“Since we are already here, why not wait until tomorrow?” one of the two young women suggested .
“May I ask if you can tell which of the two young women is sick?” Pan Jun asked .
The more time he spent with Wang Yao, the better he knew him . Pan Jun knew that Wang Yao had amazing medical skills . For example, Wang Yao was extremely good at the four diagnostic methods based on Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy .
Some of his capacities were beyond Pan Jun’s imagination . Wang Yao could tell if a person was sick or not and which part of the body had problems by taking a glance at him or her . He didn’t even need the assistance of any equipment to diagnose a patient . He could just start to conduct treatment .
“Both of them are sick,” Wang Yao said as he took a sip of tea . “The difference is that one of them is curable, and the other is not . ”
“Can I take another look at your notes?” Pan Jun asked .
“Sure . ” Wang Yao gave him the notebook .
A moment later, another person came into the clinic . It was an old man in his 60s . He looked relatively fit but had sluggish eyes . He came with a man in his 40s .
“Sorry, we…” As Pan Jun was about to tell the two men that Wang Yao was not going to see any more patients, Wang Yao stopped him .
“Teacher?” Pan Jun asked .
“Let them stay,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Pan Jun said .
“Hello, Dr . Wang, can you please take a look at my father?” the middle-aged man asked .
“Take a seat,” Wang Yao said . “How can I help you?”

“I feel dizzy and numbness in my head . I also have a bit of double vision,” the old man said .
“How long have you been feeling like this?” Wang Yao asked .
“About a month,” the old man said .
“Do you have heart disease or have you had any heart surgery?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, had a stent implantation,” the middle-aged man said .
“You have two problems,” Wang Yao said . “First, the numbness and double vision are caused by mild blockage in brain vessels, which can be removed . Second, dizziness is caused by insufficient blood supply in your brain . It is also related to your heart condition . There is no easy way to fix it . ”
“Can you treat the blockage?” the middle-aged man asked . “At least one of the problems can be fixed . ”
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
It was easy . Wang Yao removed the blockage through acupuncture and massage . That problem was not serious .
Wang Yao gave the old man acupuncture treatment first . The old man became impatient as soon as Wang Yao inserted needles into his head .
“Do I have to sit here for a long time?” the old man abruptly asked .
“The acupuncture treatment takes some time,” Wang Yao said . “Is everything alright?”
The old man didn’t say anything . He just sat there stiffly .
“Let me know if you don’t feel comfortable,” Wang Yao said .
“Are you alright?” the middle-aged man asked .

“I’m fine,” the old man grumpily said .
Wang Yao was still concerned, so he felt the pulse of the old man to make sure he was alright before proceeding with further treatment . After the acupuncture treatment, he went on to give the old man a massage .
The old man asked again, “Is it going to take long?”
Wang Yao stopped treatment and looked at the old man . “Are you in a hurry to leave?”
The old man didn’t answer . He looked preoccupied .
“You are doing it again,” the patient’s son grumpily said . “Just ignore him, Doctor . He’s like this all the time, so ill-tempered . Please continue with the treatment . ”
Wang Yao continued to massage the old man’s head . After the session, he asked, “Do you feel better?”
“Better?” the old man asked with confusion .
“I’ve finished the massage session . I was asking if you are feeling any better . ” Wang Yao had never come across such a strange man .
“Oh, you are done . Let’s go,” the old man said to his son .
“Are you feeling better or not?” his son grumpily asked .
The old man didn’t answer . He left the clinic without hesitation . His son had to chase after him after paying Wang Yao the treatment fee .
“Interesting old man,” Pan Jun said with a smile .
“Indeed,” Wang Yao said .
Apparently, the old man was ill-tempered . Even his children had no idea what was on his mind . People sometimes called old people like that old kids because they were like kids who often had mood swings and were childish .

“Is he seriously ill?” Pan Jun asked .
“Not really . He does have a relatively serious heart condition because one of the blood vessels around his heart shrank badly . That’s why he had a stent implantation . His temper also does no good to his health,” Wang Yao said . “People with a heart condition should control their temper and try to stay calm . Mood swings will only make their condition worse . Look at that old man . ”
“I thought you were not going to see any more patients this afternoon,” Pan Jun said .
“I don’t like the two girls who came earlier, so I didn’t want to treat them,” Wang Yao said . “But, I’m happy to see other patients . ”
“What’s wrong with those two girls?” Pan Jun asked .
“They must have done something really naughty,” Wang Yao said .
“What?” Pan Jun asked with surprise .
“I’ll tell you tomorrow if they come back here,” Wang Yao said . “By the way, will you be on duty tomorrow?”
“I’ll ask someone to cover my shift tomorrow,” Pan Jun said .
Outside the clinic, the middle-aged man asked his father if he felt better after getting into the car .
“Yes,” the old man coldly said .
His son sighed and drove his father back home .
“How did it go?” his mother asked after he and his father arrived home .
“The doctor gave him acupuncture and a massage treatment . Dad didn’t say much about how he felt,” the middle-aged man replied .
“I see . You can go back now,” his mother said .
“OK, call me if you need me, Mom,” the middle-aged man said .
“I will,” his mother said .
After the middle-aged man left, his mother went into the bedroom and found her husband lying on the bed .
“What’s wrong?” she asked her husband . “You said you were not well, so he took you to see a doctor . ”
“A doctor!?” The old man suddenly sat up angrily . “He took me to a small village to see a young man who looks like in his late 20s . What can such a young man do? I’m a doctor myself . I don’t think that young man should be called a doctor . I know he’s busy, but at least he should have taken me to Lianshan People’s Hospital!”
“He’s taken you there, as well as Haiqu People’s hospital,” his wife said .
“That was a while ago,” the old man said .
“Stop being upset . Your son is trying to be good to you . I heard that doctor in the village is quite good,” his wife said .
“Really? How come I don’t know?” the old man grumpily asked .
“What do you know? You stay at home all the time listening to the radio or reading the newspaper . What do you know?” His wife also had become a bit upset .
Women had menopause . Sometimes men had similar conditions . The old man had been ill-tempered for last two years, especially after the heart surgery . The surgeon had prompted him to control his temper and not to get angry, at least not to get angry all the time . His wife and children tried their best not to cross him . However, if he wanted an inch, they gave him a foot . He was spoiled by his family .
The old man didn’t speak . He went back to lie on his bed . His wife also stopped talking and left the room .
The more the old man thought about his trip to the village, the more upset he got . He really wanted his son to take him to a hospital in the city instead of an isolated village . He couldn’t believe the young doctor in the clinic dared to give him acupuncture treatment . He felt he was a guinea pig .
The old man sat up again after lying for a while . He walked back and forth in the room, had two glasses of water, and went back to lie on the bed again .
In the village, Pan Jun left Wang Yao’s clinic at about 5 p . m . Sun Yunsheng came along to say goodbye since he was about to leave after everything in Dao had settled . After all, he had a big company to run . He couldn’t stay in the village all the time .
“Dr . Wang, I have chosen several locations for the pharmaceutical factory,” he said . “The local government is supportive . Take a look . ”
He took out a map with two locations highlighted . Both areas were smooth with convenient traffic . They were both suitable for establishing a pharmaceutical factory .
