Chapter 172 The Big Problem
Su Ruowei had every reason to doubt, and it even struck her as a moment of sudden enlightenment.
Even though it was early in the morning, Lin Fan didn't make a move.
In the previous few times, Lin Fan had acted like a complete idiot.
They might be fellow patients!
Su Ruowei's beautiful eyes darkened, and she began to complain inwardly:
He treats others so easily, there's no way he can't cure himself.
Thinking of this, a phrase popped into Su Ruowei's mind: "A doctor cannot heal himself."
That must be it! Case solved! Everything makes sense now!
She thought Lin Fan might have acted that way out of pride, probably because he was afraid of being disliked if she found out the truth.
This girl's imagination is terrifying.
Lin Fan glanced at Su Ruowei and found that she was looking at him with sympathy.
"What's wrong, Ruowei?"
Lin Fan took the patient's pulse while asking questions.
Su Ruowei shook her head: "I won't despise you, and I certainly won't abandon you."
Lin Fan looked puzzled, completely baffled as to what had gotten into Su Ruowei this time.
Faced with a large number of patients, it was difficult to ask detailed questions, so the only option was to start seeing patients.
Lin Fan changed his previous approach of prescribing medicine and began to treat each patient with acupuncture to remove the root cause of their illness.
He discovered that many people had visited him once that afternoon and then came back for a follow-up appointment.
Repetitive tasks are a real headache.
Therefore, it's better to treat it directly with acupuncture to avoid wasting time and effort.
Jiang Lingfu and the others watched in awe, completely impressed by Lin Fan's medical skills.
After an hour of work, all the treatments were finally completed.
Lin Fan watched the last patient leave and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Finally, I can rest for a while.
"Brother Fan, please have some tea." Jiang Lingfu immediately served tea to Lin Fan.
I was so engrossed in watching that I forgot to prepare tea for Lin Fan.
Just as Lin Fan took the teacup, he heard Su Ruowei murmur beside him:
"Lin Fan, teach me too, your healing skills are amazing—"
Su Ruowei wanted to mention the acupuncture technique used to treat the first patient, but fearing Lin Fan would guess her intention, she quickly changed her words:
"Teach me a practical acupuncture technique, and I can come and help you this weekend."
"Or I could give you some physical therapy or something..."
After speaking, Su Ruowei carefully observed Lin Fan's expression.
Lin Fan took a sip of tea and nodded slightly: "I'll teach you separately when we get home."
Upon hearing this, a hint of treason flashed in the eyes of several apprentices.
That's the anger of single people.
"Dr. Lin, please save me!"
Suddenly, a painful groan came from outside the door.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a woman was lying prone outside the gate of Jishetang.
Those who saw it were filled with fear and trepidation.
The woman was about 170 cm tall, but she was so thin that she was skin and bones, like a stick.
If it weren't for the fact that the skin still had some color, it would really look like a skeleton.
Lin Fan frowned and waved to the two apprentices.
The apprentice immediately stepped forward and helped the woman into the house.
After the woman entered the house, two people immediately followed her in from outside.
Lin Fan recognized them at a glance: Huang Shulang and Yin Lu.
Not long after the two entered the house, several reporters with cameras followed them in.
"You think you're so great, the miracle doctor at Jishetang? Do you think you can cure this?"
Huang Shulang laughed arrogantly: "I've invited a few reporter friends over. If you can't cure me, you'll be on the news right away."
"Once the news is over, the Medical Bureau will send people immediately to shut down your clinic."
Yin Lu also retorted sarcastically, "By exposing your fraud, we're making a contribution to Shancheng City."
Jiang Lingfu felt a pang of anxiety when he saw the patient. Judging from his appearance, he initially diagnosed the patient with anorexia nervosa.
If it really is anorexia, then it will be difficult to handle.
Anorexia symptom is loss of appetite, leading to emaciation, but the underlying cause is a mental illness.
The causes are varied, and may include anorexia caused by depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It could also be a patient suffering from anorexia due to childhood family stress.
However, regardless of the cause, it is not something that can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine.
Jiang Lingfu knew that this was a trap set by Xisheng Clinic, and the patient was just a pretext.
Huang Shulang used this patient as an excuse to find a pretext to shut down Jishetang.
Even the slightest flaw can be blown out of proportion by a group of media outlets.
Lin Fan used his Heavenly Eye to examine the patient, but he couldn't detect any symptoms.
There are no precedents for anorexia in the Nine Netherworld. Being able to eat is already a blessing; anorexia is just a mild form of hunger.
Lin Fan frowned; the unknown illness piqued his interest.
"Keep pretending, why aren't you pretending anymore?"
Huang Shulang laughed arrogantly, "Why don't you prescribe Chinese medicine or use acupuncture? What's wrong with that?"
Yin Lu stood by and made sarcastic remarks:
"He's just a conman, what can he possibly do to cure him? He was just lucky before."
Su Ruowei was completely confused, wondering what these two people did and how treating patients could cause them to make enemies.
Lin Fan observed it several more times, but still found no clues: "Strange, what kind of disease is this?"
"Brother Fan, if it really doesn't work, then let's just give up on treatment."
Jiang Lingfu took a deep breath: "We can't cure this disease."
Jiang Lingfu knew that treating mental illness with traditional Chinese medicine was simply a pipe dream.
However, if they give up on treating patients, they will face further pressure from Huang Shulang.
The overwhelming public opinion will suffocate Jishetang.
When Jishetang is in the eye of the storm, Yin Lu will use her connections in the Department of Medicine to shut it down.
But even so, these are not things Lin Fan should have to bear.
"Can't it be cured?" Lin Fan pursed his lips. "Let me take another look."
"Kid, Young Master Jiang has already given up on you, what are you still pretending for?"
Huang Shulang pointed at Lin Fan and laughed.
Yin Lu chimed in, "This is a classic case of the emperor not being worried while the eunuch is. The emperor has already said it's not necessary, but the eunuch is still worrying about it."
"Did you arrange this patient?"
Lin Fan glanced at Huang Shulang with disdain, his eyes revealing indifference.
His gaze was as if he were looking at an ant.
Lin Fan has a million ways to deal with Huang Shulang and Yin Lu.
The Mountain City Group's handling of these media outlets is child's play.
However, Lin Fan was too lazy to do that; these two ants were not worthy of his attention.
To argue with ants is to demean oneself.
"Don't talk nonsense. The patient came to Xisheng Clinic on his own."
“I thought to myself, ‘We have a miracle doctor at Jishetang,’ so I introduced her to you.”
"Who knew you, this so-called miracle doctor, were just a charlatan who couldn't even diagnose the illness!"
Huang Shulang had a smug look on his face: "She's starving to death. If you can't save her, at least call 120 for her."
At this moment, Su Ruowei looked at the female patient with a blank expression:
"Could this girl have anorexia caused by depression?"
Her best friend, Gu Xinyan, had previously suffered from anorexia due to a breakup, and her symptoms were very similar to those of this patient.
“That’s right, it’s anorexia!” Jiang Lingfu sighed.
In Jiang Lingfu's eyes, it was too late to do anything about it; this was a disease that traditional Chinese medicine could not cure.
"Mental illness!"
Lin Fan's brows relaxed: "I thought it was something else, easy to cure!"
