Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2376 Refusing to Leave

The "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is not only characterized by its avant-garde medical philosophy and superb medical skills, but also by its unique and exquisitely designed medical equipment. Bian Mu has even applied for and registered a number of patents for this equipment.

Every now and then, manufacturers with a keen market sense would approach Bian Mu, hoping to collaborate and bring some of his affordable and high-quality TCM-specific medical devices to market, so they could make some money.

Bian Mu politely declined them all.

Colleagues privately say that their boss is very picky and looks down on such a small amount of money. Bian Mu would at most just smile indifferently, never commenting or denying.

The acupuncture box I'm using tonight is similar to a medical device. The support is equipped with a hydraulic device, which can make slight adjustments according to the weight of the acupuncture box at any time. The bottom of the acupuncture box is also equipped with micro-mechanical devices, timers, simple gyroscope linkages, and the like. When the moxa stick has burned down to almost nothing, those related devices will naturally make some kind of fine adjustment, steadily and without careful observation, you can't even see it.

To craft these exquisite machines, Bian Mu spent a considerable amount of money on skilled craftsmen at the "Flower Field Ghost Market."

In addition, the moxa sticks used by Bian Mu are specially made, almost smokeless and not pungent at all. By the end of a course of treatment, everyone in the room felt as if they were smelling incense, without any discomfort.

Seeing that Xiao Jianfeng was having some difficulty understanding, Bian Mu had to explain a few more words.

"Director Ma came over and we chatted for a bit. Afterwards, we did some investigation into your factory. Overall, we were quite impressed. At least, the foundation laid by Cao Qiling and his family over three generations is quite solid. The foundation is just one part of it. It's getting late, and some things can't be explained in just a few words. I have to go out for outpatient clinics tomorrow, so I won't go into detail here. The moxibustion is basically over. I'll tidy up my things. You can turn over and rest for a bit. I'll get up when I mention it later!" As she spoke, Bian Mu got up and packed the moxibustion equipment into her backpack.

Afterwards, Bian Mu went to the door of the small bedroom and called out to Xiao's granddaughter to come out and help.

The two men stood on either side of Xiao Jianfeng and helped him sit up.

"Take it easy! Over time, your muscles, bones, nerves... all systems will gradually lose a lot of their previous memories, and it won't recover in a short time! Head up, chest out... Yes! Take a breath in your lower abdomen, yes! Just like that, focus your attention on your lower back. Don't rely solely on your legs, knees, and feet to support your entire body. The main thing is to rely on the energy and spirit in your lower back and the combined force of your thigh muscles to push your head and shoulders towards the ceiling... Yes! Just like that, don't worry! We're here to protect you, you won't fall!" As she spoke, Bian Mu patiently instructed Xiao Jianfeng on how to inhale, twist, and push his shoulders.

Xiao Jianfeng was, after all, a highly educated man who had spent most of his life immersed in the field of pharmacy. He possessed at least some basic medical knowledge, and after repeated attempts, he felt that his lower back was gradually starting to feel stronger...

Huh?! It's standing still already?!
Bian Mu winked at the granddaughter of the Xiao family, signaling her to let go first.

After a slight hesitation, the granddaughter of the Xiao family ultimately chose to believe Bian Mu and silently took a few steps back.

Bian Mu also quietly dropped his hand.

Through his own efforts, Xiao Jianfeng managed to stand firm...

"It's okay, try taking a few steps forward," Bian Mu encouraged with a smile.

Xiao Jianfeng tried moving a few steps forward. It was alright, much better than he had imagined...

Then, Bian Mu instructed Xiao Jianfeng to repeatedly raise his head, straighten his chest, lift his breath, and concentrate his mind... just like teaching a child to walk.

The entire Xiao family was truly convinced!
Bian Mu's medical skills are even more amazing than the rumors suggest!
"That's enough for today. Starting tomorrow, with your family's help, practice for half an hour each morning and evening. If you feel you can't keep up, take a break. When you've had enough diarrhea and vomiting, give me a call and I'll come over and give you a few more acupuncture treatments." After saying a few more polite words, Bian Mu took his leave.

The Xiao family expressed their gratitude profusely for a long time, and the Xiao family's granddaughter escorted Bian Mu all the way to the car.

"Take good care of Engineer Xiao. He'll be almost fully recovered in no time. I'll explain the details to you later. The factory is a good factory, but it needs a different business model. It's time for your family of three generations to change your way of life. In the future, I might have to trouble you to help me with many things!"

"We don't have that ability, but... for something simple... as long as it's within our power, we'll definitely do our best!" The granddaughter of the Xiao family quickly stated. "It's getting late, don't mention the acupuncture to outsiders tonight, just pretend you don't know anything!"

"Got it! Be careful on the road!"

"Sure!" With that, Bian Mu got into the car, started the engine, and drove off.

……

The next morning, everything was as usual, and Bian Mu continued to see patients in the outpatient clinic.

Just before I was about to leave work at noon, Teng Daili called me.

Bian Mu didn't answer, and continued to perform bone-setting treatment on a young man...

After finishing everything, Bian Mu finally called Teng Daili back.

"We've encountered a female patient here, a mother of two, divorced less than three years ago. She comes to our clinic every day crying and wailing, and we can't persuade her to leave no matter what we do. I'm really at my wit's end, so I'm asking you for advice, just to avoid further damaging our clinic's reputation..." Teng Daili reported directly over the phone.

"Outsider?" Bian Mu asked casually over the phone, his tone slightly indifferent.

Nowadays, Bian Mu has become more and more composed, and he no longer reacts with alarm in the face of things. As the head of the gymnasium, he knows how important calmness is to the subtle influence of his colleagues.

"Yes, it's a water town in Jiangnan. She came here to work at a young age and settled down here. The man was said to be quite handsome, but he was irresponsible and never earned much money. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and they divorced. She's soft-hearted and afraid that the children would suffer, so she insisted on raising both children herself. Her daughter is older and in the first year of junior high school, while her son is only in kindergarten. If it weren't for her family's constant support, she probably would have returned to her hometown long ago."

What illness?

"A comminuted fracture of the tibial plateau. For some reason, the hospital recommended conservative treatment..." On the other end of the phone, Teng Daili quickly gave a brief introduction to the female patient's condition.

"Oh... you don't have much money on hand? You can't afford the self-funded portion?" Bian Mu asked casually over the phone.

“That was definitely a consideration, but… judging from the images, the degree of the split is quite unusual… to put it simply, if I were the head of orthopedics, I wouldn’t easily choose to operate on her…”

"Which type?" Bian Mu pressed on the other end of the phone.

Type IV!

"So heavy?!"

"Of course, she... she's probably being instigated by someone behind her back... she insists on staying here, and we don't have the capacity to handle that. Her injuries are so complicated, we can't possibly push it to you, which has caused several days of delay! This morning she was acting quite strangely, and I just couldn't hold on any longer, so I..."

"It's alright, leave it to me! Where is she?"

"I'm here! I'm not leaving no matter what..."

"It's okay, I'll be right there." With that, Bian Mu hung up the phone.
