After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Uh... this..."

Yi Yunfei's face flushed red and then turned pale, so embarrassed he wished he could disappear into the ground.

The experts looked extremely displeased; this was a public humiliation!

Lin Li glanced at their expressions and gave a silent, cold laugh.

Bai Nian'an looked at her father, her voice a little hoarse: "Dad, do you see this? This is the current predicament of ancient doctors."

"It's not that others look down on us, it's that we ourselves have driven ourselves to a dead end."

……

Although he was verbally abused by passersby, the free clinic had to continue.

After all, the banners have been put up and the media has been invited, so we can't just give up halfway.

After what just happened, the atmosphere at the scene became even more somber and awkward.

Bai Mingjian's face turned gloomy, his daughter's words kept ringing in his ears, and he found them extremely grating.

"Master, please don't be angry."

Yi Yunfei leaned closer, refilling his teacup while whispering, "Junior Sister is just too naive; she was fooled by that kid surnamed Lin."

"If a patient comes later, we'll show off our real skills and that'll definitely shut that kid up. Junior Sister will definitely change her mind."

Bai Mingjian snorted and didn't say anything, but his eyes kept glancing at Lin Li, who was sitting not far away playing on his phone.

It was almost noon, and still no patients came for consultation.

Just as the experts were packing up to go to lunch, a black Audi A8 pulled up on the side of the square.

First, a woman dressed in a black business suit and wearing large sunglasses got off the car. She glanced at the square and then carefully helped an elderly woman out of the back seat.

The old lady was wearing a silk Tang suit, her neck was crooked, her face was a little swollen, and she looked like she was in pain. She gasped for breath with every step she took.

"Mom, slow down."

Su Lin helped the old lady up. "The doctor at the free clinic is over there."

The old lady groaned and said, "Ouch...it hurts so much...what kind of awful illness is this...I've seen so many doctors but it's still not getting better..."

Yi Yunfei's eyes lit up when he saw Su Lin. Judging from their clothes and appearance, these two were definitely wealthy and important clients!

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Before the other experts could react, he immediately went to greet them with a very professional expression.

Su Lin helped the old lady sit down, took off her sunglasses, and glanced at Yi Yunfei: "Are you an expert?"

"I am Yi Yunfei, one of the directors of the Capital Ancient Medicine Association."

Yi Yunfei looked proud and pointed to Bai Mingjian behind him, "That is my mentor, Mr. Bai, the president of the Ancient Medicine Association."

Su Lin nodded, her tone softening slightly: "My mom has had neck pain for many years, and it's gotten worse recently. Her face is swollen, and she has a terrible headache."

"I've been to many hospitals, but the X-rays couldn't show anything serious. They said it was neuralgia, and the medication didn't work."

"Neuralgia?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Yunfei smiled confidently: "That's how Western medicine works, treating the symptom rather than the cause. Come, let me take your pulse."

After saying that, he reached out and placed his hand on the old lady's wrist to take her pulse.

After a while, Yi Yunfei suddenly frowned.

The old lady's pulse... is very erratic.

The strings are thin and numerous, yet also tinged with a deep, dull quality, resembling wind-cold-dampness syndrome, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and even showing signs of liver yang hyperactivity.

What the hell is this disease?

Five or six minutes later, Yi Yunfei began to sweat.

Although he had some family background in education, he was young and inexperienced, and was completely at a loss when faced with such a complex and difficult problem.

"What happened to my mom? Doctor?"

Su Lin asked somewhat impatiently.

"this……"

Yi Yunfei withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly: "This old lady's illness... is indeed a bit complicated. Judging from her pulse, she has a lot of dampness in her body and her meridians are blocked..."

"nonsense!"

The old woman had a fiery temper and retorted, "Who doesn't know my meridians are blocked? If they were cleared, would I still be in pain? I'm just asking you, can you cure me?!"

"It can be cured! Of course it can be cured!"

Yi Yunfei forced a smile and said, "However, just to be on the safe side, I suggest... I suggest that the lady get an MRI to check if her cervical spine is compressing a nerve..."

"They're filming another movie?!"

The old lady exploded upon hearing this, slamming her hand on the table: "I've taken eight hundred X-rays already! You doctors, you can't diagnose without machines, can you?"

"This is what they call ancient medicine? I think it's no different from those doctors in hospitals who just write prescriptions!"

Yi Yunfei was scolded mercilessly and looked to his master for help.

Bai Mingjian sighed, knowing that his apprentice couldn't handle the situation, so he had to take matters into his own hands.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health."

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed on several points on the old lady's cervical spine, Fengchi acupoint, and Jianjing acupoint.

"Ouch! That hurts! Be gentle!"

The old woman screamed in agony.

Bai Mingjian withdrew his hand and said with a solemn expression, "Sister-in-law, this is a typical case of bone pain, which is what Western medicine calls cervical spondylosis. In addition, the wind, cold and dampness have been invading your body for many years, which has formed a stubborn lesion."

"Can it be cured?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lin immediately asked.

"It can be cured, but..."

Bai Mingjian paused deliberately, looking troubled: "This disease has been around for too long, and ordinary methods are simply ineffective. To relieve the pain, we must use strong medicine."

"What kind of potent medicine?"

"Fire needle".

Bai Mingjian said in a deep voice, "Use a red-hot, thick needle to directly pierce the affected area, using the heat to dispel cold and dampness and unblock the meridians. However..."

He glanced at the old lady before continuing, "The process is very painful, and because a thick needle is used, it may leave some scars on your neck."

"Moreover, this only provides temporary relief; it's probably very difficult to completely eradicate the problem, given that people are getting older and their bones have already set."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately became angry again.

"What kind of lousy medical skills are these! They make me suffer, don't cure me, and leave scars? Am I some kind of guinea pig for you to experiment on?"

She pointed at Bai Mingjian's nose and yelled, "I think you're all a bunch of quacks! Let's go! Linlin, let's go! We're not going to see you anymore!"

Su Lin also looked disappointed and helped the old lady up to leave.

"etc."

Just then, a male voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned around and saw Lin Li walking over.

"Use fire needles?"

He glanced at Bai Mingjian and said with some disdain, "Mr. Bai, do you think this old lady has lived too long?"

"What did you say?!"

Bai Mingjian was furious, feeling that this kid was just looking for trouble!

"The neck is densely populated with blood vessels and nerves. The old lady is getting old, and her blood vessels are hardened. If you use a thick needle or fire needle to blindly puncture, once you stimulate the nerves or blood vessels, it can cause facial paralysis at best, and stroke at worst."

Lin Li pointed to the old lady's somewhat swollen face, "Moreover, this is not a simple case of bone pain, but rather a case of muscle and tendon adhesions caused by cold stagnation and blood stasis."

"Forcibly breaking it open with fire needles will only cause greater trauma, leave permanent scars, and it will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. It will recur soon, and it may even be more painful than it is now."
