Chapter 706 A suffocating sense of powerlessness!
"Auntie, don't thank me yet."
Although I am capable of curing these ailments, I make a living as a doctor. If everyone comes empty-handed seeking treatment, I can't possibly live on air and dew, can I?"
Li San Niang would never treat people for free; that was a rule she absolutely could not set.
There is no way to save all the suffering people in the world!
Li San Niang had already realized this, but with the person seeking treatment right in front of her, she couldn't just watch Wang Da Lang's life end like this.
As soon as Li San Niang finished speaking, the three members of the Wang family were about to kneel down again.
Fortunately, Li's mother was there to help. She grabbed Wang's mother, who was about to kneel down, and said, "My family has established a Women's Assistance Association. Have you heard of it?"
"Come here, let me explain it to you in detail."
Therefore, in the end, Wang Dalang could obtain help from the Women's Assistance Association under the identity of the Queen Mother, which could be considered a loan with extremely low interest rates.
"Once you join, you'll be a member of this alliance, and the alliance will naturally be helpful to you."
But you're asking for this for your son, so this money won't be free. Whether your family repays it in three or five years, once Wang Dalang recovers, you'll still have to pay it back.
The Queen Mother still had tears on her face, but these were tears of joy.
"We'll pay it back! We'll definitely pay it back! My family will definitely repay this money!"
Li San Niang, Li's father, and Li's second brother discussed, "This is an opportunity. Wang Da Lang's condition is quite suitable for us to conduct a teaching session."
"What are your thoughts now?" Father Li asked, stroking his beard as he looked at Third Sister Li.
Looking at Wang Dalang's bent leg, Li Sanniang said, "There must be a doctor who would like to see this broken and fixed again, right?"
"I can teach them," she winked at Li Er, who understood immediately, "but they have to pay to see it?"
"Whether we pay for the treatment or take over all of Wang Dalang's medicine expenses, it doesn't matter, as long as we don't lose money."
You should know, I didn't even teach this technique to the physicians in the Department of Surgery at the Imperial Medical Academy.
In just a few words, Li San Niang and Li Er Xiong made the decision. Upon hearing this, the Wang family not only no longer had to worry about the cost of medicine in the future, but would also receive more care from doctors, so they naturally agreed to become their students.
In fact, now that it's a medical market, the Wang family couldn't possibly disagree, since if they didn't, no one else would have the technology to save Wang Dalang.
Overall, it can be considered a win-win-win situation for all three parties.
First, the Wang family no longer needs to worry too much about money;
Second, physicians within the medical alliance can learn new medical techniques;
Third, to make Li San Niang famous and raise her status in the medical field.
The longer Li Sanniang walked this path of medicine, the more she understood that as long as she was in Chang'an, even if she had a former head of the Imperial Medical Bureau as her master, learned acupuncture skills, was secretly an outsider of the Bad People, and was even listed in the "Records of Extraordinary People" for proposing things like smallpox vaccination and opium prevention, she would still be at a disadvantage.
On the surface, she was the first female physician in Chang'an, and with her expertise in surgery, she gained the favor of the Medical Alliance and the Imperial Medical Bureau.
She also helped Li's mother and others to start a support association for female midwives, and she also worked as a teacher at a midwifery school.
In terms of achievements, all of these combined are already quite remarkable.
But that's not enough!
not enough!
That's far from enough!
Li San Niang still felt a sense of powerlessness, a feeling stemming from her experience of working hard at a drug rehabilitation center on the outskirts of Beijing for the past month or so.
When she faced Princess Qingyang and Physician Ning, the subtle feeling of being manipulated by power was truly unbearable.
Of course, those in positions of power are always very polite and courteous when dealing with skilled female physicians like Li San Niang. For example, when Li San Niang returned home this time, Physician Ning granted her three days' leave, and Princess Qingyang also sent her many valuable gifts.
But!
The subtle disdain that comes from those in a superior's eyes, beneath the polite formalities, is quite obvious, especially for someone as perceptive as Li San Niang, this feeling is amplified even more.
Otherwise, Li San Niang wouldn't have become so thin in just over a month. It was all due to overwork and deep worries.
Therefore, the suffocating feeling of powerlessness caused Li San Niang's inherent ambition to erupt once again; she wanted power!
Therefore, Li San Niang wanted to use Wang Da Lang's leg injury to expand her influence.
After the Wang family left their contact information and it was agreed that Brother Li would contact them later, and after they were given a prescription to relieve the pain and had the medicine filled, the Wang family was sent out of the clinic.
As soon as the Wang family left, Li's father quickly said to Li Gui, "Hurry up and close the door. Let's rest early today. You can go home after you've finished taking inventory."
Only then did Li San Niang have time to sit down and have a proper talk with the Li family.
However, before Li Gui closed the door, Li San Niang specially asked Li Er Xiong to help her send messages to the students in her midwife school through the street clerks. The message was that the midwife school, which had not been open for a month and a half, would be holding a lecture the next day.
As the sun set, the gates of all the wards in Chang'an City would be closing in about half an hour. The servant guarding the gate of the Jin family walked quickly, passing through the covered walkway and garden, and arrived at the gate of the back courtyard. The servant, who was very articulate, said to the old woman guarding the gate: "A message from Physician Li's house in Changshou Ward is for the eldest daughter."
When the old woman heard that the message came from the place where Jin Zhenbao had apprenticed to learn his skills, she immediately accepted it.
Meanwhile, Sun Chunlan, Yao Qingqing, Cheng Wanwan, Yu Xueniang, and others living in other wards in Chang'an City also received news that the lecture would begin the next day.
Meanwhile, Li San Niang, who was staying at the Li family's house, changed her clothes and took the things prepared by her mother from the back door of the Li family's house to the neighbor's house. Of course, she was going to the backyard of the neighbor's house to find Doctor Liang and Junior Brother Shaoyang.
Having met with Dewdrop and the Li family, including Li's parents, and knowing that he hadn't returned for over a month, it was only right to pay my respects to Doctor Liang.
On the way, Li San Niang, carrying a gift bag, said to Qiu Xiang, "I wonder if Master and Junior Brother will feel sorry for me like Father and Mother when they see me like this."
To be honest, I'm not afraid of my parents scolding me, but I am genuinely a little afraid of my master.
However, over the past month or so, I've practiced the acupuncture technique I inherited from my master a lot, and I feel I've improved considerably. I hope my master will consider this and refrain from criticizing me.
After mentally preparing herself before entering the room, Li San Niang finally raised her hand and knocked on the door.
To everyone's surprise, it wasn't Shaoyang's junior brother who opened the door, but rather Duoshou (Fang Chengxian's servant).
"Li San Niangzi!"
"Long lifespan?"
"Yes, Third Sister, please be well!"
Third Sister, you're finally back!
Just now, my lord was mentioning you, Third Mistress, to Doctor Liang.
With doubts in her eyes, Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang followed Duo Shou into the courtyard. After passing the screen wall, they saw four people sitting around a stone table under a tree.
