Chapter 423: Medical Treatment Incident
The man frowned, obviously feeling somewhat repulsed.
Yes, in the eyes of the world, having children is a woman’s business, and not being able to have children is the woman’s fault.
Although the old doctor's words were euphemistic, his meaning was clear.
After careful consideration, the man placed his arm on the pulse pillow.
Doctor Yang looked at him approvingly.
That's right! If you want to have a child, both parties have to work hard.
He placed his fingers on the man's wrist.
The man was very confident about his health. After all, the imperial physician always checked his pulse. If there was any problem, the imperial physician should have told him long ago.
But the old doctor was reluctant to let go of the man's pulse, and he gradually became uneasy.
When he looked up and saw the old doctor's frown, his heart sank. Could there really be something wrong with his body?
No wonder, apart from the Queen giving birth to a princess and Concubine Lian giving birth to a prince, there has been no other births in the harem in the past few years.
The imperial doctors are really... great!
You dare to lie about his illness? You must be tired of living, right?
The old doctor's pulse-taking fingers finally left his wrist. He also looked at his tongue coating and even flipped over his eyelids.
In the end, no diagnosis was given.
The old doctor seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally asked hesitantly: "How many children do you have in your family?"
"Does this have anything to do with my body?" the man asked puzzled.
Doctor Yang: "This depends on whether you still need treatment."
"I have a son and a daughter."
Doctor Yang heaved a visibly relieved sigh and said:
"Since you already have a successor, don't worry too much about it."
The man refused: "What disease can I have?"
Doctor Yang moved his mouth a few times but said nothing, looking very embarrassed.
The man frowned and scolded impatiently:
"Why are you hesitating like that? Just tell me what you have diagnosed. I won't blame you."
Doctor Yang scratched behind his ears with his fingers, trying to explain:
"That is to say, there is a kind of grass...if eaten by mistake, it may cause kidney deficiency and soreness in the waist and knees.
I usually get tired easily, have night sweats, feel thirsty... and if I accidentally take an overdose, I might have trouble having children... He..."
The man stood up excitedly and asked in a low voice: "Are you saying that I am poisoned?"
Doctor Yang quickly waved his hand to signal him to shut up:
"That... can't be said... What if it was accidentally ingested? Besides, my diagnosis may be inaccurate. After all, this... is not very common."
"How did you diagnose it as uncommon? What kind of grass is that? Do you have it in your clinic?"
Doctor Yang was anxious: "No, that's not what I meant. I am a doctor and I have seen many herbs. Generally speaking, poisonous herbs can also cure diseases and save lives if used properly.
Our clinic has never sold anything that could harm people...don't talk nonsense.
As for how I knew it...it's a long story, but I learned it by chance. Since it concerns offspring, I paid close attention to it.
Besides, I also said that my diagnosis might not be correct, why don’t you find someone else to take a look?”
Doctor Yang gave an incoherent explanation and in panic he regretted his meddling. It was obvious that this man had a bad temper and he was afraid that he would cause trouble for the clinic.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but the man immediately turned hostile upon hearing this:
“Misdiagnosis?! You are so brave!” How dare you misdiagnose such a thing?
It's a trick!
When the medicine boy saw that the situation was not good, he immediately went out to report.
When Lu Xiangsheng came in, he saw Doctor Yang comforting a patient with a painful look on his face.
He was still trying to explain: "I shouldn't have said too much. Many doctors don't talk about this kind of thing because they are afraid of bringing disaster to themselves.
I couldn't bear to lie to you, so I told you the truth. Instead of being grateful, you are now blaming me for it!"
The man was immersed in the annoyance of being drugged and didn't listen to Doctor Yang's explanation at all. He wanted to take the doctor away and find out who had harmed him.
Lu Xiangsheng blocked the door and asked with a smile: "What's going on? Why are you so anxious when you are treating a patient?"
Just as Doctor Yang was about to speak, Lu Xiangsheng stopped him with a look.
He continued, "My dear sir, the doctors in our Jishitang are all well-known for their kindness. When the epidemic was serious, it was us old doctors who risked our lives to guard this place and keep the land and water peaceful.
The people here, whether rich or poor, have all taken medicine from our Jishidiang and received the benefits of our Jishidiang.
So I'm kindly reminding you that if you act like a spoiled child here, you'll be asking for trouble."
Lu Xiangsheng believed that this man was here to cause trouble, so he was not polite at all.
The man narrowed his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"
Lu Xiangsheng sneered: "You were the first to make trouble. May I ask if your illness is caused by our clinic? What are you trying to do by blackmailing our doctors?"
The man glared: "Did I blackmail him? What did I blackmail him about?"
Lu Xiangsheng: "So what are you doing now?"
The man said angrily, "He said I accidentally ate poisonous grass, but he was hesitant and refused to explain clearly, and he wanted to push me to another doctor. Shouldn't he be held accountable?"
Lu Xiangsheng: "Master Yang, what's going on?"
Doctor Yang was filled with regret: "I shouldn't have been nosy. I diagnosed that he seemed to have traces of Wujiang grass in his body, and he and his wife hadn't had any children in recent years, so I concluded that he might have been poisoned by Wujiang grass.
You know, anything involving poisonous herbs might involve domestic conflicts. We are just doctors and don't want to get involved in other people's bedroom affairs, which may easily bring us trouble.
Besides, I can't say that my diagnosis is necessarily correct. Let him go to another doctor. Maybe my diagnosis is wrong?"
Lu Xiangsheng understood, defended his doctor, and said to the man:
"What's the problem? Your condition is special, so it's always right for us doctors to be cautious. If you don't want to go to another clinic, I'll find a few doctors to consult you."
The man sat down and said calmly: "Okay, I'll go to your Jishiditang for treatment." He didn't believe others!
Doctor Yang was like a child who had done something wrong. He stood aside and said to Lu Xiangsheng guiltily, "Asheng, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." He was already an old doctor, how could he make such a mistake that would bring disaster to the clinic!
How could Lu Xiangsheng blame him? These old doctors had watched him grow up from birth, and no one left him when Jishidiang was in the most difficult times.
Except for his biological father who has passed away, these old gentlemen are his living fathers!
Smiling and comforting him: "It's okay, leave it to me."
Lu Xiangsheng asked the medicine boy to invite the other old gentlemen in.
When he opened the door of the clinic, the scene in the lobby was right under the man's eyes. The pharmacist didn't say a word except to ask for help.
People were invited to examine the patient one by one.
It is to show him that our Jishidiang is open and honest, without any trickery!
