Chapter 64 Barefoot Doctors (1/2)



"Uncle Liu, tell me the truth, how good is Dr. Chen's medical skills?" Song Yun asked.

Captain Liu's face was full of confusion. "To be honest, Doctor Chen's medical skills are really average. She's unsure about many diseases. At the beginning, everyone in our village trusted her. If we had any headaches or fevers, we would go to her for treatment. But as time went by, we found that Doctor Chen was very perfunctory in her treatment. Sometimes she didn't even bother to take the temperature of patients with fever and just prescribed antipyretics. Several times, it almost caused trouble. Later, everyone was unwilling to go to the health station and would rather go the extra mile to the town health center. There are not many people going to her health station all day long. If it weren't for her father being the deputy secretary—"

Captain Liu didn't continue with the rest of the sentence.

Those who understand will understand.

If the situation wasn't urgent today and there wasn't really any other way, they wouldn't have sent people here.

Song Yun recounted everything that had just happened at the health center. Of course, the focus was on the fact that Dr. Chen threatened her that she did not have the qualifications to practice medicine.

Captain Liu's face darkened upon hearing this. "Song Zhiqing, don't worry about this. We haven't violated any rules or laws, so she has no reason to do anything bad. But she dared to use Deputy Secretary Chen's influence to do something bad. I, the captain, am not just there to do nothing. There's more than one Deputy Secretary Chen in the community, and he doesn't have the power to cover up everything."

Song Yun smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'm relieved."

Having said that, Captain Liu recalled something.

"Song Zhiqing, have you ever thought about taking the exam to get a barefoot doctor's license?"

Captain Liu's words made Song Yun's eyes light up. "How do I get a barefoot doctor's license?"

Captain Liu was quite knowledgeable about this. "When we get to the town health center, after I've taken care of your Aunt Qian's business, I'll take you to see someone who specializes in training, assessing, and certifying barefoot doctors. With your situation, you don't need any training at all. Just let him assess you directly. As long as you pass the assessment, you can get your certificate today."

Song Yun was very happy that the trip was not in vain.

"Uncle Liu, if I get the qualification certificate of a barefoot doctor, do I still need to go to work?" Song Yun asked the question that concerned her most.

Captain Liu: "According to regulations, barefoot doctors cannot leave their jobs. They must participate in production labor with the members. They can only practice medicine when they are free or in emergencies, and they do not receive any salary." Captain Liu's voice became lower and lower, and he felt a little guilty.

Song Yun's heart immediately sank. She thought to herself, no wonder there were no barefoot doctors in the village. There was no benefit at all. Whoever wanted to could do it.

Seeing Song Yun's expression fade, as if she had lost interest in becoming a barefoot doctor, he felt a little anxious and hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Rules are fixed, but people are alive. Doctors need medicine to treat illnesses, right? You have to work every day, so how can you find time to collect herbs? How about this, as long as you get the barefoot doctor's certificate, I will allow you to skip work and just collect herbs and make medicine for the villagers every day. I'll give you full work points. How do you think?"

Song Yun shook her head, "Not very good."

Is she stupid? Once she accepts Uncle Liu's condition, she will have to stay at home all day to serve the villagers. She will either be collecting herbs and making medicine, or taking pulses and giving acupuncture. Will she have time to do other things?

It would be better to maintain the status quo.
