Chapter 21 The Depressed Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine
"No, it's actually pretty good. At least it doesn't have to be as busy as our emergency department. Zhao Yuxuan said, "By the way, my grandfather is also a Chinese medicine practitioner, and it is said that he has healed many people before." It's just that Chinese medicine has been in a recession since then, so my mother and uncle don't have the heart to inherit Chinese medicine. ”
"Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure handed down from our ancestors, broad and profound, most of the modern people are eager to attack the quick profit, and there are too few people who are willing to study, so there are few people who really understand. Nowadays, most of the so-called Chinese medicine only knows a little bit about it, which also leads to people's less and less confidence in Chinese medicine. Long Chengyu sighed.
"Listen to the tone, you must be quite powerful, it just so happens that I am also interested in Chinese medicine, and I will ask you for more advice in the future." Zhao Yuxuan said with a look of adoration.
"I can't talk about it, we can discuss it together. Long Chengyu said with a smile. A few people and passengers nearby who heard the conversation between the two showed a trace of disdain at the corners of their mouths, in their opinion, Long Chengyu was purely for the sake of soaking other people's little girls, so he pretended to be profound there.
When the bus arrived at Tanzhou University Station, the two got off the bus together, and Zhao Yuxuan was familiar with the road and took Long Chengyu to Tanzhou University Hospital.
"The Chinese medicine department is on the second floor, you can go up by yourself, I'm a little late today, I have to change my clothes and go to work quickly, so I won't take you up." Zhao Yuxuan pointed to the staircase on the first floor and said to Long Chengyu.
"Okay, thank you. After Long Chengyu saw Zhao Yuxuan leave, he walked up to the second floor and came to the TCM clinic. There are two people in the room. One was dressed in a doctor's costume and was about sixty years old.
On the other hand, Long Chengyu has the impression in his memory that it is Section Chief Zhang of the Personnel Department of the University Hospital, and the two have dealt with each other when they applied for the job. Long Chengyu joined the company today, of course, to find him, but he didn't expect him to be here. Section Chief Zhang saw Long Chengyu with enthusiasm on his face.
"Long Chengyu, I have already prepared your work permit and work clothes for you, you just need to go to work with peace of mind," Section Chief Zhang patted Long Chengyu on the shoulder, and then pointed at the old doctor and said, "This is your colleague Dr. Yang, and the Chinese medicine department will be handed over to the two of you in the future." ”
"Welcome, welcome! With a high-achieving student like you joining us, we have hope in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The old man spoke enthusiastically, but his tone was a little stiff, as if he was reciting lines, and there was no trace of welcome on his face.
"Where, where. In the future, I will learn more from you, Doctor Yang!" Although Long Chengyu didn't understand what medicine the old doctor was selling in the gourd, he still said humbly out of politeness.
"How dare you, I'm an old bone, it's good to stay in the hospital and not attract suspicion. Dr. Yang said.
"Lao Yang, look at what you said, see the outside. The hospital is recruiting a new person to reduce your workload, but it doesn't mean to disbelieve you. Long Chengyu is the first time he came here, and he has to help him more. Director Zhang answered.
He also seemed to be a little jealous of Dr. Yang, and was very careful when he spoke. When Dr. Yang heard Director Zhang say this, he didn't say much, but just snorted noncommittally.
"Long Chengyu, this is your desk, on the table are your documents and work clothes and other necessary items, as for the work matters, Lao Yang will explain to you, I won't disturb your communication. After Section Chief Zhang finished speaking, he gave Long Chengyu a few words of encouragement, and then left the Chinese medicine department.
"You said that you are a college student who graduated from a full-fledged university, and you came to the university hospital to be a doctor. As soon as Section Chief Zhang walked on his front foot, Dr. Yang muttered a little unhappily.
"What's wrong with the school doctor? The school doctor also practices medicine, and he is also in line with my major?" Long Chengyu said puzzled.
"Hey, have you noticed the situation outside? There are a lot of people queuing up to see a doctor in other departments every day, but our Chinese medicine department rarely has a patient every month, and if you do, you don't come to see a doctor, but to buy some conditioning ......and health herbs," Dr. Yang said with a sigh.
"Oh, do you mean that our TCM department is too deserted? It's not bad to be cold, the workload is small, and it's very idle. Long Chengyu said indifferently.
"You are stupid, what about being idle, the salary is small!" Dr. Yang said in a tone of hatred for iron. Then he analyzed it for Long Chengyu.
After Dr. Yang's introduction, Long Chengyu learned that the income of doctors in Tanzhou University Hospital is the basic salary plus the department's bonus, which may be called commission, and the amount of bonus and commission is closely related to the economic income of the department.
Tanzhou University has more than 20,000 full-time students, which is a huge consumer group. In addition, the business of the school hospital should be considered good.
However, the business of the TCM department is as dismal as Dr. Yang said before, which means that the TCM department has almost no bonuses, and can only get a basic salary of 4,000 a month. In Tanzhou, of course, this salary can't keep people.
Tanzhou, the capital of Jiangnan Province, is not as good as first-tier cities like Yanjing, Shencheng, Yangcheng and Pengcheng, but it is still among the best in second-tier cities, and the consumption level is not low.
Through conversations, Long Chengyu learned that if it weren't for the fact that as a general hospital, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine must be retained, and Tanzhou University would have closed the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine long ago.
The doctor Yang in front of him, whose full name is Yang Decai, is actually not a real doctor, but just a medicine catcher who has worked for decades in a time-honored Chinese medicine store. was already retired, and the Chinese medicine department was really short of people, so he had to be invited to fill the façade.
"Now I know why Section Chief Zhang is so enthusiastic about you, right? I finally deceived a newcomer with a professional counterpart, of course he can't wait to treat you as a bodhisattva. Do you feel like you've fallen into a pit?" Yang Decai looked at Long Chengyu with sympathy.
"It's a little bit, but it doesn't matter, I'm just starting out, so it's good to stay here and practice my medical skills. Long Chengyu replied.
"You, hey, you young man. Forget it, since you're so calm, then you can do it. Yang Decai listened to Long Chengyu's words, and his face became a little difficult to look at for some reason.
"Judging from what Director Zhang said just now, could it be that this Dr. Yang is really afraid that I will rob him of his job, so he treats me so badly? He deliberately said that the Chinese medicine department is so unbearable, he should think that I will take the initiative to break the contract and leave the school hospital, right?" Long Chengyu said secretly.
However, in any case, it is impossible for him to leave Tanzhou University now, at least until he finds out the situation of Ning Nanjun's sister.
Seeing Yang Decai's face, Long Chengyu also had to pay attention to him, cleaned up his desk by himself, and then took an old newspaper on the table, pretending to flip through it casually, but he was thinking about how to find Ning Nanjun's sister in his heart.
After being silent for more than ten minutes, Yang Decai saw that Long Chengyu was so calm, and finally couldn't help but speak first.
"Anyway, being idle is idle, let me first take you to familiarize yourself with the placement of medicinal materials in the medicinal herb room. Don't get the wrong medicine when someone comes to prescribe it, and you get it wrong. Yang Decai said.
"Oh, okay, then there's Dr. Lo Yang. Long Chengyu said politely.
"Listen carefully, I'll just introduce you once. After Yang Decai reminded him, he took Long Chengyu to the medicinal herb room, pointed to the medicine cabinet and introduced the medicinal herbs.
I have to say that although this Yang Decai has a bad temper and is suspected of deliberately making things difficult for Long Chengyu, he is still meticulous in doing things. The classification of various medicinal materials is clearly marked and placed in a regular manner.
"That's how the herbs are placed, you have to keep it in mind. If you wait until you want to prescribe the medicine and then look for it on the label, it will not only look unprofessional, but also waste time and make mistakes. Yang Decai admonished.
"Don't worry, I've got it all in my head. Long Chengyu smiled.
"What! have you written it down?" Yang Decai's face became a little gloomy when he heard this, "Young people, bragging is not a good habit, especially in our Chinese medicine industry, we should be more humble and pragmatic!"
"When I was at Jiangbei Medical University, I did an internship in the Chinese medicine department of the school, and I was basically familiar with the medicinal materials. Plus your placement is very regular, so I can remember it. If you don't believe me, you can test me. Long Chengyu said confidently.
Of course, he couldn't tell Yang Decai that he was a wonderful doctor in his previous life, whether it was recognizing medicine or curing diseases, he was first-class, and as a martial artist, his memory exceeded that of ordinary people, so Yang Decai only said it once, and he wrote it down.
"Okay, good, take the test, I hope you don't disappoint me. Yang Decai said angrily. Of course, he didn't believe that Long Chengyu could familiarize himself with the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet in such a short period of time, so he just thought that Long Chengyu was bragging.
After Yang Decai finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from his desk drawer. Here are a few prescriptions left by some patients after they were prescribed here.
"According to the amount written on this paper, you can catch all the medicines in fifteen minutes, and you will win!" Yang Decai deliberately selected a recipe with more medicinal materials and threw it to Long Chengyudao.
Long Chengyu took the recipe and looked at it, and said very easily: "That's it, where does this take fifteen minutes, and it can definitely be caught in ten minutes." ”
Yang Decai originally picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip of tea, but when he heard Long Chengyu's words, he was so angry that he almost didn't even hold the teacup steadily. Yang Decai remembered that it took him fifteen minutes for his veteran hand to grab the medicinal materials on the prescription.
He only gave Long Chengyu fifteen minutes, and he already felt a little bullying Long Chengyu. After all, he has many years of experience in catching medicines, and he is familiar with the placement of medicinal materials here, but Long Chengyu is a newcomer.
Who knew that Long Chengyu actually bragged that he could do it within ten minutes. This made Yang Decai feel even more unreliable about this young man. I secretly made up my mind in my heart that if Long Chengyu failed in a while, he would definitely teach Long Chengyu well, and take this opportunity to propose to the personnel department to dismiss this unreliable and arrogant young man.
