Chapter 588: The Iron Rice Bowl
The following day, Bai Zhi rode her motorcycle to the hospital.
She has now achieved freedom of movement, so she no longer needs to get up early to wait for a driver to pick her up, as she did a few days ago. She only sets off from home by bike around 8 a.m. when the weather is a little warmer.
After all, she had no other job and was only responsible for treating Officer Sun, so it didn't matter if it was a little late.
When she arrived at Officer Sun's ward at nine o'clock today, Dean Liu was also there.
Of course, the two elders of the Sun family also stayed by their son's side throughout.
At this moment, Dean Liu was asking Shen Qian and Dr. Li, who were accompanying him, about Officer Sun's condition.
When Dean Liu saw Bai Zhi coming over, he greeted her with a smile.
"Dean Liu, you've come too?"
Dean Liu replied, "I came to visit Comrade Sun Cheng and check on his treatment."
"Dean Liu, Dr. Xiaobai's medical skills are superb. She saved my son's life. Without her, the situation would be unimaginable now."
Old Sun showered Bai Zhi with praise.
They were truly grateful to Angelica dahurica.
Of course, I was also very lucky that I didn't impulsively transfer to another hospital that day.
Although Bai Zhi was not a formal employee of their hospital, the high praise that Elder Sun gave Bai Zhi made Dean Liu feel proud, since he was the one who invited Bai Zhi.
"Grandpa Sun, you flatter me."
“Child, don’t be modest. I’m not exaggerating at all. You saved Lu Ye’s life, and now you’ve saved my Sun Cheng’s life too. Our family is truly grateful to you.”
Grandpa Sun added with a smile, "I spoke with your grandfather on the phone last night. He was very happy to hear that Song Cheng's condition had improved. He said that their family must have accumulated a lot of good karma to have married a granddaughter-in-law like you. Haha."
Upon hearing what Elder Sun said, Dean Liu's gaze swept across Elder Sun and Bai Zhi's faces.
Judging from Old Master Sun's tone, he and the Lu family were old acquaintances, and quite well-acquainted at that.
Bai Zhi didn't want to keep listening to their compliments and praises.
She glanced at her watch and said, "Then let's begin treating Officer Sun now."
"Alright, alright, let's begin the treatment." Old Sun quickly stepped aside.
Sun Cheng slowly got out of bed.
Although the ward is spacious, having so many people standing in it can still affect a doctor's ability to perform their duties.
But Dean Liu doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
Bai Zhi ignored them and began to give Sun Cheng acupuncture treatment.
If they want to observe, of course they can.
After inserting the needles, she took a chair and sat down to wait for the treatment to continue.
During the patient's treatment, she was highly focused and did not chat with anyone.
No one else dared to disturb her.
Dean Liu left at some point.
After the acupuncture treatment, Bai Zhi said to Sun Cheng, "Please rest for a while. We will start the moxibustion in half an hour."
Sun Cheng was helped to lie down by the caregiver.
Bai Zhi also planned to go out for some fresh air.
Previously, when his cousin was hospitalized, he would visit him in his spare time. Now that Ye Qingbai has been discharged, she packed up her medicine and planned to go to the doctor's office with Shen Qian to wash her hands and prepare the moxibustion medicine sticks.
As soon as the two left the ward, Dean Liu followed and called out to her, "Dr. Xiaobai, come to my office after you finish treating Comrade Sun."
Bai Zhi hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, "Okay, Dean Liu."
The two entered the office, and Shen Qian asked in a low voice, "What does Dean Liu want with you?"
Bai Zhi shrugged. "I don't know. I'll find out when I get there."
"Could it be that Dean Liu still wants to keep you in the hospital?" Shen Qian began to speculate.
Bai Zhi remained calm. "That's also possible."
It's not just a possibility, it's a certainty.
"So what do you really think? Actually, you should consider staying at the hospital and becoming a full-fledged employee. It might not be a bad thing. It's a secure job, very stable."
In addition, as a doctor in a military hospital, the treatment and benefits are quite good.
Shen Qian felt that as a woman, Bai Zhi already had a family and would definitely have children in the future, so she had to set aside some energy to take care of her family.
In fact, given Bai Zhi's medical skills and the hospital's high regard for her, staying at the hospital wouldn't be too tiring. After all, she's only needed to help patients in special circumstances. To put it bluntly, she's usually just a figurehead, or the hospital might ask her to continue doing research.
Given her expertise in traditional Chinese medicine, she could certainly make demands of the hospital.
This kind of easy and respectable job is perfect for her.
But since she runs a clinic outside, she has to take charge of everything herself.
It's definitely not as easy as working in a hospital.
The key point is that she opened a clinic in this small county town, and she's a young woman from out of town.
Whether the public will accept this is another matter.
It will definitely be difficult at first.
Meeting Shen Qian's expectant gaze, Bai Zhi casually replied, "I haven't attended a proper medical school either, so it's not appropriate for me to stay here."
"If Dean Liu thinks it's suitable, that's fine. Your medical skills speak for themselves. In terms of antidotes, no other doctor in the entire hospital can match your skills. What the leadership values is your ability, not your academic qualifications."
"I know what I'm doing."
Bai Zhi didn't want to continue the topic and poured herself a glass of water.
"Take a break, then we'll go for moxibustion."
Bai Zhi was unwilling to continue the conversation, so Shen Qian had no choice but to give up.
Actually, she wanted Bai Zhi to stay, and deep down she also had a little selfish motive.
She really hopes that Bai Zhi can establish another research and development team in the hospital in the future to delve into their previous research.
Bai Zhi took out the prepared moxibustion sticks from the medicine box and said to Shen Qian, "Dr. Shen, let's perform moxibustion on the patient together in a bit; it'll be more efficient that way."
"Can I?" Shen Qian asked hesitantly, pointing to herself.
Bai Zhi looked at her and said confidently, "Of course you can. We're using the same moxibustion sticks. You just need to pay attention to the distance between the moxibustion sticks and the moxibustion."
With Bai Zhi's affirmation, Shen Qian immediately gained confidence and began to eagerly try.
Having studied under Bai Zhi for so long, she still possesses some skill in moxibustion for this patient.
Bai Zhi handed her the moxibustion strips from the box, saying, "Take the moxibustion strips and let's go."
