Facing the cara and Li Yang, Dong Chen acknowledged the effectiveness of traditional Chinese dicine against cancer.
After saying this, he felt his face flush.
This was perhaps the first ti he had ever so publicly and positively affird traditional Chinese dicine.
But ultimately, he was unwilling to admit complete defeat.
His tone then shifted as he added, "But... we must still trust in science and the rigor of modern dicine.
Ai Shengbing’s case is, for now, an isolated incident. It cannot be taken as representative of all cancer patients.
Western dicine has a well-established system and rigorous clinical validation for cancer treatnt.
While traditional Chinese dicine has its unique strengths, its chanisms of action and the consistency of its therapeutic effects still require more in-depth scientific research and large-scale clinical trials for validation.
We cannot blindly exaggerate the role of traditional Chinese dicine, let alone abandon Western dical treatnts, just because of one special case."
Li Yang was very satisfied with the interview.
Although Dong Chen had his reservations, for soone who had been a staunch critic of traditional Chinese dicine, saying such a thing was no small feat.
This interview would undoubtedly make her report that much more compelling.
Soon, a follow-up report titled ’"Divine Physician" of Chinese dicine Works Another Miracle: Late-Stage Lung Cancer Tumor Shrinks! Western dicine Expert: Chinese dicine Is Indeed Effective, But Must Still Be Viewed Rationally!’ once again caused a sensation across the entire internet.
The report detailed the improvent in Ai Shengbing’s condition, as well as the test results from Northern Hospital.
What was most striking was that Dong Chen, a renowned expert in Western dicine, had personally admitted the efficacy of the Chinese dicine in treating Ai Shengbing’s condition, despite his reservations during the interview.
As soon as the report was published, it imdiately sparked a heated debate online.
"Oh my god, can late-stage lung cancer really be cured? The tumor actually shrank! This Dr. Li is practically an Immortal!"
"I thought it was just hype before, but now even an expert in Western dicine has admitted it. It seems traditional Chinese dicine is the real deal."
"That old hardhead Dong Chen, wasn’t he always trashing traditional Chinese dicine? He finally caved, hahaha."
"Professor Dong is right that we shouldn’t blindly exaggerate, but this news is truly uplifting. For cancer patients, any glimr of hope is a good thing."
"Traditional Chinese dicine is truly underrated. Dr. Li is a model for all its practitioners."
Even those who had been skeptical of Li Xu and traditional Chinese dicine began to have their doubts shaken.
Many people forwarded the report and left comnts, expressing their newfound appreciation for traditional Chinese dicine.
The old class group chat was also buzzing with excitent, as lively as if it were the New Year.
[Miaoli: Oh my god, the patient’s tumor actually shrank! @Li Xu, you’re incredible! This is a dical miracle!]
[Hu Qiming: I’m impressed. Truly impressed. I always thought there was no hope for late-stage lung cancer. I never expected Li Xu could actually do it. This is the kind of thing that will go down in the history books.]
[Lu Junwei: @Li Xu, you’re on your way to becoming a modern-day Bian Que! Even the Western dicine experts have to acknowledge your skills. Badass.]
[Li Baojie: I’ve heard about it at the hospital, too. A lot of my colleagues are talking about it. Li Xu, with this kind of fa, your na is probably going to be known all over the country.]
[Jiang Peng: I told you Li Xu was no ordinary person! He definitely had his own thods. So proud of him.]
Li Xu finally appeared: [It was partly luck. Plus, the patient is young and has a stronger immune system. If he had been older, I wouldn’t have been as confident.]
[Hu Qiming: That’s still incredible.]
Praise and astonishnt from everyone flooded in like a tidal wave.
Professor Gao Guanghui from the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine also saw the news report.
He called Li Xu.
"Li Xu, I saw the report! Excellent, excellent! You’ve really done traditional Chinese dicine proud."
Gao Guanghui’s voice was filled with unrestrained joy. "Congratulations! This is a truly major breakthrough."
"Thank you, Professor. It’s all thanks to your excellent guidance," Li Xu said humbly.
"Don’t be so modest. This is all your own skill," Gao Guanghui laughed. "By the way, put together a detailed file on the patient—all the lab reports, the dication plan, the changes after treatnt, everything—and send it to . I want to study it carefully and learn from it too."
"Of course, Professor. I’ll send it to you as soon as I have it all organized," Li Xu said.
...
Ai Shengbing’s case made Li Xu’s fa explode.
In an instant, Li Xu’s na was known throughout the country.
Major dia outlets scrambled to report on him, and invitations from talk shows and dical forums poured in.
So sharp-nosed pharmaceutical companies, like sharks that had caught the scent of blood, sward in.
So proposed collaborating with Li Xu to jointly research the Chinese dicine formula for treating cancer, hoping to comrcialize it and benefit more patients.
Others wanted to invite him to endorse their patent Chinese dicines, even offering him exorbitant fees to do so.
Still others, from dical forums to academic conferences, treated him as a guest of honor, hoping he would share his clinical experience and academic insights.
At the clinic, Song Sisi watched the endless stream of visitors and phone calls and teased, "Boss, you’re a real superstar now. I bet you could even be in the movies."
Li Xu smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "What superstar? I’m an internet celebrity at best. But look at those internet celebrities—they get famous fast, but they fall even faster. If I let this go to my head, my fall will be even more disastrous."
Li Xu knew in his heart that this sudden fa was a double-edged sword.
He didn’t want to be burdened by fa and fortune, and he certainly didn’t want to be put on a pedestal.
Because once he fell, the fall would be irreparable.
He just wanted to treat patients in peace and save those who truly needed help.
However, the effects of his fa were unavoidable.
A steady stream of cancer patients began arriving at the clinic, seeking his help, many of them in the late stages of the disease.
Li Xu was unable to treat them.
Because for many types of cancer, not even the System could provide a better treatnt plan.
Accepting their fate was the only thing they could do.
"Sisi, I’m going to the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine to see patients tomorrow, so you can have the day off," Li Xu said as he packed his things.
Song Sisi thought for a mont. "It’s too cold, and there’s nowhere to go for fun on a day off anyway. I’d rather just stay at the clinic. I feel like my massage techniques have been getting better and better lately. Once I’ve truly mastered massage, I want to learn acupuncture from you."
"No problem."
...
「Guanghe District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine, Consultation Room of the TCM Departnt.」
As a specially appointed consulting expert for the hospital, Li Xu held his clinic here every Friday.
That day, he arrived at the hospital early.
As he passed the internal dicine departnt’s office, he saw Miaoli organizing patient files.
"Good morning, Dr. Miao," Li Xu said with a smile.
"Well, if it isn’t our Divine Physician?"
"Oh, I must be blessed," Miaoli teased with a smile. "The Divine Physician himself is saying hello to ."
Li Xu was left speechless. "Alright, cut the nonsense."
Miaoli laughed. "The story about you curing that late-stage lung cancer patient has spread like wildfire through the hospital. So many doctors are talking about it."
Miaoli animatedly recounted all the gossip about Li Xu circulating in the hospital, her voice filled with pride.
In her eyes, Li Xu was her classmate, so when he was praised, she felt a sense of vicarious honor.
