Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2178 Chinese Dental Surgery
Forest ranger Lao Liangtou had been strongly recommending Teng Daili to take over the management of the branch of the National Medical Center from Bian Mu. Although Bian Mu did not express any objection, he was not really convinced.

After the complaint incident, Bian Mu had to have an in-depth face-to-face talk with Teng Daili and Sun Zhengting to find out the truth of the incident, distinguish right from wrong, and determine responsibility. It was also inevitable that they would exchange opinions on the technical aspects.

Bian Mu gradually realized that Old Liang's judgment of people was quite accurate.

In every aspect, Sun Zhengting is indeed far inferior to Teng Daili, especially in terms of taking responsibility. If he had been chosen as the branch manager in the first place, it would have been a real disaster.

Seeing the worried look on Sun Zhengting's face, Bian Mu then offered a few words of explanation.

"Le Xiaojuan has lived a lifestyle she considers relatively economical for many years, and her tooth roots have long been deteriorated. Theoretically speaking, not to mention those two diseased teeth, all the other teeth that look normal on the surface will eventually fall out. Strictly speaking, this matter was not as simple as a dental problem from the beginning. You handled it quite well, following the meridians and trying to improve her tooth root nutrition from the outside, thereby alleviating her symptoms first, and then making a comprehensive adjustment. Even if you were to undergo the most rigorous professional questioning by the relevant departments, you would not bear the main responsibility. However, things just happened to be so unfortunate. Le Xiaojuan's background was too weak. The treatment plan you devised for her was like... placing a freshly fried dough stick directly on a very thin oil-absorbing paper. Even the most heat-resistant person could not withstand it, right? In the rush, she let go, and not only did the dough stick fall to the ground, but her hand was also burned."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengting immediately felt that his earnings for the year were essentially wiped out.

“Well… regardless of whether there’s any punishment from above, I’ll have to cover all the treatment costs for her two bad teeth! Sigh! The end of the year is almost here, and this has to happen…” Feeling extremely annoyed, Sun Zhengting couldn’t get his mind on anything serious.

Shaking his head slightly, Bian Mu was honestly deeply disappointed in Sun Zhengting.

Given Sun Zhengting's current state, how can he possibly assist Teng Daili in managing "Xichunhe" to be comparable to Branch 2?!
difficult!
"The relevant agreement was signed not long ago, right?! You seem to have almost forgotten about it. This matter can only be considered a special case. Even if there is a full compensation, it should be shared by all parties according to the original agreement. How can it be entirely blamed on you?! Besides, who said that those two teeth had to be pulled out and replanted?!" Feeling a little amused, Bian Mu quickly brought the conversation back on track.

Compared to Teng Daili's various reactions, Bian Mu was even more disappointed in Sun Zhengting.

Upon hearing that there was still a chance for things to turn around, Sun Zhengting was immediately overjoyed.

Currently, Bian Mu is known as a "miracle doctor" in Lijin City. No matter how complicated or difficult the illness, he can often turn it into a miracle. Sun Zhengting has experienced this more than once or twice. As soon as Bian Mu loosened his grip, he immediately became excited.

"May I ask you for your specific approach?" Not bad, even when faced with a problem, Sun Zhengting still remembered to learn a bit.

Shaking her head slightly, Bian Mu could only patiently reply with a few words. "The couple needs to move out of that abandoned sales office and find a place suitable for normal people to live in. Besides, Le Xiaojuan's husband's teeth aren't in good condition either. If they don't take care of them in time, they'll all fall out in less than five years. If they can really listen to this, then we can discuss the follow-up treatment. By the way, did you arrange for her to have dental X-rays taken?" Bian Mu asked with a frown.

"No! I didn't think it was too much trouble at the time. Let's see how it goes first. If the results aren't ideal, we'll arrange for her to have an X-ray." Sun Zhengting told the truth.

“No wonder… If I’m not mistaken, Le Xiaojuan has two extra teeth compared to normal people. It’s hard to tell without an X-ray. But… there are no outsiders here, so let’s be frank. A pulse diagnosis combined with a general dental visual examination can also reveal that her teeth are arranged differently from normal people. Did you overlook this point?” Bian Mu criticized Sun Zhengting in a relatively tactful way.

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengting felt deeply ashamed.

“Before, I knew that my comprehensive medical skills were far inferior to yours. But today I realized that after struggling for half my life, I haven’t even caught up with your back in terms of comprehensive medical skills…” Sun Zhengting said sincerely.

"Pshaw! What are you talking about! Your family burdens are heavier than your colleagues, so it's inevitable that you'd be a little distracted. I wouldn't be much better off in your situation. Besides, Huikang wasn't operating normally for a while, so you were all a bit distracted during your internships here. It's not that you weren't dedicated, but having families and jobs, and not seeing a clear future made you uneasy, so your medical skills inevitably suffered. Recently, with the branch clinic newly established, you've been running around doing everything, and your medical skills have indeed declined quite a bit. There's something I need to formally remind you: the current state of new TCM clinical medicine is completely different from what Master Nie was taught." "It's the same now. It's basically impossible to be a decent TCM doctor just by relying on some clinical medical experience, especially in a private TCM clinic like ours where comprehensive services are only going to increase. Patients pay high prices, so they think we charge high fees. We have to provide them with excellent medical services. If they're not satisfied, they'll complain immediately. If all of our colleagues can't keep up with this new era, what will happen to our clinics? We'll have to close them down no matter how we started them!" At this crucial moment, Bian Mu didn't dare to be polite and solemnly reminded Sun Zhengting a few words.

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengting's forehead was already slightly sweaty.

This time, he really understood and was terrified!
Seeing that Sun Zhengting looked somewhat dejected, Bian Mu felt a little guilty and quickly changed her tone.

"Dr. Sun! Let me put it this way, Le Xiaojuan's teeth can be saved. First, we need to take X-rays to find those two hidden supernumerary teeth. If I'm not mistaken, they are two 'support teeth' that will never protrude. Traditional Chinese medicine calls them 'tooth remnants.' If treated properly, Le Xiaojuan's teeth can last for more than ten years longer than other women her age. If not treated properly, she will lose almost all of her teeth before she turns 60. Afterward, we will use our own dental instruments to perform several dental surgeries on her, completely traditional Chinese dental surgeries, to thoroughly open up all twelve meridians of the dental cavity. If necessary, we will also completely seal off the growth environment of those two supernumerary teeth and build several more meridians around them to strengthen the teeth. Her two teeth with obvious symptoms should be saved." Bian Mu explained patiently.

Sun Zhengting was dumbfounded.

Having spent most of his life in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, this was the first time he had ever heard such a new theory on dentistry. If he hadn't heard Bian Mu explain it to him in person, he would never have believed that traditional Chinese medicine could treat teeth to such a refined degree.

Furthermore, for the first time in his life, Sun Zhengting realized what kind of lousy general practitioner he was! He'd wasted decades of his life...
