Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1393 Lecture, Unprecedented in Scale (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

After Zhang Fu's situation was confirmed, Fang Yan began to make arrangements for the lecture.

This is not only a significant event for traditional Chinese medicine, but also for Western medicine. What they previously considered incurable diseases have now been proven wrong through their clinical practice, showing that there are indeed ways to cure them.

The next step is to send an invitation letter to the Western medicine doctors.

As mentioned before, the people who should be invited most are the staff from the epidemic prevention stations of the hospitals where Zhang Fu previously sought medical treatment. However, Fang Yan has a different idea now. He believes that invitations should also be sent to major Western medical colleges and universities so that their staff can attend the lectures and then go back to inform their students.

Moreover, it would be best to have the Ministry of Health send them invitations, or have the local dialect or traditional Chinese medicine school send them the invitations, since these people might not even show up.

They only pay attention when the Ministry of Health issues them.

After thinking it through, Fang Yan called the people in each department again to discuss the matter.

Then, Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of Health asked Secretary Huang to arrange this matter. Vice Minister Li was the most supportive person in the Ministry of Health regarding the development of traditional Chinese medicine, mainly because dialects played a significant role in it.

The effort led by the Ministry of Health and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office to attract overseas Chinese to return to China for medical treatment and investment has already exceeded expectations from the beginning. The group of people who returned during the National Day holiday made investments before coming back.

While it's not fair to say the project couldn't have been completed without the local dialect, it certainly wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it has now.

Fang Yan is a surprise asset jointly created by the Ministry of Health and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council.

Moreover, to this day, there is no record of any failures in the dialect.

This morning, Fang Yan saw five more patients in a row.

Compared to the ten patients in the previous two days, the patients on the third day had much better symptoms. At least one of them was helped in, while the other four walked in on their own.

After diagnosis, three of the patients were determined to require hospitalization, while the other two did not.

Of course, there were still no gifts. Whatever Wang Zhenlin wanted to do, he had already made sure Fang Yan didn't receive any gifts.

So far, Fang Yan has only received a watch from Lu Wen the day before yesterday.

In the morning, Wang Zhenlin did indeed come again, but his master Lu Donghua was not at work today and had gone to the set of "Huang Feihong" to have fun.

He later wanted to come to Fang Yan's clinic, but Fang Yan politely asked him to leave.

Then he went to the inpatient department.

However, he was now under close surveillance and was immediately asked to leave by the head nurse.

Wang Zhenlin could clearly sense Fang Yan's wariness towards him.

The investigation into him is also ongoing.

It remains to be seen when we'll be able to figure out his background.

……

Several more days passed quickly.

Zhang Fu has fully met the discharge criteria, whether by traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine.

The rabies lecture was also arranged at this time, and the venue was chosen to be the auditorium of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The time was set to start at 2 pm.

Those confirmed to be present included leaders from the Ministry of Health, professors from various Chinese and Western medicine schools, leaders from hospitals in Beijing, and media representatives, arranged by the Ministry of Health.

The afternoon lecture was of a much higher standard than the dialect group had anticipated.

After seeing patients in the morning, Fang Yan had lunch with the main attendees of the afternoon meeting and also mentioned the lecture arrangements.

The main thing is to carefully consider the dialect used in this setting. Although the result was somewhat embarrassing for Western medicine, one still needs to be tactful in speaking and not say everything directly. Shen Zhanyao, who was speaking, should pay special attention to this.

There's no need to worry about dialects; he's a seasoned pro in this area and would never use any sensitive words that might offend people. The main purpose today is to promote this formula so that it can be spread and save more people, not to declare war on Western medicine.

After finalizing the arrangements, Fang Yan and his team went to the Union Auditorium to check the setup in advance.

The people in charge of assigning tasks were comrades from the logistics department, who were all familiar faces to Fang Yan. Ma Ge and his team, who had installed the heating pipes at Fang Yan's house last time, were in charge here.

Fang Yan noticed that the seating arrangement was divided into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, with TCM on one side and Western medicine on the other. Fang Yan said to them:

"Let's change it. Let's combine traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine and have them work together."

"We must avoid escalating confrontation, create an atmosphere for exchange, promote the current dialogue, and ensure that everyone can communicate at any time."

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Brother Ma immediately agreed and, without saying a word, ordered his men to readjust their positions.

People started arriving even before we finished this part.

The first people to arrive were Fang Yan's research institute staff. Lao He and Lao Zeng came with a group of people to support Fang Yan. When they came in and saw that the setup was still underway, they joined in.

Next came the doctors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Those who didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, or those who were on their day off, all came over. Although they were officially separated into traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine practitioners, Fang Yan was still a doctor from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and moreover, they were all members of the same club.

Having discussed so many cutting-edge issues in Western medicine with Fang Yan, they actually have no objection to the fact that traditional Chinese medicine can now find ways to treat diseases that are incurable by Western medicine. In fact, they are very happy. They consider Fang Yan one of their own, and the better he does, the happier they are.

Then people from the dialect school and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute arrived; they were all brought there by vehicles arranged by the schools.

They arrived a little later than the people from the research institute. After arriving, they saw the scene bustling with activity and joined in as well. Fang Yaozhong and Liu Duzhou were the original advocates of integrating Western learning into Chinese culture. Now, Fang Yan's lecture is another example of integrating Western learning into Chinese culture.
The two were quite satisfied with and admired Fang Yan, the student. They didn't have any medical records for this occasion, but if they did, they would have to go on stage and say a few words.

Next to arrive was a team of professors from another TCM university, Capital Medical University, who were also invited.

After they arrived, hospitals that combine Western and traditional Chinese medicine, such as Tiantan Hospital, Yanjing Hospital, Air Force General Hospital, and Jishuitan Hospital, also showed up.

Then, the media personnel started arriving one after another, and the scene immediately became lively. Fang Yan went up to greet them warmly and introduced Shen Zhanyao and the patient Zhang Fu.

After the introductions were finished, Zhang Fu pointed to the door and said to Fang Yan:

"Dr. Fang, the doctor who treated me before has arrived..."
