"I've been at the Ninth Hospital before, and the Ninth Hospital's canteen looks far more luxurious than the Health Center's. But if we're talking about the taste of the food, it definitely doesn't compare to the Health Center's."
Ji Xiuwen nodded in agreent while eating, very much concurring with this.
"I won't eat out next ti. How could anything outside be as clean and hygienic as a canteen?"
"Unless absolutely necessary, who would want to eat out!" Lu Xuan replied irritably.
The canteen als, naturally, don't taste as good as those made by restaurants outside. However, their main draw is cleanliness and hygiene, sothing the outside can't compete with.
Moreover, the Health Center is responsible for procuring the ingredients, so there's no risk of substandard goods, making eating there much more reassuring.
Of course, to say that one absolutely won't eat outside is also impossible.
No matter how good the canteen food is, no matter how clean, eating it too much can also lead to aversion, to the point where you want to throw up just by looking at it.
Lu Xuan felt this way back in school.
The canteen at Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese dicine is incomparable to the Health Center's. It had all kinds of food, yet even so, after two or three years, you still want to throw up at the sight of it.
Su Kenan ate in small bites, listening to the group's conversation, a faint smile occasionally appearing on her lips.
At this ti, after a few bites of food, Wang Youqing suddenly looked at Ji Xiuwen: "Ji, it's been a few days since you've been here. How do you feel?"
"Quite... good."
With a mouthful of food, Ji Xiuwen mumbled, but fortunately, it was just a few words; otherwise, nobody would have understood.
After forcibly swallowing a mouthful of food, Ji Xiuwen continued, "Being here is much better than staying at the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine. Over there, we were just ant for dispensing herbs and couldn't learn anything. Even though I worked hard, without clinical experience, what I learned couldn't be applied and was naturally forgotten over ti.
Luckily, my mom heard that there were openings here and suggested I co over to try out. I was stunned to find out that the Dr. Lu my mom ntioned was actually Lu Xuan."
Wang Youqing nodded, "Whether it's traditional Chinese dicine or Western dicine, clinical experience is crucial, especially for Chinese dicine. I've heard a lot from Lu over this period. To be honest, it's really tough without soone to ntor you after graduation. Unlike Western dicine, which can be taught on a large scale, Chinese dicine can only be taught in small batches.
Take Lu for instance; he is willing to take interns, but how many can he ntor by himself? Three to five or five to six? That's probably the limit.
Western dicine, however, is different; they can teach a group all at once. Of course, surgery is a bit trickier, especially surgical operations. Without talent, you might not even get a chance to hold a scalpel in your life and can only perform sutures.
Even suturing can't be mastered right away. Many surgical interns might never even suture properly in the end."
Lu Xuan, though silent, fully agreed with Wang Youqing's words.
This is the case for both traditional Chinese and Western dicine.
But, as Wang Youqing said, while Western dicine can be taught on a large scale, Chinese dicine cannot.
"Isn't that true?"
Ji Xiuwen said while eating, "If I hadn't run into Lu Xuan, I wouldn't know when I'd get to interact with patients. Now I get to try diagnosing one or two patients a day. Plus, my old classmate here doesn't hold anything back from teaching . Although it's only been two or three days, I've learned much more than at the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine.
With anyone else, even if they're willing to guide, they can't be as detailed as Lu Xuan."
"You better study hard then, and not waste Lu's painstaking efforts."
"Of course."
Ji Xiuwen said earnestly, "With such a good opportunity, wasting it would be courting disaster."
Wang Youqing chuckled noncommittally.
Everyone continued eating and chatting softly, enjoying the atmosphere.
Ji Xiuwen was eating when his phone suddenly lit up on the table. He instinctively glanced at it and saw an @everyone ssage in the university group. He thought about it and decided to take a look.
@everyone: Everyone, I have so good news to announce. Our classmate Gu Huahua has had so incredible luck and got to assist Elder Zhang at the United South Chinese dicine Association. Gu Huahua, shouldn't you give us so red packets to share your good fortune?
@Gu Huahua: Gu Huahua, don't pretend to be dead! We know you've gone to the United South Chinese dicine Association.
@Gu Huahua: Wow! So envious, you actually went to United South. Does your family have so kind of background? Those who can consult there are among Yong City's most renowned traditional Chinese dicine doctors. Just being an assistant to one of those bigwigs can be a lifeti benefit.
@Gu Huahua: Aweso!
@Gu Huahua: Astonishing!
…
The barrage of @s finally brought out the main character of this event, Gu Huahua.
Gu Huahua: "I just got lucky, and being an assistant to anyone is the sa. Many in our group are assisting senior traditional Chinese dicine doctors; don't pretend you aren't."
@Gu Huahua: That's a bit of a humble brag! It's the United South Chinese dicine Association, the holiest temple in the hearts of countless traditional Chinese dicine practitioners in Yong City. Can anything else compare?
@Gu Huahua: Exactly! Those who can consult at the United South Chinese dicine Association are big shots. Even if they have high titles, so senior traditional Chinese dicine doctors don't necessarily have the qualifications to consult there. Many dream of it but can't; you can imagine how strict it is. If those bigwigs give you a few pointers there, your clinical experience would skyrocket!
@Gu Huahua: I've heard those bigwigs are quite willing to guide assistants. They might even proactively discuss knowledge at tis. If you perform well and one of them takes you as a student, that could be a direct path to success.
@Gu Huahua: Absolutely, Elder Huang, Elder Zhang... So many familiar nas. Each one is either a national-level famous Chinese dicine doctor or from a traditional Chinese dicine family. Being chosen is a huge honor. Gu Huahua, when you beco successful, don't forget us old classmates, please help us out.
@Gu Huahua: From what it looks like now, among us, you're the one with your career laid out the best and with the broadest prospects. The rest of us are far behind; I'm just left with envy.
@Gu Huahua: If you beco prosperous, don't forget us!
@Gu Huahua: If you beco prosperous, don't forget us!
Gu Huahua: "Stop the flattery, making it sound like I'm already successful. Nothing's set in stone yet. Who knows what will happen in the future? If I'm not talented, would those bigwigs even notice ?"
@Gu Huahua: At least you have the chance! We don't even get the opportunity to interact as those bigwigs mostly don't consult at hospitals anymore. You're different; you've successfully taken that first step. Now it's all about seizing the opportunity and soaring high if you do.
@Gu Huahua: Nothing more to say, congratulations! And when you beco successful, don't forget your old classmates; help us out! Eternally grateful!
@Gu Huahua: Free this weekend? Let's grab a al?
Gu Huahua: Forget it, Elder Zhang has a consultation on Saturday, I have to go; I probably won't have ti.
@Gu Huahua: Let's schedule it for next ti then.
Gu Huahua: Alright, ssage privately then.
…
The news of Gu Huahua assisting Elder Zhang at United South quickly spread, leaving everyone only with envy.
More than half of them are still dispensing herbs in the pharmacy. Only a lucky few have been assigned to assist consulting doctors, a rare few even assisting associate or senior doctors, and most are assisting attending doctors.
Compared to Gu Huahua, the gap is incredibly wide.
No one could help feeling envious of Gu Huahua's great opportunity.
Even Ji Xiuwen, after seeing this, was quite astonished.
That was the United South Chinese dicine Association!
