Chapter 986
The effectiveness of holistic medicine was unquestionable in circles like the Williams and Sonnex families.-A group of doctors was having a meeting, mainly discussing Winston, the renowned holistic physician. These doctors had some understanding of holistic medicine—their hospitals even employed holistic physicians.However, they looked down on holistic medicine, perceiving it as old-fashioned, with physicians relying on their skills to act arrogantly.The group's leading figure was none other than Neal."Hol. Clarke is quite capable! I didn't expect a small place like Salt City would feature such a proficient holistic physician!" he remarked.He believed holistic medicine was effective but wanted to discredit it. In doing so, modern medicine would continue to dominate, ensuring their interests.They had been belittling holistic medicine for a long time, and their efforts had been quite successful. At least for now, genuinely skilled holistic physicians were inaccessible to th

On the second day of the showdown, two pairs of patients were selected, each suffering from different but distinct medical conditions. They were then assigned to both sides to determine who could provide better and faster treatment.In this round, modern medicine once again held an initial advantage. They didn't need to diagnose the patients because the diagnoses were already established.However, Winston had to read their pulses for diagnosis before devising a treatment plan. After assessing the pulses, he analyzed the conditions and proposed a treatment plan.The hospital thoughtfully prepared snacks for the final match today, anticipating its time-consuming nature.A doctor stood up, announcing, "We'll begin our treatment."The first patient had kidney stones. Modern medicine had two approaches for this patient: using ultrasound to break down the stones and then expel them or opting for a slightly complex surgical procedure.Surgery had its variations, with one requiring an in

Winston felt unwell, and the elderly holistic physicians hesitated to intervene, forcing Eric to take charge. Although their skills were ultimately inferior to Winston's, their reputation exceeded his due to publicity.Eric was dressed formally today in an expensive suit, tie, and leather shoes. He was uncomfortable with this attire as he used to be involved in technology, and it didn't quite suit him. Sylvia had the suit tailor-made for him, insisting he wear it today for image purposes.Despite Eric's formal attire, the elderly holistic physicians couldn't help but frown since they hadn't encountered him before. They were skeptical due to the facial scars and his relatively young age.On the contrary, the doctors were pleased with the situation.Meanwhile, the media aimed their cameras at Eric, the man with numerous facial scars. Some wondered why, if holistic medicine was effective, he hadn't treated his own scars.Eric ignored the gazes around him and approached the patient, i

The treatment was completed, but modern medicine hadn't yielded any results yet. The doctors weren't expecting another breakthrough from holistic medicine. They consoled themselves, thinking Eric was just trying to stabilize the situation and wait for Winston.The elderly holistic physicians couldn't say much. Regardless of its effectiveness, the situation had stabilized for now. Until the results from modern medicine were out, it seemed like holistic medicine had the upper hand.Winston finally returned, clutching his stomach.The elderly holistic physicians quickly approached him."Hol. Clarke, what happened? How could you have diarrhea?"Perhaps Eric was right—someone had administered laxatives in his food.Feeling weak, Winston said, "Breakfast... Someone spiked my breakfast with a laxative."This was the only reason that made sense. Otherwise, how could he suddenly have diarrhea?With that said, he pushed aside the group. "Let me treat the patient first."Even with diarrh

Everyone focused on the nurse emerging from the room. Kidney stones were typically a minor concern."How are the results?" Neal asked, locking eyes with the nurse.Sensing a confrontation, the nurse kept her response brief. She placed the results of the two patients on the table and exited.Neal chuckled as he picked up the results, but his expression darkened abruptly.Winston calmly prompted, "Dr. Cardin, what do the results say? Please inform everyone."Confident in Eric's intervention, Winston anticipated victory.Neal smiled, announcing, "Both patients have successfully passed their kidney stones, making this round a draw!"Despite his declaration, the journalists scrutinized the documents, noting the discrepancies.One holistic physician examined the report and scoffed. "Dr. Cardin, there is clear residue in the patient's kidneys after the ultrasound treatment. Meanwhile, the patient treated with holistic medicine shows no such residues. How can you call this a draw?!"G

Connor and Queenie took Coulson for a stroll, indulged in some delectable cuisine, and purchased stylish clothes.Despite not addressing Connor as 'Dad', Coulson maintained a close relationship with him, displaying remarkable sensibility.While Connor engaged with Coulson, Queenie sat down, engrossed in her phone. Suddenly, her expression underwent a dramatic change."Queenie, what's wrong?" Connor asked.She snapped back to reality, shaking her head briskly. "It's... nothing. Connor, I overheard you mentioning Eric's formidable power. Just how powerful is he? I mean no offense, but with the Oberdeens likely coming to Salt City, I'm concerned about him..."Connor chuckled. "Let me tell you, some folks claim to have connections, but Eric doesn't need them to get things done!"Queenie's expression changed slightly.Connor continued. "Aside from his ties to the Montgomerys and Hernandezes, Eric is talented. He co-founded the Innova Group, a tech giant dominating the domestic market

In the evening, the Williams gathered together.Henry and Amelia shared hearty peals of laughter. At their stage in life, their greatest joy came from having their children and grandchildren around. Financial concerns no longer bothered them—their family was far from lacking in wealth.Irvin took a sip of wine and expressed his frustration, "I've seen the true colors of those modern medicine folks—people who take your money without delivering results!"Do you know how much my father's medical bills cost? Not less than 500,000 dollars, and with no results! We can afford such high expenses because we have money, but an ordinary family can do nothing about it!"The thought angered him. Josh had shown no improvement despite the substantial hospital expenses, while Eric's acupoint treatment had revived him without costing a penny.Turning to Eric, Irvin asked, "Brother Eric, how much would you charge for that treatment if someone else needed it?"He sought a benchmark.Eric smiled. "

Queenie pursed her lips and said, "I often hear Connor mention you these days. I believe you've also heard some things about me. The Oberdeens will definitely come to Salt City, so I want to talk to you."She pointed to the balcony and added, "Shall we talk over there?""Alright." Eric nodded, and they headed to the balcony. The gentle night breeze made it an ideal place for conversation.Eric was prepared to sit under the umbrella, letting Queenie speak at her own pace.However, Queenie said, "It won't take long, just a few sentences."Eric nodded, waiting for her to continue.She sighed and said, "Connor said he's not afraid of the Oberdeens with you around, and I'm grateful for that. Coulson was often bullied in the Oberdeens. He rarely smiled in the past, but after coming to Salt City, he's been smiling a lot lately."When the Oberdeens come..."Eric was listening attentively. Little did he know what happened next would leave him bewildered.The weather was somewhat hot, a
