Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 1271 Specialized Traditional Chinese Medicine Departments in Jialin County

"Director Chen is here."

As soon as Chen Yang and his group got out of the car, Gao Mingxuan and his group came to greet them.

"Master, Dean Yu, Director Zhang."

Chen Yang also hurriedly stepped forward and greeted everyone.

Hao Bensheng stood in the crowd, clearly a little embarrassed. Chen Yang greeted everyone else, but not him.

However, Hao Bensheng dared not say anything. Back when Chen Yang was at Jialin County Hospital, he was the only one who had made things difficult for Chen Yang. The fact that Hao Bensheng was still at Jialin County Hospital now only showed that Chen Yang was very magnanimous.

"OK."

Gao Mingxuan was so happy that his eyes were full of smiles, and he called everyone to walk into the hospital together.

Chen Yang was walking beside Gao Mingxuan, and Yu Zhenjiang was on the other side. Everyone was surrounding Gao Mingxuan.

Gao Mingxuan was Chen Yang's first mentor and the most important person in Chen Yang's life. Chen Yang also deeply respected and appreciated Gao Mingxuan.

Although Gao Mingxuan didn't teach Chen Yang much about medicine, it was precisely because of Gao Mingxuan that Chen Yang avoided many detours.

The larger the hospital he went to and the more he came into contact with things, the more Chen Yang understood how lucky he had been back then.

In the medical profession, medical skills are one aspect, and the platform is another. For doctors at the grassroots level, without a good platform, their achievements are destined to be limited.

Take Zhuang Qiwen as an example. Zhuang Qiwen's level is also on the list of national famous doctors, ranking in the top 100 in the country. That's incredibly impressive. He would be considered a top-notch doctor anywhere, a true leader in his field.

However, Zhuang Qiwen could only run a clinic in the county town, and even more trouble came after he offended people.

Even if he doesn't offend anyone, Zhuang Qiwen can live a life of comfort and earn some money with his medical skills. But is that enough for a doctor on the list of famous doctors?

Life is often a matter of taking one step fast and then taking every step fast, or taking one step slow and then taking every step slow.

If Gao Ming hadn't chosen him, Chen Yang would probably have stayed in Jiping Town for a longer time, or he might have had to open his own clinic.

Even though she knew Wen Manlu and Wu Yaolin, it was because of Gao Yingchu, and she knew Gao Yingchu because she cured Gao Yingchu's younger brother's illness in Jialin County.

Life is often quite strange; if you catch up with something, you'll rise to great heights, but if you don't, you'll be much slower.

At that time, Chen Yang had just obtained the system and was just a junior doctor at the Jiping Town Health Center with only a bachelor's degree. Gao Mingxuan was the first benefactor in Chen Yang's life.

Of course, with Chen Yang as his apprentice, Gao Mingxuan is now experiencing a high point in his life.

At the beginning of this year, Gao Mingxuan was elected as the president of the Jialin County Traditional Chinese Medicine Association and also became a director of the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. In Jialin County, Gao Mingxuan's status is unmatched.

"Dr. Chen is back?"

"Holy crap, it's Dr. Chen?"

The entire hospital was in an uproar upon learning of Chen Yang's arrival.

There are only a handful of people at Jialin County Hospital who are truly close to Chen Yang, but now Chen Yang is definitely the pride of Jialin County Hospital. Many doctors and nurses are very proud to learn that Chen Yang has arrived.

Originally, Jialin County Hospital was just an ordinary county-level hospital in Fenghai City, but now it is quite famous among county-level hospitals in Fenghai City and even the entire Shanzhou Province.

"Our Traditional Chinese Medicine department now has more than 30 people."

As they walked, Gao Mingxuan said to Chen Yang, "Although you and Li Haofei have left, Yang Xiaohui, Sun Jiamu, Bai Jinbo, and others have made rapid progress. From last year to this year, our department has even welcomed several master's degree graduates..."

"A county-level hospital has more than 30 people in its TCM department?" Zhuang Qiwen was also surprised.

Chen Yang was quite surprised.

You should know that when he first arrived at Jialin County Hospital, the entire hospital only had thirty or forty licensed physicians, but now the TCM department alone has more than thirty.

"Our hospital has also established a dedicated hepatobiliary surgery department, which is already capable of performing some hepatobiliary surgeries," Yu Zhenjiang said with a smile.

Previously, Jialin County Hospital lacked resources and connections, but now, it receives annual training slots from Fenghai Central Hospital and the Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University.

These are also the current advantages and resources for Jialin County Hospital to become stronger.

Some doctors or highly educated graduates who cannot get into top-tier hospitals choose Jialin County Hospital as their first choice, mainly because of the training opportunities offered there.

Because of Chen Yang, if Jialin County Hospital has any real talent, it has connections to send people to Kyoto for further training. This is truly a case of one person bringing prosperity to an entire hospital.

"Chen Yang!"

As a group of people were talking, Bai Jinbo strode over.

"I was busy just now, but when I knew you were here, I rushed over to see you." Bai Jinbo was clearly a little reserved when facing Chen Yang.

"Dr. Bai is now the deputy chief physician of our Traditional Chinese Medicine department, the deputy director of the department," Zhang Dongyun said to Chen Yang with a smile.

"I also want to thank Director Chen."

Bai Jinbo said, "If I hadn't gone to Fenghai Central Hospital and the Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University for further studies, how could I have learned so much?"

"That's because Brother Bai worked hard enough," Chen Yang said with a smile.

As he spoke, Chen Yang said to everyone, "You can all take a look around and have a tour. This afternoon, the hospital will arrange a free clinic."

Jialin County Hospital is, after all, a county-level hospital, and this time Chen Yang's group consisted of fifteen or sixteen people, which was quite a large number.

"I'll arrange this," Hao Bensheng said hurriedly.

“Every time Director Chen comes, he brings tangible benefits to Jialin County.”

Yu Zhenjiang said with a smile, "Now that people in Jialin County have heard that Director Chen has come, they are all genuinely happy."

Since Chen Yang left, he has indeed done a lot of practical things for Jialin County Hospital. This free clinic is the second one.

The size of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at Jialin County Hospital surprised everyone.

The group arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, where the consultation rooms had expanded from the original three rooms to an entire floor, and there were also separate acupuncture treatment rooms, massage rooms, Chinese herbal fumigation rooms, and rehabilitation training areas.

"These were all expanded last year."

Gao Mingxuan led the group on a tour, his face full of pride: "The county has allocated special funds to create a 'model department for grassroots traditional Chinese medicine in the mountainous region.' Now our department sees more than 200 outpatients every day, and the inpatient department has 40 beds, which are often full."

Xia Hongliang walked curiously into the acupuncture treatment room, where ten treatment beds were neatly arranged and several patients were receiving treatment.

The walls are covered with meridian charts and various acupuncture precautions, and the environment is clean and tidy.

"These conditions are better than many city hospitals," Zeng Yunhui exclaimed.

"The main reason is the high demand."

Zhang Dongyun explained, "Jialin County is located in a mountainous area, and the local people believe in traditional Chinese medicine, especially those with chronic diseases, geriatric diseases, and rheumatic bone pain. They all like to come to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. In addition, after Director Chen's reputation spread, patients from several surrounding counties also came to him."

Yu Shiyun noticed that an old doctor was giving acupuncture to a patient in the treatment room. His technique was skillful and steady, and although the needle sensation was strong, the movements were gentle. The patient's expression was relaxed.

The elderly doctor, about sixty years old, with gray hair and wearing reading glasses, was performing warm acupuncture on a patient with knee pain. The moxa cone burned slowly on the needle handle, and the heat was conducted deep into the body of the needle.

"Sir, your technique is truly steady," Yu Shiyun exclaimed sincerely.

The old doctor looked up, glanced at Yu Shiyun through his reading glasses, then looked at Chen Yang behind her, his eyes lighting up: "Chen Yang? You're back?"

"Teacher Liu!" Chen Yang stepped forward quickly, his face filled with surprise.

Chen Yang was surprised that the county hospital had also brought Liu Jun over. Liu Jun could be considered Chen Yang's mentor.

Liu Jun's skill level isn't actually that high, but he can handle minor illnesses at a township hospital. He can also perform basic acupuncture, after all, he's had a solid foundation and his hands are very steady.
