Chapter 89 Let's Be Friends
"Then, little brother, can you tell me, why did you say that there were more than 5,000 acupoints in the human body?"
Kevin said, "The 361 acupoints you were talking about are merely external ones. The truly internal acupoints are in the depths of the human body. For example, there are more than 200 acupoints on a single heart, and there are more than 800 acupoints in the human brain."
"Ah." Zack trembled. He had never heard of these theories before.
"Forget it. Why do I bother with a low—skilled doctor as you? You won't understand it." Kevin was unwilling to to talk so much to Zack. In terms of Zack's blank expression, he was wasting his words.
Zack regarded Kevin suspiciously. Was he right? This was simply too shocking. If this theory was in large circulation, it would cause a huge stir in the medical field.
"Little brother, can you come to my office?" Vice Director Zack extended an invitation.
"What for? I'm not familiar with you."
"Little brother, I'm really curious about you. Can we have a chat? Let's me introduce myself officially. My name is Zack, the Vice Director of this hospital, and I'm also one of the famous doctors about traditional Chinese medicine in the country. I'm also an expert in this field, enjoying reputation throughout the country." The Vice Director said proudly.
Kevin looked at the Vice Director in doubtfully and said, "You are a famous doctor with such skill?"
"Haha, little brother, I admit that I am inferior to you as you have high achievements in acupuncture, but the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound, including all aspects. What I am best at is not acupuncture. Can we make friends?"
Since Zack had said that, Kevin was obliged to show respect for him, who was seventy years old. As the Vice Director, perhaps he could help him be exempted from paying medical fees.
"Alright, but I have a presumptuous request. Dean has an economic difficulty, can you help him waive some medical fees?"
After casting an eye at Dean, Dean beamed, "Of course." He immediately said to the fat young doctor, "Go apply for special hardship fund and waive some medical bills for the patient."
"Alright." The young doctor hurriedly nodded his head. He was well aware that Kevin was an expert, especially in the field of weight loss. Perhaps he would ask Kevin for help in the future, so he immediately went to do it happily.
"Little brother, this way."
Kevin followed the Vice Director walk out of the ward. However, noticing that Kelly did not come after him. Kevin turned around and said, "Kelly, come with me."
"Ah, me?" Kelly did not understand why Kevin asked her to go with him.
Actually, Kevin did it on purpose. Kelly's father was in need of pine transplant. Kelly planned to go to a hospital outside of the city, so as not to be suspected of the source of the millions of dollars in her family. However, since he had made acquaintance with this Vice Director, he wondered if Kelly's father could do his surgery in this hospital, rendering them needless to go to another city.
Kevin and Kelly came to the Vice Director's office together, being offered tea by Zack respectfully.
"Little brother. I haven't asked for your name yet." Zack asked excitedly. Kevin said, "My name is Kevin. This is my friend, Kelly, Dean's neighbor."
"Haha, Kevin, I am delighted by your acupuncture skills, which is the best I've ever seen in my life. You have reached such a high standard, which is rare in this world."
Kevin answered, "Acupuncture is not my specialty."
"Ah." Zack was stunned. With such a high level of skill, it was not his strength.
"I'm best at everything. I have proficiency in everything related to TCM."
"Hahaha." Zack grinned, thinking to himself. "Isn't this brat a bit boastful?" Kelly sat by the side and didn't say anything.
"Kevin, what do you do? Who do you learn your medical skills from?" Zack asked out of curiosity.
Kevin said, "I am a student of the St. Paul's School."
"What? You're still a student?" Zack was filled with surprise.
"Yes."
Zack smiled in disbelief and asked. "Kevin, is it true that the human body you just mentioned has more than 5,000 acupoints? Is there any scientific basis?"
"Scientific basis?"
"That's right. It is hard for me to believe it now. For example, you said that there were more than 800 acupoints in human brain. How do you know it? If that is right. I'm afraid the entire brain will be filled with acupoints. How do you identify these acupoints?" Zack asked a series of questions.
"Haha, to tell you the truth, I can't answer your question. There is no scientific basis. In my opinion, your so—called science is originally a question that needs further scientific research. I learn medical skills from my female mentor and uncle, who are both prestigious doctors, especially my uncle. He enjoys high reputation, leaving no one fails to recognize him. My fellow apprentices, each of them has medical skills. Due to different levels of talent, we acquire unequal knowledge, and only my junior sister apprentice and I have the most mastery of it. However, my female mentor is far better than us, let alone my uncle."
With his brow knitted. Zack added, "Kevin, according to your representation that your uncle enjoys high reputation, leaving no one fails to recognize him, who is he? I must know him if he is so famous." As one of the renowned doctors in traditional Chinese medicine, Zack was already at the quintessence level. If his uncle was so famous, he would definitely be one of them. Thus, it was impossible for him not to recognize him. Most importantly, of all the doctors of traditional Chinese medicine he knew, there seemed to be no one who was as g000d as Kevin in acupuncture and moxibustion.
"Naha, you won't know him even if I tell you."
Zack hurriedly said, "If he is as famous as you said, I am definitely familiar with him. I am too modest to say that I am of prestige, but I am also famous at home and abroad."
Shaking his head. Kevin continued, "You don't know him."
"Well, since you are unwilling to tell me, I won't push you. Kevin, it's a pleasure to meet you today. Although I am unable to verify your theory of the five thousand acupoints, you've impressed me.This is my business card. You are free to come to me anytime. I also hope to be friends with you and exchange some academic knowledge with you."
"Alright." Kevin took his business card, cherishing no expectation that Zack was very famous. Although he was the Vice Director of this hospital, this hospital belonged to his family. To be exact, it was opened by his son.
