"Lin Feng, what are you doing? Stop it right now!" With a stern voice falling, a middle-aged man dressed in a white coat walked over.
"Director Tan!" Lin Feng subconsciously stopped and looked at the middle-aged man rushing over. This person was Lin Feng's immediate superior, Tan Jie, the Deputy Chief Physician of the General Surgery Department.
Just moments ago, Tan Jie had been dining with friends near the hospital when he received a call from Lin Feng, and he drove here right away. He now had a face full of sweat, obviously having rushed over in a hurry.
"Lin Feng, what are you doing with those silver needles? Acupuncture?" Tan Jie couldn't help frowning. Lin Feng was supposed to be his reliable assistant, so why was he doing acupuncture with a few broken needles on a patient at such a critical moment?
However, even though Tan Jie was skeptical, he knew that Lin Feng wouldn't do this without a reason, so he quietly waited for Lin Feng's explanation.
But what Lin Feng said next completely took Tan Jie aback!
Lin Feng spoke, "Director Tan, the patient's blood pressure is dropping, and the heart rate is also rapidly declining. But the blood isn't ready yet, and we can't proceed with intervention or surgery at this moment. So I plan to use acupuncture to stop the bleeding, and we'll carry out the surgery once the blood is prepared!"
"Pfft!"
Tan Jie felt an urge to cough up blood!
"Xiao Lin, what are you doing? Acupuncture to stop bleeding? Do you think it's just a small cut on the hand?" Tan Jie, not knowing what had gotten into his usually proud assistant, raised his voice and said, "This is bleeding from the abdominal blood vessels! It's very likely arterial bleeding! Can acupuncture stop that? If acupuncture could, it would have been used nationwide by now! Would there still be so many people dying from massive blood loss after operations? The reason we can't perform the surgery is that we don't have blood, and it's acceptable if the patient dies because of this! But you are using acupuncture to stop the patient's bleeding? If the patient's family finds out about this, it will be considered a delay in treatment, an accident!"
Tan Jie's words were quite harsh, but he was indeed desperate, as he knew that if the patient's family found out that no surgery was performed during the patient's massive blood loss, but instead Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture was used to stop the bleeding, the family would definitely make a huge uproar!
"Xiao Lin, you were trained in Western medicine, when did you start believing in these Traditional Chinese Medicine practices? Traditional Chinese Medicine is nothing more than an outdated medical approach, how can it compare with Western medicine?! Quickly contact the transfusion department again and see how much longer we need for the blood!"
If this were a day earlier, Lin Feng would have also believed that Western medicine was the most advanced medicine in the world, unmatched by any other. Although Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tibetan medicine, Thai medicine, and others had their unique features, their efficacy was far from compared to that of Western medicine.
But today, after witnessing Qi Luyi's miraculous "Reverse Needle Technique", Lin Feng had completely overturned his views on Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"Director Tan, please trust me!" Lin Feng suddenly interrupted Tan Jie.
"What?" Tan Jie was taken aback!
This Lin Feng, who usually worked diligently and humbly, was actually interrupting him in front of so many nurses and asking for his trust?
This was utterly outrageous!
"Lin Feng, do you know what you're doing?" Tan Jie's tone carried a hint of anger!
Lin Feng took a deep breath. He knew that contradicting Director Tan at this moment would be extremely unwise!
No matter whether the patient's bleeding was stopped or not, Lin Feng was going to face a dilemma!
If he stopped the bleeding, Tan Jie wouldn't say anything for now, but Lin Feng was sure to face difficulties in his work in the future!
If the bleeding couldn't be stopped, then he would have to bear much of the responsibility for the patient's death!
But Lin Feng had absolute faith in Qi Luyi's Reverse Needle Technique!
"Director Tan, please don't be angry!" Lin Feng tried to keep his tone as even as possible, and went on to say, "I'm not going to argue with you about the strengths and weaknesses of Western medicine versus Traditional Chinese Medicine, but this time, please believe in me! I know you're doing this for my sake, but the patient has already missed the best time for surgery. The only way now is to start with acupuncture to stop the bleeding, and then proceed with the next step of treatment! I have followed you for so long, so please trust me this once!"
Lin Feng's words were quite sincere, and upon hearing them, Tan Jie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, however, Lin Feng didn't wait for Tan Jie's reaction and picked up the silver needle, aiming it at the patient's Shenque Acupoint!
Lin Feng was doing exactly as Qi Luyi had taught him.
Acupuncture is about "steadiness, accuracy, and ruthlessness," skills that are not cultivated overnight.
The "Inverse Flow" technique in acupuncture originates from the traditional acupuncture technique and emphasizes "grasping, clawing, rubbing, flicking, shaking, kneading, following through, and twisting." Yet, it breaks from the traditional techniques in terms of force applied and needle manipulation.
At this moment, Lin Feng was continuously applying the Inverse Flow method under the guidance of Qi Luyi.
"Hm?"
When Tan Jie snapped back to reality, he just caught Lin Feng applying the needle to the patient's Shenque Acupoint. Although Tan Jie was not trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, he had seen many TCM practitioners perform acupuncture. Seeing Lin Feng's skilled and practiced technique, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes!
In fact, Lin Feng originally didn't know how to perform acupuncture; it was Qi Luyi who had made some adjustments to make the learning process easier for him at the beginning.
"Qihai Acupoint!"
Lin Feng raised his hand, swiftly inserting needles into the patient's Qihai Acupoint!
"Jiuwei Acupoint!"
"Guanyuan Acupoint!"
Lin Feng's hands were constantly moving, and the silver needle kept rising and falling as he applied it to various acupoints!
By now, Tan Jie could see some method to this, and with things already at this stage, even if he wanted to stop it, it was too late. Instead, he decided to give Lin Feng a chance to see what this young man could achieve!
After all, in Tan Jie's heart, Lin Feng was a diligent and earnest young man, not one with the arrogance of those who talk big but lack ability.
"Sister Shen Mei, look quick, the patient's blood pressure is starting to rise!" At this moment, Li Lin, who had been busily working on the side, suddenly cried out in alarm!
This shout immediately drew the attention of Tan Jie and Shen Mei. They saw that the patient's blood pressure was indeed gradually increasing, and even the heart rate was slowly recovering!
"Could it really be the effect of Lin Feng's acupuncture?" Tan Jie glanced at Lin Feng, a trace of doubt arising in his heart.
"Can acupuncture really have such amazing effects?"
Shen Mei also showed a flicker of surprise in her eyes, looking at Lin Feng differently now, wondering when this young doctor, who usually got along well with her, had become so impressive?
Just then, Lin Feng finished applying the needles and stretched his back. Suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness, and then, with a "thud," he collapsed to the ground, unconscious!
