Principal Yan furrowed his brow; he not only felt that this claim was absurd but also harbor so resentnt towards Chen Xiaorou for saying it. If she had to find a reason, she should have found a better one. To say Lin Tian had co to treat soone—no three-year-old child would believe that. A high school student, what makes him qualified?
Lai Xiucheng, hearing that Lin Tian was here to treat He ngxiang, thought he had heard wrong. But seeing Chen Xiaorou’s expression, which didn’t seem faked, he was stunned for a mont, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha..." Lai Xiucheng laughed as if he had heard the world’s funniest joke, laughing heartily.
His laughter even drew other girls over to watch the commotion, and as they noticed Lin Tian, the news spread, attracting more and more onlookers. Soon, the window and doorway were surrounded by people, but since Principal Yan was there, they didn’t dare enter.
"Why is that lecher Lao Lai laughing so arrogantly? What does he want to do?" a girl asked in a quiet voice.
"I don’t know; it’s definitely nothing good," another girl whispered in response.
"I vaguely heard this just now; it must be Senior Lin Tian going to treat that upperclassman, but Lao Lai looks down on Senior Lin Tian, so he started mocking him, that’s about what happened," a girl who might be from the neighboring dormitory explained quietly to the people around her.
"What, to dare to look down on Senior Lin Tian, that’s outrageous!" a younger student said indignantly.
"Exactly. I listened to Senior Lin Tian explain about weight loss downstairs just now and I thought it made a lot of sense," another younger student nodded and said.
Lai Xiucheng stopped laughing, glanced at the watching girls with a hint of a smile in his eyes. The more onlookers there were, the happier he was, as he wanted to humiliate Lin Tian in front of these girls who admired him.
Treat a patient? Lai Xiucheng sneered to himself, was that sothing a teenager could do?
"Doctor Lai, what are you laughing at!" Chen Xiaorou said with a frown and a displeased expression.
Lai Xiucheng glanced at Chen Xiaorou and chuckled, "I find it funny, so I laugh. What’s so strange about that?"
He turned back to Lin Tian and sneered, "A re student, speaking grandly of dical practice, ridiculous, ridiculous. It’s not that I look down on you, but as a student, you should stick to your studies. dicine is not sothing you’re qualified to ddle with."
How good Lin Tian’s dical skills were, Liu Wenxing knew best. That’s why he couldn’t stand others belittling Lin Tian and wanted to speak up for him, but Lin Tian pulled him back.
Lin Tian wasn’t angry; he simply said, "Doctor Lai, I know you practice Western dicine; I am just the opposite, having studied Huaxia dicine. Do you dare to pit yourself against this re student?"
"Huaxia dicine?" Lai Xiucheng said disdainfully, as if his face was clearly etched with contempt for Huaxia dicine.
"Lin Tian, I’ll assu for the mont that you know dical treatnt, but as for this Huaxia dicine, haha, does modern Huaxia dicine even exist? Huaxia dicine is dead; nowadays, it’s just about charlatans in Jianghu tricking people out of their money," Lai Xiucheng said lightly, full of scorn.
The mont he finished his words, it ignited everyone’s anger. If such a statent had co from a foreigner, it could be excused to so extent, as foreigners might not understand. But Lai Xiucheng, a native of Huaxia, belittling his own country’s dicine was unacceptable to everyone present.
"Doctor Lai, are you even a Huaxia person anymore, saying such forgetful and ungracious things!" A condemning voice ca from the girls watching.
"Exactly, don’t think just because you learned so Western dicine you can forget where you ca from. Without Huaxia dicine, you might not even be here!" more girls joined in the condemnation.
Lai Xiucheng laughed disdainfully and snorted, "Hmph, no matter how much you say, it’s useless. In the current dical world, whether Western dicine reigns supre or Huaxia dicine does, you all know very well. In modern hospitals, do you even see doctors of Huaxia dicine?"
"Even if there are Huaxia dical practitioners, what can they do? You go see a Huaxia doctor, and they actually tell you to get blood tests, have an ultrasound. They don’t even use Huaxia dicine’s thods of inspection like looking, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking; instead, they rely on Western dicine’s diagnostic tools before prescribing dicine. Is this still Huaxia dicine? Hmph, do you still need to say more?" Lai Xiucheng spoke loudly, overshadowing everyone’s voices of condemnation.
The girls wanted to rebut his words, but they didn’t know what to say; a group of them were rendered speechless by a single person, so they could only turn their gaze to Lin Tian, hoping that he would chastise this forgetful school doctor.
Lin Tian didn’t waste his breath on condemnation. Instead, he said with a mild smile, "All the things you’ve said are useless. Let’s put the horse to the test and see if it’s a mule or a horse."
"Heh, I hope you’re not setting yourself up for embarrassnt. I accept your challenge," Lai Xiucheng said confidently.
In his view, dical skills aren’t like school exams; just being good at studying doesn’t an good dical skills, and besides, Lai Xiucheng didn’t believe at all that a senior high school student could practice dicine.
"To treat illness, one must first be able to diagnose it. If you can’t even identify the source of the illness, how can you talk about treatnt? So let’s start with a diagnosis and determine what illness He ngxiang is suffering from before talking about treatnt," Lin Tian said calmly.
"This is common knowledge, you don’t need to remind ," Lai Xiucheng said dismissively.
Lin Tian ignored his arrogance and turned to He ngxiang, "He ngxiang, we still need your consent for this. If you nod, we’ll begin. If you’re not willing, there’s no need for us to continue this competition."
Lai Xiucheng mocked, "You’re friends, and to save your face, she’ll of course not agree so that you don’t get exposed."
"Doctor Lai, you’re the most disgraceful man I’ve ever t—no, you’re not a man at all, without a shred of decency. Ever since you ca in, Lin Tian never defended himself, unlike you, constantly babbling annoyingly. If you’re going to make a diagnosis, just start. I believe in Lin Tian," He ngxiang glanced at Lai Xiucheng with contempt.
Being called not a man by a girl in front of school leadership and so many female students, Lai Xiucheng’s face turned livid with anger. He very much wanted to lash out, but a cold look from Principal Yan silenced him.
"Lai Xiucheng, if you think I cannot practice dicine, that’s fine. But when we diagnose later, neither side is allowed to touch He ngxiang. We can only make our judgnt through observation and questioning to determine her condition. Do you dare to accept the first challenge?" Lin Tian provoked.
"No contact? Do you even understand Western dicine? How can I use a stethoscope without contact, how will I know her lung sounds, how will I know her heart rate, how can I check her temperature..." Lai Xiucheng furrowed his brow, protesting with a litany of reasons, thinking Lin Tian was playing a fool’s ga.
"We’re being fair; I will also not touch her, nor take her pulse. If you believe you can’t accept the challenge, admit defeat now and just wait for the school to issue your notice of discipline. There’s no need to waste everyone’s ti," Lin Tian said with disdain.
