I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 98 - 81: Practicing Medicine? Who Said I Was Practicing Medicine? (Part 3)
Li Daoqing, who was sleeping on the second floor, vaguely felt some noise. When he woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he vaguely heard the sounds of a lot of people gathering downstairs.
Instantly, Li Daoqing’s drowsiness disappeared, and he couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
Ha, it’s working!
He immediately got out of bed, without even putting on slippers, and stealthily pulled back the curtain a little to take a look downstairs through the window.
But what he saw immediately froze his smile.
What’s going on here?
Li Daoqing saw Lu Jiu setting up tables and chairs at his doorway, with a banner behind him that boldly read, "Nothing to do today, challenge the ring, let’s see whose treatment is quicker."
Blocking my door?
Isn’t this courting disaster?
Doesn’t he know this is illegal medical practice?
Li Daoqing suddenly snickered, he felt Lu Jiu was a bit foolish.
After the medical center was checked, instead of figuring out the procedure, he actually came to do illegal medical practice outside my clinic.
Thinking of such an idiotic move, Li Daoqing couldn’t help but laugh.
Now, with just a call to the Health Commission, Lu Jiu would have to pack up and leave immediately.
But suddenly, Li Daoqing found that doing so would be too boring.
He really wanted to see how smug Lu Jiu would look in front of him, and when he showed a face thinking he was going to defeat him, he would then call the Health Commission, making the scene much more interesting.
With this in mind, Li Daoqing happily washed up and dressed, then went downstairs.
Swish~~
The rolling shutter door was pushed up, and Li Daoqing appeared before everyone in a white coat.
Many people turned their heads when they saw him.
But Lu Jiu remained the same, continuing to educate patients on public health knowledge, not even glancing in Li Daoqing’s direction.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Li Daoqing stepped forward to question Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu then turned his head to look at Li Daoqing, "Do you need something?"
Li Daoqing replied expressionlessly, "What’s with ’do I need something’? You’re the one with a problem. This is my clinic, you’re affecting my regular business, I’m telling you to leave immediately."
Lu Jiu said, "Am I in your clinic? No, right? So since I’m not, and I’m in a public space, what right do you have to make me leave?"
Li Daoqing laughed, "You really want to make this unpleasant, don’t you?"
"Fine, since everyone is here, let me explain a common understanding. According to a provision in the ’Physician Practice... Regulations’, a physician must practice at their registered practice location, which refers to their medical, prevention, health care institution and its registered address. Therefore, practicing outside one’s registered location is illegal activity."
"He’s practicing medicine in front of my clinic now, which is already illegal practice. I kindly advised him as a fellow professional out of good intentions, but now that he refuses to leave, I won’t be blamed for acting tough after being polite."
This is illegal medical practice!?
Many people didn’t know these regulations and naturally didn’t understand the details.
Now hearing Li Daoqing like this, they too realized the seriousness of Lu Jiu’s actions.
Illegal activities seem to result in jail time, right?
After speaking, Li Daoqing looked at Lu Jiu again, however, to his surprise, Lu Jiu didn’t seem afraid at all, instead, he laughed even more happily after he finished speaking.
"Practicing medicine? Who’s practicing medicine? Have you seen me with a diagnosis certificate or prescribing medication, or using treatment methods? If you’re talking about legality, you have to provide evidence. Without basis, how can you define me as practicing illegally?" Lu Jiu laughed.
Lu Jiu’s move wasn’t exactly brilliant, it was quite reckless, but it worked because he left no verbal evidence nor any substantive proof.
Since the other party was playing the game of legal procedures, he could also exploit procedural loopholes.
Illegal medical practice isn’t that easily defined; it’s not like if someone reports you for illegal practice, the court will directly rule you guilty of it.
Criminal cases need a chain of concrete evidence; if there’s no evidence, they can’t even proceed with prosecution.
Did they really think Lu Jiu could be intimidated so easily?
Li Daoqing frowned, "You’ve got tables and chairs set up, even taking people’s pulses, with a banner behind you mentioning treatment efficacy, if this isn’t illegal practice, what is it?"
Lu Jiu laughed, "Doctor, you can’t speak like that. I’m not acting as a doctor now; how can there be illegal practice? These are just gimmicks; who stipulated that you can’t hang such banners on the street? If you really insist on saying I’m in illegal practice, then provide the evidence, otherwise, I might sue you for slander. For the moment, I’m just a small health educator, giving people an insight into traditional Chinese medicine’s health knowledge, making them understand how diseases originate and worsen, trying to help them solve it themselves at home, ideally getting sick less or never, and never coming to clinics for life. As for whether they believe me, that’s up to them, but as long as someone is willing to listen, I’m willing to speak. What? Can you control me, and control who the public wants to listen to!?"
With those words, an uncle suddenly shouted a compliment.
"Bravo!"
"Well said!"
"We like hearing this!"
"That’s what a doctor should be like!"
"Shh, it’s health educator, not doctor, where’s there a doctor?"
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, hehe!"
"..."
Seeing the crowd cheering, Li Daoqing’s face was livid.
He didn’t expect Lu Jiu to be so shameless, and he also noticed that there were really no diagnosis certificates, acupuncture or prescriptions on Lu Jiu’s table.
No wonder he was acting so recklessly; he clearly came prepared.
Could he know it was me who reported him?
Wen Xinyuan...
Impossible!
This does no good for Wen Xinyuan!
Just lucky?
Whatever!
Make the call first!
Li Daoqing immediately took out his phone and called the Health Commission staff. After learning that it would take them an hour to send someone over to investigate, he shot a warning look at Lu Jiu, then returned to his clinic to wait for them to come and drive Lu Jiu away.
Lu Jiu wasn’t worried at all; he continued to "educate" the people around.
A few minutes later, someone came to the Li Daoqing Clinic to see a doctor.
Lu Jiu, keen-eyed, immediately called out, "Hey, lady, do you have a fever, feeling a sore throat, tired all over, and especially in pain?"
The lady, about to enter the clinic, nodded mechanically after hearing Lu Jiu’s words.
"Come, let me explain what’s going on. I guarantee you’ll spend no money and just need to go home and adjust a bit, and you’ll be seventy to eighty percent better by the next day." Lu Jiu smiled.
"Really!?" The lady’s eyes lit up.
"If you don’t believe me, these uncles and aunties can testify, ask them," Lu Jiu fully exploited the crowd.
"Really, this young guy is amazing!"
"Indeed, he knew everything I did yesterday, just like a fortune teller, quite miraculous!"
"Come take a look, it won’t cost you a penny. If you go into the clinic for an IV and medicine, it would be at least one or two hundred, and you’d still be unwell for two or three days. Before this young guy’s medical center was checked, he specifically dealt with this, with fantastic results!"
"..."
With witnesses from the crowd, the lady immediately came over.
This scene made Li Daoqing even angrier.
Damn it, not only are you not making any money, but you’re also poaching my business!?
