Full schedule?
Can it not be full?
Wang Youqing couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Although he wasn’t a Traditional Chinese dicine doctor and hadn’t even been exposed to related content or knowledge, he knew what it ant for a young TCM graduate to independently practice and see so many patients in one day.
For both Traditional Chinese dicine and Western dicine, besides basic knowledge, the most important thing is undoubtedly clinical experience.
The difference between an experienced doctor and one without experience is substantial.
Even among chief physicians, there can be a vast difference in dical skills.
Wang Youqing still rembered when he first graduated from dical school and started interning at the Ninth Hospital; he dread of sitting for consultation alone. Unfortunately, reality did not align with his wishes. Not only did he not beco a resident physician, but he was also transferred to the lab departnt and later stationed at the Health Center, becoming its responsible person.
Perhaps, being sent from the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine to the Health Center by Liu Rong was unfortunate for Lu Xuan.
But if you think about it carefully, Lu Xuan was actually lucky.
Freshly graduated, Lu Xuan was only an intern at the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine. What could he do?
It’s easy to imagine he would be an assistant or directly sent to the herbal pharmacy to dispense dicine. As for consulting with patients, don’t even think about it.
No Chinese dicine Hospital would let a new graduate independently consult, nor would they entrust a patient’s life to a Traditional Chinese dicine doctor without any clinical experience.
It’s harsh, but that’s the reality.
However, things were different at the Health Center. The Traditional Chinese dicine departnt here was almost always inactive, and with Lu Xuan’s arrival, he directly beca in charge of the departnt and even gained the opportunity to practice independently.
Even if there were few patients initially, as Lu Xuan’s dical reputation spread, more and more patients sought consultation.
Until today, there were seventy or eighty patients registered under Lu Xuan in one day.
And this was because there was a daily limit; otherwise, there would be more registrations.
If Lu Xuan were still at the District Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine, he wouldn’t have had this chance.
Of course, Wang Youqing was well aware that with Lu Xuan’s talent, it was only a matter of ti before he beca well-known. But arriving at the Health Center rely accelerated this process.
For a mont, Wang Youqing had many thoughts, and when he snapped back to reality, he realized Lu Xuan had already packed his things, turned off the clinic lights, and walked out.
Wang Youqing smiled and said, "Shall we go eat together?"
"Uncle, haven’t you eaten yet?"
Lu Xuan was surprised and then took a deep breath, "Were you waiting for ?"
"Kind of, but not really!"
Wang Youqing shook his head and said, "But you could say that. Mainly, the director found this afternoon, and I reflected on today’s situation with her. The director asked to wait for you for a while to discuss sothing."
Lu Xuan put on a serious face.
Wang Youqing thought for a mont and said, "You saw the situation with the Traditional Chinese dicine departnt. From now on, the number of patients coming to you will likely increase daily. While you’re here at the Health Center, it’s not just for a day or two. It’s unsustainable to keep working like you did today. Treating patients is important, but you mustn’t neglect your health either.
So, starting tomorrow, the director plans to reduce the number of tickets for morning and afternoon sessions. As for whether to increase the tickets, you can decide based on the situation at the ti.
However, the final decision is yours. You decide whether to reduce the tickets or not."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan fell into silence.
He actually didn’t want to reduce the number of tickets, but reason told him that it’s necessary. On his own, he can only see at most fifty patients a day.
Seeing more than eighty patients today was possible only because he worked non-stop from eight in the morning until seven in the evening.
Even with an assistant, efficiency might not improve significantly.
He’s now very familiar with the herbal pharmacy; he knows exactly where each dicine is stored and doesn’t need much ti to dispense dicines.
Most of the ti is spent listening to patients describe symptoms and diagnosis, especially diagnosis which takes the longest.
This can’t be changed, so efficiency can’t be improved much.
The only thing that could change with an assistant is that many things wouldn’t require his personal involvent, thus freeing up ti to see more patients.
With these thoughts, Lu Xuan didn’t insist on not reducing the number of tickets. He nodded, "Let’s reduce the tickets first, and if the number of patients is large, I’ll add more tickets based on the actual situation."
Even though he said that, Lu Xuan was already prepared to increase the tickets.
At least in the morning, he definitely needs to add more tickets; he doesn’t plan to do so in the afternoon.
If he were to add more tickets in the afternoon, not only would he have to stay, but Yuan Na and Lv Huilan, who handle the fees, would also need to stay.
He’s alone in Yong City, so there’s no problem feeding just himself.
But Yuan Na and Lv Huilan have their own families. He can’t make them stay just because he wants to add more tickets.
Although there are automatic fee machines at the Health Center, not everyone knows how to use them.
In fact, most people probably don’t know how to use those modern machines.
"Alright, I’ll report this to the director in a mont."
Wang Youqing nodded, "Let’s go eat."
"Uncle, no drinking, okay? It’s getting late, and I need to organize today’s cases when I get back tonight."
"No drinking."
Wang Youqing laughed heartily, and the two walked out of the Health Center, one behind the other.
Dinner was casual; the two settled at a noodle shop at the Health Center entrance. After eating, they went their separate ways, each returning ho.
