Li Ying nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I suspect that Yu Pingping was poisoned. It's a colorless and odorless poison that can make people fall into a coma but still leave them with a breath of life. Moreover, this kind of poison leaves no trace after entering the human body."
"This is utterly absurd! Absolutely ridiculous! You're all elderly folks, who can tell me if they've ever seen such a poison?" The man questioned everyone present with a smile, his eyes full of contempt. "Don't think that just because Old Chen has recognized you as his granddaughter and you can read a few ancient books, you can spout nonsense and talk such rubbish. We old folks have practiced medicine for many years, seen more patients than you've eaten meals. Healing and saving lives is our responsibility as doctors, not a tool for you to mystify and seek fame!"
"Old Sun, watch your attitude!" Old Chen frowned, wanting to get angry, but Old Sun was an academician of the medical school and the president of the pharmaceutical association. His qualifications were there, and he would lose face if he spoke too harshly.
Li Ying smiled calmly: "Old Master Sun, right?"
Old Sun snorted and puffed out his chest.
He became the president of the pharmaceutical association, not just by talking, but through years of hard work and medical practice.
"Old Sun said he has been practicing medicine for many years and must have seen all kinds of patients and strange and unusual illnesses, right?" Li Ying's tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
Old Sun glanced at Li Ying: "Of course!"
"If that's the case, why would you question me, Dr. Sun? As a doctor, analyzing illnesses and finding the root cause is the essence of a physician. There are many people in this world, and many illnesses. So, Dr. Sun, in your judgment, what is the cause of Yu Pingping's illness?"
Old Master Sun sneered: "Are you testing my medical skills?"
"Li Ying wouldn't dare."
Old Sun shook his hand: "Yu Pingping fell into a coma after the fall. I suspect that her brain was damaged, which is why she is unconscious."
"Oh, I agree with that. Then I'd like to ask you, Professor Sun, did Yu Pingping suffer intracranial damage or damage to her brain nerves?"
Old Sun pointed at Li Ying: "How can you, a student of traditional Chinese medicine, ask such Western medicine questions?"
Li Ying smiled and said, "I studied traditional Chinese medicine, but I'm an unconventional person. I've never thought there was anything wrong with Western medicine. As long as it can cure diseases and save lives, it's good medical practice and treatment. If you insist on separating traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine like this, I think you're just stirring up hatred."
"you……"
Today's consultation included both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine doctors. Hearing Li Ying say this, I felt she was very ethical!
After so many years of endless debate, it doesn't really matter which is better; as long as it can cure diseases and save lives, it's good medicine.
Li Ying looked at Chi Munian: "Mr. Chi should remember the plague in the 1950s, right? The solution that time was the cooperation between Chinese and Western medicine, which successfully solved that malaria epidemic?"
Chi Munian nodded slightly. "I didn't expect you to know about this. That's right, it is indeed so."
"I think the young girl's words are morally sound. How can medicine be divided into high and low? The best medicine is the one that can cure diseases and save lives," someone praised.
"That's true!"
"Hmph! I think you've forgotten your ancestors!" Old Sun said angrily. "Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years, but Western medicine has come along and buried what our ancestors left behind. This is tragic!"
Li Ying admired Mr. Sun's sentiments, but did not agree with his views.
"Old Sun, everything that can be preserved is useful. Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, everyone's goal is to cure diseases and save lives."
"We Western medicine uses simple medications, but can your traditional Chinese medicine do that? You can boil medicine and it can kill you!" This man studied Western medicine, and he was most impatient with boiling Chinese medicine; it was too torturous.
"Good medicine tastes bitter, and medicinal herbs need to be decocted three-tenths of the way, otherwise how can they be effective?" Old Sun argued.
Chi Munian quickly changed the subject: "Everyone, everyone, we invited you here today for a consultation with Yu Pingping, not for a debate."
Everyone felt awkward.
Director Yu came out of the ward and invited everyone to come in and examine Yu Pingping.
As everyone entered the ward one after another, Li Ying followed Old Chen in and stood at the very edge.
Li Ying glanced over and noticed that Yu Pingping's fingernails had been painted with nail polish, indicating that the drug had spread through her body and changed her nails. In this case, there was no hope of saving Yu Pingping.
Several people took turns treating Yu Pingping.
Traditional Chinese medicine uses the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, while Western medicine examines various bodily indicators.
Ultimately, both parties agreed that the brain damage was caused by a head injury.
No one believed that Yu Pingping was poisoned.
Li Ying walked to the bedside, glanced at Yu Pingping's fingers, and then turned to look at Director Yu standing at the door.
Why did you paint her nails?
Upon hearing this, Director Yu lowered his head and said with immense grief, "Pingping has loved beauty since she was little and likes new things. Before she fainted, she said she liked these nail polishes and some cosmetics. So I bought them for her, and she just put them on."
"Director Yu is in such a hurry to paint her daughter's nails, I'm afraid it's not because she loves beauty, but because you're worried that some things might be exposed and it's hard to say, right?" Li Ying questioned decisively.
Director Yu's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"
“This poison is colorless and odorless, but it will show its effects over time, starting with the nails. Director Yu, do you dare to wipe off her nail polish?” Li Ying stared intently at Director Yu.
At first, she didn't want to doubt her father, but just now, the moment she saw the nail polish, Li Ying became certain of one thing: Director Yu knew why his daughter, Yu Pingping, had fainted.
He's lying!
“You all say my daughter is beyond saving. In her final days, can’t I let her fulfill her last wish?”
Director Yu was devastated and heartbroken.
"Comrade Li Ying, you can't find a reason, so you're just pushing it onto Director Yu, aren't you?" Old Sun stood up to defend Director Yu.
“When toxins enter the human body, they corrode the internal organs. I believe Director Yu must not have performed these physical examinations on Yu Pingping,” Li Ying pointed out.
Director Yu was stunned; she really could see through everything.
"It was my son-in-law who said we couldn't have the examination!"
Li Ying smiled: "Chi En is a staunch Western doctor; he couldn't possibly refuse to examine Yu Pingping. It's just that without the family's consent, he, who isn't yet Yu Pingping's husband, isn't qualified to sign. Isn't that right?"
Everyone suddenly realized, but no one admitted that they couldn't see the lesion.
"Li Ying, I think you're just trying to prove your lies by targeting Director Yu, aren't you?"
"Since you say so, why don't we wipe off this nail polish and see what happens! The virus has already spread, and Yu Pingping's nails must have changed color! To cover it up, applying nail polish is the best way!"
