Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine.
Departnt of Traditional Chinese dicine.
"Xiao Tang, I heard you graduated from Shangjing University of Chinese dicine?" Ji Yuanning looked at the rather shy young man in front of him, sizing him up.
The formation of this Departnt of Traditional Chinese dicine, apart from the three rehired senior practitioners, included two young individuals stepping in: one was a graduate from Shangjing University of Chinese dicine, the other was a self-taught practitioner with no formal education.
Compared to the self-taught practitioner, Ji Yuanning preferred Tang Yi, the graduate from Shangjing University of Chinese dicine. It wasn’t due to educational discrimination, but because Tang Yi didn’t have that innate arrogance. On the contrary, the self-taught practitioner hadn’t bothered to look anyone in the eye since joining the hospital.
"Haha, yes." Tang Yi scratched the back of his head.
"Why didn’t you pursue postgraduate studies and stay in Shangjing?" Ji Yuanning asked.
"There’s so family debt to pay off, so I want to start working first and pursue further studies when I have the ti." Tang Yi replied.
"You’re from Jianghan?" Ji Yuanning asked.
"Yeah." Tang Yi answered.
"Work hard, and in about a year or so, I’ll find a way to get the director to secure you a position." Ji Yuanning smiled.
"Thank you, Director." Tang Yi smiled back.
Ji Yuanning patted Tang Yi on the shoulder, "Go get busy."
"Okay." Tang Yi then left the director’s office and returned to the physician’s office of the departnt.
The physician’s office in the Departnt of Traditional Chinese dicine wasn’t big, with only six workstations. The three rehired senior practitioners didn’t need to be on site unless it was ti to work in the outpatient clinic.
So in the entire office, there was only Tang Yi and the other self-taught practitioner, Li Wei.
Li Wei was a few years older than Tang Yi and was currently in the office scrolling on his phone.
"Tch, what nonsense."
"How can such charlatans beco popular? It’s outrageous."
"The dical principles aren’t clearly explained at all, and it’s all Western dicine jargon used to explain Chinese dicine. The argunts are utterly baseless, yet there are still people sucking up in the comnts."
"..."
As Li Wei was looking at his phone, he kept muttering to himself. Tang Yi heard but didn’t respond; he wasn’t soone who naturally chatted up others. After passing by Li Wei’s workstation, he sat in his own spot and started getting familiar with the hospital’s prescription system.
Generally speaking, doctors like him who hadn’t yet obtained a dical license couldn’t see patients independently, as they didn’t have the authority to prescribe dicine legally.
But they could write prescriptions and have them signed by the director, making it legal.
"Hey, have you co across that TCM practitioner nad Lu in Jianghan City recently?"
Perhaps noticing Tang Yi’s silence, Li Wei directly asked.
Tang Yi smiled, "I don’t really play around with that stuff, so I’m not familiar."
However, Li Wei showed no boundaries and leaned in, placing his phone in front of Tang Yi, where a video of Lu Jiu explaining health knowledge was playing.
[The heart is one of our body’s most important sources of power; it is like a fla. If its temperature drops, many illnesses will arise. Therefore, we need to exercise regularly; moderate exercise can strengthen our heart and lungs, helping us to get sick less often or not at all.]
"Heh, clearly it’s a deficiency of Heart Yang causing myriad ailnts, yet he simplistically describes Heart Yang as temperature, which is utterly laughable." Li Wei’s words dripped with disdain.
"Uh... I actually think his explanation is pretty good. At least those who don’t understand Chinese dicine can grasp it. That’s a win, right? We can’t expect them to understand the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor or the Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases, can we?" Tang Yi chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Li Wei put away his phone, a flash of contempt crossing his eyes montarily, "Haha, if Chinese dicine were that easy to understand, it wouldn’t be in its current state."
After speaking, Li Wei returned to his seat and continued watching videos.
Tang Yi couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh at the sight.
What can I say?
Li Wei gave him the impression of soone who took Chinese dicine extrely seriously, who wouldn’t let others talk nonsense; any slight misstep drew his stringent critique.
Tang Yi learned from Ji Yuanning that Li Wei had passed the Chinese dicine specialty exam but didn’t have the qualifications to open a clinic, leading to his recruitnt by the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital.
Honestly, Tang Yi wasn’t sure about the difficulty of the Chinese dicine specialty exam, but he knew the capabilities of self-taught Chinese dicine practitioners.
After all, even though he’d only studied for five years at university, those practitioners had been learning since childhood. With comparable intelligence levels, what mattered most was the amount of ti spent learning.
The TCM practitioner in the video was unknown to Tang Yi, but he felt that anyone who could publicly lecture on Chinese dicine likely had a solid foundation, because if you don’t have a structured frawork in your mind, it’s difficult to explain Chinese dicine in a way that ordinary people can understand.
Today was his first day at work, and many aspects of the Departnt of Traditional Chinese dicine hadn’t been properly set up yet. The clinic hours had just been scheduled, and with no patients in the ward, they didn’t need to do any rounds today. After a few minutes of boredom, Tang Yi downloaded a short video app and started browsing videos in the local section. Sure enough, after scrolling through seven or eight videos, Tang Yi saw a video of Lu Jiu sitting among people and offering consultations.
[... At night, the spirits in our minds must return to the heart to rejuvenate in the heart blood. You can imagine it as a little person who, after a day’s work, soaks in the bathroom at night to relieve fatigue from the entire day...]
...
[As for , whether they believe or not is beyond my control. But as long as soone is willing to listen, I’m willing to talk. So what? Are you going to control not only what I say but also who the public chooses to listen to!?]
