NOVEL NEXT Chapter 228 Authority
The patient's neck spine disease was completely cured!
If this had been announced by someone else, the people present would definitely not have believed it.
But.
This announcement came from Elder Zhong.
Elder Zhong.
In the hearts of those present, he symbolized authority.
Even among the entire nation's populace, he symbolized authority.
It's not to say that no one would doubt Zhong Feng.
If anyone speculated online that Elder Zhong might have cheated, they would be met with an onslaught of criticism from netizens across the country.
Such was the image of Elder Zhong in the hearts of the people of Dragon Country.
Therefore, when Elder Zhong made this statement, none of the people present doubted the words that came out of his mouth.
All eyes in the room turned to Wang Ye, filled with tumultuous shock.
Whoosh!
Some even stood up directly from their seats.
"Cured the neck spine disease? How... how is that possible? Neck spine disease can't be completely cured, not to mention, it was just one massage treatment given by him! How did he do it?"
"Elder Zhong wouldn't deceive us, so it's true that he cured the patient's neck spine disease. But before this, I clearly saw the neck spine disease patient who received the massage from Wang Ye could only lean backward on the seat with his head resting against it, and his face was full of pain."
"This Wang Ye is too incredible. He looks to be only in his twenties, in his twenties! Ordinary young people in their twenties, even if they are really interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine, at this age, are probably apprenticing with us old folks, right? How could he have come this far!"
There was a buzz of discussion amongst the people below.
Zhong Feng turned his gaze to Wang Ye, looking surprised as well.
Even Zhong Feng wanted to directly ask Wang Ye how he had done it.
But due to the context of the event, Zhong Feng restrained himself and did not voice the question to Wang Ye.
To cure neck spine disease completely.
It was without a doubt a very practical massage technique.
Once out, just by this one technique, it would be possible to make a fortune.
After all, in this day and age, there were simply too many people suffering from neck spine disease.
Zhong Feng moved aside, and the host walked back to the center of the stage. A clear voice rang out, declaring, "Since Elder Zhong has said so, we can only conclude that Wang Ye truly cured the patient's neck spine disease."
"Therefore, the winner of this round of competition is naturally—Wang Ye!"
The crowd below was silent.
They were still immersed in the deep shock this news had brought them.
And they were convinced of Wang Ye's victory in the second round.
The host's voice continued:
"Of course, the scores for the first two rounds add up to twenty-five points each, making a total of just fifty points."
"The third round, however, is worth fifty points."
"Thus, it's not a guarantee that Wang Ye will take first place in this feast of Traditional Chinese Medicine; he could very well be overtaken in the third round."
"And Wang Ye's formidable opponent is Elder Zhong."
"Next, we'll see whether the old adage 'the ginger gets spicier with age' holds true, or if it will be a case of the new waves of the Yangtze River pushing the old waves ahead in the third round of competition."
The host spoke from above.
Meanwhile, the audience, still deeply shocked, began to come to their senses.
Their gaze towards Wang Ye now carried a thoughtful air.
They decided they must have a good discussion with Wang Ye after the event.
Although in their eyes, Wang Ye had won the victories in the first two rounds.
However, in the third round, Wang Ye was absolutely set to be defeated by Elder Zhong, leading to a comeback against the odds.
After all, in the first round, using silver needles, skill comes with practice. As long as one practiced enough, claiming first place wasn't a very difficult task.
And in the second round, perhaps Wang Ye had learned this massage technique from somewhere in the process before, which was why he was able to take first place in the second round.
But the next, the third round.
Was the real test of understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Prescribing medication.
As a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, the most basic and most important task is to prescribe medication.
After all, once a prescription is wrong, even if the dosage is only slightly different, it could very likely lead to a person's direct death.
And prescribing medication is also the project that most tests a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor's level of medical skill.
The most basic Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors merely know how to follow set patterns, prescribing medicine for patients according to medical texts.
Better Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors, however, understand that based on the different illnesses, some medicines in a prescription can be given in larger amounts, while others can be reduced, or even replaced
with something else.
And when a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor understands each herb and various pieces of knowledge to a certain extent, just by knowing the patient's condition, they could deduce what medicine should be prescribed and how to do it.
To create their own prescriptions.
The third segment of the competition was to prescribe medication for a new condition on one's own.
The one whose prescription had the best effect would naturally score the highest in the end.
And to prevent the opposition from being prepared, they would already have corresponding prescriptions for such conditions.
Therefore, the conditions for prescribing medication were not limited to just one.
But three.
In this way, even if someone luckily had the best method of prescription for one of the conditions, it was improbable that they would have the best for the other two.
This was the third segment that could most test a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor's medical expertise.
Based on this,
The people below felt that Wang Ye definitely could not win over Zhong Feng in the third segment.
Even so,
The people below still planned to foster a good relationship with Wang Ye after the competition, to get closer.
After all, Wang Ye was currently just a little over twenty years old.
At such a young age to have such profound medical knowledge.
His future was certainly very promising.
Even overtaking Elder Zhong in the future wasn't out of the question.
As for whether there was an even more skilled medical professional behind Wang Ye, those present had considered that too.
But what of it?
Getting close to Wang Ye was also equivalent to showing goodwill toward the most skilled individual behind him.
And the host above said at this moment:
"Now, the third round of the competition will begin."
"The three prescribing tasks for today are hypertension, hyperglycemia, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases."
As soon as the host had spoken,
The people below instantly began to buzz with excitement.
Everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded, and started to discuss among themselves.
