The people in the room immediately noticed the abnormality of Deputy Group Leader Su Deshang.
"Old Su, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
"Is this symptom a stroke or a heart attack?"
"Your stroke allows you to stand? Don't talk nonsense..."
"No way, Old Su just had a physical examination last week. His cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health was excellent. How could he have a stroke..."
"Hurry up and rescue him, do a brain CT, do an angiography..."
"Old Zhang, hurry up and give him an injection. Maybe this injection will fix it..."
The last person to speak was addressing Director Zhang of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. It was known that traditional Chinese medicine, often looked down upon by many, could even quickly resolve severe conditions like cerebral hemorrhage.
When a patient is having a stroke, a silver needle inserted into the brain can rapidly release accumulated blood, thereby decompressing the brain.
Of course, doctors who can perform this technique are now rare, almost extinct. Director Zhang of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at Hospital 704 is one of the few who can do it.
Director Zhang quickly stepped forward, instructing a nurse to prepare silver needles while he began his examination. He first observed Su Deshang's physical condition, and then he felt Su Deshang's pulse.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Director Zhang, but Director Zhang looked towards Ling Tian.
"It's okay, Xiao Su is fine, he's not in life-threatening danger!"
"Director Zhang, don't joke. Look at Team Leader Su now, his entire face is flushed red..."
Director Zhang shook his head with a wry smile. He said to Ling Tian, "Young man, release his acupoints.
This old man doesn't have silver needles, so I probably can't resolve it.
Your remote acupoint-touching technique is truly extraordinary!"
Everyone's gaze shifted back to Ling Tian. Ling Tian shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands outwards.
"Distinguished leaders, esteemed seniors, this is not due to my rudeness, but rather Deputy Team Leader Su, who has been making things difficult and questioning me since the moment we met!
As you all saw just now, he aggressively lunged at me and spoke disrespectfully to my teacher.
I merely pressed his acupoints to help him calm down."
Ling Tian's words shocked everyone. They hadn't realized there was such a conflict between the two parties. However, recalling Deputy Team Leader Su's behavior and attitude towards Ling Tian since Ling Tian arrived in the office, it seemed Ling Tian's statement was not without merit.
Just then, Xuanyuan Jie also spoke.
"Everyone, I can attest to this. Deputy Team Leader Su has always seemed to doubt Ling Tian's medical skills and has been making things difficult, making cold remarks and mocking him. Even as an outsider, I found it hard to watch!"
When Xuanyuan Jie said this, the surrounding doctors were not surprised. This Deputy Team Leader Su was indeed a rather domineering fellow in daily life, and many people had grievances against him. However, given his position, people dared not speak out.
Seeing the situation becoming awkward and difficult to manage, Director Wu of Hospital 704 finally stepped forward.
The head of the expert group for Old Master Lu's treatment was the head of the first group of the Health Bureau. This leader was not present today, and the highest-ranking individuals in the room were Director Wu and Deputy Team Leader Su. Director Wu was also one of the deputy leaders of this treatment group.
Of course, Director Wu's role as deputy leader was more focused on coordinating the hospital's medical resources.
Now that Su Deshang was in such a state, he had to speak up. Moreover, this incident occurred in his hospital, so he couldn't just wash his hands of it.
"Doctor Ling Tian, there might be some misunderstanding here. Team Leader Su is a very responsible person, but he's not very adaptable and sometimes gets stuck on trivial matters. Please forgive him...
If there are any issues, we can sit down and discuss them. If Team Leader Su has truly offended you, I will have him apologize to you..."
Everyone was greatly surprised by this. What kind of person was Director Wu? He was someone who could shake the Chinese medical community with a stomp of his foot, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. For him to be so amiable towards Ling Tian was truly a sight to behold.
In fact, the reason for this was not that Ling Tian was arrogant, but that his medical skills had impressed Director Wu.
A medical giant like him could immediately discern the extent of a person's medical expertise.
Most of the people in his hospital did not possess the skills that Ling Tian did. Just based on this, they should give Ah Gou a chance.
Another reason was, as Ling Tian had just mentioned, the lesion in Old Master Lu's brain had begun to infiltrate the tissues near the brainstem.
Once the blood-brain barrier was breached, the old master's life would be over. Even if he could be saved, he would likely end up in a vegetative state.
It could be said that Ling Tian was now one of their few hopes.
"Please rest assured, I, Ling Tian, am not someone who doesn't understand the bigger picture!"
As Ling Tian spoke, he extended his hands and made a gesture through the air. Su Deshang, who had been frozen in a pointing pose, suddenly swayed and fell to the ground.
However, his face was contorted in pain, and his body was uncontrollably spasming and twitching.
"What's going on?" Director Wu pointed at Su Deshang on the ground and asked Ling Tian.
"It's nothing. The blood circulation was blocked earlier, and he exerted too much force. His muscles are spasming. A massage will help, or he could take a couple of belladonna tablets!"
Director Wu quickly arranged for medical staff to carry Su Deshang away and begin his treatment. After a considerable amount of effort, Su Deshang limped back into the office.
Director Wu quickly tried to reason with him, "I say, Old Su, you're not young anymore. You should change your temper.
Ling Tian is a young man with insight and ideas, and his medical skills are evident. We should give him some opportunities.
Moreover, Old Master Lu's condition is not very optimistic, and we don't have many other options!"
"Director, I..."
Su Deshang was filled with hatred. He was about to declare his eternal enmity with this kid when Ling Tian's teasing gaze fell upon him.
Upon seeing this gaze, Su Deshang instantly understood its meaning, and his body trembled involuntarily from the depths of his soul.
He recalled the feeling when he was acupoint-locked earlier. He truly did not want to experience that feeling again.
After being acupoint-locked by Ling Tian, he felt his body was restrained. His brain was perfectly clear, but his body simply wouldn't move.
He desperately sent commands to his body to move, but his body completely ignored him.
What was even more agonizing was that after Ling Tian released the acupoints, all the commands his body had issued at that moment seemed to be released all at once, causing his muscles to be overloaded and resulting in widespread muscle spasms. The pain was excruciating!
Ling Tian walked forward and looked at Su Deshang. Su Deshang instinctively took two steps back, hiding behind Director Wu.
"You... What do you want!"
