Chapter 347 - 237: Equal Speed, Astonishing the Crowd!
When the broadcast sounded, the students erupted in excitement.
The crowd waiting at the entrance of the small auditorium also turned around and began to flood into the other large auditoriums and conference rooms.
At the same time, the student council members received phone calls to arrange for the big screen broadcast and to maintain order.
Within a few minutes, the students swarming in had filled the remaining four auditoriums to capacity, all with faces full of anticipation.
Those who couldn’t find any space quickly ran to the large lecture halls in their respective teaching buildings.
"Teacher, can you turn on the TV so we can watch the live stream?"
"Yeah! Teacher, please!"
"Teacher, let us watch it, please~~"
"We promise to make up the class we miss tonight! We’re begging you, teacher."
At this moment, in each classroom where lessons were ongoing, many students, upon hearing the news, were no longer focused on their classes.
They kept interrupting the professors, pleading incessantly.
Quite a few teachers, unable to withstand the students’ soft coercion and persistence, reluctantly agreed, seeing that continuing the class was unlikely.
Furthermore, with the recent campus-wide broadcast, many teachers themselves were actually quite intrigued.
If recently Qin Feng had gained a reputation as a genius, then Yu Peng was the medical prodigy that even a few years ago evoked their admiration and envy.
Now, Yu Peng returned, and unexpectedly, his first official appearance coincided with Qin Feng.
And it was a showdown in medicine that even they wanted to witness.
This is great!
The situation escalated beyond expectations. Everyone thought the hospital would suppress the matter, or at the very least not make it public.
But to everyone’s surprise, it was broadcasted live openly!
"Students, please be quiet!"
In the classroom, the professors began to control the situation, with smiles of anticipation on their faces,
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let’s finish class later and watch the broadcast first, okay?"
"Okay!"
"Hooray for the teacher!"
"Oh ho~!"
...
In an instant, cheers erupted from each classroom as TVs were turned on one after another.
Inside the auditorium,
"Haha~ Yu Peng, Qin Feng, since you both want to compete, let me be the witness."
Vice Dean Su Heyang had already walked onto the stage, holding a microphone and said with a smile,
"I’ll have the imaging department make the equipment available later, and invite a few professors to do a re-diagnosis for you."
"Thank you, Dean."
"Thank you, Dean Su."
Qin Feng and Yu Peng exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.
This made it even fairer!
Yu Peng, hearing the broadcast outside a few minutes earlier, felt even more delighted inside.
He hadn’t expected that his first seminar after returning would turn into such a big event, initially thinking it would pass uneventfully.
So when he received the notification, he actually didn’t want to come, fearing it would waste his precious time.
But then encountering Qin Feng’s direct challenge was the perfect opportunity to establish his reputation!
Moreover, this was Peking Union Medical College, not the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Even if Qin Feng truly understood Chinese medicine, the chances of him winning against someone practicing Western medicine were very slim.
Therefore, victory in this competition favors me!
Su Heyang, receiving the news that live broadcasts in all auditoriums, conference rooms, and classrooms were fully accessible and that the viewership was substantial,
turned around to look at the two, smiling as he said, "You two may begin."
As his words fell, the audience on-site and the students and teachers watching felt quite excited.
Yu Peng nodded with a smile, walked in front of his three selectees, put on a stethoscope, and began auscultation on the first person.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng, with empty hands, directly sat in his position facing his three subjects.
This competition did not allow for questioning and only permitted diagnosis via palpation to determine the cause of illness.
The scene was thus silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Stay calm, extend your right hand and place it here."
Qin Feng looked at the boy in front of him, indicating him to extend his hand.
The boy complied and put his hand out in front of Qin Feng, who then gently placed three fingers on the boy’s wrist.
He was taking the pulse!
Upon seeing this, the students in the audience couldn’t help but show intrigued expressions, staring intently at Qin Feng on stage.
Even a few professors, particularly Liu Guofeng, had their eyes glimmering with a peculiar light.
This guy!
He actually knows Chinese medicine!
Meanwhile,
In the hepatobiliary and pancreatic research lab, Yuan Lingshan, with twin pigtails, ran to Yuan Rushan, holding a phone.
"Grandpa, look."
"I’m busy, I’ll watch later."
Yuan Rushan, peering into a microscope, upon hearing Yuan Lingshan’s voice, didn’t even lift his head and directly refused.
"It’s Qin Feng... senior brother! He’s competing (in medicine) with someone named Yu Peng in the small auditorium!"
"Qin Feng? Yu Peng?"
As soon as the words fell, Yuan Rushan abruptly lifted his head, somewhat unresponsive, and asked again.
"Yes, see for yourself."
Yuan Lingshan then presented the phone in front of him.
"Quick, bring my glasses here."
Yuan Rushan immediately took off his single lens magnifying glass and put on his glasses, muttering along the way,
"Really, how did those two end up in a row? When did this kid Yu Peng come back..."
Then, he fixed his gaze on the screen, noticing Yu Peng conducting auscultation while Qin Feng sat in his chair, steady as a rock,
merely holding a hand, engaging in diagnostic palpation.
"Hmm? Qin Feng is using traditional Chinese pulse diagnosis, isn’t he from a medical university? Does he know Chinese medicine too?"
Yuan Rushan raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise crossing his eyes, unable to resist asking.
"Yes, I heard from friends that Qin Feng... senior brother is using traditional Chinese methods to compete with this Yu Peng, who uses Western medicine.
Moreover, questioning is not allowed, only diagnosis through palpation. It’s to see whose diagnosis is more accurate."
"So that’s how it is~"
On hearing this, Yuan Rushan nodded knowingly, watching the screen intently, even putting aside the experiment before him.
...
About two to three minutes later,
Qin Feng retracted his hand, instructed the boy to open his mouth and stick out his tongue, then used two fingers to gently press twice on the boy’s chest.
Then he nodded, picked up a pen nearby, and started writing down the diagnosis.
Witnessing this, a soft murmur of astonishment arose from the audience.
So fast!
It had only just begun!
Qin Feng was the first to finish and start writing the diagnosis results.
Looking across the stage, Yu Peng was still meticulously auscultating front and back, deep in thought with a furrowed brow.
Of course, upon hearing the commotion in the auditorium, he glanced at Qin Feng out of the corner of his eye and noticed that Qin Feng was leading.
A slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he withdrew the stethoscope, seated himself, and picked up a pen.
Whoa~
The surprising exclaiming that had not yet subsided resounded again.
Yu Peng finished diagnosing first as well!
Among the professors in the audience, including Liu Guofeng, eyes lit up, astonished yet applauding.
These two are absolute prodigies!
To perform silent palpation and ascertain the cause so swiftly, such capability is rare even in experienced emergency departments.
At the very least, a basic inquiry and equipment check are required for a thorough conclusion.
Yet these two, in just two to three minutes, completed their diagnoses. Regardless of any potential flaws later, the speed of their fundamental diagnosis already surpasses that of many seasoned doctors.
"Oh my god, they’re so fast at diagnosing!"
"Indeed, with one measuring the pulse and the other auscultating, they diagnosed the cause without even questioning? It’s terrifying!"
"I’d be content to reach their level someday."
"Wishful thinking! One’s a surgical prodigy, the other’s a returning elite; how can you compare?"
...
Meanwhile, in other auditoriums and lecture halls, a flurry of exclamations and discussions arose.
Everyone was shocked by Qin Feng’s and Yu Peng’s diagnostic speed!
They wore expressions of disbelief and envy, for geniuses are meant to be revered.
Moreover, even the teachers and professors watching couldn’t help but be amazed, their eyes glued to the TVs.
In the laboratory,
Yun Rushan observed the two almost simultaneously begin writing diagnoses, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.
Watching him, Yun Lingshan curiously asked, "Grandpa, who do you think will win? Senior brother or that Yu Peng?"
"Who will win?"
Raising his head slowly, Yun Rushan returned the phone to her,
"A great physician possesses compassion and humility, don’t you think?
These two little fellows are interesting; drinking too much sea water will leave you parched, hehe~"
With that, he wore a serene smile and removed his glasses, reverting to his monocle.
As if he already knew the outcome of the competition.
On the side, Yun Lingshan, puzzled by his cryptic words, stood in confusion.
What did that mean?
He didn’t even make it clear!
Humph!
