Chapter 19 Crisis Management: Watch Me Handle It
The man plopped down on the ground, pointed to the sky and pounded the earth, crying out:
"My wife is taking this medicine prescribed by the young doctor!"
My health is deteriorating, and I'm almost gone now...
She cried and complained, sitting at the door making a scene.
When everyone looked at the woman, they saw that she was indeed sallow-faced, barely breathing, and looked ashen-faced.
The people waiting in line all looked somewhat hesitant.
Seeing the crowd's sympathy, the man wailed even more pitifully:
"My wife and I depend on each other for survival. We are very loving and have never had a fight."
He lived alone with his wife, relying on each other for survival, when tragedy struck their peaceful life.
She was practically in tears!
People were starting to subtly criticize Shen Huai.
Shen Huai: Oh no! We've run into troublemakers.
He quickly gave Qian Shao and Qian Yao, who were getting their medicine, a wink and mouthed the words "call for help."
Seeing that they had quietly slipped out, Shen Huai thought of a plan.
After a moment's hesitation, he walked over to the couple, sat down on the ground, and began to wail loudly.
The child's loud cries immediately drowned out the couple's voices.
The couple had originally planned to give the little brat a good beating as soon as the doctor spoke.
The child didn't reply to a word, but started howling like his parents had died.
A group of people were watching, and the little thing was crying pitifully. Seeing that the crowd was feeling sorry for the little thing, they didn't know what to do.
Not a single one of the Chinese people who love watching a good show have left!
Shen Huai ignored what they were saying and just sat down next to them.
Before long, Doctor Qian, Second Brother Qian, and Doctor Gao arrived.
Shen Huai immediately rushed over and grabbed the hem of Doctor Qian and Physician Gao's robes, wailing, "Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities!"
If Grandpa Qian disgraces the Qian family because of this, I'll die right here!
I will wait for the officials to arrive and explain."
After saying that, he started wailing again. Doctor Qian instructed Qian Erlang to go find the officials.
A short while later, two officers arrived and asked about the general situation.
Shen Huai immediately wiped away his tears and said to the official:
"Your Honor, this uncle and aunt said that I've made this aunt almost die."
The man immediately put down his wife and came over to the official, crying and complaining:
"It's this little beast. My wife wasn't feeling well a few days ago, so she came to see this little brat for a prescription."
He then took out the prescription:
"My wife is almost dying from the medicine prescribed by that heartless little bastard!"
He then showed the prescription to the people around him and the officials. When they looked at the prescriptions in their own hands, they all began to panic.
"You little beast, what else do you have to say?"
He was about to slap Shen Huai across the face as he spoke.
Shen Huai quickly dodged and ran behind the officials, crying as she spoke:
"Sir, this uncle not only framed me in front of you, but also tried to beat me!"
"You little beast, my dying wife is here, and so is the prescription you gave me!"
Dr. Qian spoke up:
What do you want?
"Kill that little beast, and then pay me another hundred taels of silver!"
"Sir, can a person who has been wronged defend himself?"
Shen Huai tugged at the official's robe, crying pitifully as he asked.
Shen Huai: Anyone can play the victim.
"Of course!"
"But that uncle wouldn't let me speak; he was going to beat me to death!"
"Zhang Er, this matter isn't settled yet, so you'd better behave yourself!"
The officer rebuked him.
The man spat helplessly and then sat down on the ground to help the woman.
"Everyone, the prescription this uncle is holding is for treating wind-cold entering the lungs, but I don't think this aunt's illness is like that!"
Although I did not take his pulse, I am certain that the symptoms are not related to this prescription!
"Any doctor can be asked to take this aunt's pulse."
A righteous person nearby spoke up:
"Please ask Dr. Qian to take a look. Dr. Qian is highly respected!"
"Zhang Er, do you agree to Doctor Qian taking your wife's pulse?" the official asked.
Zhang Er hesitated for a moment, but seeing so many people watching, he made up his mind:
"Let's take your pulse then!"
"Wait a minute, let me take this aunt's pulse first, then write it down and see if it matches what Doctor Qian wrote."
"I would also trouble you, sir, to go to the nearest clinic and invite a doctor from another clinic to examine me as well."
Shen Huai pitifully begged the two constables.
Those around immediately agreed, and one of the officials went to investigate.
After Shen Huai and Doctor Qian had finished their diagnoses, they wrote down the symptoms and handed them to the officials on site.
Another official brought in a doctor, who took the patient's pulse and said:
"This woman has been deprived of food for a long time and is suffering from tuberculosis due to overwork!"
The official who had just kept the prescriptions took out the two diagnostic papers for everyone to see. The diagnoses were consistent, but Doctor Qian's was more detailed.
The tide has turned again.
The man's eyes darted around, and he began to wail again:
"It must be that this little beast's medical skills are inadequate, and he prescribed the wrong medicine."
This prescription must have been written by that little bastard! My wife got sick after taking the medicine he prescribed!
Shen Huai: What a blatant distortion of the truth and sophistry!
I've been a department manager for so many years and handled so many customer complaints; this is practically a classic case!
Let me teach you a lesson!
Sorry, you really messed up today!
Shen Huai went through the matter in his mind and asked:
"What medicine did I prescribe for you? How many doses were prescribed, and how should I take it?"
"I prescribed three doses in total. Go back and boil them in three bowls of water until you have one bowl left. Take it morning and evening."
"Fellow villagers!"
You can ask the people around you who have prescribed medicine for you; how many doses constitute a course of treatment?
"Sixth Mate, my wife just opened fire!"
Someone in the crowd said.
Those nearby glanced at their own medicine and echoed the sentiment.
"Who knows? Maybe that little bastard just doesn't like us and that's why he's a third mate!"
"Okay! May I ask where you got the medicine and where you took it?"
"I got it from a pharmacy on the way back, and I brewed it at home to drink!"
"First of all, if it were tuberculosis, and she had actually taken the medicine prescribed here, this aunt wouldn't be in this state now!"
Furthermore, I request that you, sir, investigate which pharmacy this Uncle Zhang purchased his medicine from.
Let's go to Uncle Zhang's house again and see if there really are any dregs of medicine.
If so, is it the same as the one in this prescription?
The man panicked immediately and threw the prescription away in fright.
"Sir, sir, I must have misremembered. It's not this pharmacy, and it's not this doctor!"
"Then where did you get this prescription from?" Doctor Qian demanded.
"This prescription, I just picked it up randomly."
He kicked the prescription off the ground and hurriedly ran outside.
"Your wife!"
The officers stopped him.
The man quickly turned around and carried the dying woman away.
Shen Huai: That woman, if left untreated, I'm afraid she really won't survive.
Oh well! Never mind, I'm not capable of dealing with this.
This incident actually earned Shen Huai, the young doctor, some fame.
On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Huai saw patients for the last time.
When it was time to eat, before anyone else arrived, I quickly shoveled down a couple of mouthfuls of food.
Two little followers were fiddling with the medicinal herbs nearby. They had just eaten half of them when a 'Maybach' carriage pulled up at the door!
After Shen Huaifu's business expanded, he saw many "BMW and Mercedes" in the carriages every day and developed a keen eye for them.
The Maybach came to a smooth stop at the door, and the driver immediately brought out a step stool from the back and put it down.
The brocade curtain was lifted, and a richly dressed young lady stepped down, raising her hand to receive another extremely wealthy lady who was also lifting the curtain.
Upon closer inspection, it seems the young lady from before was a head maid.
I envy the maids!
Then, the coachman reached out and lifted the curtain, and a woman dressed in brocade robes got out of the carriage carrying a child. Her maid immediately reached out to support the child.
Upon seeing this scene, Shen Huai quickly finished his meal, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, composed himself, and stood up to greet the distinguished guests.
The noblewoman glanced at the three children in the pharmacy, and the maid beside her asked in a clear voice:
"Excuse me, could you tell me which one of you is Dr. Shen?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Huai exclaimed: "Oh! You've come because you've heard so much about me! And you're even speaking Mandarin!"
