Chapter 1630: Poison-Removing Ointment

As everyone knows, no matter how serious the disease is, Bian Mu never accepts orders from cancer patients.

Hearing that Bian Mu was so proficient in oncology diagnosis, Luo Zhanqi was surprised and mistakenly thought that Bian Mu was preparing to suddenly add a new cancer outpatient program.

"An old acquaintance. His situation is rather special. I guess it's nothing serious. Where are you going to eat?" Bian Mu didn't want to discuss Sima Kui's affairs too much. As he spoke, he casually took the two films off the light box. Luo Zhanqi's eyes were very sharp. He could guess who the films belonged to based on the pinyin on the films. Before Luo Zhanqi had time to pay attention to information such as the patient's name, Bian Mu took the films away first.

Luo Zhanqi didn't think too much about it. He was sure that Bian Mu would continue to refuse cancer cases, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Just two plates of dumplings at the door. I'm going to ask for your leave. After dinner, I have to go back to my hometown. An elder of my family passed away. The old man has no sons. I have to go to the casket and help with the funeral. It will probably take about ten days. I have three orders left. If you can help me take care of them, please."

"When did it happen?!" His face turned pale and Bian Mu asked with concern.

"Yesterday afternoon... the old man is usually very close to my family."

"Oh! My condolences! I'll transfer 1000 yuan to you, just as a token of my appreciation." After saying that, Bian Mu transferred 1000 yuan to Luo Zhanqi.

Luo Zhanqi didn't bother to be polite with him. He just bowed and said nothing.

While bathing, he sorted out the gifts that people usually gave him, mainly some tea, cigarettes and other things, and put them into a big bag, which would be used for funerals in the countryside.

"It's just what I need to do. It saves you from having to buy more after you get off the car. I'll help you with bone setting and massage. I think Dr. Gong can try to treat a few cases of pediatric massage. What do you think?"

The expression on Luo Zhanqi's face looked calm as water.

"No problem! She is very careful and her skills are no worse than mine. In some aspects... I'm afraid I'm not as good as her!"

"That's not necessary! I'll give her permission tomorrow morning!"

"Ok!"

"Let's try it for a while. If she can really get it, I plan to arrange for her to open a secondary pediatric clinic on the third floor. It will mainly focus on pediatric massage. I will handle the main pediatric department first. Anyway, you are usually very busy and can't take on so many orders. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay! Then... with her qualifications, is it possible for her to major in pediatrics in the future?" Luo Zhanqi asked casually.

"I have this plan, but... that will be a year later. Those plaques at the door of our house are not just for show. She can only practice medicine after passing all the assessments. After all the miscellaneous assessments, it will probably take until the second half of next year. Recently, the assessments of relevant departments have become more and more stringent. You know, if she wants to take a reference, they will assess her according to the standards of the National Medical Clinic..." For the last sentence, Bian Mu deliberately emphasized his tone.

Hearing this, Luo Zhanqi was obviously relieved.

Bian Mu guessed that Luo Zhanqi probably didn't know much about the assessment standards of the National Medical Clinic. In Brother Luo's opinion, no matter how fast Dr. Gong progressed, it would be almost impossible for him to obtain the pediatric outpatient qualification according to the National Medical Clinic standards within three to five years.

Usually, everyone sits together and chats, and they all agree that Bian Mu is the only one in the clinic who has the general practitioner qualifications. All the others are useless. In a sense, everyone is making a living under the big tree of Bian Mu!

Seeing that Luo Zhanqi was not really upset, Bian Mu was also very happy. After all, they were brothers, so it was better not to be suspicious of each other because of trivial matters, otherwise they might part ways early. Afterwards, Bian Mu reminded them to be careful on the road, and after tidying up, he said that they would have a casual meal at Yin's house in Shangliang Township.

Luo Zhanqi had packed up early in the morning. He really didn't want to delay the clinic's business, so he insisted on seeing patients for most of the day. Thanking Bian Mu for his fairness, Luo Zhanqi ate some dumplings on the street and calmly set out on his journey home.

……

When his son came back, Liang Xiangyin specially cooked three more dishes. When Bian Mu came in, the father and son had almost finished eating.

Knowing that Bian Mu was a great cook, there was no need to be polite with each other. San Qiangzi stood up to help wash some more vegetables. Bian Mu made a casual vegetarian stew and cooked some noodles. San Qiangzi took out a piece of top-notch cooked beef tendon and cut it into a platter to add another dish to Bian Mu.

"Uncle! The film taken by Senior Sima looks a bit ambiguous. There is really no need for a biopsy. The relevant information is not enough. I'll ask him out for a chat in the evening!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

"What is the probability of a malignant disease?" Liang Xiangyin asked with concern.

"Less than 20%. Did Brother Qiangzi's message get through?" Bian Mu asked back.

"Yeah! It's pretty much what I guessed. If... he suffered enough during his time at Sunset Red Nursing Home, with all the bad luck accumulated, it would be strange if he didn't have a few tumors on his body. I was prepared for this, and I feel relieved when you say that. Then... with the power of us, to what extent can we cure him?"

"It's hard to say right now, but... if we recover with all our strength, at least the situation won't get worse. But... there are some things that I can't talk about. You're too old..."

"I understand... Actually... With our relationship, he should have... I'll talk to him later!"

"Thank you very much! In addition, many pharmaceutical companies have approached me recently to discuss cooperation. At first, I didn't have that intention. You and Senior Sima both know what I want to do, but... at the moment... there are indeed many gaps in the market. We have the essence of our ancestors' pharmaceutical manufacturing, and we also have some AI tools in our hands. Otherwise... try to make a small gadget to explore the depth of the Chinese patent medicine market?! And make some money by the way? Besides, Senior Sima may have to spend a lot of money to treat the disease!"

Hearing this, Liang Xiangyin was stunned for a moment, did not reply, and sat quietly on the sofa drinking his tea.

San Qiangzi listened very carefully for a while, but he didn't understand any of the two riddles. Fortunately, he was used to it, so he didn't think it was strange. He sat there looking at his father, then at Bian Mu, thinking that they were all living too hard. Is it really necessary to live such a complicated life?
After a while, Liang Xiangyin asked with a smile: "Which piece do you plan to get?"

"Detoxifying ointment! Do you think it will work?"

"Can Huang Boxi lend a hand?"

"It's hard to say right now. If you don't tell me, I can't go to him directly!"

"That's good! Find some time to talk to him and see how much he can relax."

"Great! With your words, I feel relieved." As he spoke, Bian Mu took a few more bites of noodles. Hmm! It tasted really good!

On the way here, Bian Mu was still worried. Liang Xiangyin seemed very kind on the surface, but he was actually quite difficult to talk to. Unexpectedly, because of his junior brother's illness, he would agree to do some difficult things so readily. Bian Mu was so happy that he devoured the whole plate of beef in no time.
