Three days later.
New Era Square, Jinling City.
Dozens of caras were set up at various angles in the square.
There were wide shots, dium shots, covering almost all areas, but of course, excluding the patients’ privacy.
At the sa ti, a bunch of social dia influencers were camping here, holding phone stands, filming and chatting.
This collaborative treatnt, under the dia’s intentional guidance, spread quickly.
Everyone was particularly looking forward to this public collaborative treatnt of diabetic foot, led by traditional Chinese dicine.
Because in everyone’s understanding, diabetic foot not only has life-threatening risks, but there is only one treatnt thod—amputation!
"Can traditional Chinese dicine really treat diabetic foot?"
"I don’t know, but since they’re doing a public collaborative treatnt, there must be a way. Otherwise, wouldn’t they just be setting themselves up for failure with all this fanfare?"
"That’s true, but how does Chinese dicine treat diabetic foot? I’ve heard most people have to have amputations, either just a toe or the entire foot, with so even losing their lower legs. It’s terribly frightening."
"Can’t hospitals treat this?"
"They can, I guess. I have a relative with diabetic foot who seems to have to go to the hospital to stay for about a month every so often."
"Going to the hospital all the ti ans it’s not cured."
"Sigh, aren’t all hospitals like that? Diabetics need to be on dication for life, let alone diabetic foot, which is even scarier."
"Can Chinese dicine cure diabetes?"
"I saw online that so say Chinese dicine can treat diabetes, but I’ve never seen it happen in reality. All I see are people hyping Chinese dicine everywhere."
"Have you ever gone to see a Chinese dicine practitioner?"
"No, why?"
"... Uh, nothing."
...
In New Era Square, quite a few people had already gathered to watch.
Even after three years of the pandemic, not many people knew what contributions Chinese dicine had made during that ti.
So, while curious about this public collaborative treatnt by Chinese dicine, people also questioned if it was effective.
Ti ticked by, and soon, several ambulances drove over from the distance.
Once the ambulances arrived, they started transporting patients one by one to the dical tents.
During the transportation, many managed to capture so shots of the patients’ legs and feet.
Especially so influencers, who zood in to get close-ups. When those ulcerated areas on the feet appeared on cara, they imdiately made many netizens uncomfortable.
It was disgusting.
There were holes in the soles of the feet, with pus and blood.
Many netizens complained, asking the strears not to do close-ups anymore, or they wouldn’t be able to eat breakfast.
However, because of these shots, most people also got a genuine look at the condition of the patients being brought in.
They’re serious!
"Strear, I’m a bit curious, with this kind of livestream, will these patients be watched all the ti? Doesn’t anyone care about privacy?"
"They must have signed agreents, just like when doctors in hospitals have to write papers on treatnts for a certain illness. They would first communicate with the patients of that illness to see if they are willing to cooperate, and then the hospital might waive the dical fees."
"That makes sense. If it were , as long as I don’t have to pay and the disease can be cured, being watched lying there doesn’t matter."
"It’s fine during the day, probably not at night. And even if there are caras, they’ll likely be zood in during treatnt. Official livestreams surely avoid too many details, unlike how closely strears film."
"Oh, look, they’re bringing stoves and herbal pots. Are they going to prepare traditional Chinese dicine on the spot?"
"..."
More and more patients and doctors arrived at the square.
Inside the dical tents, it soon beca lively.
Chinese dicine isn’t that complicated, and this ti acupuncture isn’t needed.
So, they just need to prepare herbal pots and stoves, and then bring in so traditional Chinese dicine each day.
Oh, and they need to prepare several foot basins too.
Throughout the whole day, the dical tents in the square were filled with patients.
In fact, there were far more patients than that.
When the hospital proposed that participating patients would have their dical fees reduced for cooperating with this collaborative treatnt event, many patients agreed without hesitation.
After all, they’re not the only ones being fild, and under normal circumstances, many of them might never get on TV in their lives.
Taking this opportunity not only to cure the illness, spend less money, but also to get a chance to be on TV.
Who would refuse?
So, this batch of patients today was only the first group, and many more patients had signed agreents for later.
Once all the patients were settled, the traditional Chinese dicine practitioners from various hospitals started using Lu Jiu’s internal and external treatnt thods, having the patients take dicine and soak their feet.
anwhile, on major online video platforms, everyone started scrambling to report on this event.
Official self-dia from various cities, without any promotional notification, spontaneously collected online videos and republished them on their accounts.
Thus, hundreds of dia outlets online simultaneously made noise, instantly pushing this large-scale Chinese dicine collaborative treatnt event in Jinling City to the trending searches.
Curious, many people flocked to Jinling TV Station’s official livestream room to watch the broadcast.
Of course, with a lot of people cos argunts.
Especially with Chinese dicine as it is inherently a heated topic.
So people praise it, so criticize it, and so stand in a neutral position, pleasing neither side.
But this argunt only fueled the hype even more.
Many forums were swept up in heated discussions about whether Chinese dicine can treat diabetic foot.
At the forefront was Zhihu.
Under this question, many well-known dical bloggers on Zhihu had already started writing lengthy discussions.
Things like how Chinese dicine hasn’t undergone double-blind experints, how there’s yet to be a case where Chinese dicine has cured diabetic foot—it was just citing various sources, reeling off data, with English terms popping up everywhere.
The entire response could be sumd up in two words.
Professional!
The subsequent comnts were similar, almost denouncing Chinese dicine as worthless in their words.
The online battle was continually fernting, though the reality was quite calm.
At least in Jinling City, major hospitals were still operating as usual.
For most doctors, the Chinese dicine collaborative treatnt had nothing to do with them.
In fact, many Western dicine practitioners applauded it.
After all, everyone is just an employee. If Chinese dicine can take on so of the pressure, why not?
The ones truly worried are those who want to profit from disease.
Once Chinese dicine can carve out a niche in the diabetes field, it would undoubtedly cut off the inco for those who already have a stake in the pie.
