Chapter 2691: Chapter 2692: Science and God

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Zheng Tiejun brought Lin Yi to Stephen and introduced Lin Yi’s identity.

Stephen didn’t say much about the sudden appearance of Lin Yi.

However, upon knowing that he was Li Chuhan’s boyfriend, he agreed more readily, very enthusiastically.

A few minutes later, all the negotiations were complete, and everyone began the tour and study.

As the most prestigious hospital in the world, Mayo Medical Center certainly lives up to its reputation.

It has achieved this entirely by its own strength, which is recognized worldwide.

Upon entering the hospital, Lin Yi let go of other thoughts and fully focused on observing the overall and detailed workings of the hospital.

Though reluctant to admit it, no hospital back home could compare in terms of environment.

“In the future, China still has a long way to go,” Lin Yi mused quietly.

“The fundamental reason is still the difference in medical systems, which leads to different medical environments,” Li Chuhan said:

“Mayo has 63,000 employees and receives more than 1.1 million patients annually, while the most renowned Union Medical College has only over 4,000 employees and sees 2.1 million patients each year. Reaching the current level here would be impossible in the short term.”

Lin Yi chuckled, “Not just impossible in the short term, but even decades later, it won’t happen.”

Li Chuhan laughed too, “If we do reach Mayo’s level, ordinary Chinese people won’t be able to afford healthcare.”

“I heard that even a cotton swab here costs several bucks.”

“When I left, it was equivalent to 9.7 yuan per swab,” Li Chuhan said:

“Without insurance, ordinary people can’t afford healthcare here; it’s a heaven for the wealthy, and the struggles ordinary people face are unimaginable.”

Lin Yi nodded, agreeing with Li Chuhan’s viewpoint.

What’s suitable for oneself is the best.

The morning tour mainly involved an explanation of Mayo’s history and the hospital’s origins.

Lin Yi almost fell asleep listening.

“I forgot to ask you earlier, what did you say when Stephen introduced you to the job?”

Lin Yi asked during the unified lunch at noon.

“I said such a place isn’t quite suitable for me, and he didn’t say much afterwards.”

Li Chuhan knew what Lin Yi was thinking, “Do you need me to talk to him again? It shouldn’t be a problem.”

“It’s not a deal to push for, let’s wait; maybe they’ll come looking for you again.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

After lunch, the afternoon tour and study proceeded further.

Under Stephen’s guidance, the group arrived at the emergency center.

For a hospital, the emergency room is the most complex department.

Every day, a large number of odd patients come here.

If you can think of it, you’ll see it here.

But upon arriving, the most direct impression everyone had was the emergency room’s cleanliness, comparable to high-end private hospitals in China.

And yet, everything was in order.

However, Li Chuhan and the others remained unperturbed throughout.

In Chinese hospitals, the number of patients seen daily is several times theirs, and medical staff numbers are pitifully low, naturally unable to achieve their results,

If they were placed in Chinese hospitals, they might not even do as well themselves.

For them, being here was just to learn techniques; as for the management system, there’s no way to learn that.

“Doctor, I’d like to inquire whether it’s necessary to observe confinement after childbirth?”

During the tour, Lin Yi saw a Chinese woman consulting a female doctor about postpartum care.

“It’s completely unnecessary,” the female doctor said:

“Unless it’s a cesarean, otherwise, in the case of natural childbirth, just resting for a few hours is fine; you can move around, and you can work normally three days later, there’s no need to worry.”

“But I’ve consulted many doctors, and they all suggested resting at home for a month.”

“I’ve been to China before and know your local customs,” the female doctor said calmly:

“I want to say that this theory is unscientific and has no theoretical basis; women giving birth here can move freely and don’t need to be as cautious as you are, which is actually harmful to the body.”

“I understand, thank you, doctor.”

“You’re welcome.”

“It’s still better to observe confinement,” said a female doctor in the group.

As soon as these words were spoken, Stephen paid attention, saying:

“But that’s unscientific, it doesn’t hold up in medicine.”

Stephen’s words also resonated with doctors from other countries:

“I also agree with Professor Stephen’s view. In our country, there’s never been such a notion.”

In the medical community, such topics have always been highly contentious.

Doctors from Ouzhou countries like to use terms like feudal superstition to describe this.

And they always sneer at the existence of traditional Chinese medicine, refusing to acknowledge it.

“I think if the Huaxia Medical Industry wants to make significant progress, it should abandon such feudal and outdated views,” an Eagle Country doctor said:

“Medicine is a discipline that requires scientific theoretical support, and without enough evidence, any statement is not credible.”

Lin Yi frowned slightly, while Li Chuhan had a stern face, saying nothing.

“What do you all think about this?” asked Gu Jialin.

“I think it’s still better to observe confinement; after all, physiques are different.”

“But I think some of the older generation’s sayings are not credible,” Gu Jialin said:

“After returning, there should be a focus on promoting this, eliminating all these outdated ideas and implementing post-surgery and postpartum recovery according to scientific theories.”

Stephen nodded, agreeing with Gu Jialin’s statement.

While doctors from other countries showed condescending expressions.

“Not everything in this world can be explained by science, right?” Lin Yi said casually.

Lin Yi’s remark attracted the attention of others.

“Why not?” the Eagle Country doctor who spoke earlier said:

“Can’t you accept doubts? If you continue like this, you’ll never progress.”

Lin Yi smiled slightly, unhurried, and said:

“According to your view, things that can’t be explained by science and lack theoretical support are all feudal superstitions, right?”

“Of course.”

The Eagle Country doctor said exaggeratedly, “Is there any doubt about this?”

Lin Yi didn’t answer directly but looked at the other Ouzhou doctors:

“Do you share this belief?”

“Of course, everything should be based on science.”

“In that case, can you scientifically explain to me what God is?” Lin Yi said:

“Or, can you let me see God? If so, I’ll stop believing in Buddha and start believing in God with you.”
