CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 82: QUESTIONING ANN VAUGHN’S MEDICAL SKILLS

The restorative agent specially extracted based on Mrs. Whitlock’s physical condition already had three bottles, and she planned to take them to The Whitlock Family in a few days.

The glass cabinet also contained several rows of finished extract agents with labels on them, and if anyone saw what was written on them, they would probably be too shocked to speak.

But Ann Vaughn had no intention of taking them out for now.

Over here, Ann Vaughn calmly went about her business, completely unaware of the huge stir the Traditional Chinese Medicine show was causing in reality.

Just like how Laura Quinn despised and looked down on Traditional Chinese Medicine, the public’s opinion was not much different from hers.

There was a saying passed around, better to die sick in a hospital bed than to drink a sip of Chinese medicine.

This caused most people to watch the show for Ann Vaughn’s looks, while the rest resisted and vilified, claiming Ann Vaughn was out to make money at the expense of lives.

Someone even wrote a blog specially criticizing Ann Vaughn for bluffing during the diagnosis segment, saying the patients were pre-arranged for the show’s effect.

What nonsense about the most beautiful female Chinese medicine doctor, doesn’t even know if her hair has fully grown, deceiving audiences under the guise of Chinese medicine, stop disgracing our ancestors!

If anyone believed even a punctuation mark of what this woman said, they were truly dumb!

The entire article was full of venom, clearly showing how much this person loathed Traditional Chinese Medicine.

And the article’s shares and comments were many, with most people having the same mindset resisting the show.

Amidst the controversy, the second episode of the show went live.

This time, Ann Vaughn came to the studio, and the staff’s attitude was unexpectedly enthusiastic compared to her first visit.

But she still could only know the show’s general outline and not the specifics.

The diagnosis segment hadn’t started yet when the host said to the camera: "I heard that many viewers have questioned Doctor Vaughn’s medical skills these days, thinking we’re hyping things up, what are Doctor Vaughn’s thoughts?"

"I welcome any skepticism and am willing to respond. I hope everyone approaches the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine rationally, it is not a relic, but a precious treasure left to us by history."

Ann Vaughn answered calmly with a smile on her lips.

"Today, we’ve invited a patient on site. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look, here’s the certificate from First Hospital. This is not someone we brought on as a decoy~" the host joked, then invited the patient up.

Ann Vaughn’s expression became serious, she stood up and walked over to the patient, rolling up his pant leg and tapping his knee with her bent fingers.

The patient, sitting in a wheelchair, immediately showed a pained expression.

"There’s a blood clot in your knee, joints are stiff, and muscles are numb. How long has it been like this?"

"Three, more than three years. It flares up whenever it rains." The patient didn’t expect Ann Vaughn to pinpoint his symptoms immediately, increasing his trust in her.

Ann Vaughn pondered for two seconds, then helped the patient to a prepared hospital bed, letting him lie down.

With a deft flip of her slender fingers, a few Golden Needles appeared in her hand.

Those watching the live broadcast were stunned by this trick of Ann Vaughn’s, all questioning how she managed to materialize those Golden Needles.

"You can nap for a while, and when you wake up, I’ll give you back a pair of healthy legs." Ann Vaughn’s voice was light but still recorded.

The live broadcast room was filled with ridicule, calling her arrogant and shameless.

Ann Vaughn paused as the patient closed his eyes, then flipped out several more Golden Needles onto her fingertips.

Before anyone could clearly see, all those Golden Needles were already inserted into the patient’s legs.

This maneuver left the live audience stunned!

"Whoa! Needle-flying and Blood-stabilizing?!"

"Did anyone see what happened just now? Can that segment be replayed?!"

"Damn, I’m starting to believe this woman might actually have the skill."

The live broadcast room was in chaos, yet Ann Vaughn continued with her acupuncture, her focused side profile was truly beautiful and meticulous.

About half an hour later, Ann Vaughn withdrew the needles one by one and told the patient: "You can get up and try walking now."

"I, can I walk?" The patient hesitated, but encouraged by Ann Vaughn’s gaze, he got down from the bed and took a few steps.

His almost necrotic bones unexpectedly gave him the strength to stand, making him walk back and forth on stage with ecstatic eyes.

"I’m, I’m healed?!"

"I’m healed!!"

The whole venue could almost feel the patient’s excitement and disbelief, and even the staff watching from behind the scenes felt a warmth in their eyes, genuinely admiring Ann Vaughn.

How did she do it?

Ann Vaughn then wrote a prescription for the patient, advising him to take the medication regularly for a full recovery of his legs.

The patient expressed his gratitude by bowing three times to Ann Vaughn.

There were no longer any derogatory comments in the live broadcast room, just a flurry of exclamation marks.

This episode not only ensured Ann Vaughn’s name would be remembered by the audience, but also challenged their preconceived biases against Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Some still refused to believe and sought flaws, but fans of Ann Vaughn had already connected with the lady from the first episode, capturing her test results.

The results were shown just for this moment, to confront the keyboard warriors who spoke recklessly!

The test results matched Ann Vaughn’s diagnosis precisely, leaving people dumbfounded.

When this report came out, there was no one left overtly insulting Ann Vaughn’s integrity for money, but only admiration.

Consequently, Ann Vaughn caught the attention of several pharmaceutical companies.

In the top-floor executive office of Hawthorne Tower, located at the city’s most bustling area.

"President Hawthorne, here’s the information on the philanthropic ambassador candidates you mentioned last time, please take a look." The director of the pharmaceutical project placed the file before the stern-faced man, secretly wiping sweat.

"Hmm." Cyrus Hawthorne glanced over the file, his eyebrows gradually furrowing.

The director’s forehead beaded with more sweat, nervous enough to begin swallowing hard.

Hawthorne was known for not tolerating second mistakes from his subordinates, so if this failed again, he’d be eating himself out of house and home.

On the last page, Cyrus Hawthorne’s gaze suddenly froze, "Is she also a candidate for the ambassador?"

"Yes, President Hawthorne, though she just became popular recently, within days, she’s gained significant public influence, and her appearance and profession fit perfectly..."

The director, oblivious to his colleague’s hinting glances, went on and on about Ann Vaughn’s virtues.

Cyrus Hawthorne’s narrowed eyes fell on Ann Vaughn’s introduction below, his slender, jade-like fingers tapped lightly on her photo.

Traditional Chinese Medicine show, the most beautiful female Chinese medicine doctor?

He wasn’t aware she’d become so popular recently that even his subordinates held her in such high regard.

"Draft the spokesmodel’s contract as soon as possible and deliver it to me before the end of the day." Cyrus Hawthorne instructed in a calm voice without explicitly stating whom he decided on.

"Understood, President Hawthorne."

-

As dusk approached, Ann Vaughn’s small clinic was still open, with a steady stream of clients.

They weren’t all there for medical consultations, some were inquiring and picking up medicine, keeping Ann Vaughn constantly occupied.

A sleek, eye-catching black Maybach slowly stopped in front of the small clinic. As the window rolled down, a pair of eagle-like dark eyes locked precisely onto the slender figure inside.
