Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2458 Free Clinic
On the 17th day of the lunar calendar, the night sky was clear and a deep gray-blue. The moon was exceptionally bright, almost dazzling when viewed from afar.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Bian Mu unconsciously stretched out his left hand and performed some divination with one hand for a while...

The "Nine Palaces Finger Lesson" involves tapping and pointing with the thumb, appearing quite skilled.

My grandfather taught me some basic traditional mental arithmetic, which is an advanced ancient divination algorithm similar to "One Palm Gold". It is simple and efficient. After entering university, I consulted a lot of related materials in the library. Bian Mu combined those palm-based divination techniques such as "Six Ren Time Lessons", "Nine Chapters Palm Gold Technique", and "12 Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Drumming Technique" and developed a small divination system called "Nine Palaces Finger Lessons".

"Oh! Bingwu corresponds to 'Heavenly Fire,' but... this year, in Lijin and Lishi, and the surrounding areas, the earth's energy is unexpectedly showing a persistently cold trend. Is it cold enveloping fire?! Tomorrow is the Beginning of Summer, and the cold earth energy shows no sign of fully returning to its proper place. There will definitely be a lot of seasonal illnesses coming out soon. Anyway, I'm just resting, so why don't I ask the community to organize a free clinic? I can settle the debts I've accumulated over the years." With that in mind, Bian Mu decided to do a free clinic for a day tomorrow, as a way of giving back to the community.

Feeling a bit rusty, Bian Mu habitually stretched out his right hand and used his thumb to poke and push a divination. It was alright, the speed was obviously much slower, but there were no mistakes. The divination result was unremarkable, so Bian Mu was too lazy to interpret it.

Back in the study, Bian Mu moved a computer case from the foot of the bed. The case was heavy, and worried that the noise would disturb the downstairs neighbors, Bian Mu deliberately placed it gently on the side of the desk. After connecting the wires and powering it on, Bian Mu connected the laptop and the computer case to the same monitor.

A while ago, Bian Mu bought a bunch of second-hand parts at the computer mall. Some parts were out of stock, so he ordered a few online. Luckily, he didn't have any major problems. With the help of his classmate Xiao He, Bian Mu installed a smart assistant for himself. It was like an AI person and was almost always on. Bian Mu named it Xia Xia!

Xia usually assists Bian Mu in constantly sorting out the patient information that flows into the "mathematical" system every day, classifying, integrating similar information, and screening for specific cases... Xia has cost Bian Mu more than 4 yuan, and so far she has not made any mistakes. She is diligent and well-behaved!
After logging in with the password, Bian Mu glanced at the screen and gradually realized that the level of comprehensive TCM diagnosis and treatment in Lijin was quite good.

From time to time, Bian Mu would help various friends treat patients with more complex conditions, such as Engineer Xue, who worked under Qi Yuewei. Generally, Bian Mu would offer some guidance on the most difficult and crucial medical details, and for specific treatment, he would recommend some reputable hospitals where renowned doctors would provide more comprehensive treatment.

Unbeknownst to many, the local top-tier hospitals have in fact formed a very good business partnership with the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. Some patients have been admitted to the inpatient departments of major hospitals in a timely manner and have received better treatment, which can be described as a win-win situation.

The analysis report provided by Xia proves that the condition of more than 70% of similar patients has been well controlled.

Bian Mu was very pleased with this.

"As a whole, it seems that we don't have much of a technical advantage over our competitors, at least not a crushing one. It looks like we still have to work harder!" Bian Mu thought to himself.

Master Geng performed his duties very conscientiously, and the relevant follow-up information was also entered into Xia's system. The feedback from patients and their families showed that the vast majority of doctors gave Bian Mu face, and the medical advice provided by Bian Mu was highly recognized by his colleagues.

Seeing this, Bian Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

In Bian Mu's view, similar benign mutual aid and cooperative medical care may become more intelligent, standardized, interconnected and knowledgeable in the future... The vast majority of patients and their families will naturally become the biggest beneficiaries, with a considerable number of patients saving a lot of money, and the reimbursement pressure on medical insurance will also be reduced.

It benefits both yourself and others! That's great!

Scrolling down, Bian Mu discovered that Gu Yuefeng had started uploading relevant medical records. Although the quantity was still small and the quality was average, it was at least a start, and things would gradually improve.

Xia was becoming increasingly adept at it, and Bian Mu felt that the robot assistant's work was progressing quite well.

The next morning, after breakfast, Bian Mu called Bian Yue to let her know that her parents were having a great time and everything was going well for the family, so she shouldn't worry!
Carrying a garbage bag, Bian Mu went downstairs to contact the community director to see where she could set up a stall and offer free medical consultations for a morning.

As Bian Mu approached the entrance of the community office building, he saw Director Cheng walking quickly toward him.

"Dr. Bian! Are you still working on May Day?"

"No! We're on holiday there too, but we came to ask you where it would be more convenient to set up a booth and provide free medical consultations."

"Really? We've got the same idea. It would be a waste of your talent to have a famous doctor like you set up a stall on the street. It just so happens that our community had a problem a while ago. You're usually so busy, so it's not good to bother you. Also... that man's condition is a bit special. I don't know if you'd be willing to take on the case!"

"Oh...is the condition quite critical?"

"Well... that kind of illness... it might not be suitable for you... but his condition is unpredictable, and he was admitted to the specialist hospital but his family had to take him home not long afterward, which is quite troublesome!"

"Is there some kind of mental problem?" Bian Mu casually guessed.

Director Cheng of the community nodded quickly.

"We usually recommend this kind of illness to the Mental Health Institute. How old is he?"

"46, just had his birthday. I heard that he was having a good time on his birthday, but then he suddenly smashed his birthday cake to pieces, yelled at his wife, and scared his two kids so much that they cried. Sigh!"

"He's 46, born in the Year of the Monkey... born in 80... you need to help me understand his birth date and time."

"Huh?! You ask about birth dates and times when you see a doctor?!" Director Cheng asked in surprise, his eyes wide.

"Not entirely. For patients like him, we need to take a closer look and carefully compare all the medical parameters. Does he usually hit people?"

"Not really. He's not the manic type. I haven't heard much about domestic violence, but he can suddenly change his temperament drastically. He might burst into song for a while, which helps him feel better. When he's normal, he can seriously explain math problems to the neighbor's kid. I've watched him a few times; he's very serious and meticulous. Sometimes, we find it quite amazing. By the way, he's relatively polite to strangers now, but his attitude towards his family is terrible. He stayed in the hospital for a while, and the doctor said that staying in the ward for a long time would actually worsen his condition. They suggested he go home and think of a solution. Anyway, he's not the destructive type. Dr. Bian, would you be willing to think of a solution?"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu frowned.
