Chapter 470: Medical Genius
After Xu Ning’an left, two young nurses came into the ward, saying they needed to perform Lin Tian’s routine check-up.
The two young nurses informed Lin Tian that Wu Neng had resigned on his own, replacing him with a new attending physician—Sun Chuanrong.
The director wanting to be his attending physician, Lin Tian naturally understood his intentions.
The position of attending physician was just a formality; the real purpose was to have more opportunities to strengthen their relationship. As for the treatment, Sun Chuanrong didn’t think he was qualified to treat Lin Tian.
Not to mention Lin Tian’s high medical skills, even Zhao Xuefeng was unmatched.
After the two young nurses conducted a thorough examination, they were both astonished at Lin Tian’s rapid recovery and, under the guise of the examination, took the opportunity to touch Lin Tian several times.
Lin Tian was helpless about the two nurses taking advantage. If his legs and feet were convenient now, he’d definitely throw both of them onto the bed and give each a good spanking.
After the check-up, Lin Tian was left alone in the ward. He didn’t continue cultivating but reviewed the contents of "Tyrant Emperor’s Record" in his mind.
He had gone through the Chapters on ancient medicine, acupuncture, and alchemy and remembered a lot. Now he was just looking for a set of prescriptions suitable for himself to promote faster bone healing.
The Alchemy Chapter didn’t only have formulas for advancing cultivation, but also innumerable prescriptions for treating various difficult diseases, dazzling in variety.
Even if Lin Tian lived for another two hundred years, studying these prescriptions without rest, he still couldn’t finish them.
The medical essence of the Celestial Dragon Continent over tens of thousands of years is not something easily comprehensible.
All the prescriptions flashed through his mind, no matter how complex they were, he could understand and deepen his impression of them in a second.
Even so, he spent a total of two hours, about seven thousand two hundred seconds, browsing about eight thousand prescriptions.
Among these eight thousand prescriptions, many were suitable for his current condition, and some could even increase his cultivation, yet he still eliminated them.
The reasons were many, for instance: some medicinal ingredients were so rare they couldn’t be purchased, some even extinct.
Another example: the herbs were very common, but their effects were too slow, so they were also discarded.
Considering these points, Lin Tian finally found a prescription suitable for him after two hours.
The prescription contained a total of eighteen herbs, except for one key ingredient, others were quite easy to buy. Moreover, the effects were extremely potent and quick.
If an ordinary person used it, their body would likely not withstand the combined effects of these medicines. Not only would it fail to heal fractures, but it would also cause bodily harm.
Because the comprehensive effects of this prescription demand great strength from the body.
Originally, this prescription wasn’t intended for treating fractures, but for cultivators to strengthen bone structure, yet it now suited Lin Tian perfectly.
Soon after, Liou Qingcheng and Zhao Xuefeng came over after their class.
According to Meng Nan, they planned to visit Lin Tian upon his discharge rather than become a third wheel.
Zhao Xuefeng seemed very enthusiastic, moving the sofa to Lin Tian’s bedside in the ward to discuss his condition with him.
Lin Tian briefly talked about his physical condition; basically, the injuries to his organs had healed, but his bones hadn’t fully recovered.
Zhao Xuefeng beamed after listening, and then earnestly discussed ancient medicine with Lin Tian.
Zhao Xuefeng had his own understanding and insights into the knowledge and development of ancient medicine.
Ancient medicine emphasizes ’looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse,’ and Zhao Xuefeng was undoubtedly a leader in contemporary times. He eloquently elaborated on the knowledge he had gained during his medical career, mostly derived from practical experience.
These were undoubtedly invaluable to Lin Tian, whose mind was full of prescriptions and acupuncture skills but which severely lacked practical experience.
Lin Tian was originally an outsider in ancient medicine, he knew this knowledge but couldn’t apply it.
Zhao Xuefeng’s words undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for him, and many previously incomprehensible matters suddenly made sense.
Of course, Zhao Xuefeng was not only a teacher now but also a student. Discussing various topics on acupuncture and ancient medicine with Lin Tian, Lin Tian knew no reservation in his responses.
What Lin Tian shared was entirely based on the knowledge from the "Tyrant Emperor’s Record," and he didn’t find it anything extraordinary.
But to Zhao Xuefeng’s ears, they were shocking. He initially countered Lin Tian but upon careful thought, found it quite reasonable, a proverbial wake-up call. From time to time, he sighed, "It really can be this way..."
As long as Zhao Xuefeng had a question, Lin Tian could almost always provide an answer, leaving the seasoned Zhao pleasantly surprised and drenched in sweat.
When Zhao first arrived, he was vigorous, speaking on ancient medicine as if he were an esteemed expert. His statements were well-founded, coherently laid out, often hitting the nail on the head.
If his words to Lin Tian today were placed in the medical forums, they would certainly stir a great uproar.
But now, Zhao was no longer as energetic as before; instead, he was drenched in sweat.
What he had heard most in these years were others’ praises, and he’d even come to feel he was a renowned doctor of the generation.
However, after a conversation with Lin Tian, he felt as if he’d been a frog in a well, and his knowledge was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Even the acupuncture sequence he used on Lin Tian yesterday, if Lin Tian hadn’t pointed it out, Zhao Xuefeng would have been studying it laboriously for a year to grasp its intricacies.
The impact Lin Tian brought to Zhao Xuefeng was truly immense, making it difficult for him to accept, not to mention digest, for a time.
Realizing this, Zhao pulled out his phone from his pocket and recorded everything Lin Tian said.
He told Lin Tian, "It seems you are indeed my teacher. What you said today, I might not fully comprehend even in the rest of my life. I really don’t know how you know so much, you are a genius! A medical prodigy!"
Lin Tian knew he had made a significant impact on Zhao Xuefeng today, but he did not expect it to be this immense.
Lin Tian was previously an outsider, assuming that the knowledge in his mind wasn’t very complex. But how could he have known that this was the distilled wisdom of countless predecessors over millennia?
To fully comprehend it all? Utter nonsense!
Zhao Xuefeng seemed to notice Lin Tian’s strong theoretical knowledge but insufficient practical skills, so he suggested he communicate more with other doctors, whether in ancient or Western medicine, as long as he could learn something.
Lin Tian smiled and nodded in agreement. Zhao Xuefeng’s suggestion was something to consider, but Lin Tian didn’t feel he had that much time to discuss medical skills with others. His focus wasn’t in medicine, especially since the knowledge in his mind sufficed for a lifetime.
