I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan

Chapter 992 - 723: An Awkward Situation

What he said is true; his place is certainly not equipped for liver transplants.If a liver transplant is truly needed, Shen Rong naturally would choose a big, more reliable hospital; he certainly wouldn’t come to his own clinic.

"That’s good, hehe, that’s good."

Shen Rong breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "So, so how do you plan to treat it?"

Regarding the treatment for alcoholic liver disease, Xia Liang naturally already has a method in mind.

Shen Rong’s alcoholic liver disease is characterized by liver and kidney yin deficiency, according to Chinese medicine treatment plans, nourishment of the liver and kidney, promoting blood circulation and removing water stasis should be suitable.

At this moment, hearing Shen Rong’s words, Xia Liang chuckled lightly and said, "Easy to treat, a single effective prescription can cure the illness!"

Shen Rong was immediately overjoyed, his heart started to beat "thump, thump," and his emotions became even more excited.

As long as there’s no liver transplant needed, as long as there’s no surgery needed, as long as he can keep his liver, then it’s good!

"Then, Doctor Xia, please quickly prepare the prescription for me!"

"By the way, you have those medicines here, right? Could you provide them here as well?"

Shen Rong hurriedly said.

"No rush, even seeing a doctor needs to follow order. Please pay first, then I will examine you!"

Xia Liang said calmly.

"Oh, right, right, right, look at me, once I get anxious, my brain goes a little foggy."

"Ah Long, bring my wallet over."

Shen Rong hurriedly called to the driver behind him.

The driver quickly stepped forward and handed Shen Rong’s wallet to him.

Shen Rong picked up the wallet, opened it, took out a stack of cash, counted ten and placed it on the table: "A thousand Yuan for consultation fees, the cost of Chinese medicine is extra, does that work for you?"

Xia Liang didn’t reach for the money on the table but instead showed a teasing smile and asked, "Boss Shen, do you know how much a liver source costs if you go to the hospital for a transplant?"

Shen Rong was taken aback, subconsciously saying, "It should be quite a few thousand, right?"

The driver beside couldn’t help but interject, "Boss, a liver source costs at least twenty thousand, people from my village have checked before."

"That was the price ten years ago; it might be fifty thousand now."

Shen Rong smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I overlooked that, fifty thousand."

"But, aren’t we not doing a transplant here?"

Xia Liang countered, "Do you want a transplant or not want a transplant?"

Shen Rong hurriedly replied, "Of course not! Ultimately, using someone else’s doesn’t feel as secure as your own, and besides, the risk of transplantation is high, even if the liver source matches, complications like rejection or infection later could be severe."

At this point, he immediately understood, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Uh, sorry, Doctor Xia, I was careless."

"How about I offer a hundred Yuan for consultation fees, would that be acceptable?"

Xia Liang chuckled dismissively, "My medical skills are not that cheap!"

"I am a Chinese medicine doctor; I treat people and save lives, as long as I can live up to the plaque behind me."

"But, it’s not to say Chinese medicine is cheaper than Western medicine!"

Shen Rong hesitated and asked, "Then, how much consultation fees do you need?"

Xia Liang said sternly, "One-tenth of a currency unit!"

Shen Rong was startled, almost jumping out of his chair.

One-tenth of a currency unit!

Why don’t you go robbing!

A Chinese medicine consultation fee, unexpectedly asking for one-tenth!

Although he made considerable money after completing the project, one-tenth still isn’t a small amount for him.

Xia Liang seemed to read Shen Rong’s mind and calmly asked, "Why, in a Western medicine hospital, would you be willing to spend fifty thousand on a liver, plus the transplant surgery fee, hospital stay, treatment fee, etc."

"Once you recover and are discharged, the total will likely be around a hundred thousand."

"And now, in Chinese medicine, you aren’t even willing to pay eighty thousand?"

"Do you think Chinese medicine can’t compare to Western medicine?"

Faced with Xia Liang’s questioning, Shen Rong was directly stunned!

Actually, Xia Liang truly voiced his feelings!

In his subconscious, he believed Chinese medicine was inferior to Western medicine.

Because, for a long time, the impression Chinese medicine gave him was merely health preservation, massage, wellness, no way it could treat diseases!

But now, he immediately had a realization.

If it was before, he would still think this way.

But Xia Liang’s medical skills have completely shattered his perception.

Just by Xia Liang casually diagnosing his condition earlier, it was far more effective than the previous cardiology expert Doctor Wang at the hospital by dozens of times!

Moreover, Western medicine treats his alcoholic liver disease not only by liver transplant but also with great subsequent risks, possibly jeopardizing life.

But Chinese medicine is different; Xia Liang can treat his alcoholic liver disease without a transplant or surgery.

Between the two, which is stronger and weaker, the difference is clear!

Thinking of this, Shen Rong immediately stood up, respectfully bowed to Xia Liang, and sincerely said, "I’m sorry, Doctor Xia, I was presumptuous."

As he spoke, he also slapped himself a few times.

And continued, "In my subconscious, I’ve always been using old thoughts to view Chinese medicine without changing, that’s my problem, I sincerely apologize to you now."

"I hope you can accept my apology, sorry."

Xia Liang’s expression finally softened, smiling lightly: "Hehe, Boss Shen, that’s humorous, medicine transcends borders and categories."

"As long as it can treat illness, it’s good medicine."

Shen Rong immediately nodded vigorously: "Right, right, right, Doctor Xia is absolutely right."

"Actually, asking for one-tenth is already very little, I was foolish, I’m sorry."

Then, he directly took out all the money in the wallet, saying, "There’s exactly one-tenth here; it’s the final payment from my project completion."

Shen Rong placed the one-tenth on Xia Liang’s table.

Xia Liang didn’t hold back, directly accepting all the money.

The money was his consultation fee, a testament to his medical skills, and he had no qualms about accepting it.

Moreover, what he asked wasn’t much.

In contrast to Western medicine liver transplant fees, it’s considered very little.

Upon seeing Xia Liang accept the money, Shen Rong finally relaxed his previously tense mind.

He worried earlier that Xia Liang might be upset with him and wouldn’t accept the money.

If that happened, he genuinely wouldn’t know what to do!

In this world, there are two types of people you absolutely cannot offend.

One is a teacher because they shape and educate, impacting your children’s future.

The other one is a doctor; they treat and save lives, holding your life in their hands!

No one can assure they will always live safely, healthily, without illness, without needing a hospital.

Similarly, these two professions are also deserving of respect!

As for Xia Liang, he wasn’t actually too angry about Shen Rong’s actions.

Though he looked down on Chinese medicine, it wasn’t his true intention.

It’s the current status of Chinese medicine, naturally being awkward in society.
