Reincarnation - The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Chapter 19: You Are a Quack

Although James did not know who the young man was, he answered, "If I do the operation, I could add at least two to three years to his life expectancy."

Qin Haodong sneered at him. "What a joke. You want to remove half his lung lobes just to give him another two to three years? How dare you claim to be the best thoracic and pulmonary doctor in the world! You, sir, are a quack!"

James's face turned red as he glared at Qin Haodong. No one had dared to call him a quack in years!

He stormed across the room to face Qin Haodong. "Who are you? Do you know anything about medicine? In consideration of the patient's current condition, what I have put forward is the best possible treatment plan. No one else has been able to treat him at all. I am the best thoracic and pulmonary doctor in the world, a world-recognized expert!"

Nalan Wufeng said, "Who are you? How did you get in? Guards, get him out of here!"

"Shut up!" Nalan Jie said angrily, "This is Dr. Qin — I invited him!"

"Doctor Qin?" Nalan Wufeng looked at Qin Haodong for a moment, his expression became even more disdainful. "Shouldn't all traditional Chinese medicine doctors have white eyebrows and shining white long beards? How could there be such a young doctor? Grandpa, have you been deceived?"

"Shut up or get out. Don't talk nonsense here!" Nalan Jie angrily scolded Nalan Wufeng. Yesterday, according to Qin Haodong's suggestion, he had taken a 12-hour medicated bath, and he felt much better. He even had a good sleep last night. Naturally, he believed in Qin Haodong more than the bearded man who proposed to remove half of his lung.

Seeing how angry his grandfather was, Nalan Wufeng stepped back and remained silent.

But James was not afraid of Nalan Jie. He said to Qin Haodong, "No way! You're too young to have gone through medical school! How are you a doctor?"

Qin Haodong said, "I am a traditional Chinese medical doctor. In traditional Chinese medical science, we stress medical skill instead of age and seniority."

"Traditional Chinese medical science? Hahaha! doctor of Chinese medical science!"

James laughed heartily, covering his beard in spittle. He laughed and turned to his assistants, "Did you hear that? This is really the funniest joke in the world!"

Qin Haodong frowned and asked in icy tones, "Why is that funny?"

"Funny? Of course, it's funny!" James said, "Go to the World Medical Association and ask about traditional Chinese medical science. Everyone knows it's deceptive witchcraft founded in superstition. No one believes that traditional Chinese medical science can cure diseases!"

"If you don't believe in traditional Chinese medical science, you are ignorant!" Qin Haodong turned around and pointed to Nalan Jie and said, "If I use traditional Chinese medicine to treat Nalan Jie's disease, not only will his lungs remain intact, he will also recover completely. What's more, I can extend his life expecteancy by ten years!"

"Now THAT is the funniest joke in the world! Is that called Chui Niu in Chinese? I've heard that you people like to brag, but today I finally see it!"

As James shook his head and spoke Chui Niu in his stiff Chinese, his assistants laughed again.

Qin Haodong made a calming gesture to Nalan Wushuang, who was about to lose her temper, and said to James, "Since you don't believe in traditional Chinese medical science, let's make a bet."

James was famous for his arrogance in the World Medical Association. "Okay. How do you want to bet?"

"I say that I could cure Nalan Jie in half an hour."
