Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2267 Was there such a female doctor?
From the moment she entered until someone suggested attending the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic for further studies, there had been enough time to allow for a buffer period, and Bian Mu had already figured things out in her mind.

"Oh dear! You're exaggerating! We're just a small, independent clinic, barely holding the title of 'national' in our name. We're only here because our colleagues have been kind enough to give us a chance, really! It's not that our three clinics have exceptional overall technical skills. You are all senior practitioners, and I wouldn't dare to make such claims in this setting. The so-called success stories you've mentioned are mostly due to chance, not the hard work and expertise of our clinics. There's definitely an element of chance involved. The internships are already very challenging, and I really don't want to hinder the future of those students. I'm not trying to shirk responsibility! I hope you can understand. As for further training, that's even more difficult. Objectively speaking, since you've been kind enough to allow me to come and take a seat, could you consider having our colleagues attend a university of traditional Chinese medicine or a reputable hospital for further training after the Spring Festival? We'll naturally cover all the costs ourselves and won't be a burden on you!" Alright! Using a strategy of retreat as a means of advancement, Bian Mu suddenly made a counterattack, sincerely pleading with the leaders present to give him a chance so that he could arrange for other colleagues at the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, and even himself, to pursue further studies at a medical university or a reputable top-tier hospital for a period of time.

Cai Huaixin was furious.

He could never do such a thing in front of so many old acquaintances. For a moment, he felt a tightness in his chest, unable to breathe properly.

After hearing these words, everyone present realized that Bian Mu was actually quite difficult to deal with. Some of the rumors on the street were probably true. Master Bian was indeed not easy to deal with. At the very least, he was quick-witted and his eloquence was second to none.

More importantly, Bian Mu is clearly not afraid of offending his colleagues in the industry. No matter who they are, he will never compromise if they do not meet his expectations.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Just then, a woman in her late forties received a phone call. Her phone was on vibrate mode, so it didn't alert anyone else present.

The woman glanced at it briefly, her expression shifting between light and dark. She quickly stood up, gave a polite bow to the crowd, and then went outside to answer a call.

Cai Huaixin felt he had lost face today and even forgot about the important step of ordering food. Fortunately, the man in his late thirties sitting next to him was quick-witted. Seeing that Bian Mu was so uncooperative, and that they couldn't just sit there hungry, he coughed twice and picked up the iPad on the table to start ordering.

Clearly, they often get together, and they coordinate their orders quite well.

Bian Mu had actually intended to leave the table earlier, but after much consideration, she realized that she would inevitably have to deal with Cai Huaixin in the future, and a complete falling out would not benefit either of them. So, she reluctantly ordered a home-style dish called "Premium Tofu" when it was her turn.

Just as Cai Huaixin had already arranged for the waiter to go to the kitchen to set out the dishes, the middle-aged woman who had gone out to make a phone call earlier returned.

Instead of returning to her original seat, she changed direction and walked straight towards where Bian Mu was sitting.

"Master! Is it convenient to discuss something with you?"

"Please speak!" Slightly taken aback, Bian Mu quickly replied.

"May I have a word with you in private?" The middle-aged woman's expression betrayed a hint of nervousness.

Bian Mu immediately guessed that someone in the woman's family or home might have fallen seriously ill.

"This way, please!" With that, Bian Mu gestured and got up to walk towards the terrace with the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Two-thirds of the large terrace was enclosed by a glass screen, completely shielding it from the cold wind. If you stood there discussing something, you wouldn't hear a word from the restaurant. "What's wrong? Is there an emergency at home?"

"My nephew... graduated over a year ago. With the help of relatives and his own hard work, he finally got a job. He was supposed to report for duty today, but the HR suddenly asked for a second English interview. English has always been his weak point, and he got nervous and something went wrong. The company was terrified and rushed him to a nearby hospital. My colleague just called, saying that he was taken to our hospital because of me, and everyone did their best. But unfortunately, the symptoms of my nephew's cardiac arrest couldn't be completely eliminated. Let me clarify, he's always been very healthy, and there's absolutely no medical suspicion of heart disease or cerebrovascular disease. Really! I've watched him grow up, and he's always been very strong! Later, the specialists consulted and said it would be best to find a skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look. Time is of the essence, so I thought of you. Could you please help me?"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu frowned.

"Are you on a non-invasive ventilator?" Bian Mu asked casually.

"Yes, but... most of his vital signs are normal," the middle-aged woman quickly replied.

Do you experience urinary or fecal incontinence?

"No, no! He's just overly stressed... An old expert in my area said... this matter has a bit of a mystical element to it, and it would be better to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He said my nephew is still young, and he doesn't want to cause him any lasting effects..."

"Then call and ask what state your nephew's fists are in right now, preferably take a few pictures. Also, take off his socks, don't move his feet, and observe how they react in a natural state. After that, ask a trustworthy doctor to use cotton swabs, turned inside out, to tickle the soles of his feet and see how he reacts. Record a video as well..."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" After saying that, the middle-aged woman went to the other end of the terrace to make a phone call.

Bian Mu turned around and went back to the restaurant. However, he did not return to his original seat. Instead, he found a small folding chair against the wall, unfolded it, and sat there for a while.

Cai Huaixin glanced at Bian Mu's seat every now and then, her eyes filled with confusion.

Bian Mu was annoyed by his mischief and deliberately ignored him.

After a while, the middle-aged woman came out and nodded gently to Bian Mu.

Bian Mu got up and went back onto the terrace, took the middle-aged woman's phone, and browsed through it for a while.

I looked through all the photos and videos.

“It is indeed a bit strange... However, it is not difficult to deal with. Does your hospital’s TCM department have any doctors like that? I mean... around 35 years old, preferably a female doctor secretly selected, who has not been doing very well, but is properly trained in the field, and usually has a good reputation among colleagues, at least in acupuncture, she is impeccable…” Bian Mu suddenly said these words.

After hearing these words, the middle-aged woman was stunned and couldn't understand what Bian Mu meant for a long time.
