Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

Sun Xiaoyan came out of the infusion room, still holding a stainless steel tray in her hand.

She stood at the very edge of the crowd, her tray resting on a bench in the corridor. Her gaze swept over the shoulders of several people and landed on the figure on the screen, a rare hint of focus appearing on her usually icy face.

Zhou Jie squeezed next to her, stood on tiptoe to look inside, and whispered, "Wow, Dr. Chen seems to be a little taller than usual today."

Wang Jianguo stood behind the crowd, glanced at Chen Ping on the screen, then at his colleagues gathered in a circle, and a smile crept onto his face.

Liu Mazi, dressed in his security guard uniform, returned from patrolling the gate of the compound and saw a group of people crowding around the pharmacy window, so he joined them.

He stood on tiptoe at the back of the crowd and peeked at Chen Ping on the screen. His eyes were full of admiration: "Look at our Dr. Chen, how amazing he is, he's even on TV."

As time passed, Chen Ping finished reading the entire report.

The entire report took about 30 minutes to read, without any stumbles or mistakes, and it was even smoother than the one I read at the county hospital that morning.

After reading the last word, he closed the report, took half a step back, and bowed to the audience.

County Chief Fang was the first to stand up and applaud.

The leaders in the front row stood up, and the doctors and nurses in the back row also stood up one after another. Applause surged from the front of the auditorium to the back and then back to the front, and it rang out for a long time.

The red lights on those cameras were still on, recording the entire moment.

After the applause gradually subsided, County Chief Fang turned around, gestured to the audience to sit down.

He didn't return to his seat, but stood up, glanced at Chen Ping, and then spoke into the microphone.

"Dr. Chen's report was excellent and very practical. It's a rare opportunity to bring together the backbone of the county's medical system today, and I'd like to take this chance to add a segment to the agenda."

"Everyone here is in the medical field, and you inevitably encounter some difficult problems in your daily work. Today, Dr. Chen is here, so you can speak freely."

"If there's anything you don't understand or aren't sure about, take this opportunity to ask Dr. Chen. We professionals aren't afraid to ask questions; we're afraid not to ask."

There was a moment of silence in the audience, and then a young doctor in the front row on the side raised his hand first.

He stood up, and the microphone was handed to him. His voice was a little nervous. "Dr. Chen, I'm from the Hekou Town Health Center. There are many mountainous areas in our area, and we have quite a few cases of snake bites."

"I heard you rescued a patient bitten by a snake. I'd like to ask, in the absence of antivenom, what are the specific acupoint combinations and key points of acupuncture for detoxification?"

Chen Ping nodded and moved the microphone closer to himself. "The Seven Stars Chasing the Moon Acupuncture Technique uses Ashi points, Quchi, Hegu, and Zusanli as the main acupoints, and the auxiliary acupoints are added or subtracted according to the type of snake venom."

The venom of the five-step snake is a hemotoxic venom, so the focus is on cooling the blood and stopping bleeding, using acupoints such as Xuehai (SP10) and Geshu (BL17). The needle insertion depth is adjusted according to the bite location, and the technique primarily uses a reducing method. The needles are retained for 30 minutes, with three rotations during this time. The key is speed; the earlier the needles are inserted, the better the effect.

The young doctor quickly jotted it down in his notebook, and as he sat down, he didn't forget to say "Thank you, Dr. Chen."

At this moment, in the Siping Township Health Center, Li Fang looked puzzled. "Director, is there this step in giving a report?"

"I don't know either. I've never done a report in my life..." Zhao Guosheng shook his head.

"Won't Dr. Chen be put in a difficult position? What if he can't answer a question and it's being broadcast live? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?" Wang Tao said.

Everyone fell silent, each praying that Chen Ping wouldn't encounter any difficulties.

Cui Ying stood to the side, watching Chen Ping's calm and composed demeanor on the phone, and smiled slightly. She trusted Chen Ping's medical skills, and even more so, she trusted his character.

In such a situation, Chen Ping would absolutely not have any problems.

At this moment, once the conversation started in the auditorium of the county hospital, it was impossible to stop.

A female doctor wearing glasses in the back row raised her hand and asked about the traditional Chinese medicine treatment plan for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

An elderly doctor from the township health center next door asked about the key points of acupuncture techniques for treating knee joint effusion.

A young doctor at the county's traditional Chinese medicine hospital asked about the principles of acupoint selection for facial paralysis sequelae.

One after another, the microphone was passed around in the audience, and the questions ranged from gynecology to orthopedics, from internal medicine to emergency medicine, from acupuncture to traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions—a wide variety of questions were asked.

Chen Ping answered each question one by one, calmly and clearly.

When faced with a tricky situation, he will think for a few seconds and then provide a clear and workable solution, rather than vague "it varies from person to person" or "it can be handled at his discretion".

The people in the audience kept taking notes, and some who didn't have time to write simply took out their phones to take pictures of the stage, completely disregarding the rules of the venue.

Time passed by, and the report meeting, which was originally planned to last an hour or so, was stretched to more than three hours because of the last-minute addition by County Chief Fang.

The sun outside the window shifted from its zenith to the west, and the lights in the auditorium automatically turned on, but the hands of those asking questions from the audience remained raised.

Finally, County Chief Fang glanced at his watch, then at the crowd below who were still eagerly raising their hands, stood up, took the microphone, and said with a smile, "Time is limited today, and Dr. Chen needs to rest."

"For any questions that weren't asked, you can write them down and submit them to the Health Bureau for compilation, so Dr. Chen can take them back and answer them at his leisure. Of course, you can also go directly to the Siping Township Health Center, make an appointment, and ask him in person."

A burst of laughter and applause erupted from the audience.

County Magistrate Fang turned around, nodded to Chen Ping, and the smile in his eyes carried undisguised satisfaction. He hadn't misjudged him; he trusted the young doctor's medical skills, which was why he dared to give him this opportunity in front of so many people.

The audience consisted of hundreds of medical workers on the front lines; their questions were the most real, genuine, and relevant to solving problems for ordinary people.

Chen Ping answered each question in turn, impressing all his hundreds of colleagues.

"Dr. Chen, I'll have someone take you to my office for tea first. There will be a banquet later, and it's already being arranged," said County Magistrate Fang.

"A banquet? Are we going to a hotel again?" Chen Ping was taken aback.

"No need. Our county hospital cafeteria has private dining rooms that are just as good as those in hotels. Going to a hotel isn't very convenient."

County Chief Fang gave a slightly meaningful smile.

Chen Ping smiled as well; he certainly knew what County Chief Fang meant by "inconvenience."

"County Chief Fang, you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. Just let Dean Ma lead the way."

Chen Ping knew that County Chief Fang must be very busy right now.

People from the Municipal Health Bureau and the Provincial Health Department have come. County Chief Fang needs to receive them; we can't just keep them all around him.

"That's fine." County Chief Fang nodded. "Dean Ma, please take Dr. Chen to my office for a chat and some tea. You know my office too."

"Alright, leave it to me, County Chief Fang, you can go ahead and get busy!" Dean Ma nodded.
