120: Speak your mind

Qin Jiang pointed to the adjacent hospital bed.

"Lie on your side there, I'll go get the equipment."

Zhou Le had never undergone a colonoscopy before, so when Dr. Qin suddenly mentioned it, he was startled for a moment, then asked:

"Doctor, is this colonoscopy done from above or below?"

"Below."

Qin Jiang put on his gloves and mask, then asked,

"Are you afraid of pain? If you are, I'll give you anesthesia. If not, we'll start directly."

Zhou Le said, blushing, "I'm not afraid of pain, just go for it."

Qin Jiang: ???

Qin Jiang was a bit flustered by Zhou Le's reaction.

"No, you just need to answer me. Why are you blushing?"

Qin Jiang sighed inwardly.

Sometimes, being a doctor alone is quite helpless; I really wish I could hire a Nurses to help.

With everything ready, Qin Jiang inserted the colonoscope.

It was smooth at first, but soon the colonoscope encountered an obstruction.

Qin Jiang looked at the screen and immediately frowned.

The netizens in the live stream gasped even more.

"What is that? It's black and looks like a stone."

"Sheep droppings? I used to see these sheep droppings when I herded sheep."

"It looks like a fecal impaction. No wonder this Buddy's stomach hurts; his intestines are almost completely blocked."

"So the ancestors said to always eat until you're seven-tenths full; too much is as bad as too little."

Qin Jiang originally wanted to explore further, but he was blocked right at the beginning and couldn't advance.

Qin Jiang could only roughly infer the situation inside Zhou Le's stomach based on the previous scans.

After Zhou Le put on his pants, Qin Jiang led him out of the pharmacy.

Zhou Le asked, "Doctor, what exactly is my illness? You've been fussing for a long time, and my stomach is getting more and more painful."

Qin Jiang told Zhou Le, "You have an intestinal obstruction, and it's quite severe."

"I'm going to give you an enema, then prescribe some medicine for you to take consistently when you go back."

Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table.

"Seven thousand three in total. Please pay."

Zhou Le just wanted to quickly solve his stomach pain problem now.

Without hesitation, he immediately scanned the code and paid.

Ding.

[Detected that the host spoke frankly to the patient, revealing the patient's hidden illness, which greatly helped the patient. Mission completed.]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Clear Wind Brushing Willow Formula.]

Clear Wind Brushing Willow?

That name is quite elegant.

"Doctor, I've already paid. Should we start now?"

Seeing Zhou Le pull out his phone and pay immediately, the netizens in the live stream were incredibly envious.

Today's college boy are really rich; over seven thousand yuan, just like that.

They remembered when they were in college, their monthly living expenses were only six hundred yuan.

After having Zhou Le choose the bed closest to the toilet and lie down, Qin Jiang told Zhou Le, "Later, you'll run to the toilet yourself. Don't dirty my floor."

Zhou Le nodded, indicating he understood.

With everything ready, Qin Jiang took out the enema kit and began the procedure.

This treatment method actually doesn't require much technical skill; the only trouble is that many patients don't adapt well. When warm water enters the intestines, it irritates them, causing many patients to be unable to hold it in, making a mess everywhere.

But Zhou Le was clearly experienced. After Qin Jiang saw his expression becoming increasingly uncomfortable, Qin Jiang quickly told him to hurry to the toilet.

Knowing that Zhou Le wouldn't be back for a while, Qin Jiang began to clean and tidy the instruments.

Liu Yan couldn't help but ask from the side,

"Dr. Qin, is his condition really just an intestinal obstruction? What about the 'fetal movement' he mentioned earlier?"

The cameraman had given Zhou Le a close-up shot just now.

Under the camera's capture, Zhou Le's stomach indeed moved on its own, as if a Little Girl was kicking inside.

Qin Jiang said calmly, "That was intestinal distension caused by the intestinal obstruction."

"Because he's too fat, his stomach is softer than most people's, so when the intestinal distensionCreep, it feels like fetal movement to you."

Liu Yan nodded in sudden understanding.

So that's how it is.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Le walked out, leaning against the wall, his stomach visibly smaller.

That feeling of complete relief finally brought a smile to Zhou Le's face.

"Thank you, Doctor. I feel much better."

Qin Jiang nodded and handed over the dozen prepared doses of Taohua Chengqi Decoction.

"One dose per day, and you can also eat some bananas with it."

"Don't overeat again before you finish the medicine. Your intestines are very fragile now. If you have a few more intestinal obstructions, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Also, don't torment your body... Although love is free, your behavior with Xu Liang is high-risk. Even for the sake of your own body, try to exercise restraint."

Zhou Le took the traditional Chinese medicine, indicating he understood. As for whether he actually listened, Qin Jiang didn't know.

Anyway, when he left, he and Wang Kai were walking arm-in-arm, making it look like two Girls out shopping.

Watching the three college boy leave, Qin Jiang sighed.

Today's college boy are truly more outrageous than the last, completely broadening Qin Jiang's horizons.

Just as Qin Jiang stretched and was about to stand up and move around for a bit, a young couple walked in from outside.

The Girl was petite and lovely, dressed very cutely.

The boy was carrying a bag behind the Girl, with many shopping bags in his hands, and various items hanging around his neck: a camera, a water bottle, the Girl's shoulder bag, and a bus card.

The Girl walked up to Qin Jiang, wearing a mask, just staring at him without speaking.

Qin Jiang was a bit confused and proactively asked, "Who needs to see a doctor?"

The boy quickly ran over, smiling, and said,

"Doctor, my Girl needs to see a doctor."

"Sit."

The Girl sat on the stool, still staring at Qin Jiang, not saying a word.

Qin Jiang was puzzled.

"You come to see a doctor and don't speak?"

"Girl, what's your name and what's your profession?"

The boy quickly replied, "My Girl's name is Zhang Weiai, she's a model."

"I'm Zeng Zhu, a wedding photographer."

Qin Jiang nodded and recorded these details.

"So, where are you feeling unwell?"

"Mouth..."

Zeng Zhu was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly saw Zhang Weiai glaring at him, so he quickly corrected himself.

"It's just that my mouth has been uncomfortable recently, probably a bit inflamed."

Qin Jiang listened, bewildered.

"It's like you said something, but also like you said nothing at all."

"What exactly is it?" Qin Jiang asked again.

Zeng Zhu scratched his head anxiously.

"It's just a peculiar smell, not quite like normal people, you know?"

Qin Jiang suddenly understood.

"Oh, bad breath? Why didn't you just say bad breath?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weiai immediately felt extremely embarrassed and turned to repeatedly hit Zeng Zhu with her small fists.

Zeng Zhu was torn between laughter and tears.

"Doctor, my Girl has a bit of social anxiety, and she's also a bit shy. Can you not be so direct?"

"No."

Qin Jiang said earnestly, "You're here to see a doctor, not for an interview."

"Forming effective communication as concisely and accurately as possible is the most important thing."

"Besides, bad breath isn't something to be ashamed of; there's no need to act this way."
