Chapter 192


    Annalise said, “I think that as doctors, the most important thing for us is to find the best treatment for


    the patient. What is the best treatment? It’s the most effective way toward physical recovery and the


    least harmful to the body. It’s best if it can also help the patient save some money. After all, not all


    patients can afford high medical expenses.


    “Some people spent everything they had on medical treatments. “We will consider radiotherapy and


    chemotherapy after observing the patient’s postoperative status. “We’re advocating for traditional


    medicine, which means that we should preserve the best of traditional medicine. To preserve its


    essence, we should remove all impurities.


    “The reason why we’repeting with the modern medicine team is not to de-modernize. We’re here


    to raise awareness of some bad practices in modern medicine, such as antibiotic overprescription or


    electing surgery when there’s no need for surgery. “Simrly, we should also learn from the good things


    in modern medicine. “No matter our profession, we should work hard and learn continuously. Only then


    will our industry develop faster and better.” “Well said,” Graham praised her.


    At first, Graham disliked Annalise. He felt that Annalise only knew how to pull tricks and win arguments.


    He did not think of her as worthy. But after hearing Annalise’s words, his opinion of her changed. His


    sallow eyes were filled with admiration.


    Graham had always worked hard on traditional medicine research. He wanted to take in disciples, but


    he only had a few disciples to impart his knowledge to. It was because young people were increasingly


    unwilling to study traditional medicine. They were more willing to study modern medicine. This was


    because modern medicine was much simpler, and the ie after graduation was higher.


    As for traditional medicine, due to its slow efficacy, there were not many outpatient clinics in every


    hospital. They did not perform well, either. And the practitioners’ ie was notparable to that of


    modern medicine.


    Therefore, when he heard Annalise mention surgery, Graham immediately became unhappy. He felt


    that Annalise, as a traditional medicine practitioner, was advocating for modern medicine. But after


    hearing Annalise’s words, he admired this youngdy from the bottom of his heart. She was so young,


    but she was already so wise and experienced.


    Every sentence she spoke made sense, and every sentence was on point. Graham thought it was most


    touching when Annalise said she wanted to help the patients save some money. Regardless of how her


    medical skills were, her considerate nature was enough to move him. Graham started studying


    traditional medicine at the age of seven. He had been a practitioner for six decades.


    When his mentor epted him as a disciple, he told him that every traditional medicine practitioner


    should remember one sentence. That is, “I hope there is no hardship in the world. I would rather shelf


    this medicine and let it be shrouded in dust.” Therefore, traditional medicine practitioners would always


    focus on treating the root cause.


    Modern society was superficial, where money and personal benefits were paramount. Many illnesses


    could be cured directly, but to sell more medicine, some doctors deliberately prescribed some


    ineffective medicine for treatment, while others would prescribe expensive drugs on purpose.


    Some pharmacies would hang a promotional banner all year round to sell more medicine. Buy eight,


    get three free. Or buy five, get one free. It was as if they wished everyone would fall sick and buy more


    drugs all year. That kind of medical unprofessionalism made him feel disheartened.


    But after seeing such an ambition in the youngdy’s heart, Graham was suddenly full of hope. Hector


    also felt that what Annalise said made sense. He no longer looked at her as disdainfully as he had in


    the past.


    Ludwig said, “Then, let’s discuss the treatment n now. I’ve checked the patient’s pulse. He’s in the


    intermediate stage of liver cancer, which means conservative treatment will be extremely difficult.


    Therefore, we still have to perform surgery. Let’s discuss the details of the surgery. Who will be the


    chief surgeon?”


    Several pairs of eyes turned to look at Jonathan. “Don’t look at me. I won’t do it,” Jonathan said.


    “Julian, you have to,” Annalise said.


    The patient had intermediate-stage liver cancer. John must personally handle the surgery. John was


    the chief surgeon, and Annalise would perform acupuncture on the patient after the surgery. Coupled


    with the traditional medicine prescription, the patient should be able to recover.


    “Yeah, that’s right. Professor Woods, we need you to perform the surgery. We can treat the other


    patients, so we definitely won’t push them onto you,” Graham said.

    “Since everyone has said so, alright. Arrange for the surgery this afternoon,” Jonathan said. “That’s


    amazing. Let’s continue to see the other patients,” a woman in her forties, another traditional medicine


    practitioner, said. The second patient had a mineral deposit in his body. Ludwig took the patient’s pulse


    first. Afterward, he asked Graham to take the patient’s pulse.


    Graham felt that it was kidney stones, but he was not sure. Diagnosing mineral deposits through the


    pulse was harder than tumors. Graham was an excellent traditional medicine practitioner. After taking


    the patient’s pulse, he confirmed that the patient had kidney stones.


    He then asked the patient about pain. How often did it hurt? How long did itst? Was there any stone


    excreted after the pain? How big were they? After a series of consultations, Graham confirmed the


    patient’s condition.


    The patient suffered from kidney stones, which were caused by a deficiency in the kidney. In this


    situation, the kidney was prone to developing mineral deposits. Every once in a while, crystals would


    be discharged, and new ones would grow. The deposits were not fatal, but they were not easy to treat.


    Most modern medicine practitioners would usesers to break the stone into pieces. However, modern


    medicine could not treat the underlying cause. After some time, the stones would return.


    Over time, kidney stones would cause water to umte in the kidneys. If there were too much


    water, the kidneys would be deformed, causing kidney function to deteriorate. And when the water kept


    umting. the kidney might lose its functionpletely.


    “This illness can be treated, but it will take a long time. The patient has to cooperate,” Graham said.


    When Hector heard that Graham could treat it, he praised, “You’re amazing. You can treat a disease


    like kidney stones.”


    “This is nothing. A truly powerful traditional medicine practitioner wouldn’t need surgery for a tumor.


    Unfortunately, our Chanaea is too strict with medical qualifications. Let’s not talk about this. Let’s move


    on to the next patient.” There were five patients today, and there would be five more tomorrow.


    There were a total of ten patients. The patients from the traditional and modern medicine teams were


    all the same. The subsequent results of the treatment were determined. The traditional medicine


    practitioners took an hour to treat five patients and discuss the treatment n as a group.


    As for the modern medicine team… The diagnosis was even faster. It was because they had used


    diagnostic equipment. There was no need to observe, ask the patient questions, or take their pulse.


    The diagnosis was very urate.


    After the diagnosis was out, they would sit together to discuss the treatment n. Patient 1 was a


    patient with liver cancer. Undoubtedly, he would undergo surgery. Patient 2 had kidney stones. Surgical


    treatment should suffice. Patient 3 had rheumatism. Surgery, as well.


    Patient 4 suffered from leukemia, and Patient 5 had a cervical spine injury. Surgical treatment for both.


    Leo knew that Gwen was a brilliant chief surgeon. He scheduled three surgeries for her. Because


    Gwen had lost a bet to Annalise, she was delighted to ept Leo’s task. Everyone thought Gwen


    wanted to make up for her mistakes, but she wanted to make a big ssh.


    Leo was the chief surgeon for the other two surgeries. He assigned the remaining surgery to another


    doctor. After the treatment and schedule were finalized, both teams submitted their ns to the judging


    panel. Afterward, they officially entered the treatment phase.


    Because Metropolis Hospital was the best hospital in Chanaea, it was chosen as the treatment center.


    The first group of patients to be treated were liver cancer patients. Respectively, Jonathan and Gwen


    entered different operating theaters. Naturally, it attracted reporters and others who paid attention to


    the event.
