90: That's the toilet, run faster later

As Qin Jiang led Jiang Xiu into the pharmacy, the netizens in the live broadcast room exploded.

"The world is truly vast and full of wonders. I never thought someone would swallow so many small steel balls for the sake of dieting."

"Then you've still underestimated species diversity. My great-uncle always said his head hurt, and he went to the Hospital many times but couldn't find the root cause. Later, he just bought a head therapy device online and said it was very useful."

"Holy cow, I think I've seen that head therapy device you're talking about. It said it uses micro-radiation to change a person's brainwaves, thereby changing the entire person's magnetic field to achieve natural healing. That's too ridiculous."

"I think spaghetti should be mixed with 42-gauge concrete?"

"It's clearly one of those products from TV commercials. These TV commercials are truly heartless! They specifically swindle money from the elderly!"

"Brother, I don't like to hear that. What do you mean 'specifically swindle money from the elderly'? Do they not swindle money from young people? Haven't you bought eight-star, eight-arrow products?"

Originally, Liu Yan also didn't understand why Jiang Xiu would swallow such small steel balls.

But after reading the netizens' discussions, she suddenly realized that everyone can actually be deceived by various pseudo-sciences that seem plausible, it's just that the pain points and thresholds are different.

Jiang Xiu was troubled by binge eating, and then fooled by the merchants selling small steel balls, so it was natural for her to be easily deceived.

When a person can't find any other good solutions, it's easy for them to go to extremes.

Five minutes later, the film came out.

Although they had psychological expectations.

But upon seeing Jiang Xiu's belly full of white steel balls, everyone still shook their heads in shock.

This sister is too daring!

Seeing Qin Jiang's solemn expression as he held the film, Jiang Xiu also became nervous.

"Doctor, my condition doesn't require surgery, does it?"

Jiang Xiu had already undergone one gastric bypass surgery before.

She is now very resistant to surgery, as it's expensive and harmful to the body.

Qin Jiang sighed.

"I still don't understand, why on earth did you buy this thing?"

"Could you share with me what you were thinking at the time?"

Qin Jiang wasn't mocking Jiang Xiu, but genuinely wanted to understand the patient's psychology.

Jiang Xiu said with a blush, "Mainly, I thought their principle was quite scientific, and there were no side effects, and the price wasn't expensive, so I tried it."

"Swallowing small steel balls is scientific? How is it scientific?"

Jiang Xiu said earnestly, "Of course it's scientific. Small steel balls cannot be digested, right?"

"When I want to eat, as long as I swallow a few small steel balls, these small steel balls will occupy a certain space in my stomach, creating a feeling of fullness."

"With a feeling of fullness, I naturally won't want to eat more. Isn't this effect better than dieting?"

"Moreover, these small steel balls can be recycled and reused. After swallowing them, they can also be excreted, causing no harm to the body."

"It's just this time... I had bad luck and swallowed too many at once, so they got stuck and couldn't come out."

Listening to Jiang Xiu's explanation, Qin Jiang only felt his scalp tingle.

Because what Jiang Xiu said actually seemed to make some sense!

But the only problem was that she didn't consider the danger of swallowing small steel balls, and she didn't understand the operation of the entire digestive system well enough.

"Miss Jiang, if swallowing steel balls could solve the problem of hunger, then not so many people in the world would starve to death every day."

"Swallowing steel balls can indeed give you a feeling of fullness, but it cannot provide the calories and nutrients your body needs, nor can it neutralize your stomach acid."

"In short, this behavior of yours... it's best not to do it again in the future."

After Qin Jiang finished speaking, he pointed to the QR code on the table.

"Scan the code. It's 26,000 in total. I'll first cure your binge eating disorder, and then help you remove these steel balls from your body."

Upon hearing that it only cost 26,000, Jiang Xiu didn't hesitate, immediately thanking him while scanning the code to pay.

Ding.

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

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: God-level Eight Treasures Soup!]

Seeing the reward given by the system, Qin Jiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, this time the reward was finally normal.

That means the next patient's illness shouldn't be too strange.

Having composed himself, Qin Jiang pointed to the bed next to them.

"Come over here. I'll give you Acupuncture to regulate you and help you cure your binge eating disorder first."

Jiang Xiu obediently lay on the bed, then Qin Jiang took out silver needles and pricked them one by one into her head.

"Doctor, I feel my head is a bit swollen."

It was Jiang Xiu's first time having Acupuncture, and she was a little nervous.

What she found strange was that when the needles were inserted into her head, she didn't feel pain, but rather a feeling of fullness.

It was as if someone was blowing air into her head, making her entire head swell up a size.

Qin Jiang pressed his hand three inches above her temple, and Jiang Xiu's eyes immediately widened.

This feeling was very strange, a little bit swollen and painful, yet also a little comfortable.

She didn't know how to describe it!

Qin Jiang said, "This location is where the Liver and Gallbladder Meridians pass through. When young people stay up late, are anxious, or suffer from insomnia, this meridian will feel pain."

"In your daily life, you can frequently massage the Liver and Gallbladder Meridians when you have nothing to do; it will be beneficial for your body."

Upon hearing Qin Jiang say this, everyone around them subconsciously pressed the spot with their hands.

It really hurts!

No wonder those Old Chinese Medicine Doctors could tell at a glance if you had been staying up late.

You can even test it yourself this way.

Qin Jiang then continued, "Massage can only soothe your body and provide a relaxing effect; massage generally cannot replace treatment."

"You will need to come back for regular check-ups here, once a month for Acupuncture, and your binge eating disorder will be completely eradicated after one year."

Jiang Xiu was filled with gratitude.

Binge eating had troubled her for a long time.

If Qin Jiang really had a way to solve it, then it would be no problem for her to buy a train ticket and come to Jin City for treatment once a month.

After the Acupuncture ended, Qin Jiang continued to have Jiang Xiu lie down, then placed his hand on her stomach.

"If you went to another Hospital, these small steel balls in your intestines would probably require surgery to be removed."

"But here, I will first try using massage to help your gastrointestinal peristalsis and change the position of the small steel balls in your body."

At this point, Qin Jiang pointed to the outhouse in the distance.

"That is the toilet. After I finish massaging, you need to rush over as quickly as possible. Don't soil your pants, understand?"

Jiang Xiu nodded, indicating she understood.

But she didn't take it seriously.

She was an adult; surely she wouldn't have fecal incontinence?

After all, she had been constipated for so long; she had long forgotten what diarrhea felt like.
