Chapter 746 A Dream of Youth 278
Jiang Yuanzheng did not quite agree with Xie Ning's idea, because this group of female workers had finally become familiar with the pharmaceutical process. If another group of novices were recruited, wouldn't they have to be trained again?
“Professor Jiang,” Xie Ning stared at him intently, “The pharmacy is for the benefit of all doctors, and the world is divided into Yin and Yang. If there are only male doctors in the pharmacy, very few women will dare to seek treatment.”
Even in the eyes of doctors like us, patients are not divided by gender, but the world cares.
Nowadays, only pharmacies in the capital have female doctors, but the world is so big, and the capital only occupies a small part. How many women are unable to receive medical treatment?
If the number of female doctors can increase, they can be assigned to local pharmacies to practice medicine. This is truly for the benefit of all physicians, and it was also His Majesty's original intention in establishing the pharmacies.
The most perfect outcome would be for both men and women to be free from the taboo of seeking medical help because of their gender.
Jiang Yuanzheng couldn't refute this, since Xie Ning had brought up the emperor.
Logically speaking, local pharmacies should also follow the example of pharmacies in the capital to recruit female doctors. However, firstly, there is no one like Xie Ning to lead the way in the local area. There may be many women who understand medical principles, but there are not many who can reach Xie Ning's level of medical skills.
Secondly... at first everyone thought it was the emperor coaxing a child and didn't take it seriously.
Even though Xie Wangzhi was there at the beginning, apart from giving Xie Ning some conveniences in some procedures, Xie Ning was still the only one who worked hard to build the pharmacy step by step.
Women in the capital who are sick will go to the medicine shop, and even some men will go there secretly. This shows how well this makeshift operation has been run now.
Jiang Yuanzheng was no fool; he could roughly guess Xie Ning's thoughts. After all, Xie Ning hadn't hidden anything; she always pursued her goals openly and honestly, and most people found it difficult to refuse a deal with her.
Jiang Yuanzheng is also at this moment.
Xie Ning didn't continue with any grand principles of "appealing to emotions," but instead showed the newly compiled data to Dean Jiang.
That was the annual profit of the Women's Pharmaceutical Factory, plus the profit Xie Ning had budgeted for from placing some of the factory's gynecological drugs and female doctors into local pharmacies.
Although this pharmacy was established to benefit the people, it also makes a profit.
From the perspective of the doctor-patient relationship, there are quite a few women as potential patients. From a business perspective, aren't those female patients also potential customers who can generate huge profits?
After calming down, Jiang Yuanzheng instructed his medical assistant to go find Lord He and the Imperial Physician.
Most of the people working in the pharmacy were doctors and some medicine-making assistants and apprentices, but there were also administrative officials, and Lord He was in charge of this aspect.
"Imperial Physician Xie, you want to send them to the Imperial Medical Bureau and then recruit new female students. I can agree to that, but I have one condition."
That is, to completely merge the pharmaceutical research institute and the pharmacy.
The pharmaceutical institute managed by Xie Ning was under the administration of the State Pharmacy, but it was in a semi-independent state. Some confidential drugs could only be produced by the pharmaceutical institute.
In Jiang Yuanzheng's eyes, if Xie Ning wanted to send the female doctor to the local area, then the two had to be completely merged.
The pharmacy was able to maximize its profits, and Xie Ning also achieved his goal.
"how?"
Xie Ning seemed to hesitate for a while before nodding in agreement.
After Lord He arrived, they discussed how to carry out the reforms. Jiang Yuanzheng rejected Xie Ning's idea of recruiting new people.
Because they need to ensure the efficiency of drug production, they don't have much time to train a new batch of people to take over the pharmaceutical work. This is one of the reasons why Jiang Yuanzheng just proposed a complete merger.
However, Jiang Yuanzheng refused Xie Ning's offer to recruit new people at the pharmaceutical institute, but opened a door for women to be taught at the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Not only can the female doctors from this batch of pharmaceutical institutes go there to learn, but new people will also be recruited for future use. In this way, the effect is much better than Xie Ningchu had originally expected.
Because the pharmaceutical institute and the Imperial Medical Bureau are different, the Imperial Medical Bureau has more comprehensive and professional physicians to teach, and its medical books are also more abundant.
