499: Chapter 500 The dical Skill Dispute_1 499: Chapter 500 The dical Skill Dispute_1 Although Tom’s character wasn’t exactly comndable, his surgical skills were truly outstanding.
“Dr.
Tom, thank you for your trouble!”
The Fen Family Patriarch looked at Tom with a beaming smile.
“You’re welco!”
Tom smiled back and said, “After all, given your cordial invitation, I couldn’t refuse.
Besides, it’s a fact that the dical standard here is quite poor.
Had the Yang Family Patriarch’s illness occurred in Arica, he probably would have recovered by now.
It really isn’t wise to waste ti with the dical care in this country.”
“You are right, everything you say is correct.
It’s just that our Family Head is too busy with family affairs to spare any ti.
Please, trouble yourself to take a look.”
The Fen Family Patriarch was sowhat impatient with Tom’s words, but since he was asking for help, he naturally had to lower his attitude.
Whatever the other party said was right.
“Of course!”
Tom laughed and said, “In Arica, I won’t say I’m the best in surgery, but I am certainly first-class.
If I can’t cure the Yang Family Patriarch’s illness, I guess no one in Dragon Country can.
Eventually, you’ll still have to go to Arica.”
“Naturally, I have absolute faith!”
The Fen Family Patriarch said.
On the other side, Yang Fan also chuckled and said, “I’m truly lucky that Dr.
Tom could co from afar.”
He knew a bit about this Tom.
The man was indeed a genius, a dical genius.
He grew up in poverty and attended university on a scholarship.
Later, he was sent to study abroad by the governnt but chose to stay in Arica.
His character really wasn’t that great.
If he had spent his own money on studying abroad, he wouldn’t think this way.
“Since you trust , who is this old man?”
Tom suddenly glanced at an old man beside him, his face full of displeasure.
Yang Lin spoke coldly, “He’s not just any ordinary old man; he is Zhang Guowei, the renowned Divine Doctor of Tianhai City.
He is a true master of traditional dicine, known as the living Hua Tuo.
It wasn’t easy for to invite him over.
Naturally, the purpose is the sa, to treat the Family Head.”
Zhang Guowei was over sixty years old.
His hair and beard were all white.
Standing there, he really had the air of a hermit about him.
Tom scoffed, “A Divine Doctor?
The living Hua Tuo?
Hehe, are you fooling ghosts?
Traditional dicine is just a con, superstitious nonsense.
This old man is probably a scam artist as well.
I can’t believe you would actually invite a scam artist to treat an illness; it’s utterly ridiculous!”
Zhang Guowei smiled faintly and said, “Things you don’t understand are deed superstitious!
Things you don’t believe in are said to be scams!
Truly laughable!
Traditional Chinese dicine may be increasingly overlooked these years, but it has played a unique role in several major disasters.
What your Western dicine couldn’t achieve, our traditional dicine has.
How would you explain that?”
“Hmph, that’s rely a coincidence,” Tom said disdainfully.
“What about Yin Yang and qi, what about acupuncture points; are all these invisible, intangible things supposed to be scientific?
Tell , is this science?”
“What is science?”
Zhang Guowei said with a light smile, “What people call science is nothing more than theories inferred by humans based on their own experiences.
My view is simple.
Things that are useful in experience should be attempted and used, even if they’re not understood.
If it’s beneficial, that’s what counts.
After all, humans are neither God nor the Jade Emperor; they are not omniscient and omnipotent.
Should we abandon what we can’t fully research?
Should we deem things we don’t understand as superstition?
How is that any different from the ancients considering lightning as a punishnt from the gods?
If every ancient person feared fire and dared not use it, could humanity have developed to this day?
Theory is important, but experience is even more so!
All theories are deduced based on practical experience.”
“I won’t argue with you about this; scamrs are all talk.
Today, we’ll see the truth in action.
Whoever can cure the Yang Family Patriarch is the one that holds the truth!” Tom declared loudly.
“Although doctors do not advocate betting, since you’ve said so today,
The old man, for the sake of the dignity of Chinese dicine, also wants to bet with you.
If I lose, I will leave the dical field forever.
If you lose, do you dare to do the sa as ?”
“What’s there to be afraid of!”
Dr.
Tom gritted his teeth.
Having made the statent, backing down now would be akin to admitting he’s inferior to Zhang Guowei.
That simply won’t do!
“Fine!
You’re older, so I’ll give you a chance to see how this old swindler treats the patient.
Yang Family Patriarch, please head to the dical room.”
Tom turned to Yang Fan and said.
Almost every third-tier or above family clan has their own dical room.
The equipnt inside is very comprehensive.
It’s there to prevent the situation where soone suddenly becos critically ill and there’s no ti to get to the hospital.
It’s specially prepared for that reason.
And each family clan has their own private doctors.
Their dical skills are extraordinary.
Once in the dical room.
Yang Fan lay down on the sickbed.
Zhang Guowei began to observe, listen, question, and feel the pulse.
He had to understand all the symptoms clearly before he could prescribe the right treatnt.
anwhile, Tom was looking at the docunts Yang Lin brought out.
There were test results, X-ray films, prescription records, and so on.
About ten minutes later.
The expressions on both their faces beca solemn.
Now they understood why Yang Fan’s illness couldn’t be cured.
Neither Zhang Guowei nor Tom could determine the cause of Yang Fan’s illness.
If the cause couldn’t be determined, how could it be treated?
If they couldn’t prescribe the accurate treatnt, that would be tantamount to harming the patient.
“There’s only one way left.
Apprentice, bring the needles!”
Since Zhang Guowei could not confirm the illness through observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-feeling, he had to resort to his exclusive thod.
His uniquely pioneered Silver Needle Exploration thod.
Based on the reactions of the silver needles at various acupoints, he could determine the cause of the illness.
It was just more troubleso.
So, he generally didn’t use it.
But Yang Fan’s condition was sowhat complicated, so he had no choice but to use it.
Xiao Chen stood to the side, watching silently.
He acknowledged Zhang Guowei’s profound dical skills.
But both Zhang Guowei and Tom were sowhat obstinate in their opinions.
In Xiao Chen’s view, there’s no such thing as Chinese dicine and Western dicine.
In his eyes, there is only dical skill, the art of healing.
As long as it could save lives, he didn’t care what thod was used.
He had studied Chinese dicine, Tibetan dicine, Western dicine, and even shamanistic healing.
Each type of dicine has its strengths.
Only by integrating the strengths of all could he find the most suitable thod.
Yang Fan’s illness couldn’t be solved by any single branch of dicine.
Both Zhang Guowei and Tom would end in failure today.
After about half an hour more.
Zhang Guowei put away all the silver needles, his eyebrows tightly knitted.
“I have identified his illness, let’s announce it together later.”
As he spoke, he sat down to one side, starting to research counterasures.
Tom scoffed, “Pretending to be profound is your specialty, soon I’ll show you whose abilities are stronger.
It’s just finding the cause of the illness.
What’s so difficult about that?
Nurse, go get these tests done, I need the latest diagnostic data!”
Western dicine relies more on the effects of dical equipnt when treating illnesses.
This is also the direction modern dicine is developing in.
Several tubes of blood were drawn, and a number of tests were conducted.
When all the test results were placed in front of Tom, he laughed.
Then he frowned again.
“It looks like you’ve also identified the illness, let’s announce it together.”
Zhang Guowei said.
“Alright!”
