Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 884 - Men would leak as well

It was just as Su Tao judged. Jin Kang had a serious case of disharmony between his heart and kidney. Aside from insomnia, there would also be symptoms of backaches. If Jin Kang wasn’t paying attention to it, it would show itself under some external force.

Jin Kang could still endure it if it was ordinary pain. But the position that Su Tao asked the assistant to press was the center of Jin Kang’s pain. So the assistant did not need much force to make Jin Kang suffer from tremendous pain.

Jin Kang was both shocked and frightened, wondering if he was suffering from any terminal diseases. Otherwise, why would it hurt so much?

Jin Kang would usually feel backaches, but he never paid attention to it. He thought that it was normal because of fatigue. But when the assistant pressed it, he could feel a chill in his heart. This made him wonder if he was suffering from any terminal diseases.

Thinking about it again, his insomnia had lasted for half a month. He had only been sleeping for three to four hours a day. He even went as far as taking sleeping pills, but there weren’t any effects.

Jin Kang had done some tests, but the disharmony between heart and kidney wasn’t something that could be detected through modern medical equipment. So from a western medicine’s point of view, Jin Kang was fairly healthy.

When the audience saw Jin Kang suddenly shouting out in pain, they began to talk among themselves.

“So Mr. Su wasn’t the one who talked nonsense. Mr. Jin must be ill. Otherwise, how would he be in so much pain with some pressure?”

“There’s a high possibility of that. He probably wanted to make a fool out of Mr. Su. He was clearly feeling unwell, and he deliberately denied it.”

“Jin Kang has a problem with his character.”

“Not only does he have a problem with his character, but he also has a problem with his brain. Mr. Su is a medical expert invited by the president himself. So isn’t he trying to embarrass the president by making things difficult on the stage?”

The assistant was also taken aback by Jin Kang’s reaction and jumped, “I did not use that much strength.”

“Don’t worry. It has nothing to do with you. You just touched his sore spot. For example, if you have a cut on your hand and someone applied pressure on it, won’t it hurt?” Su Tao explained.

Feeling uneasy, the assistant asked, “What is he suffering from?”

“As I said, it’s his privacy. I’m not in the position to disclose his privacy.” Su Tao feigned helplessness and continued, “Furthermore, I’m also not in the position to treat since Mr. Jin feels that he’s fine.”

Jin Kang was slowly recovering from the pain. When he heard Su Tao’s words, he rolled his eyes furiously. Su Tao might seem polite in the eyes of others, but in his opinion, Su Tao was deliberately trying to put on airs.

“What am I suffering from? There’s no need for you to beat around the bush, is there?” Jin Kang said coldly.

Su Tao was waiting for Jin Kang to say that. He had already fulfilled his obligations of keeping confidentiality to Jin Kang. But since Jin Kang was pushing it, Su Tao had also reached the limit of his patience.

Stretching out his hands, Su Tao replied, “Since you’re not afraid of having your privacy exposed, then I’ll reveal it then. Mr. Jin’s condition is actually commonly seen, it’s called the disharmony between the heart and kidney. It usually manifests in symptoms such as feeling agitated, insomnia, palpitation, dizziness, and tinnitus. Then again, the cause of your condition is different. You’re suffering from a serious sperm leaking condition. That means that your sperm will leak as you urinate. If you don’t believe me, you can do a simple urine test.”

Jin Kang’s face was pale from embarrassment. Su Tao’s diagnosis was accurate because Jin Kang knew about that. He originally thought that it was related to his bad habits, but he never expected that he was actually ill.

Sperm leaking was a rare illness. The audience began to whisper among themselves. It wasn’t too difficult to understand this condition as all of them smiled.

Li Xiao’s face blushed. As someone with no experience between men and women, she felt somewhat embarrassed hearing that sensitive vocabulary. But the nurses behind here began to babble about it.

“I never expected Mr. Jin to have such a strange disease. No matter he had many girlfriends but they all broke out when marriage was involved. I guess it’s because he’s fickle, but he’s incapable.” A nurse smiled.

“I never expected men would leak.” A nurse had no favorable impression of Jin Kang as she commented viciously.

The nurse next to him giggled, “I thought only women would leak. So it turns out that men leak as well.”

Jin Kang’s face turned red standing on the podium. He finally regretted his actions. Su Tao was sincere about keeping his privacy, but he courted death and forced Su Tao to reveal it.

Most importantly, Su Tao even provided a method to prove his words. So if Jin Kang still denied it, it would all be revealed with a urine check. At that time, it would be more difficult for him.

Moreover, he had already believed in Su Tao’s ability. Sometimes, he would wake up from his sleep with his shorts wet. All of his symptoms were as Su Tao said.

He might have dated many girls, but he would often encounter an awkward situation in bed. Many of his girlfriends wanted to break up with him because of his incapability.

Jin Kang was a conceited person, so he secretly conducted various examinations on himself, but he wasn’t able to find anything. Now that he heard Su Tao’s words, he finally knew what was going on.

Su Tao pressed his hands down to calm the commotion and continued, “All of us here are doctors and we must treat every illness seriously. The organs will be faulty now and then, so there’s no need to discriminate just because Mr. Jin’s condition involved his privacy. In fact, Mr. Jin’s condition might seem troublesome, but it can be easily fixed.”

Jin Kang sighed inwardly. He had practically courted humiliation himself. He originally wanted to humiliate Su Tao, but he never expected that he was really suffering from an illness.

“Mr. Su, I would like to apologize to you for my actions. I lied. I have been suffering from insomnia. I also hope that you can help me regardless of my previous actions.” Jin Kang knew that it was pointless for him to hold onto it. It was better for him to bow his head to retain some dignity.

Su Tao was a little surprised, thinking that Jin Kang was still rational. Although he did not have any favorable impression about Jin Kang, he still needed to ensure the fluency of the lecture.

“I’ll give you a prescription, it’s called the Heart Nourishing Pellet. 15 grams of Ginseng, Wolfiporia, Scrophulariaceae, Salvia, Platycodon, Polygala each. 30 grams of Angelica, Schisandra, Ophiopogon, Asparagus, Boziren, and Suanzaoren. Lastly but not least, 120 grams of raw Rehmannia. Make a decoction of that. One dose daily and split it into three times a day.”

Jin Kang took the prescription from Su Tao in embarrassment before he left the conference hall. He was too embarrassed from staying behind.

Every man cares the most about their face. Now that everyone knew that he had a problem in that aspect, who knew how they would look at him in the future. Not to mention that he was also holding a high position.

At this moment, he wanted to dig a hole to bury himself in it.

After Jin Kang left, applause sounded out in the conference hall. Li Xiao was among them who applauded with excitement for Su Tao’s medical skills.

The assistant also sighed in relief. Things had gone through twists and turns. Just a moment ago, Su Tao was almost forced down the stage by Jin Kang, but no one had expected that Su Tao would solve the problem so ingeniously.

No one likes listening to lectures full of speech. It was boring and they needed some excitement like what Su Tao did.

It was mainly because everyone heard Jin Kang’s condition, which aroused their gossiping hearts.

Tao Qiuping propped his spectacles and waved his hand at the assistant. When the assistant came over, he whispered, “Jin Kang is too young. He still needs to be tempered. Find someone to replace his position. As for him, let him know how to put his medical ethics first.”

The assistant knitted his brows and replied with difficulty, “But he’s the nephew of Renhe District’s Health Bureau.”

“So what? The doctor has a strict requirement for our doctors. Only those who are capable deserves to be promoted. You can’t be promoted just because of a relationship or the hospital will be in a mess.” Tao Qiuping waved his hand.

In fact, any doctors in Huaqing Hospital relied on relationships to get in. Jin Kang’s uncle was an official, but he was nothing in Beijing.

Huaqing Hospital was the same as Tianhe Hosptial, directly under the National Healthcare and Family Planning Commission. So Tao Qiuping had a higher ranking and he did not have to pay any attention to Jin Kang’s uncle.

Tao Qiuping was also speechless about Jin Kang. How could the National Healer title be so easily obtained without going through strict examinations?

Perhaps there might be some unspoken rules in the hospital, but everyone from the Central Healthcare Bureau was all specialists and top-notched figures in the medical field.

Not to mention that Su Tao was even responsible for Vice-Premier Xiao’s health. If Su Tao did not have any skills, how would the National Healer Team recommend him to Vice-Premier Xiao?

Tao Qiuping sighed inwardly. He was thankful that things got on the right track. If Su Tao was embarrassed today, not only would the lecture be meaningless today, but he might even be in trouble for that.

Su Tao never expected that the atmosphere would be so lively as he continued, “I’ve prepared a lot of content for everyone, but you guys seem to be more interested in live demonstration. So let me focus on this aspect, explaining to you guys the principles of TCM in the process.”
