73: There's something wrong with your brain.
"Old man, what's your name?"
The Old man opened his mouth and said, "My name is Tang Weimin."
As soon as Tang Weimin opened his mouth, a foul stench assailed Qin Jiang, almost sending him straight to his grave.
Qin Jiang quickly stood up and retreated a few steps, taking a few deep breaths next to Liu Yan before he recovered.
Liu Yan's face was flushed, but she didn't shy away.
It seemed spraying perfume today was a wise decision.
Tang Weimin's breath was truly too foul, practically like a septic tank!
Tang Weimin seemed to have anticipated this reaction, and he looked at Qin Jiang with an embarrassed expression, not daring to speak.
Tang Ping also explained from the side, "Dr. Qin, my dad's breath wasn't foul before. It's only been this past while, I don't know why, but it suddenly became so bad."
"Dr. Qin, can you please help him figure out what the problem is? If you can help my dad cure this bad breath, our whole family will be grateful to you."
Tang Ping's eyes were sincere, and although Tang Weimin was embarrassed, he also looked at Qin Jiang with a hint of expectation.
It was clear he had been deeply troubled by the bad breath.
Because of his bad breath, not only were others unwilling to talk to him, but even his family couldn't stand it and had to keep their distance. He couldn't even eat at the table and had to eat by himself elsewhere.
After Qin Jiang put on a mask, he slowly sat back down.
"Old man Tang, when I ask you questions later, try not to speak directly at me."
Tang Weimin nodded, indicating he understood.
"Old man, did this bad breath phenomenon suddenly appear?"
Tang Weimin lowered his head and spoke downwards, "I used to have a bit of bad breath, but it was never this severe."
"Besides feeling dizzy and nauseous recently, do you have any other symptoms?"
Tang Weimin thought carefully for a moment and then said, "Another symptom is that when I drink water or eat, I always feel a metallic taste."
Upon hearing about the metallic taste, Qin Jiang's brows furrowed, and his expression became somewhat grave.
If a person can taste metal, it means he has tasted blood.
Could it be bleeding in the throat or digestive tract?
Qin Jiang didn't dare to be negligent. He pulled out a tongue depressor, held his breath, had Tang Weimin open his mouth, and used a flashlight to look inside.
After looking for a long time, Qin Jiang still didn't see any bleeding points.
Could the bleeding point be even further down?
Just as Qin Jiang was about to look a bit further down, suddenly, a reflection flashed in his throat.
The reflection was fleeting, and Qin Jiang almost thought he was seeing things.
Qin Jiang carefully examined it and confirmed that there was indeed something in Tang Weimin's mouth, and it should be some kind of metal object.
After examining the oral cavity, Qin Jiang sat back on the stool.
He frowned and looked at Tang Weimin for a while, then asked,
"You haven't put anything strange into your mouth, have you?"
Upon hearing this, the netizens in the live stream immediately became restless.
"Why is Dr. Qin asking that? Could it be..."
"It shouldn't be that outrageous, right? Is the Old man playing such games?"
"Holy cow, the old ones are still the spiciest! Is this even possible?"
"Who do you think are the people dancing salsa in the park? Your grandpa will always be your grandpa."
"The Old man at least has a minimum living allowance. What do young people have? Debt?"
"Brother, your 'debt' line just broke me. I've been working for several years, and not only do I have no savings, I'm actually in debt."
Tang Weimin didn't know he had caused a heated discussion online.
He quickly waved his hand at Qin Jiang and said, "Dr. Qin, our family has always been very strict about health. I wouldn't eat random things, and I certainly wouldn't eat takeout."
"Alright then, put your hand up, and I'll take your pulse."
Tang Weimin obediently put his hand up.
As soon as Qin Jiang took his pulse, his eyes widened instantly.
Tang Ping was very nervous by his side.
"How is it, Dr. Qin? Is there something wrong with my dad's body?"
"No."
Qin Jiang said very seriously, "Your dad's body is even healthier than that of an average Young man, it can even be said to be robust."
"Old man, what did you do before?"
Tang Weimin grinned and said, "I was a farmer. A few years ago, our family's land was taken, and we weren't allowed to farm anymore, so I followed my son to the city."
"Life in the city is good, but I just can't sit still."
Tang Ping also added, "My dad was a soldier before and is very disciplined. He goes for a run outside every morning and another run in the evening."
"My dad's health has indeed been fine all these years, it's just this bad breath problem that he hasn't been able to solve."
So he was a soldier.
Qin Jiang was relieved.
Don't let Tang Weimin's current smiling demeanor fool you; those who served in the military during his era and survived were all formidable individuals.
People from that time had pure thoughts and weren't burdened by many other ideas.
Loyalty to the country and loyalty to the people were their only principles as soldiers.
Qin Jiang was silent for a moment, then said, "Although the Old man's body is good, he has inflammation in his body, and the inflammation is not light."
"I suspect there might be an internal problem with the Old man's body, and we need to take a scan to confirm it."
Tang Ping hesitated a little.
"Dr. Qin, do you mean for my dad to go to a big Hospital to get checked?"
Qin Jiang waved his hand.
"No need, you can get it checked here."
Tang Ping was even more surprised, looking around the quaint Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
"You... can take scans here?"
Qin Jiang chuckled.
"Couldn't before, but I can now."
"Old man, come with me."
Tang Weimin followed Qin Jiang into the pharmacy.
Liu Yan, with her photography team, also wanted to enter but was stopped by Qin Jiang.
"You can't come into the pharmacy, but I'll give you a network link, and your live stream can access this footage."
Liu Yan said "Oh" and started operating according to the link Qin Jiang provided.
As another small screen appeared in the live stream, the netizens were instantly dumbfounded.
"My goodness, is this a Hospital?"
"I've never seen such an advanced Hospital. Are you sure this is in a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic?"
"Good heavens, I originally thought Dr. Qin owning this Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic was amazing enough, but I never expected him to have this kind of medical equipment. He's too powerful!"
While the netizens were discussing, Qin Jiang had already led Tang Weimin into the examination room.
Qin Jiang first had Tang Weimin change into a patient gown, and after confirming that he had no other items on him, he had him lie on the equipment and began the examination.
As the equipment started, an immediate X-ray of Tang Weimin appeared on the screen.
Upon seeing the X-ray, Qin Jiang's expression immediately changed.
However, the netizens in the live stream couldn't understand and began asking questions.
"What does this film mean? I know this is a head, but why is there a white shadow in the middle?"
"A white shadow indicates a foreign object in the brain. From this shape, it looks very much like a knife."
The netizens in the live stream were all bewildered.
A knife?
This Old man has a knife stuck in his head?
How is that possible!
