Chapter 365: Traditional Chinese Medicine vs Western Medicine (Part 1)

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Traditional Chinese Medicine vs Western Medicine (Part 1)

In order to win over An Xiaoke, Zhang Yang racked his brains.

Last time, when treating facial paralysis, he had lost to Long Fei and felt incredibly frustrated inside.

After Long Fei had agreed to a medical contest for treating tumors, Zhang Yang had spent a week preparing and had someone specially select two cases from the hospital records.

They were patients who couldn’t afford treatment, and today he was providing free consultations.

It wasn’t for any other reason but to defeat Long Fei.

This time, he even specially invited many experts from the hospital to serve as judges for the contest.

There were experts in Western medicine as well as leading authorities in Chinese medicine.

Since his intention was to make Chinese medicine look bad, naturally, he needed Chinese medicine practitioners to play along.

An Taiyan was among them; when Long Fei and An Xiaoke arrived, the place was already filled with people.

Upon seeing Long Fei and An Xiaoke, Zhang Yang immediately felt a surge of jealousy, unable to stop his eyes from reddening.

He regretted that the flower he had painstakingly nurtured had been plucked by Long Fei in the end; how could he swallow this grievance?

Zhang Yang regretted not having taken forceful measures with An Xiaoke back in their freshman year.

Back then, he’d always carried himself like a professor with impeccable attire.

Now, he realized that being a gentleman was simply not worth it.

The female student he had admired had, due to his late move, now become someone else’s.

He couldn’t describe how stifled this feeling of loss made him.

Amidst a crowd of onlooking nurses, Long Fei even ran into an acquaintance.

The moment she saw Long Fei, she immediately grabbed his hand, excitedly exclaiming, "Aren’t you Xu Dong’s elder brother?"

"Auntie, it’s you!"

Long Fei recognized her; it was Caicai’s mother.

He hadn’t expected her to work here.

Binhai City’s First Hospital was the best hospital in the city.

No wonder Caicai’s mother had high standards; working as a nurse here, her perspective was naturally higher.

She excitedly said to Long Fei, "Oh my, regarding last time, I was actually planning to talk to you about it! Why bring such valuable gifts when you come? Now I’m afraid of showing them off, in case people say I’m flaunting wealth!"

Long Fei paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what she was talking about.

She must be referring to the Jade Bracelet, probably having found out its price and was overjoyed.

Long Fei asked, "Then what do you think about Xu Dong and Caicai’s marriage?"

Caicai’s mother chuckled, "I agree, I have no issue with it. You should set a time soon to have both our families meet. Xu Dong is an honest kid, I actually like him a lot."

"Good, that’s great!"

Long Fei smiled, thinking to himself that the Jade Bracelet was truly a worthwhile gift.

But indeed it was valuable; when Caicai’s mother took it to the Jade Jewelry Store for appraisal, they evaluated it as being of glass type and even asked if she wanted to sell it, offering a price of one hundred thousand.

Caicai’s mother was no fool, realizing the item might be more expensive, she checked with several other stores.

As a result, each store quoted a higher price than the last.

The final store was even willing to pay five hundred thousand.

At that moment, Caicai’s mother nearly had a spike in blood pressure, feeling the need to hide the bracelet away for fear of thieves stealing it.

She was shocked at what kind of person Long Fei was, giving such a valuable gift so casually.

If Xu Dong had such a big brother, even if they had no money now, they surely wouldn’t be lacking in the future.

She had been planning to talk about this with her daughter and Xu Dong these past few days, and unexpectedly, she bumped into Long Fei here.

Curiously, she asked Long Fei, "Are you also here to watch the excitement?"

"Oh, yes!"

Long Fei nodded with a smile.

Caicai’s mother said, "Oh my, you aren’t someone from the medical field, are you?"

"Sort of!"

Long Fei gave a dry laugh, thinking to himself that this old lady sure loved to chat.

Probably because she had no one to talk to at home, she’d talk the ears off anyone she could catch.

Caicai’s mother said, "Then you’ve come to the right place. Today’s competition is really big news nationwide! Do you know that someone actually dared to challenge our hospital’s Director Zhang Yang? Moreover, they dared to compete with him in tumor surgery. This person clearly didn’t see that our Director Zhang Yang is an authority here. Within just three years, he has treated nearly a hundred tumor patients, if not a full hundred. After surgery, not a single one of them had a relapse or a failed case. I heard this person is a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, a TCM doctor coming to treat tumors, isn’t that a joke?"

Long Fei’s face was full of embarrassment as he repeatedly offered embarrassed laughter, "Right, right, what you’re saying makes sense, Auntie!"

Caicai’s mother pointed to a person in the field and said, "Look, all of Director Zhang Yang’s fans have come. He is only thirty-five years old and is already the ’diamond bachelor’ of our department. If it weren’t for the fact that he already has someone in his heart, I would want to introduce Caicai to him. What do you think his special someone looks like? Is she as pretty as my Caicai?"

Lines of embarrassment appeared on Long Fei’s forehead as he looked back at An Xiaoke.

An Xiaoke also wore a bitter face, thinking how their chatter had somehow dragged her into it as well.

She saw Long Fei chatting enthusiastically with Caicai’s mother, her face showing some surprise; she hadn’t expected Long Fei to be so popular with elderly women.

The other doctors present were all abuzz with talk. It wasn’t just experts from the first hospital who had come; many experts from other hospitals had also arrived.

They were all eager to see how Long Fei would use Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques to treat tumors.

Aside from surgery, they couldn’t imagine any other method.

The group of experts discussed animatedly; no one was optimistic about Long Fei’s prospects.

This competition had turned into a major conference between experts of Western and Chinese medicine.

The Western medicine experts were full of vigor, while the Chinese medicine experts were disheartened, feeling that Long Fei was being reckless.

Besides An Taiyan, no one had heard of Long Fei’s name.

They had all come today out of respect for An Taiyan; otherwise, they wouldn’t have put their reputations on the line for others to challenge.

Without needing to think about it, they knew they were going to lose this competition.

Sitting with their heads down and sipping tea, only An Taiyan looked composed and confident in Long Fei.

After all, Long Fei was his master!

In a moment, two patients in hospital gowns were wheeled up by nurses.

Both had just undergone complete physical examinations, X-rays, ultrasounds, blood pressure checks, and so on, with all their data contained in individual folders.

After reviewing the cases, the experts from both Western and Chinese medicine confirmed that the patients had benign tumors with similar conditions and then agreed to go forward with the competition.

This way, no matter which case Long Fei and Zhang Yang chose to treat, it would be relatively fair.

Long Fei glanced at the patients; both were women.

One of the girls, he actually recognized.

Wasn’t this girl Su Yiyi’s friend, Wang Xiaoyun?

Long Fei frowned and stared intently at the girl to confirm.

Over the time he had known Su Yiyi, she had never mentioned Wang Xiaoyun’s issue.

Could it be that she had developed a tumor?

The judges of the competition invited a spokesperson, who was the dean of their own hospital, Wang Mingli.

He spoke enthusiastically for a while, seizing the opportunity to promote the hospital’s charitable treatment this time as well as its medical standards.

They had even exaggeratedly invited a TV station to cover the event, hoping to use the competition to boost the hospital’s reputation.

If Zhang Yang won, they would broadcast extensively.

If he lost, they would just report about the charitable treatment, which wouldn’t cause any loss to the hospital.

Moreover, Dean Wang firmly believed in this deputy director of oncology who had returned from America.

He was so confident that while introducing the event in front of the camera, he didn’t even mention Long Fei’s name, only praising Zhang Yang.

Graduate of the Harvard Medical School, professor at Binhai Medical University, director of oncology.

Each title more impressive than the last, the patients’ family members present were all excited.

A crowd gazed at Zhang Yang with shining eyes, all hoping that their loved ones would be treated by him.
