I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 111 - 58: I’ve Been Targeted by a Scam Ring

Chapter 111: Chapter 58: I’ve Been Targeted by a Scam Ring

"Traditional Chinese medicine is so magical?"

Zhou Qihua’s face was full of amazement.

He was a native Western medicine practitioner, having studied Western medicine theories from the beginning, and had never had any contact with traditional Chinese medicine. Even now, many hospitals promote the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, including the City First Hospital, but the main focus is still on Western medicine.

However, the integration at the City First Hospital doesn’t have such abilities.

The diagnosis still primarily relies on various Western medical testing instruments.

Relying solely on pulse diagnosis, to be honest, sounds quite mystical.

But since Wang Youqing had already confirmed it, and had heard before that Dr. Lu had successively cured urinary retention and brucellosis-induced heart failure, there was no choice but to believe it.

"It’s too mystical."

"But if one really can rely solely on pulse diagnosis to differentiate diseases, how much skill does that require?"

Wu Liguo took a heavy breath: "Is Hua Tuo living again?"

"Rebirth of Zhongjing?" Zheng Yan chimed in.

The two of them spoke one after another, making Wang Youqing a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "It’s not as mystical as you say, like Hua Tuo living again or Zhongjing’s rebirth. But Lu’s medical skills are indeed impressive; anyway, he’s definitely the best I’ve seen."

"It’s hard to imagine that a young man in his twenties could be so skilled in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."

Xiao Boheng, who hadn’t spoken, now said: "However, traditional Chinese medicine, as a treasure of our country, indeed has its advancement. After all, it has survived thousands of years and remains standing. In many difficult and complex diseases, traditional Chinese medicine has achievements that should not be underestimated.

Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine is indeed powerful. Even though I studied Western medicine, I have to admit that traditional Chinese medicine may not be explainable by current science, yet it can cure diseases, and in terms of Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence, Western medicine can’t compare.

Sometimes, diseases that Western medicine can’t cure can often be miraculously treated by traditional Chinese medicine.

Of course, there aren’t many Chinese medicine practitioners with such abilities, and the average person rarely encounters them.

I heard that a large part of the Insurance Committee is occupied by Chinese medicine practitioners, which shows how potent traditional Chinese medicine is."

Having spoken up to this point, Xiao Boheng took a deep breath, looking at Wang Youqing with eyes full of enthusiasm: "Old Wang, when you have time, could you introduce this Dr. Lu to me?"

Wang Youqing was surprised; you, a department head from Ninth Hospital’s Gastroenterology Department, actively want to meet Lu?

But thinking of Lu Xuan’s abilities, Wang Youqing quickly came to terms.

A large part of those responsible for medical care in the Insurance Committee are Chinese medicine practitioners, which says a lot.

Traditional Chinese medicine has survived thousands of years because of its advancements.

In some aspects, it’s no less effective than Western medicine.

Even in surgery, based on historical records, Chinese medicine has existed for over a thousand years, and the surgical instruments unearthed are not inferior to modern ones.

Nowadays, who isn’t afraid of getting sick?

Even doctors fear it.

If Western medicine can’t solve a problem, it doesn’t mean traditional Chinese medicine can’t.

Some conditions that need surgery in Western medicine might be cured with a few doses of Chinese medicine, avoiding the pain of surgery.

And a body that hasn’t undergone surgery is definitely better than one that has.

As doctors, they are well aware of this.

Doctors like Lu Xuan, with their rare skills in Chinese medicine, are hard to come by. They must seize the opportunity to make a connection before he’s transferred to the province or even to Beijing.

Opportunities like this don’t come around often.

Upon hearing this, others too couldn’t help but perk up:

"Old Wang, shall we schedule another meeting tomorrow?"

"No other intentions, just want to invite a talented young man to dinner."

Zhou Qihua couldn’t hold back either and said: "I can invite a few colleagues from City First Hospital who are on good terms, so everyone can get acquainted."

Wang Youqing was at a loss: "Do all you big-shot department heads really have to do this?"

"Yes." Everyone affirmed.

Finally, unable to resist their enthusiasm, Wang Youqing said: "Forget about scheduling a dinner, but I can forward Lu’s WeChat to you all, and you can add him as a friend. I’ll also give Lu a heads-up, how about that?"

Wu Liguo frowned: "Can’t we just schedule a dinner?"

He genuinely hoped for a chance to meet, and there’s a big difference between meeting and not meeting someone.

If they also had drinks together, sharing laughter, the relationship would deepen even more.

"Yeah, Old Wang, let’s schedule a dinner." Xiao Boheng was also quite eager, knowing the big difference between meeting and not meeting someone.

Just like today’s meeting.

He and Wang Youqing had heard of each other to some extent before but had never met, thus were strangers. But now, it’s different.

Zhou Qihua from City First Hospital had the same thought.

Reluctantly, Wang Youqing agreed: "I’ll ask, but I can’t guarantee he’ll come."

"Just having your word is enough." Wu Liguo laughed heartily.

"By the way, don’t forget to share his WeChat in the group."

Wang Youqing couldn’t help but roll his eyes but still took out his phone to share, saying after a while: "I’ve shared it, you can add him yourselves."

"Thanks, Old Wang, there’s no need for words, it’s all in the drinks."

Wu Liguo raised his glass and drank it all.

The others followed suit.

And before long, Wang Youqing had already downed five or six glasses of liquor.

Wu Liguo was about to bow his head to add as a friend but, seeing this scene, frowned: "Old Wang, I can’t help but feel something’s off with you today.

How much have you drunk? Definitely more than us, and yet your face is only slightly red. That’s odd; we all know your alcohol tolerance is on par with ours, but today you’re performing extraordinarily well!"

At this moment, Zheng Yan also nodded: "I do feel that way, I seem to remember Old Wang went to the bathroom several times now; he wasn’t usually this frequent, could it be your... kidney..."

"Stop, my kidneys are perfectly healthy."

Before Zheng Yan could finish, Wang Youqing cut him off mercilessly.

He might concede that his medical skills aren’t as good, but questioning his kidneys is definitely slander.

"Then why have you gone to the bathroom three or four times?"

"Yeah, mixing white liquor with beer, you’ve had quite a bit."

Wu Liguo looked at the bottles behind him: "My goodness, a bottle of white liquor, five or six bottles of beer, and from the looks of it, I’d even say having another bottle of white and a few more beers wouldn’t be a problem, but this is indeed troubling."

"Definitely something wrong." Xiao Boheng nodded in agreement.

With everyone having about the same alcohol tolerance, why was Old Wang seemingly unaffected despite drinking so much?

Wang Youqing thought his secret was unnoticed but was surprised by Wu Liguo’s keen observation, though he wouldn’t budge and admit it.

"Alright, alright, let’s skip this topic, hurry and add Lu as a friend, otherwise I fear he might already be asleep."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally stopped asking questions and focused on the main task.

Understanding Old Wang’s peculiar situation was clearly not as important as connecting with Lu Xuan.

At this moment.

Lu Xuan was in a video call with Ji Xiuwen, discussing something, when suddenly a friend request popped up:

["Here to Treat Apes" requests to add you as a friend, note: City Ninth Hospital Deputy Director of Gastroenterology, Zheng Yan.]

"Hmm?"

Seeing this notification, Lu Xuan instinctively paused, as he didn’t know anyone from Ninth Hospital and definitely not Deputy Director Zheng Yan from their Gastroenterology department.

Seeing Lu Xuan’s expression change on the video, Ji Xiuwen curiously asked: "What’s going on?"

Lu Xuan explained: "A deputy director from Ninth Hospital named Zheng Yan suddenly sent me a friend request, but I don’t know him at all, and I’ve never even heard of him previously."

"Might have added the wrong person!"

Ji Xiuwen thought for a moment and said: "Nowadays, friend requests can be sent using phone numbers, maybe they punched in the wrong digit."

Lu Xuan didn’t dwell on it much, probably just a mistake. If it were from the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he might know a few, but none from Ninth Hospital.

Just as this thought arose, another notification appeared:

["May You Heal" requests to add you as a friend, note: City Ninth Hospital Director of Emergency Medicine, Wu Liguo.]

Mistaken again?

This time, Lu Xuan frowned even deeper.

But before he could react, a series of friend requests appeared almost simultaneously in his view.

["Wild Goose Flying Outside the Cloud" requests to add you as a friend, note: City Ninth Hospital Director of Gastroenterology, Xiao Boheng.]

["Quack Doctor’s Own Trouble" requests to add you as a friend, note: City First Hospital Director of Emergency Medicine, Zhou Qihua.]

...

"Damn!"

"What’s wrong?"

"I think I’ve been targeted by a scam ring."
