Chapter 43: Wrong direction, all efforts in vain
The business car slowly drove into a five-star hotel and finally stopped at the hotel entrance.
"Professors, we've arrived at the hotel! The meeting will be held in the large conference room on the 14th floor!" The driver got out of the car and opened the door for them, appearing very respectful.
It was the first time that Li Quan enjoyed such VIP treatment.
He knew that this was thanks to the three professors.
"I hope that one day I can become a medical master like my teacher, and be respected wherever I go." Li Quan silently set an ambitious goal for himself.
Professor Liu became the first beacon in his life.
After the six people got off the car, a woman in a black business suit and long hair came to greet them at the hotel entrance. Even from a distance, her face was full of smiles.
"Professor Tang, Professor Liu, Professor Xie, you three great doctors are finally here ! President Zhao couldn't leave due to something, so he specifically asked me to greet you at the door! Seeing you here, I feel relieved!"
The woman looked to be about thirty years old, with elegant manners and appropriate speech.
The smile on her face is warm and natural, making people feel like a spring breeze.
It can be seen that she did a lot of work in advance.
The order of greeting the three professors is very particular, and is determined according to the strength and status of the three professors.
Professor Tang from the Department of Internal Medicine is undoubtedly the most senior of the three professors.
When shaking hands, the woman was able to accurately recognize all three professors, which is not easy.
"I don't deserve to be a miracle doctor! Sorry for keeping you waiting!"
Professor Tang smiled modestly.
"I guess these three must be the professors' top students. Welcome!" The middle-aged woman shook hands with the three professors, then greeted Li Quan and others with a smile.
"The meeting is about to start, please go upstairs!"
She stepped aside to make a please gesture, then smiled and led the way.
"Welcome!"
When entering the door, four beautiful receptionists in cheongsams bowed to greet him.
Li Quan felt so discouraged by such imperial-like treatment that he felt as if he was walking on cotton, so light and fluttery.
He was just an intern at the lowest level, and he usually kept a low profile.
I have never enjoyed such an honor.
The group took the elevator directly to the 14th floor.
"Hey, Dr. Li, when we were in the car just now, I noticed that you were concentrating on reading. No wonder even Professor Tang praised you for being so good. You really work much harder than us."
Qin Shuang asked in a low voice with admiration on his face.
"If you're heading in the wrong direction, all your efforts will be in vain! Qin Shuang, do you know what book he was reading in the car?" Wang Sungui sneered in a sinister voice .
His voice was not small, and the three professors in front and the receptionist could definitely hear it clearly.
"Oh, isn't it a medical book?" Qin Shuang asked, and immediately realized that this might embarrass Li Quan0, so he hurried to make amends. "Even if Doctor Li is not reading a medical book, it's okay. Everyone has a personal hobby."
She is quite considerate.
"Hehe, if he was reading non-medical books, I wouldn't say anything. But he was reading the old antique book Qian's Pediatric Prescriptions. Excuse me, reading this kind of medical book is a waste of time. Compared with advanced modern medicine, the knowledge in these books is already very backward. It's like primitive people still paddling small logs in the pond, while modern military powers have already driven aircraft carriers across the sea."
"Reading this outdated medical book, don't you think your efforts are in vain?"
Wang Sungui's face revealed a sense of superiority.
It was as if Li Quan was a fool and he was the only genius.
To put it bluntly, the reason why he belittled Li Quan was because of jealousy.
No matter Professor Tang and Professor Xie's high praise for Li Quan, or Qin Shuang's favor for Li Quan, Wang Sungui was very dissatisfied.
"Well...ancient medical books are the precious heritage left by our ancestors. There's no harm in taking a look at them." Qin Shuang tried to smooth things over.
After all, she was the one who started the conversation.
However, she was obviously not optimistic about ancient medical books.
Professor Liu, who was standing in front, sounded a little unhappy.
He turned and glanced at the three young juniors.
"Although ancient medical books are old, they are not useless. On the contrary, they are the condensation of the wisdom of ancient Chinese doctors over thousands of years. They are broad and profound, and are no worse than modern medicine. It's just that we, the later generations, cannot comprehend their essence and can only learn some superficial knowledge, so we think they are useless."
Professor Liu has a lofty passion for traditional Chinese medicine.
I have always wanted to revitalize Traditional Chinese Medicine.
He felt particularly sad to hear that the younger generation was so disrespectful of the precious heritage left by their ancestors.
"Director Liu, I don't agree with what you said." Wang Sungui had a bad temper like a scholar. He would not agree with anything he didn't agree with, and he would argue it out.
Professor Liu shook his head and sighed.
It is really difficult to change these people 's prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine.
Young people have their own thoughts, and he can understand that.
Wang Sungui and Qin Shuang are both outstanding young doctors, and they have a great chance of becoming the backbone of the medical field in the future. Forcing them to accept Chinese medicine will only backfire. We can only guide them slowly and change their minds little by little.
The most frustrating thing is that Professor Liu’s level of Chinese medicine is very average, and he cannot provide strong evidence to convince the two young doctors.
His eyes subconsciously looked at Li Quan.
His level of traditional Chinese medicine is average, but Li Quan's magical skills in traditional Chinese medicine have amazed everyone many times.
Perhaps finding a suitable opportunity for Li Quan to show his skills in front of these young doctors would be far more useful than his earnest persuasion.
"Why, Director Liu, do you think I'm wrong? Take the Compendium of Materia Medica, which is highly praised by Chinese people. It records the properties and effects of a large number of Chinese herbal medicines. Some of the prescriptions in it can indeed cure diseases. However, compared with modern high-tech Western medicines, it is far inferior. For the same minor cold, taking the herbs in the Compendium of Materia Medica will take five or six days to work. Taking Western medicine, any cold capsule will work in three hours."
"If you look at the market, whether it's patients or doctors, at least 90% choose Western medicine."
Wang Sungui refuted Professor Liu's point of view with convincing arguments.
"You, why don't you listen to advice, kid?" Professor Liu was so angry that his face turned red.
I wanted to persuade Wang Sungui not to look down on the tradition of traditional Chinese medicine anymore.
Fortunately, he was persuaded by Wang Sungui.
"Old Liu, don't waste your energy. These young people are very stubborn. I have taught them many times that the Chinese medicine tradition left by our ancestors is great, but they either argue with me by citing classics or turn a blind eye. It will not be achieved overnight if we want to change the status of Chinese medicine. To put it bluntly, we still lack an influential master of Chinese medicine!"
Professor Tang hit the nail on the head.
No matter which technical industry you are in, it all depends on your ability.
As long as your skills are better than others, everyone will respect you.
Otherwise, it's useless to talk too much.
Li Quan remained silent. Even though Wang Sungui belittled him in every possible way, his expression remained the same. Don't worry, when the opportunity comes, he will let Wang Sungui know what a silent slap in the face is.
He will let Qin Shuang experience the magic of Chinese medicine.
