Mad Doctor No. 9

Wang Tian grasped his hand: "Wang Tian."

Sun Qinian said, "Today's battle concerns the development of medicine. There are no personal grudges involved. Regardless of the outcome, I hope everyone can gain something from this."

That's what he said, but Wang Tian could sense contempt in his eyes.

At this point, the emcee spoke up: "Let's begin."

Three patients were brought in; all had late-stage liver cancer, their abdomens were very bloated, and their complexions were terrible.

Their families were all there, their faces filled with anxiety.

The assignments were decided by drawing lots: Patient No. 1 was assigned to Wang Tian, ​​Patient No. 2 to Sun Qinian, and Patient No. 3 was assigned to the control group receiving standard treatment.

"The rules of the competition are that one month later, we will assess the size of the tumor, the patient's quality of life, and improvements in various aspects of their health. Now, let's begin treatment."

Sun Qinian was the first to make a move.

He conducted a thorough examination of the patient and formulated a treatment plan: "First, use a PD-1 inhibitor, then supplement with chemotherapy, followed by interventional therapy..."

A modern treatment plan drew nods of approval from the experts present.

Then came Wang Tian.

Wang Tian did not rush to administer medicine, but instead first took the pulse, observed, and inquired about the diagnosis.

Then, he took out the Ice Soul Needle.

"I need to give the patient acupuncture to clear the meridians and relieve the pain."

"Treat cancer with acupuncture? Are you kidding me?"

Wang Tian ignored him and focused on administering the acupuncture.

He used the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Needle, hitting the mark every time, with perfect control over the depth, angle, and force.

As the acupuncture treatment progressed, Patient No. 1's breathing gradually became even, and his previously furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

"It hurts...it's better..." the patient mumbled.

"Really?!" The patient's family was overjoyed.

"Yes, my stomach isn't as bloated anymore."

The audience was completely silent.

The effects of acupuncture are visible to the naked eye.

After the acupuncture treatment, Wang Tian wrote out a prescription.

"This is 'Cancer-Dissolving Powder,' one dose daily, taken with warm water. Also, practice Qigong for one hour every day."

"Qigong? That's ridiculous!"

Wang Tian explained, "Qigong exercises can improve immunity and the internal environment. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes holistic treatment, rather than simply treating tumors."

Sun Qinian frowned and said, "Dr. Wang, the targeted drug you are using is not within the scope of our prescriptions."

Wang Tian said, "The rules don't prohibit the use of targeted drugs. If Dr. Sun is willing, you can give your patient some traditional Chinese medicine."

Sun Qinian was speechless.

He looked down on traditional Chinese medicine.

The first day has passed just like that.

The media rushed to report on the incident, and the internet was in chaos.

Supporters of traditional Chinese medicine believe Wang Tian's acupuncture skills are remarkable, supporters of Western medicine believe Sun Qinian's approach is scientific, while opponents of traditional Chinese medicine consider it a disaster.

Wang Tian didn't care about these things. He went to the hospital on time every day to give patients acupuncture, adjust their medicine, and teach them qigong.

A week later, the effects began to appear.

Patient No. 1's tumor has not shrunk, but his spirits have improved a lot. He can now walk around, has an appetite, and the pain is almost gone.

Patient No. 2's tumor shrank by 20%, but he experienced significant side effects: hair loss, nausea, weakness, and unbearable pain.

The condition of patient number 3 in the control group continued to deteriorate.

Another two weeks passed, and Patient 1's tumor had begun to shrink! Although it was only by ten percent, the trend was good. The patient's quality of life was also much better than that of Patient 2.

Sun Qinian could no longer remain silent.

He adjusted the treatment plan and increased the dosage, but patient number 2 had severely impaired liver function and had to temporarily stop taking the medication.

"I refuse to accept this!" someone from Changsheng Pharmaceuticals jumped out. "Wang Tian used targeted therapy; he cheated!"

"Targeted drugs are publicly available, and Dr. Sun can use them too," Wang Tian said calmly. "Besides, I mainly use traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture; targeted drugs are only supplementary."

After discussion by the expert panel, it was concluded that Wang Tian's treatment method was effective and did not violate any regulations.

By the third week, Patient 1's tumor had shrunk to 60%, and his liver function had also improved significantly. Even more surprisingly, his black hair had grown back, indicating that his bodily functions were recovering.

The family of patient number 2 withdrew their application because the side effects were too severe.

The outcome is decided.

But Changsheng Pharmaceutical did not give up.

The medication for Patient No. 1 was secretly tampered with by someone sent by Zhao Debiao...

It was 2 a.m. in the fourth week.

In the research room on the fifth floor of Huichuntang Medical Clinic, Wang Tian was still developing a new formula.

The desk lamp illuminated his focused profile, and beside him lay a pile of ancient books and notes.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was from a hospital.

"Dr. Wang, help! Patient number 1 has suddenly fallen into a coma, and his liver and kidney functions are severely damaged!" the on-duty doctor said anxiously.

Wang Tian's expression shifted: "I'll be right there!"

He grabbed his medical kit and ran outside. Zhang Qingyun and Guo Zi were also woken up and rushed to the hospital together.

In the ward, Patient Number One lay on the bed, his face dark and his breath weak.

The monitor showed that the patient's liver and kidney functions had reached a dangerous level.

"What's going on? It was fine during the day, wasn't it?" Wang Tian asked after checking it over.

"It was fine at nine o'clock, but it suddenly got worse at eleven o'clock."

Wang Tian frowned: "Poisoning?" The medicine he prescribed was absolutely foolproof and there would be no problem whatsoever.

He took out a drop of blood, put it under his nose, and smelled it.

"I've been drugged!"

The poisonous plant *Gelsemium elegans* is extremely potent; even a tiny amount can cause liver failure.

"Immediately pump out my stomach! Prepare the antidote!" Wang Tian said as he took out the Ice Soul Needle and inserted nine needles into the patient's vital acupoints to protect his heart.

After more than three hours of emergency treatment, the patient's condition finally stabilized, but the tumor continued to grow, and all the previous efforts were in vain.

"Wang Tian, ​​someone has poisoned his medicine," Zhang Qingyun said in a deep voice. "Tomorrow is the final match. If anything happens to the patient, you've lost."

A cold glint flashed in Wang Tian's eyes.

It's obvious without even thinking that Changsheng Pharmaceutical is behind this.

"Did you call the police?"

"Reported. Xiao Hao and his team are on their way."

As they were talking, Xiao Hao walked in with a serious expression: "Wang Tian, ​​I checked the surveillance footage. Between 8 and 9 p.m., a nurse wearing a mask came in to change a patient's IV drip. We found her, but she died in the back alley of the hospital."

"There's no evidence," Guo Zi said through gritted teeth. "Chang Sheng Pharmaceuticals is too ruthless."

Zhang Qingyun said, "I just don't know how the competition will be held tomorrow. The patient is in such a state that he definitely can't compete."

Wang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Go on. I'll treat him, and he can go on the field tomorrow."
