Healing Doctor

Chapter 83 is a bit harsh.

If possible, Feng Yuqing really wanted to slap Ji Xiang hard on the back of the head.

But she dared not.

Although she can be a little willful and capricious at times, it depends on who she's dealing with. Feng Yuqing has always been very good at maintaining a proper sense of boundaries.

Because she knows who she can afford to offend and who she can't.

Ji Xiang?

I'm afraid that if I beat the younger one, the older one will come after me.

If his son-in-law, whose reputation in Jiangnan is legendary, were to...

Feng Yuqing dared not think any further.

Moreover, if that person were to blame me, being confined to my home for a few years would be the least of my worries; I might even be exiled to Argentina.

The key issue is that I can't even beat them.

But... Ji Xiang went too far! He went way too far!

A resident trainee actually questioned a top nephrology expert in this tone.

He's the one who truly doesn't understand the rules!

Not only Feng Yuqing had this thought, but everyone else in the room also looked at Ji Xiang with astonishment, as if they were looking at a monster.

The veteran expert from Shanghai probably ignored him and simply turned off the video.

However, the reality is different from what everyone thought.

"Um... um..."

The next second, a stuttering voice came from behind.

Feng Yuqing was stunned. The voice sounded familiar, but it lacked the professionalism and determination of the past. Instead, it was filled with unease and guilt, and even a hint of fear.

He spoke with extreme caution, and even through the wireless network, Feng Yuqing could sense the rapid thought process of the person speaking, as he carefully considered every word he uttered.

He was afraid of Ji Xiang!

Although Feng Yuqing recognized the speaker's voice instantly, she couldn't believe it and struggled to shift her gaze from Ji Xiang to the screen.

He's a veteran expert from Shanghai!

It's really him!

Why is he stuttering? Shouldn't you just turn off the video?

"Tell me about it." Ji Xiang reached out and tapped the tablet lightly.

The old expert on the other end of the video instinctively flinched, as if Ji Xiang was about to slap him in the groin.

Feng Yuqing has seen many people who are impolite and do not understand respect. It is said that back then, that son-in-law was so oppressed that he swept through the Jiangnan region like a dragon crossing the river, knocking out the back teeth of many people.

But Ji Xiang... he's still young, why is he imitating his grandfather?

Feng Yuqing felt a little contemptuous. She never expected that the dragon among men would raise such an arrogant and ignorant son.

"My diagnosis is inaccurate too, what do you think?"

The next second, the old expert in the video asked with a look of fear, astonishment, and grievance.

It was as if Ji Xiang had just pointed his finger and actually slapped a huge slap across his face.

What's going on here?!

Feng Yuqing was stunned.

The role reversal left her utterly bewildered, and she even felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, as if she were in a bizarre dream.

"You just said you'd perform a kidney transplant on the patient?" Ji Xiang looked down at the expert in the video and said coldly.

"I don't!"

In the video, the old expert instinctively leaned back, as if trying to escape the palm strike that seemed to come from the sky.

He forgot that this was a video consultation, and like a frightened bird, beads of sweat trickled down his temples.

"According to your diagnosis, the hormone therapy has not been effective after a period of time. Should we proceed with a kidney transplant?" Ji Xiang suddenly took a half step forward.

"Clang!"

In the video, the elderly expert tried to dodge, but the chair he was sitting on overturned, and he fell to the ground.

Uh……

Feng Yuqing looked as if she had undergone plastic surgery and had three eyelid slits opened. Her eyes were wide open, her field of vision instantly becoming 270°. She looked at the flustered old expert in the video and Ji Xiang beside her with confusion.

What's going on?

This makes absolutely no sense. Feng Yuqing's hands trembled slightly.

She was certain that Ji Xiang wasn't putting on an act with that old expert.

If that tyrannical mother, that legendary son who swept across Jiangnan, cared about her so much, Feng Yuqing estimated that her father would send half of his family fortune as her dowry tomorrow, and then, whether she wanted to or not, she would be dressed in a wedding gown and married into the Ji family.

Moreover, coming to see this little girl was a spur-of-the-moment decision; it just so happened that the two things happened at the same time. Liu Hui had only contacted him yesterday.

impossible,

It is absolutely impossible.

In an instant, countless thoughts surged through Feng Yuqing's mind.

But why?!

Ji Xiang had shed all his childishness; he stood before the tablet like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, questioning the old expert.

The video was completely empty. After a full ten seconds, the old expert finally got up looking disheveled.

His neatly styled, almost ironed, gray hair was disheveled, making him look extremely disheveled.

"Boss, it's like this," the old expert explained cautiously, ignoring the pain all over his body.

Boss?

Boss!

Feng Yuqing's mind raced.

It must be that the female Tyrannosaurus Rex that developed life-related medicines or equipment at the research institute in Shanghai!

Otherwise, why would the veteran expert call Ji Xiang "boss"?

She didn't understand that "boss" was a respectful or joking term used by graduate and doctoral students to refer to their professors who had research grants.

The expert on the other end of the video call was completely bewildered, instinctively calling out the word "boss." He quickly gathered his thoughts and began to explain meticulously.

"The patient's condition is quite obvious, and I suspect it is caused by an autoimmune disease."

The old expert had his head down; he had bumped into something and gotten a small cut on his head, from which blood was quietly flowing out.

But he didn't seem to notice, just kept his head down, not daring to look at Ji Xiang, and quickly reported his diagnostic basis and related theoretical logic to his "boss".

"Your household registration is in Shanghai?" Ji Xiang asked a seemingly unrelated question after he finished speaking, his tone full of mockery.

"Uh...yes, boss."

Sweat mixed with blood flowed down.

"That's good."

"Thank you for your trouble, boss."

Listening to their strange conversation, Feng Yuqing felt as if she were in a nightmare, a nightmare from which she could never wake up.

"If the prison sentence is long, it will usually be in the prison in the place where the household registration is located."

Ji Xiang said calmly.

"There are excellent Shanghai-style jade carving traditions in Shanghai's prisons. This kind of craft is hard to learn in normal times, but it is very good to learn in a closed environment."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

Ji Xiang's words were really harsh; he dug up all the bamboo shoots on the mountain, leaving them without any offspring.

"In addition, there are techniques such as Songjiang Gu embroidery and Jiading bamboo carving. Many national and Shanghai municipal-level master craftsmen have emerged from among released prisoners. So, having a Shanghai hukou (household registration) is still somewhat useful; at least it can provide you with a safety net."

"!!!"

The old expert on the other end of the video call didn't see anything wrong with it at all.

In just a moment, he was drenched in sweat, and his body began to tremble.

"Who is your teacher? Is this how he taught you?" Ji Xiang asked sternly.

The old expert's lips moved slightly, as if he was about to say something, but then he seemed a little dazed.

"Boss, what is your diagnosis?" The old expert asked in a low voice after a great deal of effort to calm himself down.

"You just took the patient's medical history, and the patient stated that they had no abnormalities before the onset of illness, but had a travel history to the pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia. How could you not notice something so obvious!"

Ji Xiang's voice wasn't loud; he didn't yell or roar at the video.

But Feng Yuqing seemed to see the scene from twenty-two years ago, where the poor boy in tattered clothes came to their door alone and made several families in Jiangnan obedient.

This is a dream, it must be a dream!

Feng Yuqing was somewhat agitated. In her daze, she felt that all of this must be a dream, and that she needed to wake up!

Reach out and pinch the tender flesh on the inside of your left arm with your thumb and forefinger.

Twist it hard!

"Ouch..."

Feng Yuqing cried out in pain.

"Quiet down, we're having a consultation." Ji Xiang turned around and gave Feng Yuqing a deep look.

"Hey." Feng Yuqing quickly smiled apologetically.

Although Ji Xiang looked somewhat mature for his age, it didn't really matter; at most, it gave him a feeling that he was sure to win.

Feng Yuqing thought to herself.

Yes, it's that feeling of certain victory. But that's all; it doesn't really convey any sense of authority.

What Feng Yuqing couldn't understand was why the old expert on the other end of the video was so obedient and honest, not daring to wipe away the sweat and blood on his head.

The "gaze of a senior doctor" is effective for doctors, but its effectiveness decreases exponentially for "ordinary people" like Feng Yuqing.

Therefore, Song Yuqing simply cannot understand the pressure that the old expert is under.

"Travel history? Parasites?" the old expert murmured.

「免疫萤光显示C3（3+）、Lambda（2+）、IgM（1+）、C1q（+/-）。

Immune complexes were observed in the perimetrial, mesangial, and subepithelial regions. These biopsy features are consistent with infection-associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.

"I think you made the diagnosis based on these tests."

"Yes, yes, boss." The old expert nodded quickly.

"That's bullshit! I'm asking you, whether it's blood tests or kidney biopsies, they all point to an infection as the cause of this patient's illness, but where is the infection site?" Ji Xiang said sternly again.

Ji Xiang was so embarrassed... The system NPCs were really fond of swearing when they were young, and some of their words were really hurtful.

It seems this skill really should be used sparingly.

Next time, definitely!

"..."

Feng Yuqing's eyes sparkled with countless little stars.

That's so damn cool!

Ji Xiang is just so damn handsome!!

Standing here, even the veteran experts in Shanghai, thousands of miles away, didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Moreover, he wasn't using anything else to intimidate people; Ji Xiang was using professional terminology.

Showing off in someone else's area of ​​expertise is simply perfect!

Her gaze towards Ji Xiang gradually softened, transforming into a tranquil stream with rippling blue waves.

It ripples and sways.

Over the next ten minutes, Ji Xiang explained the concept of the system NPC to the senior expert.

Well-reasoned and logically rigorous.

The old expert nodded repeatedly, becoming more and more convinced as the discussion progressed; he even seemed to want to kneel down and listen.

"Is your cardiac interventional surgery performed outside the heart or inside the circulatory system?" Ji Xiang asked finally.

"It's done in the cardiology department."

clap~~~

Ji Xiang slammed his fist on the table.

The old expert jumped back as if he had been slapped in the face, like a startled rabbit.

"Useless!" Ji Xiang cursed, not even knowing why he was so angry.

"We had a cardiac surgeon and a cardiac surgeon perform catheterization to remove the cardiac vegetation. Then we screened the tissue around the catheter for pathogens."

"It is highly likely that it is Bartonella positive."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Please repeat it."

The old expert obediently repeated what Ji Xiang had just said.

Ji Xiang was quite satisfied.

It was just a diagnostic process, and the senior expert's skill level was extremely high. He understood it immediately, unlike a junior doctor who didn't even know that Bartonella was positive.

"Alright, the patient will go to Shanghai. You should expedite the examinations and confirm the diagnosis. Let me know if you have any updates."

After saying that, Ji Xiang hung up the video call.

The room was completely silent.
