In the following week, Lu Jiu remained steadfast at the clinic.
It wasn't until the last few days that Lu Jiu posted a notice to inform the patients that he was moving to the new hospital on the outer ring.
This news was quickly spread by many people.
In just two days, everyone in Jianghan City knew that there was a new hospital on the outer ring.
So people even went out of their way to the outer ring to take a video. After learning that the new hospital was called Lu Jiu TCM Hospital, many began asking when they could make appointnts there.
As for Lu's Clinic, even with Lu Jiu's notice, patients continued to co in droves.
Clearly, as long as Lu Jiu was there, they wouldn't go anywhere else.
Unconsciously, a week had passed.
Lu Jiu got up early; today, he was no longer going to Lu's Clinic, but to Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.
Riding his little e-scooter towards the outer ring, twenty minutes later, Lu Jiu saw the new hospital building.
To be honest, the decoration was quite impressive, especially with the large characters of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital, which were very conspicuous.
After parking the e-scooter in a parking lot, Lu Jiu wandered outside, carefully observing everything about the exterior of the hospital.
Before long, two minibuses arrived at the hospital entrance, and Huang Fusheng and his people got off the buses.
After exchanging greetings, the group walked into the hospital, visiting each floor and every room to observe the layout of the hospital.
The new hospital was different from other places, focusing mainly on patient convenience.
The first thing was the information screen at the entrance.
It detailed which departnt patients with certain conditions should visit, so that as soon as people enter, they know where to register.
They wouldn't need to first guess which departnt their condition might belong to.
Moreover, the consultation rooms and doctors' offices were placed together; each departnt had two small rooms and one large room, the large room being the doctor's office, and the small rooms being consultation rooms.
All departnts were on the ground floor, with clear signage, ensuring patients didn't lose their way after entering the hospital.
As for the wards, they were uniformly set on the upper floor.
For traditional Chinese dicine, many illnesses don't require hospitalization, and taking dicine at ho is just as effective.
So during the renovation, they didn't combine doctors' offices with the wards.
If there were patients who truly needed daily check-ups, doctors could just take the elevator up.
The core of traditional Chinese dicine lies in the outpatient consultation process.
After roughly half an hour of careful touring, everyone basically familiarized themselves with their positions.
However, to truly get into the swing of things, a few days of adaptation were needed.
So, in the days to follow, Lu Jiu and the others started participating in so of the hospital's daily affairs.
These included the office layout, the inventory of Chinese herbal dicines in the pharmacy, training of healthcare personnel in the decoction room, the hospital's internal employee system, whether everyone could quickly familiarize themselves with the new patient diagnosis system, prescription records, and so on.
After all, collecting patients' face-to-face consultations, tongue diagnoses, pulse diagnoses, along with doctors' syndro differentiation and prescriptions, and even the ultimate efficacy feedback, all needed to be recorded and would beco critical for future big data examinations.
So, this step was undoubtedly the most important.
...
"Have you heard? Dr. Lu has changed locations."
"Huh? I've been waiting for half a month and haven't seen him, and he suddenly changed places? Who should I see for my illness?"
"Don't worry, he's still in Jianghan, just at a different hospital. Can you guess what the hospital is called?"
"What's the hospital called? Isn't it Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine?"
"Of course not, it's a newly built hospital nad Lu Jiu TCM Hospital."
"Wow, a hospital nad directly after Dr. Lu, did he fund it himself?"
"Who knows. Anyway, I saw it, even though it's not as big as the People's Hospital, it's not small either. No matter how good Dr. Lu is, he shouldn't be able to earn that much money; just that one building supposedly cost a few billion."
"Who cares, as long as we can find Dr. Lu. For a doctor of his caliber, he deserves whatever he earns. The problem is with those doctors who can't treat a few illnesses but still fill their pockets."
"That's true, soone like Dr. Lu should be making money!"
"Where's that hospital located?"
"On the outer ring. Don't go just yet, they're not open for business."
"When will they start operating?"
"How would I know? But I saw on a video online that the lights are on at night over there, so it should be soon."
"Alright, let's go check it out then."
"..."
...
Jianghan People's Hospital.
"Have you seen the news online recently? There's a new hospital in Jianghan City called Lu Jiu TCM Hospital."
"TCM Hospital? Opened by that Lu Jiu?"
"Sure is; it's nad after him, but where did he get that kind of money?"
"Who knows. Who would have thought that a small clinic that got popular in less than half a year could open a hospital!"
"I heard from a relative that the building was rented to them by the governnt at a huge discount. It seems like that Lu Jiu has connections; otherwise, building a hospital like that would easily cost tens of millions."
"Tens of millions? You're underestimating hospitals. So equipnt in our hospital alone costs millions; tens of millions would just cover salaries."
"But it's a TCM hospital; surely they don't need to buy equipnt?"
"Who said? Didn't Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine buy any?"
"They aren't pretending; they're a genuine TCM hospital, treating with acupuncture and herbal dicine, not like us prescribing lab tests."
"But can a pure TCM model really be profitable?"
"Of course, why open a hospital if it doesn't make money? Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine sells Chinese dicine every day; one course costs thousands of dollars, more than our Western dicine prescriptions. Isn't that profitable?"
"..."
...
Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine.
Departnt of TCM.
Tang Yi also learned about the new hospital news at this ti.
He confird with Lu Jiu over WeChat and found out that Lu Jiu had indeed beco the hospital director.
Tang Yi was a bit bewildered.
Lu Jiu had transford overnight into the hospital director; the transformation of his identity was incredibly fast.
"Lu Jiu beca the director!?"
Li Wei had evidently heard the news too; he asked Tang Yi as soon as they t.
"Yes."
Li Wei said, "And the new hospital is nad after him?"
Tang Yi replied, "Is there a problem?"
Of course, there's a problem!
The problem is huge!
Lately, Lu Jiu had beco famous in Jianghan City, and Li Wei was holding onto a grudge.
But he understood that Lu Jiu's fa did not co from hype, but from genuinely curing many patients.
Both being practitioners of traditional Chinese dicine, each with their own lineage, Li Wei wasn't willing to lose.
So these days, he had been staying in the consultation room, earning so patient recognition as well; he even received two banners.
Had it been before, he would have been extrely happy.
But now, after Tang Yi told him that Lu Jiu had so many banners that they couldn't fit in the clinic, he found his two banners quite underwhelming.
"Where am I different from him?" Li Wei was puzzled.
Clearly, he was also effective at treating illnesses; why was he not achieving fa as quickly as Lu Jiu?
"Can you treat hemiplegia?" Tang Yi asked.
"I... could give it a try," Li Wei said, a trace of hesitation in his voice.
"Can you cure cancer?" Tang Yi continued.
"..." Li Wei was speechless.
He realized where the difference lay...
