"I'm not discussing Western medicine versus Chinese medicine with you now, don't change the subject. Okay, just as you said before, you claimed football existed for thousands of years and that cuju from the Song Dynasty was football. Does that prove Chinese football is better than theirs? I don't want to argue with you, it's pointless. I just want to tell you, we need to be objective; science is objective. There's no fear in having a gap, but denying the gap and insisting we're advanced is hopeless. Does declaring ourselves advanced make us advanced?" Li Guodong refuted him line by line.

"Then use Powder for Anesthesia to perform surgery instead of learning modern medicine." Li Guodong retaliated with another jab.

"You're the kind of person who worships foreign things and belittles yourself while elevating others. If a war breaks out, people like you are most likely to be traitors, foreign lackeys." Zhao Wenbo said angrily, resorting to personal attacks.

"Why do you like to label people? If it's a debate, then debate with facts and reason; why do you keep putting labels on others? Is it interesting? We were just discussing medicine, how did you drag in traitors and foreign lackeys? Aren't you also a graduate student of modern medicine now? By your logic, aren't you a traitor, a foreign lackey too?" Li Guodong was too lazy to deal with him.

Every time these two debated, there was a tense atmosphere. Zhao Wenbo spoke rapidly and emotionally, while Li Guodong remained calm, always trying to analyze the problem through logical reasoning.

"I'm studying modern medicine but I don't belittle myself or elevate others. I'm not undermining everyone's confidence. What you're doing is just holding European and American feet in esteem, claiming everything about them is good, ignoring the progress of our domestic doctors." Zhao Wenbo snorted and said.

Li Guodong smiled slightly: "Earlier we were talking about the difference in medical levels between our doctors and European and American doctors, not who is progressing faster. Do you understand logic? Do you know what debate is? You're purely emotional. I'm not erasing our doctors' progress. We are indeed advancing, and in some areas we are even leading. But we must face the fact that in most aspects, we are behind. Just facing more cases and gaining experience is just one measure of advanced or backwardness, not everything. Understand?"

Li Guodong didn't want everyone to have their thoughts disturbed by Zhao Wenbo, which is why he debated with him, otherwise he wouldn't bother.

Yang Ping heard their conversation and smiled to himself. He never cared about these societal issues; his mindset was quite unique. In life, he might lack rich social experience since most of his time was spent learning and working, but in medicine, his experience surpassed anyone's. This severe imbalance made him indifferent to social topics.

To Yang Ping, whether it's doctors or the medical industry, there are definitely gaps compared to developed countries, but he believes there can be surpassing in the future.

Regarding the medical system, while there are many shortcomings, there are also many strengths. This inclusive medical system ensures a balance between the medical efficiency and quality for over a billion people, unlike foreign free medical care which may require waiting months for surgery or years for checkups.

Those praising foreign free medical care most likely have never been abroad or experienced its inefficiencies, speaking out of fantasy. The vast scale of Chinese healthcare maintains a balance between efficiency and quality.

Seeing Yang Ping come in, they stopped debating, Zhao Wenbo's face flushed red, clearly still unwilling to give up, wanting to keep arguing with Li Guodong.

"Nothing to do? All work done? I'm going to check the case files." Zhang Lin immediately dismissed everyone.

Adams has decided to stay at Sanbo Hospital, and he requested Yang Ping's team to treat him with any method he's willing to accept.

Actually, such latest methods must be used on the patients most eager for them; this way compliance is good, and disputes are avoided.

Yang Ping had heard from senior colleagues about lumbar disc protrusion patients undergoing surgery; the timing must be when their pain is most severe and persistent. Only then would they feel the surgery is worthwhile. If not done at that time, post-surgery they might regret and blame the hospital, feeling too much treatment was given since recalling their pre-surgery symptoms wasn't that severe, and surgery didn't seem necessary.

Similarly, when directly applying K Therapy clinically, Yang Ping would never proactively seek patients, as he previously suffered a setback in an experiment when patients were found by doctors, leading to lots of skepticism. However, when patients actively seek out and volunteer for treatment, their mindset is different—they see this method as their last straw.

This involves some psychology, a challenge that researchers must face.

Yang Ping wasn't playing tricks on the patients but conducting psychological assessments to implement interventions when compliance is highest, ensuring the best compliance from patients, optimal laboratory effects, and minimal social disputes.

For some reason, even though Yang Ping hadn't agreed for him to participate in the K Therapy experiment, Adams was full of confidence in Yang Ping, perhaps because of the strong confidence exuding from his demeanor.

After Adams settled in, he felt very stable and safe, relying on a pile of crutches, roaming around the hospital looking at this and that, curious about what makes this hospital produce a genius like Yang Ping.

He discovered that many foreigners were receiving treatment at this hospital, especially in the International Clinic where foreigners were coming in and out. China actually has such an international hospital.

In the hospital garden, Adams ran into Morris who was walking with his two daughters. They chatted while strolling, and Adams learned from their conversation that these were the conjoined twin sisters who had recently made headlines worldwide.

It's embarrassing. Adams was one of those who opposed and condemned Professor Yang, very actively, representing the British medical academic circle. He had watched the surgery later, and although he couldn't understand it, he knew that the surgery had been a tremendous success.

Now, these conjoined twins were in front of him, chatting and laughing. Back then, people said what? That such surgery was impossible, and Professor Yang was recklessly experimenting with life without any sense of research ethics.

Adams was unsure if Professor Yang knew about his ridiculous behavior at the time. If he knew, there's no way Professor Yang would agree to treat him.

Truly, the boomerang hit Adams himself. If he now joins Professor Yang's volunteer experiments, would people worldwide condemn Professor Yang for disrespecting life, lacking ethics, and using untested clinical methods recklessly on patients just for experimental data?

Thinking of this, Adams was somewhat fearful, fearing he might face such public criticism. The power of public opinion is known to him since he himself was part of it, and a significant one too.

"Hi! Hello!"

The older sister of the conjoined twins noticed Morris watching them, and she cheerfully waved to greet.

Morris looked over, recognizing his "fellow countryman," also greeted Adams.

"I'm Adams, from the United Kingdom. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Morris, American. These are my daughters; they're very happy now."

"Are you...the conjoined twins that made worldwide headlines?" Adams sought confirmation.

"Yes, I'm the older sister."

"I'm the younger sister!"

The two lively children spoke first, with Mossley smiling slightly to affirm.

Sure enough, it was them. Not only had the surgery succeeded, but their spines had fully recovered, now indistinguishable from normal individuals.

"It's so great to meet you. I remember you're an American doctor." Adams said to Morris.

Morris smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm a neurosurgeon."
