Chapter 730: Chapter 727: Can’t Students Know Medical Skills?

Principal Yan furrowed his brow; he not only felt that this claim was absurd but also harbor some resentment towards Chen Xiaorou for saying it. If she had to find a reason, she should have found a better one. To say Lin Tian had come to treat someone—no three-year-old child would believe that. A high school student, what makes him qualified?

Lai Xiucheng, hearing that Lin Tian was here to treat He Mengxiang, thought he had heard wrong. But seeing Chen Xiaorou’s expression, which didn’t seem faked, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha..." Lai Xiucheng laughed as if he had heard the world’s funniest joke, laughing heartily.

His laughter even drew other girls over to watch the commotion, and as they noticed Lin Tian, the news spread, attracting more and more onlookers. Soon, the window and doorway were surrounded by people, but since Principal Yan was there, they didn’t dare enter.

"Why is that lecher Lao Lai laughing so arrogantly? What does he want to do?" a girl asked in a quiet voice.

"I don’t know; it’s definitely nothing good," another girl whispered in response.

"I vaguely heard this just now; it must be Senior Lin Tian going to treat that upperclassman, but Lao Lai looks down on Senior Lin Tian, so he started mocking him, that’s about what happened," a girl who might be from the neighboring dormitory explained quietly to the people around her.

"What, to dare to look down on Senior Lin Tian, that’s outrageous!" a younger student said indignantly.

"Exactly. I listened to Senior Lin Tian explain about weight loss downstairs just now and I thought it made a lot of sense," another younger student nodded and said.

Lai Xiucheng stopped laughing, glanced at the watching girls with a hint of a smile in his eyes. The more onlookers there were, the happier he was, as he wanted to humiliate Lin Tian in front of these girls who admired him.

Treat a patient? Lai Xiucheng sneered to himself, was that something a teenager could do?

"Doctor Lai, what are you laughing at!" Chen Xiaorou said with a frown and a displeased expression.

Lai Xiucheng glanced at Chen Xiaorou and chuckled, "I find it funny, so I laugh. What’s so strange about that?"

He turned back to Lin Tian and sneered, "A mere student, speaking grandly of medical practice, ridiculous, ridiculous. It’s not that I look down on you, but as a student, you should stick to your studies. Medicine is not something you’re qualified to meddle with."

How good Lin Tian’s medical skills were, Liu Wenxing knew best. That’s why he couldn’t stand others belittling Lin Tian and wanted to speak up for him, but Lin Tian pulled him back.

Lin Tian wasn’t angry; he simply said, "Doctor Lai, I know you practice Western medicine; I am just the opposite, having studied Huaxia medicine. Do you dare to pit yourself against this mere student?"

"Huaxia medicine?" Lai Xiucheng said disdainfully, as if his face was clearly etched with contempt for Huaxia medicine.

"Lin Tian, I’ll assume for the moment that you know medical treatment, but as for this Huaxia medicine, haha, does modern Huaxia medicine even exist? Huaxia medicine is dead; nowadays, it’s just about charlatans in Jianghu tricking people out of their money," Lai Xiucheng said lightly, full of scorn.

The moment he finished his words, it ignited everyone’s anger. If such a statement had come from a foreigner, it could be excused to some extent, as foreigners might not understand. But Lai Xiucheng, a native of Huaxia, belittling his own country’s medicine was unacceptable to everyone present.

"Doctor Lai, are you even a Huaxia person anymore, saying such forgetful and ungracious things!" A condemning voice came from the girls watching.

"Exactly, don’t think just because you learned some Western medicine you can forget where you came from. Without Huaxia medicine, you might not even be here!" more girls joined in the condemnation.

Lai Xiucheng laughed disdainfully and snorted, "Hmph, no matter how much you say, it’s useless. In the current medical world, whether Western medicine reigns supreme or Huaxia medicine does, you all know very well. In modern hospitals, do you even see doctors of Huaxia medicine?"

"Even if there are Huaxia medical practitioners, what can they do? You go see a Huaxia doctor, and they actually tell you to get blood tests, have an ultrasound. They don’t even use Huaxia medicine’s methods of inspection like looking, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking; instead, they rely on Western medicine’s diagnostic tools before prescribing medicine. Is this still Huaxia medicine? Hmph, do you still need to say more?" Lai Xiucheng spoke loudly, overshadowing everyone’s voices of condemnation.

The girls wanted to rebut his words, but they didn’t know what to say; a group of them were rendered speechless by a single person, so they could only turn their gaze to Lin Tian, hoping that he would chastise this forgetful school doctor.

Lin Tian didn’t waste his breath on condemnation. Instead, he said with a mild smile, "All the things you’ve said are useless. Let’s put the horse to the test and see if it’s a mule or a horse."

"Heh, I hope you’re not setting yourself up for embarrassment. I accept your challenge," Lai Xiucheng said confidently.

In his view, medical skills aren’t like school exams; just being good at studying doesn’t mean good medical skills, and besides, Lai Xiucheng didn’t believe at all that a senior high school student could practice medicine.

"To treat illness, one must first be able to diagnose it. If you can’t even identify the source of the illness, how can you talk about treatment? So let’s start with a diagnosis and determine what illness He Mengxiang is suffering from before talking about treatment," Lin Tian said calmly.

"This is common knowledge, you don’t need to remind me," Lai Xiucheng said dismissively.

Lin Tian ignored his arrogance and turned to He Mengxiang, "He Mengxiang, we still need your consent for this. If you nod, we’ll begin. If you’re not willing, there’s no need for us to continue this competition."

Lai Xiucheng mocked, "You’re friends, and to save your face, she’ll of course not agree so that you don’t get exposed."

"Doctor Lai, you’re the most disgraceful man I’ve ever met—no, you’re not a man at all, without a shred of decency. Ever since you came in, Lin Tian never defended himself, unlike you, constantly babbling annoyingly. If you’re going to make a diagnosis, just start. I believe in Lin Tian," He Mengxiang glanced at Lai Xiucheng with contempt.

Being called not a man by a girl in front of school leadership and so many female students, Lai Xiucheng’s face turned livid with anger. He very much wanted to lash out, but a cold look from Principal Yan silenced him.

"Lai Xiucheng, if you think I cannot practice medicine, that’s fine. But when we diagnose later, neither side is allowed to touch He Mengxiang. We can only make our judgment through observation and questioning to determine her condition. Do you dare to accept the first challenge?" Lin Tian provoked.

"No contact? Do you even understand Western medicine? How can I use a stethoscope without contact, how will I know her lung sounds, how will I know her heart rate, how can I check her temperature..." Lai Xiucheng furrowed his brow, protesting with a litany of reasons, thinking Lin Tian was playing a fool’s game.

"We’re being fair; I will also not touch her, nor take her pulse. If you believe you can’t accept the challenge, admit defeat now and just wait for the school to issue your notice of discipline. There’s no need to waste everyone’s time," Lin Tian said with disdain.
