Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1441 Striving for Fame and Profit, Catering to Preferences: The First Step in Expanding Enrollment in Traditional Chinese Medicine Departments

"Are they still waiting for my reply?" Fang Yan asked his master, Lu Donghua.

Lu Donghua shook his head and said:

"We didn't talk about this when we met, but I suspect they might send someone to look for you later."

Fang Yan smiled and said:
"Okay, then I'll wait for them to come to me."

Wang Zhenlin is well aware of the motives of the Western medical capital behind him; this is a demonstration of their "sincerity" and "strength."

Perhaps Wang Zhenlin's initial move was part of their plan to create trouble for Fang Yan, so they could take the opportunity to demonstrate that they could do things that others couldn't.

After all, to win people over, you have to cater to their preferences.

For people like those speaking in dialects, simply using wealth to win them over is probably not very effective, which is why a Nobel Prize nomination is so precious.

However, they probably didn't expect that Fang Yan hadn't even looked at the nominations, but was aiming for the Nobel Prize.

They are now planning to attract dialects, and dialects are also planning to show them a huge market. They know that fame may attract dialects, but dialects know even better that there are secrets to profit and wealth, which are even more attractive to them.

Capitalists are profit-driven; they don't care about traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. As long as they can see a huge market behind it, they will be tempted.

And what dialects are all about is captivating them.

At this moment, Master Lu Donghua said to Fang Yan:

"Actually, if you don't want to talk to him, I'll just tell him to stop coming."

"No," Fang Yan said, shaking her head.
“I really want to talk to them. I have some messages to pass on to them, but I can’t take the initiative to contact them. They have to come to you or contact me. If they do come to you, please pass on a message for me, saying, ‘I appreciate your kind intentions. If there is any need in the future, I will contact you.’”

That statement is somewhat tantalizing.

Hearing Fang Yan say this, Lu Donghua, though unsure of Fang Yan's exact thoughts, knew that Fang Yan must already have an idea, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, then we'll do it your way."

……

Next, Fang Yan went back to the bedroom. The temperature had dropped considerably by then, and little Fang Chengze slept much more soundly.

Fang Yan sat down and chatted with Zhu Lin for a while about what had happened at home during the five days he was away.

Mainly, Huang Huijie's family members came.

It's the same guy who came last time.

The other party brought gifts to the courtyard to meet Huang Huijie and her child, and then took a photo to take back.

They probably sensed Huang Huijie's wariness of them, so they didn't even eat lunch there.

Everything else is normal.

Fang Yan nodded. With Peng Chunxia always watching over the house, he felt much more at ease.

After chatting for a while, Fang Yan prepared to go out.

He said to Zhu Lin:

"I need to go out for a while. I have a patient whose prescription needs to be revised, and I also need to go to the Ministry of Health and the Research Institute to report on my work. I will definitely be back before lunch."

Zhu Lin agreed:
"Okay, go ahead, come back when you're free."

Fang Yan nodded, glanced at the child, then put on her coat and went out. Her master, Lu Donghua, also had to go to work at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, so he went out with Fang Yan.

He also learned that Fang Yan had brought back a patient last night, and it wasn't time to see him yet, so he followed Fang Yan to the TCM ward floor.

Old Tao was almost finished with his rounds when Fang Yan arrived at the ward of the retired cadre from last night. Old Fan was giving the old man acupuncture according to the doctor's instructions he had given him.

After filling out the hospitalization forms, Fang Yan already knew that the old man's surname was Shi.

"Comrade Shi, how are you feeling after taking your medicine today?" Fang Yan greeted him as soon as he entered the room.

Upon hearing the dialect, the old man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them.

Upon seeing Fang Yan, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded slowly and said softly:

"I feel much better now, I can breathe properly, but I don't dare to talk too much, I feel a bit tired."

Fang Yan said after hearing this:
"Your body is still recovering, so it's normal to feel tired if you talk too much. Try to talk as little as possible these days, and if you can walk, try to walk slowly. In short, avoid strenuous exercise."

He has a lung problem, and Fang Yan's advice was based on the same principles as those for dealing with altitude sickness in high-altitude areas. He is now essentially experiencing altitude sickness, and Fang Yan's advice was ultimately correct.

Upon hearing the dialect spoken, the old man nodded.

Fang Yan had already started taking the pulse. Last night, the old man's breathing still had a hissing sound, but now that was completely gone.

Just like Lao Tao said, the recovery was indeed quite fast.

The pulse diagnosis confirmed Fang Yan's judgment; the old man's condition was better than expected, probably because he had only been ill for half a month.

If it were someone else, they would probably just stay at home and wait to die. Of course, if he were to have surgery, the outcome would probably not be very optimistic.

She's too old; it doesn't seem like a situation that can be adjusted.

Old Fan is performing the acupuncture he requested yesterday, using the dialect.

The Zusanli acupoint strengthens the spleen and stomach, while the Guanyuan acupoint tonifies the kidneys and promotes the absorption of Qi.

After checking the pulses in both hands, Fang Yan examined the old man's tongue and then began to strengthen his constitution and nourish his vital energy. He used Yu Ping Feng San combined with Sheng Mai Yin as a base, adding placenta powder to replenish vital energy and Rhodiola rosea to strengthen the heart and lungs.

He asked the medical staff here to adjust their arrangements so that the old man would be fed once at 10 o'clock, and then they would start observing his condition.

After everything was arranged here, Fang Yan told the old man to get proper treatment here, and then he and his master, Lu Donghua, went to the outpatient clinic.

The main reason is that I want to check on the medical visits I've had these past few days now that I'm back.

Besides his master Lu Donghua, who is practicing medicine here, there are also people he recruited before. He will bring them back soon to start implementing the expansion of the TCM department. Fang Yan also wants these people to recommend their classmates or something.

Fang Yan first gathered them together for a morning meeting, asking if they had encountered any patients whose problems they couldn't solve recently. Lin Hongjun came up with one, while the others had all solved their problems.

Fang Yan is quite satisfied with their cure rate. So far, most people have been able to complete the task well. After all, most ordinary people suffer from common illnesses, so it's not a difficult task for them.

After the meeting, Fang Yan casually mentioned to them that the TCM department was about to expand its recruitment, and told them to contact their classmates and invite people they thought were capable of handling the current job.

Everyone agreed and said they would definitely make the contact.

Fang Yan then prepared to go to the research institute. As soon as he arrived at the parking lot, he saw a middle-aged man acting suspiciously next to his car.

P.S.: I didn't sleep well, so I'll update less. I'll make up for it later tonight.
