Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1888 - 1691:

Doctor Wu Guo’s resume is quite impressive.

He graduated from Ning City Medical College, first interned at Ning City Third People’s Hospital but didn’t become a regular employee.

Later, he moved to a small marginal town—relationships in such places can be even more complex than in big cities, mostly arranged by the county Brahman, so... he couldn’t stay.

In the medical field, who doesn’t know a few acquaintances? After some inquiries, Doctor Xiaoguo found out that the issue wasn’t with the person’s character or medical errors; he was also a talented individual from a humble background. So, she had the intention to keep him.

To put it plainly, people in their line of work are not afraid of youth, as long as they can find help when needed.

Moreover, in a village clinic, giving injections to the elderly, administering IVs, dispensing medicine, and listening to people’s chatter all require patience and time.

If they were to solely hire nursing professionals, they wouldn’t be able to diagnose simple illnesses. Even from a Western medicine diagnostic perspective, she might not be as competent as others.

Now that the right person has come along, why not keep him to avoid losses?

As for how Wu Guo asked about cooperation?

Isn’t that simple?

Doctor Xiaoguo waved to everyone, "Who’s first?"

Mr. Yun eagerly stepped forward, "Observing with integrated Chinese and Western medicine?"

He was quite excited. Wasn’t the queue in the hospital always extremely long? Even though he’s young, in hospital departments, older patients can’t even get appointments.

Doctor Xiaoguo really wanted to do so.

But unfortunately, her countryside clinic doesn’t even have decent equipment these days.

It’s embarrassing to say, but pet shops have ultrasound machines and CT scanners, while the only frequently used equipment she has is a stethoscope.

She wants to test his skills, but there’s no way to have someone trained in Western medicine to be tested bare-handedly, is there?

Therefore, the assessment was on another aspect—

"There’s a consultation room over there, Doctor Wu, please go and take a look, ask about past medical history, and if there’s any discomfort, write a suitable prescription..."

Just write, no need to use it, she just wants to see if it’s appropriate.

If you can’t understand, just nod to the teacher.

As for the other two applying for the nursing position, isn’t it simple? Just lend a hand and work together.

Just see if they’re efficient and serious with their work, that’s enough.

As for the skills of drawing blood and giving injections, patients shouldn’t be joked about either. After everyone leaves, she’ll personally assess it.

The two nurse applicants exchanged a glance and quickly got into the swing of things.

While Doctor Wu looked a bit confused.

After everything was said and done, the job testing his skills sounded no different from what the nurses were doing?

But studying medicine till now, the harsh realities have already smoothed his edges. Now he just wants to quickly find a job, so he wouldn’t have to keep asking his family for money after graduation.

Thus, he obediently flipped through a stack of medical records and went to the adjacent consultation room.

Meanwhile, he sighed inwardly: have things really gotten this bad?

Previously, when he applied to clinics, they at least let him properly give injections and write prescriptions.

Doctor Xiaoguo also felt a bit embarrassed—

There’s no helping it; compared to city clinics, her resources might not be as complete as theirs.

Since the requirements aren’t high, let’s just do it this way.

At least get through the busiest times first; Doctor Wu can go publish a paper or take other exams later, it won’t be affected.

As for now...

Seeing Mr. Yun’s hand already eagerly placed on the pulse pillow, she pressed down on the pulse with her three fingers, applied gentle pressure, felt it for a moment, switched hands to check again, and then said:

"Uncle, do you often eat while getting angry?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"If so, your whole family’s spleen and stomach might not be in harmony."

Mr. Yun was stunned.

He’s seen many doctors, but none have asked this straight off the bat before.

He paused and then said, "Yes, I used to run a small business, so when calls came, issues needed addressing, it was hard to avoid being agitated."

But he couldn’t take it out on his family and kids, so while fuming, he had to eat quickly and resolve issues.

"So, is this disharmony hereditary or contagious? The whole family has it?"

Doctor Xiaoguo laughed, "Spleen and stomach not functioning well, and holding in anger, naturally the liver is also blocked. When these emotions are visible, how can the family not be affected?"

They might not express it, but that doesn’t mean they’re not feeling the irritation and frustration.

Over time, worry harms the spleen and stagnation harms the liver, isn’t it the case for the whole family?

In Chinese medicine, observing symptoms is like a chain reaction, although she only studied a modest amount, with more patients, she’s gathered some experience.

But Mr. Yun, because of this, developed trust:

"Yes, yes, yes! That makes so much sense. My son Qin Yun, even now, when someone speaks softly to him, he gets disoriented... I thought it was because I didn’t educate him well; does it have anything to do with this emotional thing?"

Doctor Xiaoguo: ... that’s really just poor education.

It has nothing to do with physical condition.

But she couldn’t say that bluntly, so she just smiled and changed the subject:

"It’s not a big deal, just take a few doses to adjust. Uncle, you’re not working now, right? You seem to be in a good mindset, exercise more, and you’ll adapt over time..."

The old man now loving and pampering his grandchildren, is not the hot-tempered person he used to be; now the trust level is high.

As for other issues like back pain, knee discomfort, dry mouth in the morning, or poor sleep at night...

No problem!

"Moxibustion!"

Doctor Xiaoguo waved her hand, "My place here is simple, shorthanded, I’ll use a clip to fix the moxa stick here over the acupoint for you..."

Looking at the two nurse applicants, Doctor Xiaoguo asked, "Xiaoxiao, Sun Wenwu, which of you two will be responsible for looking after this moxa stick?"

That’s right, one of the nurse applicants is also a male.

Speaking of this, one has to mention Sun Wenwu.

He was unemployed for an unflattering reason; he was persuaded to leave.

As a male nurse, he was quite favored in the hospital’s nursing department; from the head nurse to the junior nurses, everyone liked him.

After all, men are stronger and can help with lifting, saving everyone a lot of trouble.

But some patients just liked to take advantage, and some male patients, during pre-op preparation, insisted on having the young nurses and spoke inappropriately; when he responded poorly, he got complained about...

In short, the job couldn’t continue.

His family felt that as a grown man, only doing nursing work was not dignified and encouraged him to prepare for exams—

Dear Lord!

How many points are needed for the nursing profession? How many for doctors? What about the competition for provincial or national exams?

If he had that kind of learning ability, why didn’t he study medicine for eight years back then?

In short, small clinics had no need for him, and small hospitals required a hefty price for nursing positions. He found a job posting online, packed his things, and came over.

If nothing else, rural clinics always need someone to do some heavy lifting, right?
