This sudden statement by Huang Xiaolong took people by surprise!
He had agreed to diagnose pregnancies through pulse reading, but unexpectedly changed his mind on the spot, claiming he didn’t even need to take their pulse! He said he could figure it out at just one glance!
This joke was going a bit too far…
Was he a god?
“Um… Dr. Huang Xiaolong, you’re quite witty…” Said the nurse, feeling a bit awkward, “Alright, Dr. Huang Xiaolong, please don’t waste any more time. Could you quickly start checking the pulse of Volunteer No. 1? Everyone is waiting for your results!”
“Huh? I’m witty? I’m not witty at all. What I said is true. I can tell at just a glance whether they’re pregnant or not. Checking the pulse is as superfluous as farting with one’s pants down. “Huang Xiaolong said seriously. “Now, let’s start with Volunteer No. 1.”
The whole room was in an uproar!
Although traditional Chinese medicine is miraculous, it’s ridiculous to claim that one can notice whether a woman is pregnant or not at just one glance! This has exceeded the scope of traditional medicine- it’s a special ability!
“This guy is messing with us!” The dean of the First People’s Hospital couldn’t keep a straight face anymore. “This is a serious and solemn occasion. As a doctor, he should treat it with respect! This is a hospital, not a circus to watch performances!”
“What a farce! It’s just a farce!” Professor Zhu, an authority on western medicine, sneered at Old Master Shi, a grandmaster of traditional Chinese medicine, and said with a disgruntled face, “Old Master Shi, what’s your opinion? Does your traditional Chinese medicine have such a miraculous technique?”
“Ah!” Old Master Shi was also pretty angry at this point.
As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Old Master Shi definitely supported Huang Xiaolong unconditionally, but what Huang Xiaolong said was not just boasting, it was pure nonsense!
In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has been in decline. The heritage left by our ancestors has been lost with the passage of time. As such, traditional Chinese medicine has had a hard time surpassing western medicine in our country. Moreover, an increasing number of quacks have been using the name of traditional Chinese medicine to deceive people, tarnishing its reputation.
Many people in our country now distrust traditional Chinese medicine, even considering it superstition or witchcraft.
Old Master Shi and other elderly practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine were initially quite gratified that a young man had stepped up to challenge the western medicine in this pulse diagnosis for pregnancy competition, especially in these times when traditional Chinese medicine is in such a state of decline. They deeply admired his bravery.
But it turned out he was just a fraudster!
“Ahem– everyone, please calm down.” Brother Zhao Qi cleared his throat. “I do believe in Dr. Little Long. His words are not unfounded. Why don’t we just wait and see? Don’t dismiss a person so easily…Especially someone extraordinary as Dr. Little Long.
Of course, Brother Zhao Qi staunchly supported Huang Xiaolong.
However, the leaders and expert team of the First People’s Hospital who were seated there looked at Brother Zhao Qi with disdain.
They were thinking, “You’re a crude person from the underworld, what do you know about medicine?”
The only ones still firmly supporting Huang Xiaolong were Su Xiaoman sitting next to him, along with Lin Jing and Chief Xu.
“Captain Lin, these quacks have no clue what Little Long is capable of! I trust him!” Chief Xu said confidently with a smile on his face.
“Hmm, let’s wait and see.” Lin Jing looked forward with a sense of expectation in her eyes.
After understanding the rules, Lin Jing was amazed and even a little incredulous about Huang Xiaolong’s claim that he could tell if a woman was pregnant with just a glance.
However, subconsciously, Lin Jing believed Huang Xiaolong.
Rightly so, after all, he had saved her life. Why wouldn’t she trust him unconditionally?
At this point, Huang Xiaolong sat calmly amidst the crowd’s noise and doubt, laughing. “Why are you all so shocked? Well… it seems you’re really ignorant. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes visual inspection, olfaction, inquiry and pulse-taking. Visual diagnosis has existed since ancient times. It’s not something I made up. As early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, Bian Que saw Duke Huan of Cai, after a while Bian Que said that ‘your highness has an ailment in the pores which might worsen if not treated’…
Actually, Bian Que used his technique of observing qi to diagnose Duke Huan’s illness at a glance—I’ve studied Bian Que’s Eight Methods of Observing Qi, and can tell if these women are pregnant. Does that astonish you? Alas– you’re exactly what’s meant by ‘frogs at the bottom of a well’.”
“Bian Que? The eight methods of observing Qi? This is getting more and more ludicrous!” The dean, enraged, laughed ironically. “Enough, let us, the so-called frogs in a well, experience this so-called ‘Eight Methods of Observing Qi’. It will be educational. Hahaha, Bian Que? I might as well be Hua Tuo!” “Can I start now?” Huang Xiaolong looked impatiently at the nurse.
“Do whatever you want.” The nurse walked away without saying another word.
“Good! Volunteer No.l is pregnant.” Huang Xiaolong declared aloud.
The staff immediately operated the laptop connected to the LED big screen, and behind the avatar of Volunteer No.l, an “O” symbol was immediately marked.
“Volunteer No.2 is pregnant.”
“Volunteer No.3… yes, also pregnant, but probably less than 20 days.”
“Volunteer No.4 is not pregnant, and she’s a virgin.”
“Volunteer No.5 has a ectopic gestation- seems like she’s undergone in-vitro fertilization. It’s twins, so I guess that counts as pregnancy.”
“Volunteer No.6 is pregnant.”
Huang Xiaolong described the situations of 10 volunteers in one breath, and on the LED big screen, corresponding “O” or “X” marks were marked behind each volunteer’s avatar.
The whole procedure took less than 3 minutes!
“That’s all I have to say.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“That’s it?” The nurse’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Even virgins can be identified? In-vitro fertilizations can be seen? Isn’t this baseless bragging?” Laughter erupted around the edges of the square.
“Hahaha—-” Bai Hai also laughed. The B-scan reports from the public notaries were classified, so Bai Hai didn’t know the details either and couldn’t tell whether Huang Xiaolong was correct. But it appeared that Huang Xiaolong was just making things up, “Dean, just look at this guy, he sure can brag. Ectopic gestation? In-vitro fertilization? Twins? Can all this be seen with naked eyes? Hahaha- I’m dying of laughter.”
The procedure had to be completed regardless of the situation.
“Now, let’s invite the public notary to open the envelope containing the B-scan reports to verify it against Dr. Huang Xiaolong’s diagnosis.” The nurse asked the notary to come forward.
One of the notaries stood up holding an envelope, looking serious. He drew a deep breath, spoke into the microphone on the table, and announced. “On behalf of the First People’s Hospital of Binhai City, we have supervised the entire competition. We hereby affirm that the challenge was in accordance with the scheduled procedure, and that the results are valid. Now, let’s announce the results-”
After the speech, he ripped open the envelope with a rustle, and pulled out 10
B-scan reports.
