Chapter 156 Traditional Chinese Medicine vs. Western Medicine



If he had known this would happen, he would not have become a guinea pig.

He Shiwen didn't get discouraged until Captain Wang nodded in agreement. She turned to look at Hou Yiming, who was watching the show, and ordered, "Hurry and prepare the anesthetic. I want to start the operation."

"I really don't have that," Hou Yiming shrugged, looking helpless. "We military doctors just use physical anesthesia. Two punches and the person will faint. Why do we need anesthetics?"

Bai Ying and He Shiwen: "..."

Are all military doctors so tough?

After hearing what Hou Yiming said, Captain Wang became even more frightened.

Back then, the conditions were limited to removing the bullet without anesthesia. If it wasn't dug out in time, it would become infected and cause death. Decades have passed, but he still remembers the numbing pain.

Now that he has the conditions, why would he still go through that trouble? Besides, he is old and his body is not as strong as when he was young.

Although Captain Wang really didn't like Bai Ying, he couldn't care less now. This was his only way to survive. He quickly said to Bai Ying, "Okay, let's try acupuncture!"

He Shiwen wanted to persuade Captain Wang to reconsider, but was dragged out of the infirmary by Hou Yiming. "Well, how can a doctor be the master of the patient? Captain Wang chose Bai Ying to treat him. What's your business?"

Before leaving, Hou Yiming winked at Bai Ying and told her to concentrate on her treatment while he would take care of the annoying guy.

As Hou Yiming took the people away, only Bai Ying and Captain Wang were left in the infirmary.

On the hospital bed, Captain Wang sat upright, his demeanor undiminished.

He looked at Bai Ying coldly, his eyes full of distrust.

Bai Ying calmed herself down and walked forward.

She took out a long needle for acupuncture from the medicine box she carried with her. Instead of holding Captain Wang's arm to find the acupuncture point, she pinched the silver needle, which was as thin as an ox hair, with her thumb and index finger, and pressed it lightly with her middle finger. Without seeing how much force she exerted, the silver needle pierced into the acupuncture point on Captain Wang's upper arm as accurately as a bird spreading its wings.

Bai Ying followed the same method, inserting silver needles into the Jianyu, Jianyou, Jianqian, Quchi, Shaohai and other acupoints specifically for shoulder and arm pain.

His movements were light and quick, and he was extremely accurate in finding the acupuncture points. In the blink of an eye, he had inserted more than ten needles.

Seeing Bai Ying use this method, Captain Wang's expression became much more serious.

During his recovery, he had tried acupuncture, but even the old Chinese doctor who treated him at the time didn't have the same amazing skills as Bai Ying...

At this point, Captain Wang had to believe that this young girl in front of him seemed to have some abilities.

Bai Ying uses the flying needle insertion method.

The many years of medical experience in her previous life had brought her flying needle technique to perfection, and now she used it subconsciously when giving acupuncture.

Pinch the handle of one of the silver needles with two fingers, and as you lift, insert, and twist the needle, the sensation will be like waves moving from near to far, guiding the qi to the affected area.

After a few breaths of acupuncture, Bai Ying asked, "How does it feel?"

Captain Wang frowned slightly and felt it carefully, "My arm is sore, swollen, and numb... and there's a slight electric shock."

Bai Ying raised an eyebrow, "If you have feelings, it means you're not useless yet."

Battalion Commander Wang: “…”

He wondered if Bai Ying was deliberately tormenting him?

I remember that during his rehabilitation, the old Chinese doctor gave him acupuncture for many days in a row, but it didn't have much effect, which shows that acupuncture doesn't work for him.

Thinking of this, Captain Wang no longer had much hope for Bai Ying. He warned her, "You'd better pray that I can be cured, or you can forget about staying in the army."

Bai Ying was not threatened at all. "The main function of acupuncture is to dredge the meridians and regulate qi and blood. The specific effect depends on your own body's recovery. Acupuncture is not a panacea that can produce immediate results in one treatment."

Captain Wang snorted coldly and ignored it.

It doesn't matter how much time is wasted anyway.

Let this little girl show off for a while. If it doesn’t work, how will she explain it?

Half an hour later.

Bai Ying took out the needles one by one, put the removed silver needles away separately, and prepared to take them back to boil for disinfection and sterilization.

Captain Wang stood up, held his shoulder, and moved it back and forth a few times. He said in surprise, "It really doesn't hurt anymore?"

It has been raining continuously these days, with no sun to be seen, and the old injury on my shoulder has been aching slightly.

Due to face issues, he couldn't tell anyone else and had to continue training every day. The pain was compounded and it was unbearable.

Unexpectedly, after Bai Ying gave a few injections, the effect was immediate!

Not only did the old injury no longer hurt, but even the heaviness that had been clinging to my arm was gone!

Captain Wang's face was filled with joy, and he was so happy that he wanted to jump for joy.

"Don't be too happy yet."

Bai Ying poured a basin of cold water on him. "Acupuncture doesn't work that quickly. Your current condition can only last for three days. To completely cure it, you'll need at least one course of acupuncture, which is ten days."

Upon hearing this, Captain Wang was in a dilemma.

Ten days of treatment?

In that case, wouldn't we have to keep the person here?

But he had already given the position of military doctor to He Shiwen. If Bai Ying knew about this, how could she possibly treat him?

Just as he was thinking, He Shiwen, who had been waiting outside impatiently, broke in.

"Bai Ying, if you can't be cured, just tell me earlier and don't delay my surgery!"
