Hiss—
The few TCM interns present turned pale.
Even Hu Qiming looked horrified.
'Is he really going to try it?'
'Use himself as a guinea pig?'
Li Xu saw their reactions and sighed. "For the disciples of many old TCM masters, the very first lesson is to personally taste Aconite and other potent herbs. If you don't even dare to use it on yourself, how can you dare to use it on a patient? How can you dare to entrust a patient's life to this bowl of medicine?"
Everyone exchanged glances, their hearts filled with a jumble of emotions.
There was both admiration for Li Xu and fear of this tradition of "testing medicine on oneself."
The department heads from Western medicine, on the other hand, glanced at one another. Though they said nothing, their eyes were full of disapproval.
In their view, Li Xu's so-called "caution" was far too crude and primitive.
