Owen was so angry that the hair on his face trembled, but he still shamelessly sat next to Qin Shiming.
"Ahem."
Seeing that Qin Shiming wanted to start a fight, Shen Lang, who had had enough of the excitement, started to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, let's stop arguing. Tonight we all mainly want to thank Mr. Qin, waiter, please serve the food quickly."
"Yes, I mainly want to thank Dr. Qin tonight." Bruce also helped Owen speak.
"There's nothing to thank you for, it's just your duty as a doctor."
Qin Shiming waved his hand in disinterest, but gave up as soon as he saw the opportunity, and did not continue to challenge Irving.
When the food was served, it was natural to drink. Bruce couldn't drink, he could only drink drinks. After Shen Lang and Bruce toasted twice, Owen finally couldn't hold back and picked up the wine glass.
"Dr. Qin, I admire your medical skills very much, but I hope you can tell me why you hate me? Why do you hate Western medicine?"
Irving has to figure out what he did wrong?
"If it's because I underestimated Chinese medicine before, I apologize to you..."
"unnecessary."
Qin Shiming interrupted: "You don't need to apologize to me. You should apologize to Miss Bruce Kelly. If it weren't for me, she would still be in the intensive care unit now. At the same time, she would be missing a leg."
"This is a standard Western medicine treatment plan. When the virus starts to spread and cannot be controlled, decisive measures must be taken. Amputation is the only way Western medicine can do it. What am I wrong about?"
Irving argued hard and felt that he was right.
"Then why can Miss Bruce sit at the same table with us and eat now? Has the snake venom spread on her legs? Has she had her legs amputated?" Qin Shiming originally didn't want to talk to Owen, because this guy was too verbose.
"That's because your medical skills are great, and Chinese medicine is amazing..."
"..."
Owen's answer left Qin Shiming speechless. Isn't this a shame?
"Dr. Qin, can you tell me what principles you use to treat Miss Bruce? I have tested your ointment. Ten grams of the ointment contains toxins that can kill an adult cow."
Owen changed the topic and looked like he was asking for advice humbly.
"It's easy to understand. Fight fire with fire."
Qin Shiming spread his hands, "It's just like when the Chickens attacked your treasure port, and then you backhandedly threw two mushroom clouds at the Chickens. This is called fighting violence with violence, and it's also called fighting fire with poison."
"Well, neither of you are good guys anyway."
"puff!"
Shen Lang on the side heard the second half of Qin Shiming's sentence and couldn't hold it back. All the tea in his mouth spurted out. Fortunately, okay, Qin Shiming's last half sentence was in his own language, and those two idiots couldn't understand it.
.
"Oh my gosh, it's really, really great wisdom. Fight fire with fire. It's so wonderful. I understand. I finally understand!"
Sure enough, this idiot Irving didn't know that Qin Shiming was scolding him, so he looked so excited that he looked like a master.
"So, arsenic trioxide is not just a poison. As long as it is used properly, it can also be used as medicine, right?" Owen is very smart and can draw inferences from one example.
Arsenic trioxide is what people often call arsenic, a highly toxic substance.
In Chinese medicine, there is a saying that arsenic can save people when it comes, and licorice when it comes can kill people. This is actually a satire on Chinese medicine, but it also reflects from the side that poison can really save people sometimes.
Master Li Chengfeng left a medical record book for Qin Shiming, all of which were real cases and were passed down from generation to generation by Li Chengfeng's masters. They mainly recorded some strange diseases.
Among them, Li Chengfeng encountered many similar cases. Going back thirty years ago, the Yanhuang Kingdom was very poor and backward, and the lives of farmers living in remote mountain villages were even more difficult.
There was no Western medicine at that time, and there were at most one or two barefoot doctors in two or three villages. The barefoot doctors were also responsible for delivering babies to old sows and big oxen in the village. There was no way, and medical resources were extremely scarce.
So poor.
In addition, the thinking at that time was old and feudal. For example, if you were too poor, if you got seriously ill, or were paralyzed in bed, etc., if you didn't want to drag down your family and couldn't survive, you would choose to commit suicide. Suicide by drinking pesticides was one of them.
Master Li Chengfeng once met an old lady from the countryside who was over eighty years old. She felt that she had lived too long and was a burden to her son and daughter-in-law, so she drank two bottles of pesticide, a total of about fifty milliliters, which was specially formulated to kill
Insect.
After drinking, he put on his shroud and lay down on the bed to wait for death. But who knew that not only did the old lady not die, she farted loudly twice. Her stomach, which was not smooth at first, became clear and comfortable.
Later the old lady lived to be over ninety years old...
"Of course, in your Eagle Country, even smoking marijuana is legal."
Qin Shiming raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips was a bit sarcastic.
What is marijuana? To put it bluntly, drugs that are not very pure are just as addictive, but the Eagle Country has actually legalized it.
"Hmm."
Owen couldn't answer this question, and he couldn't discuss it. He looked at Bruce Kelly and said, "So, what do you think is the reason why Miss Bruce's leg is so serious?"
"It's very simple. The snake venom has not been completely removed, as evidenced by the blackening of one leg. The reason why the toxin was not extracted from its blood at the beginning is that many toxins are deceptive. For example, the influenza virus is updated every year.
It’s constantly changing.”
When they talked about viruses, Qin Shiming was not in the mood to eat anymore. He lit up a cigarette and stared at Owen with a burning gaze. "There are always some restless people in your Eagle Kingdom. They always like to study viruses and blame all diseases on viruses."
"Isn't it?"
Owen thinks it's right. What's wrong with studying various viruses? Only by understanding viruses can we completely eliminate them.
"A person accidentally fell downstairs while walking, and then broke his leg and hand. Is this also caused by a virus?" Qin Shiming rolled his eyes.
"..."
"As far as I know, more than a month ago, a medical team from your Eagle Nation entered the Antarctic for investigation in an attempt to resurrect an ancient virus that was hundreds of thousands of years ago, right?"
Qin Shiming then asked.
"Yes, medicine has no limits, we want better..."
"fart!"
Qin Shiming cursed and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, you are just researching bacteria and viruses, spreading them out, and infecting animals and even humans. Then your medical institutions and medical companies can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."
,Is it right?"
"No, no, no, absolutely not..."
"No? Humph!"
Qin Shiming sneered, "Before the invention of Western medicine, at least in the Yanhuang Kingdom, there was no such thing as cancer or tumors. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is just that there is something wrong with the health system, so just strengthen the defense."
"Tell me, how much money have you made from anti-cancer drugs? Don't you have any idea?"
