Chapter 188: Chapter 189: Teaching Sheng Feng a Lesson 1
"No, itâs impossible, Western medicine canât be inferior to Chinese medicine..."
Ni Jia couldnât accept the current result. The Western medicine she was so proud of actually lost to the Chinese medicine she had always looked down on.
And it was to the very rival she hated, which was a huge blow to her!
Even more embarrassing was that she had just confidently claimed that Nianyang would mess up the treatment, but now it was her own treatment that went wrong.
#The slap in the face came as fast as a tornado#
Sheng Feng was even more shocked, how could this be? This village girl really had some skills, her medical expertise surpassed that of Doctor Ni, he simply couldnât believe it.
"Dr. Gu, we shouldnât have underestimated you earlier, please come and save everyone."
Snapping out of it, the medical staff all begged Nianyang to save them!
Nianyang also knew that in this era, Chinese medicine was scorned by everyone. She wouldnât be pretentious and quibble over their previous disdain. She took the medicine box and went over to treat the others. Although these rashes werenât very serious, if left untreated, they could become life-threatening.
She quickly performed acupuncture and cupping on everyone. When they saw the horrific rashes on their bodies gradually subside, the crowd had no choice but to deeply believe that Nianyangâs Chinese medical skills were comparable to Hua Tuo.
Hearing everyone praise Nianyangâs medical skills, Ni Jia felt extremely upset and couldnât help but raise her voice,
"Gu Nianyang, how did you manage to diagnose and treat the cause so quickly, whatâs your basis?"
In Ni Jiaâs heart, she still harbored a strong aversion to Chinese medicine, unwilling to believe it could be better than Western medicine. There had to be something else to it.
"Through the Chinese medicine pulse-taking method, the seamenâs pulse at the Renying and Cunkou points was three times larger than normal. In this situation, the blood vessels are blocked, and blood and energy cannot circulate properly, which damages the internal organs. Therefore, itâs necessary to use the triple acupuncture method to expel the toxic blood."
"What you said has no scientific basis. Chinese medicine is clearly a useless scam. You just got lucky, a blind cat running into a dead rat!"
Ni Jia comforted herself by saying this, yes, thatâs it, treating with Chinese medicine is just about luck. Nianyang was just lucky, it doesnât mean her medical skills are better than mine, she canât surpass me!
"Chinese medicine is not a scam!" Nianyang said earnestly, "Western medicine treats patients with modern medical techniques, while Chinese medicine uses five thousand years of traditional medical experience to treat patients. Chinese medicine is ever-changing and inexhaustible; its medical experience is deeper and broader than the ocean."
"No matter what you say, I will never acknowledge the value of Chinese medicine. Itâs simply no match for Western medicine, a country bumpkin is just a country bumpkin, donât dream of making a name in the medical world. Who would recognize Chinese medicine now?"
Ni Jia stubbornly said, adamantly refusing to acknowledge the value of Chinese medicine, or rather, she refused to acknowledge Nianyangâs superior Chinese medical skills.
The only thing she was proud of was her medical skills; how could she lose to a village woman?
"The existence of Chinese medicine doesnât need Western medicineâs acknowledgment. Western medicine doesnât have the qualification. Long before modern science arose, Chinese medicine was a complete medical system, having more say in the history of human medicine than Western medicine."
Nianyang slowly said,
"Of course, Western medicine isnât wrong, I acknowledge the outstanding contributions scientific medicine has made to humanity. Itâs just that those who study Western medicine havenât maintained their foundations, forgetting the millennium of pharmacology our ancestors painstakingly left for our country."
Hearing this, the surrounding medical staff all bowed their heads in shame.
Isnât that so?
Initially, who didnât rely on Chinese medicine for survival? It was only with the progress of science that everyone zealously promoted Western medicine, gradually abandoning Chinese medicine which had a slower treatment process and lacked scientific basis.
In todayâs world, Western medicine looks down on Chinese medicine, even wanting to abolish its existence. Yet, Chinese medicine has always been tolerant in acknowledging the contributions of Western medicine, never uttering a single prejudiced word.
A thousand-year heritage, the true national treasure.
