"Oh? What place are you talking about?"

Chen Xiao immediately asked.

Wu Feier said, "It's a nursing home. I used to volunteer there when I had time."

"Great, this nursing home is perfect!"

"Okay, I'll call the director now and get in touch."

The matter was settled. The two deputy directors had no objections to choosing the nursing home as the competition venue.

Of course, they couldn't blatantly say they were competing in medical skills. Instead, it was under the guise of free clinics. After all, even if it didn't cost money, no one wanted to be a guinea pig.

Wu Feier quickly contacted the director of the nursing home. The conditions there weren't very good, and the elderly residents generally didn't have much money.

So, when the director heard about this free clinic activity, especially since it was initiated by volunteer Wu Feier, he naturally welcomed it wholeheartedly.

The entire Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was dispatched, heading to the nursing home in a mighty procession.

The free clinic location was set up in the activity hall where the elderly gathered. Jia Bing and Chu Luo each had a consultation table.

The competition results needed to be evaluated from various aspects. However, overall, it came down to who treated more patients and whose treatment was more effective.

With Chen Xiao and the three deputy directors as judges, they could ensure the fairness, impartiality, and transparency of the competition.

The elderly residents of the nursing home rushed over as soon as they heard about the free clinic.

Once people get old, even if they don't have any major illnesses, they'll have some minor ailments.

Some were reluctant to go to the hospital for minor issues. Now that they heard that medical treatment was free here, they naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

Even those who were in good health and didn't have any problems came to line up. First, they were bored anyway, so they might as well join the fun. Second, they could treat it as a check-up.

Soon, the free clinic began, and the elderly spontaneously lined up, forming a long queue.

That's right, it was a long queue because everyone was lined up in front of Jia Bing's consultation table.

In contrast, Chu Luo's table was deserted, with not a single person there.

Actually, it was normal for the elderly to react this way. After all, it was traditional Chinese medicine, and older practitioners were considered more reliable.

Jia Bing looked at Chu Luo smugly and shrugged.

Clearly, he had already won before the competition even started.

Chu Luo looked helpless, begging and pleading, saying, "I can also treat illnesses here. Why aren't any of you coming over?"

If he hadn't spoken, he could have at least maintained the demeanor of an expert. But once he opened his mouth, he completely lost his composure, and no one believed him anymore.

"Young man, practice for another ten or eight years. Grandpa will wait for you. You can do it!"

An old man said heartlessly, making a fist gesture.

Chu Luo was about to cry. "Don't bury me like that."

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao couldn't help but find it amusing. This kid, Chu Luo, was too young and impetuous. It was a good thing for him to suffer a setback.

Looking at Jia Bing, Chen Xiao couldn't help but shake his head secretly. This person's skill level was truly low. Not to mention Chu Luo, even some of the other interns were probably better.

"Grandpa, your lumbar disc herniation requires appropriate exercise, such as doing health exercises or playing badminton. If it's really bad, you can go to the hospital for microwave physiotherapy and far-infrared treatment..."

Jia Bing said to an old man with a lumbar disc herniation in front of him.

After speaking, he was pleased with himself, feeling that his words were impeccable.

This was the treatment logic he had always advocated: "Seek no merit, but seek no fault!"

He couldn't guarantee that he could cure you, but he certainly wouldn't make you worse!

"What kind of doctor are you? What did you treat? All I heard was nonsense!"

The old man snorted and stood up, clearly dissatisfied with Jia Bing's treatment.

Jia Bing curled his lips. "You old man are really something. This is a free clinic, no charge. What else do you want me to do... Next!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao frowned directly. Even the three deputy directors couldn't stand it anymore. This Jia Bing, sigh...

But Jia Bing didn't care. Anyway, he was guaranteed to win this time. What could the patient's dissatisfaction do to him?

He just came to work to make a living. He didn't have any lofty ideals. "Close enough" was good enough!

Chu Luo, on the other hand, immediately knew that his chance had come. He grabbed the old man with the lumbar disc herniation and said, "Grandpa, how about I treat you?"

"Young man, can you do it?"

The old man looked doubtful, and even transferred his dissatisfaction with Jia Bing to Chu Luo.

"What do you mean, 'Can I do it?' Grandpa, please remove the 'can.' I'll treat you with acupuncture, with no toxic side effects, and it'll be effective immediately, guaranteeing you'll be as lively as a dragon!"

Chu Luo boasted, his words quite exaggerated.

Li Dafu immediately frowned. This young man had committed a major taboo for doctors, which was to make wild claims, equivalent to promising the patient the moon.

If it were a mature doctor, even if they were 100% certain, they would only say they had 80% certainty. That way, even if there was a mistake, the patient wouldn't blame the doctor, but would instead think they were unlucky.

However, Chu Luo had filled his words to the brim. If the treatment effect didn't reach the level he claimed, the patient would definitely be disappointed, and this disappointment would lead to trouble.

Most medical disputes occur because of this.

Moreover, lumbar disc herniation is a stubborn disease that's neither too serious nor too minor. However, curing it immediately with acupuncture is almost a pipe dream.

Unless Director Chen could personally take action, even the three deputy directors couldn't achieve the effect that Chu Luo had boasted about.

"Young man, you said it yourself. If the treatment isn't as good as you say, don't blame me for turning against you!"

This old man looked like the type who had a fiery temper when he was young. Even now that he was old, he was still easily provoked.

"Don't worry, old man!"

As Chu Luo spoke, he took out a needle box, took out three silver needles from it, skillfully wiped them clean, and then separated his hands, one on the left and two on the right, holding the three silver needles between his fingers.

"Grandpa, you have to take off your shirt first!"

Chu Luo said to the old man.

The old man frowned slightly and asked, "Young man, does this acupuncture hurt?"

"Absolutely not. It's like being bitten by a mosquito. You won't even feel it if you don't pay attention."

Chu Luo said casually.

"Okay, then I'll trust you this once!"

Hearing Chu Luo say this, the old man took off his shirt.

Chu Luo came behind the old man, took a deep breath, and suddenly moved both hands at the same time, one up and two down, inserting the needles horizontally.

Jia Bing looked at this scene askance and snorted disdainfully, "Pretending to be a ghost, nonsense!"

The old man, as expected, didn't seem to feel anything. With his back to Chu Luo, he didn't move at all and didn't react in any way. He didn't even know if the acupuncture had started.

However, when Li Dafu saw Chu Luo's needling technique, he couldn't help but be stunned and exclaimed, "Breaking Tiger Needling Technique! I didn't expect this little intern to actually know how to use the Breaking Tiger Needling Technique!"
