“I confirmed again and again that I did not miss anything, so I suspected that the question was so simple, there was nothing special, and there was nothing to hide.” Zachary said.
“You really think so. After all, this is the examination of the imperial hospital in the capital!” Zhao Gonghong said to Zachary.
Zachary smiled and said, “When I first got this idea, I was not sure. Because as you said, this is a question given by the Imperial Hospital in Jingcheng City, one of the four famous doctors. How could it be so simple? But then I carefully considered it several times to make sure that I didn’t find anything special. I confirmed this answer.”
“Moreover, after I said the answer after that, Director Zhao, you specifically said that the question is not so simple. If I was only 80% sure before, then after that, I am 100% sure.” Zachary smiled and said.
“Oh, what do you mean?” Zhao Gonghong asked.
Zachary smiled and said, “Although you and I are not familiar with Director Zhao, it has been less than half an hour since I came in. Director Zhao, you are very gentle. You have been smiling all the time, and you rarely interfere with others’ conversations. When I answered the questions, you added one more sentence, which is somewhat in line with your character.”
“In addition, in the end, when I’ve finished my answer, do you want to ask me if I’m sure? So I’m sure that the second question you asked is not about medical skills, but the psychological quality of a doctor,” Zachary said.
Zhao Gonghong heard the words and nodded. He clapped his hands and said, “Good, good, very good! You have analyzed very well. This is the second question. I deliberately put such a simple question behind the previous questions to consider the mindset and persistence of a doctor.”
“As a doctor, it is not enough to only master medical skills. At the critical moment, you need to have confidence and persistence in your own medical skills, not blindly adhere to authority, and not believe in celebrities. Compared with the improvement of medical skills, the improvement of these psychological factors is more difficult and precious.”
“Of course, without a solid medical foundation, blind confidence will only hurt people.”
“I used to ask a lot of people from other countries, including my disciples, to answer this question. However, over 90% of them would doubt it after being questioned by me. They would not insist on their own ideas. They would try to figure out the identity and intention of the person who made the question. They would not pay attention to the question itself. There were only five people who could answer the last question, including you today. It was very good!” Zhao Gonghong once again said it was very good.
At this moment, the disciples behind him looked at Zachary with more kindness and admiration. However, the eyes of Qiu Xin and the disciples of the Gobi Desert were not so good, especially the middle-aged man who had just asked the question. The way he looked at Zachary was even a little resentful.
Because he used to be one of the people who got the wrong answer to Zhao Gonghong’s question.
“Very good! Zachary is very good. I have no problem with this.” Zhao Gonghong said with a smile and then looked at Qiu Xin.
Qiu Xin snorted, and his face was not very good-looking. He said, “I answered two questions just now. It’s okay.”
“But those are all theoretical things, and traditional Chinese medicine is a practical question. So, at the end of the day, it will be a practical treatment.” Qiu Xin rolled up her eyelids, looked at Zachary and said, “So, the last question I give you is to put it into practice.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Xin’s disciple moved up a human model, which was densely covered with all kinds of tendons, meridians, and small holes. It seemed to be tools for acupuncture practice.
Qiuxin pointed to the human model and said, “Acupuncture is the most commonly used skill in traditional Chinese medicine, so I test your acupuncture techniques. This human model is to describe the real human body, and to draw the acupoints and tendons. Wait a minute, this human model will be covered with a film, and then you need to put the needle according to my requirements. You can pass the pass if you meet the requirements. Do you understand?”
Zachary didn’t trust Qiu Xin as much as Zhao Gonghong. He thought about Qiu Xin’s words carefully and asked, “Then Director Qiu, may I ask, how can you meet the standard?”
Executive Qiu’s face suddenly changed and said, “I said it’s OK if you’re qualified!”
Hearing this, Zachary couldn’t help frowning. Executive Qiu had been very dissatisfied with him since he entered the door. If he deliberately made things difficult for him, then he would never reach the standard.
“If you don’t want to answer the questions, get out of here. This is the Royal Hospital, not a random little doctor can come in,” Qiu Lin shouted coldly.
Zachary was so angry that he couldn’t wait to slap the table and leave immediately. However, when he thought that it was Huo Lei who invited him here, if he really left, Huo Lei would find it hard to deal with it.
Therefore, Zachary suppressed his anger and said, “Then let’s get to the point.”
At this moment, Zhao Gonghong said, “Zachary, you can rest assured. Director Qiu has excellent medical skills, and the people present are all experts in the Chinese Medicine industry. If we work together as advisors, there will naturally be no problems.”
Obviously, Director Zhao was standing on Zachary’s side. Executive Qiu’s standard which was independent and failed to meet the standard was used by all staff members to make a decision together. This prevented Qiu Xin from deliberately making things difficult for Zachary.
Zachary gave Director Zhao a grateful look, and then his eyes fell on the model of the human body. He saw several disciples of Qiu Xin holding a layer of elastic film that was similar to the skin of the human body and covering the model.
Soon, the model of the human body was covered by this film, and the tendons, vessels, and acupoints marked inside couldn’t be seen.
Qiu Xin said at this moment, “First of all, it’s the basic skill of identifying acupoints. The eleven acupoints of Hand-Taiyin are marked with silver needles.”
This was more difficult than ordinary acupuncture points. After all, it was concentrated on the area of Hand-Taiyin. But it was not a problem for Zachary. He quickly operated the silver needles and inserted the eleven silver needles into the corresponding acupuncture points in less than a minute.
And those disciples of Qiu Xin, who stared at Zachary and was ready to find fault with him, also changed their faces slightly. Because Zachary’s inserting speed was extremely fast, and the technique was stable and standard. He was absolutely a master’s demeanor.
“The forty-five Yangming points!”
The problem had been upgraded to a higher level, but Zachary was still very familiar with it, smoothly inserting the 45 needles into the bottom of the human model’s feet.
Then, Qiu Xin constantly acupunctured Zachary’s acupoints, asking him to acupuncture Zachary.
However, no matter what acupuncture point was, Zachary could accurately and quickly insert the needle without any hesitation.
Twenty minutes later, the model was almost filled with silver needles. Qiu Xin finally stopped and made a gesture to the disciple behind her.
Several disciples came forward, took out a small basin of transparent liquid, stained it with cotton cloth, and began to wipe it on the human model.
As he wiped the liquid and seeped into it, the thin film actually dissolved, gradually dissolved, and finally disappeared.
A few minutes later, on such a large human model, the membrane had completely disappeared. He could clearly see the veins and acupoints on the model’s body.
After another ten minutes of examination, the last disciple announced to Qiu Xin, “All the silver needles are in the exact position, without any deviation.”
After that, Zhao Gonghong and the disciples behind him smiled and looked at Zachary with more admiration. It was only a basic skill to recognize acupoints and acupuncture needles, but it was not enough to be at Zachary’s level.
Qiu Xin and the disciple behind him didn’t look good. After a moment of silence, Qiu Xin said, “It’s just the most basic Kung Fu of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to identify acupoints and inject needles. It’s what you should do. It’s not a big deal. I’m going to test your level of acupuncture.” Qiu Xin looked at Zachary.
Zachary looked at him confidently and said, “I’m fine!”
Qiu Xin waved to a young disciple behind him and said, “Come out!”
The disciple walked to Zachary, rolled up his sleeves, and glared at Zachary.
Qiuxin said, “Human models are models after all, not real human bodies. Now, I’ve told you the same disease and you’ve treated it with acupuncture.”
Before Zachary agreed, Qiu Xin was the first to speak. “Your lungs are weak and cold!”
Zachary thought for a moment, then quickly found the right position and quickly inserted the needle.
Qiu Xin glanced at him and said nothing. It seemed that she was going to confirm the accuracy of Zachary’s needle technique.
“Your mouth is on fire.” Qiuxin said that she was ill again.
Zachary treated the disease with acupuncture. After more than a dozen diseases, Zachary put the needles into Zachary’s body precisely and quickly without any mistakes.
Even many disciples behind Qiu Xin were shocked to see this. After all, even they might not be able to pass all of this level of assessment.
At this moment, Qiu Xin suddenly paused and said, “The last one is Muscle Veins Poison!”
Zachary pondered for a moment before he began to put a needle in. According to the most common cases, he would directly put a needle out of the poison corresponding to the blood vessels. However, the key points of different vessels were different. If he put a needle in some key vessels, a slight mistake would reflect the function of the vessels and may even cause other diseases.
Therefore, Zachary changed his mind. He changed his mind for a while, and that was, he did not directly use the needle to expel the poison in Qin Haodong’s tendon and vessel. Instead, he did it according to the operation procedure of the tendon and vessel, and in a safer position, he used the needle to discharge the force and expel the poison.
Of course, this needle technique was even more demanding on the one who used the needle. This was because, in order to circulate the poison, one had to be able to regulate their Qi. This meant that they had to be at the level of the Fate Needle.
In this point alone, almost 99% of traditional Chinese medicine had been ruled out. Even so, if the breath was not strong enough, it couldn’t support the need for expelling toxins and even cause the toxin to spread.
Therefore, the requirement of this method was extremely high. Zachary was confident in himself, so he was able to put the needle into his body.
