The Dongjiang Province Expo has been held for several sessions and has a dedicated exhibition area.

Early in the morning, Yun Heng and others took a special bus to the exhibition area. There were special booths in the exhibition area, like small shops, and the booths all displayed the special features of various pharmaceutical companies.

There are pure Chinese medicinal materials, pure Chinese medicine preparations that have been developed, and special ointments.

This was Yun Heng's first time attending such an expo and seeing so many medicines and medicinal materials.

Yun Heng actually learned more about pharmacology in the simulation space. Although there were many medicines in the hospital, it was impossible for Yun Heng to check the herbs in the pharmacy every day. He just wanted to understand the medicinal properties of the herbs and then determine the dosage based on the medicinal properties. This was his first visit like this.

There are many booths at the expo, selling all kinds of medicines.

"This is Coptis chinensis, authentic Sichuan Coptis chinensis."

Yun Heng walked to a booth and the staff in front of the booth introduced Yun Heng and Michelle Lin.

Yun Heng is a Chinese medicine practitioner, so he knows very well that when it comes to Coptis chinensis, the best one must be the one from Sichuan, which has the best medicinal effect. However, it is rare to see authentic Sichuan Coptis chinensis on the market.

"Does Dongjiang Province also have authentic Sichuan Coptis chinensis?"

Yun Heng asked.

"Yes, actually, here at the expo, there are medicinal herbs from many places, not just from Dongjiang Province."

"This quality of Coptis chinensis is indeed good."

Yun Heng checked the appearance of the Coptis chinensis and found that it was indeed authentic Sichuan Coptis chinensis.

"Nowadays, authentic Sichuan Coptis chinensis is basically exported to Country R and is rarely found in China."

Xiaoxiao said from the side.

"exit?"

Yun Heng turned around and asked Xiaoxiao.

"Um."

Xiaoxiao said, "It's not just Coptis chinensis, it's the same with other herbs. Authentic wild herbs are prioritized for export. Herbs used domestically are relatively inferior in quality. Not only are they mostly cultivated, but the preparation methods are also vastly inferior."

Xiaoxiao is now in charge of Yunmi Chinese Medicinal Materials Planting and Sales Co., Ltd., so Xiaoxiao is very clear about this area.

"Good products are exported first, while bad ones are kept in China. Most doctors still use drugs based on the pharmacopoeia in actual clinical practice, and the dosage is mechanically copied from the medical book. As a result, the drugs are ineffective and the original dosage cannot be used at all. This is one of the reasons why some Chinese medicines are ineffective now."

Ma Tiequan said.

“It’s more than that.”

Yue Anyun said, "Yun Heng said the day before yesterday that Chinese medicine uses the bias of Chinese medicinal materials to treat diseases, and this bias is also closely related to the growth environment of Chinese medicinal materials. Wild Chinese medicinal materials are divided into warm, cool, cold, and hot according to their place of origin. But now, with artificial cultivation, Chinese medicinal materials are growing vigorously, but the bias of some medicines has actually changed. Even the same medicinal material has changed its efficacy."

Yun Heng actually doesn't know much about this area. Yun Heng has been working in Xiya Hospital. Before, Yun Heng's level was not enough, so later he used Yunmi's medicinal materials. Yunmi has several Chinese medicinal materials planting bases in Qinling Mountains, and the quality of the medicinal materials from Mi Shilin is also good.

Yun Heng doesn't know much about the Chinese medicinal materials market.

After hearing what Xiaoxiao, Ma Tiequan and others said, Yun Heng finally understood the dilemma that traditional Chinese medicine was facing.

While Yun Heng and others were talking, medical representatives from Country R and Country H were already touring the expo.

At present, the greatest value of Chinese medicinal materials is actually their economic value. Exporting good medicinal materials is the general trend. In fact, it is not just Chinese medicinal materials, but also the same in other aspects. Good things are exported first, and domestic products are inferior. Many things are divided into different grades. Outsiders use the good ones, and our own people use the bad ones. Our own people will not deceive our own people.

In foreign countries, good things are first supplied to their own people, and inferior things are exported. These two different policies have resulted in the situation where good things are always abroad and inferior things are always at home.

"In addition to Chinese medicinal materials, the employment of Chinese medicine practitioners is also one of the main factors leading to the shortage of good Chinese medicine practitioners."

Fang Zhiyan said, "Traditional Chinese Medicine is of great value, but the value created by practitioners themselves is very small. If a doctor doesn't issue test orders or perform examinations, and simply charges registration fees, he or she will not be welcomed by the hospital, and will not receive much bonus or commission."

Yun Heng opened his mouth.

After listening to Fang Zhiyan's words, Yun Heng suddenly realized how smooth his journey had been.

Although the West Asia Health Hospital is small, it is precisely because of its small size that there are not so many bad things. Qi Yaping initially did not have much hope for the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but had no requirements for Yun Heng.

Later, with the support of Liang Wanming, Ma Tiequan, Qu Tongwen and others, the value created by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at West Asia Hospital became unimportant.

Moreover, it is a small hospital, there are no major surgeries and no critically ill patients. West Asia Community Hospital originally did not have registration fees. After the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine brought in a large number of patients, it actually brought income to the hospital.

But in larger hospitals, it’s different.

Ma Tiequan is the head of the department at Xihua Hospital, and he is very clear about this.

To a certain extent, the reason why the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Xihua Hospital is not so pure is not something that Ma Tiequan can control alone. The situation of cumbersome prescriptions like Hong Shuangmin is common in many hospitals.

The reason why Ma Tiequan supports Yun Heng and Xiya Hospital so much is actually because he can empathize with them. In Xihua Hospital, even if Ma Tiequan is the director of the department and even if Ma Tiequan has a ninth-level internal medicine level, it is not enough to change the overall status of the department.

When the general environment is like this, when the leader cannot bring benefits to his subordinates, the leader loses his authority. The department cannot generate income, and the overall income of the department is low. How can you expect the doctors under you to respect you?

A doctor is first a person, and only secondarily a doctor. He must first maintain his own life and find ways to increase his income, and then he can stop asking for money from others. If he himself lives in financial difficulty, how can he stop asking for money from others?

In a big hospital, there are many departments, and when there is comparison, people’s hearts are never satisfied.

Before the establishment of West Asia Hospital, doctors generally had low incomes. However, with the rise of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, everyone's income increased, the number of patients in the hospital increased, and it was expected to become a Class III hospital from a community hospital. This was the reason why there was no obstruction, and everyone was full of energy and worked hard.

Several young doctors in West Asia Hospital, such as Yun Heng, Yue Shaojiang, Jin Shijie, Xu Bo, etc., are the pillars of the department and they are not short of money, which can ensure the authenticity of the hospital.

To some extent, Xiya Hospital is actually not replicable. There are too many coincidences that have led to Xiya Hospital reaching this point today. It is even impossible for others to imitate it.
