"Maybe we shouldn't call Liu Shao, huh?"
Lu Xuan hesitated and said.
"The streamer is called Liu Shao?"
Wang Youqing subconsciously asked.
"Yeah."
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, there's really no need to call him. After all, he didn't know this would happen, and he only had good intentions. We can't say he did something wrong, right?"
"You have a point, but this matter did start because of him, and it had such a big impact. I think it's better to contact him. Before I approached you, I had already informed the director. Her suggestion was also to get in touch with this patient. In any case, we should prevent the situation from escalating further."
"If you don't reach out, can you guarantee he thinks the same way you do?"
"If he were just an ordinary person, it would be one thing, but he's a streamer—and a very popular one with millions of followers. If he speaks out, it could have a huge impact on you and the Health Center."
"Obviously, we have nothing to hide and nothing to be afraid of, but if someone with an agenda takes this and spins it, it could be bad for both you and the Health Center."
Seeing Wang Youqing insist, and knowing the director was on the same page, Lu Xuan didn't persist. "Alright then, but should I reach out to him? After all, he's my patient."
Upon hearing this, Wang Youqing chuckled, "Let me handle it. Even if I say something harsh and offend him, it won't reflect on you. Besides, I've dealt with similar tasks for the Health Center in the past. Rest assured."
"Of course I trust you, Uncle, but I feel bad having you play the bad guy. After all, Liu Shao is my patient…"
"Alright, enough chatter. If we keep talking, Liu Shao might release a statement, and it might be too late to manage things."
Lu Xuan didn't say any more.
After ending the call with Lu Xuan, Wang Youqing found Liu Shao's contact information through the Health Center's system and dialed the number.
The phone rang a few times before someone picked up.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Is this Mr. Liu Shao?"
"And you are…?"
Wang Youqing gave a friendly smile, "I'm a staff member from Qiu City's Street Health Center. My surname is Wang."
Upon hearing it was the Health Center, Liu Shao immediately replied, "Hello, Dr. Wang."
"What can I do for you?"
Wang Youqing briefly explained the trending topic and last night's livestream incident, then stated earnestly, "Mr. Liu, I know you mentioned those things in the livestream out of trust for Dr. Lu and an acknowledgment of his skills. But Dr. Lu's reputation is still new, and most people haven't heard of him yet.
You also know that our Health Center doctors aren't well-regarded. Except for minor conditions, if you come here, most people wouldn't even give us a second glance, right?"
Liu Shao didn't argue.
This was indeed the case.
When he learned Dr. Lu was seeing patients at the Health Center, he hesitated for a long time. But eventually, he couldn't resist a strong recommendation, thinking it was better to try than not. He didn't expect to find a skilled doctor like Dr. Lu at the Health Center.
Wang Youqing continued, "With so many people uninformed, misunderstandings naturally arise. I understand your good intentions, but people unaware of Dr. Lu's abilities might not. Also..."
He hesitated for a moment, gritting his teeth, "Let me be frank. I watched a bit of your livestream. Overall, there were no major issues, but the one thing you shouldn't have done was exaggerate by saying Dr. Lu diagnosed diabetes just by checking your pulse. Think about it; is that possible?
Even those unfamiliar with traditional Chinese medicine have heard of observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking. How can one accurately diagnose a condition by just taking the pulse?
Mr. Liu, the reason I'm calling is to hope you'll be fact-based in future promotions and refrain from embellishing Dr. Lu's medical details. Otherwise, it could do more harm than good.
Today's trending news is a clear example.
We know Dr. Lu is skilled, but interpreting things out of context is unnecessary. What we know, others might not. This information gap can easily lead to misunderstandings."
At this point, Liu Shao, who was still unsure, finally understood the message Wang Youqing was trying to convey.
Liu Shao couldn't help but laugh, "Dr. Wang, before calling me, you certainly hadn't spoken with Dr. Lu. In my livestream yesterday, there was no exaggeration or embellishment whatsoever."
Exaggeration?
Taking things out of context?
Could Liu Shao be that kind of person?
Wang Youqing seemed puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Did I say something wrong?
He was quite confused.
Did Liu Shao mean he didn't exaggerate?
Liu Shao explained, "You advised me not to exaggerate when promoting Dr. Lu's details, but I truly didn't exaggerate. Dr. Lu accurately diagnosed me with diabetes just by taking my pulse."
Wang Youqing was taken aback; diagnosing an illness just through pulse-taking seemed mythical. Moreover, the difficulty of diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine is widely recognized in the medical community.
