Chen Luo and Lu Yunhai were also sitting and talking with a few old people at this time.

"There is a doctor here, and An Lao occasionally comes over to take a look at us, usually raises flowers and plays chess, but now he can live one day at a time."

"Grandpa, can you tell us about your past?"

Rong Jingjing asked on the side.

"There's nothing to talk about."

Another old man said: "It's been so many years, and now life is so good, cherish it." ”

"I envy you young people, you are much happier than we were back then."

It is rare for several old people to chat with Chen Luo and other young people, and they are also in a good mood.

"You are all medical students, in fact, you should have a good chat with Su Lao, Su Lao is also a Chinese medicine doctor."

An old man said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm a Jianghu Langzhong, and I can't compare with these high-achieving students."

Su Lao smiled and waved his hand.

Su Lao is about 80 years old, his left hand is gone, and only two fingers are left in his right hand.

Most of the elderly in the nursing home are disabled, and these disabilities are glory for the elderly, they do not complain at all, but have a little pride when they mention it.

If you are not injured, you are good, that is a shame, and if you don't do it, you will be mistaken for a deserter.

"Su Lao, you are also a Chinese medicine doctor?"

Liu Pengkai asked curiously.

"Sort of."

Su Lao said: "My father was the Langzhong of the village at that time, I learned some from my father since I was a child, and I could barely see a doctor, and then I followed the team. ”

"Don't listen to Su Lao's modesty, Su Lao's level is very high, An Lao said that if Su Lao has been practicing medicine, he must be a famous doctor now."

An old man on the side said, and in his words, he obviously respected Su Lao very much.

"Su Lao, tell us about it."

Rong Jingjing said: "I also heard my grandfather say something, saying that the medical environment was not good at that time, but the doctors were respected, and now the environment is better, but there are many contradictions." ”

"On the one hand, things are scarce and expensive, and you don't have to choose."

Su Lao said with a smile: "Sometimes there are only one or two Langzhong in ten miles and eight villages, if you don't let you see it, you can only carry it yourself, and you don't have to choose, but now that there are more doctors, there is a comparison and a choice." ”

"It's not that there are no complaints, quacks hurt a lot, and many people opposed Chinese medicine in the past, but not just because Chinese medicine was backward."

Su Lao said: "Therefore, to learn medicine first, learn morality, morality first, medicine last." ”

"Su Lao, they all say that Chinese medicine is difficult to learn, and good Chinese medicine is less ......"

Lu Yunhai asked, but was interrupted by Su Lao only halfway through his words.

"Chinese medicine is not difficult to learn, and there are not many good Chinese medicine."

Su Lao smiled and said.

"Are there still many doctors in the past?"

Sun Yating asked puzzled.

"At least that depends on that."

Su Lao said: "First of all, you must understand that doctors are first produced from literate people, and how many people know words at that time, from this ratio, doctors are not few." ”

Everyone was stunned.

They really haven't thought about it.

It is all from the data aspect, there were few doctors in the past, just like Su Lao said just now, sometimes there are only one or two Langzhong in ten miles and eight villages, and there are even fewer Langzhong with a level.

But if you talk about reading people......

At that time, the proportion of people who read was very small, so it was normal for there to be few doctors.

"There are more doctors now, right?"

Su Lao said: "But how many people are reading now, how many people are literate, if there are not so many people reading, so many people are literate, not to mention Chinese medicine, there will be very few Western medicine, and even Western medicine will be less than Chinese medicine." ”

"yes."

Lv Yunhai said: "Relatively speaking, Western medicine actually has higher requirements for all aspects of academic qualifications, Chinese medicine, not to mention the requirements for medical qualifications, can read and hyphenation, basically you can get started, so the threshold for learning Chinese medicine is actually lower than the threshold for learning Western medicine?" ”

"The entry is low, but if you want to learn well, you must continue to learn, and the threshold is different."

Su Lao said: "The things you learn are different, the contact is different, and the understanding is different." ”

"This old man is right."

Sun Wanqing also said to Chen Luo on the side: "The foundation is different, and the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine is based on traditional culture. ”

"Old Su, you just said that Chinese medicine is not difficult to learn?"

Chen asked Su Lao.

"It is said that those who are difficult will not, and those who will will not be difficult."

Su Lao smiled and asked Chen Luo and the others: "Do you think it is difficult to study?" ”

"It's hard (it's not hard)!"

Several people replied almost at the same time, saying that it was rare to be Lu Yunhai and others, and it was Chen Luo who said that it was not difficult.

In fact, Lu Yunhai and others are not bad at studying, but if you ask them if it is difficult to study, they also think it is very difficult.

"That's right, some people think it's difficult, some people think it's not difficult."

Su Lao said with a smile: "A lot of knowledge, you have to learn slowly, slowly understand, overnight, you planted a tree, immediately want it to blossom and bear fruit, impatient, feel that it is impossible to blossom and bear fruit?" ”

"Su Lao is right."

Yang Ying said: "Most of the foundations we learned before were actually the foundations of modern medicine, and we had a lot less knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. ”

"The reason why Chinese medicine has stopped now, or even worse than before, is that there are many factors, but it has never been because it is difficult."

Su Lao said: "When I was studying medicine at that time, I didn't go to a private school, and my father taught me how to read and distinguish medicinal materials. ”

"In fact, no matter what you study, you must have a heart that can endure loneliness, people say that ten years of cold windows, in the past, some people in order to take the top prize, until the age of fifty, sixty years old, gray hair."

Su Lao said: "Some people think it's ridiculous, but isn't this kind of persistence and persistence commendable?" ”

"The reason why people can persist is because they have obsessions, whether it is for the sake of winning the lift, or being famous.......

Saying that, Su Lao smiled: "We insisted at that time, just to be able to see a life like now, and we had faith in our hearts, so we were not afraid of anything." ”

"You're all still studying, you're medical students, so ask yourself what you're for, what you want."

Su Lao smiled: "Since ancient times, there are few dignitaries among doctors, if it is to make a fortune, in order to become an official, it is not appropriate to study medicine, if it is just to support the family, you must also be worthy of this bowl of rice, if you want more, you have to pay more." ”

Among these old people in the nursing home, Su Lao may be one of the few more educated, literate, read some books, and was a doctor before, so he can also understand the purpose of An Yuanming bringing Chen Luo and others to the nursing home.

After chatting with the old people for a while, it was time for lunch.

After lunch, Chen Luo and the others also helped the old people do some work.

Tidy up the house, do laundry, clean, and even help the elderly with massage.

It was not until dinner that An Yuanming returned to school with Chen Luo and his group, and from beginning to end, An Yuanming and Shang Yongliang did not say anything to Chen Luo and his group.

But everyone has something to gain to a greater or lesser extent.
