Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, First Municipal Hospital.

After the last patient left the consultation room, Lin Yuan finally closed the medical record book.

After a busy day, he finally finished all his work.

Today he took over Li Xiaohui's shift at the clinic, and throughout the morning, he saw and cured a total of eight patients.

There are female patients with insomnia and liver stagnation, middle-aged people with cold and dampness-induced arthralgia, and office workers with severe lumbar muscle strain that has been difficult to cure.

Whether it's herbal medicine, acupuncture, or massage, it cures all ailments instantly.

Every patient who finished their consultation was filled with admiration and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

In just one morning, Lin Yuan had already built up an excellent reputation at the outpatient clinic.

Many patients privately inquired about his name after seeing him, saying they would only seek his medical attention in the future.

Even though there were no appointments scheduled for the afternoon, Lin Yuan didn't rest.

He focused on taking care of the old patients left behind by Li Xiaohui.

I reviewed each follow-up visit record, monitored the recovery progress, and adjusted the medication dosage.

For some patients who did not recover well, he would call them specifically to remind them of dietary and lifestyle restrictions.

We carefully and meticulously handled all the final tasks.

I could have left work on time at six o'clock.

However, as the treatment was nearing its end, one of the elderly patients experienced a mild detoxification reaction after taking the medication. He became extremely anxious and came to the hospital specifically to inquire about it.

Lin Yuan patiently stayed to comfort her, re-examined her condition, adjusted the prescription, and worked overtime to complete the process.

By the time we finished everything, it was already getting dark.

After packing up his white coat, Lin Yuan picked up his things and went straight home after get off work.

Back home, the house was quiet.

The living room was empty; only the sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen.

Xu Yue'e, wearing an apron, was busy preparing dinner at the stove.

In the huge house, neither Lin Jianguo, the father-in-law, nor Lin Wanrou could be seen.

Lin Yuan changed his shoes and walked into the house, casually asking a question.

"Mom, haven't Dad and Wanrou come back yet?"

Xu Yue'e kept chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone was clearly worried.

"Not yet."

"Something happened at your dad's clinic just now."

"They spoke in a hurry on the phone, and I didn't quite understand what they were saying."

"Wanrou was worried, so she rushed over to check on the situation. It's been half a day, and there's still no news."

Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

A few doubts instantly arose in my mind.

My father-in-law, Lin Jianguo, only runs a small community clinic.

I usually see my neighbors suffering from headaches, fevers, minor colds, and sprains.

Business was slow and stable, with almost no problems.

What could possibly happen?

"Something happened at the clinic?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Hmm." Xu Yue'e nodded and sighed.

"I don't know the specifics, but your dad just called. He sounded very anxious and his voice was quite disorganized."

Lin Yuan felt a vague unease.

It's not something that can be rushed like this.

The fact that her father-in-law made a hasty phone call and that Lin Wanrou rushed over was definitely no small matter.

He immediately turned around, preparing to walk out.

"Mom, I'm going over to take a look."

Xu Yue'e quickly began to give instructions.

"Okay, go check on the situation."

"If it's nothing serious, let the father and daughter come back for dinner early. The food will be ready soon."

"Don't stay up too late there."

"understood."

Lin Yuan responded and did not linger any longer.

He closed the door behind him and hurried off to his father-in-law Lin Jianguo's private clinic.

He knew it very well.

My father-in-law is an honest and upright man who has practiced medicine for decades. He is cautious, disciplined, and never causes trouble.

The sudden incident today is most likely due to medical malpractice, or perhaps someone deliberately causing trouble or coming to make a scene.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan quickened his pace.

No matter who stirs up trouble, they shouldn't even think about bullying the Lin family!

Lin Jianguo's private clinic is located in the ground floor shops facing the street in the residential area.

It's only two or three hundred meters from home, just a few minutes' walk away.

Lin Yuan hurried over.

Before I even got close, I saw a group of neighbors gathered in front of the clinic.

They were all passersby who were just there to watch the spectacle, and they gathered in twos and threes, whispering among themselves.

The clinic's glass door was half-closed, and the argument inside, though not loud, was unusually tense.

There were no exaggerated farces involving tantrums or rolling on the ground.

But that unreasonable and persistent attitude made it clear to anyone with eyes that something was wrong.

Lin Yuan pushed through the crowd and entered the clinic.

The atmosphere inside the room was extremely oppressive.

Lin Jianguo, wearing a white coat, looked both somber and helpless.

He has been running this community clinic for over ten years.

He is honest, cautious in his medical practice, conservative in his prescriptions, and never overcharges or prescribes unnecessary medications.

It has an excellent reputation in this residential area, and all its repeat customers are local residents.

Because of its stable business and good reputation, it has always been coveted by the newly opened Western medicine clinic next door.

The newly opened clinic on that street was run by a ruthless and opportunistic owner who was constantly targeting Lin Jianguo in order to steal his customers.

This dispute today is not an ordinary doctor-patient conflict at all.

It means the other party specifically hired people to deliberately cause trouble.

Lin Wanrou stood beside her father, her face cold and her brows furrowed.

She could tell that the mother and son were deliberately finding fault with each sentence and were not genuinely seeking medical treatment or protecting their rights.

A middle-aged woman in her forties was sitting opposite me.

He had a domineering look on his face and kept muttering to himself, each sentence carrying a targeted tone.

Her son, around twenty years old, stood beside her, his face cold and silent the entire time.

Their attitude was tough, making it clear they were going to cause trouble today.

Things seem simple on the surface.

Around 3 p.m., the woman came to the door, saying that she had been suffering from dizziness, weakness, and insomnia for a long time.

Lin Jianguo followed standard Western medical procedures, including consultation, physical examination, and blood pressure measurement.

After investigating the basic issues, it was determined that the problem was simply long-term sleep deprivation, neurasthenia, and general poor health.

No antibiotics or strong medications were prescribed.

I only opened a few boxes of the cheapest and mildest vitamins and nutritional supplements.

It is a completely safe and reliable routine treatment plan.

Who knew that after the woman took the medicine home and finished it once, she turned around and came back with her son, attacking them.

He immediately complained that he felt bloated, nauseous, and unwell after taking the medicine.

They insisted that Lin Jianguo was incompetent in medicine, prescribed random medications, and caused her health problems.

But the real trick wasn't in the medicine at all.

This mother and son were hired shills by the owner of the clinic next door.

The goal is simple.

They smeared Lin Jianguo's reputation, created medical disputes, and caused a great deal of impact.

This deterred nearby residents from seeking medical treatment, ultimately bankrupting the long-established clinic.

"You quack! I only had a minor ailment!"

"After taking the medicine you prescribed, my stomach is bloated and I feel unwell all over!"

"You must apologize to me today, refund my money, and compensate me!"

The middle-aged woman sat in the chair, refusing to back down.

Lin Jianguo patiently took out the prescription and medicine box and explained it to him little by little.

"Ms. Wang, I only prescribed you regular vitamins and nutritional supplements."

"The ingredients are very simple, there is no irritation, and it is almost impossible for adverse drug reactions to occur."

"Your bloating is most likely due to taking the medication on an empty stomach and a sensitive stomach, causing temporary discomfort. It should subside after a rest."

This explanation is reasonable, well-founded, and professionally sound.

But the mother and son wouldn't listen at all.

They came here to cause trouble, not to hear explanations.

The young man took a step forward, his tone cold and forceful.

"Don't use those technical jargon, we don't understand them."

"It's a fact that my mother felt unwell after seeing a doctor and taking medicine here."

"We'll either settle this with money, or we'll file a complaint with the Health and Family Planning Bureau."

"And let everyone on this street know that you got sick from the food you ate at this clinic!"

These words completely exposed his intentions.

It's not about protecting rights at all; it's purely about threatening to extort money and damaging their reputation.

Lin Jianguo felt a tightness in his chest from anger.

He has practiced medicine his whole life, always honest and upright, and has never encountered such shameless targeting.

The other party clearly came prepared, refusing to listen to reason and determined to fight to the bitter end.

Lin Wanrou couldn't help but speak up in defense.

"You guys are being reasonable. My dad has run a clinic for over ten years and has never had a single medical problem."

"The medicine is a legitimate Western medicine, and the prescription is compliant. You're just deliberately causing trouble!"

"Looking for trouble?"

The middle-aged woman immediately raised her voice and deliberately started shouting.

"Just because a patient isn't feeling well doesn't mean they're being difficult! Your clinic thinks you can bully ordinary people just because it's been open for a long time!"

She deliberately made a loud noise to attract passersby and ruin her reputation.

The situation instantly reached a stalemate.
