I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 386 - 162: Swollen Qi, Self-Created Suidou Pill Formula

"Are you saying we should make the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital independent and set up a secondary Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital?"

Ma Shanjun thought he might have heard wrong and couldn’t help but confirm with Yi Gang again.

"Yes."

Yi Gang explained, "If we only upgrade on the basis of the Health Center, we would be underestimating their potential. Since we’re doing this, we should do it to the fullest, by separating the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department from the Health Center and establishing a secondary Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, with Dr. Lu as the director."

Ma Shanjun took a deep breath: "Mr. Yi, isn’t this too big of a leap."

"Separating the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department to establish a Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is nothing, but having Dr. Lu as the director, this..."

Ma Shanjun hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let me put it this way, Dr. Lu graduated less than a year ago. His qualifications not only don’t meet the requirements for a director, but not a single one of them fits. We might think he’s qualified, but others might not!"

"Old Ma, do you think I didn’t consider this issue?"

Yi Gang asked back, smiling, "Yes, indeed, Dr. Lu doesn’t yet meet the requirements for a director, but we can take a step back, can’t we? Acting director is still possible, and once Dr. Lu meets the requirements, he can be officially appointed. It’s that simple."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s talk about how to separate the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department and address the staffing issues."

"Mr. Yi, setting up a Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital requires quite a bit of funding." Ma Shanjun thought and said.

Yi Gang waved his hand, "Money is not a problem, as long as our plan is approved and they give the nod, funds will naturally follow. The most crucial and core issue is staffing—how many people we need, how many qualified doctors, how many attending physicians, how many chief physicians, and how many nurses—we must discuss these thoroughly so that the plan can be well-prepared and submitted. As for other issues, we need not worry; they will naturally coordinate."

"Mr. Yi, you have a clear vision; I was just overthinking." Ma Shanjun couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. He had underestimated Ji Huan’s influence when he mentioned this issue.

"Old Ma, just stop flattering me and finalize this plan soon. Form it into a document, and I can report it to them." Yi Gang said bluntly.

Ma Shanjun stood up with a smile, "Rest assured, Mr. Yi. I’ll have the plan delivered to your office within a week."

"If someone else said it, I’d think they were bragging, but since it’s you, Ma Shanjun, I take it seriously."

Yi Gang laughed, "Alright, I’ll give you a week."

Hu Meiqiao, although silent on the side, was rolling her eyes. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A week—besides rushing the plan, she wouldn’t have time for anything else in the coming days.

However, once this plan is approved, it’s the best choice for Lu Xuan. In the future, he would have the greatest freedom in the hospital. With the Health Center and the newly established Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital being together, sharing the same plaque, the Health Center would also benefit. But once this plan is approved, her position might need to be adjusted.

With this thought, Hu Meiqiao was full of motivation, eager to go back and start drafting the plan immediately.

Fortunately, after discussing some details, Yi Gang didn’t say much more and let the two go back to discuss independently, striving to finalize the plan within a week.

...

United South Chinese Medicine Association.

Afternoon.

As Lu Xuan anticipated, several more people came in the afternoon to book appointments at the United South Chinese Medicine Association. However, they were all old acquaintances who had previously sought him out at the Health Center. Other than needing to take their pulse, the prescriptions were just modifications of last week’s and didn’t take too long.

Once the patients left, Room 249 returned to its quiet state.

Especially when compared to other consultation rooms, it wasn’t just quiet—it was desolate.

Lu Xuan glanced at the computer, noticed there were no more patients in line, and without much thought, laid his head on the desk for a rest.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xuan suddenly heard someone calling his name. He raised his head and saw Gu Huahua standing in the doorway.

"Gu Huahua, did you call me?"

"Yes, a patient has come to see Elder Zhang and would like you to take a look as well. Elder Zhang is unsure and doesn’t want the patient to waste time and effort, so he thought it would be more reassuring if you took a look."

"What’s the situation?"

Lu Xuan quickly got up, tidying his somewhat wrinkled white coat from resting on the desk, and went to the door, looking at Gu Huahua, "Let’s go, you can tell me on the way."

Gu Huahua nodded, and for Lu Xuan, he now had no trace of jealousy, only gratitude in his eyes.

It was due to being a classmate of Lu Xuan that the elder treated him with special attention, allowing him one or two chances to try his hand each day. This was far better than staying at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Moreover, the most crucial part was that every time he had the opportunity to try his skills, the elder would explain the patient’s situation in detail.

Gu Huahua fully understood that he had this privilege not because of himself, but entirely because of Lu Xuan.

His respect for Lu Xuan grew ever deeper.

The two of them then proceeded to Consultation Room 215.

When Zhang Jingcai saw Lu Xuan enter, he warmly greeted him: "Ah, Lu, come on in, sit down."

Lu Xuan took a seat next to Zhang Jingcai.

Zhang Jingcai smiled and said, "I thought you weren’t coming today."
