Chapter 261: First Signs of Talent

Bai Zhi didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "The biggest characteristic of this hallucinogenic drug is that it damages the brain nerves, devours a person's consciousness, and numbs nerve function. Our treatment philosophy is to remove toxins from the body and repair the brain nerves."

"Of course, I don't mean to reject Western medicine. In terms of Western medicine, central nervous system depressants such as diazepam and chlorpromazine, as well as hormone drugs, are often used to temporarily calm and relieve symptoms."

Chlorpromazine is known as the "death hormone" because it causes too much damage to the body. We do not recommend its use unless absolutely necessary. However, this would be a different matter if a patient requires integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment later on.

Other opioid receptor agonists and antagonists are not yet widely available in China.

In the past, before they developed traditional Chinese medicine-based green detoxification therapies, these psychotropic drugs would indeed have been ranked highly.

But since she has access to healthier and safer treatments, she naturally won't use these drugs that are extremely harmful to her body anymore.

Expert Wang was surprised to learn that Bai Zhi understood Western medicine.

Although I don't know if she learned it at the last minute, her presence was so strong that it didn't seem like she was acting.

The other doctors remained silent, their expressions varying.

It's clear that Expert Wang's attempt to intimidate him failed.

At this moment, a kind-looking middle-aged doctor walked over and introduced himself to Bai Zhi, "Dr. Bai, I am Chen Xueyi."

"Deputy Director Chen, hello, I've heard so much about you."

Deputy Director Chen smiled and said, "Me too, I've long admired your name."

Deputy Director Chen took the lead in exchanging pleasantries with Bai Zhi, and the others also symbolically came over to introduce themselves.

At this point, Expert Wang spoke up again, "It's like this, we put two rats in the lab this morning to simulate a human detoxification experiment, we can go over now."

Bai Zhi responded, "No problem."

When Bai Zhi arrived, she brought her silver needle pouch, as well as moxibustion sticks and other items.

Upon entering the laboratory, expert Wang Gui briefed Bai Zhi on the situation of the two rats.

They said the injected drug was the same type of substance as the one Lu Ye was given.

Hopefully, their work will begin with this rat.

He meant to separate the treatment into two options, one of which was to use sedative drugs.

The other one was given to Bai Zhi.

"No problem." As the team leader, she would use her medical skills to shut them all up.

Stop making futile struggles.

Upon hearing Dr. Wang's explanation, Shen Qian asked Bai Zhi in a low voice, "Dr. Bai, can this rat be treated with acupuncture?"

As far as she knew, Bai Zhi was best at acupuncture treatment, but that was for human patients.

The cadaver in front of us is actually a large rat.

Giving herbal medicine won't be effective that quickly.

Seeing Shen Qian's worried expression, Bai Zhi nodded.

"Okay, I'll try, but if it moves, I might not be able to find the right acupoints and could accidentally kill it. I'll need someone to help me."

Bai Zhi's feelings about joining the research and development team were actually quite complicated.

Without these people, she could have solved the problem herself based on her experience from her previous life.

These experts are still trying to test her with a skeptical attitude.

The treatment they developed is a pure traditional Chinese medicine treatment. These Western doctors got involved, but they don't understand traditional Chinese medicine.

They're clearly not convinced now.

However, she also understood Vice President Li's arrangement.

They are all highly respected experts.

They need to master this medical skill to save more of their fellow sufferers.

She herself also needs to rely on their fame to gain a foothold.

Right now, she's just a young TCM doctor in her early twenties, and her reputation in her previous life was earned through a long period of hard work.

It's unrealistic to think you can conquer everyone in this life just by relying on memories of your past life.

She needs to work tirelessly and prove herself constantly to help more people understand and trust Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and to help TCM regain its former glory.

Bai Zhi watched as the rat assigned to her became extremely agitated, as if it were showing signs of an attack.

It's unknown how many medications were injected.

However, this situation requires timely intervention.

She asked Deputy Director Chen and Shen Qian,

"Who will catch this rat?"

Asking other people is pointless; these two are the only reliable ones so far.

Perhaps because he practices traditional Chinese medicine, Deputy Director Chen rarely comes into contact with laboratory animals, and at this moment, a look of fear appeared on his face.

As a military doctor, Shen Qian was naturally not going to be frightened by such a small thing. She spoke up boldly.

"I'll do it."

After speaking, he grabbed the rat.

"Expose its ears; I need to perform acupuncture on the ear apex, the Shuigou point, and the Tianmen point..."

Bai Zhi held a slender silver needle in her hand, slowly inserting it into the delicate acupoints, while also explaining to them, "This acupoint is too fragile; you can't insert it straight in, you must insert it 1mm upwards. And the Tianmen acupoint, you must insert it obliquely..."

Bai Zhi was used as a silver needle to prick three times. Shen Qian held it in her hand and after about five minutes, it gradually calmed down.

"Is it enough to needle these three acupoints?" Deputy Director Chen asked Bai Zhi eagerly.

Bai Zhi replied, "Acupuncture points are one aspect, but the depth and force of acupuncture are also very important factors, especially for such fragile rats. If the force is not controlled properly, it can be fatal."

Deputy Director Chen, who had been very enthusiastic, immediately withdrew his idea of ​​giving it a try.

He hadn't quite seen how Bai Zhi had swiftly and accurately inserted the silver needle into the rat's ear tip acupoint.

Watching Bai Zhi's acupuncture techniques, he couldn't help but sigh, "There are always people more skilled than you."

He sits in the outpatient clinic for so long that he seems to be stuck in his ways.

They really should humble themselves and learn new things.

"How long can it maintain this state after the acupuncture?" Shen Qian asked.

"About twelve hours."

She explained, "It's the same time as when Company Commander Lu controlled the acupuncture."

The other rat over here has already been injected with the drug.

It was expert Wang who was operating it.

Perhaps because of his elderly father, Director Zhou's attitude towards Bai Zhi has changed significantly.

He didn't participate in either side at this moment; he just stood there, looking around with a complicated expression.

However, after he fully understood the treatment with Angelica dahurica, he experienced immense psychological pressure.

As the head of the Department of Internal Medicine (Western Medicine), his only role in this research and development team was to provide systematic treatment for patients.

But this Angelica dahurica can also be used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Therefore, he felt that he had no use for his talents at all.

Although his family has a long tradition of practicing traditional Chinese medicine, he had never been exposed to it since he was young.

And they have always regarded traditional Chinese medicine as pseudoscience.

Now he has to admit a problem: the reason his father couldn't cure other people's illnesses back then wasn't because of the nature of traditional Chinese medicine, but simply because the Zhou family's ancestral traditional Chinese medicine skills were not refined.

He shouldn't dismiss all traditional Chinese medicine practitioners because of this.

After both treatments are completed,

After leaving the lab, Bai Zhi washed the fruit that Lu Shan had brought for everyone.

Even though they had disagreements about medical skills, Bai Zhi remained humble and polite, saying, "Seniors, please have some fruit."

"Thank you." Director Zhou took a slice of watermelon first.
