“This…”
Lin Yi’s words left the doctors from Ouzhou collectively dumbfounded.
No one expected Lin Yi to steer the topic towards the question of God.
They wanted to refute it but didn’t know how to explain.
Because this matter of God seemingly lacks theoretical support and scientific basis.
Zheng Tiejun stifled a laugh.
Lin Yi’s quick thinking is truly unmatched.
Aside from Gu Jialin, the other doctors from China also felt a sense of pride and exhilaration.
This comeback was truly satisfying.
“Why are you guys speechless?” Lin Yi said with a smile:
“Could it be you don’t believe in God either? If that’s the case, I can understand, and I hope you will spread the idea that God is a superstition, to prevent others from being deceived.”
“What you’re saying is not right!”
In the hearts of the people from Ouzhou, God holds a high position, and naturally, they couldn’t stand Lin Yi saying this.
“What’s wrong with it?”
“God is the faith in our hearts!”
“But didn’t you say that things without theoretical support and scientific basis are superstitions, so how come these, when it’s you, become faith? Isn’t it too double-standard?”
Faced with Lin Yi’s argument, the doctor from Eagle Country was left speechless.
They could only stand there indignantly, continually rolling their eyes.
“Doctor Lin, I think these are two different matters and cannot be mentioned together,” Stephen said:
“Medical examinations should rely mainly on scientific checks; we must be responsible for the patients.”
“I do not deny the status of science in the medical field, but advocating it indiscriminately can be a bit excessive,” Lin Yi said:
“What so-called science is nothing more than the product of results detected by advanced instruments, but machines are still machines. Overuse can lead to dependency, and sometimes it’s not as reliable as humans.”
“Purely in the medical field, I cannot agree with your statement.” Stephen maintained his view.
“Come, give me your wrist.”
“What do you want to do?” Stephen asked suspiciously.
“I’m going to take your pulse.”
“I know this diagnostic method is unique to your country, China, but I’ve never acknowledged it, for the same reason as before—I can’t find theoretical support for it.”
“Take it easy.”
Lin Yi placed his hand on Stephen’s wrist, and after a few seconds, he said:
“You have kidney stones, but they’re not severe. You have some minor cardiovascular disease, you probably had a stent procedure, as well as a slight cerebral infarction and mild diabetes. As for other minor ailments, I won’t mention them.”
Lin Yi withdrew his hand.
“Was I correct?”
Stephen was stunned for a moment, lost in thought for a long time.
He didn’t expect that Lin Yi could diagnose all his conditions just by feeling his pulse.
Zheng Tiejun, standing by, was also a bit surprised, not expecting that Lin Yi understood traditional Chinese medicine and had such a high level of mastery.
“How did you discover it?”
“I can’t explain it to you either, as you said, this thing has no theoretical support; it’s all based on experience,” Lin Yi said:
“But I want to ask, if at Mayo Hospital, how much would it cost to detect all these illnesses?”
“I can tell you first that the cost in China is about four dollars, and you can see a doctor the same day.”
“Four dollars, same-day treatment…”
Lin Yi’s words brought tremendous shock to the other doctors from Ouzhou.
For someone like Stephen, to undergo a comprehensive physical examination to check for all his conditions, it would cost at least $3,000 and would require a one-month advance reservation.
And that’s just for the examination.
But in China, he can get checked the same day for just four dollars.
The disparity and superiority are clear-cut, with the evidence right in front of them, irrefutable.
“But getting medical treatment requires following the procedure to be more precise!”
“I agree with your viewpoint, but have you ever thought about how much burden this would cause ordinary people?” Lin Yi said:
“You think your workload is heavy and need a good rest, which leads to postponing the patients’ appointments limitlessly, but what if after a month, the person is dead? Is your so-called medicine scientific, or is it curing the sick or saving people?”
Lin Yi’s words left Stephen in silence.
He had previously worked with Li Chuhan, and both recognized each other’s capabilities, but they couldn’t reach consensus on certain philosophies, which was one of the reasons Li Chuhan returned to China.
But in recent years since returning home, they still communicated often. Given Li Chuhan’s increasingly mature thinking, Stephen gradually found himself influenced by him, too.
A people-oriented, compassionate approach in medicine also led him to ponder the M country’s medical system’s correctness.
And now hearing Lin Yi’s words, he didn’t know how to argue against it.
The M country’s medical system certainly has its advantages, but it also has serious drawbacks.
This seems to go against the true profession of being a doctor.
“The methods you use are all experiential with strong subjectivity, easy to make mistakes, and can’t gain world recognition.”
“Traditional Chinese medicine in China doesn’t need your recognition, never mind you in Eagle Country; even adding the entire Ouzhou, you don’t outnumber us, and purely from a market perspective, we don’t need your recognition,” Lin Yi said:
“Through today’s event, I want to tell you not to overly rely on science, because mankind has yet to grasp the boundaries of science, just like since ancient times, humans have only conquered one smallpox virus, achieving nothing against other viruses, so when you haven’t fully mastered it, using scientific monism to regard everything is not right.”
After speaking, Lin Yi looked at Stephen.
“It seems your cervical spine is not good either; do you need me to treat it?”
“This has been an old ailment for many years, it simply can’t be cured, only temporarily relieved with medication.”
“With your methods, certainly it’s incurable, but that doesn’t mean our methods don’t work.”
After speaking, Lin Yi moved behind Stephen, pressing upon his neck and spine.
Then, he positioned his left hand against Stephen’s spine and his right hand on his right shoulder, exerting a forceful twist.
Crack crack crack—
A series of joint friction sounds arose.
The Ouzhou doctors listening felt a chill on their scalps, feeling as if Stephen’s bones were about to be crushed.
The latter also let out a painful scream, attracting the attention of many people coming and going, wanting to know what happened.
“Professor Stephen, are you okay?” Someone stepped forward, asking.
Stephen raised his hand, making a stopping gesture.
After a few seconds of stillness, he moved his shoulder and neck a few times, suddenly revealing a look of surprise.
“It’s amazing, I’m actually healed!”
Lin Yi stepped back and looked at the others:
“Now, who among you can use science to explain this to me?”
