Chapter 2422 - 2415: Dragon Affliction
This test wasn’t too difficult for Wang Dadong, after all, his medical skills were well-known.
But it was relatively difficult for Mi Xue; among the four, her medical skills were undoubtedly the worst. Not to mention asking just one question, even if she asked ten questions, she might not be able to diagnose. Moreover, she had no idea what to ask.
"I don’t think I can get through this level." Mi Xue stuck her tongue out at Wang Dadong.
"Why?" Wang Dadong smiled as he looked at Mi Xue.
"Because I don’t even know what to ask." Mi Xue said somewhat embarrassed.
"Then just don’t ask anything."
Soon, both Wang Dadong and Mi Xue passed.
As expected, Mi Xue didn’t ask the patient about their condition.
Mi Xue’s actions once again attracted the attention of the four Ghost Doctors.
However, Wang Dadong pretended to ask the patient a question.
The inquiry quickly ended, leaving only fifty-three people in the final round, including Wang Dadong and Joanna. Most astonishingly, Mi Xue passed as well.
Jack’s eyeballs almost fell out in surprise; he didn’t expect Wang Dadong to pass three tests.
Jack could understand why Mi Xue passed. After all, Mi Xue had once cured the ’Dragon Coil’ that even Joanna couldn’t heal on the train. But how did Wang Dadong also manage to pass?
After three tests, over two thousand people were reduced to just fifty-three; most were eliminated.
Even Mi Xue, being somewhat naive, realized that Wang Dadong was helping her, as the answer was quietly given to her by Wang Dadong.
"Now we proceed to the fourth test ’Pulse,’ which involves feeling the pulse. The patient extends only one hand and cannot be seen; you can only feel the pulse. The time is five seconds. Write the diagnosis on paper and place it in a wooden box."
The audience was in an uproar; diagnosing by feeling the pulse within five seconds is indeed difficult; it requires not only perfection in skill but also acute observation ability.
When Mi Xue’s turn came among the forty-six people, she didn’t feel the pulse and simply moved on, causing an immediate commotion below.
"This lady is amazing; last time she didn’t ask questions and could diagnose the condition, this time she can diagnose without even feeling the pulse?"
"This guy might be doing this on purpose to draw attention, it’s just a show!"
"If it were just for show, how could she have passed the third level?"
The audience was buzzing, Sun Siwen didn’t speak this time, but his gaze mostly stayed on Mi Xue. The other three Divine Doctors occasionally looked towards Mi Xue.
This made Mi Xue’s pretty face blush; the feeling was akin to cheating on an exam. Because the reason she could diagnose without questioning or feeling the pulse was entirely due to Wang Dadong’s secret assistance, it was practically like having a cheat code.
Finally, Sun Siwen announced the qualifying list; among the fifty-three people, only fifteen remained, including Wang Dadong, Joanna, and Mi Xue.
Mi Xue’s actions finally caught the experts’ attention.
"Miss Mi Xue, you’ve neither questioned nor felt the pulse; how do you know the condition?" An expert couldn’t resist asking the question that had been lingering in his mind.
Mi Xue was so nervous her hands didn’t know where to go.
At that moment, Wang Dadong held Mi Xue’s hand.
Then Wang Dadong’s voice sounded in Mi Xue’s mind, "Teacher Mi Xue, just say what I teach you."
Mi Xue trusted Wang Dadong unconditionally and immediately followed his instructions.
"The reason I don’t need to feel the pulse is that I can listen to the pulse."
"Listen to the pulse?" Many people showed a confused expression on their faces.
The term ’listen to the pulse’ seemed like something they’d never heard before.
"It means I can hear the patient’s pulse beating, so I don’t need to feel; I just need to listen," Mi Xue said nervously.
’Listen to the pulse’ was complete nonsense, taught to her by Wang Dadong.
"Oh my, can someone hear the pulse beating? That’s too difficult."
Joanna finally looked at Mi Xue with new respect; before Mi Xue cured the ’Dragon Coil,’ Joanna thought Mi Xue was just a cat that caught a mouse by chance, but now she realized this woman wasn’t simple.
"However, I, Joanna, also am not easy to deal with; the championship of this conference is definitely mine!" Joanna’s eyes revealed strong confidence. She must win the championship, and she must get the championship!
Otherwise...
The final test naturally is actual treatment.
"Being able to reach this point, without a doubt, you all are elite among elites, but for doctors, the greatest skill is not just diagnosing the patient’s condition; being able to heal them is the true skill," echoed the substantial voice of Chairman Sun from the loudspeaker.
The ultimate goal of diagnosis is treatment; if one can only diagnose but cannot treat, then everything else is cloud.
"Chairman Sun, let’s start soon; we’re already impatient."
"The championship is definitely ours!"
Fifteen doctors hailing from a total of seven hospitals, all renowned institutions nationwide, no doubt they all possess extraordinary skills.
"This final competition is very simple; we have prepared a total of one hundred and fifty patients, each with different diseases, with difficulty ranging from level 1 to level 10. Getting a level 1 difficulty patient healed earns 1 point, level 2 difficulty gets 2 points, and so on, the highest one patient can yield 10 points. The one with the highest points at the end will be the champion," the director announced.
This final competition is more like a team race, calculating the results by total team score.
"As for the difficulty of each patient, it won’t be revealed until you heal the patient, so whether you can select a high-scoring patient depends on your skill. But I must remind you that the higher the score, the more difficult the treatment will be. Moreover, if you fail to heal the patient, points will be deducted, so everyone must act within their means..."
From the rules, this final stage is an absolute power competition. Failing to heal the selected patient not only prevents the team from gaining points but also deducts points.
To save time, scores are tallied in real-time, with the rankings updated instantaneously on the LCD screen at the podium. The reason for ranking is not only because the champion has a tempting grand prize but second and third places also have excellent prizes.
The competition began quickly. This time, everyone was cautious, avoiding random patient selections.
A few minutes later, the LCD screen showed the first person’s name.
NO.1: Pang Zhonghua 5 points.
"That’s too fast, just five minutes and he already healed a patient with a difficulty factor of 5." Many people couldn’t help but feel astonished.
