Chapter 745: It Is Indeed So

"Chen Lao, Dingning Shuansai is generally divided into dry and oily types."

Ji Xiang wanted to explain this to the Family Member, but Chen Lao waved his hand impatiently, cutting Ji Xiang off.

Bai Chuzhang pulled Ji Xiang to the side, signaling for him not to speak.

People like Chen Lao have particularly stubborn tempers.

Especially when they have seen countless hospitals and their loved one's condition still hasn't been diagnosed, the Family Member's mood is irritated to the Extreme Point.

Therefore, Chen Lao had no patience at all to listen to Ji Xiang's explanation.

Ji Xiang scratched his head; he did not resent Chen Lao's irritability, as he could sense that mood without even needing to use Empathy.

Let the facts speak for themselves.

Chen Lao, with a gloomy face, slapped away the hand of Bai Chuzhang, who had wanted to push the wheelchair to take the Patient for an examination.

He pushed the little Patient to the Otolaryngology Department himself.

Dean Shen was distressed, and he glared fiercely at Ji Xiang.

Upon arriving at the Otolaryngology Department, the director had long since prepared various professional instruments, waiting to pick the ears.

Following the light, everything the operator saw could be seen on the screen.

Very quickly, a large piece of Dingning Shuansai with mottled yellowish colors appeared before their eyes.

The Otolaryngology Department director tried to gently touch it with the instrument in his hand.

"Cough, cough, cough~~~"

The Patient began to cough violently, giving the Otolaryngology Department director a fright.

"Hm?" Chen Lao hummed a tone with his nose in surprise.

It must be a coincidence, it must be a coincidence! Chen Lao immediately thought.

"Wait a moment." After the Otolaryngology Department director finished speaking, he began to drip medicine to moisten the Dingning Shuansai so he could proceed with the next step of the operation.

Not until Bai Chuzhang saw the Patient begin to cough the moment the Otolaryngology Department director's "ear pick" touched the Dingning Shuansai did a stone finally fall from his heart.

Although he still didn't quite understand why Dingning Shuansai could induce coughing, he didn't think what was happening before his eyes was a coincidence either.

"Xiao Ji, do you usually watch livestreams online?" Bai Chuzhang chatted quietly with Ji Xiang.

"I watch occasionally." Ji Xiang remembered that when he first used Empathy, he would lie on the bed in his spare time watching people trim donkey hooves; it was actually quite stress-relieving.

"Do you watch Doctor Zhao?"

"Is that the one who picks ears?" Ji Xiang asked in turn.

"Yes, it was extremely popular a few years ago, and I even followed his official account. All kinds of Dingning Shuansai; many people just love watching ear-picking, and he has countless fans." Bai Chuzhang smiled slightly, "I just can't understand the appeal."

"I prefer watching donkey hoof trimming."

"It's for stress relief; the pressure accumulated in daily life always needs an outlet."

Speaking of pressure, Ji Xiang suddenly remembered something.

"Bai Chuzhang, what happened to that Family Member of the Trisomy patient?"

"Nothing happened; I have the Medical Dispute Mediation Office under me, and there are professionals to chat with them," Bai Chuzhang said indifferently. "They can chat as much as they want, even for years."

"With the Tang Screening and amniocentesis both showing problems, what situation do you think it is?" Ji Xiang asked.

He asked as if casually, his tone extremely flat.

Ji Xiang was actually very curious about how Bai Chuzhang handled this matter.

Whether he would tell the Family Member the truth or not.

"You're overthinking it, Xiao Ji." Bai Chuzhang smiled and whispered to Ji Xiang, "We are only doctors, and we can only be doctors. The Family Member came to complain about the unreasonableness of the Tang Screening. So, we only address this specific examination."

Ji Xiang smiled; Bai Chuzhang had indeed become a master of the craft. He knew how to control the situation rather than rashly detonating it and bringing trouble upon himself.

Emmm, we are only doctors, and we can only be doctors.

Alright, that sounds just like a system NPC.

I wonder what that gossipy guy Shen Lang would do if he encountered a similar situation; Ji Xiang's thoughts suddenly flew to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang seemed to have even greater magic than Zhou Congwen; Ji Xiang had only seen him once during Empathy, yet he couldn't stop thinking about him.

"Cough, cough, cough~"

A series of coughs interrupted Ji Xiang's thoughts.

The Otolaryngology Department director operated again, but every time he touched the impacted Dingning Shuansai, the Patient would cough violently.

Chen Lao and Dean Shen didn't say a word, both of their brows furrowed tightly at the same time.

Could it be

That the little Patient's cough was really induced by the Dingning Shuansai?

Although it was unbelievable, he had seen with his own eyes on the screen that as soon as the "ear pick" touched the Dingning Shuansai, the Patient began to cough violently, an uncontrollable cough.

Once is a coincidence, but what about twice?

What about three times?

Plus, both Ji Xiang and that Lin Jiuze, who made people dizzy just looking at him, were adamant; it seemed they had already found the root of the illness.

The Otolaryngology Department director was a bit timid; he looked back at Dean Shen.

"Continue, go slowly, don't damage the eardrum," Chen Lao said in a low voice. "Thank you for your hard work."

"Uh... Chen Lao, you are too kind." The Otolaryngology Department director had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the operation.

Piece by piece, the Dingning Shuansai was carefully picked out.

Although the Patient coughed violently, the Otolaryngology Department director's skill was not bad; he gradually got used to the Patient's movements and successfully broke up the large piece of Dingning Shuansai, taking it out bit by bit.

It took nearly 40 minutes to completely clear the Dingning Shuansai impaction from both ears.

What was unbelievable was that as the Dingning Shuansai impaction was cleared, the Patient's cough became lighter and lighter.

By the time the Dingning Shuansai from both ears had been removed and the eardrums were visible, the Patient's cough had miraculously disappeared.

This...

This is too magical!

"Xiao Hua, how do you feel?" Chen Lao asked, somewhat nervously.

The Patient did not speak; after standing up, he shook his head from side to side and discovered there was no coughing; he felt he was better.

Before picking his ear, any similar movement would cause a cough.

At the time, both the Doctor and the Patient himself believed it was a cough induced by tracheal spasms caused by exercise.

But looking at it now, it should have been the earwax bumping against the external auditory canal wall when shaking his head, triggering a nerve reflex that caused the cough.

Chen Lao was not overjoyed; after all, it was only that he wasn't coughing at the moment. He pulled the Patient aside, asked about a few conditions, and then whispered with Dean Shen.

"Xiao Ji, thanks." Bai Chuzhang patted Ji Xiang on the shoulder with a smile, "You go get busy first, I'll find you when there's a conclusion."

"Alright."

"The luck is truly good." Bai Chuzhang turned around and muttered to himself.

Ji Xiang's hearing had been enhanced, so he heard that last muttered sentence from Bai Chuzhang very clearly.

But Ji Xiang did not know what it meant.

"Doctor Ji Xiang, I remember that old gentleman seemed to say that if he didn't cough, he would eat all the earwax."

Lin Jiuze was somewhat displeased.

Ji Xiang chuckled, "He was joking, he couldn't really eat it."

"He doesn't understand medicine, yet he's there spouting nonsense."

"You can't blame the Family Member either; after all, they've been seeking medical treatment for two years, all their patience has been worn away, so saying anything is normal." Ji Xiang said while walking back, "As long as the problem is solved, it's fine."

Lin Jiuze bit her lower lip, looking at Ji Xiang's back with some surprise.

He seemed to be speaking from the perspective of the Family Member, which was very strange.
