Mad Doctor No. 9

"Unbalanced." Wang Tian adopted a defensive stance. "His left shoulder is two centimeters lower than his right shoulder, so there's a 70% chance he'll break through from the right side."

Zhao Zixuan was startled. He did want to rush to the right, but Wang Tian easily intercepted the ball.

A collective gasp rippled through the audience.

Is this assistant coach really that good at playing ball?

Zhao Zixuan was enraged and began to use petty tricks such as elbowing, tripping, and tearing clothes.

Strangely, every time he tried to do something, he would inexplicably fail or be countered.

During a layup attempt, Zhao Zixuan deliberately bumped Wang Tian's lower abdomen with his knee.

Wang Tian slightly shifted his body, causing Zhao Zixuan to lose his balance and be thrown off the field, looking utterly disheveled.

Zhao Zixuan got up from the ground, pointed at Wang Tian, ​​and said, "You..."

Wang Tian said innocently, "You fell down yourself."

Everyone could tell at a glance that Zhao Zixuan was no match for his opponent and couldn't accept defeat.

Qin Yuwei's roommate muttered quietly, "I didn't expect Assistant Wang to be so amazing, even more amazing than that Zhao Zixuan."

The game ended quickly.

Zhao Zixuan slunk away.

But this is not the end.

A week later, a message appeared on the school's bulletin board: Registration for the National Clinical Skills Competition for Universities of Traditional Chinese Medicine has begun, and Jiangnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been awarded three places.

Professor Li approached Wang Tian: "Xiao Wang, the school has decided that you will lead the team for this competition. Qin Yuwei and Zhao Zixuan are both on the team."

"Zhao Zixuan?" Wang Tian frowned.

Professor Li said helplessly, "But he's also one of the candidates. You're the team leader, so you have the decision-making power. This competition is of great significance; it concerns the school's reputation."

Wang Tian pondered for a moment and then agreed.

He wanted to see what kind of talent the current TCM education system could produce.

Training has begun.

Zhao Zixuan really does oppose him at every turn.

"Team Leader Wang, my suggestion is to focus on my rehabilitation medicine theory, supplemented by acupuncture and massage," Zhao Zixuan said during the first discussion.

Wang Tian said, "This competition tests comprehensive clinical skills in traditional Chinese medicine, rather than just theoretical knowledge."

"However, traditional Chinese medicine needs to be innovative! Don't always stick to the same old methods!" Zhao Zixuan's voice suddenly rose.

Qin Yuwei couldn't stand it anymore. "Zhao Zixuan, how long have you been studying traditional Chinese medicine? When my master... Captain Wang was practicing medicine, you were still playing rugby in the UK. Isn't that a good comparison?"

Zhao Zixuan glared at him angrily: "You!"

Wang Tian waved his hand and said, "How about we have a mock competition? I'll be the examiner, and we'll each treat a patient and see whose medical skills are better."

Case simulation: A "patient" complained of lower back pain for three months and limited physical activity. Western medical examinations did not find any organ damage.

The first to appear was Zhao Zixuan.

"Your lower back strain requires physical therapy and core muscle training. Let me teach you a few rehabilitation exercises..."

The patient moved as instructed, frowning. "It still hurts."

Next up is Qin Yuwei.

She carefully examined the acupoints, then inserted needles into Yanglingquan, Weizhong, and Chengshan, and massaged them.

Ten minutes later, a look of surprise appeared on the "patient's" face, and they said, "I'm better! I can bend over now!"

High judgment.

Zhao Zixuan retorted, "That's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause!"

Qin Yuwei asked, "So you want to solve this problem at its root?"

Zhao Zixuan: "I..."

Wang Tian said, "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes treating both the symptoms and the root cause. In urgent cases, treat the symptoms; in less urgent cases, treat the root cause. First, relieve the pain, then nourish the body. Zhao, you should know that traditional Chinese medicine is not built up by theory, but proven through practice."

Zhao Zixuan walked out with a gloomy expression.

That night, Qin Yuwei approached Wang Tian: "Master, Zhao Zixuan seems to be acting strangely. He secretly made several phone calls today, as if he wanted to contact someone."

Wang Tian's expression was solemn: "Understood. Keep an eye on things, but be careful."

He had noticed it long ago.

Zhao Zixuan carried a faint smell of disinfectant, the smell of the Eternal Life Society's laboratory.

Although it was very faint, he still managed to catch it.

This playboy is probably more than just a spoiled brat.

The National Clinical Skills Competition for Colleges of Traditional Chinese Medicine kicked off in Beijing.

The arrival of the team from Jiangnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine immediately attracted a lot of attention, because Wang Tian looked very young and more like a student than a teacher.

The draw results are in, and the first round draw resulted in the previous year's champion – Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The competition consists of three parts: theoretical Q&A, prescription identification, and on-site diagnosis.

Zhao Zixuan, after all, had received rigorous training in the United States, and his performance in terms of theory was quite good.

However, he slipped up when identifying prescriptions, because he only knew the Latin names of many classic prescriptions but not their ingredients and effects.

Fortunately, Qin Yuwei caught up in time, preventing her score from dropping.

For the most crucial on-site diagnosis, the organizing committee invited three real patients, namely three patients with difficult and complicated diseases, to be diagnosed and scored by two groups in turn.

The first patient was around 50 years old and presented with migratory pain throughout his body for two years. He was diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome by Western medicine, but treatment was ineffective.

The Beijing team was the first to take the field.

Based on a comprehensive diagnosis using the four diagnostic methods, Zhimu Decoction was prescribed for treatment.

Half an hour after the patient took the medication, the pain was reduced by 30%.

The Jiangnan team has entered the game.

Zhao Zixuan took the pulse first and said, "It's rheumatic arthralgia. Take Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang."

Wang Tian frowned and said, "Your pulse is weak and your tongue is red with little coating, which indicates yin deficiency and internal heat, not wind-cold-dampness syndrome. Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang is warming and drying, and it is not suitable for your condition."

"I'm a team member! I have the right to express my opinion!" Zhao Zixuan persisted.

The two started arguing.

The judges all shook their heads.

In the end, Wang Tian compromised: "Alright, let's try your plan first."

Sure enough, after taking the medicine, the patient did not improve; instead, he became thirsty, irritable, and restless.

The referee deducted points.

The second patient, and the Beijing team scored another goal.

The Jiangnan team lagged behind.

The third patient is the most important.

The patient is a young male who has been experiencing diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss for the past six months. All his tests have come back normal, but his body is becoming increasingly weak.

The Beijing team diagnosed him with "spleen deficiency and dampness" and treated him with Ginseng, Poria and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder.

The patient showed slight improvement after taking the medication, but there was no significant therapeutic effect.

This time, Zhao Zixuan did not act rashly, but instead focused his attention on Wang Tian.

After a careful examination, Wang Tian found that the patient's pulse was somewhat abnormal; it appeared soft on the surface but was actually very wiry and hard deep inside.

The tongue coating is white, but the base of the tongue is bluish-purple.

Wang Tiandao said, "Stretch out your hand and let me see it."

The patient extends his hand.

Wang Tian noticed a thin black line at the base of his fingernail, a symptom of heavy metal poisoning!

Wang Tian asked, "What is your profession?"

I work in an electronics factory.

"What chemical substances did it come into contact with?"

"Soldering and stuff... Ah, I remember now! About six months ago, our workshop switched to a new batch of solder paste, and the smell was awful!"

Wang Tian suddenly realized.

This is because long-term heavy metal poisoning leads to impaired spleen and kidney function and poor blood circulation.
