554: Chapter 554 Too Magical 554: Chapter 554 Too Magical The afternoon Chinese and Western medicine exchange meeting took place in the grand conference room of the Shangri-La Hotel, where over a hundred well-known media outlets had already taken their places early in anticipation.
Some smaller media reporters were turned away at the door; there simply wasn’t room for too many people, as that would lead to chaos.
With over a hundred renowned media outlets, there were about three hundred people gathered.
Adding security personnel and some specially invited guests to the mix, there were five or six hundred people present, making for a significant event.
However, this time, the organizing department and some city leaders did not attend.
They only sent a standing committee member and some officials to bolster the event.
The afternoon’s exchange topic was indeed about the treatment of late-stage liver cancer patients, just as the representatives of traditional Chinese medicine had guessed.
Losing a round in the morning was a significant blow to the Western medicine representatives, a humiliating defeat for them.
They should have triumphed at the outset, but an unexpected loss turned the tables.
Rescuing critically injured patients is a definitive stronghold of Western medicine, a fact even traditional Chinese medicine practitioners must admit.
But it was precisely this stronghold where they faced an unforeseen loss.
The outcry on the internet also left the Western medicine team feeling both angry and ashamed.
Thus, the afternoon battle was about revenge and a counterstrike by the Western medicine delegation.
The importance of this battle went without saying.
Hence, the Western medicine team turned to one of their trump cards—DHA5—in a prepared bid to use biomedical remedy for a strong counterattack and to reclaim their humiliation from the morning loss.
Confident as ever, the Western medicine team issued a strict mandate at their noon meeting: victory was the only option; failure was not permissible.
Another loss would mean the Western medicine team would utterly lose face, akin to trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.
The plan was to dig a pit for traditional Chinese medicine, but it was Western medicine that might fall in instead.
If successful, they would be hailed as heroes of Western medicine, lauded by America.
But a loss would significantly impact their futures.
“DHA5, our team invested three years combining the most advanced medical pharmaceutical technology of today, utilizing nanotechnology and new-era biotechnology.
This dose, just five grams, can completely cure a late-stage cancer patient on the brink of death, with no recurrent episodes.
Yesterday, I spoke about some aspects of DHA5, and today I will provide a most detailed and authoritative introduction, as well as prospects for DHA5’s future.
And our Chinese and Western medicine exchange this afternoon will focus on the treatment of late-stage cancer patients.” Nathan spoke eloquently, touting DHA5 as though it were the hand of God himself.
He did not let the morning’s defeat affect his mood; he was still filled with combativeness and brimming with confidence.
Nathan’s official and authoritative global debut presentation about DHA5 was astonishing and rapidly broadcast through various media channels to the world.
In a very short time, it garnered a tremendous response globally, effectively drawing the attention of the entire world to the Chinese and Western Medicine Exchange Meeting.
The official debut of DHA5 was sure to make history, marking a milestone in medical history.
Sounds of surprise, cheers, and approval surged like a tsunami.
After Nathan’s speech, two late-stage cancer patients were brought into the venue by the staff.
“These two patients were randomly chosen from all the late-stage liver cancer patients in Donglin City’s hospitals, and were personally verified by both Mr.
Pia and myself.
Detailed information about these two patients will be distributed to all media reporters shortly.
You are all welcome to investigate and verify this information.
Both patients have been treated in the hospital for over a month, so there can be no falsification.
I also hope you, the media friends, will truthfully report this information.
With the patients’ consent, their details can be released and subject to reports and scrutiny by all sectors of society.
If anything turns out to be untrue, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association will offer ten million in compensation.
If there are any questions from the media friends, ask them now; otherwise, let’s start the competition.” President Bi’s resounding voice echoed in the conference room.
The media reporters had no objections.
A compact machine, about the size of a slightly larger television set, was wheeled in.
Nathan approached and announced, “This is America’s most advanced cancer-detecting equipment, named: Qjojsjfl Lljl.
Everyone can look it up; it’s definitely listed as the most sophisticated equipment that can rapidly detect various cancers.
To give a good demonstration, I will use this machine to perform a comprehensive examination of these two patients on site, to reconfirm the authenticity of their conditions.”
The Western medicine team got busy and conducted a detailed examination of the two patients, with the data genuinely displayed on the machine.
After completing the detailed examination, Nathan looked around at the media reporters, his lips lifting slightly as he said, “I trust you all have seen the results of the examination firsthand.
We will keep this machine here, and it will remain in Donglin City.
If anyone from the media is interested, they are welcome to try it out later.
After this afternoon’s exchange is over, the machine will be transferred to Donglin First Hospital within sight of everyone, where further tests can be conducted.
According to the results, both patients are in the late stages of liver cancer, and according to hospital records, they most likely have no more than a month to live.
However, thank God, these individuals encountered us, and God will grant them renewed life.
Captain Tang, begin.”
“Alright, let’s begin.
But before we start, I have a few words to say,” Tangyu said.
“Please, go ahead,” Nathan said.
Tangyu looked at President Bi and spoke to Nathan, “Our President Bi also has mid to late-stage liver cancer.
My team can treat both patients at the same time, so I suggest including President Bi in the treatment as well.”
Nathan glanced at President Bi, and the conference room stirred at Tangyu’s words.
The president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association had liver cancer?
Pia’s gaze fell on President Bi; Bi Wanting felt a jolt and looked at Tangyu with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
“What, Captain Tang, are you trying to disrupt this balance with such a request?” Nathan asked.
Tangyu shook his head and said, “No, Captain Nathan, you misunderstand.
I did not make this request to disrupt the balance.
Instead, I want to more comprehensively showcase my team’s ability.
If we’re only treating one patient, I alone would suffice.
That’s why I have made this request.
Moreover, my proposal is that if we fail to cure even one of the patients, we shall consider it our loss.
How does that sound?”
“So, you’re giving us a chance to take advantage?” Nathan asked.
“If Captain Nathan insists on thinking this is an advantage, then I have nothing more to say.
However, I don’t believe it is.
If we must think so, then consider it a courtesy from us as the hosts; it does show our friendliness and hospitality, doesn’t it?” Tangyu said.
Nathan’s mouth curled into a strange smile, “Fine, since Captain Tang is so insistent, I won’t push the matter.
Let all the media present here bear witness, though it doesn’t really matter, as you are definitely going to lose this time.
We will be the ones treating the last three patients.
Heh heh, I now kind of understand Mr.
Tang’s intentions.
Well, we’re quite happy to oblige and help out.” What Nathan implied was that Tangyu had purposely pulled Chairman Bi into the mix, so that they could be the ones to treat Chairman Bi.
After all, DHA5 is extremely expensive and rare; it’s not something that can just be brought out casually.
Tangyu didn’t bother with further explanation; they could think what they liked.
“Chairman Bi, please come over for our examination, with so many media journalists present, we must ensure there is nothing for others to critique, right?
As you say in Huaxia Country, ‘leaving no stone unturned,’ correct?” Nathan said.
Chairman Bi sat there with an authoritative look, pondering something deep in his eyes.
He looked at Tangyu, and Tangyu looked back at him.
After a while, Chairman Bi got up and went over to the Western medicine team, where Nathan immediately had someone check on Chairman Bi.
The results came back quickly, and Nathan nodded, “Chairman Bi’s condition is indeed worsening; it has already progressed to the late stages.”
“Good, since you’ve also done your assessment, let’s begin,” Tangyu said.
“Let’s begin,” Nathan said with a sarcastic smile, his face full of confidence.
Tangyu addressed everyone, “I will treat that patient.
Doctor Rao and Doctor Xiao, the two of you will lead the treatment; everyone else, follow their instructions to assist.
I won’t go into the significance of this afternoon’s battle; if we win this fight, then we will have established an unbeatable foundation.”
“Okay,” everyone nodded in unison.
The cameras focused over to their side.
The treatment by the Western medicine representatives was quite straightforward, using Biomedical Remedy DHA5, just having the patient take it and then there was nothing more, a matter of a few seconds.
The eyes of the Western medicine team were also on Tangyu and his team.
Tangyu treated the patient using the Immortal Finger Technique.
Meanwhile, Rao Yuanzhi used the Holy Doctor’s Yin Yang Divine Needle and Nine Dragons Divine Needle, with Rao Yuanzhen assisting him.
Doctor Xiao used the Gu Insect Technique, which was very peculiar, with Yudie assisting her.
The others also did various tasks as instructed by Rao and Xiao, with Ye Mai, the Medicine King’s heir, naturally preparing the medicine.
The team worked together in perfect harmony.
“Oh God, what kind of bizarre medical practice is this, with so many terrifying insects?”
“The acupuncture techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine are actually quite impressive.”
“My goodness, how can there be so many scary bugs?
Won’t they bite the patient to death?
How could they be used for treatment?
Have they gone mad?”
“Is this medicine or witchcraft?
It feels like watching a horror movie; it’s hair-raising.”
“Is Tangyu any good at all?
Could it be that he can cure someone with late-stage cancer by himself?
Isn’t that a bit far-fetched?”
“It’s hard to say until the end.
I see that Tangyu and his team are full of confidence; it looks like they’re sure of themselves.
Didn’t you witness what happened in the morning?
Don’t underestimate Traditional Chinese Medicine; it’s profoundly vast and profound.
If even late-stage cancer can be cured, that would truly be miraculous.”
“Hmph, no matter what, they are bound to lose this time,” the people from the Western medicine team remained confident.
With a serious look, Nathan said, “Everyone, don’t celebrate too soon.
We can’t be overjoyed too early or become complacent.
This morning, it was because of that attitude that we lost.
This time, we cannot make the same mistake we did this morning.”
