Chapter 72: Dr. Xiao Su Doesn't Talk About Science

  "Him?"

  All the experts turned their heads and looked at Su Nan, then they all cried out in unison.

  "Listen up, kid. This is for Director Ming to see the doctor, don't think that just because you've read a few medical books you can handle it, why don't you just go back where you came from?"

  Su Nan didn't mind their attitude. He was indeed young, and it was easy to understand that he wasn't trusted. Moreover, they weren't intentionally targeting him, but rather just couldn't believe that someone so young had talent. As long as he could let President Ming see his medical skills, he believed he would make them look at him in a new light.

  "Director Wang, may I go and check on Old Man Ming for you?" Su Nan ignored the experts and directly asked Director Wang.

  Director Wang was also uncertain, but Dr. Su Nan was recommended by the leadership of Pucheng to him. In the past, when other experts were at a loss, he had asked Dr. Su Nan for help again, thinking that maybe there would be more people and more ideas. Since it was like this, let Dr. Su Nan examine Old Master Ming, even if there was no solution, it wouldn't make Old Master Ming's condition worse.

  "Let Professor Zhang check it out for Director Ming?" asked Director Wang, looking at the person sitting there frowning in thought. He was Director Ming's designated personal physician and knew his physical condition best, but at this moment he was also the most depressed one. At a glance, Director Ming's body looked ill, but after examination, they had to come to the conclusion that he was fine, which made him feel very incompetent.

  Just now, Su Nan came over here, he didn't care at all. Now hearing Director Wang's question, he just reacted, "Let him go check it out." Professor Zhang nodded slightly. So many people couldn't find the cause of illness for President Ming, and this young man can't find it either, which is normal. As long as he participates in this consultation, even if he doesn't say a word, it's still an experience, and it will be beneficial to his future job promotion.

  Obviously, Dr. Zhang also took Su Nan as someone who came to mix up his experience, although he felt that they were a bit too bold in using the Ming Laozong incident to mix up their experience.

  After getting permission, Su Nan followed Director Wang into Chairman Ming's room. Chairman Ming was lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed. Various instruments were connected to him, but the data showed normal readings.

  "Director Lao, Dr. Su has come to check on you again, he was brought by Old Hu." Director Wang walked over and whispered in Director Lao's ear.

  Hu Yanning was a subordinate of Laozong for many years, and the two had a very close relationship. Director Wang knew about these things, so when he saw Hu Yanning bring Su Nan over, although he was surprised, he didn't suspect Su Nan's medical skills.

  At this time, Ming Lao was already in a semi-comatose state, vaguely hearing Hu Yanling's name, his spirit slightly lifted, nodded, seemingly with great effort, and then dimmed again.

  Su Nan had been watching from the side all along, and when Director Wang indicated that he could go over, he walked to Ming Lao's side, gently grasped his wrist, and carefully examined his pulse.

  Director Wang, who was standing by, looked even more astonished. It was already surprising that Su Nan, so young, had been recommended by Hu Yanling to come and diagnose Master Ming, but he didn't expect him to be a famous Chinese medicine doctor as well.

  It's often said that traditional Chinese medicine is an industry that relies on experience, and if one doesn't have enough experience, it's hard to achieve great things. But Su Nan is so young, does he have enough experience? At this point, Director Wang started to worry about Su Nan's level.

  Su Nan entered a trance-like state and wouldn't attend to anything else. It wasn't until much later that he finally let go of Ming Lao's hand and stood up.

  "Dr. Su, how is it?" Director Wang asked. No matter what he thinks of Su Nan now, since he let him come to diagnose, he has to ask about his diagnosis result.

  "Director Ming is fine, if I can treat him, he'll be back to normal with just one treatment," said Su Nan.

  "What?" Director Wang almost shouted out, his eyes staring at Su Nan, even suspecting that his ears had a problem and he hadn't heard Su Nan's words clearly. "You said you can cure Old Man Ming?"

  "Yes." Sunan replied affirmatively once again.

  "Alright, let's go out and talk." Director Wang was worried that talking too much here would disturb Old Man Ming's rest, so he called Su Nan to the living room outside.

  "Hey kid, what's your diagnosis?" Someone asked uncomfortably as soon as Su Nan walked out of the door.

  It's not that after finding them, you're going to find others, which would imply looking down on them. After all, Director Ming's identity is important, and one more person means one more idea. However, when you're finding people, can't you find a well-known expert? Instead, you found some young whippersnapper, isn't that clearly showing disdain for the abilities of these experts?

  "Chairman Ming's body doesn't have any major problems, and if he receives treatment, he'll recover quickly." Su Nan came over to the crowd, found a seat, and sat down, directly expressing his opinion.

  When they heard Su Nan's words, those experts became even angrier. "Young man, you need to understand the situation clearly. This is not a classroom where you can just talk on paper! You should know that in front of you are real patients, and it's Old Man Ming, who absolutely doesn't allow you to spout nonsense here. Do you know what kind of person Old Man Ming is? How dare you say that after treatment, Old Man Ming will recover as before?"

  "Didn't Old Lao work in Pucheng before?" Su Nan didn't respond to his question and instead asked another one.

  "Nonsense, who doesn't know that Director Ming was transferred from Pucheng to the Central Government and became a national leader?" Someone immediately spoke out to refute Su Nan's words. But they forgot that when Director Ming entered the Central Government, Su Nan was still just a child, even if Director Ming had retired, Su Nan would have been only around ten years old at most. As an adolescent, how many people pay attention to political figures at that time?

  Su Nan sat quietly there, waiting for the man to finish speaking before opening his mouth and saying: "This is correct. Mr. Ming has just returned to his hometown, he's emotionally excited, plus he has a guilty conscience, which led to him losing control of his mind, this is a case of the spirit leaving the palace."

  "What?" A group of experts heard Su Nan's words and stared at him with wide eyes, glaring at him angrily.

  "Nonsense!"

  "Seditious words to deceive the masses!"

  "You're spreading feudal superstition!"

  "You're still young, I didn't expect you to say something so unscientific!"

  When Sunan walked out of the house, the officials from Pucheng who were standing aside also gathered around the expert, wanting to hear how they would discuss. But unexpectedly, it was actually hearing Sunan's insight, which was simply astonishing and shocking.

  "Old Hu, how can this young man speak like that?" Originally, some people were dissatisfied with Hu Yanling bringing doctors again, and now they happened to hear Su Nan say such an out-of-tune remark, of course, they had to quickly express their dissent.

  "That's right, Old Hu, you also heard what he said, it was complete nonsense!"

  Hu Yanling looked at Su Nan awkwardly, thinking to himself, "My little ancestor, can't you just say something properly about your illness? What are you talking nonsense for?"

  "Xiao Su, quickly tell us your diagnosis, don't say those unscientific words anymore." Hu Yanling pulled Xiao Su's arm and whispered to him.

  "What's the meaning of no basis?" Su Nan refuted discontentedly, "The pulse condition of Old Man Ming clearly and obviously reflects these symptoms, how can you say there is no basis?"

  "Who knows what you're talking about with this pulse diagnosis?" An expert sneered, "Your traditional Chinese medicine is completely unscientific, can't be verified, and nobody even knows how it works!"

  "Nonsense!" Su Nan felt indignant upon hearing what this person had to say, having drunk a few bottles of ink and thinking himself knowledgeable, fundamentally abandoning the knowledge of his ancestors, a classic case of forgetting one's roots.

  "You..." The man didn't expect Su Nan's reaction to be so intense, and for a moment he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

  "What do I know?" Su Nan continued, "Just because no one knows what's going on doesn't mean it's unscientific? Then let me ask you, before Newton discovered gravity, who knew how gravity worked? Does that mean that before Newton, the apple falling to the ground was unscientific and they should have been flying in the sky?"

  "You can't verify the knowledge of our ancestors, it only shows that you are still in a state of ignorance. The knowledge of our ancestors will not disappear just because of your opposition, they have been passed down through generations and have protected our country and people for thousands of years!"

  "Hmph!" The man finally came to his senses, "You only know how to boast with your words, can you come up with examples that meet scientific standards to prove yourself?"

  "Alright." Su Nan replied nonchalantly, "What's the old man's physical condition like? Did he fall ill or what?"

  When asked by Su Nan, the man closed his mouth and stopped talking. At first glance, Mr. Ming's condition seemed to be due to illness, but when he was asked what kind of disease Mr. Ming had contracted, he didn't know, because all the test data indicated that Mr. Ming's body was healthy.

  "Hehe, Dr. Su, I've also studied traditional Chinese medicine. Just now, I also took Mr. Ming's pulse and felt that his pulse is still calm and peaceful, not like someone who is ill. How do you explain this?" Someone else spoke up to ask Su Nan, and even called him "Little Dr. Su". It was clear that they didn't think highly of him, unconsciously putting him in the junior category.

  Listening to the man's words, Su Nan glanced at him and found that he didn't have any inner strength in his body. "Your pulse-taking technique is still elementary, you can only say that you are standing at the door, not even stepping over the threshold, so you can only see a part of the situation through the gap under the door. As for the corners of the courtyard and the situation inside the house, you have no way of knowing."

  "What?" The man almost jumped up, his beard was also a big handful, but in Sunan's mouth, it could only be considered as an apprentice level without even entering the door, how could he bear it?

  "Too arrogant! Too arrogant!" Others couldn't bear Su Nan's behavior and began to criticize him.

  Su Nan didn't mind these situations, as long as he could cure Ming Laozong's illness. Facts speak louder than words, they all thought Ming Laozong was ill, but according to their so-called theories, they couldn't find the cause of Ming Laozong's illness and couldn't treat him either. He just needed to cure Ming Laozong, and then he could use facts to refute those who criticized him.
