William, however, had a different attitude. He said in a neutral tone, “The wonders of traditional Chinese medicine should not be fabricated. Otherwise, this guy named Leo wouldn’t have been able to treat the dislocated joint barehanded back at the clinic.”
Leo’s methods displayed at the unnamed traditional Chinese medicine clinic deeply impressed William, who had some pride in the field of orthopedics.
The other man, seeing William taking a neutral stance, said discontentedly, “William, treating dislocations might indeed be Leo’s strong suit, but the things he lectured about just now, like diagnosing internal ailments by observing with the naked eye, are simply ethereal!”
Monica stood up from her seat, casting a malicious look at Leo, and said loudly, “Professor Bloomer, everyone is looking forward to witnessing the inspection technique you just talked about. Why not show us a bit, broaden our horizons?”
A male student in the front row, who liked to show off, also raised his hand and said with a slightly playful tone, “Professor Bloomer, many young people nowadays suffer from subhealth. Since there are so many students in the classroom, how about you help us check it out? Let us witness this inspection technique firsthand.”
This student’s name was Juan, coming from a well-off family. The news about Leo lecturing and President Freeman inviting Leo, both originated from his casual inquiries.
At the same time, this guy was also the most skeptical of Leo because he couldn’t stand Leo winning the favor of female students. In this traditional Chinese medicine university, Juan considered himself the school’s heartthrob. All the female students naturally liked him, and he had quite a fan following.
Leo knew that if he didn’t show some skill now, he wouldn’t be able to control these students.
“Well, I will personally demonstrate the inspection technique in traditional Chinese medicine for you.” Leo closed the textbook, then walked to the first row and began examining the students from left to right.
The students stared wide-eyed, and some in the back even stood up, craning their necks to see.
“You’ve been experiencing irritability and emotional instability lately, coupled with insomnia.”
“Your stomach often hurts, especially after meals. You have mild gastritis.”
“Open your mouth. You have a white and greasy tongue coating, frequent throat discomfort, lack of energy during the day, and night sweats. It indicates a deficiency in gallbladder.”
“Reduce phone use, exercise more, or you’ll have neck pain in middle age, restricting your movement.”
“This female student, your menstrual cycle is irregular, likely due to liver-spleen imbalance.”
“you’re in good shape, but your recent weight gain has been a bit fast. Eat fewer snacks.”
Leo moved from left to right, commenting while observing. Using only his naked eye, he accurately pointed out the symptoms on several students sitting in the first row.
To say it was accurate, the expressions on the faces of the students in the first row revealed that Leo’s inspection was spot on.
Some students in the back, still in disbelief, intentionally asked those in the first row.
They quickly learned from the students in the front row that Leo’s diagnosis was absolutely correct.
At this point, the students in the classroom were shocked, mixed with admiration, for Leo’s inspection technique. The female students, in particular, had their eyes fixed on Leo’s face, sparkling with admiration, almost writing “infatuation” on their faces.
What Leo demonstrated just now with the inspection technique was incredibly cool!
The guys no longer harbored animosity towards Leo. Instead, a thought crossed their minds – if they could master Leo’s extraordinary inspection technique, they could impress both in romantic relationships and their careers, soaring to new heights.
In their admiration for Leo, the guys were eager for him to teach them this unique inspection skill.
Monica and others in the back row were naturally astonished by Leo’s inspection technique.
For the foreigners, the situation, inexplicable by science, was incomprehensible. Their minds were filled with countless whys.
Though Monica had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, her actual exposure was limited, and deep down, she wasn’t optimistic about it. However, today, right in this classroom, she witnessed a young Chinese medicine practitioner demonstrate an almost magical diagnostic ability.
“Professor Bloomer, can you check me too? I’ve been feeling unwell these past few days.”
“And me, Professor Bloomer, could you please take a look at my condition?”
“…”
Seeing the students so enthusiastic, Leo hurriedly waved his hand, “There are so many of you. If I examine each one, it’ll take until nightfall. Let’s leave it at this for today; I’ll do more inspections when I have time.”
“Professor Bloomer, you’re amazing! Can we learn the inspection technique you just demonstrated?”
“Yeah, Professor Bloomer, how long does it take to diagnose like you did?”
“I think traditional Chinese medicine is the coolest. Choosing to study Chinese medicine is indeed a wise decision!”
“Professor Bloomer is even cooler. Professor Bloomer, do you have a girlfriend?”
The entire lecture hall erupted once again, with all sorts of questions. At this rate, Leo’s students might even figure out the color of his underwear.
Leo quickly gestured for quiet and then spoke loudly, “Classmates, as long as you study diligently, research diligently, you can also learn the inspection technique I just talked about.”
“Inspection is a basic skill that a Chinese medicine practitioner should possess. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound, not easy to learn, understand, or master. However, I can assure you that with dedicated learning, practical effort, you will surely achieve success!”
Seeing the students below, inspired by the inspection he demonstrated, Leo felt quite pleased.
Leo’s words touched Monica’s sensitive nerve. Inappropriately, she stood up from her seat once again and, with a slightly mocking tone, said, “Professor Bloomer, I admit your inspection just now was amazing, but you don’t have to exaggerate so much, praising traditional Chinese medicine as so magnificent and powerful. Don’t you know that many illnesses can only be treated by Western medicine? And your proud traditional Chinese medicine is helpless.”
In the face of Monica’s deliberate provocation, Leo responded with a smile, “President Monica, then you tell me which illnesses traditional Chinese medicine can’t handle.”
“From what I know, traditional Chinese medicine’s methods for stopping bleeding are lousy. Also, it falls short in emergency situations. Let me give you an example. If a patient has a ruptured artery and is bleeding profusely, only Western medical techniques, such as suturing the wound and blood transfusion, can save the patient’s life. But if you let traditional Chinese medicine handle it, I dare say that by the time you stop the bleeding, the patient would likely be dead.” Monica said this with a thick sense of pride.
