Chapter 1432 You Are Just Jealous of Me
Ye Bufan said calmly, "You're not mistaken. This is a Chinese medicine clinic run by a Huaxia person. It's free for Huaxia people, but it costs 100 usd for M Country citizens. You can choose whether to be treated or not."
The Eyeglasses Man shouted, "You… you're just jealous of me! Jealous that I can become an M Country citizen!"
"I'm jealous of you?" Ye Bufan chuckled disdainfully, "Sorry, you're overthinking it. There's really nothing about you for me to be jealous of.
As a Huaxia person, I am proud. I have never thought of becoming an M Country citizen, nor will I be jealous of you in the slightest."
The Eyeglasses Man shouted in exasperation, "M Country is the greatest country in the world! People like you are just jealous of me!"
"The greatest country?" Ye Bufan shook his head, "If that's the case, then why don't you go to a hospital in the greatest country for treatment? Why do you insist on coming to our Chinese medicine clinic?"
"I…"
The Eyeglasses Man opened his mouth but said nothing.
"If I'm not mistaken, you've probably already been to the hospital. It's just that Western medicine isn't good at treating facial paralysis caused by this kind of stroke. The treatment takes a long time and the results aren't good, and most importantly, the cost is extremely high."
Ye Bufan said this, then turned to look at Alice: "How much does it cost to treat this condition where you are?"
Alice said, "In our Western medicine theoretical System, we believe that this condition of facial paralysis is caused by a viral infection of the facial nerves, leading to nerve swelling. The treatment takes a relatively long time and the cost is also relatively high, approximately between 20,000 and 50,000 usd."
Ye Bufan glanced at the Eyeglasses Man playfully: "This kind of facial paralysis caused by your stroke can be cured with just a few acupuncture needles here, and the total cost of treatment is 200 usd.
Of course, I think that for special talents like you who go to M Country, Chinese medicine might not be worthy of your status. You should choose the medical System of the greatest country. Spending a little more money is nothing, don't you agree?"
"I…"
The Eyeglasses Man was speechless again. Just as Ye Bufan said, he had just come from the hospital, where the medical expenses were frighteningly high, which is why he ran to the Chinese medicine clinic.
"I don't want to hear all that. I just know that Medical skill has no borders. I am the patient and you are the doctor, so you should treat me equally, and not discriminate."
"Treat equally, Medical skill has no borders?" Ye Bufan looked at him intently and said, "You've been in M Country for so many years, so you must know (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) how big the difference is between the price of Western medicine here and in Huaxia.
Have you ever reported to the relevant departments in M Country that Medical skill has no borders and that the prices of medicines should be unified between the two sides?
I don't even need to ask, I know you not only didn't do that, but on the contrary, you were smug about being able to become an M Country person and buy low-priced medicines."
At this point, he shook his head: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Pay for the treatment, or leave if you don't want it."
Some people are just like this. They think it's reasonable for a hospital in M Country to charge 50,000 usd, but they think 200 usd at a Chinese medicine clinic is too expensive, wishing you would treat them for free.
"I…"
The Eyeglasses Man swallowed and said, "Little brother, actually, it's okay for you to discriminate. You can just charge real M Country people more money.
But I'm a Huaxia person! We're all descendants of Yan and Huang, you should treat me for free."
Ye Bufan was about to leave, but stopped when he heard this.
"You said you're a Huaxia person?"
The Eyeglasses Man said righteously, "That's right. Although I've become an M Country citizen, I still have yellow skin and black eyes, and I'm still a Huaxia person."
At this moment, Ye Bufan's gaze instantly became sharp.
"You were indeed a Huaxia person, enjoying the welfare of Huaxia, enjoying the best educational resources of Huaxia, and ultimately Huaxia cultivated you into an excellent talent.
As a result, you showed no gratitude, no desire to repay, and turned around to join another nationality, even gloating about it. How dare you still claim to be a Huaxia person?"
The Eyeglasses Man's expression froze, then he argued eloquently, "Narrow-minded! What do you know? Although I've joined M Country nationality, I am still patriotic."
"When you joined M Country, you swore an oath under their flag, didn't you? What was the oath? Let me review it with you now.
'I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic…'"
After speaking, he looked at the Eyeglasses Man sharply: "You are a top student from university. What does this oath represent? Do I still need to explain it to you?
From the moment you took the oath, you have already abandoned your citizenship and loyalty to Huaxia. If a war breaks out between the two countries, you will not hesitate to take up arms against your own motherland, against your former compatriots, against the land that gave birth to and raised you. (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Is this what you call patriotism?
If you still insist on saying that, then we in Huaxia have a very apt term to describe you, and that is a traitor and a running dog!"
"You…"
The Eyeglasses Man's face turned beet red. He wanted to turn and leave, but thinking of the expensive medical fees at the hospital, he ultimately held back.
"Isn't it just 200 yuan? Why so much nonsense? Hurry up and treat me."
He said, taking out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and slapping them on the table.
Ye Bufan shook his head. He was really too lazy to deal with such people. There are more and more of these refined egoists now, who consume a large amount of national resources, but ultimately run off to serve others.
The most crucial thing is that they are self-righteous and think they are right.
Cao Xinghua led the Eyeglasses Man aside. This simple stroke was simply too easy for Chinese medicine masters like them. After twenty-odd minutes of acupuncture, his facial features completely returned to normal.
The Eyeglasses Man looked in the mirror and found that he had completely recovered. Without any gratitude, he instead glared at Ye Bufan with venom in his eyes, then left the clinic.
"My God, what is this person thinking?"
Alicia said indignantly, "I really don't understand. A disease that would cost tens of thousands of usd at a hospital was cured here in a short while, and it only cost 200 usd. Why isn't he happy? Shouldn't he say thank you?"
"Don't mind him. People like him don't know what gratitude is."
Ye Bufan shook his head helplessly. If a person can betray the country that gave him life and raised him, how could he be grateful to a doctor!
In their eyes, everything they get is taken for granted, and the consultation fee you charge is unreasonable.
Alice, speaking purely from a doctor's perspective, said excitedly, "Dear teacher, Chinese medicine is simply amazing! It cured his facial paralysis so quickly."
Next, patients came one after another. A white middle-aged man in his forties walked in, his face full of pain.
He first asked about the price, and finally paid the 100 usd consultation fee and entered the clinic.
At this moment, he was the only patient in the room. His gaze swept around and finally landed on Ye Bufan.
Due to cultural differences, there is no concept here that the older the Chinese medicine doctor, the more valuable he is. On the contrary, he felt that someone too old might be less trustworthy.
