Professor Han's ambiguous answer did little to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
"Professor Han, just give it to us straight. Can acupuncture anesthesia actually be used for this kind of craniotomy?"
"Or, to be more specific, how effective is it? Can it replace conventional anesthesia?"
Faced with his colleagues' pressing questions, Professor Han took a deep breath, his voice suddenly tinged with emotion.
"Everyone, acupuncture anesthesia is an absolute banner of our distinctly Chinese medicine."
"It is even a gateway to the world, a way to gain global recognition for the scientific basis of Chinese medicine."
"We've spent decades researching it. Acupuncture anesthesia is indeed clinically viable. The state has even published five editions of clinical guidelines for it. This is not pseudoscience."
