Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2004: Accepting private jobs

When Bian Mu was giving the rich young man acupuncture to regulate his Qi and blood circulation, she thought about inviting Dr. Ning to observe. However, she then thought that her acupuncture skills were already among the best in the industry. As a woman with such a weak foundation in traditional martial arts, it might not be a good thing for her to try a higher level of acupuncture. Why add unnecessary troubles to a life that was already so happy? So, Bian Mu didn't invite Dr. Ning.

That noon, a while after get off work, Nurse Sun saw that her colleagues were all going out to find lunch, so she quietly walked up to Bian Mu and whispered a few words to her.

"Boss! I saw Dr. Luo taking on private jobs with my own eyes! And... his clients are all very wealthy and powerful people. One of them even assigned him a personal assistant!"

Upon hearing this, Bian Muxin was slightly taken aback.

Back when Luo Zhanqi was working at a small clinic, he was already taking on private jobs, and Bian Mu had always turned a blind eye. Now that Dr. Luo has become famous, Bian Mu is even more inclined to pretend not to hear or care.

To Bian Mu's surprise, Nurse Sun had only been working for a few days, yet she was already stirring up trouble and sowing discord among her colleagues!
Damn it! No wonder everyone's saying Huikang Hospital is going to fail. What kind of bullshit atmosphere is this?!

“Do you know? Dr. Luo is a partner here, just like a professional partner in a law firm. He earns his living through his skills, and we can’t interfere!” Bian Mu replied with a smile, his hands never stopping as he carefully copied an old prescription.

Every now and then, Bian Mu would reverently copy the ancient prescriptions by hand several times. Occasionally, Bian Mu would even use a small wolf-hair brush dipped in pine ink to copy them again, and observe them repeatedly for a while. None of his colleagues understood what the boss meant by doing that.

"Huh?! A partner?! Who else do we have here besides him?!" Nurse Sun asked quickly, her face showing great surprise.

"Among you nurses, Sister Ye is the only one! All the doctor colleagues are like that!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Huh?! Sister Ye is a partner too! Really... Does this mean I can take on freelance work in my spare time using the clinic's name?!"

"Of course you can, but... no matter who it is, you can't bring patients from outside your 'Digital Medicine' system into our clinic for treatment. Occasionally borrowing our medical supplies, equipment, or consumables is also allowed, but you have to register it afterwards. As for how to settle accounts at the end of the year, we'll have to sit down and discuss it!" Bian Mu didn't stop copying, and casually replied to her a few words.

"No way? So free and easy! Well then... pfft! What kind of lousy side jobs would a nurse like me take on! Unless it's going to a client's house to change a catheter, insert a feeding tube, or do an IV, those only pay a pittance! Not even enough for a taxi ride back and forth! Well... boss, aren't you afraid that Madam Luo will get too close to you and start her own business, sabotaging you?!"

"Haven't you always wanted to switch from nursing to medicine? Well... have you tried your hand at massage and bone setting?" Bian Mu raised her head, put the pen in her hand on the pen holder, and changed the subject, asking with a half-smile on her face.

"I've tried pediatric massage a few times, but my arms get sore. That's not my area of ​​expertise. In the future... I might not become a general practitioner. I'll get rid of my nurse's hat first!"

"Not bad! At least I got some massage experience. Do you know how many patients Dr. Luo sees every day?! Even if he were made of iron, how much energy would he have left to take on private jobs after get off work?!"

"That's true! I was being petty and judging my colleague! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to cause trouble, it's just that you're so good to everyone, and he still had those kinds of thoughts... Now I understand... So... if Dr. Ning takes on private work... after all, she's using our clinic's popularity! Would you hold a grudge against her?!"

"Hahaha... You don't know, do you! Doctor Ning's family employs countless nannies, drivers, gardeners, private doctors, security personnel... How could she possibly be interested in a few loose change?!" At this point, Bian Mu started laughing to himself.

Hearing this, Nurse Sun was completely dumbfounded.

"Wow?! So extravagant?! I never really saw that coming from before... And what about Dr. Gong?"

"Aren't you hungry?! How about I treat you? Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm so sorry, you go ahead and do your work, my mom is waiting for me to come home for dinner! Bye-bye!" With that, Nurse Sun skipped and hopped out the door and walked away.

Staring at the words she had written, Bian Mu felt increasingly inept at using a pen. Just as she was about to throw the prescription into the shredder, change her clothes, and leave, she looked up and saw Dr. Ning hurrying in from outside the door.

With a "pfft," Bian Mu immediately burst out laughing. Somewhat bewildered, Dr. Ning instinctively glanced back at her own clothes a few times.

"What's wrong?! Is it that funny?"

"Don't get me wrong! Someone was just gushing about how rich your family is. Have you eaten yet?"

"Hehe... I thought... I just ate a few snacks and felt a little unwell, so I wanted to chat with you for a bit while you were still here. I hope I kept you from eating!"

"It's alright! How about your husband? He needs to pick him up every day to feel at ease!"

"No way! He has a business dinner at noon and can't take care of me. How about... I go to a restaurant with you for a while?"

"No need! Just order the 'Braised Beef' set meal, half a portion should be enough for you!"

"I'll do it! Two portions, my appetite has been growing lately!" As she spoke, Dr. Ning took out her phone and ordered two "Fire Beef Stew" set meals. She had troubled her boss, so the meal was naturally on her pay.

“A few days ago, I saw a patient, a 39-year-old man, divorced with no children, who had a pretty good job with high welfare benefits, but… it’s been almost a week now, and I still can’t find a starting point. I don’t have a clear focus, and I don’t even know what the difficulty is. Dr. Liang has been quite busy lately, and it’s a bit difficult for me to communicate with him… so I had to come and talk to you. It’s been such a terrible experience, the first time in so many years!” As she spoke, Dr. Ning took out a neatly rolled-up photocopy of a medical record from her bag and handed it to Bian Mu.

Bian Mu got up and went out to bring a pot of good tea. He first brewed a cup for Dr. Ning, and then he drank it while flipping through the medical record. The patient medical records of the "New Concept" clinic can be shared and discussed. They can be downloaded directly on computers and mobile phones. Dr. Ning's actions were probably to protect the patient's privacy and to make appropriate blocking on the Internet.

Moreover, the photocopy occasionally revealed key notes or reflections on doubts written by Dr. Ning himself, which explains why he specifically printed out a copy for me.

……

“His condition is quite strange; anyone would be scratching their head if they encountered it. As for his past medical history… didn’t you ask him how many siblings he has?” Bian Mu suddenly asked.

"Direct blood relatives of the same generation?" Dr. Ning didn't react for a moment and asked with a blank look.

"Yes! He has a total of several siblings, and he is the eldest in his family."

“I don’t usually do this… You even have to record this kind of information normally?!” Dr. Ning was a little overwhelmed.

"Almost there! Our 'Digital Medicine' system has been upgraded to AI Level 2. You might have been too busy to upgrade it, but refresh it later and upgrade it. The computer will automatically scan and supplement it. For example, the system will deduce whether to further inquire about the social relationships of his brothers and relatives based on his birth date, life experience, past medical history, etc. If it is deemed necessary, the system will use bold red text to prompt for a period of time. The font will flash to make it more eye-catching."

"Okay! I really hadn't noticed before. So... what went wrong with him in this area?!" Dr. Ning asked curiously.

"I'm just guessing. In his family, he's an only child, maybe with several older sisters and younger sisters. Most likely... he's the youngest, with at least three older sisters..."

"No wonder they jokingly call you 'the Mystic Healer' behind your back. I can understand it a little bit now, hahaha... Really?!"

"Joking aside, his situation is somewhat similar to that of a certain hospital director-level doctor in the city. Moreover, his interference comes from a direct blood relative, so the behavior is different. In addition, this person had a history of severe alcoholism in the past, and his family must have paid a heavy price to get him to quit. When he was presenting the case, he didn't mention a word of it to you, did he?!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Ning seemed to immediately remember something...
