Chapter 67: Work
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It had to be said that Liang Yi’s love for his sister was enough to be described as a ‘Sister Doting Maniac’ by modern people.
While Liu Shimei was recuperating, he thought of ways to bring her delicious food. He was also afraid that she would be bored, so he found her a lot of fun and beautiful things.
He might have some doubts if Liu Shimei asked him to cover for her, but as long as Liu Shimei insisted, he would definitely help.
After getting Liang Yi’s agreement, Liu Shimei changed out of the gorgeous clothes that the Liang family had prepared for her. After some facial modifications, she kept her female clothes and went to the Zheng Medicine Hall.
She was Du Gong’s apprentice, but she was not the only apprentice under Du Gong. There was also a pair of siblings. The elder brother was called Jin Xi, and the younger sister was called Jin Tao. The two of them were formal disciples who had Du Gond as their Master before.
In addition, Du Gong still had many handymen under him.
Whether it was in modern times or ancient times, the laws of the workplace existed. As a newbie, although Liu Shimei was an apprentice in name, she was actually treated as a servant.
She did not think there was anything wrong with it. She had originally been an apprentice in the Zheng Medicine Hall to learn more about the medical system of this era and medical methods. She did not really want to learn medicine from a Master.
In other words, what she lacked was not medical skills, but management skills!
After she had mastered the business experience, she would eventually have to set up her own business.
Being ordered to run errands was better for her. She had more time to do a comprehensive understanding, so she did not complain at all. She silently and diligently ran around the Zheng Medicine Hall.
The National Medical Hall was state-owned, while the Zheng Medicine Hall was privately owned. The two medical halls were quite compet.i.tive. Of course, just because the National Medical Hall had the backing of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, and the Zheng Medicine Hall could not beat them, it did not mean that their standards were bad.
There were a total of nine doctors in this medical hall. There was almost no specialization in Chinese medicine. Basically, they were all mixed up.
Many but not specialized, miscellaneous but not refined. This was an unchanging principle. Therefore, even though the Zheng Medicine Hall was considered to be filled with talents, the standards of these physicians were far inferior to those Liu Shimei had seen.
She used to specialize in Western medicine. She liked to study pharmacology and toxicity, so she came into contact with Chinese medicine in order to compare Western medicine with Chinese medicine. Therefore, she needed to consolidate the knowledge she had learned. She would definitely not be inferior to these masters!
Especially since she had strong experience in Western surgery. Also…
Gynaecology!
Compared to surgery, the ancient gynecology department lacked talents even more!
With such considerations, Liu Shimei had basically decided on her future main direction.
She was planning to open a gynecology clinic after she got a bit of fame. Then, it would slowly be driven by gynecology to develop internal medicine and surgery.
She could not rush to start something from nothing, so Liu Shimei still obediently worked in the Zheng Medicine Hall for now.
Just as she was about to slack off, Jin Tao’s voice sounded, “Zhi Liu, Doctor Du wants you to check on the vomiting patient!”
Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow.
Du Gong had just received a patient with food poisoning. He had severe vomiting and diarrhea. Anyone who was a few meters away from him would faint from the stench. He was currently in the emergency room.
This task was given to Jin Tao, but she found it dirty and smelly, so she threw the job to Liu Shimei!
As a doctor, Liu Shimei knew that she could not be afraid of dirt. Of course, she would not mind. However, Jin Tao’s actions made her very unhappy!
However, she did not show any expression on her face and agreed. “Alright, 1’11 go now.”
Liu Shimei did not bother to argue with Jin Tao, who would cut off her own path sooner or later. She was just making things difficult for her at work.
Her bottom line was: Do not hurt me!
She could tolerate everything else.
Because there were patients with vomiting and diarrhea, almost everyone avoided the emergency beds.
As soon as Liu Shimei entered the door, he smelled a foul odor.
She put on the mask that she had asked Mo’er to sew for her at the last minute. After entering the house, she first opened the windows on all four sides for ventilation.
This patient came alone. There was no one around to take care of him.
He was about 35 years old and looked very tall and strong.
When she got closer, his facial features were quite good, and his figure was also quite good..
