The next day, Daya drove Liu Xia Lian to her uncle's clinic in the county town. As usual, there were a lot of people there, and there were more than a dozen people queuing before the clinic opened.

The rules set by my uncle are that 15 people can come in the morning and 15 people can come in the afternoon, and the shop will be closed after they finish watching. However, villagers from all over the country can cut in line. It is my uncle's second apprentice, Li Sizhen, who will show it to you. My uncle will only help if he doesn't understand.

Today, Xu Shiba brought his younger brother Xu Shiqi to come to pay homage to his master, and Liu Xia Lian, as the eldest senior sister, must come.

The etiquette was simple. The uncle sat on the armchair, and Xu Shiqi came over to serve tea respectfully, and the matter was over. Xu Guozhen was only five or six years older than Xu Shiqi, but he had to have the airs of a master. He said earnestly: "As a doctor, we receive money for treating patients. This is what we deserve, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. But we cannot use it to make money, Shiqi, do you understand what I mean?"

"We know what the patient's illness is. We should tell him what the illness is. We must not treat a non-illness as a real one, or a minor illness as a major one."

Xu Guozhen nodded: "Okay, I'll learn from you."

Uncle took Xu Shiqi to start the clinic. Liu Xia Lian and Daya were resting in the next room, and the second junior brother was busy in the pharmacy.

When a patient comes in, my uncle takes his pulse first, and then asks Xu Shiqi to do the same, but they cannot interrupt the patient while he is treating the disease. They have to record the pulse first and discuss it later.

When I saw the fourth patient, he was a middle-aged man in his fifties, very thin. His accompanying family member was his son, who was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, very strong and seemed to be from a military background.

The patient wanted to speak, but the uncle waved his hand and said, "No need to speak."

Two minutes later, Xu Shiqi was asked to feel the patient's pulse and record it in a notebook.

The uncle took out a pen and paper to write a prescription. He quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to the patient: "Go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. You will be almost cured in seven days. Also, you are in a very bad mental state. You are making a big deal about such a small problem. Go out more in the morning and evening, get more sun, and if you don't have the burning sensation after a week, you should be almost cured. In the future, remember not to drink anything too hot, and don't drink tea or soup too hot."

The father and son went to the pharmacy to get medicine for seven days. Although the Chinese herbal medicine Liu Xia Lian gave was twice as expensive, the uncle was not a rip-off and prescribed the normal dosage. The total cost was eleven yuan and twenty cents, plus the three yuan consultation fee, the total was less than fifteen yuan.

The patient didn't say anything. The patient's son was unhappy: "I think this doctor is a liar. He told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. What kind of nonsense is it that he prescribes medicine just by touching your wrist? Do you know what disease you have?"

My uncle sees all kinds of patients every day, so he naturally doesn't get angry. He smiled and said, "Little brother, we run a clinic based on fate. Your father's coming here means it's fate. If you trust me, I will treat you. If you don't trust me, the door is open, you can turn around and leave, I will definitely not stop you."

The young man was very angry: "What's the matter? You want to chase me away just because others have found out? I won't leave until you explain the matter clearly today. Tell me, what is my father's disease?"

"Your father has an esophageal ulcer. To put it simply, it's because he usually drinks tea or soup that is too hot, and there is a small wound on the surface. It's not a big deal. I understand that you care about your father, but having a bad temper is never a good thing."

The young man took out his father's medical records from a big hospital and said, "This is the examination result from the big hospital in the provincial capital. Look, everyone, my father has an esophageal tumor and needs surgery and chemotherapy. He actually told me that he would be fine after taking medicine for a week."

The patients waiting in line behind him refused to accept the offer and tried to persuade him: "Young man, if you don't want to see the doctor, don't make trouble here. Nine out of ten patients here cannot be treated well by big hospitals. If you are willing to trust big hospitals, take your father to have surgery, but don't delay our treatment."

"How foolish! I'm afraid you'll be deceived. The big hospital says that this is a disease that must be operated on. I don't believe that a little grass root or tree bark can cure it."

My uncle was also very angry: "If you don't agree, let's make a bet. Your father just has this simple ulcer. If you don't believe me, go back and take medicine for seven days and go to a big hospital for examination. If I am right, you kowtow to me at the door to apologize. If I am wrong, you smash my clinic and I will go back to the village to herd cattle."

The patients applauded: "Dr. Xu's medical skills are trustworthy. We call him a miracle doctor. He has saved many people from the pain of surgery and has disclosed the medication for treating stomach problems without reservation. Just look at the patients lining up and you will know. You may be stupid, but others are not."

The old man was so angry that he slapped his son in the face and said, "You rebellious son, how can you be so ungrateful? You are just feeling sorry for me spending your ten or eight dollars."

"No, I just don't want you to be fooled."

My uncle asked, "Just tell me if you dare to bet?"

"I dare. Why should I not dare? I'm just afraid that you won't admit it when the time comes."

Liu Xialian reminded: "Don't be afraid, find a reporter, take photos on the spot, and report the incident to the newspaper."

The young man actually did it and called reporters. The county reporters knew the value of this Chinese medicine clinic. A number that cost a few dollars could be sold for hundreds of dollars. Some time ago, the police arrested several special number dealers.

The reporter made detailed records, first sent out a small message, and then waited only seven days to report the big news.

My uncle continued to see patients and ignored this. After all, there were patients from all over the world, and when they came to see the doctor, it was natural for him to treat them with all his heart.

The young man left with his father. Li Sizhen came over to complain, "Senior sister, you asked us to find a reporter. If this gets out of hand, Master will be in a passive position. He will really destroy the clinic."

"His father met a bad doctor. He just wanted to trick people into doing an operation to achieve more sales. Don't you know the master's medical skills? Treating an esophageal ulcer is a piece of cake. We are 100% sure."

Li Sizhen was a little worried: "I'm not worried about this man being a reckless man. I'm not worried about his condition either. It can indeed be cured, but will that hospital come to cause trouble for us?"

Liu Xia Lian thought about it and it was true. The big hospital diagnosed it as a tumor and required surgery and chemotherapy, but you prescribed seven days of medicine and cured it for just over ten dollars. Isn't this the same as riding on someone and slapping him in the face?

"You're right. So, just to be on the safe side, I'll contact the provincial radio station and the evening newspaper reporters and have them report the incident. Then, if the hospital wants to hate someone, it'll have to hate the media. Then we'll be fine."

Li Sizhen almost laughed out loud. The senior sister was really good at diverting the target, dragging the newspaper and the radio station. However, the radio station and the newspaper were notarized reports, and the name of the big hospital was not mentioned before the results came out. It was just that the audience was very curious, and some curious people came to the clinic to inquire about the news.
