Chapter 622 Sudden Incident
A moment of silence fell over the surroundings, which was then instantly broken as if oil had been dropped into boiling water, erupting into a frenzy.
"It's really pierced through steel!"
"My heavens, a miracle!"
"Am I seeing things?"
"A miracle, a miracle of Chinese medicine, the rise of our nation's traditional Chinese medicine!"
Excited gazes converged on Chen Xuan, showering him with unrestrained praise.
In that moment, Chen Xuan was the hope of Chinese medicine in everyone's eyes! The future of Chinese medicine!
The heads of the Medical Association on stage, Qin Weizhong and others, suddenly stood up, trembling with excitement, and applauded Chen Xuan vigorously.
Chen Xuan's miraculous skill had conquered them!
It was important to remember that Chen Xuan was using a filiform needle, a silver needle, the most easily breakable. Yet, it had pierced a steel plate over a hundred times harder than its own material. This application of the filiform needle surpassed everyone's understanding, rendering the term "genius" inadequate.
"No, it must be fake. His silver needle didn't go in at all."
Elder Huang absolutely refused to believe that Chen Xuan could have inserted the silver needle.
Chen Xuan was so young; even if he had started learning in the womb...
Hearing this, Li Hongyan's hope reignited, and she couldn't help but grasp the silver needle.
The silver needle, like a thick strand of hair, had lifted a large steel plate weighing ten pounds! The sheer force was incredible!
"This force is like using a strand of hair to lift a bull, it's too powerful!"
"This young man must be the savior of our Chinese medicine community!"
The audience was filled with exclamations of astonishment. Some even saw Chen Xuan as the savior, the dawn of Chinese medicine!
Elder Huang was completely dumbfounded, a look of despair flashing in his eyes.
Li Hongyan, on the other hand, was devastated, her last hope dashed. However, seeing Chen Xuan's smug expression, she was extremely displeased. "What's so great about it? It's just sticking a needle into a metal plate."
Chen Xuan turned to Li Hongyan and said, "It's not that great, but you stuck a toothpick. You're going to be eliminated."
Li Hongyan's face turned ashen, as if she had eaten dirt!
Elder Huang had inserted his needle into a steel plate. Though it was askew, it had penetrated, far surpassing her attempt. As for Chen Xuan, there was no comparison.
She was going to be eliminated!
"In this round, Mr. Chen Xuan performed needling on a steel plate, Elder Huang on an iron plate, and Ms. Li on a toothpick. According to the competition rules, I announce that Chen Xuan and Elder Huang are advancing!"
At this moment, a staff member's voice rang out.
Li Hongyan was struck by lightning, her eyes filled with even more venom.
She had paid a price to temporarily improve her medical skills, intending to crush Chen Xuan and soar to fame as the King of Medicine.
But she never expected to be eliminated by Chen Xuan, all her sacrifices turning to dust!
Unwilling!
Angry!
But no matter how unwilling or angry she was, she had to leave, as security guards were already there to escort her out.
"Kid, you wait for me, this is not over!"
With that, Li Hongyan turned and left.
Elder Huang also recovered, staring at Chen Xuan, and sneered, "I admit you have some talent in acupuncture basics, but healing and saving lives are a doctor's primary duty. You won't be so lucky in the next round."
He had indeed lost to Chen Xuan in this round, but he was not eliminated, and he still had a chance.
As his second uncle had mentioned in the information, Chen Xuan indeed had some talent in acupuncture, but the second round was not a random draw but a practical rescue. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Apart from Elder Huang's confidence in his own abilities, he believed that Chen Xuan, having honed his filiform needle skills to such a degree, must have dedicated all his time to practicing acupuncture and had no time left for practicing patient care.
In the next round, Chen Xuan was bound to lose!
At this moment, a staff member suddenly said urgently, "I have an announcement to make. Half an hour ago, a chemical plant in the suburbs exploded, causing widespread severe burns to many workers. Their lives are in critical danger."
"Some patients could not be treated at the hospital and have been sent here. The treatment of these patients will be the test for the second round!"
The Medical Association had originally prepared patients with difficult and complex diseases from the provincial hospital as the competition topics for this round. However, with this unexpected incident, the competition content was changed at the last minute.
From the Medical Association's perspective, improvisation was also a significant test for a doctor.
Crucially, if a city experienced mass casualties due to an accident, the authorities would be held accountable. The provincial governor had a good relationship with President Qin, who then made a phone call, leading to the decision to change the competition content at the last minute.
Soon, ambulances with their sirens blaring rushed into the venue, forming a long line, indicating that the explosion had injured quite a number of people.
With a screech of brakes, one ambulance after another stopped nearby. The doors opened, and several doctors, carrying stretchers, rushed over with urgency.
Life was a matter of urgency!
Every moment saved could potentially save a life, and they were rushing as if their lives depended on it.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan felt a deeper sense of reverence for the medical professionals.
"Kid, these are burns. Do you want me to teach you some remedies for burns? I know dozens of ancient prescriptions for treating burns," Elder Huang said with a narrowed gaze and a mocking tone.
"Idiot!"
Chen Xuan responded coldly.
At this point, Elder Huang was not thinking about treating patients urgently but about undermining him. What right did such a person have to be the King of Medicine?
"How dare you insult me? Have you lost your mind?"
Elder Huang's face darkened, and he glared fiercely at Chen Xuan.
At this moment, a female doctor stepped forward, saying anxiously, "These patients have suffered extensive corrosive burns. We have already administered IV fluids to them... but their condition is worsening... Please, we beg you!"
Her voice was anxious yet clear and organized, detailing the patients' conditions and the medications they had received. It was evident she was a competent emergency doctor.
Seeing the patients arrive, Elder Huang stopped bothering Chen Xuan, but still maintained an arrogant posture.
After listening to the doctor, Chen Xuan quickly went over to examine the patients and felt their pulses. His expression immediately turned grave.
The patients' conditions were critical, and judging by their pulses, these patients did not seem to have simple burns but possibly an infectious disease.
The hospital had likely failed to realize that these patients were difficult to treat because they had contracted an infectious disease. kΑnshu伍.ξà
"Give me the silver needles!"
Chen Xuan urgently said to the female doctor.
"Oh!"
The female doctor took the silver needles from the table and quickly handed them to Chen Xuan.
Elder Huang, with extreme arrogance, looked down at Chen Xuan and said, "Chen Xuan, this is a competition. Did I allow you to examine them first? Do you understand hierarchy?"
"Fine, then you examine this patient first. I'll go look at other patients."
Chen Xuan was so exasperated he almost laughed. However, the patients' lives were hanging in the balance, so he didn't bother to argue further, uttering these words and turning to walk towards other patients.
With so many patients arriving, why did he have to be fixated on this one? It was truly nonsensical.
However, the true nonsensical behavior was yet to come.
Elder Huang, with extreme dominance, declared, "I will examine all these patients first, and only then will you be qualified to examine them!"
