Noticing Leo’s sharp gaze, Hamiltion Robert suddenly paused and then remembered being kicked by Leo just moments ago. His tone immediately softened: “Leo Bloomer, don’t look at me like that. You’re quite impressive, why don’t you go ahead and treat the patient.”
Hamiltion Robert stepped back a few paces. Leo approached, squatted down, and extended his right hand to check the patient’s pulse.
The rest of the people present watched Leo with all their attention, eagerly awaiting the astonishing words Leo might utter next.
“Will Hamiltion Robert win this second round?”
“I’m a bit skeptical. If he loses this round too, it’ll prove his medical skills aren’t up to par.”
“Who would’ve thought that Fabian Alick, brought in by Mr. Winifred, and his disciple, couldn’t handle even a freeloading son-in-law!”
Soon, Leo completed his diagnosis.
Standing up from the ground, Leo addressed the crowd, saying, “This patient is not suffering from food poisoning but industrial alcohol poisoning.”
As these words were spoken, it was as if a giant stone had been thrown into a calm pond, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
The ones laughing the loudest were Fabian Alick and his disciple, Hamiltion Robert.
Jack also breathed a sigh of relief. He had expected the freeloading son-in-law to say something extraordinary, but Leo’s diagnosis of industrial alcohol poisoning was comical!
At this moment, Hamiltion Robert reacted as if he had just won a lottery, laughing heartily, “You fool! Where did you come up with industrial alcohol poisoning? You better not be messing around with us! No, let me laugh for a bit longer…”
Some of Jack’s crew whispered to each other. One of them said, “It seems like Leo isn’t as good as we thought. He made such a basic mistake, claiming it’s industrial alcohol poisoning when there’s no alcohol odor.”
Another chimed in, “I think Hamiltion Robert’s diagnosis is correct. In the end, Leo’s going to have to crawl between his legs. I’m going to record this interesting scene and post it online later.”
August furrowed his brows. He couldn’t help but wonder about the situation. It was clear to him that this second patient wasn’t suffering from industrial alcohol poisoning. Why did Leo make such a mistake? With Leo’s medical expertise, this was a puzzling error.
“Laugh as much as you want, because you’ll be crying later,” Leo’s lips curled slightly, and his expression remained calm.
Seeing Leo’s expression, Hamiltion Robert and Fabian Alick suddenly stopped laughing.
“Young man, stop showing off here. You’re just a mediocre practitioner. Don’t think you’re a great doctor just because you’ve learned a bit of half-baked medicine. Take a look in the mirror, and see what kind of person you are!” Fabian Alick ruthlessly criticized.
Leo merely cast a disdainful glance at Fabian Alick, and his eyes were full of contempt. He didn’t take Fabian Alick seriously at all.
Next, Leo’s icy gaze focused on Hamiltion Robert. He spoke slowly, “The patient has ingested a large amount of industrial alcohol. This kind of industrial alcohol, due to special processing, doesn’t have any alcoholic odor. Alcohol has severely damaged the patient’s liver function, resulting in toxic reactions and causing his coma.”
Leo finished explaining and, just like with the previous patient, retrieved a silver needle from his pocket. He started treating the patient through acupuncture, using a variation of the Nine Realms Mysterious Needle technique to target the patient’s liver.
Once again, the onlookers witnessed Leo’s extraordinary and masterful acupuncture skills.
After finishing the acupuncture, Leo took out a small pill bottle from his pocket and poured a pill into the patient’s mouth. He then channeled his energy to help the patient.
Hamiltion Robert, standing to the side, had cold sweat on his forehead. He repeatedly said, “Impossible, absolutely impossible…”
Fabian Alick’s face was tense, and he used this opportunity to launch verbal attacks on Leo, “Young man, you better pray that you can cure this patient’s illness, or you’ll end up rotting in jail for your mistreatment!”
As Fabian Alick was speaking, the patient lying on the stretcher suddenly started coughing violently. In the astonished gazes of everyone, the patient sat up and looked around in confusion.
“Where am I?” Nervous under the scrutiny of so many eyes, the patient stammered.
At this moment, everyone finally realized that Leo was correct.
Leo smiled at the patient and asked, “Do you remember how you fainted?”
The patient scratched his head, trying to recall, and replied, “I… I think I drank some counterfeit alcohol. Did you save me?”
Leo nodded and reminded him, “Yes, you shouldn’t drink recklessly in the future.”
The patient nodded profusely, saying, “Alright, thank you for saving me.”
At that moment, everyone looked at Leo as if he were an alien.
Hamiltion Robert was sitting on the ground, looking utterly defeated. He mumbled to himself like a madman, “It can’t be, this is impossible…”
Dr. Abraham, the one August had brought along, stared at Leo’s extraordinary medical skills and admired him immensely. He quickly approached Leo and bowed respectfully, saying, “Today, I had the honor of witnessing Dr. Bloomer’s remarkable medical skills. I’m deeply impressed. Would Dr. Bloomer be willing to impart some knowledge to me?”
Leo grinned and replied, “If you have the time, you can visit my clinic, the Nameless Chinese Medicine Clinic, and we can exchange our experiences there.”
Then, Leo waved to the patient, saying, “You can go home now and rest, but you mustn’t drink alcohol for a month.”
“Okay, thank you, divine doctor,” the patient said gratefully and left the Extensive Martial Arts Training Center.
After the patient had left, August approached Leo and expressed his gratitude, saying, “Leo, you’ve worked hard today.”
August then turned to Jack and asked, “Winifred, what are your thoughts now?”
“August, in this medical competition, you’ve won. You can continue to be arrogant,” Jack reluctantly admitted, faced with the undeniable facts.
Leo’s cold gaze was directed at Fabian Alick and Hamiltion Robert. He said, “You two, don’t just stand there. Start your performance.”
Fabian Alick’s current expression was worse than if he had eaten something awful.
Hamiltion Robert, on the other hand, knelt in front of Fabian Alick, slapped his own face while pretending and cried out in self-blame, “It’s all my fault. It’s my lack of skills that led to this situation.”
