Chapter 1274 The Changes Brought About by One Person
In the evening after the free clinic ended, a light drizzle began to fall in Jialin County.
Chen Yang stood under the eaves of the county hospital's outpatient building, watching the crowd gradually thin out in the rain.
Gao Mingxuan walked over with a cup of hot tea and handed it to him: "Are you tired?"
"Fortunately."
Chen Yang took the teacup, the warmth spreading through the cup to his palm: "Seeing so many patients who trust traditional Chinese medicine actually gives me strength."
Gao Mingxuan gazed at the misty mountains in the distance and said slowly, "Chen Yang, do you know how much this place has changed since you left?"
Gao Mingxuan pointed to the newly built traditional Chinese medicine culture wall outside the hospital gate: "It was built with funds from the county. It is engraved with the 'Great Physicians with Sincerity' and illustrations of commonly used local Chinese herbs. Every night, local people come there to look at it, and some parents point to the pictures and teach their children to recognize the herbs."
"besides......"
Gao Mingxuan said with pride, "Our hospital can now send five or six young people to the city or even the province for further training every year."
"Last year, a nurse went to learn traditional Chinese medicine nursing techniques. After returning, she led the department to implement six appropriate traditional Chinese medicine techniques, which increased patient satisfaction by 20 percentage points."
Chen Yang listened quietly, then smiled and said, "Master, all of this is thanks to you."
Gao Mingxuan waved his hand: "I'm just an old Chinese medicine doctor, tending to my little plot of land."
"You are the one who truly brought about change to Jialin County."
Gao Mingxuan smiled and said, "It is your vision and resources that you brought back after going out, your social status, your efforts to make the county pay attention to traditional Chinese medicine, and your efforts to provide more opportunities for doctors in the hospital to advance their careers and learn new skills."
As he spoke, Gao Mingxuan exclaimed, "Chen Yang, you have made people in our small town believe that as long as we work hard, grassroots doctors can also achieve great things."
The rain gradually stopped, and a gap appeared in the clouds to the west, allowing the golden rays of the setting sun to fall on the wet ground.
Gao Mingxuan knew better than anyone that the changes at Jialin County Hospital were all thanks to Chen Yang. Without Chen Yang, Jialin County Hospital would still be the same as before.
The young doctors continue to coast along, the leadership continues to disregard them, and every change comes at a price.
Chen Yang's existence is the root cause of the changes at Jialin County Hospital.
Because of Chen Yang's improved status, because of Chen Yang's sentimentality, and because the leaders of Jialin County know that Chen Yang is sentimental and they care about Chen Yang, they will take care of the county hospital and allocate resources accordingly. The hospital leaders also know that Chen Yang is sentimental, so they are all seeking changes and hoping to gain Chen Yang's attention.
Chen Yang is still young, but he is already a pivotal figure in the medical field and is able to participate in central affairs. Whether it is Jialin County or Shanzhou Province, they have a family connection with Chen Yang and will naturally cherish and value this connection.
Although it has only been three short years, the changes at Jialin County Hospital are remarkable, and the changes in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine are even more dramatic.
Three years ago, when Gao Mingxuan went to the Jiping Town Health Center, he never dreamed that it was because he met a young man there that he was taken back to Jialin County and created a legend in Jialin County.
“People in Qihe Town are joking that you’re where you are today because they have connections,” Gao Mingxuan said to Chen Yang with a smile.
Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh.
Originally, Gao Mingxuan and his group were going to Qihe Town, but Qihe Town was not willing to go, so Gao Mingxuan and his group changed their route and went to Jiping Town instead. There was a reason for that.
"I heard from Liu Jun that Wang Ya married someone in the south. Her husband is a middle school teacher and treats her very well," Gao Mingxuan said in a low voice, glancing at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang nodded: "That's good."
It's really good.
Upon hearing this news, the last lingering resentment in Chen Yang's heart was smoothed out.
The love, hate, and obsession of those youthful years have finally found their own paths.
......
Chen Yang and Gao Mingxuan talked for a while, then Chen Yang turned around and walked into the hall. At this moment, a group of doctors from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine were still consulting with Zhuang Qiwen and others.
Those focused faces gleamed under the lamplight.
It's indeed different.
The next day was another busy day of free clinics, and the doctors from Jialin County showed a strong desire to learn. Zhuang Qiwen and others were quite impressed.
On the morning of the third day, the team prepared to leave Jialin County and head to Fenghai City.
The hospital entrance was crowded with people seeing him off—including hospital colleagues, patients and their families who had received free medical consultations the day before, and ordinary citizens who had come after hearing the news.
The son of the elderly man suffering from postherpetic neuralgia presented a jar of wild honey: "Director Chen, my dad said this morning that it was the first time in three years he had slept through the night! Please accept this!"
The doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department looked at Chen Yang and the others with reluctance on their faces; two days was too short.
As the car slowly drove away, Chen Yang looked back through the car window.
Gao Mingxuan, Zhang Dongyun, Liu Jun, Bai Jinbo... those familiar figures stood at the hospital entrance, waving vigorously.
In the morning light, the words "Jialin County People's Hospital" on the hospital building's rooftop gleamed brightly.
"Teacher Chen,"
Yu Shiyun said softly, "I think I understand now why you always emphasize 'returning to clinical practice and returning to the grassroots level'."
Zhuang Qiwen remarked, "In a place like this, there aren't many barriers between doctors and patients. You can directly feel the value of medical skills and also see your own shortcomings most clearly."
Looking out the window at the fields and villages rushing by, Xia Hongliang said, “I think the biggest gain from this trip is not how many new technologies we have learned, but that we have come to understand where the true vitality of traditional Chinese medicine lies—in the trust of the people, in the need to solve practical problems, and in the down-to-earth inheritance by generations of doctors.”
Chen Yang listened to the insights shared by everyone with a smile on his face.
This was precisely the original intention behind Chen Yang, Chu Yiyun, Wen Xiuping, and others in designing this nationwide trip—to allow these outstanding young doctors to touch the most authentic pulse of medicine before entering high-end platforms.
Kyoto International Medical Center is a top-tier international medical institution that the central government aims to build. With its current technology and reputation, it is bound to become the top medical institution in the country.
Chen Yang, Chu Yiyun, and others did not want the doctors in the institution to be arrogant or prejudiced. As medical staff of a top-tier medical institution, they should have a calm and balanced mindset.
This is similar to what some people online jokingly say about Kyoto Hospital, saying that the nurses there have such high standards that they look down on leaders and nurses from other places.
With the development of Kyoto International Medical Center, its level will definitely be higher than that of Kyoto Hospital in the future, and because it is in line with international standards, it will attract all kinds of patients.
Regardless of the patients they receive or how the international medical center develops, Chen Yang, Chu Yiyun, and others hope that every doctor can understand Sun Simiao's philosophy of "people are the most important."
Most of the participants in this group will be core members of the medical center. Taking them to see the grassroots level and the wider medical system will also help them understand more about the principles involved.
