After binding with the system, I became a proctology expert.

"Are you threatening me?" Bai's mother's voice suddenly rose, and she pointed her finger at Lu Renxin, almost poking his eye.

Lu Renxin frowned, his heart tightening. He particularly disliked people who pointed their fingers at others.

There was no respect for him whatsoever, only attacks.

"We paid money to come here for medical treatment, just to be treated like this? What kind of attitude is this?"

White Mother squinted, her cloudy eyes gleaming, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes bulging from the effort.

It is said that one's appearance reflects one's heart, and this is indeed true.

Yesterday she seemed like a kind and gentle old lady who took good care of her son, but today she looks like a mean and mean shrew.

She was aggressive, spitting everywhere:

"So what if he's an adult? He's only thirty now. Even if he's forty or fifty in the future, he'll still be a child in my eyes! I just feel sorry for my son."

The air in the dressing room seemed to freeze; no one dared to make a sound, and everyone pricked up their ears, openly eavesdropping.

Bai Zongbao glanced at his mother's flushed face and Lu Renxin's ashen expression, and timidly tried to interject, "Mom..."

In the end, under the stern gaze and oppressive presence of the White Mother, she chose to shut up and buried her head in the gap between her chest and the treatment bed.

Although his mother is usually shrewish, domineering, and unreasonable, she is very strict with him and can be described as spoiling him. She never hesitates to do anything good for him.

When he was very young, his family was not well-off, but his mother would always buy him any snacks he wanted.

When he entered middle school, driven by a competitive mentality, he wanted a pair of brand-name sneakers. His mother gritted her teeth and saved up for two months, and finally bought them for him.

After graduating and returning home, he couldn't find a job and stayed at home every day, sponging off his parents. His mother still didn't say anything.

Instead, she felt even more guilty, feeling that she hadn't provided him with a good family environment.

She works hard every day, saving every penny to prepare money for him to buy a house and a car.

Even if she only eats pickled vegetables for three meals a day, she still has to stir-fry a plate of meat and put it in front of him for every meal.

Otherwise, how could he maintain this physique?

He had had a pilonidal sinus in his coccyx for some time, and Bai's mother was very happy before the surgery.

Even after his surgery yesterday, he was fine. When he complained of pain, his mother just comforted him, saying that he might feel uncomfortable for a few days, but it would be completely healed and he wouldn't feel pain for a long time.

Why this sudden change of attitude this morning?

He tried hard to recall what was unusual last night; his mother had stayed by his side the whole time, only leaving for twenty minutes in between.

What can happen in twenty minutes?

Lu Renxin had reached his limit. They had been at an impasse for almost ten minutes. Ten minutes was enough time for him to get a lot done; he had other patients waiting in line.

"Family members, please do not interfere with the dressing change, or you will have to leave! What's delaying your son's dressing change is this."

"If you want him to keep lying here naked, fine, I'll play along."

These words stirred up a hornet's nest, and Bai's mother raised her voice even louder:

"I'm going to file a complaint against you. Your doctors have terrible attitudes and charge exorbitant fees. You're a heartless hospital..."

"Ordinary people come in just to rip us off..."

As she spoke, she slapped her thigh hard, drew out the tone, and began to perform the act of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

Lu Renxin stood there with his arms crossed, watching the farce unfold.

Anyway, he's still a student and will be graduating soon. At worst, we can just criticize him. He doesn't get paid, so we can't deduct his pay.

In the end, Bai Zongbao felt ashamed and, unusually, mustered his courage, shouting, "Mom!"

His tone was stern: "I'm here for a medical appointment, not playing house. You're not needed here. Go back."

Looking at her son's unusually serious expression and determined eyes, Bai's mother glanced at Lu Renxin, who stood silently by the bedside.

Only then did he stop his tantrum and walk out of the dressing room, cursing and swearing.

Once she was completely out of sight, Bai Zongbao apologized to Lu Renxin in a gentle, low voice:

"I'm sorry, Dr. Lu, my mother is like this. Please bear with her."

Lu Renxin didn't say anything more, but simply picked up the tweezers again, as he had gotten used to it.

He had seen all sorts of patients, so he wasn't saddened or angry.

Some are easy to talk to, some respect doctors, and some are unreasonable and can't understand human language.

His movements remained professional and fluid, but he stopped explaining and spoke as little as possible.

Being a doctor is just a job; suppressing one's compassion and emotions can avoid a lot of trouble.

He continued to carefully treat Bai Zongbao's wounds.

[Congratulations, host, you have completed the dressing change*1, healing value +0.2]

……

As soon as Bai Zongbao stepped out of the dressing room, he saw his mother standing against the wall, waiting for him to come out.

She was no longer as anxious as she had been; her emotions were unusually stable.

After helping her son back to the ward, she leaned close to Bai Zongbao's ear and whispered mysteriously:

"Son, did the doctor say anything after I came out? Was the dressing changed properly?"

Bai Zongbao shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to say, then paused for a moment before replying, "The dressing was changed quite well."

A hint of pride appeared on Bai's mother's face, and her voice was light and cheerful: "Cuifen was right after all. I have to thank her."

She turned on her phone and made a video call to Cuifen.

"The vast horizon is my love..."

"Feed." A slightly hoarse female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Bai's mother quickly spoke up: "It's me, Cuifen. I've already made a huge scene today as you suggested, and I've definitely made the doctor think that my family is not to be trifled with."

Bai Zongbao, who was completely bewildered, gradually figured out the truth of the matter from their conversation.

It turns out that when Bai's mother went out yesterday, she made a phone call to her neighbor Cuifen.

Cuifen told her that Bai Zongbao's problem was minor and he didn't need surgery at all.

Her distant cousin's son had the same problem before; he got some medicine from a small clinic and it cleared up after a few days.

The hospital admitted her son for surgery just to scam money from him.

Bai's mother believed her and began to regret having surgery at Guanghai City Central Hospital.

But by then Bai Zongbao had already finished the surgery and returned home, and it was too late to put the cut flesh back in.

So Cuifen gave Bai's mother an idea: to make a scene.

They said the treatment method promised by the doctor was different, and the wound was too big...

This makes the hospital think they are not to be trifled with, so they dare not overcharge or rip them off.

Bai's mother thought it made a lot of sense, but she was also afraid.

She is usually feisty, but this is the first time she has caused trouble in a hospital. She is afraid that the hospital will kick Bai Zongbao out of his ward because of her.

Since the surgery has already been performed, at least we should make sure that the incision wasn't in vain.

So Cuifen patted her chest and assured them, "Don't worry, we are... what's it called again, a vulnerable group, yes, a vulnerable group, the hospital wouldn't dare do anything."

That's how this farce happened this morning.

"See? I told you that even if you cause trouble, they can't do anything about it." Cuifen's tone was filled with pride at having proven herself right.

Mrs. Bai nodded repeatedly: "If you hadn't told me, I don't know how much more money this trip would have cost..."

Bai Zongbao, lying on the hospital bed, wanted to say something but didn't dare to. Is that really the case?
