The legacy of medical practice endures, and the spirit of benevolence remains.
Under the meticulous management of her apprentices, Shen Jifang's clinic, "Cheng'an Hall," continues to enjoy a renowned reputation. Today, "Cheng'an Hall" not only has a main branch in Jiangnan but also branches throughout the country, with apprentices spread far and wide, carrying Shen Jifang's medical skills and benevolence to every corner.
On this day, accompanied by Shen Jiayan and Shen Mingyu, Shen Jifang arrived at the Jiangnan branch of "Cheng'an Hall". Upon entering the clinic, she saw her apprentices busy at work: some were taking patients' pulses and asking questions, some were dispensing medicine, and some were performing acupuncture treatments. The entire clinic was orderly and filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Shen Jifang walked over to one of her apprentices, watched him take a patient's pulse, and asked softly, "What are the patient's symptoms? How is the pulse?"
The apprentice quickly replied, "Master, this patient has a cough caused by a cold, and his pulse is floating and tight. I have already prescribed a formula to dispel wind and cold, and to relieve cough."
Shen Jifang nodded, then personally examined the patient's pulse to confirm that her apprentice's diagnosis and prescription were correct. Only then did she say with satisfaction, "Very good, the diagnosis is accurate, and the prescription is appropriate. But you must remember that the most important thing for a doctor is compassion. Regardless of whether the patient is rich or poor, noble or lowly, you must treat them all equally and do your best to treat them. You must not only cure their illnesses but also soothe their emotions and make them feel warmth and care."
The disciple respectfully said, "Master, your disciple will remember your teachings. Rest assured, we will definitely follow your example, saving lives and helping the world with compassion, and will never let you down."
Shen Jifang then went to the medicine cabinet, checked the quality of the herbs, and instructed, "Medicinal herbs are the foundation of treatment, so you must ensure their quality. Never use inferior herbs to deceive patients. We run this clinic to save lives and heal the wounded, not to seek personal profit. You must keep this in mind."
"Yes, Master!" the disciples replied in unison.
Afterwards, Shen Jifang handed over all the medical books she had compiled over the years, including the manuscript of "Cheng'an Medical Records," to her eldest apprentice at the clinic: "These medical books are the culmination of my life's work and a summary of the medical experience of several generations of the Shen family. You must study them diligently, continuously improve your medical skills, and pass them on so that more people can benefit from them and relieve the suffering of more people."
The eldest apprentice accepted the medical book, his eyes filled with gratitude and determination: "Master, thank you! We will cherish it, study it diligently, and pass on your medical skills and benevolence forever, so that the 'Cheng'an Hall' brand will shine forever!"
Looking at her apprentices, Shen Jifang felt a deep sense of satisfaction. She knew that her medical skills had been passed down, and that belief in "benevolence and compassion" had taken deep root in the hearts of each of them. As long as this benevolence remained, "Cheng'an Hall" would exist forever, and the Shen family's medical spirit would be passed down forever.
