Chapter 69 Great Rage
"You..."
Bai Doni was somewhat intimidated by the presence of Liu Wentian and was at a loss for words for a moment. Regaining his composure, he scoffed and said,
"What's wrong with relying on instruments? Instruments can display all kinds of problems in the human body, and through various parameters and data, we can clearly understand the patient's condition. As far as I know, so-called traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses patients by taking their pulse, right? Judging whether a person is ill based on their heart rate is simply unreliable! Some people say traditional Chinese medicine is nothing but a scam, and in my view, they're not wrong at all!"
"Ignoramus," Liu Wentian said coldly, glancing at him.
"What did you say? You dare to insult me?" Bai Doni erupted in anger.
"What's wrong with insulting you? You are an ignoramus, pretending to know things you don't. Who says traditional Chinese medicine only diagnoses by taking the pulse? Who says taking the pulse is about observing the heart rate? Taking the pulse, also known as checking the vein, is a method in traditional Chinese medicine where the practitioner uses their fingers to feel the pulse of the patient to detect changes in the vein-beat and to discern the functions of the viscera and whether there's a deficiency or stagnation of qi, blood and body fluid-essence.
Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses through observation, questioning, and pulse-taking, it's not just about taking the pulse. You're a layman pretending to be an expert, so what's wrong with calling you an ignoramus?" Liu Wentian replied coldly.
Bai Doni was left speechless, as he had always looked down on traditional Chinese medicine and knew little about it. At that moment, he had nothing to say but still retorted,
"Humph, save those trivial matters. No matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that Western medicine is much stronger than traditional Chinese medicine. Precise instruments can directly reveal problems inside the human body, whereas traditional Chinese medicine can only detect them once symptoms have manifested!"
"Oh, really? Since that's the case, can your so-called precise instruments detect your illness?" Liu Wentian asked with a smile, though it was a cold one.
"What illness could I possibly have? I'm not sick at all; there's nothing to detect," Bai Doni said dismissively. "I think you just can't win the argument with me and are trying to muddle through by slapping a random disease label on me, aren't you? Haha, that trick might scare patients but save it; you won't scare me!"
Liu Wentian's smile became strange, "You really are sick, mentally sick, there's something wrong with your brain."
"Scoundrel! You dare to insult me? You're the one who's mentally sick, not me. Not only am I not sick, but I am also much smarter than you. You're just jealous of me! You're definitely jealous because I graduated from Yale University Medical School, jealous that I'm better than you!" Bai Doni bellowed furiously.
The crowd was also puzzled as they looked at Liu Wentian. Bai Doni was a bright graduate of Yale University Medical School; how could he possibly be mentally ill? His brain was surely far smarter than most people's!
Liu Wentian chuckled and then held up a single finger, asking, "How many is this?"
The crowd was speechless, looking at Liu Wentian with an expression reserved for fools, thinking that he must be the one with a mental problem, for even a kindergarten child understands it's one!
Could it be that he was deliberately insulting Bai Doni?
Bai Doni, feeling insulted, bellowed, "Idiot! That's obviously two!!"
Suddenly, there was a deafening silence.
"Holy shit! What's happening?"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "That's two, are you blind?!"
"This guy, could there be something wrong with his eyes?"
"Could it be there's something wrong with his brain, and he really is mentally ill? Can a mentally ill person graduate from Yale University Medical School? Could his diploma be fake?"
"Claiming one finger is two, I think he is the fool! And he even performs surgery on patients; that's no less than plotting for money and murder!"
"..."
The crowd burst into discussion, pointing fingers and casting doubts at Bai Doni.
Upon hearing the people's words, Bai Doni's face changed, and he said with confusion, "What do you mean? It's clearly two fingers, how did it become one? Could it be that you can't tell the difference between one finger and two? Are you all blind?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
You and your whole family are the ones who are blind!
The crowd internally raged, concluding that this guy must really be crazy!!
Bai Doni once again looked at Liu Wentian's fingers, clearly seeing two, two index fingers!!
Wait, two index fingers?? Why does he have two index fingers on one hand!!
Bai Doni jumped in fright, then looked at Liu Wentian with a mixture of shock and anger, and bellowed, "Bastard, is this your doing?? What exactly is going on??"
Liu Wentian laughed, "I'm not a god, just a practitioner of Chinese medicine that you look down upon, how could I possibly pull any tricks? It's simple, your brain has problems, you're insane!!"
"You're the insane one!! It must be your doing, I'm going to fight you!!" Bai Doni roared in anger, ready to attack Liu Wentian.
Bang!!
Just when everyone thought the two were about to come to blows, suddenly Bai Doni's entire body collapsed to the ground, bottom up.
As the crowd was puzzled, thinking he had fallen over, Bai Doni's body twitched a few times, then started moving forward undulating like a snake.
This time, it scared the crowd out of their wits; their eyes nearly popped out!!
"Ah, what's happening to Bai Doni, he... he's moving forward like a snake!!" a nurse exclaimed.
"He... does he have some sort of strange disease??" a male doctor wondered.
"I knew it, I always suspected something was off with this guy, always acting so superior to Huaxia doctors, turns out he's a lunatic!!" another male doctor added insult to injury.
"..."
Bai Doni himself was nearly scared to death. He began to wonder, could it be that he was really sick??
He suspected Liu Wentian was behind it, but then thought it impossible; how could this man have such power!!
"I, why can't I control my body?? Could it be... could it really be that I'm sick??" Bai Doni said in terror.
Liu Wentian nodded, "Yes, you really are insane. Deep down in your subconscious, you fantasize that you are a huge snake, so now you have actually become one."
"So, what do I do now??" asked Bai Doni, filled with fear.
Liu Wentian said in surprise, "Eh, you're asking me?? I'm just a practitioner of Chinese medicine, how could I possibly understand??"
Bai Doni was almost in tears, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. What am I supposed to do now?? Meow, meow, meow..."
At the end, he did cry out of fear, could it be that he would have to crawl on the ground for the rest of his life?? That would be worse than death itself!!
Liu Wentian curled his lips, thinking if you can't handle the game, don't play with me.
"It's simple, get the hell back to your hometown, have someone immediately put you on a plane back to America, and you'll be cured. Scram, and don't come back to Huaxia!!"
Although Bai Doni was somewhat incredulous, he had no choice but to desperately try any possible remedy and immediately had someone book a plane ticket.
By this time, things like picking up girls were long forgotten; he couldn't even stand up, let alone pick up anyone!!
After Liu Wentian finished speaking, he walked away with Sheng Qianmei.
Upon reaching the hospital's exit, Sheng Qianmei couldn't help snickering, and said playfully, "Liu Wentian, you were the one who did it just now, weren't you?? You really know some incredible tricks, and you're particularly naughty!"
Liu Wentian claimed innocence, "It's not my fault, he's the one with a disease. With that self-righteous air of his, acting like he wants to walk with his nose in the air, if he's not a lunatic, what is he??"
