Chapter 738 An Invitation from the World Medical Association

He introduced his illness and kept burping. It looked a little funny, but they could see from his look that this man was in considerable pain.

One would feel very comfortable if he burped occasionally and could also accept it if he burped twice in a short time. However, if he kept burping and could not even stop while sleeping at night, he would be in extreme pain.

After the middle-aged man finished his words, Rooney asked again, "Mr. Zhang, have you ever turned to traditional Chinese medicine for assistance during this period?"

The middle-aged man said, "Of course I have! Except for some national grand doctors who are particularly difficult to meet, I have visited all the other famous doctors, but they could do nothing about my illness."

A shadow of a smile touched Rooney's mouth. Finally, he could gain an advantage against traditional Chinese medicine.

He said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry. I've created another new pill recently and it's effective for your illness. It works faster and its effects can also last longer."

The middle-aged man said with great joy, "Great! President Rooney, thank you so much!"

Rooney nodded and then looked at Qin Haodong with triumph. "Mr. Qin, I have to say that there are some diseases that you Chinese medicine practitioners can't cure, so the patient can only turn to us for help."

Seeing the foreigner showing off to him, Qin Haodong shook his head with a wry smile.

Rooney asked, "What's the problem, Mr. Qin? Is there anything else you're suspicious of?"

Qin Haodong said, "President Rooney, in fact, the patient doesn't even need to take pills for this illness at all. But under your guidance, he has to take medicine for a long time and will even relapse at a certain time. I don't know what you're proud of."

Then he turned around and said to the middle-aged man, "If I'm not mistaken, the medicine is quite expensive, isn't it?"

"Yes, of course. It costs tens of thousands per month. But the medicine is my only hope and I have to pay for it."

A bitter smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, but he suddenly realized that what he had said seemed to be inappropriate. He quickly looked at Rooney and was worried that the vice president of the World Medical Association might have been offended by his words and would not agree to treat him anymore.

Rooney's face immediately clouded over. He had always been proud of himself for curing Mr. Zhang's illness. But now all his previous efforts were condemned as useless. He was very bitter about Qin Haodong's comments.

"Mr. Qin, you've heard it just now. Mr. Zhang has seen a lot of Chinese medicine practitioners, but none of them could cure his disease. It is me who finally found the correct method to help him."

"Mr. Rooney, you're wrong. You didn't cure his disease; you just relieved his symptoms. You didn't solve the problem fundamentally."

Rooney was unconvinced and said, "Mr. Qin, it's already amazing to relieve the symptoms for such disease whose cause can't be found yet. Only the high-end talents of our World Medical Association can develop such kind of medicine."

Qin Haodong shook his head and then asked the middle-aged man, "Are you having an illness episode now?"

The middle-aged man kept burping and said, "Yes, it has started again in the past few days, but I'm not at the worst now. At that time, I might burp every three or five seconds.

"This illness will not kill me, and it won't even stop me from eating or drinking. But it tortures me and I nearly wanted to commit suicide several times."

"Don't worry. I can cure your illness without pills. But it's a little painful. Please endure it."

The middle-aged man asked in great surprise, "Young man, are you serious?"

Rooney said, "No… no, it's impossible. Mr. Qin, you're bragging…"

"I'm serious. You'll see." Qin Haodong smiled and said to the middle-aged man, "Take a deep breath and I'll treat you right away."

The middle-aged man followed his instructions and took a deep breath. But Qin Haodong suddenly punched him in the stomach while he inhaled.

It was a hard punch. Caught off guard, the middle-aged man suddenly fell and curled up in pain.

All the people around them were stunned. They didn't know what was wrong with Qin Haodong. Why did he suddenly attack this man?

Rooney was astonished. He soon calmed down and said, "Mr. Zhang, please don't do this. How can you hit my patient? It's immoral to hurt the patients…"

After a short period of pain, the middle-aged man slowly stood up and shouted at Qin Haodong angrily, "What are you doing? How can you hit me?"

Qin Haodong said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, I've told you that my treatment might be a little painful and you have to endure it. See? Are you still burping now?"

Only then did the middle-aged man realize that he had actually stopped burping. He said excitedly, "Ah! I'm well now! Young man, you're a magical doctor!"

To cure his disease, he had spent almost all his money and visited all the famous doctors across the world. But none of them could help him. He didn't expect that Qin Haodong could solve his problem all at once by punching him.

Rooney looked even more shocked than before, with his mouth wide open. He had never thought that his patient, who was an excellent example to show his medical skills, would be cured by Qin Haodong with a punch.

"Mr. Qin, your method is so special. But are you sure that he's fully recovered now?"

Qin Haodong shook his head and said, "No, he will relapse in two years."

Mr. Zhang said, "It doesn't matter. Two years is quite a long time and I'm satisfied. Mr. Qin, I'll come to you and ask for another punch in two years."

The punch caused suffering to him, but being punched by Qin Haodong was better than visiting doctors across the world. The World Medical Association had finally accepted him, but he had been humiliated and abused during this process.

Qin Haodong said, "That's too much trouble. In fact, it can be completely cured as long as I can find its cause."

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Haodong open-eyed. "Young man, can you really find out the cause of my disease?"

The other doctors had all failed to find the cause of his disease even with their advanced instruments. He might have thought that Qin Haodong was a madman if he hadn't relieved his symptoms.

Qin Haodong explained, "You're quite special. If I'm reading it correctly, you have a congenital cold constitution, and you've felt cold a lot since you were a kid."

The middle-aged man kept nodding. "Young man, you're right. I do feel cold a lot."

Qin Haodong continued, "Based on your constitution, you should live somewhere with heavy Yang Qi, but you moved to a cold place several years ago. If I'm not mistaken, you must live by a river."

The middle-aged man tried to recall what had happened three years ago and suddenly he cried out excitedly, "Young man, you're right! I bought a house with a lake view three years ago, and soon after that, I started to burp."

Qin Haodong said, "That's the problem. You're not fit to live by a river with your special constitution."

The middle-aged man said excitedly, "Young man, do you mean that I'll be fully recovered after moving?"

"Yes. Besides, according to your special constitution, you should quit smoking and drinking, have fewer cold drinks and cold food, and eat more black beans, mutton, and other foods that can increase blood flow and strengthen your Yang Qi."

"I got it! Thank you so much, Mr. Qin."

Then he took out two piles of banknotes and gave them to Qin Haodong. "Young man, here's my medical fee. Please take it."

Qin Haodong gave the money back to the middle-aged man and explained, "Forget it. I'm giving a lesson now, and it's not even an official treatment. So you don't have to pay for it."

Qin Haodong insisted on his opinion and the middle-aged man could only take the money back. Then he asked, "Young man, may I have your name? I have to know who my benefactor is."

"He's Qin Haodong, the Medical Sage of Huaxia."

With imperfect Huaxia language, Alice walked up to the podium in a leisurely manner. She looked around the classroom and said to her subordinates, "Rooney, Nedved, what do you think? Are you convinced now?"

Rooney was stubborn, but he was convinced by Qin Haodong's medical skills after the class. He said sincerely, "President Alice, we are really convinced. Traditional Chinese medicine is quite magical and it's worth studying."

The others also agreed with him. "President Alice, we're all convinced…"

"President Alice, we misunderstood traditional Chinese medicine before. This is indeed a magical medical skill…"

"Mr. Qin is the best doctor I've ever seen…"

Seeing that Qin Haodong had convinced these arrogant foreigners with his magical skills and won the honor for Huaxia and the traditional Chinese medicine, all the students present burst into thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time.

After the applause died, Alice said to Qin Haodong, "Dear Qin, I'm inviting you to join us on behalf of the World Medical Association. Do you want to join us?"

Hearing her words, all the students, who had just calmed down, became excited once again. The World Medical Association represented the top medical skills of the world. Although they had some Huaxia people, all of them were Western medicine doctors.

Qin Haodong would be the first doctor of traditional Chinese medicine who had joined the World Medical Association if he took the offer. Alice's invitation indicated that doctors across the world had begun to accept traditional Chinese medicine.

Shao Weimin and Wan Taisong looked at Qin Haodong with excitement, expecting him to accept Alice's invitation.

However, Qin Haodong shook his head. How could he work in the World Medical Association with the Alien Demons being around human beings?

"Miss Alice, thank you for your invitation, but the World Medical Association is not suitable for me."

Everyone was surprised that Qin Haodong had turned down Alice's offer. They didn't understand why he would let go of such a rare opportunity.

"Dear Qin, why did you refuse? Well then, if you agree to join us, I will appoint you as the vice president of the World Medical Association. That's all I can do for you."

To everyone's surprise, Alice did not give up. Instead, she added weight to her offer. Rooney was now the only vice president of the World Medical Association, but if Qin Haodong joined them, he would become the other vice president, who was inferior to no one but President Alice.

"Oh my god, this is great. If I were him, I would immediately accept the invitation…"

"Yes, this is the honor of our Chinese medical community and the honor of traditional Chinese medicine…"

Everyone cheered excitedly. In their opinion, Mr. Qin would definitely accept the offer this time.

But to everyone's astonishment, Qin Haodong shook his head once again and said, "President Alice, I'm too busy to work at the World Medical Association. I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Alice was also quite surprised. It was a generous offer, so she wondered why Qin Haodong had turned it down once again.

"Qin, what are you going to do? Are you going to save the Earth?"

Qin Haodong smiled. That was exactly what he was going to do. If the Alien Demons launched an attack, the whole Earth would become their territory.

"Miss Alice, you're right. I really need to save the Earth."

He was telling the truth, but Alice thought that it was just a joke.

"Well, Qin, how about this? You will be the honorary vice president of the World Medical Association. You don't have to be there all the time. You just need to come over and exchange medical skills with our experts when you're available. Is that okay for you?"

Qin Haodong thought about her offer for a while. Being the honorary vice president was a good choice. He could go over there when he was available. And it could also improve the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine.

He said, "President Alice, I accept your invitation."
