ALS
To everyone's surprise, the two doctors of the two countries spoke in extremely fluent Chinese. What's more, they complemented each other in a subtle way, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand.
However, as soon as the two people spoke, the scene was filled with a loud noise.
"What the h*ll is going on? Even if Mr. Xiao wants to show up on the spot, it should be Mr. Xiao who will decide what kind of patients to treat. This Country M guy is too shameful. He wants Mr. Xiao to treat ASL on the spot with one word. That is one of the five extreme diseases in today's world! Even immortals can't see its effect on the spot, can they?"
"Yes, damn it. Why do I feel like they are on the same team? It's obvious that they're trying to make fun of Mr. Xiao!"
A lot of Hua Country's audience began to clamor. Everyone was not stupid. Who could not understand the meaning of their words?
Mr. Fan and Li Qingshan almost stood up and shouted abuse at him.
"Who the h*ll is this expert? A prank expert? Who has the ability to treat an ASL person on the spot?" Mr. Fan was so angry that his face turned red.
The female physician from South Korea, Yan Wu, had her almond-shaped eyes wide open. She slammed the table and stood up, looking as if she was about to fly into a rage.
However, before she could say anything, Xiao Yi had already shouted, "Mr. Wu!"
Xiao Yi's words were undoubtedly the best use in this world. As soon as Xiao Yi spoke, Yan Wu immediately let go of the representatives of the two countries and looked at Xiao Yi with bright eyes.
"I think the words of this representative from the Country M are not unreasonable!" Xiao Yi said calmly.
"What? Xiao Yi, are you crazy? Don't you know what ALS is?" Yan Wu frowned. She couldn't believe her ears.
The people present were also surprised. They didn't expect that Xiao Yi would accept such an unreasonable request from the representative of Country M. What happened to Xiao Yi?
Xiao Yi did not explain anything. Instead, he turned to Li Qingshan, the director, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, please find me an ASL patient right now! I think in the Affiliated Hospital of Hua Country Medical University, there won't be a shortage of patients like this."
Li Qingshan didn't expect Xiao Yi completely ignore others' ulterior motives. He really wanted to find an ASL patient for himself. He couldn't help but be stunned. He wanted to say, "Xiao Yi, you should consider carefully. If you are not careful, you will ruin your reputation and become the laughingstock of others. Then there is no doubt that it will bring shame to traditional Chinese medicine and even Hua Country." However, these kinds of words could not be said in such a situation anyway.
Seeing the determination in Xiao Yi's eyes, Li Qingshan knew that since he had made up his mind, there was no possibility of going back.
Under the eyes of the public, Li Qingshan could only secretly sigh. He immediately called the ward to arrange for an ASL patient to come over immediately.
As soon as Li Qingshan finished the phone call, the scene was filled with a loud noise.
"Heavens, is Mr. Xiao really going to treat an ASL patient on the spot? How is this possible?"
"It's difficult for him to get down there. Obviously, he was fooled. First, it was Jiang Huaiwen. Then it was the representatives from Country M and Country J; what the h*ll? Why are there so few people who can't stand others' good side?"
"Jealous? Obviously, they are jealous! It is obvious that they are jealous of Mr. Xiao."
"But what should Mr. Xiao do next? ASL is like cancer, which is simply an incurable disease. How can he test it on the spot? It's inevitable that it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, Mr. Xiao will lose his face completely. It's impossible for him to do so on the spot."
The crowd was talking, and some were worried about Xiao Yi. Of course, some people were gloating, waiting for Xiao Yi to make a fool of himself.
Among them, Jiang Huaiwen, the representatives of Country M and Country J had the same expression on their faces. Their eyes were bright, and their lips had a faint smile. They were saying, "Boy, I'd like to see what you're going to do next. You know it's a trap, but you still have to jump in."
"Mr. Li, what should we do?" Mr. Fan was so anxious that he sweated. He couldn't help but ask Li Qingshan.
At this moment, Li Qingshan didn't feel any better. In the face of such a question from Mr. Fan, he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart. He comforted him and said, "I can only hope that Xiao Yi can do something on the spot... Alas, but, that's ASL!"
Li Qingshan himself didn't believe his words of comfort. He even prayed in his heart that he wouldn't be able to find a patient who was suffering from ASL so that they could put this matter aside.
However, god obviously did not hear Li Qingshan's prayer. At this moment, the door of the meeting venue rang, and two doctors from the affiliated hospital pushed a wheelchair and rushed in.
In the wheelchair was a young man in his twenties and half-squatting. He could not move his whole body and was accompanied by his excited family members.
A group of four people hurried to the front of Li Qingshan's old dean. The two doctors said dutifully, "Mr. Li, we have brought you the casebooks of the ASL patient you asked for. Did we delay time?"
"Alas!" This was Li Qingshan's first time in his life. He hoped that his subordinate would not do his job with due diligence.
However, since this was the case, he could only say to the two doctors, "Well, thank you for your hard work. Leave the patient here and you go back first."
"Yes." The two doctors didn't understand why the old dean actually sighed, but they left immediately.
They had left the young man and his mother.
"Mr. Li, why did you call us here?" Obviously, it was the first time that the patient's mother appeared on such a grand occasion. Her face turned pale, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she couldn't help asking.
"Madam, your son met a good chance. Don't you see? This is an international medical exchange. Your son has been selected as today's case and can be treated for free!" Li Qingshan patiently explained.
"Ah?" She was so happy to hear that. All the world-class top doctors were here, so how could these world-class experts treat her son's illness for free?
She was so excited that she trembled all over. She couldn't help glancing at the doctors present with extraordinary temperaments, and her heart was filled with ecstasy.
While she was wondering which country the doctor was coming from to treat his son, he saw an ordinary-looking young Chinese doctor walking to him and saying, "Bring the patient over. I'll take a look!"
"Ah? Isn't he a world-class top expert? Is he a young Chinese?" The patient's mother saw Xiao Yi approaching and the ecstasy on her face couldn't help from getting anxious.
Compared to the other doctors present, Xiao Yi looked too young.
In the face of the questions from the patient's family, Xiao Yi nodded. Without saying anything, he reached out and pressed the patient's wrist. With his eyes slightly closed, Xiao Yi started to diagnose his disease.
"It's a traditional Chinese doctor?" Her joy instantly turned cold. "What world-class expert is he? Is he clearly a little Chinese medicine doctor?"
How could Xiao Yi not notice the changes in the mood of the patient's mother? But, how could Xiao Yi take it to heart?
Looking around the scene, Xiao Yi actually strode toward the Korea team.
Yan Wu was staring at Xiao Yi with her beautiful eyes, but she didn't expect Xiao Yi was walking toward her. Her heart suddenly jumped, and her mouth opened slightly because of excitement and nervousness.
Xiao Yi slowly walked in front of Yan Wu, slightly cupped his hands, and said, "Dr. Yan, I remember you are good at using a long needle. I wonder if you can lend me that one-foot-long needle?"
"Oh, of course!" Yan Wu said. She hurriedly took out a one-foot-long needle from the specially-made needle bag she carried with her and handed it to Xiao Yi.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yi smiled. Taking the long needle, he turned around and returned to the patient's side.
However, Yan Wu did not immediately sit down. Instead, she grabbed her needle bag, followed behind Xiao Yi, and came to the centre of the field.
Xiao Yi looked at her in confusion.
"Xiao Yi, I'll help you!" Yan Wu was afraid that Xiao Yi would say something, so she immediately said.
Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, but he could only allow her to do so. He could not repeatedly cause a woman to lose her face in public.
When Yan Wu saw that Xiao Yi did not push her away, she was so happy. Her face suddenly became bright, which made all the men present envious.
"Young man, how many years have you been sick?" Xiao Yi didn't care about Yan Wu's joy. He had already talked with the patient in the wheelchair.
"Three years!" The young man was unable to move at all, but his tone was not too passive. After listening to Xiao Yi's question, he answered simply, and then he said, "Three years have passed, and it has become more and more serious. In the past, my left hand could still move a little, but now, it can't move at all. It's a waste. It's difficult for my mother."
The young man couldn't move his body, but his eyes turned slightly to his mother, full of gratitude and apology.
His mother's eyes turned red when she heard his words. Thinking about the hardships her son had suffered in the past three years, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
"Haha, you are pessimistic and desperate when you are seriously ill. You are still thinking about your family's difficulties. It can be seen that you're not only a filial person but also a determined person. I'm already more confident in my heart." Xiao Yi nodded his head and did not hesitate to praise him.
"Doctor, please feel free to treat me. That will be my fate if you can cure me. I trust you." There was a sense of freedom in the young man's words, which was really different from that of the ordinary patients he had seen.
