Chapter 2175 Pulse Diagnosis in the New Era
Since meeting Bian Mu, Teng Daili thought she had been studying incredibly hard, but even so, she could clearly feel that everyone at the "Bian's" clinic still looked down on her to some extent.

Teng Daili has a decent personality and is good at grasping the key points. As long as she can learn something real from Bian Mu, that's enough. As for whether her temporary colleagues or even Bian Mu himself will look up to her, she shouldn't think too much about it.

After diligently honing her skills for a long time, Teng Daili believed she was far superior to her colleagues at the hospital. Later, after secretly comparing herself with other colleagues in the same department for more than half a year, Teng Daili finally concluded that she had learned a lot of real skills from Bian Mu.

She was initially quite nervous about the open recruitment, but... the subsequent developments completely exceeded her expectations, and she actually won first place! A well-deserved first place.

Teng Daili's long-buried pride resurfaced...

When the branch was first established, the sincere cooperation of Sun Zhengting and others greatly exceeded Teng Daili's expectations. Teng Daili immediately made up her mind to make some achievements, at least to make her former colleagues envious of her in the future.

When Teng Daili first met Mr. Tang, she had no intention of accepting the invitation. It was not for any other reason than that, although the two had never spoken a word to each other, she did know Mr. Tang's identity and his status in the domestic academic community.

Despite repeated refusals, Mr. Tang's personal assistant insisted that they trusted Teng Daili's medical skills. A few words of flattery quickly won Teng Daili over, and she found it difficult to refuse their hospitality. With a try-it-and-see attitude, she underwent the procedures of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.

Based on the diagnosis, Teng Daili felt that Mr. Tang's condition was a common phenomenon in elderly patients due to aging, and no other special lesions were found. Considering his status, Teng Daili carefully formulated a relatively gentle treatment plan with warming and nourishing as the core and slow conditioning.

The Tang family had their own professional doctor, who was also a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. After reviewing Teng Daili's treatment plan, they felt it was a very cautious and well-balanced approach, so they didn't think much of it. Given the widespread reputation of the "New Concept" clinic, the family members briefly discussed it and then strictly followed Teng Daili's medical advice and cooperated with the treatment for a period of time...

……

Seeing that Teng Daili's expression was somewhat uncertain, Bian Mu smiled and continued to explain, "That being said, we still need to talk openly about some technical issues today. Haven't had dinner yet? Why don't we go out and grab something to eat?"

"Okay, it's on me!"

"Then I'll let you go to all this trouble. Give your family a call so they won't worry. I've already spoken to Old Tang through someone. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll transfer all the follow-up matters to the main branch. Just give them a brief explanation, but don't make any absolute statements," Bian Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Teng Daili finally felt relieved and made a phone call home with a happy expression.

Bian Mu got up and went upstairs to change his clothes, chatting with the old chess friends on the second floor for a few minutes.

……

"Tianyin Pavilion," where Teng Daili's husband had opened a VIP account. Whenever their immediate family members came to visit, they would eat first and pay the bill later. As Teng Daili accompanied Bian Mugang into the lobby on the first floor, a female manager on duty greeted them with a smile and led them to a small private room on the second floor.

Bian Mu had some guesses about it, feeling that Doctor Teng was quite particular about his daily life, certainly not like an ordinary citizen. Dinner was light and simple; the two ordered a few dishes and chatted as they ate.

"Pulse diagnosis has actually entered a brand new era. Let me put it this way, when we worked together at the clinic, since we didn't know each other well, and you, being pampered at home, naturally refused to help with chores. Now I understand a bit. Your family is quite well-off in every way, so it's become a habit. We're different; we just felt you weren't a good person, and we drifted away from you without realizing it. Now it seems it was all a misunderstanding. So... I've hardly revealed a single word about the essence of pulse diagnosis under the new TCM medical background to you. After watching the whole thing, I realize I was indeed stingy. Today, I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to you." As she spoke, Bian Mu picked up her teacup and politely gestured.

Upon hearing this, Teng Daili immediately became flustered.

"Not at all, it's my fault for doing so poorly. I've never been able to get along with everyone. Sigh! It's all my fault. I've had it too easy growing up, and I thought that no matter where I went, someone would pamper me. I never expected... Well... could it be that the pulse diagnosis skills we have now are a bit too rudimentary? We tend to lose our touch when it really matters?!"

"It's not quite like that, but... the pulse diagnosis techniques you currently possess are indeed a bit insufficient. Let's take Mr. Tang's case as an example! After taking his pulse, you should have immediately and keenly sensed that he doesn't actually lack Yang energy. On the contrary, he has a surplus, the 'surplus' of 'profit'! In the old days, senior doctors called it 'excessive Yang waiting to be wasted.' In our professional terms, it means that Mr. Tang's Yang energy is deeply hidden within his Yin fluids. Therefore, when taking his pulse, you have to penetrate at least five levels. Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so let's be a little arrogant. If we really compare, our skills are no less than a CT scan! Do you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Teng Daili was immediately taken aback.

"This... I've never heard anyone say that... Does that mean... all these years, we've just been coasting along in clinical practice?"

"That's not quite right. This kind of thing is mainly related to our current medical outcome evaluation system. This topic is too big to discuss today! Let's talk about some more practical clinical experience regarding Old Tang's condition instead," Bian Mu replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Teng Daili felt a little deflated. The confidence that had just risen a few days ago was once again completely shattered.

However, she was quite stubborn. Since she was not as skilled as others, she might as well be a good student and learn properly. Otherwise, she would not be able to be the head of the new branch for long. She would return to the original hospital in disgrace. How could she face people in the future?
Female doctors, after all, have a unique mentality, which was something that even someone as intelligent as Bian Mu couldn't have anticipated.

"Then... what should be the correct course of action for Elder Tang?"

"Buyinjin!"

"Should we directly use gentle tonics?" Teng Daili quickly asked.

“No! Let’s start by replenishing our Qi!” Bian Mu replied with a smile.

“This… him, I mean, Elder Tang, it seems the old man’s yang energy is failing, so we’re directly replenishing his qi…” Teng Daili’s mind was a bit confused.

With a smile, Bian Mu did not answer directly, but instead told a short story.
