Chapter 297
"Sounds like you're an impressive doctor, Dr. Sun!"
Dr. Xia put down his chopsticks.
Beside him, Qin Shuang's delicate face changed, leaning over, her jade hand touched his leg and pinched it, "Don't talk, eat!"
Although her parents were dissatisfied, at least the fact that she had a boyfriend was established. In the future, she could reject the blind dates arranged by her parents. As for this Sun Junxian, her parents were satisfied, but she didn't feel a thing and couldn't be bothered.
"Junxian's medical skills are undoubtedly impressive!"
Mrs. Qin seemed to frown, looking very displeased.
The daughter's boyfriend, lacking ability was one thing, but he couldn't even talk properly. Wasn't he just feeling neglected by them and couldn't hold it back? Yet, his words sounded like he was mocking Junxian, questioning his medical skills.
Was Junxian's ability something this clumsy little doctor could compare to?
"Haha! I wouldn't say impressive, just achieved a few things," Sun Junxian appeared a bit displeased but still smiled, pretending to be humble.
"Is that so? I don't think so! You were boasting a while ago, claiming to know this person and that person. How many patients have you treated this year?" Xia Bei said unceremoniously.
Not only could he not stand this guy pretending, but he also couldn't stand his braggart behavior about connections. That face of petty and vanity wasn't at all like a conscientious doctor!
Sun Junxian's face stiffened, sinking down, "Am I boasting? Where did I boast? Everything I said is true. As for how many patients I've treated, it's way more than a community doctor like you. You're just a Chinese medicine practitioner, what illnesses can you treat? Daring to speak to me like that."
He spoke bluntly, his face flushed.
On the side, Mrs. Qin and Father Qin's expressions were equally unpleasant, feeling the daughter's boyfriend was just too rude, unable to do anything yet jealous of others!
"Exactly! Junxian is capable; he saves countless patients in a year. Do you have to question that?"
Mrs. Qin spoke up, even glaring at her daughter.
"It seems Dr. Sun holds quite a prejudice against Chinese medicine. We can treat quite a number of illnesses," Xia Bei ignored her and kept his eyes on Sun Junxian, "I don't mean anything else; I just think, Dr. Sun, you're pretty good at flattery. Your networking skills are much more robust than your academic ones."
"You..."
Sun Junxian's eyes widened, almost bursting with rage.
Mrs. Qin and Father Qin's faces became even darker.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Shuang became anxious, pinching Xia Bei again.
"I'm helping you!" Xia Bei grabbed her hand, "Can't you see your mom is quite fond of this guy! You'll be troubled in the future. I'm helping you get rid of him."
"Is this helping?"
Qin Shuang smiled wryly, releasing her grip on his fingers.
"Saying I suck up? Haha! What do you think you are! It's not that I have prejudice against Chinese medicine; it's because you people are incompetent. Especially like you, who studied Chinese medicine for a few years and then started working, what's the difference between you and a fraud."
Sun Junxian's face twisted slightly.
"Whether Chinese medicine is competent is not up to you... how about this, since you look down on Chinese medicine, why don't we both take a look at Uncle Qin's illness and see who has learned something useful."
Xia Bei provocatively said.
"Alright!"
Sun Junxian immediately agreed but then seemed a bit stunned, wondering how to conduct an examination here. He was a gastroenterologist, could dabble in other fields, but needed various tests.
However, he quickly thought of a plan. Although testing wasn't possible, he could ask questions. By observing various symptoms, he could judge what illnesses Uncle Qin might have and prescribe accordingly.
He immediately stood up, walked to Father Qin's side, and started asking quietly. Father Qin was cooperative, and he quickly arrived at a conclusion, loudly announcing it, just to embarrass this guy.
Even if this guy had really learned some pulse-checking skills and could notice some superficial illnesses, he could say it was diagnosed based on his examination, completely discrediting him.
"Uncle Qin, at your age, having high blood pressure, rheumatism is quite normal. You should control them carefully, and as for your lungs, there might be some nodules. You can come to the hospital tomorrow, and I'll introduce you to an expert, they're excellent,"
Sun Junxian boasted slightly.
"Alright, thank you!"
"I said, having a doctor at home makes seeing a doctor much more convenient!"
Father Qin and Mrs. Qin both laughed cheerfully, extremely satisfied. Mrs. Qin also gave a glare towards Xia Bei.
"Dr. Xia, how do you plan to check? Pulse-reading? Your Chinese medicine methods are too outdated. You wouldn't pretend to read the pulse and then just repeat my conclusion, right? That would be too fake!"
Sun Junxian pushed up his glasses, sneering at Xia Bei.
Beside them, Qin Shuang furrowed her brows, annoyed by his attitude. She was also a bit troubled, unsure how to handle this jerk, fearing he might end up helping her but instead causing her trouble, making her parents like Sun Junxian even more.
"Pulse-reading? Not needed!"
Xia Bei smiled as he stood up.
"Not needed?"
"Of course, didn't he just ask everything? Next, I just need to treat Uncle Qin, that's all," Xia Bei said as he walked over to Father Qin and Sun Junxian.
"You want... to treat him? Here? Hahaha!"
Sun Junxian paused, the gentle and handsome face twitched, then suddenly couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, his eyes full of extreme ridicule and mockery...
