Practicing business and practicing medicine

Because of the rain, the free distribution of sweet-scented osmanthus sour plum soup was naturally suspended. The air was slightly less stuffy and humid, and people did not enjoy much of the coolness of the summer rain.

The windy and rainy weather did not have any impact on the "Bian's Clinic". Inside and outside the door, it was still as lively as ever.

The patients and their families did not think there was anything unusual about the rain. They just hoped that it would rain for a while longer. Everyone hoped to say goodbye to the torment of the "sauna day" as soon as possible.

At 10:55 in the morning, the rain stopped, the sun did not come out, and the cool breeze blew. Some of the accompanying family members went out to take a breath.

At this moment, Bian Mu was giving a medical explanation to a female patient in her early forties.

"You live in a relatively high social class, and you have almost no chance of being exposed to direct sunlight. You are even more obsessed with eating fine food, striving for perfection, and you are almost impossible to come into contact with coarse staple food, bran and other foods. You live a very delicate life. Usually, the skin color and skin quality of the female subordinates in your company, the young girls who have just graduated in their twenties, dare not compare with you, right?" Bian Mu said with a smile.

The female patient is the chairman of a cultural and tourism company. She also came here because of her reputation. Her symptoms are very simple: some small blisters suddenly appeared on the inside of her elbow, the inside and outside of her wrist, some parts of the back of her hand, and the inside of her upper arm. Western medicine diagnosed it as: sweat herpes. She tried all kinds of treatments, but it didn't get better. It was slightly itchy and the pain was not obvious. It would relapse after a few days of recovery, and it was annoying over and over again.

In the hot summer, it has affected the lady's attendance at various important business negotiation occasions, and she is also worried that the blisters will spread to the whole body.

"Doctor Bian is joking! Relatively speaking, compared with most women, I am indeed a little younger. So... is it easy to treat?"

"No need to treat! Recently, the moisture in Lijin City has been abnormal. It will be less than a week... The urban area is likely to usher in heavy rain, thunderstorms, and heavy precipitation, which may last for a long time. Based on this medical background, you suddenly have these small blisters on your body. In fact, this is already a symptom of acne skin, that is, it has a certain toxicity. If I am not mistaken, you should have had a similar skin disease when you were about 12 or 13 years old. Moreover, it was very itchy and would break even if you didn't touch it. There were also blisters on your face, the worst on the instep, but the soles of your feet were safe and sound. If you still remember it clearly, at that time, this acne blisters had affected your normal sleep." Bian Mu smiled and explained for a long time.

"This... 12 or 13 years old? I was still in elementary school at that time! No, I was already in junior high school. It seems that there was such a thing. I don't remember the specific details. Do you really not need to take medicine?!" The woman questioned.

"After the rainstorm, it will heal itself. No matter how good the Chinese medicine is, it cannot fight against nature. In layman's terms, your disease is caused by the weather. The weather has changed and you can't adapt to it for a while. It doesn't hurt or itch and it's not a big deal. Just ignore it and it will be fine."

"Will it relapse again in the future?" the woman asked.

"It's like this. This small pox virus is actually a bit like a special natural vaccine phenomenon. It directly reflects that your immunity has substantially decreased. Of course, this is the view of Western medicine. From the perspective of our Chinese medicine, your kidney qi system has already been substantially damaged. From this perspective, medical intervention must be given in the future."

"Can't it be treated now?" The woman was a little confused.

"It can be treated now, but... for example, a flood is rampant and a small bridge has been washed away. Do you think we should risk our lives to repair the bridge or avoid it first? The hundred-year flood is just a myth. In real life, the flood will soon pass. By then, how to repair the bridge will be a piece of cake, right? Right now, no matter how I give you medicine or acupuncture, for people like you who are very sensitive to the weather, it is basically equivalent to trying to stop the boiling water by adding more water. It is meaningless."

"Sorry, I don't quite understand what you said. Then... let's put it this way. When I go back today, I will take a natural attitude and ignore it. After the heavy rain, it will heal itself. Then... when should I come to see you for a follow-up visit?"

"After the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, come and I will check again."

"Then... should I pay attention to my diet? What?"

"You may want to make a rough arrangement for your diet. Let me give you an extreme example. If any of your friends are in the real estate business, you may want to visit their company's construction site. I mean a relatively small construction site, but it must be a formal company. You can go to their canteen and tell them what the migrant workers eat for three meals a day. You may want to ask your nanny to imitate it. Or, you can simply go to the suburbs and see the local villagers, the middle-class families, what they usually eat and how they eat. Try to imitate it, and the symptoms will definitely be alleviated. In addition, calamine lotion is the only topical medicine I recommend at present. If you feel uncomfortable, you can apply some with a cotton swab. After drying, wipe it clean with a wet towel. Try to keep the skin surface of the wound dry. Stick to it until after August 15th!" Bian Mu gave some very objective advice.

The woman's brain is okay. After rolling her eyes twice, she finally chose to trust Bian Mu's medical explanation.

"Thank you! Then I'll leave. I'll bother you again after August 15th of the lunar calendar."

"You're welcome! Slow down on the road!" After that, Bian Mu continued to treat the next patient.

…

At lunch time, Bian Mu was wondering where to eat when his cell phone rang.

There was a call from the nanny named Zhu at Mrs. Mai's house.

"Doctor Bian! I'm going to quit my job as a nanny here at Mrs. Mai's side. I want to say hello to you."

"Oh! Aren't you happy?"

"No! My senior sister introduced me to a pretty good job. I can start next Wednesday. The time is more suitable than here. The salary is more than twice what I earn now."

"Really? That's pretty good. If you're not happy here anymore, let's change it!" Bian Mu responded casually on the other end of the phone.

"Well! Let's take it one step at a time! By the way, I want to get rid of all the 'Guonanzai' in my hand."

"What? Something happened at home?"

"That's not true. I'm not optimistic about the future trend. The market will never reach 3,000 points. I don't want to wait any longer. What about you?"

"I won't go out! The preparation work of the Chinese Medical Center is quite expensive. I plan to pay it out of the stock profits. Your situation is different from mine. It doesn't matter if you come out midway. It seems more important to do a good job in the new job in peace and quiet."

"Well! Then I will be clean tomorrow afternoon! In addition, that senior sister has helped me so much, and I also want to help her. Do you think domestic violence is a disease?"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu couldn't help but be stunned.
