Chapter 1928 Similar Diseases, But Different Treatments

With innovation at the forefront, success in all walks of life in Lijin City has reached a consensus: when faced with an opportunity to do something meaningful, most of them will ask themselves: what exactly are the advantages of their own innovative concepts and micro-innovations? If they are still vague about this, they will basically lose money no matter what business they do.

This is an era that demands innovation!

It's hard to survive without innovation!

After taking a couple of sips of the ginseng and mushroom soup from his small bowl, Wen Boyong said in a calm and slow tone, "Well... we have to reserve a few spots first. You can't just stand by and do nothing! You'll have to let us know if you have any good ideas."

"Of course! I will speak freely and without reservation when discussing business! However... cooperation is definitely out of the question in the near future, really! The health club business is not really my thing, so I won't consider it for the time being."

"Hey! You're just too conservative! Forget it, let's each go about our own business! You, you..." After saying that, Wen Boyong got up and added a spoonful of soup to his bowl. It tasted very good, and Wen Boyong couldn't help but drink a little more.

It was already late when Bian Mu returned to his family clinic. He didn't have much time to rest before going to work. He spread out a hard folding bed in his clinic and lay down for a while, his mind filled with thoughts of how to successfully take over the Cen family's health and wellness center...

……

The afternoon's consultation went relatively smoothly. The three young interns worked very hard, which saved Bian Mu a lot of trouble. Over this period of time, these three interns, who were not much younger than him, had become increasingly respectful to him, as if Bian Mu were a generation older than them.

Just after 4 p.m., Bian Mu saw a 26-year-old female patient as usual. She had been in a minor car accident and suffered a minor injury to her right forearm elbow, which left a crooked scar that was initially estimated to be at least 11 centimeters long.

"Master! After using your 'Detoxifying Ointment,' I was discharged a week earlier than other patients, which made the family that caused the accident extremely happy. However... it still left such an ugly scar, looking like an earthworm, it's awful! They said I started using the medicine too late, so I made an appointment with you today specifically for this. I'm sure you have a way to help me get rid of the scar, right? I'm even willing to have minimally invasive surgery!" The woman was quick-witted and didn't waste any words, clearly explaining her purpose for seeking medical treatment.

"Hehe... Thank you for your trust in our clinic! However... you're overestimating us. Some of the doctors around you aren't entirely telling the truth. Let's put it this way: even if you used my 'detoxifying ointment' at the accident scene immediately, the wound would at most heal relatively neatly. Completely eliminating the scar is absolutely impossible! There's no other reason than that when we designed this new drug, we didn't give it the effect of eliminating scars. If you read the relevant instructions carefully later, you'll find that we never mention the words 'eliminating scars'." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Well... they say you're amazing! Think of other ways! I'm not married yet! Such an obvious scar will scare away so many handsome guys! Please help me! I beg you! They say you're the only one in the whole city of Lijin who has a solution." The woman started to plead with a hint of coaxing.

Hearing this, Bian Mule was delighted.

"Nine out of ten rumors circulating on the street can't be believed. Let me put it this way, that scar-removing medicine... if you trace it back, it's related to the research of the elixir of immortality. Immortality is an elixir of immortality, and longevity is an elixir of longevity. They are two completely different systems. Those who are immortal may not be ageless; those who are ageless may not be able to achieve immortality. Really! Scar removal just happens to fall under the big category of the elixir of longevity. Think about it, is that something that ordinary people can produce?! Who do I think I am?! Right!" Bian Mu explained a few words, half-jokingly and half-seriously, at the end.

"That's amazing! Well... even if it can't be completely eliminated, could you at least prepare some medicine to make it grow back smoother, or even better, completely eliminate the color difference? As the most popular TCM doctor in the area right now, you have to think of a way, right?!" Taking a step back, the woman suddenly suggested that Bian Mu specially prepare some medicine for her. "If you're going to settle for second best, then there's nothing I can do. I can't possibly lie to you! After all these years of studying medicine, I haven't even scratched the surface of the elixir of youth, how could I possibly prescribe medicine for you?! That would be cheating you!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.
At this point, Bian Mu was getting a little annoyed with her. They had already gone this far, but the woman was still pestering him.

"Oh, I see... Sigh! What a wasted trip!" With that, the woman reluctantly got up and prepared to leave.

"Let's try other hospitals. Some burn specialist hospitals might have some solutions. Also, today's registration fee has been refunded, please check it." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"You're too kind... Thanks!" With that, the woman turned and left the consultation room to try to find a solution elsewhere.

Interestingly, the next male patient also had a similar injury. He was a 39-year-old chef who was distracted while working and accidentally cut his finger. The wound had been healing for almost three months. He had heard that Bian Mu was a highly skilled doctor and had a fair complexion, but he didn't want that deep and long scar on his finger to stay with him for the rest of his life.

After taking her pulse, Bian Mu asked with a smile, "Was it from a kitchen knife? Or something else?"

"A boning knife, a really sharp one, almost cut my finger off, it was so fast! See... can it heal now?"

“You can try, but… you have to go back and bring the knife that hurt your finger so I can take a look.” Bian Mu suddenly said this.

Upon hearing this, the man was momentarily stunned.

"Dr. Bian! I've heard you're incredibly skilled. Your question... could it be... just a way of making things mysterious?!" The man, after all, had some life experience and his mind worked quickly.

“Treating patients is a serious matter, I can’t just talk nonsense. I’m serious. Without the knife, this scar can’t be removed. Besides, your wound hasn’t really healed properly, and it’s still damaging some nerves. Only if you bring the knife can I estimate how much treatment I can get.”

"But... that knife has been cleaned countless times, and my apprentice uses it occasionally. What's the point of me bringing it back?! Don't try to fool me by saying I'm uneducated. It's expensive to see a doctor here, so you have to make sure you get your money's worth!" As he spoke, the man's tone became somewhat harsh.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu couldn't help but burst into laughter a few times.

This startled everyone, including the three young interns.

Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, Bian Mu smiled and explained, "The knife is the source of evil deeds. This is an old saying. It may seem a bit difficult to understand at first glance, but it actually has a deeper meaning. You may have had some prejudice against me before you came, which is understandable. Trust me this time. Go back and get the knife first, and we'll discuss it further."

Hearing this, the man was still somewhat skeptical. But seeing that Bian Mu spoke with great certainty, he got up and went back to get his knife.
