Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1135 - 1095: Hiding Illness and Avoiding Treatment

Returning to the second-floor hall with Qin Gang, Lin Jie saw An Weize and An Kexin conversing with a woman who still possessed elegance despite her age and had a tasteful appearance."Ah Jie, is the situation serious?"

Facing An Kexin's inquiry, Lin Jie smiled slightly and replied vaguely, "The injuries are quite serious, but not life-threatening, and already on the way to the hospital."

At this moment, the middle-aged woman extended her hand to Lin Jie and introduced herself, "Hello, Expert Lin, I'm Liu Meiyi, the owner of Crown Holiday Hotel."

Lin Jie lightly shook her hand and politely said, "Hello, Ms. Liu!"

"I was just discussing the future management issues of Qushui Garden with Mr. An, President An."

Liu Meiyi asked with a smile, "Expert Lin, would you consider letting our hotel handle the management of Qushui Garden?"

"In this way, every time Expert Lin hosts academic exchanges here, you can entrust the activities arrangement and dining logistics to us, and you'll receive a handsome fee or profit-sharing annually!"

"Well..."

Lin Jie glanced at An Weize and An Kexin and saw no particular reaction from them, so he said, "I haven't really thought about the specific management issues of Qushui Garden."

"However, I will seriously consider your suggestion."

"Expert Lin, we are professionals in management and maintenance. If you have such intentions, please prioritize our Crown Holiday Hotel."

After saying this, Liu Meiyi politely took her leave without further discussion.

Lin Jie turned to An Weize and An Kexin and asked, "What do you think of Ms. Liu's proposal?"

An Weize softly said, "We've had a cooperative relationship with Crown Holiday Hotel for more than ten years, and it's always been good."

"As an established five-star hotel, in terms of dining, room service, and event organization, they are experienced and generally do a good job."

An Kexin reminded, "Ah Jie, there are two ways to cooperate."

"One way is to hand over the full management of Qushui Garden to Crown Holiday Hotel. They will certainly want to maximize its use, which allows us to collect fees or profit sharing."

"The other way is to treat Qushui Garden as our private garden, strictly restricting outsiders' access, hiring the hotel staff to manage the place, and serve our various activities."

"In this case, we would need to pay the hotel."

"Of course, we could also hire our own staff to handle the management and maintenance of Qushui Garden."

"Hiring our own staff?"

Lin Jie considered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "We don't currently have suitable personnel to handle this matter. I prefer outsourcing the service and maintenance of Qushui Garden!"

"As for whether to collect money or pay money, Kexin, what's your opinion?"

An Kexin hesitated for a while, playfully saying, "Ah Jie, this is somewhat difficult to decide."

"Treating it as a private garden feels great, but fencing off such a lovely Qushui Garden seems a bit unethical."

She thought of another point, saying gloomily, "It's predictable that if we fence it off, many people will come through various connections asking to borrow Qushui Garden for various activities."

"Refusing or not refusing will be a problem."

An Kexin decided, "Ah Jie, why not simply let the hotel operate it and also reserve a space for your medical salons."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Alright, then as per your suggestion, let Crown Holiday Hotel come up with an operation plan first, and we'll review it before making the final decision."

He then called Ling Mengjiao over and said, "Mengjiao, with Qushui Garden, you can move the studio here for work. Anlin Hospital is estimated to be remote and inconvenient for two or three years."

"The studio here can also facilitate organizing salon events."

Ling Mengjiao smiled happily, "Working at Qushui Garden, those guys will probably grin from ear to ear."

Lin Jie reminded, "Starting tomorrow, the usage rights of Qushui Garden will belong to us. Tomorrow, you and a few people go over and handle the handover with their staff."

"During the handover, if you find issues, as long as they're not major, let them go, don't be too serious."

Ling Mengjiao responded with a nod, saying, "Lin Jie, I will handle it properly."

"Expert Lin!"

"Expert Lin!"

At this time, several voices called out, and Lin Jie looked towards the source to see Tao Taqing, Fang Lianggong, and Dr. Qian, the president of the Chinese Medical Association Binhai Branch, escorting an energetic, sprightly elderly man in his seventies or eighties.

Lin Jie met the elderly man here for the first time.

He learned that the man was named Ma Yiming, a well-known calligrapher.

Li Ao'ge introduced him, also mentioning that Ma Yiming was the honorary president of the Binhai Calligraphy Association, and honorary vice president of the Qi Gong Association and Tai Chi Association.

The group approached, and Fang Lianggong first spoke, "Expert Lin, earlier Mr. Ma felt a bout of dizziness, and he says he's been experiencing occasional dizziness these past few days."

"I said it was a blood sugar issue, Dean Tao said it was a blood pressure issue, and Dr. Qian suggested it might be BPPV (ear stone disorder)."

"But Mr. Ma doesn't believe he has a physical issue, assuming the dizziness is merely due to aging and declining bodily functions."

"The four of us each have our own views. You're the authority, please act as the judge."

Lin Jie found it somewhat amusing.

These three are all experienced expert-level doctors, what is there to argue about?

Vertigo is an illusion of mobility or positioning caused by the body's difficulty in spatial orientation.

The causes of vertigo are certainly varied, such as cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, anemia, uremia, drug poisoning, endocrine disorders, and neurosis, etc.

Can the cause of vertigo be diagnosed purely from the patient's description and some external observations?

Even Lin Jie himself is unable to do that.

Just as he was about to suggest that the elderly gentleman should go to the hospital for a targeted examination, the elderly man's booming voice rang out: "Young Expert Lin, I have been practicing Qi Gong and Tai Chi consistently for decades, I can't even remember the last time I took medicine or got an injection, it must have been at least twenty years ago."

"So, I believe these three are talking nonsense, seeing something abnormal and thinking it means illness."

"I bet them that if any of them wins, they would get a piece of calligraphy written by me personally. If I win, each of them would owe me half a pound of good tea leaves."

He looked at Lin Jie with a smile and said, "Young Expert Lin, I trust you to be fair in your judgment."

Lin Jie spread his hands, saying, "Elderly gentleman, you overestimate me."

"Without any examination data for reference, and without examination tools, it's really difficult to determine the cause of your vertigo."

At this point, Tao Taqing called out, "Expert Lin, I have a set of stethoscope, blood pressure monitor and other tools in my car, why don't we fetch them and you can perform an examination on the elderly gentleman right here?"

Before Lin Jie could respond, a middle-aged man stepped forward, avoiding the elderly gentleman's gaze, and gave Lin Jie a meaningful look, saying, "Expert Lin, why don't I accompany you to fetch the examination tools?"

Seemingly there was more to it, Lin Jie chuckled and replied, "Alright!"

Lin Jie, Qin Gang, Tao Taqing, and the middle-aged man left the hall together.

Before descending the stairs, the middle-aged man stopped, turned, and clasped his hands in front of Lin Jie, saying, "Expert Lin, my father has had multiple instances of vertigo."

"We're all worried, but he's stubborn and refuses to go to the hospital for examinations."

He sighed, continuing, "Actually, we understand, my father avoids seeing the doctor because of fear. In the past six months, his two close friends went to the hospital for check-ups and unfortunately did not make it back."

"This time, we joked and coaxed him into being willing to accept your examination, Expert Lin."

Saying this, he bowed to Lin Jie in request, "Please, Expert Lin, take this opportunity to give my father a thorough examination."

Lin Jie felt his concern for the elderly gentleman and agreed, "No problem, I'll do my best to conduct a comprehensive examination with the available conditions."

The middle-aged man thanked, saying, "Thank you, Expert Lin!"

"You can wait here, I and Dean Tao will go down..."

A few minutes later, Lin Jie returned in front of the elderly gentleman and the others with a blood pressure monitor, stethoscope, digital thermometer, and small flashlight.

With just these four basic tools, how to conduct a thorough examination of the elderly gentleman's body?

Lin Jie couldn't help but admit that this was indeed a challenge.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Jie began measuring pulse and blood pressure.

Then, he examined the elderly gentleman's pupils, ears, tongue coating, followed by listening with the stethoscope to the heartbeat, abdominal sounds, carotid artery sounds...

Carotid artery sounds...

At that point, Lin Jie's expression became serious.

After listening carefully for a few seconds, Lin Jie removed the stethoscope, and heard the elderly gentleman urgently ask, "Young Expert Lin, is it time for me?"

Lin Jie laughed and said, "Elderly gentleman, don't scare yourself. According to my examination, your heart is beating strongly..."

"Stop... stop..."

The elderly gentleman interrupted Lin Jie with a wave of his hand, asking, "Young Expert Lin, just skip to the 'but' part."

"I know, you must have found something."

Lin Jie glanced at the middle-aged man standing beside the elderly gentleman and continued, "Elderly gentleman, I'll be direct. While listening to the blood flow in your carotid artery, I heard a faint noise."

"Such noise is usually caused by stenosis or obstruction of the aorta, leading to poor blood flow. This might be the reason for your brain's insufficient blood supply, causing the vertigo."

Seeing the elderly gentleman's heavy expression, Lin Jie comforted, "The noise is faint, indicating the stenosis or obstruction isn't severe. I suggest going to the hospital for further examination to identify the specific affected area for treatment."

"As it stands, this is not a major symptom..."

Right then, Lin Jie's cellphone rang.

He pulled it out to see it was Song Zexing calling.

Lin Jie apologized to the surrounding people, moved to a secluded place to answer the call, only to hear Song Zexing excitedly shout, "Expert Lin, we've confirmed it, it's that design map!"
