Chapter 96 The Widow Version of Liu Ruyan

It's difficult to distinguish between different levels of medical skill, but in a hospital, a doctor's rank can still be indicative of some things.

Resident physicians are junior professionals, and most of them are recent graduates who work under the guidance of senior physicians to accumulate experience. This time varies from person to person.

Next are the so-called attending physicians, who have intermediate professional titles, certain clinical experience, and can independently handle common symptoms.

Associate chief physician, with a senior professional title, possessing rich clinical experience and a high level of technical skills, Pan Limin is such a person.

The chief physician he mentioned is, simply put, a highly authoritative figure in this field, or even a so-called expert.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Lin Mo is already capable of being an attending physician. After all, becoming a chief physician requires more than just knowing massage and bone setting; one also needs to master other aspects of traditional Chinese medicine.

Lin Mo is clearly superior to Pan Limin in terms of massage and bone setting, but even so, his skills are still amazing.

To be able to reach this level as a senior in college is truly remarkable. If he didn't care about the medical certification issues, he could start working at a hospital anytime.

"Teacher, you said that my junior brother's skills are passed down from his family, are they from a folk tradition, or are they from a senior figure in our industry?"

After experiencing Lin Mo's skill level, Pan Limin felt as if he had seen a rising star in their field of traditional Chinese medicine. At his age, he already had this level of skill; he would definitely be a leader in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the future.

Putting everything else aside, with this connection, if the sect prospers in the future, they'll have one more person to recruit, instead of getting a scolding every time they call the teacher over.

If Lin Mo achieves anything in the future, he can brag to others by saying that so-and-so is his junior brother. In short, there are many benefits.

"From the common folk, right?" Professor Li was a little unsure how to answer, remembering Lin Mo saying that he learned it from his maternal grandfather.

Now he has both good news and bad news. The good news is that he has succeeded in using Lin Mo to attack his student, and he has even exceeded expectations.

The bad news is that there's no one left to talk to Lin Mo. He had been thinking that since Lin Mo was interested in massage and bone setting, he could find someone to talk to more, which might spark his interest in traditional Chinese medicine. But now it seems that won't work.

After all, liking massage and bone setting doesn't necessarily mean liking traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine encompasses too many aspects, and most people nowadays choose one area as their main focus. Only the older generation of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were mostly all-rounders.

Of course, there are also all-around TCM doctors nowadays, but they are few and far between. After all, a person's energy is limited. For example, this student of his specializes in massage and now works in the rehabilitation department.

At this moment, Lin Mo was chatting with his senior brother, Xiao Fan, outside the department.

"Don't worry, junior brother, the medicine has been prepared and someone has been found to brew it. I've been personally overseeing it," Fan Peng said with a smile, patting his chest.

Although he had been scolded quite a bit these past two days, he was already used to it. With another junior brother, he would have someone to share the blame when he was being scolded, which was great. Therefore, he was quite enthusiastic.

"Thank you very much, senior brother." Lin Mo was very grateful. It is said that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the government. It is the same if you have someone in the hospital.

Who can be sure they won't get sick in their lifetime? Building good relationships is always a good idea, you never know when you might need them, so he wasn't bothered by Professor Li's closeness.

Although he has no interest in studying medicine, who knows, he might find TCM skills appearing on shopping pages in the future, and then he'll have an excuse.

"It's nothing, let's add each other on WeChat. Come find me when you come here, and I'll definitely make arrangements for you. If I can't, I'll just call the teacher! At worst, I'll just get a scolding," Fan Peng suggested.

Lin Mo:
Why don't I just go find Professor Li directly instead of wasting my time? This is like taking off your pants to fart!
But he didn't refuse, after all, the other person had just helped him and even personally took him to pay the bill; it was just a matter of exchanging contact information.

The two added each other on WeChat. When Lin Mo saw the other person's WeChat name, he almost burst out laughing: "Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up!" Sure enough, he looked like a medical student.

I casually opened Xiao Fan's WeChat Moments.

Today: I got scolded and still had to write doctor's orders. So tiring.

Yesterday: I got an oral medication instead of an enema, and the head nurse chased after me and yelled at me. It was so upsetting.

[July/September: I didn't get yelled at today, so happy! Time to go home!]

[June/September: It's so frustrating! Today, the teacher showed up and gave us all a dressing-down. After the teacher left, I got yelled at by my senior classmates too. So sad!]

He just casually rummaged around and discovered a scene that made him both amused and exasperated. It has to be said that this Senior Brother Fan is either being scolded or on his way to being scolded. He feels like he's celebrating the New Year if he doesn't get scolded for a day.

I scrolled down and found that the content was roughly the same: either he was being scolded or he made a mistake. In short, even just looking at his WeChat Moments, you could understand his impressive record.

"What are you two whispering about outside? Come in!"

Just then, Professor Li's voice came from inside.

The two hurried inside and saw Professor Li sitting in a chair drinking water. Pan Limin said, "It's almost time, Professor. I'll head back to my office now. Call me if you need anything."

Professor Li nodded, ignoring his student. He was already so old; he rarely caused him any trouble anymore.

Before leaving, Pan Limin patted him on the shoulder, telling him to learn well from his teacher, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in his expression. After Pan Limin left, Professor Li turned to him and asked, "How's your medicine going?"

"Brother Fan just helped me pay the money, saying the medicine is ready and being decocted, and I should wait a little longer."

"Yes, teacher, don't worry. I've already spoken to them, and I personally supervised the dispensing of the medicine."

Upon hearing this, Professor Li nodded and then looked at him and said, "Xiao Lin, I originally wanted you to communicate more with Pan Limin, and even go to his department to gain more clinical experience, but with your level, it seems that you don't need to go there anymore."

"Alright then, since brewing the medicine will take time anyway, you two can come with me for the consultations and just listen in. Especially Xiaolin, you have great talent, don't waste it."

Lin Mo didn't feel anything, but Fan Peng, who was standing next to him, was very happy. He was glad to have a teacher to guide him and learn something. He quickly took out his notebook.

After thinking about it, he realized that it would take time to brew the medicine, and since he had nothing else to do, he decided to stay and see how the old Chinese medicine doctor treated patients. Fan Peng, who was standing next to him, even found him a white coat to put on.

Soon it was time for the afternoon shift to start, but Professor Li didn't have many patients.

It was through Fan Peng that he learned that Professor Li was an expert and quite old. In addition, he had tasks to complete at the university, so he could only have 10 patients available each time he came to see patients, at most 15. In the past, there were even scalpers reselling his appointments, but fortunately, after reporting it to the police, the problem was resolved.

I'd already seen several patients this morning, so there weren't many in the afternoon. A few patients arrived gradually.

Professor Li carefully examines the pulses of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blockages, as well as those with diabetes requiring treatment, then patiently explains the treatments before prescribing medication.

During this time, I also explained to the two students behind me. Knowing that Lin Mo had no other knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine theory besides massage, I tried to make my explanation as easy to understand as possible. Of course, I didn't expect him to learn it. I just explained the causes of the disease and what methods to use.

Furthermore, when prescribing medication to patients, we try our best to avoid prescribing expensive drugs.

Although Lin Mo didn't understand, he managed to write down most of it, while Fan Peng, standing to the side, kept taking notes in a small notebook.

During the brief lull after each patient left, Professor Li would ask Lin Mo to repeat what he had said during his consultation, including the cause of the illness and the treatment method.

Fan Peng, standing beside him, was stunned by the amazing memory. No wonder his teacher insisted that this junior brother was talented.

Professor Li was also very satisfied with Lin Mo's performance. After all, he couldn't expect Lin Mo, who hadn't formally studied traditional Chinese medicine, to understand pharmacology, pulse diagnosis, and the like.

But it only strengthened his belief that this was a rough gem, the kind that could be easily polished into something great.

Time flies, and more than two hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

Professor Li took a sip of water and asked him, "Xiao Lin, how are you feeling? Was it difficult?"

"You seem really impressive, but I didn't really understand much of what you said," Lin Mo said with a smile, scratching his head.

Upon hearing this, Professor Li laughed and said, "That's exactly why it's difficult. You haven't systematically studied the relevant knowledge, and you don't even understand pharmacology. In our field of traditional Chinese medicine, experience is everything. I've studied for my whole life to get to this level. But you're smarter than me, at least you have a good memory. With more experience, you'll naturally gain expertise. I'll get you two books in a bit. If you're interested, go back and take a look. You're still young, no rush!"

Fan Peng, standing to the side, looked bewildered. Wasn't his junior fellow student studying medicine? How come he hadn't received any systematic medical training?
And is this really the same teacher who always yells at him? Why is he so kind and gentle to his junior brother? I'm not having it!

"Alright, just one more patient. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can leave!" Professor Li stretched and then notified the last patient.

After such a long time, you could clearly feel his fatigue.

Soon, the department door was pushed open, and Lin Mo was stunned when he saw who it was.

A slender figure dressed in a plain-colored long dress walked in; it was none other than Emperor Ruyan.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan no longer had the strong woman demeanor she once had. Her eyes were no longer alluring, and she was no longer charming. Her already fair face had become sickly pale, and even her lips had lost some color. She gently rubbed her lower abdomen with one hand, which gave people a sense of simple elegance and misery.

Upon seeing Liu Ruyan like this, three words instantly popped into Lin Mo's mind—widow!
Especially her plain white dress, paired with the sickly paleness on her face and the occasional slight frown, made Boss Cao exclaim that she was an expert!
"Liu, what brings you here?" Lin Mo asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was stunned, then her eyes widened: "You...you..."

Liu Ruyan looked him up and down, especially noticing his white coat and the way he looked like an intern. Her previously sickly face flushed slightly, and as if remembering something, she spoke:

"I never knew you had this side to you, in uniform."

Lin Mo: "Ahem."

Seeing that the women were about to speak recklessly, he quickly interrupted them and gestured that there were other people in the room, so they shouldn't say anything inappropriate.

"Ahem. I'm sorry," Liu Ruyan said to Professor Li with a slight apology.

Fan Peng:
Professor Li:
This patient seems a bit abnormal!
