Everything in the newly established department is new.

This includes office desks and chairs, cabinets, and hospital beds, etc.

However, the ward is currently empty, and there are no inpatients yet.

There wasn't much to do on my first day at work; it was just a chance to get familiar with the environment.

The next day, the appointment of the morning meeting director was announced, and it was indeed Qin Bing.

Qin Bing smiled and said a few words, asking for everyone's support in his work. He also expressed his desire to be a good parent to the students in this department. He thanked everyone for their cooperation and support, etc.

Actually, there were only three doctors who could see patients in the outpatient clinic before, plus two newly graduated doctors. The hospital felt that they were still lacking.

Now that Song Yan has arrived, there can be four doctors making house calls.

Two junior doctors accompany them on their rounds every day, learning as much as possible and striving to be able to work independently as soon as possible.

Song Yan had no objection to this.

To be honest, people don't really believe the rumors about Dr. Song Yan's medical skills.

Song Yan looks too young.

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, doctors of Song Yan's age are not popular; people are used to older, more experienced TCM doctors.

The newly graduated male doctor, wearing glasses and looking scholarly, seemed more like a qualified doctor than Song Yan.

Today, the doctor assigned by the director to see patients at the outpatient clinic is Song Yan.

The morning meeting was short and concise. The newly appointed Director Qin was going to the outpatient department with Song Yan. He was also accompanied by two junior doctors.

Qin Bing followed along, partly because Song Yan didn't know the place, and partly because he wanted to see Song Yan's medical skills.

The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was established recently and has few patients. Qin Bing didn't want his department to become a laughing stock so soon after he became the director.

Upon arriving at the outpatient department, Qin Bing led Song Yan to their traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Song Yan: "How many patients do we usually have each day?"

The Qin soldiers were somewhat embarrassed when this was brought up.

The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine had just been established, and these doctors were not well-known.

Moreover, many people are unaware that their hospital now has a Traditional Chinese Medicine department.

So seeing three to five patients a day is considered a lot; often, there are none at all in a day.

Song Yan understood, which is why their TCM ward had no inpatients at all.

If there are no patients, they can chat first.

Qin Bing brought up his professional knowledge intentionally or unintentionally, and Song Yan knew that he was trying to test him.

Song Yan understood perfectly; in terms of academic qualifications, he and the two recent graduates were on par. Neither the hospital nor Qin Bing dared to let them directly treat patients.

As for Song Yan, Vice President Qiao arranged for her to go on house calls immediately.

The Qin soldiers were uneasy, fearing something might happen.

Qin Bing's actions are completely understandable, and they demonstrate his dedication and prudence. He is responsible to himself, his department, and his patients.

Song Yan followed up on his topic and started chatting.

Song Yan answered fluently on simple topics related to traditional Chinese medicine theory.

To test Song Yan's abilities, Qin Bing had to delve into deeper questions.

The two men got along very well, while the two junior doctors beside them couldn't keep up. This was because their discussion of theoretical knowledge and actual symptoms was too in-depth.

Because it was a consultation room, the door was open. A young nurse reached out and knocked on the door, and everyone turned to look.

"Is Dr. Song Yan here?" the nurse asked politely.

Song Yan felt the nurse looked familiar. "Yes, it's me!"

"Hello, Dr. Song!"

"This is Vice President Qiao's consultation form. He requests your consultation!" The nurse handed her the consultation form.

Before Song Yan could speak, Qin Bing asked first, "We practice internal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Your orthopedic surgery department wants to consult with us?"

Nurse: "It's because an elderly colleague's old injury flared up. Vice President Qiao said to have Dr. Song take a look, maybe she can help."

The consultation request has already been made. Regardless of whether he is the hospital director or not, you should go if you have been invited.

Song Yan: "Okay, I'll go take a look!"

Qin Bing: "I'll go with you to take a look!"

Two young doctors also wanted to go.

They simply closed the outpatient clinic and left.

The surgical specialist's office is upstairs.

"Director Qin is here too. Please take a look at this film!" Vice Dean Qiao politely handed over a film.

In terms of age, Qin Bing is a senior, and in terms of position, he is a leader.

Song Yan definitely can't accept film roles right away.

Qin Bing, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, had also heard about Song Yan. He'd just heard her speak with a very comprehensive and well-developed theoretical framework.

We have a patient now, so it's a good opportunity to give her a try.

If she can manage, she can make house calls independently; if not, she can study diligently like the two recent graduates.

So Qin Bing gestured for Song Yan to take the film.

Song Yan could tell that Qin Bing wanted her to see the patient.

Song Yan took the film over.

It's an X-ray of the lumbar spine, and the X-ray shows that the patient has scoliosis.

Moreover, one of the lumbar vertebrae is deformed.

Vice President Qiao: "This elderly gentleman is the patient."

He had been hit in the waist by shrapnel, which was removed at a field hospital.

After his injury healed, although he often experienced back pain, he could manage it. As he got older, the pain in his back became more severe.

When the season gets cold, the pain keeps me awake at night.

As a result, he twisted his ankle the day before yesterday, and it got worse.

It was a soft tissue strain that aggravated an old injury.

In this situation, we administer painkillers, then apply a cold compress to the affected area first, followed by a warm compress. There are no other effective methods.

So I wanted you all to come and see!

Song Yan: "Old comrade, can you lie down on the examination bed?"

“My grandfather is hard of hearing, he can’t hear anything, but he can. I’ll help him lie down,” said a young man standing next to the old man.
