Chapter 381 - Shut Up, Idiot (1/2)

Chapter 381 Shut Up, Idiot“Uh… that…”

Those people looked at each other, seemingly surprised at Qin Haodong’s reaction.

They already had the plan that they would provoke the old man, Hua Zi’an. They believed that the hospital would eventually take their side during the confrontation. After all, many of them were well-educated doctors who had once studied overseas, and had been promoted as directors of their offices. They thought themselves to be the authority of their own fields, and the core of the hospital.

That was why they looked down on Chinese medicine practitioners, and they were trying to edge Chinese medicine practitioners out of the Guangren Hospital.

However, the situation had suddenly changed. The quick-tempered old man wasn’t there, and the young man present at that moment looked calmer than most old men. He didn’t react much to their successive provocations.

If two patients wouldn’t work, then they would wait for more patients to come. They wanted to play the game until Qin Haodong gave in. He wouldn’t be able to stick to it for long if they remained without patients.

At the moment, an old man in his sixties showed up at the door and asked, “I’m having a headache. Can anyone help me?”

Dong Kai immediately greeted him and asked, “Headache? You should go to western-medicine doctors for help. What are you here for?”

“I… I trust Chinese medicine. It can cure the root cause!” answered the old man.

“You’re so senile. Curing the root cause? That’s what they told you to take you in?” said Dong Kai, spittle flying. “A headache? There’s nothing Chinese medicine practitioners can do about it. Have you heard the story of Hua Tuo? He’s the ancient medical sage from legend, but he failed to cure his King’s headache and was thus sentenced to death. Do you really think Chinese medicine practitioners nowadays can treat you?”

“Well…”

The old man was hesitating, feeling Dong Kai’s words somehow made sense.

“Just go to the Neurology department and let them take a look. Headaches can be a big deal. What if you have a tumor? Early detection is good for the treatment.”

Dong Kai pushed the old man out of the TCM clinic. He turned back and looked at Qin Haodong with a smug look; however, Qin Haodong ignored him, sipping his tea leisurely.

“What the heck? The young man is such a pushover! Why isn’t he angry?”

Dong Kai thought to himself out of surprise, looking at Qin Haodong disdainfully.

Besides Dongkai, the two nurses sitting next to him also sneered at him. They thought to themselves that the young doctor was such a good-for-nothing. Dong Kai was insulting him so badly, but he didn’t even try to put up a fight.

“Doctor, please take a look at my son. What’s wrong with him?”

A woman in his fifties took a young man inside. Their clothes looked ragged, which indicated that they were from the bottom class of society.

Dong Kai came again and asked, “What happened to your son? What’s the problem?”

The old woman answered, “It began the day before yesterday, something’s wrong with his skin. His whole lower body turned dark and blue.”

Dong Kai said it again, “Then you should go to the western medicine doctors. They’re more professional in this regard. Traditional Chinese medicine is so not reliable. The director of the dermatology department of our hospital is here. I’ll invite him to come and take a look at your son.”

He turned back and pulled Director Zhang over; however, the old woman saw Director Zhang’s face and refused, “We met him yesterday. He sent us to the blood and urine tests. Nothing seemed to be wrong. It cost us 1000 yuan, more than what my son earns in half a month.”

Director Zhang had also recognized the old woman and her son. He said embarrassingly, “I’ve tried, ma’am. Your son’s disease isn’t all about his skin. There must be something else that has gone wrong.

“But rest assured. All the experts from the various departments of our hospital are here today. We can offer your son a joint consultation. We’ll definitely find the cause.”

Dong Kai nodded and said, “That’s right. Joint consultation is one of the biggest advantages of western medicine. They’ll all come and check on the young man.”

Those experts gathered in a circle, surrounding the young man. Then one of them asked, “Take off your pants. Let us see what’s going on.”

Seeing so many experts taking care of his son, the old woman answered hastily, “Don’t be shy, son. Show them.”

The young man hesitated for a while but he eventually took off his pants. Parts of his body that were lower than the belly had all turned dark blue, from his genitals to his ankle.

All the experts frowned upon seeing it.

“Does it hurt?”

“No!”

“Does it itch?”

“Do you feel numb on this part?”

“No.”

The experts asked several questions successively. The young man’s skin there looked quite scary, but neither did he feel pain or numbness. They were all experienced experts, but none of them had seen that before.”

Seeing the grim look on their faces, the old woman asked hastily, “What’s wrong with him? Is it bad?”
