Chapter 2692: Chapter 2693: Battle of Wits with a Group of Doctors
âThisâŠâ
Lin Yiâs 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 didnât know how to explain.
Because this matter of God seemingly lacks theoretical support and scientific basis.
Zheng Tiejun stifled a laugh.
Lin Yiâs 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.
âWhy are you guys speechless?â Lin Yi said with a smile:
âCould it be you donât believe in God either? If thatâs the case, I can understand, and I hope you will spread the idea that God is a superstition, to prevent others from being deceived.â
âWhat youâre saying is not right!â
In the hearts of the people from Ouzhou, God holds a high position, and naturally, they couldnât stand Lin Yi saying this.
âWhatâs wrong with it?â
âGod is the faith in our hearts!â
âBut didnât you say that things without theoretical support and scientific basis are superstitions, so how come these, when itâs you, become faith? Isnât it too double-standard?â
Faced with Lin Yiâs argument, the doctor from Eagle Country was left speechless.
They could only stand there indignantly, continually rolling their eyes.
âDoctor Lin, I think these are two different matters and cannot be mentioned together,â Stephen said:
âMedical examinations should rely mainly on scientific checks; we must be responsible for the patients.â
âI do not deny the status of science in the medical field, but advocating it indiscriminately can be a bit excessive,â Lin Yi said:
âWhat 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 itâs not as reliable as humans.â
âPurely in the medical field, I cannot agree with your statement.â Stephen maintained his view.
âCome, give me your wrist.â
âWhat do you want to do?â Stephen asked suspiciously.
âIâm going to take your pulse.â
âI know this diagnostic method is unique to your country, China, but Iâve never acknowledged it, for the same reason as beforeâI canât find theoretical support for it.â
âTake it easy.â
Lin Yi placed his hand on Stephenâs wrist, and after a few seconds, he said:
âYou have kidney stones, but theyâre 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 wonât mention them.â
Lin Yi withdrew his hand.
âWas I correct?â
Stephen was stunned for a moment, lost in thought for a long time.
He didnât 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.
âHow did you discover it?â
âI canât explain it to you either, as you said, this thing has no theoretical support; itâs all based on experience,â Lin Yi said:
âBut I want to ask, if at Mayo Hospital, how much would it cost to detect all these illnesses?â
âI can tell you first that the cost in China is about four dollars, and you can see a doctor the same day.â
âFour dollars, same-day treatmentâŠâ
Lin Yiâs 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 thatâs 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.
âBut getting medical treatment requires following the procedure to be more precise!â
âI agree with your viewpoint, but have you ever thought about how much burden this would cause ordinary people?â Lin Yi said:
âYou think your workload is heavy and need a good rest, which leads to postponing the patientsâ 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?â
Lin Yiâs words left Stephen in silence.
He had previously worked with Li Chuhan, and both recognized each otherâs capabilities, but they couldnât 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 Chuhanâs 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 countryâs medical systemâs correctness.
And now hearing Lin Yiâs words, he didnât know how to argue against it.
The M countryâs medical system certainly has its advantages, but it also has serious drawbacks.
This seems to go against the true profession of being a doctor.
âThe methods you use are all experiential with strong subjectivity, easy to make mistakes, and canât gain world recognition.â
âTraditional Chinese medicine in China doesnât need your recognition, never mind you in Eagle Country; even adding the entire Ouzhou, you donât outnumber us, and purely from a market perspective, we donât need your recognition,â Lin Yi said:
âThrough todayâs 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 havenât fully mastered it, using scientific monism to regard everything is not right.â
After speaking, Lin Yi looked at Stephen.
âIt seems your cervical spine is not good either; do you need me to treat it?â
âThis has been an old ailment for many years, it simply canât be cured, only temporarily relieved with medication.â
âWith your methods, certainly itâs incurable, but that doesnât mean our methods donât work.â
After speaking, Lin Yi moved behind Stephen, pressing upon his neck and spine.
Then, he positioned his left hand against Stephenâs spine and his right hand on his right shoulder, exerting a forceful twist.
Crack crack crackâ
A series of joint friction sounds arose.
The Ouzhou doctors listening felt a chill on their scalps, feeling as if Stephenâs 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.
âProfessor Stephen, are you okay?â 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.
âItâs amazing, Iâm actually healed!â
Lin Yi stepped back and looked at the others:
âNow, who among you can use science to explain this to me?â
