Chapter 737 Stop Bleeding by Acupuncture

After hearing Robben’s words, the excited students soon calmed down. Based on what they had learned before, Western medicine did work better to stop bleeding than traditional Chinese medicine.

If one’s large blood vessel was cut open, causing massive bleeding, there was nothing traditional Chinese medicine could do and the doctor could only resort to using Western medicine.

Under everyone’s gaze, Qin Haodong smiled lightly and said, “Mr. Robben, what you’ve said just shows that you don’t know much about traditional Chinese medicine. The doctor can stop the bleeding faster if they use traditional Chinese medicine in the correct way, and its effect can be as good as that of Western medicine.”

“No! That’s impossible!” Robben shook his head and said, “Mr. Qin, please don’t defend that. I know your traditional Chinese medicine. It had fewer side effects, but it works slowly. The patient would have died of excessive blood loss before the medicine could stop the bleeding.”

Robben finished his words with a triumphant smile as if he had exposed Qin Haodong’s lies. But this guy did read a lot of papers before he came here and had a general understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

Qin Haodong explained, “If I were to use traditional Chinese medicine to stop bleeding, what you’ve described would be right. But don’t forget one special skill of traditional Chinese medicine that I just showed you—acupuncture.

“Acupuncture can not only cure diseases and save lives, but also stop bleeding. Then the doctor can bind up the wounds by other methods. It works quite well.”

Robben was stubborn. “No… no… no, although the acupuncture you’ve just shown us is excellent, I still don’t believe that the little silver needles can stop bleeding.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Since you don’t believe it, I can show you today on the spot.”

Wan Taisong stood up and said, “You two, please stop here and don’t talk about this topic. We’re not in the outpatient department and there are no bleeding patients here either.”

His original purpose of breaking into their conversation was to help Qin Haodong out of trouble. As the director of the school of traditional Chinese medicine, he had never heard that acupuncture could stop bleeding despite his enormous amount of knowledge of TCM.

He thought that Qin Haodong just said that to save face. If he was asked to perform on the spot, he would definitely fail and be humiliated by other experts in public.

In this case, the wisest choice was to quit as soon as possible.

But Qin Haodong obviously did not intend to do what he wanted. He said, “Don’t worry, President Fan. There’s a ready-made patient here in this classroom.”

Then he looked at Robben and said, “If my eyes serve me right, you have a bad tooth.”

Robben said, “Yes, you’re right, Mr. Qin. I admit that you’re good at medical diagnosis, but it has nothing to do with stopping the bleeding with TCM.”

Qin Haodong explained, “Mr. Robben, the gums will bleed heavily during tooth extraction. If I help you extract this bad tooth without any blood, will you agree with what I’ve just said?”

Robben was slightly stunned. As a doctor, he clearly knew the pain of tooth extraction and he also knew that the patient would lose a lot of blood during the process.

“Mr. Qin, that’s impossible. The gums will definitely bleed heavily during tooth extraction.”

“Dare you let me give it a try and extract your bad tooth?”

“I can let you extract the tooth, but I don’t believe that you can stop the bleeding.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Since you agree to let me extract your tooth, how about we make a bet?”

“Of course! I love making bets. But on what?”

Robben loved gambling and he was excited to hear Qin Haodong’s proposal.

Qin Haodong said, “I will lose if there’s one drop of blood in the process of tooth extraction. If not, you will lose.

“As for the wager, as an old Huaxia saying goes, ‘The guest must accord with what the host likes,’ so it’s up to you and I’ll go along with it.”

Robben said, “How could the gums not bleed during tooth extraction? Even our best dentist of Western medicine can only stop the bleeding after the gums bleed. Well, I accept the bet. As for the wager, how about 2 million dollars?”

After finishing his words, he looked at Qin Haodong for his opinion. Mr. Qin was plainly dressed, so Robben wondered if he could pay so much money.

“No problem. 2 million. It’s a deal.” Qin Haodong seemed to think that the wager was not enough, so he turned around and said to other members of the delegation, “Is there anyone else who’s interested in the bet? No matter how big your wager is, I’ll accept it.”

Rooney said, “I’ll bet you five million dollars, but I’m a little curious. Mr. Qin, do you have so much money?”

Alice smiled and said, “President Rooney, don’t worry. I’ll vouch for Qin and give you the money if he can’t afford it.”

She had learned a lot about Qin Haodong over the past days, and it was clear to her that this young man was not as ordinary as he looked. He was super-rich.

“Well, since President made a promise, I’ll bet Mr. Qin five million dollars.”

Except for Rooney, three or four members of the delegation stood out, and the wager has already reached 20 million dollars in total, including that of Rooney and Robben.

Then Qin Haodong started to extract the tooth.

Robben asked nervously, “Mr. Qin, what kind of tools will you need for the tooth extraction?”

Qin Haodong stretched out his hands and smiled, “These are my tools.”

“Extract a tooth without any tools?” Robben looked at him with disbelief and asked, “Do I need some anesthetic first?”

“Well, no. There’s nothing I need. It’s easy and fast for me and it doesn’t hurt.”

Then Qin Haodong took the silver needles and put them into the major acupuncture points on his face in an instant.

Before Robben could even realize what had happened, Qin Haodong stretched out his hand and gently flicked his bad tooth away. With a snap, a little white thing bounced out of his mouth and fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at the ground and found that it was a bad tooth.

This time, all the people standing around them were stunned. They had never seen someone extract a bad tooth in this way.

Generally speaking, Western doctors need to disinfect and anesthetize the gums first, and then separate the gums, extract the bad tooth, and stop the bleeding. The whole process would take at least 10 minutes, but Qin Haodong finished it within seconds. He was so fast!

The others were also stunned. He was performing a magic trick rather than extracting a bad tooth.

Qin Haodong looked at Rooney and said, “President Alice, please come over and be a witness. Check his gums to see if they’re bleeding.”

Alice stood up gently, walked up to Rooney, and checked his gums. She found that the place where the bad tooth was extracted from had turned red, but there was not even one drop of blood.

She turned to the crowd and said, “I think all of this is amazing and I can’t believe it, but I have to tell you the truth. There’s no blood in Robben’s gums, so Mr. Qin wins. His medical skills have once again worked miracles.”

Hearing her words, Rooney and others still couldn’t believe it. They walked up to Robben one by one and checked his mouth carefully. It wasn’t that they didn’t believe Alice’s words, they just thought that it was incredible.

Rooney said to Qin Haodong in shock, “Mr. Qin, could you please tell me how you did this?”

Qin Haodong said indifferently, “President Rooney, it might be magical for your Western doctors to watch me stop bleeding with acupuncture, but it’s quite easy for Chinese medicine practitioners.

“As long as you fully understand the 12 meridians in the human body, you can stop any part of the body from bleeding by sealing certain acupuncture points.”

“It’s too complicated.” Rooney didn’t know what the 12 meridians were at all. Although he didn’t understand what Qin Haodong was talking about, he still said straightforwardly, “Mr. Qin, I don’t understand the principle, but we lost. Please give us your bank account. We’ll give you the money now.”

Qin Haodong turned to Wan Taisong and asked, “President Wan, do you have a bank card in your hand?”

Wan Taisong thought that Qin Haodong had forgotten his credit card number, so he took out his bank card.

Qin Haodong gave the card to Rooney and soon received 20 million dollars.

He gave the bank card back to Wan Taisong and said, “President Wan, I noticed that many of our infrastructures are shabby. Please take the money for repairs. It’s my gift to our school.”

“How… how can I take this?”

Wan Taisong was quite surprised. He didn’t expect Qin Haodong to be so generous and donate 20 million dollars without hesitation. This was more than 100 million yuan!

The other people present were also surprised, including the members of the delegation of the World Medical Association. Qin was a great doctor who possessed magical medical skills and regarded money like dirt. He deserved everyone’s respect.

Qin Haodong said indifferently, “President Wan, please take it. Don’t turn down my offer.”

The School of Chinese Medicine was indeed short of funds for the past years and Wan Taisong had been worried about this recently. The money donated by Qin Haodong was a timely help.

He stood up and bowed low to Qin Haodong. “Mr. Qin, on behalf of the 3,000 teachers and students in the school, I’d like to thank you.”

Without rehearsal, all the 100 students present also stood up and bowed to Qin Haodong together. “Mr. Qin, thank you.”

Qin Haodong gained the respect of everyone present with his medical skills and character within one class.

At this sight, all the members of the delegation clapped and looked at Qin Haodong with admiration.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his 40s appeared outside the classroom. He knocked on the door and asked, “Excuse me… Is President Rooney here?”

There had to be something wrong with him because he burped as he spoke.

Rooney’s face lit up with joy and he said quickly, “Mr. Zhang, I’m here. Please come over here.”

He admired Qin Haodong now and had also been impressed by his medical skills. He was also willing to pay the wager, but for the sake of the World Medical Association and Western medicine, he thought that he had to do something.

And this middle-aged man was his last resort, and it was just the right time.

The middle-aged man went up to Rooney and said with a flattering smile, “President Rooney, it’s a pleasure to meet you here in Huaxia. I had planned to go to M Country to see you. What a coincidence!”

Rooney took the middle-aged man’s hand and introduced him to the people present. “Let me give a brief introduction. This is my patient, Mr. Zhang. Two years ago, he got a very strange disease and I cured him.”

Then he said to the man, “Mr. Zhang, please introduce your condition to everyone.”

Qin Haodong smiled and immediately got it. Rooney had prepared this middle-aged man to show the medical skills of the World Medical Association in the School of Chinese Medicine.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man said, “Three years ago, I had a strange disease. I couldn’t stop burping.

“During this period, I had been to many major hospitals and seen many famous doctors. I had countless general check-ups, but no one could find the cause of my disease.

“Then I went to the World Medical Association, but they still couldn’t find the cause of my disease even with the help of the advanced instruments there. But Mr. Rooney received me and invented a pill based on my condition. Since taking it, I have been in remission.

“But it appeared once again after I stopped taking the pill one year ago. So I came here to ask President Rooney for help.”
