”
“But what about not brushing after? Wouldn’t there be a lot of food residue?”
“Then brush after eating.”
“But eat without brushing first? That seems unhygienic.”

A vein throbbed at Qin Jiang’s temple. “Then why don’t you just brush both before and after eating?”

Luo Hao shook his head with a serious expression. “That won’t do. Dentists say brushing too frequently can damage the tooth enamel. It’s bad for the teeth.”

Dammit!
This guy is just here to pick a fight!

Quite annoyed, Qin Jiang said to Luo Hao, “I’m a TCM doctor, not a dentist.”
“How about this: go ask the dentist who treats your teeth when you’re supposed to brush them.”
“Dr. Qin…”
“If you don’t leave now, I’m getting my acupuncture needles.”

Luo Hao didn’t dare say another word and hurried away.

The live stream viewers were delighted.
“Hahaha, this is the first time I’ve seen Dr. Qin stumped!”
“The brushing question has really bothered me for a long time too. Too bad Dr. Qin didn’t answer it.”
“Is it possible that Dr. Qin also brushes whenever he feels like it and doesn’t care about before or after meals?”
“Brushing is mainly to remove dental plaque and tartar. So, before or after meals isn’t the main point. Brush when you feel your teeth are dirty. If you don’t feel they are, just rinsing your mouth before eating is fine too.”

Liu Yan hadn’t expected a simple brushing question to attract so much attention.
She couldn’t help but ask Qin Jiang, “Dr. Qin, generally, after you get up in the morning, do you brush your teeth first or eat first?”

Qin Jiang shot Liu Yan a look. “Why are you asking that too? Is this never-ending?”
Liu Yan batted her eyes, putting on a cute expression. “I just really want to know the answer.”

Qin Jiang sighed in resignation. “I usually start by vocalizing first when I get up.”

“Vocalizing?” Liu Yan didn’t understand.

Qin Jiang explained, “Heaven, Earth, and Humanity form a trinity.”
“When it’s dark and the world is still, it’s better for people to be quiet and rest, not active.”
“When the sky is bright and full of light, it’s better for people to be active, not still. So, it’s best to start by vocalizing and moving.”
“Making sounds can cause resonance in your internal organs. It’s one way to wake up your body.”

Liu Yan’s eyes lit up.
So that’s why she sometimes saw people by the river shouting loudly early in the morning.
