Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 43, Be Content with the Status Quo (More Updates Requested)
After Zhao Mancang finished explaining the recipe, he said:

"Actually, this is just a folk remedy passed down from ancient times. There's really nothing special about it."

"It can play a certain auxiliary role in trauma treatment, helping to relieve the patient's pain, etc., but in emergency situations like Director Shen's, acupuncture and moxibustion are more important."

"I believe Dr. Ming still remembers the condition of our Factory Director Shen's wound. I promptly performed wound debridement, fracture fixation, and vacuum aspiration, and also received acupuncture treatment."

"Combining these, and supplementing this folk remedy, we were able to achieve the same rapid recovery effect as Director Shen."

"However, injuries like these still require appropriate guidance and treatment based on the severity of the injury, rather than blindly."

Although Zhao Mancang's Chinese medicine and Western medicine skills are both at the second level, they don't seem to be very impressive.

But he also spent 100 experience points to buy an emergency trauma treatment kit, as well as the remaining medicine from treating horses at the Beijing Heavy Machinery Factory, which allowed Shen Zhongxin to recover so quickly.

After Zhao Mancang finished speaking, Ming Guoping immediately put down his pen and was about to ask for a more specific treatment plan when Peng Wenxian next to him asked first.

Both doctors from Union Hospital were very interested in this quick recovery treatment method.

However, Zhao Mancang simply shook his head and said:
"I can explain in detail methods like wound cleaning, fracture fixation, and vacuum suction. However, as for acupuncture, it all depends on your individual skill."

Ming Guoping and Peng Wenxian nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, the conflict between Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine has become very obvious throughout the mainland.

Especially during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, China experienced more than half a century of bloody storms, and a large number of casualties occurred due to a large number of wars.

At such times, Western medicine and Western medicine that can treat symptoms quickly and kill viruses and bacteria have become extremely popular.

Traditional Chinese medicine declined rapidly at this time. It did not mean that traditional Chinese medicine completely disappeared, but that many people preferred Western medicine rather than traditional Chinese medicine.

But even so, traditional Chinese medicine is still an indispensable part of the land of China.

Doctors like Ming Guoping and Peng Wenxian at Union Hospital are almost all very good at both Chinese and Western medicine. They are not like those older Chinese medicine practitioners who are stubborn and find it difficult to accept Western medicine treatments.

They are not those who look down on traditional Chinese medicine after studying Western medicine for a few years.

The art of acupuncture is profound and extensive, and Ming Guoping and Peng Wenxian certainly understand it very well.

He immediately listened very carefully to Zhao Mancang's detailed description of the treatment method for Shen Zhongxin that day.

The more I listened, the more surprised I was: Comrade Zhao Mancang in front of me has really amazing medical skills.

So, after Ming Guoping and Peng Wenxian got what they wanted, they closed their notebooks and said to Zhao Mancang seriously:

"Comrade Zhao, your medical skills are already very impressive. We really hope you can come to Union Hospital instead of staying here as a breeder. This would be a waste of your talent."

Next to him, Yang Shourong, who had been silent all the time, was surprisingly calm at this moment and still did not speak.

But he was still quite surprised and speechless.

After all, they were fooled by this kid Zhao Mancang that day. Xing Shuqi, Shen Zhongxin and others also mistakenly thought that Zhao Mancang's medical skills were mediocre, so they agreed to his request to continue working as a breeder.

In addition, Zhao Mancang was very lazy and claimed to be content with his current job, so Yang Shourong and the others did not force him. However, Ming Guoping and Peng Wenxian's attitude towards Zhao Mancang today was enough to illustrate the latter's medical skills.

At the very least, Zhao Mancang has his own ideas about treating trauma or impact trauma, and his treatment methods are very good.

Without making any expression, Yang Shourong wanted to see how Zhao Mancang would respond to Ming Guoping and the others?
As a result, Zhao Mancang immediately looked at Yang Shourong and said:
"Our factory director is still here, Doctor Ming. It's wrong for you to poach people like this."

“We also have a clinic in our steel plant.”

"And I think being a breeder is a great job. The daily work is simple, just dealing with cattle, horses, pigs and other livestock."

After politely declining, Zhao Mancang prepared to make an excuse to leave.

However, Ming Guoping and the others still did not intend to give up. After all, the medical skills demonstrated by Zhao Mancang were indeed very good.

However, Zhao Mancang has begun to be humble at this time, so no matter what Peng Wenxian and others say, he just insists that he only knows this one thing.

In the end, Ming Guoping and Peng Wenxian left helplessly and regretfully.

After they left, Yang Shourong looked at Zhao Mancang with a half-smile and said:
"You're such a stubborn kid! Wouldn't it be better for you to be a doctor at Union Hospital? You know, Union Hospital is the best among all the hospitals in Beijing."

"Doctors' salaries are high? Are they higher than my salary as a level six breeder?"

Zhao Mancang's rhetorical question immediately left Yang Shourong speechless.

It’s hard to say how much Zhao Mancang would have earned if he had gone to Union Hospital.

Simply put, if Zhao Mancang was a college graduate, then in his first year after graduation, his salary would definitely be the standard for a level 13 junior physician, which is 55 yuan.

But it is obvious that Zhao Mancang is not a graduate of medical university.

In the 1950s, doctors' salaries were at the higher end of the technical range, and were based on technician standards.

For example, the salaries of technical levels one to three are those of chief engineers, professors, researchers, academicians, and chief physicians; levels four to six are those of deputy technical positions; and levels seven to nine are those of senior deputy chief physicians.

The salary standard for junior doctors at level 13 is the lowest among all doctors. Of course, there are interns, whose salary is even lower.

Yang Shourong still told Zhao Mancang the approximate salary standard for doctors. Upon hearing this, he rolled his eyes:

"If I could reach the level of a junior doctor, you wouldn't have to tell me I would become a doctor myself."

In fact, he certainly knew that the doctor was very busy, which could be seen from Ming Guoping's tone that day.

Doctors were scarcer in the 1950s, but there were no fewer patients.

For Zhao Mancang, who likes to lie down, being a doctor is not as good as being a breeder.

What's more, there is a saying in later generations that if you persuade someone to study medicine, God will strike you.

Anyway, for Zhao Mancang now, being content with the status quo is better than anything else.
