392 Shuffling
“What he means is that this isn’t just our family’s responsibility. Mr. Pei also said that it’s closely related to the entire northern region’s medical association. In that case, the others naturally can’t stay out of it.”
Sun Ruxing lowered his head. His attitude was still humble and polite, but his words made Sun Yunzhong stop in his tracks. Then, he turned around and looked at him with bright eyes. “Yes! You’re right!
Since we’re doomed, we have to get them to suffer together with us!
“Arrange for someone to inform the other medical centers in the medical association and get them to find all the doctors in the city. Tell them that Mr. Pei wants the entire medical association to deal with this matter!
If they don’t handle it well and Pauling Medical Center closes down in three days, the other medical centers won’t be able to continue to operate either!”
Previously, when they wanted to deal with Lin Suisui’s medical center, Rejuvenation Hall, everyone had a share, so why should the Sun family take the blame now?
There was no way they could stay out of this!
The trouble at the various medical centers in Cloud Mountain City didn’t affect Lin Sui. As she administered acupuncture to one of the merchants who was still unconscious, she listened to Doctor Luo report the situation outside today.
“It’s time to teach this medical association a lesson.” Lin Suisui put away the silver needles and stood up to wash her hands as she said to Doctor Luo in a low voice, “Do you know how much throat medicine, which costs ten copper coins, is sold for in other shops?”
“It’s sold for at least 30 copper coins. Pauling Medical Center sells it at the highest price. It’s said to be an ancestral secret recipe and costs more than 50 copper coins.” Doctor Luo frowned. Upon thinking of the high prices, he couldn’t sympathize with his peers anymore.
“Actually, the medicine in the northern region wasn’t that expensive in the beginning.
After General Gao came over to take over the northern region’s affairs, the prices of many things in Cloud Mountain City began to increase. After the medical association passed into the Sun family’s hands, the price of medicine doubled.”
The Sun family had controlled the medical association all these years and controlled the price of medicine in the entire northern region, so they earned a lot of profit.
Only medical centers and pharmacies that followed the Sun family’s lead could operate in the northern region. If they were dissatisfied, the Sun family would take revenge on them and they would have no choice but to close down.
At first, Doctor Luo was rejected because Rejuvenation Hall didn’t pay the Sun family the fee to enter the medical association. Later on, because Rejuvenation Hall’s medicine was cheaper than that of the other shops in the medical association, the Sun family became even more envious.
Most importantly, the medical center had its own way of purchasing herbs, so the Sun family’s plan to cut off their supply failed. They thought of other ways to suppress the medical center but didn’t expect to encounter such a huge obstacle right from the beginning.
“Actually, after I came to Cloud Mountain City early in the morning, I went to the medical center in the city in private to check.” Lin Suisui nodded in agreement with Doctor Luo. “At that time, I felt that the medicine and the consultation fee were expensive, but I didn’t think too much about it. Now, it seems that the medical centers in Cloud Mountain City are quite corrupt!
If they can turn over a new leaf and manage their medical centers in a legitimate manner, it’s not impossible to give them a chance to repent. If they refuse to change their ways, they can’t blame us for not giving them a way out.
After all, having one more quack like this is an additional disaster for those people who are seeking treatment!”
Lin Suisui was actually talking to Lu Ze about how the medical association had sent people to cause trouble for the Rejuvenation Hall, so she wanted to make some adjustments to the medical association in Cloud Mountain City.
Initially, she didn’t think too much about it when she saw that the medical center was doing well every day. Later on, after Doctor Luo reminded her and explained, she realized that the reason these commoners chose to come all the way to visit their medical center was that they could only afford their medical center’s medical fees now.
Therefore, after discussing it with Lu Ze, Lin Suisui decided to start with this matter. She would chase out all the quacks in the medical association of the northern region so that new doctors who could actually treat people could come over and change the medical association in the northern region.
“But I heard that they’ve already gathered all the doctors and intermediates from all the medical centers in North Mountain City. They’ve even invited doctors without borders and alchemists. If they really think of a way to wake that merchant up, then…”
Doctor Luo was still a little uneasy.
After all, many things in this world were difficult to predict. If someone really had the ability to wake up that patient, wouldn’t all their plans be in vain?
“It’s not that I look down on the Sun family and those people from the medical association, but they don’t dare to give it a try.” After Lin Suisui finished writing the prescription in her hand, she said, “Actually, if they dare to try, there will actually be hope.
However, those people were afraid of messing up, so no one dared to give it a try.
After all, in their opinion, if they couldn’t wake the patient up, they would at most be punished. According to what they had experienced previously, they probably still wanted to settle this matter with money!
However, if they tried to treat this patient but failed, the consequences would be dire!
Therefore, they must be discussing it fervently, but no one dares to actually write a prescription!”
This was the reason Lin Suisui had asked Lu Ze to arrange for someone to go to the Sun family’s medical center.
Actually, if anyone dared to take responsibility and give it a try, it wasn’t impossible for the medical association to escape from the current predicament. However, those people were already used to taking advantage of various situations. If they really had to stand up and take responsibility, they all acted like cowards.
“But why are you so sure that they will come looking for us again in the next two days?” Doctor Luo could understand Lin Sui’s guess, but he couldn’t understand why Lin Suisui said that those people would beg their medical center in the end.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures. At this moment, there should be smart people who can guess the relationship between the government and our medical center.
In order to avoid trouble, they might come over and beg us.” Lin Suisui handed the prescription to Doctor Luo. “Try this prescription again. I’ve made some minor adjustments. Let them drink two more doses tomorrow.”
