Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2353 Time-Limited Medicine Lock
Time flies. Mr. Huangfu was particularly attentive to his relative's pre-operative preparations, listening to everything Bian Mu said without daring to make the slightest mistake.

With the coordination of Lu Yisi and Director Yuan, the official surgery time was finally set.

A day in advance, Bian Mu took some time to call Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong to the Little White Building and borrowed a small laboratory. Using experimental figures made of BGD material, they practiced repeatedly. Bian Mu asked the two to remember every step of the operation and to minimize any mistakes.

"This is my first time performing such a complex surgery, and I'm not entirely confident. Fortunately, Dr. Lu and Director Yuan are here to oversee things. At worst, we'll maintain the traditional orthopedic repair. Overall, the risks are manageable! However, for us, this is the first step towards expanding into new business! It concerns our future livelihoods, so we must give it our all!" Before heading back, Bian Mu gave a few special instructions.

"Don't worry, boss! I understand the risks involved," Dr. Gong replied with a smile.

“With the three of you working together, the surgery should be fine, but… looking at the patient’s medical records, he might not follow our medical advice for proper care after discharge… What if he acts recklessly again? Where will we go to complain then?! By the way, I did some research in his neighborhood beforehand. That guy is quite willful in his daily life; his mother spoiled him since he was little. I was thinking of telling you about it a few days ago, but I got busy and forgot.” Dian Shuhua suddenly said these words.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu and Dr. Gong were momentarily stunned.

"Wow! The pre-operative preparations are so meticulous! My bad, my bad! Since we're already here, let's make one more thing clear: in the future, when our clinic performs similar complex surgeries, we need to incorporate this kind of workflow. As for Dr. Dian's concern, I've always had some reservations, but... let me reveal a few technical details to you two. During the surgery, to prevent him from forgetting the pain once the wound heals, I'll do something subtle with the core stress support system of the injured bone—I'll use some medication. After the surgery, for at least three months, even with two strong men helping him on either side, it will be virtually impossible for him to stand up and support himself for even a short time." As he said this, a sly smile crept onto Bian Mu's lips.

Huh?! What kind of incredible move is this?!
Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong were stunned. They looked at each other, unsure of how to ask their boss for advice.

"Hehe... Myasthenia gravis, you've heard of it, right?" Bian Mu said with a smile while tidying up the experimental equipment.

"Hmm..." Dr. Gong nodded gently.

"Boss means... to place a time-limited lock at a critical location in the internal skeletal stress system? A medicinal lock, which will dissolve on its own after a certain period of time. Not only is it sterile, non-toxic, and leaves no trace, but it also contains bone nutrients, which not only helps with postoperative recovery but also does not affect later recovery at all?!" Unexpectedly, Dian Shuhua actually knew about such a secret medicine and technique called a time-limited medicinal lock.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Gong was clearly quite surprised, turning his head to look at Dian Shuhua several times, feeling rather astonished.

"No wonder he was appointed as the head of the branch. He seems quiet and unassuming, but he actually knows quite a lot of things... I still have a long way to go to learn from him..." Dr. Gong couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

“That’s right! It’s the time-limited drug lock! I tried it a few times last winter and the effect was pretty good. There’s no other way, one is an alcoholic, one is a rogue, and the other is particularly rebellious. Without some technical means, it’s better to just turn them away and not treat them!” Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Stop beating around the bush! Tell me quickly, what kind of secret medicine is it?" Dr. Gong asked anxiously.

Hahaha... Bian Mu and his companion were amused by Dr. Gong.

"Back then, some renowned doctors were forced to treat important figures around the imperial palace, including high-ranking officials. If they were unlucky, even renowned doctors from the Imperial Medical Academy or skilled folk healers might encounter some kind of 'ghostly' illness, such as a hidden ailment that could only be treated and not made public. Important figures, especially powerful ministers, would seek to protect their own reputations, or of course, for other special reasons. Some ruthless ones would even take the wrong path. In their view, the dead were the safest option! A few relatively simple-minded doctors would inexplicably run into trouble. Later, after suffering many losses, other doctors gradually devised some special countermeasures. They would secretly administer drugs to these doctors, and before parting, they would give a few hints, assuring them that everything was fine and everyone was doing their part. However, if anyone tried to cause trouble later, these highly effective drugs would take effect. In this way, those not-so-kind important figures would have to be cautious. It was a form of self-defense for our predecessors in those days!" Dian Shuhua explained with a smile while helping Bian Mu tidy up various experimental instruments.

"Oh... it's like... a programmer planting some kind of Trojan horse in a computer program, and activating it for you if you don't pay, right?" Upon hearing this, Dr. Gong suddenly realized and responded with a couple of sentences.

"Yes and no. Our boss is naturally kind and his skills are two levels above others. First, the medicinal properties are enhanced invisibly, for example, nourishing the bones in key areas, right? Second, it provides an extra layer of support, double insurance. This medical knowledge and pharmaceutical level are unmatched by other peers. Looking at the whole country, I estimate there are no more than 10 people like him!" Dian Shuhua replied with a smile.

"That's right, that's right... Hearing that makes my heart... In the future, no matter who it is, as long as they do something bad to our boss, if our boss wants to deal with them, it'll be a piece of cake!" Dr. Gong couldn't help but let out a silvery laugh as she spoke happily.

Hahaha……

"Joking aside, we should try to avoid using these techniques unless absolutely necessary. In any case, these techniques are unorthodox. Our ancestors clearly taught us that a true man should always act in a righteous and ethical manner!" Taking the opportunity, Bian Mu promptly gave his two colleagues some medical ethics education.

"That's true. By the way, boss, is it medicinal incense or something else?"

"Bone paste! Hardened bone paste, with medicinal fragrance and the like placed in the innermost layer. Generally speaking, this kind of bone paste small support needs to be made in seven layers, which is very time-consuming. Also, before leaving the operating room, you must explain to Dr. Lu and Director Yuan. If necessary, you may even have to sign an agreement or something."

Upon hearing this, Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong were taken aback.

"Why would you do that? They're all famous people, and you've always had such a good relationship with them. You can't trust them?!" Dr. Gong muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Bian Mu smiled meaningfully.

“There are some subtle things between people in the same industry, and we have to be careful!” Bian Mu explained with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong seemed to realize something and immediately fell silent.
