Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 193 Running Out of Money_1


"I practice ancient medicine, which emphasizes inspection, listening, inquiry, and palpation."

Facing the patient's astonishment, Jiang Chen merely offered a faint smile. For him, such a minor issue was incredibly simple.

Su Qingqing and Wu Zhiyong stood by, dumbfounded, staring at Jiang Chen.

So impressive!

"Come, lie down." Jiang Chen beckoned the patient into a back room to lie down, then began the acupuncture.

After the needles were placed and the medicine was dispensed, merely five minutes had passed.

"Doctor, you're a miracle!" The patient looked at Jiang Chen with excitement: "I—I've never felt my stomach this comfortable. And your medicine is so cheap; I take medicine every day that costs ten times more than this."

Jiang Chen offered a faint smile: "If you can be cured with cheap medicine, why take the expensive kind?"

"Exactly, exactly, this is truly a clinic with a conscience! Divine Doctor! Next time I need medical care, I'll come here again." The patient left with a delighted face, and at the door, he even turned back and gave Jiang Chen a big thumbs up.

Excitement painted Su Qingqing's face, her eyes looking at Jiang Chen as if she had discovered a treasure.

Meanwhile, Wu Zhiyong's eyes were filled with shock, and then his complexion turned somewhat pale.

"Doctor, I..."

"Osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis!"

Another patient arrived, and Jiang Chen directly called out the patient's condition.

The patient looked at Jiang Chen in a daze, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Is it?" Wu Zhiyong looked at the patient eagerly.

The patient nodded dumbly: "Yes."

Wu Zhiyong's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed. He looked at Jiang Chen in utter disbelief, while Su Qingqing's heart trembled fiercely, feeling that bringing Jiang Chen to the clinic had indeed been the correct choice!

"Come, sit, roll up the leg of your pants!" Jiang Chen called out to the patient, took out the silver needles, pressed a few points on the patient's leg, then proceeded to insert the needles.

Three minutes later, the patient looked at Jiang Chen joyously: "Doctor, you're really amazing! I've had this problem for several years, and now I feel like I'm already better."

"It's not possible to be completely cured, but I will prepare a prescription for you. If you take it consistently for a while, you will certainly see significant improvement," Jiang Chen said with a light laugh.

"Good, good, good, any price for the medicine will do!" the patient uttered excitedly.

With a slight smile, Jiang Chen prepared the medication for the patient and handed it over.

"Doctor, how much?" the patient asked, taking out his wallet and looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen said softly, "65."

"650,000?! That's—that's way too much!" The patient looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but nearly laugh and said amusingly, "I said 65 yuan! 65 yuan."

"65 yuan?" The patient looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, then waving his hand, he said: "Doctor, your skills are excellent; prescribe me some good medicine. Money is no object for me—I want to get better and not suffer again!"

"65 yuan can cure you, why spend more? Though, this is medicine for a week. Just come back in a week for more," Jiang Chen replied with a smile, once again offering the medication to the patient.

The patient dumbly accepted the medication, exclaiming joyfully, "Excellent skill, excellent ethics, a clinic with a conscience indeed!"

After sending off the patient, Jiang Chen glanced at Wu Zhiyong, whose face had now turned pale, his eyes full of shock.

Curling his lip, Jiang Chen continued to see patients.

Then, seven or eight more patients came one after another. Without them having to describe their conditions, Jiang Chen would look at them and immediately diagnose their ailments. He then provided acupuncture and dispensed medicine, all very efficiently.

Every patient was accurately diagnosed, and after the acupuncture, they immediately felt the effects and spent very little money. When the patients left, they were all happy, praising the clinic and extolling Jiang Chen's superb medical skills!

Wu Zhiyong was already stunned silly, standing there with a dazed expression and straightened eyes.

Su Qingqing was brimming with excitement, almost wishing she could run up and give Jiang Chen a couple of kisses.

In just this moment, the restored reputation was immeasurable. Besides the doctor's medical skills, the most important thing for a clinic is its reputation, which is sometimes even more important than the doctor's medical skills!

"Now, do you have anything to say?"

After finishing with the patient at hand, Jiang Chen looked up at Wu Zhiyong.

"Thud!"

Wu Zhiyong suddenly knelt down before Jiang Chen again, "Divine Doctor, you truly are a Divine Doctor. Can I beg you to take me as your disciple, please teach me your medical skills?"

As he spoke, Wu Zhiyong was about to kowtow to Jiang Chen.

"Get up!"

Jiang Chen grabbed him and said coldly, "I am not stingy in teaching my medical skills, but I only pass them on to those who have medical ethics. As you are now, I will not teach you no matter what."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhiyong instantly looked down, his face flushed with shame, not daring to speak.

Su Qingqing was also full of surprise and looked at Jiang Chen with anticipation, "Jiang Chen, can you come to my clinic to see patients?"

Jiang Chen paused for a moment and then replied softly, "Hmm, I'll consider it."

"Alright, no rush!" Su Qingqing nodded quickly.

"Um… Qing Qing, can I use your phone for a moment? I need to make a call to my friend." Jiang Chen asked somewhat embarrassedly.

Su Qingqing quickly took out her phone.

Jiang Chen took the phone and dialed Gong Lin's mobile number.

"Beep... Beep... Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable!"

The phone rang twice before the call was disconnected by the other side.

Jiang Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and guessed that Gong Lin didn't pick up calls from unknown numbers. Eventually, he shook his head helplessly, returned the phone to Su Qingqing, and asked awkwardly, "Qing Qing, could you lend me some money?"

"I, I don't have much either…"

Su Qingqing said with an embarrassed look, then suddenly realized and quickly explained, "It's not that I won't lend it to you. A small amount would be fine, but I really don't have much. My father was falsely accused of causing a patient's death and was arrested. I spent all my savings trying to save him, but unfortunately, after he got out, he passed away due to depression. Now all I have left is a car, a house, and this clinic, and there's only a few hundred in the account!"

As she spoke, Su Qingqing's complexion darkened, and tears swirled in her eyes.

Jiang Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, knowing it would be inappropriate to ask her for money in this situation.

"If you cure him, I can give you ten million!" Just then, a loud shout came from outside.

Jiang Chen was startled, turned, and looked outside the clinic.

After glancing outside, Jiang Chen turned to Su Qingqing and asked, "What's that over there?"

"That's another clinic across from us, our clinic's rival. The doctor there is pretty skilled but lacks medical ethics. He was always overshadowed by my father, but since my father's death, he now claims to be Dingjing's number one Divine Doctor."

A hint of anger flashed in Su Qingqing's eyes as she glanced at Wu Zhiyong.

Feeling guilty, Wu Zhiyong quickly turned his head away from Su Qingqing.

But Jiang Chen's eyes lit up and he immediately dashed out of the clinic. Su Qingqing, startled, hurriedly followed him out.
