Chapter 49: Not having seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist
Seeing everyone leave, Wang Zhi sat alone in the chair, but his heart was still unable to calm down for a long time. Last time he also heard Qian Senhu say some dark things about the hospital, but it was not as suffocating as experiencing it personally.
Actually, Wang Zhi still appreciates Li Xuanjie's medical skills. Although they can't be described as extremely refined, they are considered to have grasped the basics. Such traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are rare nowadays. Wang Zhi wants to find time to chat with Li Xuanjie more and deepen their relationship, offering guidance in certain aspects.
However, considering his young age and short stay, he had never found the right opportunity to do so, but unexpectedly saw Li Xuanjie's true face this time.
Wang Zhi has always been a straightforward person who dares to take on responsibilities and likes to get involved in unfair situations, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten along with so many heroes. This time, Wang Zhi doesn't think he's done anything excessive. A doctor, when summarizing, doesn't discuss treatment gains or summarize a month's cases, but instead talks about income issues, openly and unapologetically bringing it up at the meeting as if it were a normal topic. This is not just excessive, but shameless, showing no sense of medical ethics.
Throughout the ages, regardless of the dynasty, medical ethics have always been a major issue. From ancient times to the present, countless people have lost their families and lives due to unscrupulous doctors. How many patients have died prematurely because of greedy doctors? Patients entrust their lives to doctors, regarding them as second parents, but what do doctors use to repay this trust? Is it with meaningless expensive medication or exorbitant medical fees, only to fail to save the patient's life in the end? Are these people really doctors, or are they just white-robed butchers?
This kind of thing Wang Zhi can't see, it's nothing, but since he saw it, he absolutely won't tolerate it, won't compromise. He knows that sometimes it's necessary to forbear, but when it comes to the patient's interests, he will never give in. This is a principle, and principles are not allowed to be changed.
After sitting in the office for a while, Wang Zhi went out to check on the house again and looked at the recovery of several patients. Just as he was about to take a break, he received a call from Aze.
"Xiao Zhi, where are you? Let's gather together later."
"Alright, you tell me the place." Wang Zhi smiled and said. He knew that Aze was most concerned about his mother's situation at this time, and he also needed to discuss with Aze. After all, Jiang Huanyang had not offended him yet, whether or not to take revenge still depended on Aze's opinion.
"Then it's still Lin Garden Restaurant, He Ying's father will be there too." Ah Ze said.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhi briefed Qian Senhu about his own inspection situation and matters that needed attention, and then left again.
Lin Garden Restaurant, this time it's a relatively small luxury package. When Wang Zhi arrived, He Guangrong, A Ze He Ying were all there, Cheng Junlong should have stayed at home to take care of Feng Xin, which is in line with Wang Zhi's intention.
"Come, Wang Zhi, let me introduce you. This is He Ying's father and my future father-in-law." After Wang Zhi entered, A Ze warmly greeted him and smiled as he introduced him to Wang Zhi. Although they had seen each other at the engagement ceremony that noon, they hadn't exchanged greetings, so this was their first formal meeting.
"General He, I've heard of you long ago." Wang Zhi stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Haha, Dr. Wang, your name is also well-known to me." He Guangrong stood up and shook hands with Wang Zhi, smiling as he said this. His words were not false, as both He Ying and Huang Jianming had mentioned Wang Zhi's name more than once in front of him over the past few days.
"General He was being polite." The two of them smiled and sat down, while A Ze hastily instructed the waiter to bring wine and order dishes.
"Come on, Wang Zhi, this cup I'll drink first to you, thank you for saving my mom." After the wine arrived, A Ze filled up a few people's cups and was the first to raise his glass.
"Haha, A Ze, you're being too polite. If you say thank you again, I'll leave." Wang Zhi said with a mock angry tone, raising his wine cup.
"My mistake, this cup is on me," Az said, downing it in one gulp.
Wang Zhi didn't bother with him and instead held up his wine cup to He Guangrong, saying: "I'll drink this cup in honor of General He, thank you for taking care of Ah Ze like this."
"Dr. Wang is being polite, after all, Ah Ze is now my son-in-law, taking care of him is a must." He Guangrong said with his mouth, and also raised his wine glass to clink with Wang Zhi's. He could see that when Wang Zhi said those words earlier, he was completely sincere, treating Ah Ze like his own younger brother, standing from the position of an elder brother.
He Guangrong finished drinking and Ah Ze couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Zhi, what happened to my mom? Is everything okay?"
"This... is a bit of a bother to say?" Wang Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth. For Aze, he didn't need to hide things like he did with Cheng Junlong. Aze had grown up and needed to take on some responsibilities for the family too. This time, Wang Zhi wanted Aze to make his own decision.
"What did he say?" Azhe hastily asked.
"Do you know about Auntie's situation?" Wang Zhi asked back.
"How did you know? Did my dad tell you?" Aze was somewhat surprised, he didn't think his father would also tell Wang Zhi about this matter. It was only after Feng Xin watched the news and got a shock that he kept asking and finally found out some of the truth, and it was precisely because he knew the truth that he received stimulation, which is why he went to join the army.
"I'm a doctor, only by fully understanding the truth can I better treat her." Wang Zhi said calmly: "Your mother's illness is heart disease. She has been hiding that thing in her heart for over thirty years, bearing immense grievances and hardships. In fact, she had already exceeded her own limit of endurance long ago, just like carrying a time bomb in her heart all the time, which could explode at any moment. Jiang Huanyang was the fuse, do you understand?"
"What do you mean?" Azhe wasn't stupid and somewhat understood Wang Zhi's meaning.
"My point is, there are two ways to cure Aunt's illness. One, you go ask Jiang Huanyang to act out a play with you, pretending to be down on his luck and miserable, let Aunt see his pitiful state, vent her grievances and resentment in her heart, then Aunt's illness will naturally heal itself." Wang Zhi stopped here, his eyes fixed intently on A Ze.
"What's another way?" Azhe didn't dodge, but looked at Wang Zhi and asked. He had a premonition that Wang Zhi's second method might be even more complicated.
"Heh heh." Wang Zhi shifted his gaze, smiling lightly: "The second method is to really capture Jiang Huanyang and let Auntie see his miserable state clearly. Actually, both methods are the same in principle."
"This, Doctor Wang, is there such a way to treat illness?" He Guangrong asked somewhat displeased. He had seen many treatments before, but he had never heard of treating illness by collecting money from others. Although he also sympathized with A Ze's mother's situation, after all, he was a general, and Jiang Huan Yang was still his classmate. Listening to two younger people discussing how to deal with Jiang Huan Yang didn't feel right in his heart.
"This will make General He laugh, but this method is indeed the best way to cure Aunt Feng's illness." Wang Zhi explained with a smile, completely without avoiding it because he knew about the relationship between He Guangrong and Jiang Huanyang, and his answer was very candid.
"Well, then let's thoroughly settle that dog's account?" Ah Ze slammed his fist on the table and said fiercely. He had long wanted to avenge his mother by dealing with Jiang Huan Yang, but he never had the ability to do so. This time, after hearing Wang Zhi say this, he naturally couldn't wait to take action immediately.
"Rubbish!" He Guangrong also stood up with a slap on the table, coldly saying: "You don't know what's deep or shallow, you're ignorant and fearless. Is Jiang Huan Yang someone you can just take down at will? What qualifications do you have to take him down? No matter how bad he is, he's still a government official, the vice mayor of Jianghuai City. Even if the government wants to take him down, they need to follow procedures. You're just a poor kid, what makes you think you can take someone down?"
He Guangrong was thoroughly angry, this is simply outrageous. After scolding A Ze, he also gave Wang Zhi a fierce look. He originally had a good impression of Wang Zhi, but now there was no longer any good feeling in his heart. In He Guangrong's mind, Wang Zhi was not treating the illness at all, but rather wanted to use his own hands to provoke A Ze and get rid of Jiang Huanyang.
It's no wonder that He Guangrong misunderstood, he has heard a lot about Wang Zhi in the past few days, but only heard about Wang Zhi's medical skills and Jiang Huanyang's conflict, without knowing Wang Zhi's abilities.
"Dad, calm down, what can Aze do about it?" He Ying hastily persuaded.
"Hum! What's the point, it's simply lawless and brainless. Have you ever seen anyone treat patients like this?" He Guangrong glared at his daughter, sat down, and said with a huff.
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not, right?" Wang Zhi asked with a smile, not getting angry at He Guangrong's irritation. He Guangrong's reaction was within his expectations. If He Guangrong hadn't reacted or had supported A Ze instead, that would have been abnormal, and it would have meant that He Guangrong wasn't a qualified soldier.
P.S: Once again calling for collection, recommendation, reward, and likes from friends who love traditional Chinese medicine, thanks a lot.
