Chapter 64 Casual Chat During the Banquet: Private Request for a Medical Visit
I. The banquet had a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
The hall was warmly lit, and a home-cooked meal filled the room with warmth.
Everyone took their seats around the table, and the tension and confrontation of the previous bedroom were gone.
The patriarch of the wealthy family wore a humble smile and kept gesturing for everyone to start eating.
The anxiety, fear, and stubborn prejudice that I had felt earlier have now completely vanished.
Su Wanjing sat quietly beside Chen Shanhe, her demeanor gentle and dignified, her eyes calm and peaceful.
After a long and arduous journey, and a series of mental and physical exertions, I can finally sit down and take a break.
Chen Shanhe appeared calm and composed, his demeanor steady and polite, and he treated people with neither arrogance nor impatience, always maintaining the right balance.
Even after saving a critically ill elderly person and being respected and appreciated by the whole family, he showed no pride or arrogance.
The two elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctors sat side by side to the side, each picking up a teacup and slowly sipping a mouthful of tea.
They chatted quietly among themselves, their eyes involuntarily glancing at Chen Shanhe at the table time and time again.
The two men wore expressions of shame, but also deep shock and profound admiration.
Recalling their previous stubbornness and arrogance, and how they had publicly belittled and mocked this country boy, they felt extremely ashamed.
An elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor sighed softly and spoke slowly in a low voice to his companion beside him.
"Having practiced medicine all my life, only today have I truly witnessed what top-notch medical skills are."
"We've spent half our lives practicing medicine using outdated methods, with a narrow vision and clinging to old ways. We've truly wasted our years."
His companion nodded slowly in agreement, his eyes filled with emotion, and shook his head gently with a long sigh.
Looking at the composed and calm Chen Shanhe, the two had already let go of all their seniority and arrogance.
Poems as proof:
The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious.
Casual conversations are spoken with ease.
Set aside prejudice and return to goodness.
From then on, he was humble and respectful towards Junxiong.
Second, lower your stance and conceal your sharpness.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the atmosphere at the table became increasingly relaxed and harmonious.
The two elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctors exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.
The two could no longer maintain the airs and arrogance they had accumulated from a lifetime of practicing medicine.
I recall the entire process of Chen Shanhe's accurate diagnosis, skillful acupuncture, and miraculous recovery at my bedside.
Compared to their own helplessness in easily declaring the old man's life or death, they felt deeply ashamed and uneasy.
The elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor slowly put down his teacup and sat up straight.
He raised his hand and gently straightened his clothes, his expression solemn and sincere.
Gone was the slightest trace of the aloofness and indifference of a veteran doctor; he rose and bowed slightly to Chen Shanhe.
He adopted an extremely humble posture, completely concealing the sharpness and arrogance he had cultivated throughout his life as a doctor.
He spoke slowly, his tone humble and respectful, his face showing genuine remorse and admiration.
"Young miracle doctor, I have lived most of my life and practiced medicine for forty or fifty years. I consider myself an expert in medicine."
"Having witnessed your medical skills firsthand today, I now understand what it means to be out of your depth and to have someone more capable than you."
"We cling to old prescriptions and theories, only looking at the surface symptoms when treating patients, and failing to discern the deeper root causes of diseases in the internal organs."
"I was blind to your greatness before and was disrespectful to you. Now, looking back, I am extremely ashamed."
Another elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor quickly stood up as well, bowing respectfully with a sincere expression.
Having spent half their lives in fame and experience, the two were now willing to set aside all their pride in front of everyone.
Poems as proof:
Half a lifetime of arrogance, hidden away in a single day.
Lower your posture and conceal your sharpness.
Seeing the true face reveals one's shallowness.
Humility and no longer arrogance.
Third, frankly admitting to family members' chronic illnesses
After the two elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctors sincerely apologized, their expressions gradually became troubled, and their brows furrowed slightly.
They exchanged a glance, and finally, they slowly revealed the secrets that had been hidden in their hearts for so long.
The elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor looked bitter, let out a long sigh, and looked helpless.
"To be honest, little doctor, my wife has been suffering from a chronic illness for more than ten years."
"I suffer from chronic cold and numbness in my lower back and legs, which is extremely painful on rainy days, making it very difficult to walk."
"I take medicine and regulate my body every day, and I have never stopped acupuncture and massage. I have also sought out all the famous doctors in the provincial capital."
I've tried both Chinese and Western remedies, but they only provide temporary pain relief and don't address the root cause of the problem, which keeps recurring year after year.
I've practiced medicine my whole life and been able to cure the illnesses of countless strangers, but I just can't cure the illnesses of my own family members who are right beside me.
Seeing her suffer from illness every day fills me with guilt and heartache, yet I am utterly helpless.
The second elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor next to him also looked worried and nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of sorrow.
"My elderly mother suffers from chronic liver qi stagnation and intractable insomnia for many years."
"I am restless every night, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. My mind and spirit are depleted day by day, and my body is gradually deteriorating."
I studied various calming formulas and personally prepared medicines and administered acupuncture countless times, but I was still unable to cure the root cause of the illness.
Seeing his loved ones suffer every day, and feeling powerless to help as a doctor, he was tormented day and night.
As they talked, their voices grew increasingly somber, their eyes filled with the helplessness and sorrow of being doctors.
Poems as proof:
A close relative has been suffering from a chronic illness for a long time.
Even the most skilled healer cannot cure their own fate.
Half a lifetime spent practicing medicine, yet filled with regrets.
I face the heavens with a heart full of helplessness.
IV. During the meal, he sincerely requested a house call.
After each of the two veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctors, Zhou Deshan and Xu Jingming, finished recounting the long-standing, incurable illnesses of their loved ones, their faces were filled with deep sorrow and utter helplessness.
The two men simultaneously looked up at Chen Shanhe, who sat calmly and composedly at the table. Their eyes held both anxious anticipation and awkward unease, their expressions cautious, and every word sincere and earnest.
The elderly Zhou Deshan quickly bowed slightly, his back slightly bent, completely abandoning the airs of a renowned doctor who had spent half his life practicing medicine. His tone was humble and gentle, without a trace of his former arrogance, and he spoke softly and sincerely.
"Young miracle doctor, after witnessing your superb medical skills in treating Mr. Lin Qingshan today, we are completely convinced."
"My wife has suffered from chronic lower back and leg pain for more than ten years. We have visited countless clinics and renowned doctors throughout the provincial capital, but none of them could cure her."
"I have practiced medicine for most of my life and can cure thousands of patients, but I can't cure my own family member. Now I am really desperate, so I dare to shamelessly ask for help in public."
"I wonder if the young miracle doctor would be so kind as to visit our humble abode for a consultation sometime when you have some free time? If you can diagnose the root of the illness and alleviate the suffering, our Zhou family will be eternally grateful."
Xu Jingming, who was standing to the side, also leaned forward, his eyes full of sincere and eager anticipation, and then chimed in to agree.
"Little miracle doctor, my thoughts are exactly the same as Brother Zhou's! My mother has suffered from liver stagnation and insomnia for many years. She can't sleep at night and her body is getting worse day by day. I have tried all kinds of treatments to no avail."
"As long as you're willing to make house calls whenever you have free time, regardless of how far the provincial capital is or how much the payment is, we'll follow your arrangements without a single complaint!"
The two doctors had practiced medicine for four or five decades and were always respected in the provincial capital's traditional Chinese medicine circle, with others always coming to them for treatment. Today, however, they were willing to set aside their lifelong reputation and dignity, and humbly begged a village boy for help.
During the meal, Lin Zhenhong and his family members watched this scene in silence, their hearts filled with emotion and sighs of relief. No one had ever imagined that a young man from the countryside could make two veteran doctors completely set aside their pride.
Poems as proof:
He whispered earnestly during the meal.
I'm willing to set aside my pride to ease my family's sorrow.
I only wish for a miraculous doctor to come to my door.
Sweep away the deep-seated ailments as time flows by.
