Chapter 2420 - 2413: Your Whole Family Are Sea Turtles
"Don’t worry, we will definitely give it our all!"
"That’s right, the championship this time will be ours, Huaxi Hospital!"
"Our Dongshan Hospital will definitely take the championship!"
The audience was once again in a frenzy.
For that billion in research funding, for the limitless "check" offered by the nation’s head, they naturally put all their efforts.
"Everyone, aside from being a guest for this competition, I will also serve as a judge. Moreover, other than me, Li Shizhen, Bian Que, Chen Bowen, three renowned figures in the Huaxia medical world, will all attend."
The venue immediately erupted with excitement. These people are prestigious doctors nationally, each with a legendary reputation.
At this moment, the three renowned figures of the medical world appeared together, and the venue burst into thunderous applause, with cheers drowning everything out.
"To earn the recognition of these four is simply wonderful!"
"Becoming a disciple of one of them would be extraordinary!"
"I must strive to win this championship and then seize the opportunity from the head to become a disciple of a divine doctor."
Listening to the discussions from the audience, the four renowned figures of the medical world silently shook their heads. This medical exchange competition seems to be an exchange of medical skills, but there is a hidden extremely important task beneath it.
Everyone was surging with enthusiasm, except Wang Dadong and Mi Xue, who stood side by side with faint smiles on their faces.
"Mi Xue, do you have confidence in winning the championship?" Wang Dadong smiled and looked at Mi Xue beside him.
Mi Xue showed a helpless expression upon hearing this, "I’m just here for the experience. If I win the championship, there must be a ghost; perhaps Joanna has a chance."
"Mi Xue, don’t belittle yourself, you might not necessarily be worse than some people." Wang Dadong remarked as he intentionally glanced at Joanna nearby.
Joanna returned Wang Dadong’s look with a fierce glare.
"Rest assured, the championship is definitely mine."
"You can’t win a championship by mere talk." Wang Dadong laughed.
"Hmph, you’ll know when the time comes, hopefully, you won’t drag down Imperial Capital First People’s Hospital!"
A discussion broke out below, and the venue suddenly became noisy. Sun Siwen raised his hand to signal for quiet, "Ladies and gentlemen, the competition is about to start. This is also an opportunity to showcase your medical skills and a chance to make a name for yourself. Whatever skills you have, don’t keep them to yourself, show them to the fullest! Perhaps the championship will be yours!"
The venue immediately erupted with enthusiastic applause, and Sun Siwen stepped down from the podium amidst the applause, returning to the judge’s seat.
Then a beautiful host came up and spoke in a sweet voice, "The selection elimination round is about to begin. Our Huaxia Medical Skills emphasizes observing, listening, questioning, and feeling, which are fundamental skills in diagnosing diseases. Right now, ’observing’ will be tested, and the patient will come on stage."
A group of pretty nurses pushed a female elderly patient on stage in a wheelchair, her face yellow and emaciated, with white hair and a dazed look.
"Everyone, please note, you are to determine what disease this patient has and how many diseases, based solely on ’observation.’ Those who diagnose correctly are selected, those who diagnose incorrectly are immediately eliminated. The rule is that no one is allowed to interrogate the patient or physically contact the patient, only observation. You have ten minutes, and there’s paper and pen on each desk. Write your diagnostic results on the paper, sign your name, and then put it into the wooden box next to you," said the beautiful host.
The audience immediately began to discuss, "This old lady must be paralyzed, maybe had a stroke."
"Not necessarily, looking at her yellow, emaciated face, maybe it’s hepatitis or a stomach condition."
Wang Dadong immediately started observing the old lady.
He discovered the elderly woman suffered from numerous illnesses, nearing the point of entering a coffin.
Mi Xue watched for a short time and eventually said helplessly, "I think I better give up. I can only see that this old lady doesn’t look good, likely with a kidney disease."
Mi Xue wasn’t originally trained in traditional Chinese medicine, her observational skill was only surface-level, it was already quite difficult for her to detect the old lady’s kidney disease.
Seeing that Mi Xue wanted to withdraw, Wang Dadong smiled and said, "Mi Xue, if you don’t try, how will you know if you can make it or not?"
"Alright then."
Mi Xue picked up a slip of paper and wrote down that the old lady had a kidney disease, then put it into the wooden box.
Wang Dadong also wrote on a slip and tossed it into the box.
Seeing Joanna also put her paper into the box, Wang Dadong smiled and said, "Joanna, have you written yours too?"
"Of course, although I studied Western medicine, I have put a lot of effort into ’observing’ in traditional Chinese medicine," Joanna replied coldly.
"Oh, no wonder they call you a sea turtle!" Wang Dadong smiled.
"You’re the sea turtle, your whole family are sea turtles!"
Wang Dadong was slightly taken aback, "I didn’t expect that you just returned to the country and already know what ’sea turtle’ means."
"Nonsense, this term is also popular abroad!" Joanna said harshly.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the beautiful host said, "Stop submitting diagnostic results, now let’s invite the judges to critique the patient’s illness."
"In Huaxia, when it comes to the power of ’observing’, no one surpasses Elder Sun, so let’s have Brother Sun critique the patient’s illness," suggested Chen Bowen.
The audience immediately applauded, and Sun Siwen smiled and said, "Elder Chen overpraises me, then I’ll reluctantly give it a try. This patient has muscle shrinkage in the limbs; the duration on the wheelchair should exceed five years. Besides, the patient has a vacant look and an expressionless face, so I judge this patient must have undergone craniotomy and had half of the brain removed."
"Remarkable! Can even see that."
"Furthermore, the elderly’s skin is pale with a hint of purple, blood vessels are recessed, indicating a renal pathology, preliminarily diagnosed as uremia."
"It’s well-known, the area between the eyes is the heart. This place should not have horizontal lines, where there are horizontal lines mostly indicate poor heart condition, so the elderly also have heart disease."
"..."
Sun Siwen discussed eloquently, listing the diseases the elderly suffered one by one.
"Is Chairman Sun’s statement accurate? Let’s look at the patient’s medical record." Following the host’s words, the patient’s medical record appeared on the large screen in the middle of the podium.
Comparing it with Sun Siwen’s words, apart from the patient’s left leg having been fractured before, other conditions were exactly as Sun Siwen described.
"As expected of the Chairman of Huaxia Medical Association, based solely on observation, he could identify all the diseases the patient suffers with such precision."
"Alright, since we’ve all seen the diagnostic results, now let’s have the judges choose the shortlisted names." The beautiful host said.
There were 500 hospitals participating in this exchange competition, and the number of participants reached a staggering 2,200. Just the process of announcing results took more than two hours.
During the selection, the four judges frequently shook their heads, a disappointed expression evident on their faces.
