I'm just a veterinarian! You've unlocked the Great Physician System!

Chapter 46 Practicing Medicine Illegally, Ten Years in Prison: The Veteran's Last Battle! [Begging for Monthly Tickets and Recommendations]

"Speechless. The Qing Dynasty is over. Can we stop indulging in feudal superstitions? Boss Zhao's brain hemorrhage didn't start because Veterinarian Zhang came. The car accident didn't happen because of Veterinarian Zhang either. He actually played a big role in this."

"That's right. The village doctor fainted mainly because he was too excited and experienced an emotional fainting spell. Simply put, emotional excitement caused a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain and causing fainting."

"At first, he thought that the other person was superior because they were from a prestigious university, and that it was reasonable for a noob like himself to be inferior. But he didn't expect that the other person was a veterinarian. They both performed wound cleaning and medication, but the other person preferred a veterinarian to him. It's understandable that he was frustrated and angry to the point of fainting!"

"Sigh, I'm a veterinarian, I'm ashamed of myself! I'm fainting!!"

"He's just a junior doctor on the front lines of the emergency department. His skillful techniques and experience can indeed reduce the pain of wound cleaning, but I'm really curious about which expert he studied under, since even a child barely feels anything with his cleaning methods. He's amazing!"

"Using the same emergency room supplies, children have a lower pain tolerance, yet he managed to keep the prices just within their tolerance range. That's an incredible skill!"

"That just goes to show, the landlady has a sharp eye!"

"Think about it, if they're so skilled at surgery on cattle, how bad could they be at surgery on humans? I'm just curious, why does the university train its clinical veterinarians to such a high standard?!"

"I've already contacted the largest veterinary medical college; I'll ask them in a bit."

of course.

Feudal superstition did not last long.

Medical students who had previously muted their microphones jumped out of the live stream.

To clarify things for Zhang Lingchuan.

At the same time, they were also puzzled as to how well the other party could clean wounds, wondering how their alma mater had trained them.

Sure enough, someone has already contacted the College of Veterinary Medicine.

on site.

During a chat among viewers in the live stream.

"Achuan, take this five hundred yuan. You've really worked hard today."

After finishing their business, Zhang Lingchuan and his group were ready to leave.

At that moment, a dark-skinned man took out five hundred yuan from his pocket.

"Uncle Hu, I can't accept this money."

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head.

"Why can't I accept it? You treated everyone's wounds, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to pay for their medical expenses!"

The dark-skinned man raised his voice several decibels at this moment.

"Lingchuan, just take this money. And keep this red envelope too. It's my house call fee for you. We need to thank you for what happened to Lao Zhao!"

When Li Caihua heard that Lingchuan and the others had finished eating and were about to leave, she stuffed a thick red envelope into his hand.

In Lingnan, when it comes to matters involving people, people generally don't give cash, but rather a red envelope, and of course, the amount inside is never small.

"A-Chuan, take it if you give it to me, after all, it's a matter of saving a life."

Zhao Liguo already knew about his son's brain hemorrhage and hospitalization, and at this moment he felt grateful to Zhang Lingchuan.

seriously.

Such a handsome young man, capable and humble, would actually be a good choice to be his granddaughter's husband.

Unfortunately, he didn't seem very interested.

It seems I'll have to talk to Zheng Hai again and see if I can find a breakthrough.

After all, it's so far to the north. It will take the elderly couple several hours to get there, flying back and forth in the sky.

They are very close to Xiapo Village.

It only takes about 30 minutes to drive here from Xiagou Village.

Besides, his granddaughter is quite good-looking.

They just graduated from university this year and have been admitted to a good graduate school in Lingnan Province. They're going to start their studies there when the semester begins!

Zhao Liguo thought they were a good match.

"Uncle Zhao, Boss Lady, Uncle Hu, I can accept the veterinary house call fee, but I really can't accept money to treat your wounds, because I only have a veterinary license, not a human medicine license. It would be illegal to accept your money."

Zhang Lingchuan explained the reason to them at this moment. He had just arrived here and had not thought of charging a single penny. He was already grateful for the opportunity to get started.

Furthermore, he wasn't bluffing about breaking the law. It's a regulation that actually exists in national health and hygiene laws and regulations.

Occasional medical activities among relatives and friends that are conducted under the premise of informed consent, voluntariness, and free of charge, and are not for business purposes or for profit, are not considered illegal medical practice.

In simple terms, a veterinarian can only accept payment for veterinary services. Treating wounds is a service that village doctors can only offer when they are too busy to do it themselves, and they cannot accept payment for it. Doing so would be illegal and a crime.

"Illegal??"

"so serious?"

"Yes! It's illegal to give money voluntarily?"

Everyone looked at each other, clearly not believing it.

"Doctor, is this true?"

Zhao Liguo looked in the direction of the village doctor, who, as a doctor, should be able to tell the truth from the falsehood.

"Yes, Brother Zhang is right. You can't treat people with just a veterinary license, unless it's as a favor. If you take money, you might be committing the crime of practicing medicine without a license, which can carry a maximum sentence of ten years in prison."

The village doctor, who had recovered, felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart upon hearing these words.

Not only did someone with only a blue veterinary license do such a good job of wound cleaning, but they also managed to tell that Mr. Zhao, who came to pick up his medicine with a headache in the morning, had suffered a brain hemorrhage.

He now suspects that his medical practitioner's license was issued to the wrong person.

What happened to the idea that veterinarians are at the bottom of the social hierarchy?!

Now look at that village doctor, he's the real deal!

"It's true."

The crowd gasped in disbelief.

"This……"

The dark-skinned man also suspended the five hundred yuan in the air and finally gave it to the village doctor.

But the village doctor returned four bills and even gave back some change.

After all, cleaning and applying medication doesn't cost much in medical expenses.

As for labor costs.

He doesn't have a single penny paid!

"Lingchuan, please accept this red envelope. It contains your consultation fee for the surgery you performed on our cow."

Li Caihua smiled and handed the red envelope to Zhang Lingchuan.

"Madam, removing the wire from the cow costs 80 yuan. The surgery for the second cow is a bit more complicated. I checked and my dad's price is 200 yuan per session, so that's 280 yuan in total. I can't accept any more than that."

Zhang Lingchuan opened the red envelope directly.

Everyone saw that it was a large stack of red banknotes.

A conservative estimate is at least twenty.

"I'll take three bills, and give you twenty yuan in change, ma'am."

Zhang Lingchuan took out 20 yuan as change and handed the rest of the money to the proprietress.

His consultation fee and surgery fee are whatever they are.

Treating patients is a form of assistance and should not be charged.

Furthermore, it is not permitted by law, because according to the law, accepting money is considered practicing medicine illegally, which is an illegal act.

"Hey! Why are you so stubborn?!"

When Li Caihua saw Zhang Lingchuan open the red envelope, take three bills, and give her twenty yuan in change, she immediately stomped her feet in frustration.

Yet no one noticed.

Zhao Liguo's dim old eyes flashed with a blinding light.

He's handsome, capable, and principled enough not to be swayed by money.

Isn't he a perfect son-in-law of the Zhao family?
It seems this veteran still has one last crucial battle to fight!
