Lin Jie had just finished speaking when Wei Zhifeng urged, "Your diagnosis is the dysfunction of the vagus nerve controlling the visceral organs. Quickly explain your treatment plan and the specific medications prescribed."
"I also want to evaluate whether this treatment plan is truly effective for treating vagus nerve dysfunction."
This attitude of severe doubt immediately made Lin Jie, who was already suppressing his anger, unable to hold back any longer.
"Dr. Wei, you have come all the way from the Capital City under the guise of a medical exchange. As half a host, I've tolerated your rudeness enough."
Lin Jie glared at Wei Zhifeng and angrily said, "You repeatedly question my diagnosis, and even worse, you question my character. I ask you, what qualifications do you have to criticize me so presumptuously?"
"I want to ask you, do you have any irrefutable evidence to prove that I am wrong?"
"I wonder if your head got squashed by the elevator door because nobody's head is bigger than yours, is it?"
Lin Jie turned confrontational without any courtesy, and his crude remarks made the office atmosphere freeze instantly.
Hong Damin, Elder Zhou, and the two elderly, Sun Yu, didn't find anything wrong with Lin Jie's outburst.
They also felt that Wei Zhifeng's repeated provocations towards Lin Jie were excessive.
Elder Zhou, observing Wei Zhifeng's reddened face, cleared his throat and criticized, "Dr. Wei, let me say something you may not like to hear. You have indeed gone overboard today, not only being impatient but repeatedly targeting Expert Lin aggressively."
"Could it be that Expert Lin's diagnosis of the Ma family's child's condition is truly unacceptable for you, causing you to lose your composure? This should be a good thing, solving a difficult condition and saving a child."
Hong Damin also said displeasingly, "Dr. Wei, you seem less like you're here for a medical exchange and more like looking for trouble. Is your questioning based on narrow speculation, or do you have undeniable evidence to support it?"
"Dr. Wei, don't make me look down on you, a famous doctor who came from afar."
Wei Zhifeng saw that Sun Hexu and Yu Hongji were also looking at him with dissatisfaction and reproach, realized he had gone overboard.
Taking a few deep breaths, he stood up and slightly bowed towards Lin Jie, saying, "Dr. Lin, I was too rude, and I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry."
Then, Wei Zhifeng also bowed slightly to Elder Zhou, Sun Hexu, Yu Hongji, and Hong Damin, saying, "I also apologize to all of you for having to endure my rudeness and crudeness."
"Before leaving home this morning, I had a fight with my wife, and the sarcastic remarks from the Ma family matriarch in the ward earlier made me lose my composure."
Saying this, Wei Zhifeng once again turned his gaze to Lin Jie and said, "Dr. Lin, since I've come this far, let me be blunt."
"Regarding Ma Jinshou, I truly spent a lot of effort during the diagnosis and treatment process."
"For nearly a month, aside from unavoidable emergency patients, I spent almost all of my time on this child. My team and I, looking at the child's most detailed examination and test data, racked our brains to explore possibility after possibility, and eliminate them one by one."
"Eventually, I concluded that the cause was psychological in nature."
He said with a look of helplessness and frustration, "However, the patient's family did not accept this diagnosis, leaving me without options."
"As for your diagnosis..."
Wei Zhifeng snorted coldly and said, "We monitored Ma Jinshou's visceral functions. The issue you mentioned doesn't exist. His visceral functions, apart from being somewhat weak, have been operating well."
"Therefore, I insist that your diagnosis is wrong."
Lin Jie sneered disdainfully.
This time, this guy was somewhat restrained, merely pointing out that Lin Jie's diagnosis was incorrect, without insinuating that Lin Jie used his diagnosis results to secretly treat the patient.
"Since you're so insistent, I will explain my diagnostic process to everyone."
Lin Jie went to the desk, took out a stack of examination documents, and said, "Fortunately, Ma Jinshou's latest medical records are all here with me."
"This is the basis of my diagnosis. You can take a look first."
Elder Zhou and the other three traditional Chinese medicine experts did not peruse these materials.
They were not familiar with the modern medical terms, terminology, and various graphical interpretations on the test reports.
The ones examining these documents were Wei Zhifeng and Hong Damin.
Wei Zhifeng flipped through them quickly, only glancing at a few key pieces of information on each page before moving on.
In just a short time, he had skimmed through all the documents and nodded, "This is indeed Ma Jinshou's physical examination information. I still remember many of his data indicators, which haven't changed much."
Wei Zhifeng looked at Lin Jie and chuckled, "Please explain, Dr. Lin, how you deduced his vagus nerve dysfunction from these materials."
He continued, "Dr. Lin, if what you say is sensible, and the checks by the traditional Chinese medicine experts on Ma Jinshou confirm your diagnosis is correct, then as my apology..."
Wei Zhifeng arrogantly declared, "I will give you the title of number one pediatrician in the country."
"The number one pediatrician? You're giving it to me?"
Lin Jie was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "Dr. Wei, do you think this is like handing out award certificates? Whoever gets one is number one?"
"Isn't this a recognized fact in the industry? Besides, do you have the qualification to give it?"
Wei Zhifeng's face turned beet red as he explained, "I am a standing director of the Chinese Medical Association and the president of the pediatric branch. I can make proposals at the pediatric branch meetings."
"I am capable of making you the industry-recognized top pediatrician..."
Seeing Hong Damin's gaze that seemed to carry a hint of mockery, Wei Zhifeng felt somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "Dr. Lin, hurry up and explain, don't waste time rambling back and forth."
Lin Jie snorted to himself and said, "Gentlemen, before explaining, I need to point out one thing first."
"And that is, Ma Jinshou's body has been in a weakened state for years."
"Therefore, the benchmark values for measuring various indicators of his body need to be significantly lowered. For example, if the benchmark value for a normal child is two, then Ma Jinshou's benchmark value is one, or even weaker than one."
He took out a visceral activity monitoring chart and continued, "This is the visceral activity monitoring chart of Ma Jinshou during nighttime sleep. You can see that the visceral activity is somewhat weak."
"But this weakness is only relative."
Lin Jie took out another visceral activity monitoring chart and said, "This is the monitoring chart of Ma Jinshou's visceral activity before and after lunch. Compare it with the nighttime one..."
Hong Damin stared at the two charts for a while and said, "There's not much difference in the visceral activity, just slightly stronger during the day."
Wei Zhifeng said disdainfully, "What does this prove?"
"Ma Jinshou is lazy all day, and he hardly exercises. It's normal for his visceral activity to be weak..."
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "It's naturally normal for daytime visceral activity to be weak, but at night, the value of this activity is high relative to Ma Jinshou's physical condition."
"And it's not just a little higher. Don't forget, his benchmark value is very low."
"On this point, you can compare for yourselves. I won't say more about the difference between a normal child's nighttime visceral activity and their physical benchmark value."
While Hong Damin and Wei Zhifeng were pondering, Lin Jie took out a long scroll of printing paper from the desk, about five to six meters long.
"This is the real-time data of Ma Jinshou's sleep monitoring at night. Please take a look."
Pointing at the chart, he quietly explained, "When Ma Jinshou's brain waves are at their calmest, which is when he is in deep sleep, some visceral record lines should dip slightly, but they remain flat and even show signs of rising."
"This indicates that even when Ma Jinshou is in deep sleep, his organs remain extremely active."
"I believe this situation leads Ma Jinshou to consume a significant amount of stored energy at night."
"And by day, due to the organs' tiredness after a night, they become less active, leaving Ma Jinshou lethargic and extremely lazy during the day."
"It is precisely this nearly day-night reversed organ activity pattern that leaves Ma Jinshou's physical state in such poor condition, making it difficult for him to resist the invasion of common ailments..."
At that moment, Wei Zhifeng suddenly stood up.
Upon seeing this, Lin Jie stopped explaining and looked up, only to see the other party staring straight at him, breathing heavily...
Just when Lin Jie thought that Wei Zhifeng was having a hysterical outburst due to being provoked, he suddenly turned around and quickly left the office.
"What's with him?" Lin Jie felt bewildered.
Hong Damin coldly chuckled and said, "Expert Lin, he realized that your diagnosis is extremely correct, so he couldn't stand it and left in embarrassment."
He then said disdainfully, "Expert Lin, you might not know this. Every time the pediatric association holds a seminar or meeting, there are always people praising him as the number one pediatrician in the country."
"Every time, he humbly claims not to deserve it."
"Earlier, he brazenly said he would give you the honor of being the top pediatrician."
Hong Damin chuckled sarcastically, "Clearly, he thinks he is the indisputable number one in the country, what a hypocrite."
Old Master Zhou sighed and said, "All this hustle and bustle, it's all for fame and gain."
Yu Hongji also shook his head regretfully and continued, "Expert Lin, although Wei Zhifeng has left, this little patient Ma Jinshou, please take us to see him."
"We hope to study his pulse and accumulate some experience to avoid misdiagnosing similar patients."
Yu Hongji's words filled Lin Jie with respect, and he said, "Gentlemen, let's head to the pediatric ward together."
