"Rules are dead, but people are alive; a dical license sotis can't prove anything. Especially in an ergency situation, we should not rigidly adhere to protocols but handle things on a case-by-case basis. Besides, Director Ge is acting with good intentions—how can you doubt him? Is he really going to deceive you? Could he possibly have co here with the deliberate intention of harming Governor Sang?" Upon hearing this, Director Zheng's face darkened slightly, showing a trace of dissatisfaction as he glanced at the experts in the eting room.
Director Zheng's other remarks were dismissed by the people in the conference room.
That was Deputy Governor Sang, after all. Who would dare to make an exception and let a Chinese dicine practitioner without a dical license ddle in his treatnt? Only if they were out of their mind!
However, Director Zheng's last statent struck them like a thunderclap, jolting them awake.
Indeed, that was Deputy Governor Sang. Who would dare to co here to harm him? If Director Ge wasn't really capable, how would he dare to intervene in Deputy Governor Sang's treatnt?
Of course, this was only hindsight. If Director Zheng hadn't treated Ge Dongxu with the deference due from a subordinate to a superior, even if they clearly understood this, they would never have taken Ge Dongxu seriously.
"Yes, Director Zheng is right. We were stuck in a rigid thought pattern and failed to appreciate Director Ge's good intentions. We ask Mr. Ge not to take offense," the experts quickly apologized to Ge Dongxu.
However, it was not difficult to detect from their words that these Western dicine experts still harbored doubts about Ge Dongxu's dical skills, hence referring to his actions as good intentions rather than acknowledging any excellence in his dical expertise.
"Director Ge, please don't be upset by my attitude just now. I now formally invite you to join the consultation for my husband and ask that you accept this invitation," Feng Yaping said to Ge Dongxu, bowing sincerely and earnestly.
"No bla attaches to the ignorant. I accept your invitation. But as a practitioner of traditional Chinese dicine, I still need to take Governor Sang's pulse myself to reach a conclusion," Ge Dongxu stated.
When Ge Dongxu said this, a look of skepticism flickered across the faces of the experts in the eting room.
The testing equipnt and thods of Western dicine are universally acknowledged as the most advanced and accurate. Even in Chinese dicine hospitals, many practitioners of traditional Chinese dicine, after taking a patient's pulse, would still recomnd an ultrasound or similar diagnostic test.
After all, machines are not prone to error, but the diagnosis can be mistaken due to the doctor's abilities or the patient's varying physical condition.
However, this ti, even though the experts were skeptical at heart, none dared to admonish Ge Dongxu outright; so even nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Right, right, for Deputy Governor Sang's condition, we indeed need Director Ge to take his pulse before we can conclude."
"Director Ge, the angiographic images are already quite clear; Elder Sang's condition is indeed as Director Li stated. If you were to take his pulse, the diagnosis would be the sa. What I want to know now is whether you think, with your traditional Chinese dicine skills, conservative treatnt is an option for Elder Sang's condition? If you also say there is no way, then I don't want to delay any longer. Because every minute we waste, Elder Sang is at greater risk," Feng Yaping said, involving her husband in this matter, not hiding her doubts due to Ge Dongxu's change in status and giving voice to her thoughts after a mont's deliberation.
"President Feng, I heard from Professor Tang on the way here that you are the president of the University of Chinese dicine and also trained in traditional Chinese dicine. You must know that traditional Chinese dicine emphasizes looking at the whole. The current angiographic images only show Deputy Governor Sang's heart condition; they can't show what's really going on with him as a whole. And these images can only provide a rough outline of the heart; the true minute changes within must be determined through traditional Chinese thods of inspection, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking," Ge Dongxu countered with a wave of his hand.
"President Feng, I can say that Director Ge's dical skills are the most impressive I've ever seen. I once had a patient with a severe heart condition, who had been seen by countless doctors, both Chinese and Western, and even had a National dical Master from the capital try to help, all to no avail, but after Director Ge's intervention, the patient has now completely recovered. It's precisely for this reason that I took the liberty of inviting Director Ge. So whatever Mr. Ge says, please do as he suggests. Should there be any problem, I will take full responsibility," Tang Yiyuan interjected with a serious face, preempting Feng Yaping as her lips seed to move, as if she were about to raise another doubt.
"Thank you, Director Ge, and thank you, Professor Tang. My lack of proficiency prompted my earlier doubts. From now on, I will fully trust Director Ge. Should there be any issue, I will take responsibility; it has nothing to do with Director Ge and Professor Tang," Feng Yaping said decisively, a woman with considerable resolve who imdiately responded with a firm tone after hearing Tang Yiyuan speak to such an extent.
"Let's wait until I have had a look; perhaps I too will be powerless, as the heart is not like other organs," Ge Dongxu said indifferently.
```
The Western dical experts secretly sneered upon hearing this, convinced that Ge Dongxu had begun to look for a way out.
They simply did not believe that such a severe heart problem could be cured by Traditional Chinese dicine.
At this mont, Governor Sang was in the intensive care unit, connected to nurous devices and inhaling oxygen, though his consciousness was still clear.
Seeing a crowd escort a young man into the room, which even included his wife and the head of the Public Security Departnt, Zheng, Governor Sang's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
Feng Yaping knew the cause of Governor Sang's confusion and went up to the bedside to whisper an explanation in his ear.
When Governor Sang heard that even Director Zheng addressed Ge Dongxu as "Director," a look of shock appeared on his face, and his gaze turned toward Director Zheng, seemingly seeking confirmation from him.
Director Zheng evidently understood what Governor Sang was implying and nodded slightly at him, giving an affirmative answer.
After receiving the confirmation, Governor Sang turned his gaze towards Ge Dongxu and struggled to sit up.
"Professor Tang and President Feng stay behind; the rest of you, please step outside," Ge Dongxu said, stepping forward to pat Governor Sang, signaling him not to move.
Since Director Zheng addressed Ge Dongxu as "Director," who else would dare to not follow his instruction? So, they all withdrew from the room.
Once everyone had left, Ge Dongxu placed his hand on Governor Sang's wrist pulse.
A wisp of True Qi quietly entered Governor Sang's ridians through his fingers, moving along the Hand Shaoyin Heart ridian towards Governor Sang's heart.
At this point, Ge Dongxu's expression beca quite serious as he carefully directed the wisp of True Qi to check on Governor Sang's heart condition.
Governor Sang's heart condition, as the Western dical expert had said, was very bleak.
Of course, that was in the eyes of the Western dical experts. For Ge Dongxu, even a year or two ago, he would have been able to treat such a condition conservatively with Traditional Chinese dicine, although the treatnt period would have been quite lengthy, possibly taking several years. But now, with an Air Cyclone developed in the heart and True Qi moving in and out of it, Ge Dongxu's understanding of the heart had far surpassed his past knowledge. Moreover, with the inherited dical skills from Ge Hong, what seed to Western dical experts as a very bleak heart condition was, in Ge Dongxu's eyes, much easier to treat than Elder Feng's condition.
Elder Feng's condition was deep-rooted and intricately complex, while Governor Sang's was relatively simple, being only a heart problem.
After assessing Governor Sang's condition, Ge Dongxu quietly breathed a sigh of relief and then released Governor Sang's wrist.
"Director Ge, how is Elder Sang's condition? Is conservative treatnt possible?" Feng Yaping asked urgently as soon as Ge Dongxu let go.
