Chapter 2743: with translation of chapter title
2645.2544 slap in the face (Alliance Leader rest in peace fennel extra update 4)
"In 2014, a study of 20,000 people followed for up to 35 years published by the Copenhagen Heart Study showed that among Frank Sign patients, 60% had coronary heart disease." Zheng Ren said, "But it's merely a possible sign; it is absolutely not the case that all Frank Sign patients have coronary heart disease."
"Then you..." Su Yun still felt doubtful; he always felt that the boss's evidence chain for today's actions was insufficient.
But after saying only two words he paused, then he softly sighed. Because his own Boss had already said this twice, being doubtful and pursuing further would be pointless.
"In clinical work, Frank Sign has no special significance; randomly find a positive patient and tell him to get a 64-slice CT, and he might sue." Zheng Ren said, "But one should always know."
Su Yun felt somewhat discouraged.
Unlike Zhao Wenhua, Su Yun had once been hailed as the rising star of Di Du's thoracic surgery; coronary heart disease used to be one of the pillar surgeries of thoracic medicine. Not noticing Master Xiao's Frank Sign at first glance, Su Yun felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Not noticing it himself was fine; the key was that the Boss had noticed it, and Su Yun clearly felt the gap in his mind.
"Zheng...... Lao Ban, this meaning is quite big." Zhao Wenhua pondered a moment, then immediately said.
"Of course it's significant; if you pay attention to health indicators, you can avoid many gaps. A few years ago, an artist who had just joined a variety show suddenly fell ill with heart disease. Later a tragedy occurred, and a doctor looking at his old photos discovered Frank Sign." Zheng Ren said, "Still that saying: Frank Sign cannot be confirmed as coronary heart disease, but one should always check to know."
"Yes, but the resolution needs to be enlarged to see clearly. Usually when watching TV dramas or variety shows, no one stares at the ears, right?" Su Yun, who hadn't drunk alcohol, played with the wine cup in his hand and said offhandedly.
"I think it's still meaningful." Zheng Ren laughed: "For example today, Master Xiao was startled, frightened, and angered, then quickly walked away and had an attack."
"Boss, aren't you afraid he really died?" Su Yun asked.
"We're in the city centre; we have emergency rescue service, how could he die? Besides, he's never had an attack before, he could last half an hour. When the ambulance arrives, sublingual nitroglycerin is enough." Zheng Ren said, "I just want to see his embarrassed state, to see how the master who strikes the meridians faces coronary heart disease."
"Besides, don't we have to take that poison he speaks of?" Su Yun chuckled, "A few years ago, a health master who claimed that rice was the poison in modern Chinese people's diet and the key to producing various modern diseases died at age 51."
"Nonsense, the key is to make it sound convincing." Zheng Ren said, "If people believe it, naturally they'll send money. Being able to swindle people with just a mouth is also a talent."
That person said eliminating toxins means eating no solid food at all, drinking only eight cups of juiced celery, carrot, cucumber, and other vegetable and fruit juice each day. He also claimed that drinking it for five to seven days would improve some chronic diseases, making it hard to get sick again in this lifetime.
"From a money-making perspective, its operability is not as good as striking the meridians." Zheng Ren said, "If I...... uh......"
"You, what are you preparing to do?" Su Yun asked, raising his head.
"I'll just expose him." Zheng Ren laughed.
"Tch, you're just pretending." Su Yun said, "Song Ying, has the person been sent away?"
"Just now the news came in that the swindler has already been lifted onto the ambulance, given sublingual nitroglycerin." Song Ying laughed, "Sun Zeli is currently tracking the interview, reporting in passing. I've said hello at the station; news will come out soon."
Zheng Ren smiled, "Thanks."
"Hey, isn't this supposed to be?" Song Ying said, "Without saying anything else, if someone deceives me and I don't do something, others will think I'm easy to bully. We don't bully people, but we can't let people bully us either."
"That's true." Su Yun said, "But doing that isn't as satisfying as giving him a beating. I spent the whole night thinking about how to slap him in the face, but the boss chickened out at the crucial moment."
"You're a Nobel Prize laureate; can't you maintain your dignity?" Zheng Ren said solemnly, "Beating him won't change the fact that he wants to deceive; it might even backfire, perhaps even more people could be deceived."
"Boss, not pretending to be mystical is truly a waste." Su Yun said, "With your honest, simple face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, if you were a bit older with grayish-white hair, absolutely everyone would believe whatever you said."
"Don't talk nonsense." Zheng Ren said disdainfully.
"You say after he wakes up he won't want to go to the hospital?" Su Yun asked.
"Hey, that health master you mentioned refuses to go to the hospital, induces vomiting himself, and dies suddenly a few days later." Zheng Ren said, "They put themselves in opposition to the hospital, fearful that before entering the hospital, their publicity... the constructed image would collapse."
"This time Master Xiao is the same; do you think he's in unbearable pain, or what?"
Zheng Ren shook his head; the rest, he didn't want to bother with. Promoting that sick people shouldn't go to the hospital; apart from infectious and acute illnesses, don't trust hospitals; among those who go to the hospital, few survive, and it's unknown whether they'd use their lives to practice what they preach.
In short, this matter has turned into quite a slap in the face, and Zheng Ren feels somewhat pleased.
"Zheng Lao Ban, sent to the Medical University Affiliated Hospital." Song Ying laughed, "Media already prepared to release news tomorrow morning; press release, could you glance over it?"
"No." Zheng Ren shook his head, feeling that doing this had a hint of being a behind-the-scenes mastermind.
"Well, avoidance of suspicion is fine, after all you've shaken hands with him." Song Ying gave a hehe laugh, letting this matter go; regardless of any information received, he would no longer report to Zheng Ren. Handling things himself is enough; no need to bother Zheng Lao Ban.
This person is well-informed and tactful; Zheng Ren praises him greatly.
"Zheng Lao Ban, my spouse recently attended a bigu study class; it's similar content." Song Ying, somewhat helpless, turned the topic to this.
"False." Zheng Ren said firmly, "In the 1990s, the most famous bigu advocate, Alan Griffith, claimed on a live TV broadcast that he could persist in fasting for one week. But after 48 hours, he exhibited blood pressure increase and dehydration; on the fourth day, his pupils dilated, and finally he could only terminate the experiment."
"If one truly followed their advice, Alan Griffith would be the typical case. But surely it can't be done; normal people can't do it either. Then guilt psychology would occupy the inner mind; they wouldn't think the fault lies with bigu therapy, but blame themselves, believing their willpower is insufficient." Su Yun added.
"Yeah, Su Yun is right. Moreover, these people clearly haven't gotten the desired effect, yet some will even fight to the death to defend this theory, stemming from remorse psychology. People, after all, are quite strange."
