Chapter 184: Chapter 184

Gwen Raven did not wait for the traditional medicine team’s debater to finish speaking. She could not help but interrupt, “My dear opponent, what you’re talking about is not traditional medicine’s advantages but a dream. Modern medicine practitioners have dreams too. Our vision is to let every patient walk into the hospital and then walk out in less than half an hour, no matter how severe their illnesses are.

“However, we all know very well that treating illnesses and saving people depends on proper practical medical skills, not thoughts. You said that traditional medicine emphasizes the integration of the harmony of Yin and Yang. Modern medicine also advocates the same. We encourage sleeping and waking up early, resting enough, and eating well.

In reality, traditional medicine practitioners struggle to treat ordinary illnesses, such as colds. In the face of more serious illnesses, it is even more useless. Meanwhile, modern medicine has already conquered some cancers. In summary, modern medicine has completely beaten traditional medicine.

Comparing traditional medicine to modern medicine is demeaning modern medicine.”

The people from the modern medicine team applauded crazily. There were even three male debaters who cast blazing glances at Gwen. It was undisguised admiration for her. On the other hand, Mina, who previously greatly admired Gwen, suddenly did not like her as much when she saw Gwen’s arrogant aura.

She wondered if it was because distance mystified her; hence, it was easier to adore someone from a distance. Why did she feel that Gwen was as arrogant as Annalise Barton? On the traditional medicine side, Annalise suddenly sat up straight and reached out to move the microphone in front of her.

Everyone’s gaze moved toward her. Gwen was excited. She felt that Annalise was finally going to make a fool out of herself. Everyone heard Annalise say to Gwen, “Hello, have you finished delivering your argument?”

Gwen nodded. “That’s all. Now it’s on your side. Continue debating. We are just debating academically.

We can be sharp with our words.” Annalise said, “I hope Miss Raven can learn basic manners. Next time, please do not interrupt our debater’s speech. After all, the person has not exceeded the time limit.” Gwen was appalled and pissed off.

Mina snorted and laughed. Why did she suddenly feel that Annalise was adorable? Perhaps even though her medical skills were not good, she was at least an interesting character.

Gwen looked at Mina in shock. By then, Mina had stopped laughing. Gwen wondered if she was hallucinating. In the first row seat below the stage, on the row of VVIP seats, Julian Parks was sitting right in the middle. When he heard Annalise criticizing Gwen, he lowered his head and smiled.

Henry Dalton sat beside him and was stunned. He leaned over and teased him, “Julian, your wife is fascinating.” “Call her Mrs. Parks,” Julian Parks emphasized. Henry smiled brilliantly. “Alright, should I inform Trevor and the others to prepare wedding gifts?” Julian glanced sideways at Henry. “What do you think?”

Henry’s smile widened. “Haha, I’ll inform them to get prepared. Most importantly, when are you holding the wedding?” This year!” Julian said. If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to make it grand, he would have held the wedding right now. There are only a few months left this year!”

“Mmm. If I work hard to earn enough money, and nothing goes wrong, you’ll have a nephew next year.

Prepare the baby gifts!” Julian said. “Annalise is pregnant?” Henry rubbed his hands excitedly.

Although he was single, he loved children. If Julian had a baby, he would have a kid to play with!

“No,” Julian said. Henry immediately looked disappointed. “Tsk, I thought Annalise is pregnant. Julian, you have to work hard! I want to help…” Henry immediately shut up when he saw Julian’s threatening stare.

“Haha…” Sybil Xander, beside Henry, was laughing so hard that he was shaking. He pounded the table with his hand. “I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to die of laughter. Henry, you idiot. Sooner or later, I’ll die of laughter.” Lianne Blake, sitting on Julian’s other side, could not help but smile. She had always been cold and aloof, but Henry’s words were too funny.

Meanwhile, Annalise handed the microphone to another teammate on the stage, and the teammate started talking. The teammate’s argument on traditional medicine was that traditional medicine was more profound and that the treatment effect was not as slow as everyone thought. Moreover, traditional medicine was not as antique as everyone thought.

Now is the age of awakening and the rise of traditional medicine. In Chanaea, many primary schools now have traditional medicine classes, and many children started learning traditional medicine early.

They memorize different kinds of treatment and learn pharmacology. The real traditional medicine practitioner could detect all kinds of complex illnesses, including but not limited to tumors, without the help of any equipment.

Gwen interrupted him rudely. “The top forces in the traditional medicine world indeed have such ability, but there are very few such talents. However, modern medicine is different. Modern medicine is more prevalent. The examination using instruments is more scientific.

“Let’s not talk about anything else. Take the example of pregnancy, traditional medicine will need at least a month to determine if one is pregnant. Modern medicine only needs a week using a blood test.”

“Miss Raven, please learn to respect others!” Annalise’s voice solemnly penetrated the microphone.

Below the stage, Julian led the applause. Henry had always been an active person. Not only did he applaud, but he also shouted. “Good! Well said. Be polite before anything else.”

Gwen was furious. She declared, “I was just in a hurry. There’s no need for Ms. Barton to be upset.

Today is a debate, not an etiquette class. Ms. Barton, don’t find fault with me when you have lost.”

Annalise spoke slowly. “We’ve just started the debate, and Miss Raven is already saying that the traditional medicine team has lost? Are you a judge? Does Miss Raven think that politeness isn’t important? Alright, let’s continue the debate. It’s your turn!”

On Gwen’s side, a male doctor was holding the microphone and preparing to argue. Gwen beat him to it and said, “Let’s continue the topic just now. We’ve already mentioned the example of a pregnant woman.

“I shall use the other examples of female illnesses. It is difficult to differentiate between different types of illnesses using traditional medicine’s detection methods because the symptoms of various inflammations are very similar. It is easy to get it wrong during treatment.

“But modern medicine is different. We can use ultrasound or test the secretions to obtain scientific and accurate results. We can prescribe the right medicine to cure the illness. There’s also one more thing….” Annalise interrupted her. “Traditional medicine practitioners don’t need to take one’s pulse to tell what’s wrong. Looking at one’s face, we can tell that someone’s liver is unhealthy. If one can’t sleep at night, then the kidneys are deficient. In your case, you will have acne tomorrow.”

Below the stage, Julian smiled again, looking proud. His darling wife finally shed her mask. Her ability to fight back is impressive. Henry’s jaws dropped exaggeratedly and he tugged at Julian’s sleeve.

“Julian, are Mrs. Parks’ medical skills so awesome?” “Yes,” Julian replied.

Henry looked at Annalise with admiration. Lianne looked at Annalise with glowing eyes. Julian will be even better! Sybil’s face was filled with respect. She smiled and said to Julian, “Impressive. You even managed to find a gem. I thought you were not serious.”
