Chapter 81: Fame Spreads Throughout the Land
Seven days passed quietly, but for Zhonghai Yiyuan and Chinese medicine masters like Shen Renzhuang and Guan Shuisheng, it was a year in a day. Tang Zheng bore the reputation of Zhonghai Yiyuan on his shoulders, bearing the hope of Chinese medicine's rise to prominence. If he were to be slapped in the face this time, the consequences would be unthinkable. The outside world would view Chinese medicine and Zhonghai Yiyuan in what way?
Fake hospital? Fake TCM? That's for sure. When the time comes, Zhonghai Hospital and the entire TCM community will face tremendous pressure from around the world questioning TCM.
Seven days later, with Tang Zheng having completed his final treatment, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, more than 300 media outlets from all over the world had their cameras trained on Tang Zheng, and Carlson and others were also looking at him, waiting for him to personally announce the end of the first phase of treatment.
Tang Zheng's gaze met with Shen Renzhou and Guan Shuisheng for a moment, then looked at Qin Yuanchang again, and finally swept over the faces of the doctors and nurses in the cerebral palsy department. The eyes of these people were filled with expectation and confidence.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Zheng said in an extremely calm tone: "The first stage of treatment has ended. You can all come into contact with the patient now."
Behind Tang Zheng, the door opened and Xiao Dani's parents, with excited faces, supported Xiao Dani as they walked out.
This scene suddenly made everyone exclaim in surprise.
"My God, what am I seeing? Is this a miracle of God?"
Many people exclaimed in surprise, within seven days, a paralyzed cerebral palsy patient walked out, albeit with stumbling steps. However, this is undoubtedly a good phenomenon.
Under his parents' guidance, Little Danny said with a somewhat unclear articulation: "Thank you, Tong. Thank you for the magical Chinese medicine."
This sentence, when expressed in English, is actually quite complex. Xiao Danni's enunciation isn't clear. But being able to express it so clearly, undoubtedly, this is still a good phenomenon.
Carlson's face showed delight and shock. This expression, falling in Tang Zheng's eyes, also improved his impression of Carlson a lot. This man is an extremely rigorous scholar. His mind is only on the scientific attitude, in fact, seeing that traditional Chinese medicine can treat cerebral palsy patients. Carlson was very pleased.
He sighed in a low voice: "This is the gospel of the world. Traditional Chinese medicine is too great."
"Dr. Carlson, I think it's still a bit early to draw conclusions," said a professor from the Neurosurgery Center at Columbia University in a low voice beside him. "Let's hurry up and do a comprehensive assessment."
Next, at Zhonghai Yiyuan Hospital. All the medical equipment that can be used is activated. Under the attention of reporters. A detailed assessment was made on Xiao Danni's condition. After three hours. The final result was unexpected. Xiao Danni's brain nerves had indeed developed and improved. In other words, this treatment was not superficial, but a real cure.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's no longer in doubt. Tang has indeed used the magic of traditional Chinese medicine to overcome a stubborn problem in human medical history. I believe that this year's Nobel Prize can be awarded to Tang in advance, to commend his great achievements in the field of medicine." Dr. Carlson began to speak.
The words fell, and everyone was silent for a moment. In the face of facts, no one could think of any rebuttal.
At 8:30, in the grand auditorium of Zhonghai Yiyuan, Dr. Carlson, on behalf of the World Medical Association, formally announced: "I am honored to have witnessed the birth of a miracle over the past seven days. According to the examination, Danny's cerebral palsy symptoms have undergone fundamental changes. I declare that Professor Tang Zheng's research results in the field of cerebral palsy are true and effective. Congratulations to humanity for taking another big step forward in medicine, congratulations to traditional Chinese medicine. The world medical community is proud to have you."
As soon as the voice fell, thousands of people in the auditorium applauded. At the same time, Carlson had already walked to the front of Tang Zheng and said sincerely: "Professor Tang Zheng, I apologize for our recklessness and rashness. Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed a great medical skill. I cordially invite Mr. Tang Zheng to give a special lecture at Caroline College."
Shen Renzhou and Guan Shuisheng both showed excited and wonderful expressions on their faces. Guan Shuisheng even grabbed Shen Renzhou's hand, excitedly saying: "Old buddy, after all these years. Our traditional Chinese medicine has finally come to fruition."
"We succeeded, we succeeded. Old Guan, you call Yang Jiren, I'll go tell Li Minghuang that old fellow myself. This is a milestone victory for our traditional Chinese medicine." Shen Renzhou also became excited and started speaking up.
Director Qin is now smiling more radiantly than ever. The Caroline Institute, this is the Nobel Prize selection agency! This is a grand event for Zhonghai No. 1 Hospital. Since its establishment, including its predecessor Gongji Church Hospital, it has never been so brilliant. It can be predicted that from now on, Zhonghai No. 1 Hospital will enjoy world renown.
Looking at Tang Zheng, Dean Qin was more cautious than ever before, smiling and saying in his most gentle voice: "Professor Tang. This is a rare opportunity."
At this moment, Qin's mentality was not much different from immediately replacing Tang Zheng to answer. However, Tang Zheng was extremely calm at this time. He shook his head slightly and said: "I'm very sorry, Dr. Carlson. I think that for the next two years, there won't be any time to go to Caroline College to give lectures. Maybe later, I believe that in the future, there will definitely be opportunities."
Carlson was taken aback, refusing. Carlson didn't think it would be a refusal. However, he also let go immediately. Tang Zheng's personality is different from that of ordinary Chinese people. His personality has a hidden strong and determined side in his introverted nature. Immediately, Carlson smiled and said: "Of course. I look forward to Mr. Tang's arrival."
As he spoke, Karlson turned to look at Dean Qin and said: "Dean Qin, I hope that if possible, Caroline Kas Academy and Zhonghai Yiyuan can form a strategic partnership. Every year we can exchange students in certain numbers. What do you think?"
Many hospitals, medical schools and medical centers have come to Qin. They've all seen Tang Zheng's attitude, even Carlson was rejected. What about them? Foreigners aren't stupid either, they know it's pointless to look for Tang Zheng now. So they're all playing the trick of "saving the country by a detour". It's always possible to get along with Zhonghai Yiyuan.
Many news media reporters found Tang Zheng, and all the reporters were like squeezing on a train during the Spring Festival. The one in front, a reporter from CCTV, spoke up: "Professor Tang, I am reporter Cui Hao from CCTV, I don't know if Professor Tang can accept our exclusive interview."
"Mr. Tong, I'm a reporter from Time Magazine, can I schedule an appointment with you?"
"Professor Tang, I'm a reporter from Phoenix Figure, can I schedule an exclusive interview with you?"
At this moment, Tang Zheng has become the darling of the media. Such sensational news has conquered cerebral palsy, a stubborn disease. Tang Zheng's popularity has reached an all-time high. It can be predicted that after tonight and tomorrow, when major news and newspapers are released, Zhonghai No. 1 Hospital will be overcrowded. Cerebral palsy patients from all over the country and even around the world will gather at Zhonghai. Because this is their only hope.
On this side, Tang Zheng pushed away all the interviews and finally came out with the help of Shen Tao and others. At this time, Xiao Dani's family had already walked over without knowing when.
"Tang, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much. You gave our whole family hope." Danny's mother was a little emotional.
"Tang, look, how will Danny's follow-up treatment be handled. We've all made up our minds to stay in the Mediterranean for about half a year." Danny's father also started asking questions.
Speaking of this, Tang Zheng also became serious, and it was also one of the things that annoyed him. In the treatment of cerebral palsy, the first stage had a relatively obvious effect, but afterwards, it wasn't so optimistic. To truly treat it to be no different from ordinary people, there is still quite a gap.
However, from Danny's situation, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Tang Zheng nodded and said: "There are two more stages in the subsequent treatment plan. The second stage is a one-month treatment, followed by the third stage, which is a three-month treatment. After that, I think it's best to assist with some cognitive potential development rehabilitation training. As for how much can be achieved, I'm sorry, but I also can't predict." Tang Zheng spoke in a practical and realistic manner.
At around 9:30 in the evening, Dean Qin and his party finally finished those social engagements. As soon as they came in, Danny's father stood up and looked at Tang Zheng and Dean Qin, saying: "Professor Tang, Dean Qin. This is a small token of my appreciation. I am giving it to Professor Tang and Zhonghai Yiyuan free of charge. I think we can also choose another location, buy a piece of land and build a cerebral palsy hospital. Please accept this check."
Tang Zheng stood up in shock, never expecting Danny's parents to make such a move, and took the check. Tang Zheng was also stunned, 50 million US dollars. What kind of background does this Danny family have, to be able to spend such a large sum of money?
Qin Yuanzhang also walked up, saw the amount on the check, and was shocked. On this side, Danny's father smiled and said: "Tang, please accept it. This is not only the reward for treating Danny, but also my heart for all the cerebral palsy patients in the world."
Finally, he accepted the check. Director Qin announced loudly at this moment: "Comrades, in order to commend Professor Tang Zheng's great achievements in the field of cerebral palsy and bring world fame to the hospital, the hospital has decided to reward Professor Tang with a one-time bonus of 1 million yuan."
For this, Tang Zheng was no longer excited. With Tang Zheng's current identity, money was no longer a problem. Zhonghai Yiyuan had already raised the annual salary to 3 million. Wasn't it all just a matter of money?
Beside him, Shen Renzhou opened his mouth and said: "Little Tang, why did you refuse Carlson? This is a great opportunity for our Chinese medicine to make a name for itself in the world."
PS: Thank you to Da Dao Xiao Xiong, Si Kong Rong Yue, Zheng Fu Tian Xia Mei Nu Oh, and af504 for their generous rewards. Thanks to all the brothers and sisters, every bit of support gives Old Cai strong motivation and hope.
