Chapter 191
Disdain shed across Gwen’s face. Leo already hated her to death. If she made such a public
statement, all her teammates would hate her, too. She was about to refuse when Mina rushed over.
“100 do it.”
Taking the microphone from the staff, Mina said in front of everyone, “Hello, everyone. I’m Mina, a
member of the modern medicine team. I believe you know about the bet the traditional and modern
medicine teams made yesterday. I’m officially announcing that the modern medicine team has lost
yesterday’s debate, and the traditional medicine team has won.” Hearing Mina’s announcement,
apuse could be heard everywhere. Gwen was speechless. She thought, “Mina, which bastard sent
you to sabotage our team?”
If she had known that Mina would trick her, she would have admitted that she had pimples on her face.
After the bet was over, the traditional and modern medicine teams began to receive patients. There
were two reception desks in the venue. The organizers were very thoughtful in choosing patients. Most
of the patients were diagnosed with more severe illnesses, and all of them had the same or simr
conditions.
For example, there were two patients in the first group. They were both in their forties and had liver
cancer. In that situation, each of the traditional and modern medicine teams was arranged to treat one
patient. Both teams’ doctors could assign their practitioners to treat the patients, or they could hold a
group consultation.
The organizer would not reveal the patient’s condition to the traditional and modern medicine teams.
The doctors would diagnose it themselves and create a treatment n before treating it.
And the oue would be determined by which side had developed a more effective treatment. Some
patients had leukemia, liver cancer, rheumatism, and kidney stone… In addition to the examination
table, the modern medicine team had also set up a separate room in the venue,plete with
examination equipment.
On the other hand, the traditional medicine practitioner relied only on questioning the patients,
observations, and their skills in taking the patient’s pulse. On the traditional medicine side, the first
patient was received by a doctor named Ludwig Lane. All the doctors who were epted into the
traditional medicine team were famous throughout the country.
As soon as Ludwig took the patient’s pulse, his expression turned ugly. He asked the patient a few
more questions. Behind the patient’s back, he wrote “Liver Cancer, Intermediate Stage” on his medical
notepad. He told the patient his liver was damaged, but it was not a big problem. The patient would
recover his full vigor after taking medicine for a year and a half.
The patient was overjoyed, but he was still worried. He asked why he was always in such a bad mood.
Moreover, when he looked at himself in the mirror, he could feel that his face was pale. Sometimes, it
would look red, and his skin would be extremely oily. And after washing his hair, it would be oily
after less than half a day.
Ludwigforted the patient and said that he would prescribe some medicine to help the patient
recuperate. These symptoms were caused by some of the patient’s bad lifestyle habits. If the patient.
maintained a happy mood, rested adequately, and took the prescribed medicine, he would slowly
recover. The patient was relieved and left happily. As for the modern medicine team, the members went
straight to the medical equipment for a checkup. Soon, they diagnosed the patient with liver cancer
Then, they checked the patient’s vitals and health indicators. Quickly, they determined a treatment
n. Partial hepatectomy would be performed on the patient. And after the hepatectomy,
chemotherapy and radiation therapy would be carried out. On the traditional medicine practitioners’
side…
Ludwig looked troubled as he discussed with Jonathan. “Professor Woods, I feel that the organizers
are making things difficult for us. We are traditional medicine practitioners. Without surgery, we can’t
treat such an illness with traditional treatment methods alone.”
Jonathan said, “Actually, what you said was correct. There’s hope for recovery after a year and a half.”
Annalise asked, “Did the organizer stipte that traditional medicine practitioners cannot perform
surgical treatment on patients?” “Not really,” said Ludwig. “Then, we’ll do the same. We’ll do the
surgery.” Annalise said. The traditional medicine team members felt that Annalise was ruining their
reputation..
“Annalise, I know that you’re someone special now. Not only are you Professor Woods’ close
confidante, but you’re also the Parks family’s granddaughter-inw. You have a dignified status. But we
are traditional medicine practitioners. If we use modern medicine techniques to treat the patient, won’t
we be admitting that modern medicine is better?”
“That’s right, Ms. Barton. I admit you did win a round for our team yesterday with your cleverness. But
al simple trick is still only a simple trick. It won’t get your name on the hall of fame…”
How could Jonathan stand everyone saying that about Anna? His face immediately fell. “How can you
guys be so ungrateful? Annalise’s medical skills are outstanding. She could tell at a nce that Gwen’s
liver was hyperactive. She also used her intelligence to lure Gwen into agreeing to the bet. She used
her intelligence to win a round for our team, but you’re calling it a simple trick. Come, Graham, tell me.
Since Anna’s only good for pulling simple tricks, show us your masterstroke.”
The traditional medicine practitioner named Graham was also famous. He was in his sixties and was
older than Jonathan, but he understood Jonathan’s status in the medical profession. He had never
dared to be reckless in front of Jonathan.
However, Annalise was different. To them, Annalise was nothing but a naive blonde.
Having been rebuked by Jonathan, Graham said helplessly, “Professor Woods, don’t be angry. I was
wrong. But my opinion is the same as Hector’s. We’re traditional medicine practitioners, so we have to
treat him with traditional methods.” Annalise said, “If you have a way to treat liver cancer without
surgery, of course, you don’t have to.” Annalise’s words caused dissatisfaction among the few old
fellows.
Hector said, “You… Are you here to upset me? Huh? If we can cure liver cancer without surgery, what
else are we discussing? We would have just treated him directly.” Graham said, “Professor Woods, this
protégé of yours is not very respectful.”
Annalise said, “I don’t mean to be disrespectful. What I’m trying to say is we should discuss a suitable
treatment n. It’s better if we don’t have to perform surgery. But if traditional methods can’t treat it,
surgery is not out of the question, either. It doesn’t matter which method we use to treat the patient as
long as the patient is saved. Simrly, our medical skills are meant to save lives. As long as the patient
is cured, that’s all that matters.”
“But surgery is a modern medicine technique. If our traditional medicine team uses surgery, won’t it be
the same as pping ourselves in the face?”

Annalise looked at the stubborn old doctors. She became unhappy as well. “How did surgery be
something unique to modern medicine? Traditional civilization has existed for 5,000 years. The history
of traditional medicine started when a legendary physician recorded every herb he encountered. After
some development, the bone-scraping technique was discovered. Isn’t that the earliest form of
surgery?”
Two of the younger traditional medicine practitioners were more receptive. When they heard Annalise’s
words, their eyes lit up. Immediately, they pped their thighs. “That’s right. Traditional medicine has
surgery techniques, too.” Jonathan said, “That’s right. We can’t limit ourselves. Surgery is not unique to
modern medicine.” Graham said, “Should we perform: surgery, too?”
Hector pped his thigh. “Yes, we should. But what about chemotherapy and radiotherapy?” Everyone
looked at Annalise in unison. They felt that although Annalise’s medical skills were sub-par, she was
clever. She could probably think of a solution. Annalise said…
