"You don't need to worry about that. Even if I taught you, you wouldn't be able to learn it."
Lin Chen shook his head, looking very serious.
Indeed, he had just used the ability of a cultivator to observe the patient's condition, so he had a rough idea of what had happened.
"Most patients with gastroenteritis will also experience vomiting and diarrhea."
"He came to the hospital after only pooping for two to three days, so he must be extremely weak."
"However, the patient's family member, who is in their early forties, is currently in the prime of their life."
"The patient was already very weak, and coupled with the family member weighing at least two hundred pounds, such exertion would cause a collapse due to the imbalance of kidney qi, which is quite normal."
Upon saying this, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"So that's how it is! No wonder she felt embarrassed!"
Hearing Lin Chen's explanation, Xie Yun nodded, looking as if she had suddenly understood.
Good heavens, if this man had truly died on the bed, and an autopsy was performed, wouldn't that woman truly become a murderer?
"But how did you know all this?"
Whenever this was mentioned, Xie Yun became even more curious.
She had personally seen Lin Chen walk over; he hadn't even touched the patient.
How could he know all this so clearly?
"Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation."
"Observation refers to observing the patient's physical development, complexion, tongue coating, expression, and so on."
"However, there is also a most profound branch of study, which is the observation of qi."
"You wouldn't understand, so it's useless for me to say more. You should first conduct a thorough examination of the patient and then decide on the treatment."
After saying this, Lin Chen walked into the consulting room with his hands behind his back, looking like an elder.
Xie Yun, standing behind him, was stunned: "Good heavens, who is the doctor's assistant here?"
It had to be said that Xie Yun, as the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Fifth Hospital, indeed had some skills. After treating the patient, the patient quickly woke up.
As for the patient's family member, feeling guilty, they no longer caused trouble.
"Lin Chen, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much trouble I would have been in."
After settling the patient, Xie Yun took the initiative to thank Lin Chen.
"I am your assistant, after all. This is what I should do, it's nothing."
Lin Chen shook his head, not taking it to heart.
"No, it might be nothing to you, but you truly helped me. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner after work today?"
Xie Yun looked at Lin Chen, appearing very expectant.
For Xie Yun, treating Lin Chen to dinner was one aspect of expressing her gratitude, but the most important reason was that she wanted to understand what "observing qi" was!
She was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners; while others were watching cartoons, she was already studying pharmacology.
However, she had truly heard about "observing qi" for the first time!
If it were anyone else mentioning "observing qi" in front of her, she would have immediately thought they were a骗子 (liar).
But today, she had indeed witnessed it with her own eyes. Lin Chen hadn't touched the patient at all, yet he knew the entire sequence of events.
This was simply too unbelievable!
"Let's skip it for next time. I have something to do tonight."
Hearing Xie Yun's words, Lin Chen refused again.
He had to go back to condition his mother's body tonight; where would he have time to go out to dinner with Xie Yun?
"Alright then, let me know when you're free."
Seeing Lin Chen's firm attitude, Xie Yun felt a sense of frustration.
"Xiao Yun, are you busy?"
As soon as Xie Yun finished speaking, an unwelcome guest appeared outside the consulting room.
The two turned their heads and saw it was none other than Huang Junjie.
At this moment, Huang Junjie was wearing a white coat, with thick powder on his face, as if he was trying to conceal something.
"Young Master Huang, this is the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine consulting room. Uninvited guests are not allowed."
Seeing this persistent pest, Xie Yun was instantly annoyed.
This morning, Huang Junjie, using some unknown method, had directly become a doctor at the Fifth Hospital, which was incredibly frustrating for her!
"Hehehe, I'm not an uninvited guest. I'm now the deputy director of the Emergency Department. It shouldn't be against the rules to come and see the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine consulting room, right?"
Huang Junjie narrowed his eyes, looking at Xie Yun's beautiful figure, and involuntarily swallowed.
"Isn't this Young Master Huang? What, does your face not hurt enough yet?"
Seeing Huang Junjie's lecherous expression, Lin Chen stepped forward directly.
"Hmph, Lin Chen, don't you try to show off here. I, this young master, am magnanimous and won't stoop to your level. Don't seek trouble!"
Seeing Lin Chen's face, Huang Junjie was filled with anger.
He knew that if it came to a fight now, ten of him wouldn't be a match for Lin Chen.
But it didn't matter. He had already sent people to investigate Lin Chen's background. Once his background was thoroughly investigated, he would make Lin Chen wish he were dead!
He was the young master of the Huang family; he knew how to endure and that revenge is a dish best served cold!
"Alright, Lin Chen, you've worked hard. Go and rest for a while."
Seeing Huang Junjie glaring at Lin Chen, Xie Yun quickly intervened to mediate.
She didn't know what had happened yesterday afternoon. She only knew that Lin Chen had only his mother and no other support, so he definitely couldn't compete with a spoiled rich kid like Huang Junjie.
"That's right, Yunyun. Are you trying to stay alone with me to talk?"
Seeing Xie Yun ask Lin Chen to leave, Huang Junjie's eyes lit up.
It seemed Xie Yun still felt he was more important, right?
"How about this, I've booked a private room at Maple Leaf Restaurant for tonight. We can chat while we eat then?"
At this moment, Huang Junjie spoke to Xie Yun with great anticipation.
Maple Leaf Restaurant was a romantic restaurant, with extremely intimate decor and lighting.
By then, he only needed to use a little trick, and Xie Yun would be within his grasp?
"No need, Young Master Huang. I have to work overtime tonight."
Hearing Huang Junjie's words, Xie Yun directly refused.
"It's fine, it's fine. I can wait for you to finish work. It doesn't matter how long."
Huang Junjie was persistent and spoke again.
"I said no! I'll be working overtime until tomorrow morning; I really don't have time. Young Master Huang, please leave!"
Seeing Huang Junjie harassing her again and again, Xie Yun finally became a little angry.
"By the way, Dr. Xie, you said earlier that you were going to treat me to dinner tonight, right? How about we go to this Maple Leaf Restaurant that Young Master Huang mentioned?"
However, just as Huang Junjie was about to say something more, Lin Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
For a moment, the entire consulting room fell silent.
Both Huang Junjie and Xie Yun instinctively widened their mouths and stared at Lin Chen dumbfounded.
