Chapter 0003: Living to such an age is akin to being a dog

All the authoritative figures in the medical field present turned their gaze towards Liu Huaidong, the intern doctor, along with Luo Zhenqiang and Qin Susu.

Even Luo Zhenqiang has taken this burden upon himself, so no matter how difficult Wang Guanglin tries to be, he can only brace himself and carefully consider his words, "If the young master only has multiple fractures as initially assessed, then with the combined efforts of several of our chief physicians, we should have over an 80% chance of successfully treating the young master"

After a brief pause, Liu Huaidong slowly spoke, "The struggle you just exhibited was so intense, was it due to difficulty in breathing leading to brain hypoxia?"

What? An eighty percent certainty

This left Wang Guanglin momentarily at a loss for words; once he answered this question, regardless of what answer he provided to Liu Huaidong, it would ultimately equate to undermining Chen Jiangping's face.

Nevertheless, Liu Huaidong is also an intern doctor at the First People's Hospital. Although he feels displeased with Chen Jiangping, upon introspection, he acknowledges that during his internship, Director Wang and several other seniors have treated him fairly well.

At that moment, Liu Huaidong observed the reactions of those people, but he directly ignored the responses of others and simply smiled at Chen Jiangping, saying, "Hehe, it's very simple. You just need to take a CT scan of the patient's lungs to find out."

Liu Huaidong paid no attention to the reactions of those around him; he simply bent down and brought his face close to Luo Gang's, smiling as he spoke

In that moment, Chen Jiangping felt as if his hand were caught in a vice, to the extent that even his bones were on the verge of being crushed by the force exerted by Liu Huaidong's grip

I have stored a breath in your dantian while simultaneously sealing your mute point, allowing you to refrain from breathing for a short period and preventing that breath from escaping due to speaking.

Liu Huaidong also nodded and said, "Previously, when you breathed, especially during inhalation, did you feel a sharp twisting pain in your lungs, as if someone were slicing your lungs with a blade?"

However, just as they were about to use high technology to verify Liu Huaidong's diagnosis, Liu Huaidong spoke again, "However, I estimate that given the patient's current condition, after being subjected to such a treatment by you, it is likely that the optimal treatment window will be missed."

At this moment, Luo Gang was still lying on the hospital bed, struggling for his life, much like a landlocked duck on the verge of drowning, desperately flailing in the river in an attempt to distance himself from death

Before his claws could reach Luo Gang, Liu Huaidong had already seized his wrist

Indeed, this issue is not very complicated to resolve. A simple CT scan will make all the results clear at a glance

Seeing the situation develop to this point, if everyone still does not understand the truth of the matter, then they truly are a bunch of fools

Seeing Luo Gang's desperate struggle and his confused state, no one believed he had the capacity to respond to the doctor's questions, not even his parents.

This ... ...

Faced with Qin Susu's verbal attacks, these esteemed figures in the medical community, who usually appear glorious and hold authoritative titles, at this moment can only lower their heads, daring to feel anger but not to speak out.

Currently, Liu Huaidong is also somewhat displeased with Qin Susu's repeated disparagement of the First People's Hospital, so he directly stepped forward and interrupted Qin Susu's scolding, saying, "Mr. Luo, Mrs. Luo, the current situation of your son is not as optimistic as you might think."

However, just as others were secretly pondering the truth of Liu Huaidong's words in their hearts and in the books, Chen Jiangping suddenly jumped out with an angry expression, pointing at Liu Huaidong and shouting: "Hmph, utter nonsense!"

Just as Chen Jiangping was about to once again create difficulties without knowing better, Luo Zhenqiang, who had been taciturn, suddenly pointed in surprise at Luo Gang on the hospital bed and exclaimed, "My son is no longer struggling!"

The audience present could not help but be taken aback upon hearing these words

Long before entering Ward 203, Liu Huaidong had already discerned the true issue with Luo Gang from the unnatural sound of his cough heard from a distance.

Indeed, as soon as these words were spoken, Qin Susu immediately fell silent

Before Luo Zhenqiang could speak, Chen Jiangping exclaimed as if he had eaten something unpleasant, "You little brat who hasn't even grown up yet, do you not think before you boast! You have an 80% certainty? Do you think we, the medical authorities, have lived to this age for nothing!"

In the next moment, everyone gasped in shock, staring at Luo Gang on the hospital bed.

In fact, there is another way to make you believe what I am saying, which is to directly ask the patient themselves

This statement drew everyone's attention to Luo Gang, and Chen Jiangping was no exception

I am eighty percent confident. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Huaidong immediately provided an answer without hesitation, "I am eighty percent confident that I can restore your son to full health. As for the remaining twenty percent... the worst outcome would only be that he cannot engage in intense physical activities in the future"

What basis do you have to prove that what you say is true? You are merely an intern, what audacity do you have to question the authority of our hospital's advanced equipment

Upon hearing that Liu Huaidong is merely an intern doctor, those in the ward who do not know him could not help but display a hint of disappointment in their eyes

Wang Guanglin could not help but glance at Chen Jiangping upon hearing this. In this department, Chen Jiangping was the legitimate director, a genuine authority in medical skills, while he was merely the deputy director.

Ask him

Luo Gang nodded gratefully at Liu Huaidong, and then Liu Huaidong continued, "Very well, from now on, I will ask the questions and you will answer, just like before, with a nod or shake of your head."

However, just when everyone considered Liu Huaidong's words to be mere nonsense, he suddenly pulled out a roll of cotton cloth from his pocket

Without regard for Chen Jiangping's outburst, Liu Huaidong once again turned to Luo Zhenqiang, "Mr. Luo, does your son wish to have someone of a certain age, who has lived long enough to be akin to a dog, to handle this matter, or shall it be entrusted to me? You may make the decision."

In the next moment, Liu Huaidong swiftly drew out three short needles with lightning speed, seamlessly piercing them into three acupoints on Luo Gang's body.

However, it is possible that there are bone fragments lodged in the young master's lung, so our chances of success together may not exceed thirty percent

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Zhenqiang finally asked with some anticipation: "This young brother, are you saying that you can cure Xiaogang?"

Liu Huaidong raised his head under the admiring gazes of the crowd, first casting a provocative glance at Chen Jiangping, and then subtly shifting his gaze to Wang Guanglin. "Director Wang, to speak candidly, what are the chances of success for this case if you collaborate with the several attending physicians present?"

Even the dean did not dare to provoke Qin Susu at this critical moment, let alone Chen Jiangping. Although he felt resentment towards Liu Huaidong in his heart, in the face of Qin Susu's fury, his head was bowed lower than anyone else's.

"What, no more than thirty percent?" Qin Susu was instantly enraged upon hearing this. Without regard for her image, she directly shouted, "Are you people just idlers? I really don't understand how the prestigious First People's Hospital ended up nurturing a group of mediocre doctors like you!"

Luo Gang nodded gently once again; although the movement was slight, it was sufficient for everyone present to notice it clearly

"What are you using to puncture the patient? Quickly take it out!" Although Chen Jiangping spoke without delay, it was still too late compared to Liu Huaidong's speed in administering the needle.

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and could not help but recall some patients they had encountered in the past with multiple fractures, who seemed to exhibit behavior quite different from that of this young man, Luo, today

After Luo Gang was pricked three times by Liu Huaidong, he surprisingly calmed down. Not only that, but there seemed to be a hint of clarity restored in his eyes, indicating that his mind was now in a state of wakefulness

At this moment, Luo Gang must be thinking, these quack doctors of Spicy Chicken nearly caused my young master to meet his demise. Fortunately, there is always a glimmer of hope; finally, someone understands my heartfelt sentiments...

However, Liu Huaidong did not make things too difficult for the old man; he simply taught him a lesson and then skillfully pushed Chen Jiangping aside.

Although Liu Huaidong is an intern at the First People's Hospital, many department heads and even the hospital director, who do not often interact with him, have no impression of him whatsoever

Hmph, what a clever little fellow you are, are you trying to justify yourself?

Luo Gang nodded excitedly

After unrolling the rolled-up fabric, everyone saw inside a set of acupuncture needles of varying lengths and thicknesses. This set of needles was the only heirloom left to Liu Huaidong by his grandfather. Since he had learned traditional Chinese medicine from his grandfather since childhood, he had kept this set of needles with him ever since his grandfather passed away

However, just as Wang Guanglin was in deep distress and Chen Jiangping was seething with anger, Luo Zhenqiang, who was in the same hospital room, spoke up, "Director Wang, tell me, what are the chances of successfully treating my son?"

Upon hearing the latter part of Liu Huaidong's statement, Chen Jiangping naturally assumed that he was feeling guilty and was reluctant to allow anyone to take a CT scan of Luo Gang. Consequently, he spared no effort in mocking him.

By the time he reacted and wanted to stop Liu Huaidong, the three silver needles had already been successfully inserted into Luo Gang's body by Liu Huaidong using a subtle force

Upon hearing this, Liu Huaidong naturally saw no reason to endure without retaliating. He turned his head and shot a glance at Chen Jiangping, a sneer of disdain appearing on his face as he said, "Heh, I am not sure about the others, but as for you, Chen Jiangping, at your age, you have merely lived like a dog!"

Including the dean and the couple Luo Zhenqiang, everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Liu Huaidong with a look of disbelief

"You bastard, have those needles been sterilized? Who gave you the audacity to stab a wounded person!" Chen Jiangping, seeing that Liu Huaidong had already succeeded, suddenly went mad and rushed over to pull out the three silver needles from Luo Gang's body

However, when Liu Huaidong raised this issue, he specifically named Wang Guanglin, clearly indicating that he completely disregarded the presence of Chen Jiangping

In the face of his malicious doubts, Liu Huaidong merely smiled disdainfully and slowly walked to Luo Gang's side under the watchful eyes of the crowd

Luo Gang nodded vigorously once again, and this time, two clear tears unexpectedly rolled down the corners of his eyes

Liu Huaidong's confidence is not a mere attempt to attract attention without substance; rather, it stems from his complete mastery of the four essential skills of Traditional Chinese Medicine—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—after receiving the inheritance of the Medical Sage.
