When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 752: Chapter 752: What is Common Sense? (Extra for Alliance Hierarch MONEY!)

The man, upon hearing this, was immediately embarrassed!

He wasn’t someone to shirk responsibility; it was just that seeing his father feeling unwell had made him anxious. He rushed to the emergency room and happened to see Luo Zhou, so he couldn’t help but say some harsh words.

“I was anxious, I was wrong! I apologize to Doctor Luo, but… won’t this medication irritate my father’s stomach condition?”

Chen Cang shook his head.

The reason he hadn’t explained earlier but instead pointed out the patient’s mistake directly was to tell him that he was wrong, not the doctor!

Some issues are a matter of perspective!

Chen Cang stood firm.

I can’t allow you, just because you are a patient, to come to our emergency department and abuse our doctors at will.

We provide you with medical services, but we are not here for you to vent your emotions.

Especially when you ignore the doctor’s advice after hearing rumors and then come to insult the doctor when complications arise.

The man’s face turned red with Chen Cang’s words.

His face was full of embarrassment.

After apologizing, Chen Cang then explained:

“Aspirin enteric-coated tablets should be taken on an empty stomach! Taking them after meals will actually damage the gastric mucosa!”

The man was startled, his eyes widening: “That can’t be true? How is it possible! Who hears of something that’s bad for the stomach if taken after meals… That’s common knowledge…”

Chen Cang couldn’t help shaking his head, smiling: “What is common knowledge, really?”

“You bought aspirin enteric-coated tablets which have a film coating around them. This film does not dissolve in stomach acid, so it doesn’t act in the stomach, nor is it absorbed there. If it doesn’t react, then how can it have side effects?

If taken on an empty stomach, the stomach is acidic without any food content, and the film won’t break down in this acidic environment, but will instead go into the intestines, where it will break down in the alkaline environment and start working.

However, if the medication is taken after meals, the stomach’s environment is mixed with food and affected by the food’s acidity or alkalinity. The stomach might not be acidic at this time. Additionally, the physical friction from the food itself might cause the film to break down prematurely, dispersing in the stomach and damaging the gastric mucosa.”

The man’s commotion had already attracted many patients. Hearing Chen Cang’s explanation, the surrounding crowd was shocked!

It turned out…

Their so-called common knowledge was all wrong.

Just do as the doctor says, why insist on using your own misguided knowledge to challenge their expertise? Isn’t that just asking for trouble!

Chen Cang spoke in simple and understandable terms, clearly and logically explaining the issue.

The issue was quickly clarified.

The man’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he sighed.

Without making a fuss, he turned to Luo Zhou, shaking his head helplessly.

“Doctor Luo, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused! I’ll bring you a banner another day to apologize!”

“I am truly sorry… I… I won’t bother everyone any longer.”

The man glanced at Luo Zhou, embarrassed, and gave Chen Cang a bow of apology with a smile, then got up to leave.

The surrounding onlookers also took a deep breath.

It seems that in the future, one should not casually believe what others say.

Wouldn’t it be better to just follow the doctor’s advice?

After the crowd dispersed, Luo Zhou looked at Chen Cang, smiling awkwardly: “I’ve caused you trouble.”

Chen Cang smiled and patted Luo Zhou on the shoulder: “This is my turf, aren’t I supposed to cover for you?”

Luo Zhou smiled and nodded his head.

In fact, Luo Zhou didn’t want to create trouble because Chen Cang was his classmate and he didn’t want to make things difficult for Chen Cang.

Being brothers and friends means thinking a bit more for each other. Chen Cang had already taken good care of him normally, so he couldn’t cause trouble for him.

Luo Zhou realized that he had a lot to learn.

Dealing with people, academic knowledge, social niceties, and so on…

Even the affair with the aspirin enteric-coated tablets just now, although he also understood it somewhat… he couldn’t explain it comprehensively to the patient.

Being a doctor really requires constant self-improvement, improving communication skills, and a solid theoretical foundation! Only then can one better serve the patients.

Patient and doctor should not be opposing each other, but should stand on the same front fighting disease.

This was also his fault!

Luo Zhou reflected for a moment, then went into the office.

…

…

Just as Chen Cang was about to leave, Xu Rou’s phone rang.

“Hello? Manager Xu, what’s up?”

On the other end, Xu Rou smiled awkwardly: “Doctor Chen, there’s something I need to tell you. The owner of the Toyota 4S store, Zhang, is your client. Knowing that your parents are buying a car, they insisted on giving them a Prado.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was immediately dumbfounded; this couldn’t be given away casually, a car is worth several hundred thousand!

Thinking of this, Chen Cang hurriedly said, “Manager Xu, send me your location. I’ll be right there.”

4S stores are generally located outside downtown areas, after all, they require large plots of land, and the cost of land is too high in the city.

After half an hour’s drive, Chen Cang stopped at a Toyota 4S store.

Chen Cang entered, and Xu Rou hurried out to meet him.

“Dr. Chen, she’s inside.”

Chen Cang nodded and followed Xu Rou inside, where he saw a familiar face—it was his own handiwork!

The woman saw Chen Cang and quickly came over with a smile, “Dr. Chen, long time no see!”

Chen Cang immediately smiled. He was quite familiar with this woman; she had come for cosmetic surgery along with Fu Yufang and was among his earliest clients.

Back then, cosmetic surgery with Chen Cang wasn’t expensive—200,000.

Now, 200,000… probably wouldn’t even get you an appointment.

The woman was 38 years old and maintained herself well, still charming.

Chen Cang chuckled, “Sister Zhang, it’s been a while. You look better and better. I didn’t expect Sister Zhang to be so capable, opening such a big store.”

The woman laughed gracefully, “There’s nothing impressive about me, it’s just the blessing of my ancestors. You’re the one with real talent! But… Little Chen, you didn’t do right this time. Buying a car and not coming to me, do you look down on our cars?”

Chen Cang laughed and hurriedly explained.

The woman said, “If it weren’t for Manager Xu, I wouldn’t have even known. Here’s the thing, Little Chen, I can’t cheat you as your sister, I’ll let you in on everything.”

“I roughly understand the purpose your father will use the car for, mainly driving around the village. Now I won’t mention anything else, but our Prado’s off-road performance is very good, powerful, and it has a large interior space. The car is about 190 cm tall, 190 cm wide, 5 meters all around, seven seats, five doors, front-located four-wheel drive, strong horsepower, six-speed automatic manual transmission…”

“And, I really like this car for road trips. The riding experience is nice.”

The woman was quite familiar with the car, rattling off its features.

Chen Dahai was very tempted.

Indeed, compared to the Buick GL8, this car was much better, but… it was twice as expensive!

The woman couldn’t help but add, “Little Chen, most importantly, Buick’s safety has been somewhat questionable lately. If you do like Buicks, wait a bit longer. I have friends who own Buick stores. I have no reason to lie to you, right?”

Chen Cang really didn’t understand much about cars.

After much discussion, both Chen Cang and Chen Dahai had a test drive, and it felt even more assertive than Chen Cang’s Paramela.

Of course, it was bound to be less fuel-efficient!

But considering its versatility and most importantly its safety, Chen Cang watched as his father seemed genuinely pleased and made an instant decision.

Seeing Chen Cang enthused, the woman smiled and said, “Little Chen, don’t worry about the car’s maintenance. If there’s a problem, just drive it over. I’ll have someone fix it for you.”

“As for the cost, you don’t need to mention it. After all, I saved so much money on the cosmetic work before, it wouldn’t be right to charge you now.”

The woman insisted on not taking money for the repairs and even gave away a bunch of things, including a 50,000 yuan gas card from Sinopec.

This made Chen Cang feel quite embarrassed!

After all, the car’s on-the-road price was nearly 700,000 yuan, and after including all sorts of discounts, maintenance, repair services, and a gas card, Sister Zhang was really going all out!

Chen Cang felt particularly indebted when the woman bashfully said to him, “Little Chen, after seeing Fu Yufang’s work last time… I want to have some surgery too. When will you have time? We can negotiate the price, let’s keep our business separate, can you do me this favor?”

Chen Cang nodded without refusing.

After all, relationships between people are all about a mutual exchange of favors.

Chen Cang had Xu Rou make an appointment for Sister Zhang to have the procedure done when he found the time.

Meanwhile, Sister Zhang contacted the vehicle management office, promising to handle all the paperwork for Chen Dahai within two days and to choose a good license plate for him.

Chen Cang couldn’t help but marvel.

Running a 4S store isn’t just about having the money; many owners are children of leaders!

But these things didn’t relate much to Chen Cang.

When leaving, Chen Dahai was beaming, full of anticipation.

Who would have thought!

In his lifetime, he’d be able to drive such a great car.

Apart from everything else, just looking at the Prado you could see it was imposing; parking it anywhere made it look absolutely fierce.

This actually quite matched Chen Dahai’s personality.

As Yang Jiahui put it, Chen Dahai had an assertive way of flipping his wok when cooking!

It was that indomitable spirit she had fallen for all those years ago.

ps: Thank you to “Bai Jingjing’s Husband” for the 10,000 reward, thank you!

As someone who doesn’t own a car, I really don’t understand much about them. Please forgive this novice… after all, I can’t afford it yet. By the time I can, I probably will write about it.
