Li Yun pressed on Bu Tao's icon and waited for him to pick up. He wanted to see if there were any unsolved murder cases. Unfortunately, Bu Tao had been busy chasing down thieves and delinquents. It was good that everything was peaceful, but that didn't help Li Yun.
"How about cold cases?" Li Yun asked.
"Plenty of that, but it's all in paper format," Bu Tao replied. "You're going to solve cases the old fashioned way, by reading paper files!"
Li Yun sighed.
"You Gen Zs are spoiled!" Bu Tao laughed.
Li Yun hung up. It won't be easy to exorcise spirits, so it was better to find other uses for Qivi.
Aside from the cardiovascular system, Qivi gave him a better understanding of acupuncture points. However, without a master or even some experimentation, he didn't want to enter the world of TCM recklessly. Even after reading classical Chinese literature such as Su Wen, Ling Shu, Shen Nong, and other classical texts by ancient doctors, it was very difficult to understand without a master.
"It's not ethical to test it on patients, but how about myself?" Li Yun thought. The only problem with testing himself. Ever since was a kid, he never had any illness like a cold or fever.
Li Yun looked at his arm and thought of something. Even though he was a bit different than most people, he should still experiment on himself first. If he inflicted pain on himself and used acupuncture to control the bleeding, he could analyze the effect of pain on the cardiovascular system and meridians.
Li Yun took out a set of acupuncture needles and scalpel he had ordered and then searched for an empty room. Inside one of the rooms, Li Yun closed the curtain. He sterilized an area between his left wrist and elbow, and then made an inch incision. Blood flowed out and onto the gauze. He wrote the level of pain and flow of blood from 1 to 100 on a notebook. The pain was around a four and the blood flow was around 50, which he labeled as average.
He noted that the circulation of his blood continued, but his body was already sending messages for his blood to clot at the site of the bleeding. He cleaned up the wound and bandaged the area. Afterward, he made similar cuts on his left leg and abdomen and recorded his body's reaction.
With the control areas documented, he took out the acupuncture set and switched the scalpel to his left hand, preparing to cut his right arm. As soon as the incision was made, he inserted a small needle into the acupoint. As soon as pressure hit the point, there was a slight response in the qi channels. The channels flowing to the blood slowed down, but the channels from the blood vessels to the qi channel sped up. The channels that connected to the brain slowed down. Li Yun's pain slowly dissipated. If he wasn't paying attention, it was easily missed.
During the control test, there was a slight lingering pain of around 1-2. However, it disappeared altogether as the acupuncture needle was inserted. The flow of blood was reduced to around a 45.
After two days, a scab formed over the wound. It was slightly more pronounced on the right side where he had used acupuncture. On the third day, the white blood cells were noticeably seen around the wound. By the 7th day, the scab flaked off and his skin looked almost exactly like it was before. The right side looked a lot better, but not by much.
While jotting down his observation, his phone pinged. It was a signal that the competition was about to start.
The first part of the 30th anniversary celebration was usually just a bunch of people talking, so the devious residents, who weren't afraid of their attendings, snuck out. Li Yun had asked An Luchang to message him when the resident's competition was about to begin.
Li Yun quickly cleared away his equipment and rushed to the hospital's courtyard. He shuffled himself through the crowd and sat next to An Luchang. Chief Gao and Chief Lim naturally noticed that he was late.
"Well, at least he was better than Doctor Hao," Chief Gao and Lim thought. Doctor Hao didn't even make an attempt to attend.
The first-year resident diagnostic competition was the first competition event of the day. The rules were simple. There would be three fake patients, and everyone would have up to two questions to ask the patient. At the end, based on the questions and answers, the residents would write down the possible diagnosis, the recommended tests, and treatment.
"The correct diagnosis, recommended tests and treatment get 3 points. Close answers get 1 point. After three rounds, the person with the highest points wins!"
Everyone looked at Nurse Li, the first fake patient. Based on random numbers picked from a hat, residents were called to ask the questions.
