In a viral video, he starts off by saying, "Chinese hospitals can cure fainting." Sounds like a bold claim, right? But then he dives into his story.

"Today I went to a Chinese hospital, and dude, I swear there were like 3,000 people at the same time queueing to draw blood," he says.

And then, what really amazed him wasn't just the crowd—it was the speed. "It was crazy how fast they were getting through everybody!" he exclaims, before imitating the rapid-fire calling of patient numbers at the hospital.

Finally, it was his turn. Nervous, he approached the nurse and made a special request. "Look, I'm sorry, I often faint when drawing blood. Can I please lie down?"

He said the nurse barely glanced at him, her expression clearly saying: "There is no time to pamper your little problem." (His words, not ours.)

Then he mentally prepared himself for the inevitable blackout. But—surprise! "Dude, she was a pro. Ten seconds, she was done."

That's right. Ten seconds. He didn't even have time to faint.

Netizens flooded the comment section, with one user referencing classic martial arts wisdom: "天下武功，唯快不破！(All martial arts boil down to one thing—speed!)"

Another joked, "These specialized blood-drawing nurses are too experienced. Even vampires would call them master."

And some couldn't help but notice his bilingual brain glitching: "I think the Chinese language is slowly taking over his English system."
