Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 193 Traditional Vs Modern Medicine

All kinds of media reporters were waiting in front of the operating theater of Metropolis Hospital. As soon as

the door to the operating theater opened, they immediately went up for an interview.

Jonathan would personally act as the chief surgeon. Annalise and a few other traditional medicine

practitioners would go in to assist him.

Because Jonathan still had to bring his two personal assistants, only four people from the traditional medicine team

could enter.

Ludwig was curious. He insisted on going in and assisting Jonathan.

Graham also wanted to go in and observe Jonathan perform the surgery.

In the past, Graham could not let go of his status. He used to think everyone should respect him.

But now, his viewpoint had suddenly changed. He saw hope in the younger generation of practitioners and believed

they would surpass their seniors.

He wanted to see how talented the world-famous Jonathan was.

Hector also wanted to go in, but he gave up the opportunity to his favorite disciple.

The surgery team was finalized.

During the surgery, Jonathan’s eyes lit like fire. His hand holding the knife was precise and powerful. When he

removed part of the patient’s liver, he did not hesitate at all. Every cut was decisive and accurate.

Graham was amazed.

No wonder Jonathan was so famous. How could ordinary people compare to him?

“Anna, take a look,” Jonathan called out.

Annalise glanced at it and gestured. “From here, to here.”

Jonathan used the scalpel again.

Graham was even more amazed.

Did the internationally renowned Jonathan listen to what Annalise had to say?

He leaned over and saw that the area that Annalise gestured made perfect sense.

Although Graham had always majored in traditional medicine, he also had some achievements in modern medicine.

He knew how surgeries should be performed.

He knew very well that a surgical procedure placed high requirements on the chief surgeon.

He could not help but take a few more glances at Annalise.

There was only one possibility why Jonathan listened to Annalise’s opinion. It meant that Annalise’s medical skills

were comparable to Jonathan’s..

It would be great if someone with such great potential could become his disciple.

As Graham thought about it, he looked at Annalise intensely. It was as if he was looking at his beloved disciple.

As for the modern medicine team…

Gwen was the chief surgeon.

Although Gwen was not emotionally intelligent and was self-righteous, always feeling like she was better than others

in everything, she was very capable in the medical field.

Under her leadership, the surgery was very successful.

However, cancer was not something that could be treated with surgery.

To prevent the cancer cells from spreading, a long period of chemotherapy radiation therapy was required.

During chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the body would produce all kinds of immune reactions. If the patient

survived, they would live for a few more years. But some would not survive.

Chemotherapy and radiation would destroy cancer cells. But they would also attack other healthy cells.

Many people’s bodies could not withstand it. When their cancer and healthy cells were destroyed, their bodies

became crippled. They could not even withstand any exposure to the outdoor weather.

However, there was no better solution at the moment.

Gwen completed the surgery and looked up at the clock on the wall. It took two hours and seventeen minutes.

Finishing a liver cancer surgery in such a short time was exactly what she wanted.

She guessed that Jonathan was not done yet.

She knew about Jonathan’s story. But despite being so hardworking and having performed so many surgeries, he

was still slow.

She left the operating theater first.

At first, she thought that Jonathan had yet to leave the operating theater, but she noticed that he was already

standing at the entrance of the operating theater, calmly accepting an interview.

The reporter asked Jonathan sharply, “Professor Woods, are you using modern medicine techniques to perform

surgery? Do you think the fact that you used modern medicine techniques was a concession to modern medicine,

admitting that modern medicine is better than traditional medicine?”

When Gwen walked out of the operating theater and realized that Jonathan had finished the surgery earlier than

her, she was very upset.

But after hearing the reporter’s question, she smiled and looked in Jonathan’s direction.

However, he heard Jonathan ask the reporter, “Which eye of yours saw me treat him with modern medicine?”

The reporter was displeased after being rebuked by Jonathan. He continued to ask sharply, “Professor Woods,

didn’t you guys perform a surgery? Isn’t surgery a modern medicine technique?”

Jonathan glanced indifferently in Gwen’s direction before retracting his gaze to answer the reporter’s question.

“Who told you that surgery is a modern medicine technique? In Chanaea, surgery was recorded more than 1,000

years ago. Have you heard of drainage through abdominal and back incisions? After the anesthetic powder was

invented, the patient would lose consciousness after its application. Then, the physician would cut the patient’s

abdomen open and remove the swelling.

“In ancient times, we also had surgical sutures called mulberry threads. They could be absorbed by the body. There

was no need to remove them from the wound.

“How many treasures did our ancestors leave behind? Why would we need to use others’ methods?

“My dear friend, it’s not your fault for not knowing. But if you don’t know the truth and take the wrong stance, that

is problematic.”

The reporter was speechless after Jonathan rebuked him.

He suspected that Jonathan was lying to him, so he immediately searched for the earliest surgery in Chanaea on his

phone.

Realizing what Jonathan said was true, he immediately felt ashamed.

The other reporters were very skillful at interviewing Jonathan. “Professor Woods, do you have confidence in

winning this battle between traditional and modern medicine?”

“Of course. Our traditional medicine is the best,” Jonathan said.

Ms. Tuffin had taught them and sent them overseas. She told them to study hard. She only had one request for

them, which was to return to Chanaea after completing their studies and give back to Chanaea.

After all, traditional medicine practitioners had received all the wisdom and essence of their ancestors. If they

extracted some of the merits of modern medicine and practiced their newfound knowledge, they would bring

Chanaea’s medical profession to greater heights.

*Professor Woods, will you be conducting chemotherapy and radiation therapy next? Or will you be using traditional

acupuncture treatment?” another reporter asked.

“I’ll announce it later,” Jonathan said.

“Professor Woods, may I ask…”

“Professor Woods…”

The reporters surrounded Jonathan and kept asking him questions.

Gwen was all by herself. No reporters came to pay attention to her. It was as if they were all blind toward her.

After everyone asked Jonathan around ten questions, a reporter finally saw Gwen. Immediately, he raised his

microphone and asked, “Doctor Raven, are you confident in winning this competition between traditional and

modern medicine?”

Gwen raised her chin slightly and looked at the reporter. She answered coldly, I’m very confident.”

With that, she walked straight to the end of the corridor,

She sneered. They addressed Jonathan as Professor Woods, but she was only Doctor Raven.

She might be young, Gwen thought, but she also had a title.

Besides, the reporter only remembered to interview her after so much time had passed. How could she possibly

entertain him?

Gwen was waiting for the chance to humiliate those reporters and the traditional medicine practitioners. That day,

the reporters had ignored her. A few days later, she would make sure she was out of their league.
