Chapter 26: Three People in Mingtang
The hospital is not a holy place like in fairy tales; it also has all kinds of conflicts of interest.
Not to mention anything else, in the first month of his internship at Huier Hospital, Li Quan witnessed two heads of the obstetrics and gynecology department quarreling with each other. They slammed the table, pointed at each other's noses and cursed, and they were just short of rolling up their sleeves to fight.
Isn’t it just to fight for a little performance commission?
It is common for departments to fight overtly or covertly to compete for patients or for more medical resources.
"It's past the time to get off work, so we can go home. Tell me, what do you want to eat? I'll satisfy you today." Han Dong patted his wallet with a generous look.
It was as if he could really buy all the delicacies in the world.
"Well... buy whatever you want. I'm not picky about food! After work, I'm going to the book market, and then I'll go back to the rental house to wait for the midnight snack you bought for me!" Li Quan said a few words, left Han Dong behind, and left.
The main reason is that Han Dong is a little fat and walks too slowly.
Li Quan quickly returned to the office, changed his clothes, and ran to the bus stop outside the hospital at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
He doesn't have parents as rich as Gao Yuan's.
Gao Yuan bought a Toyota car right after graduation and drove it to and from get off work every day.
Li Quan has a hard life and can only take the bus for the time being. I believe that after he works for a few years, it should be no problem for him to buy a car for transportation.
The salary and bonus of doctors at Huier Hospital are still considerable.
…
It takes 20 minutes to drive from the hospital to the book market. It is about 6:00 in the afternoon, which is the peak time for people to get off work.
The traffic jam is terrible.
Li Quan was extremely anxious. If he went too late, and the book market was closed, his trip would be in vain.
I clearly bought two medical books this morning and have only finished reading one. Why do I still need to go to the book market?
Because Li Quan reaped the benefits of reading that thin medical book.
It takes one or two months to finish a thick medical book, and you can only get 5 points of favorability. It only takes about two hours to finish a thin medical book, and you can also get 5 points of favorability.
Even a fool knows how to choose.
Now, what he lacked most was time. He had to learn a few more miraculous medical skills and try to get a place to work in the hospital.
More than half an hour later, the bus finally arrived at the stop.
Once bitten by a snake, Li Quan became afraid of ropes for ten years.
He was mistaken for a thief this morning because he got off the bus in a hurry. He didn't want to experience it again.
Be patient and get out of the car steadily.
Fortunately, I was not mistaken for a thief this time.
He walked quickly into the book market , fortunately many shops were still open, and Li Quan began to sweep.
In fact, he didn't have much money left in his pocket, so he had to be frugal when buying books.
After all, you still have to eat, pay rent, and have various expenses.
…
After a thorough search, Li Quan actually managed to buy two thin medical books.
For example, the book "Qian's Pediatric Prescriptions, Volume 1" that I bought this morning, I can't find a second copy at all.
Li Quan bought two books this time, one of which is "Qian's Children's Prescriptions Volume 2", which has a total of about 40 pages. It is estimated that it should take three or four hours to finish reading.
Another book is "Three People in Mingtang" by Sun Simiao. This book is very thin, with only eight pages.
This medical book mainly features human-shaped drawings.
It includes three types of human figures: front, side and back, with various acupuncture points and meridians marked on them.
For people who have no medical background, it may be no different from reading a book written in heaven.
For Li Quan, it was child's play.
This medical book is definitely a steal.
It is even easier to read than the book "Qian's Pediatric Prescriptions" I bought this morning.
It cost a total of twenty-seven yuan to buy these two books, plus the round-trip fare, it was more than thirty yuan.
Li Quan sighed. The money he had was not enough to support him to buy new medical books. If he wanted to buy new medical books, he would have to wait until he got his first month's salary after he was officially employed.
I hope that after reading these medical books, I can successfully get a job in the hospital.
…
On the way home, there was another traffic jam.
Li Quan was lucky and managed to grab a seat.
With the dim light in the car, he couldn't wait to take out the book "Three People in Mingtang" to read.
Sun Simiao was indeed a remarkable man of his generation, and one of the best among the many miraculous doctors in ancient times. He pioneered many firsts.
For example, his book Qian Jin Fang is the first medical encyclopedia in China. He was also the first person to fully discuss medical ethics. He was also the first person to establish gynecology and pediatrics.
Not many works of this medical genius have survived.
"Three People in Mingtang" is probably one of them.
Li Quan read carefully, identifying the acupuncture points and meridians on the human figure illustration.
Western medicine does not recognize the concept of acupoints.
If someone has studied Chinese medicine but does not understand acupoints, then it is just a waste of time.
It can be said that acupoints are one of the basic sciences of traditional Chinese medicine.
For example, acupuncture, massage, qigong, etc. all require the use of acupoints.
Li Quan had seen many acupuncture point diagrams before, but he had never read the Mingtang Three People Diagram. This time, he learned a lot, such as some new acupuncture points, and various explanations about acupuncture points and meridians.
They all gave him a refreshing experience and helped him learn a lot of knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine.
“Ahem…”
Someone is coughing.
Li Quan was engrossed in reading a book, so he naturally ignored it.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
The coughing sound became louder. It didn't sound like a normal cough, but rather like a deliberate cough.
Li Quan still ignored him.
"Boy, don't you see that I'm an old man standing? Why are you pretending? Giving up your seat to the elderly is a public virtue, don't you know? You let an old man like me stand, but you feel at ease sitting down. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
The person who was coughing saw that Li Quan had no intention of giving up his seat.
Didn't even look up at him.
He immediately became unhappy, and took advantage of his seniority to grab Li Quan and scold him.
When Li Quan heard someone scolding him, he reluctantly took his eyes off the book and looked up at the person who was scolding him.
This is an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, strong body, triangular eyes, wearing a white vest, black shorts, and a pair of leather shoes.
Many passengers looked at Li Quan.
We often see news reports about elderly people forcing others to give up their seats. There was even an elderly man who sat directly on a teenage girl because she was a little late in giving up her seat.
I didn't expect to encounter this myself this time.
Li Quan was originally planning to give up his seat, but after seeing the old man's bad attitude, he gave up the idea.
This kind of person must not be encouraged to be arrogant.
After glancing at the old man calmly, Li Quan spoke.
"First of all, I paid for the ticket, so it is my right to sit on the bus. Secondly, you are far from being too old to stand. Moreover, the bus is not yours. If you want me to give up my seat to you, you can friendly way, instead of forcing me to give up my seat to you by taking advantage of your age and being overbearing like you are doing now."
"Finally, I would like to say that I am not sitting in a seat for the elderly, the sick or the disabled, and I have no obligation to give up my seat to anyone."
Li Quan's words were spoken with great righteousness.
It also expressed the thoughts of many people.
Why are there so many unreasonable elderly people? They are spoiled.
A psychologist gave an example that makes a lot of sense.
If I give you a dollar every day, and then suddenly stop giving you one day, you will hate me. If I slap you every day, and then stop slapping you one day , you will be grateful to me.
That's human nature.
