Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1973, 3750 checkpoints

As the saying goes, "Your appearance reflects your heart!" Everyone's inner emotions, values, and lifestyle habits will naturally be revealed as they age and their personal experiences accumulate. This is true throughout history and across the world! The only difference lies in the degree to which these traits are expressed.

A master of physiognomy can tell at a glance.

Traditional Chinese medicine's "inspection" technique and traditional physiognomy are originally from the same source. Although they have been differentiated over time, they still have many similarities. TCM masters are even more adept at judging people and events.

As one of the top TCM practitioners in Lijin City, Bian Mu can make judgments about people and things as easily as taking a pulse. After concentrating and examining carefully for a while, he can basically make a 70-80% diagnosis.

Bian Mu's "Digital Medicine" school focuses on the "Heart Sprout" exploration method. By observing changes in the brightness, clarity, and internal and external appearance of the "Heart Sprout," the school classifies, distinguishes between deficiency and excess, and observes abnormalities in the patient's internal "essence," "qi," and "spirit," thereby drawing corresponding TCM conclusions similar to "pulse patterns" to assist doctors in making more accurate diagnoses.

At first, Bian Mu thought that the fake translator in front of her was just overly concerned about her health. With the worldly mentality of "comparing three options before making a purchase," she listened to what each doctor in the clinic had to say in order to select a good doctor that she could accept. It seemed that only by doing so could she justify the "exorbitant" registration fee.

This is only human nature and is completely understandable.

however……

After observing "Xinmiao" carefully for a while, Bian Mu basically concluded that the fake translator in front of him was probably instigated by someone to cause trouble. Although he was not clever, if he encountered a petty colleague, the subsequent negative impact would still be quite profound.

The past is not far removed from history, and it serves as a lesson for the future! The story of "one peach killing three warriors" is not just a simple tale to be told; the human weaknesses it reveals still have a remarkable effect today.

If this fake translator's clumsy trick succeeds, suspicion will inevitably arise among Bian Mu, Liang Xiangyin, Dr. Ning, and others. Even if the matter quickly dissipates, the lingering shadow in their hearts will eventually "ferment" again due to other trivial matters, leading to unforeseen internal conflicts. If Bian Mu mishandles the situation, his colleagues might become estranged and go their separate ways. If this is compounded by other accumulated personal conflicts, this seemingly thriving new traditional Chinese medicine clinic might disintegrate, and everyone would have to go their separate ways.

That's a pretty underhanded trick!

The patients who come to see Bian Mu for treatment, no matter how shifty their eyes seem, there is a certain pattern to them. No matter how much they look around, the vast majority of them will not steal glances to repeatedly "scan" Bian Mu, the attending physician. They are either absent-minded, worried, restless, or taciturn... Their attention is not focused on figuring out what kind of person Bian Mu is.

Today, this fake translator's attention was focused on Bian Mu the whole time, and he seemed rather distracted from his own illness. All his usual talk about not being able to go out or see anyone was utter nonsense!
Even more convincing evidence is that her heart was constantly wavering, and quite predictably so; without even asking, she was just coming to cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, Bian Mu gave her a few serious warnings, which made the woman seem flustered. Clearly, this wasn't part of the "script" she and her associates had agreed upon beforehand. Even with her extensive experience, the woman was momentarily confused. "Master Bian means... that the acne on my face is just a symptom, and the real problem is the blocked blood vessels?!"

"Imperfusion is a Western medical term; we generally refer to it as blood and qi stagnation or qi stagnation. To put it simply, the human body has long since developed a remarkably scientific defense system against internal and external bacteria, viruses, pathogenic factors, injuries, and the like. Its complexity even surpasses that of a nation's defense system—truly! It's a perfectly formed and extremely sophisticated system. This human defense system consists of hundreds of thousands of defense nodes, and each medical school interprets it vastly differently. Even with repeated simplifications in traditional Chinese medicine, it still amounts to nearly ten thousand! Moreover, each school of traditional Chinese medicine defines it in vastly different ways." Our school of thought calls itself the 'Digital Medicine' school. We believe there are a total of 3750 such defensive checkpoints. And you! We've already found 7 blockages, one of which is right on the Heart Meridian. There are 5 minor blockages, but the places where the problems are aren't good... they'll all cause trouble in the future! The blockage halfway down the Heart Meridian is the worst, a moderate to severe case! You're only 27, not even middle-aged yet, but you're already showing signs of old age. I don't need to say more about what might happen in the future!" Bian Mu pointed at the fake translator, her tone slightly harsh.

After hearing this medical explanation, the female patient fell silent.

Judging from her demeanor, that woman is definitely intelligent, and her level of education is certainly not low. Bian Mu explained it so clearly and vividly; if she still couldn't grasp the nuances, she would be utterly useless!

"Early stage of coronary heart disease?!" After a slight hesitation, the woman asked in a somewhat unsure tone.

“Not at all! The types of heart disease that Western medicine talks about, such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and valvular heart disease, are completely different from ours, so it’s hard to make a similar comparison. However… in terms of development trends, you will definitely develop varying degrees of discomfort in your heart within the next 10 years. This is something we can be completely certain of now!” Bian Mu’s reply was decisive and straightforward.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow! Bian Mu's name was already well-known to her, and upon hearing this, the woman's face immediately turned somewhat timid.

"Then... I'll go to the hospital you specified for a full physical exam first, and then come back here for a follow-up appointment after the results are available, okay?"

"You're an educated person, so make your own decision when the time comes! Choose whichever treatment is more conducive to a speedy recovery!" Bian Mu was too lazy to pay attention to her at this point, wishing she would never come back. With such ill intentions, why even talk about follow-up visits? Get lost!
"Well... thank you! I'll come back for a follow-up appointment as soon as the test results come out, and I'll even register for your appointment!" Well, at least the woman had some sense; she even used polite language.

"We'll see when the time comes!" Bian Mu replied casually.

Listen carefully to the implication; the woman's expression turned somewhat awkward, and she slowly got up, preparing to leave.

"Please wait! Did you buy this gold bracelet yourself, or was it a gift from a relative or friend?" Bian Mu suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the woman was taken aback, and then replied, "It was a gift from my best friend. She got married early, and I was her bridesmaid. We don't usually have any financial dealings, but she seemed quite excited on her wedding day and insisted on giving me this bracelet. It turns out it might have been a pair, but I only got this one. What?! Is something wrong?"

Subconsciously, the woman suddenly realized that the bracelet she was wearing might be shrouded in some kind of evil, so she naturally offered a few more words of explanation in her reply.
