The once highly acclaimed Eastern Medicine Company, which was also dubbed a great seller, suddenly found itself in the eye of the storm, plunging into a massive public relations crisis.
Many media outlets had already brought in various experts to analyze the situation.
Among them was a top authority, Sun Zhe, the Director of Medical Technology at Sipps Company.
Shipps Pharmaceutical Company and Eastern Medicine were essentially polar opposites.
Eastern Medicine Company aimed to replace Western medicine with traditional Chinese medicine comprehensively.
Shipps Pharmaceutical Company, on the other hand, aimed to replace all traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine in line with modern science.
In the eyes of Shipps Pharmaceutical Company, most traditional Chinese medicines were nonsensical.
From the perspective of modern medicine, these kinds of medicines were simply problematic, where many of their components served no beneficial role in treating and saving lives.
These medicines could save lives only because they contained effective components that had therapeutic effects on diseases.
Those nonsensical components, however, would harm the body.
Therefore, it was necessary to use the wisdom of Western medicine to extract useful components and discard the nonsensical ones.
In theory, Shipps Pharmaceutical Company didn't seem to have done anything wrong.
Yet, despite growing in Yang City for many years, the company had only just managed to enter the top twenty enterprises.
Seeing the meteoric rise of Eastern Medicine following a "flimsy" press conference that still managed to garner such high attention,
Shipps Pharmaceutical Company was understandably not pleased.
After Eastern Medicine Company experienced a production incident, they were the first to jump out.
Residents of Yang City, who were watching TV, virtually all saw the media interview with Sun Yan, the Director of Medical Technology at Shipps Pharmaceutical Company.
When Su Fan walked out of the hospital room, he happened to see the TV in the hospital corridor was also showing this interview.
His gaze involuntarily shifted toward it.
When Su Fan stepped out of the hospital room, numerous media people immediately surrounded him.
Seeing where Su Fan was looking, they also couldn't help but turn their attention to the same.
Although everyone was eager to interview Su Fan, the matter that Sun Yan was discussing was, certainly, also newsworthy.
The TV screen showed medical expert Sun Yan pouring scorn and mockery on Su Fan and Eastern Medicine relentlessly.
On one hand, Su Fan and Eastern Medicine had cut off their revenue streams.
On the other hand, it was his envy and jealousy towards Su Fan.
As the saying goes, rivalry among professionals is inevitable, and although Sun Yan was a top medical expert in Yang City, his influence did not even measure up to a tenth of Su Fan's.
Had he not stepped forward to criticize Su Fan openly, many people would never have known of his existence.
Earlier, while Su Fan was saving someone, expert Sun Yan had already been mocking him on a TV show for quite a while.
Now that he had come out, he just caught Sun Yan summarizing the previous issues,
where Sun Yan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said,
"The academic community has always mentioned it; so-called traditional Chinese medicine is merely a backward experiential medicine, or simply a matter of luck."
"Traditional Chinese medicine and its formulations only happen to succeed in healing, and then they continuously repeat these patterns."
"Just think about it—a group of people who don't study cells or tissue organs,"
"when faced with problems in human cells, tissues, or organs, are brazenly treating people."
"Isn't this extremely laughable?"
"In the past, poor medical and health conditions could be excused, but in today's highly developed modern medicine, this kind of medicine, stemming from witchcraft and only slightly more sophisticated than witchcraft,"
"is, in my view, entirely dispensable."
With this, expert Sun Yan's address had thoroughly concluded.
However, his last remarks were somewhat nuanced.
His earlier blasting of Su Fan and Eastern Medical Group, even if many felt indifferent towards Su Fan and Eastern Medicine Company, seemed a bit excessive to them.
