After Josh made up his mind, he quickly wrote the prescription and had someone bring the herbal medicine and the stove used for brewing it
He began preparing the medicine on–site.
At the same time, Thomas had his team prepare the necessary equipment for surgery and even rolled in a mobile operating
“Wait, they have mobile operating rooms now?” One of the students exclaimed, wide–eyed with amazement.
“Wow, check this out! The doors are even automatic. How high–tech
“Te this Thomas’s personal mobile operating room? So cool, I’m so jealous” A third student said, a bit envious.
The crowd watching below was in awe of Thomas’s mobile operating room, buzzing with excitement and discussion. The contrast made Josh’s method of preparing the herbal medicine seem outdated and crude.
Especially since the process of boiling the herbs released a strong bitter smell, filling the air and causing everyone around to cringe in distaste.
“This smell is unbearable! Are you sure this stuff won’t kill him?” one student from Asclepius Medical College said, pinching his nose. “Traditional medicine is really outdated!”
“What era is this? Still using these ancient methods to prepare medicine.
George Marshall shook his head with a smug look. With methods like this, how can they compare to modern medicine?‘ Even the golden–haired boy and his friends, seeing the harsh contrast, found it hard to watch.
They wanted to cover their faces and pretend they didn’t know Josh.
But unfortunately, when they yelled at Josh earlier, they had already revealed their identities, and the nearby students from Asclepius Medical College started pointing fingers at them as well.
“Look, those are students from Panacea Medical School. These aren’t students, see their hair? They’re just kids playing around.”
“My grandfather always says traditional medicine is proper. I’m going to record this and show it to him. Where’s the properness in these people studying traditional medicine?”
The golden–haired boy and his lackeys just stood there, speechless.
So what if they dyed their hair? In this day and age, why are people still discriminating against dyed hair?”
And it’s the students studying modern medicine who are being more backward than those of us studying traditional medicine!‘
The golden–haired boy nearly lost his temper and wanted to start a fight, but thankfully, his friends held him back.
Time passed slowly, and Josh’s herbal medicine still wasn’t ready.
On the other side, the door to the mobile operating room opened.
Thomas, with a smile on his face, removed his mask and gloves and announced to the crowd, “The surgery is complete, and the patient’s lesion has been successfully removed.”

It had only been about forty minutes since the surgery began.
This result immediately set the students from Asclepius Medical College into a frenzy,
“Thomas is amazing!”
“Oh my gosh, he finished the surgery in just forty minutes? Thomas really is a genius.
“Thomas is incredible! What does the guy over there brewing medicine have to compare with him?”
Everyone cheered for Thomas, while also throwing jabs at Josh for brewing the medicine.
After all, Josh’s pot of medicine… It smelled awful!
If they weren’t in a competition, some of them might have thrown rotten eggs.
Seeing that Josh was getting distracted by the taunts, Brynn immediately spoke up. “Don’t mind others. Focus on what you’re doing.”
Josh took a deep breath, and as he noticed the medicine was almost ready, he counted to himself and carefully poured out the finished brew.
It was a whole pot, but by the time it had boiled down, only a dark, thick bowl of medicine was left.
Looking at the bowl, Josh couldn’t help but worry whether it would actually work.
“What are you waiting for? Give the medicine to the patient,” Brynn urged, “Believe in yourself.”
Josh’s main issue wasn’t that the medicine wouldn’t work–it was his lack of trust in his own
medical skills.
The root of this doubt probably came from the constant criticism and belittlement he had faced in the medical field.
So, beyond just using a challenging approach in critical moments, what he needed most was encouragement to build his confidence.
“I…”
Josh hesitated, still holding the bowl. But the patient sitting across from him couldn’t wait any longer. He took the bowl from Josh’s hands and drank the whole thing in one go.
The middle–aged man wiped his mouth and comforted Josh, “Kid, you’re overthinking. Drinking this won’t kill me. Worst case, I’ll just…”
Before Josh could finish his sentence, the old man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and quickly jumped to his feet.
“Where’s the bathroom?” He asked urgently.
Josh immediately pointed him in the direction of the restroom, and the middle–aged man rushed over.
The crowd burst into laughter. “Haha! Looks like Panacea Medical School just treated their patient right into diarrhea!“` “How embarrassing! If I were him, I’d be too ashamed to stay on stage.” One student said, shaking their head in disbelief. “Such trash medicine, he should just get off the stage already!” Another student added, crossing his arms and scoffing. Standing on stage, Josh felt completely helpless. He wanted to explain that this was a normal reaction, but his words were completely drowned out by the mocking laughter.
As time passed, even he started to wonder if he had made a mistake with the prescription.

George Marshall, watching the scene, couldn’t help but laugh. “Mr. Buckman, looks like the result is already decided
“According to the competition rules, shouldn’t you be handing over the street management rights now?
Mr. Buckman frowned, ready to retort, but before he could say anything, there was a surprised shout from the students in the crowd.
“Look! It’s working! He really cured him!”
