After Chen Xia returned to the hospital, he reported the investigation team's inquiries to President Gu and Secretary Zhang, and told them the whole story.
There were only three of them in the office, so Dean Gu told the truth.
"Chen Xia, I don't think it's a good idea to keep going like this. You didn't get caught this time, but what will you do in the future? If you walk too much at night, you'll always run into ghosts. One day, you'll run into a gun."
Secretary Zhang also nodded. "Your uncle Gu and I know you're dealing in drugs, and the source of the drugs can't withstand scrutiny. Are you determined to continue selling drugs in secret? I think you should just focus on your work and wait until the policies become more open."
Letting Chen Xia live a peaceful life with a monthly salary of 57 yuan would be a disgrace to a reborn person.
According to the plot, the reborn people must go further and further on the road to death, and the more severe the suffering, the more normal it is.
"Uncle Gu, Uncle Zhang, I know you have good intentions, but personally, since I have the ability to bring advanced foreign medicines here so that the sick people can have medicine to treat them, then there is no way I can't do it. Besides, I have three siblings to support at home, so I really can't give up."
Secretary Zhang was in a dilemma. "Then we have to find a way to give you a legal identity."
Chen Xia had already thought about it. At worst, he could just exploit loopholes in the policy.
"I have an idea. Barefoot doctors are now available in both urban and rural areas. I want to open a health care center in Shangsitou Village, where the plum garden is located. I will be the only doctor there. I can work during the day and continue to serve the people at night."
Dean Gu asked doubtfully, "You mean, you're using the village health care center as a pretext to treat patients and sell medicine at the same time?"
"Yes, I've inquired about it. As long as the commune and the village agree, a village health care station can be established and a case file can be filed with the Health Bureau. I already have a medical license and a secondary school diploma, so the qualifications are absolutely no problem.
They have no certificates or diplomas, and they're just farmers who've received a few days of training at the commune. Aren't they still treating patients? Besides, the small second floor in my backyard is empty, and I have the space. The key point is that no matter how much money the village health care center makes, it all belongs to the barefoot doctors themselves.
There's no mandatory requirement for barefoot doctors to source their medicine from any particular pharmaceutical company; they're free to source their own medicine. Many go to the mountains and fields to collect Chinese herbs themselves and sell them to their patients. These conditions are practically tailor-made for me."
Dean Gu and Secretary Zhang raised their hands at the same time: "Wait, wait, let's sort this out."
"You work at the Fourth Hospital during the day and are an employee there. And then at night, or on your days off, you work as a barefoot doctor at home?"
"yes."
Dean Gu scratched his head. "It's not difficult for you to become a barefoot doctor, and you can indeed prescribe medicine to patients legally and legally. But I need to ask whether a regular hospital employee can also serve as a village barefoot doctor. I'll need to check whether it complies with the policy."
Chen Xia was also unsure. Anyway, in 2020 before his rebirth, the hospital did not allow such "multi-point practice" and employees were not allowed to work part-time outside.
But then again, it's 1981 now, and all medical regulations and systems are imperfect. If it's not prohibited by law, it's allowed. There are quite a few urban doctors going to rural hospitals to earn extra money. The key lies in the attitude of the leadership.
This matter cannot be resolved in a day or two. Chen Xia actually has another way, which is to secretly make the medicine himself, and then find an open agent, the legendary scalper, to sell it.
This method is risk-free for him, but there is a high possibility that his agent will be arrested, and Chen Xia does not want to harm anyone.
The three of them dispersed after the discussion.
At the same time, in the office of the Regional Health Bureau, Yang Jingye was also listening to the report from Xu Shuangli, the leader of the investigation team.
"Based on our extensive investigation, the results are as follows: Chen Xia himself denies selling drugs, but he does admit to developing some health supplements. We also visited the internal medicine ward, and all inpatients stated they had never heard of a medication specifically for treating stomach problems being sold at the Fourth Hospital.
Finally, we also conducted a surprise inspection of Chen Xia's residence. We did find some tools and materials at the scene. Based on the medicinal materials, they were honey, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, and Chinese yam, but no other medicinal ingredients were found. No traces of drug preparation were found in other rooms.
Yang Jingye looked at Wu Ke in surprise, and Wu Ke shook his head slightly, indicating that he had gained nothing.
This made him extremely dissatisfied. What was Lou Jianling up to? He'd been busy all this time, and he'd just provided false information? Was this how he'd ask someone for help?
Deputy Director Yang drew a circle in his heart and cursed Vice President Lou, while Vice President Lou also drew a circle and cursed Chen Xia.
Because at the hospital affairs meeting a few days later, Chen Xia unexpectedly fired a shot, and even Dean Gu and Secretary Zhang were unaware of it beforehand.
Chen Xia is a newly promoted section chief and is also a probationary Party member. During hospital meetings, he usually sits in the corner and watches a group of bigwigs show off.
But at this very ordinary hospital meeting, Chen Xia suddenly raised his hand and asked to speak.
Even Dean Gu was a little surprised. "Oh, it seems our Section Chief Chen has some opinions to raise this time. Let's listen. Hehehe."
Everyone chuckled.
Everyone knows that Chen Xia is under investigation by the Health Bureau these days. Selling fake drugs is a relatively serious crime. Once it is confirmed, he will be in big trouble. I wonder if he still has the mood to speak?
"President Gu, Secretary Zhang, all directors and section chiefs, hello everyone. This is my first time speaking at a hospital affairs meeting. As a member of the Fourth Hospital, I have the responsibility and obligation to offer my opinions."
After saying this, Chen Xia raised the papers in his hand.
"As you all know, our country has entered the era of reform and opening up. The living standards of the people are getting better and better, and the per capita income is also increasing every year. Therefore, more money should be spent on medical care.
But I checked the hospital archives a while ago and found that compared to 1979, outpatient visits decreased by 8%, inpatient visits decreased by 5%, and hospital revenue decreased by 10%.
When Chen Xia reported this series of data, everyone had a premonition that something was wrong today. Even Dean Gu and Secretary Zhang looked at each other in confusion. Lou Jianling suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Then I'd like to ask Vice President Lou, who's in charge of business operations, do you feel you've done your job well? Are you aware of this situation? Where do you think the problem lies? Is it related to your lack of business skills?"
Crack! Everyone present felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and was left feeling shattered inside and out.
You look at me, I look at you, some are smiling with their heads down, some are staring at Chen Xia with wide eyes, some are thinking about something, and some are pretending to take notes.
Things are about to change. Did Chen Xia take the wrong medicine?
(In the early 1980s, barefoot doctors in Yuezhou no longer received work points but were now responsible for their own profits and losses, and the rural cooperative medical system was also terminated.)
