My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1728 - 1727: Is an Assessment Still Necessary?
Hearing the discussions among Tang Ming and the others, the other students looked at them with disdain. In their eyes at this moment, Tang Ming and the other three were only here through cheating, and now it’s the time to test real skills, revealing the true colors of some people.
Due to their exclusion of Tang Ming and his group, no one approached to chat for a while.
As time passed, students entered the lab one after another, and when they came out, some were jubilant while others were sobbing.
Inquiries to the students about the specific situation were met with silence; perhaps they had been warned.
Since Tang Ming’s group had the best scores, they waited until the last turn, with Shao Wuyou being the first to enter.
Within a few minutes, Shao Wuyou walked out dejectedly.
"Hey, what’s happening in there?"
Inquired Meng Xianjun curiously.
"I..."
"Those who have completed the assessment, go stand over there, no whispering allowed."
Tan Yongsheng sternly reprimanded, convinced after Shao Wuyou’s attempt that these students who came through cheating had no real skills.
"Meng Xianjun, it’s your turn."
Tan Yongsheng glanced at the notebook, calling coldly.
"Here."
Meng Xianjun nodded and followed Tan Yongsheng into the lab.
"You can use either Western medical equipment or traditional Chinese medicine techniques to examine the patient you see, then conclude the treatment method and its expected effect as quickly as possible."
Tan Yongsheng introduced the rules upfront with an icy tone, "Do you specialize in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine."
Meng Xianjun replied.
"Elder, Meng Xianjun wants to use traditional Chinese medicine for the examination."
Tan Yongsheng respectfully reported to the two elderly professors.
"Let him check case number thirteen."
Professor Li nodded without moving from his chair.
"Follow me."
Tan Yongsheng gestured to Meng Xianjun, leading him to a room resembling a ward, where an old man lay on the bed with an oxygen mask, receiving an IV drip.
"This practical assessment uses live patients?"
Meng Xianjun couldn’t believe it as he looked at the patient on the bed, not expecting this scenario.
"Haha, what did you think? A medical competition is for the nation’s medical elite from universities, without the skill to treat illnesses, how can you possibly rank?"
Tan Yongsheng snorted impatiently urging, "Quickly diagnose the patient, I’m responsible for recording, then it’s up to Elder Li to evaluate."
"Alright then!"
Meng Xianjun pursed his lips and walked up, starting to take the old man’s pulse.
Although not as skilled as Tang Ming and Hua Yingjie, Meng Xianjun understands medical skills, possessing knowledge of human anatomy and basic medical principles, thanks to his family background. This was his reason for participating in the medical competition, though he almost gave up due to the challenging written exam.
"This is a cerebral vascular blockage, simply a cerebral thrombosis. I can prescribe a remedy, supplemented by acupuncture to treat the patient’s condition, which should allow recovery in about three weeks."
Meng Xianjun truthfully stated the diagnosis.
Tan Yongsheng looked at Meng Xianjun with surprise and began recording.
After completing the diagnosis, Tan Yongsheng handed the materials to Elder Li.
"Not bad, you have some skill."
Elder Li examined Meng Xianjun’s prescription and described the treatment method, expressing some satisfaction, "Who taught you medicine?"
"I’m a student of family medicine, a barefoot wild doctor, which is why I majored in medicine for further study."
Meng Xianjun humbly replied.
"Good! You have a solid foundation, study well over the next four years in school, and you’ll definitely become an outstanding doctor. Register for more traditional Chinese medicine courses next semester; it will greatly benefit your future development."
Elder Li nodded happily, advising with a smile.
"Thank you, Elder Li, for the advice, the student understands."
Meng Xianjun respectfully bowed and timidly asked, "Did I pass?"
"You passed, you have the potential to showcase your talents in the medical competition."
Elder Li replied smilingly.
"Great, great."
Meng Xianjun was instantly overjoyed, not expecting to get through successfully.
"Go ahead!"
Elder Li signaled to Tan Yongsheng.
"Not bad, you have some skill."
Tan Yongsheng praised briefly, then led Meng Xianjun outside.
"Old Zhang, it seems more students are learning traditional Chinese medicine than Western medicine."
Elder Li looked at his old friend smilingly.
"It’s puzzling, theoretically Western medicine techniques are easier to learn, but how come this bunch fails the practical test?"
Old Zhang sighed in frustration.
"Hahaha, traditional Chinese medicine students are trained from a young age, relying on their knowledge to practice diagnosis, while learning Western medicine relies too heavily on scientific instruments. Such a sudden assessment inevitably leads to some errors."
Elder Li said laughingly stroking his beard.
"Oh! The medical competition indeed places Western medicine at a disadvantage, though I firmly believe Western medicine still has plenty of prospects."
Old Zhang sighed again, refraining from further comment.
Next to come in was Hua Yingjie, who also practiced traditional Chinese medicine, delivering an extremely accurate diagnosis and analysis of the patient needing examination and presenting an almost perfect treatment plan.
Elder Li was thrilled after reviewing Hua Yingjie’s diagnostic materials, "Young man, who taught you medicine?"
"I’m from the Medical Sect."
Hua Yingjie hesitated a moment, then stood confidently, "I’m a successor of the Heavenly Medicine Sect."
"Successor of the Heavenly Medicine Sect?"
Elder Li’s expression changed slightly, his eyes sizing Hua Yingjie up, "Even though the Heavenly Medicine Sect has declined, there are disciples still around?"
"Although the Heavenly Medicine Sect is declining, I believe I can revive it."
Hua Yingjie proclaimed confidently.
"Very good, I appreciate such a traditional Chinese medicine talent; if you win the championship in this medical competition, you’ll earn the title of Young Medical King. With such an honor, the Heavenly Medicine Sect will assuredly flourish again."
Elder Li nodded repeatedly, encouraging excitedly.
"The student will work hard."
Hua Yingjie vowed earnestly.
"You may go now, I have high hopes for you."
Elder Li waved his hand, watching Hua Yingjie depart.
"Old Li, what exactly is the Heavenly Medicine Sect?"
Old Zhang questioned Elder Li in puzzlement.
"A once glorious medical Dao sect, though fallen, a skinny camel still bigger than a horse, I trust this young man to be a dark horse."
Li stroked his beard, laughing as he responded.
"Gentlemen, it’s just Tang Ming left now."
Tan Yongsheng reminded with disdain, "This guy had Dark Group backing, forcing us to leak the written exam questions; does such a level still require assessment?"
