Chapter 43: Authentic Medicinal Materials Are Different
According to this male doctor, this medicine is too cheap! They must have heard it right!
Especially the last patient who had just started shouting, he looked at Shen Jiang with a condemning look and extreme disgust, as if to say: What else do you have to quibble about!
Director Chen of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Gynecology Department couldn't help but stand up when he heard the commotion here.
Fang Min had originally intended to ask this TCM expert to help Shen Jiang out. This event was hosted by their hospital, and Shen Jiang was, after all, a doctor invited by the organizers. If word got out that Shen Jiang was selling medicinal herbs at exorbitant prices, their hospital's free clinic would be completely ruined.
Fang Min didn't expect that the Chinese medicine doctor in her hospital not only did not speak up for the doctors on their side, but now created a more serious problem: the doctor not only sold expensive medicinal materials, but might also be selling fake drugs.
Her eyes suddenly went dark!
Fang Min even had a headline in mind: 'At a free clinic at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, a doctor sold fake medicinal materials at exorbitant prices to make a killing.'
This Dragon Boat Festival free medical consultation activity consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, from organizing personnel to participate, formulating reception service procedures, to the subdivision and refinement of each link, with the main purpose of publicity to expand awareness.
If her fame depended on such heartbreaking scandals, she would be fired tomorrow for setting foot in the hospital with her left foot!
This situation is really getting worse and worse. Someone please help her! Fang Min is really regretting it now. She finally understands what it means to be unlucky and even drinking water will cause a lump in your teeth!
If she had known this earlier, she would not have allowed Shen Jiang to come in for consultation!
Lin Yunqing initially thought she had gotten a good deal and was secretly happy. But then she saw the strange expressions on the faces of the people around her, especially the male doctor who looked at her with sympathy. She suddenly realized that the male doctor was trying to tell her that Dr. Shen had cheated her.
She didn't want to hear that.
"What do you mean by that?!" Lin Yunqing yelled at the Chinese medicine doctor in a bad mood, "You mean I'm stupid and bought a fake? Let me tell you, Dr. Shen's medicine is great. I was so sick that I was almost dying, but thanks to her medicine, I can stand here now!"
Seeing these people's expressions of disbelief, Lin Yunqing quickly took out her phone and flipped through the photo album. She held up the phone interface and said to everyone, "Look carefully, this is what I looked like half a month ago. If it weren't for Dr. Shen's superb medical skills and good herbs, I wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly."
The Chinese medicine uncle actually felt a little regretful after he finished speaking, especially when he saw Fang Min's extremely ugly face, he knew he had said the wrong thing. But he was also telling the truth. He was too excited just now and couldn't hold back, and his mouth blurted out what was in his heart.
The Chinese medicine practitioner had no choice but to make amends, "I didn't say you bought fake medicine. I just said the medicine she prescribed might be farmed Cistanche deserticola, not wild-grown. Wild-grown Cistanche deserticola is incredibly expensive. The price difference is simply enormous compared to farmed Cistanche deserticola."
That’s more like it, Lin Yunqing thought angrily. She said, how could Dr. Shen sell her fake medicine? She is the reincarnation of Hua Tuo.
But Shen Jiang would not accept that the premium medicinal materials produced by Longshan were slandered as inferior products. The "wild" she casually mentioned only represented the lower limit of the medicinal materials.
In fact, although the herbs on Mount Godwin didn't have a magical aura, they were all top-notch medicinal herbs. She dared to say that there was no better medicinal herb in the world.
Mingxintang hadn't received wild Cistanche deserticola in years. Shen Jiang had only just started college, helping her grandmother with her accounts, when she first encountered this herb. So the price she set was based on the price of wild Cistanche deserticola from several years ago. After all, she had no idea what the current price of Cistanche deserticola was.
"Everyone, listen to me," Shen Jiang stood up, speaking sternly and solemnly, "Our Mingxintang is a small clinic, operating on a small scale, and we rely on the word of mouth of our patients.
The wild Cistanche deserticola I'm talking about is a natural herb that grows naturally in the wild without any human intervention. If anyone questions it, please provide a direct identification report, rather than just relying on price.
We set this price because it's a batch of herbs my grandmother stockpiled years ago. Although the price of Cistanche deserticola is high now, we will never deliberately raise the price just to make money! After all, we are doctors, not drug dealers!
Lin Yunqing nodded seriously, agreeing with Shen Jiang's words. In her opinion, Shen Jiang's attitude of serving the people as a great doctor is worthy of learning for some doctors!
The Chinese medicine doctor wanted to refute her, but seeing Fang Min's face full of pleading, asking him to stop interfering, he was afraid that if anything went wrong here today, Fang Min would have to drag him down with her. This made him suddenly get goose bumps on his back.
After thinking about it, he silently swallowed what he wanted to say. Don't make trouble. He has elderly parents and young children to take care of, so he doesn't have the ability to confront unscrupulous businessmen.
These days, whoever has a dark heart can make money!
Director Chen Ping of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Gynecology Department had already listened to the conversation not far away, but her focus was not on the price of Cistanche deserticola at all.
She walked up to Shen Jiang, her eyes filled with eagerness: "Little girl, you said you have Cistanche deserticola, right?"
Shen Jiang didn't understand why she was suddenly so excited, but nodded anyway.
Chen Ping’s idea was simple and crude. No matter whether it was natural or artificial, the key was that this young Chinese doctor actually had this medicinal ingredient in his hands!
You know, this medicinal ingredient was no longer available in Chinese medicine hospitals two years ago.
Chen Ping is the director of the Department of Gynecology of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Cistanche deserticola is a warm but not dry tonic that strengthens yin and improves essence, and plays a crucial role for many of her patients.
Originally, she could have let her patients look for it at traditional Chinese medicine stores, but over the past six months, several of her patients have reported that they can no longer buy Cistanche deserticola there. As a result, the effectiveness of Chen Ping's prescriptions for some patients has been greatly limited.
This male doctor probably doesn't use Cistanche deserticola very often, so the price he quoted is outdated. Chen Ping said that if you want to buy Cistanche deserticola now, you can't do it without spending tens of thousands of yuan. Many of her patients, who come from wealthy families, can't even afford it!
Chen Ping got straight to the point and said, "I'd like to know where you get your Cistanche deserticola from. Can we talk about it?"
Shen Jiang was startled by her question. Why would she suddenly check her source of medicine? She quickly shook her head and said, "These are all herbs my grandmother used to stockpile. I don't know where they came from. She often went to the deep mountains and old forests to find authentic herbs. Only she knows the source."
Chen Ping felt more reassured and asked, "Can you take me to see your grandmother? Many of my patients need this Cistanche deserticola."
Fang Min hurried over to explain that Shen Jiang's grandmother was still in a coma in the hospital due to a medical dispute some time ago.
Chen Ping felt a little regretful that such a good doctor had such an incident. As a result, the supply of Cistanche deserticola was cut off.
But she didn't give up and continued to ask, "Does your clinic have a lot of Cistanche deserticola? I want to see the quality. If it's suitable, price is not a problem!"
The onlookers were all shocked. Why did Director Chen, who seemed to have an extraordinary temperament, speak so calmly? The price of the medicine was no longer a question. As long as the medicinal materials in the hands of this young girl were of good quality, she would take them no matter how much the price was?
Are doctors so generous nowadays?
Shen Jiang was stunned, and didn't seem to expect that she came to him to buy medicine!
"Mingxintang only treats illnesses, not sells medicine."
Shen Jiang refused the middle-aged female doctor without thinking. If she wanted to make money from Chinese medicinal herbs, she would not come here for free medical treatment.
Chen Ping was stunned by the strange aura that suddenly burst out from Shen Jiang, and her face turned a little unhappy. But she was not unhappy about Shen Jiang's arrogance, she was just worried about where to find Cistanche deserticola.
Chen Ping thought and thought, and finally came up with a perfect plan!
She walked over to Shen Jiang and said softly, "How about this? I'll go to your place to check out the quality of the Cistanche deserticola. If it's good, I'll come to your place for half a day every week to see you. Is that okay?"
For a senior director to speak to a little girl like this is already a very humble attitude.
The few who had been staying put to watch the show really felt that this was the right time to come, otherwise how could they have seen such an incredible development direction. If they told others, who would believe it?
Shen Jiang thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
She added in her mind: If Director Chen's medical skills weren't good enough, she wouldn't agree to let her come to Mingxin Hall to see patients. But considering the other party's face, she didn't say this out loud.
The smile on Fang Min's face was almost gone. This development was completely beyond her expectations. However, the great expert from her own hospital was seduced away by a small clinic.
This doesn't sound like a good thing at all.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Lu also walked in at this time. He had been listening quietly for a while not far away. However, there were too many people eating melons, so no one noticed him.
He took Lin Yunqing's phone, squinted his eyes to look at it, and then looked at her radiant appearance, and was really surprised.
"You said that you took seven prescriptions of her medicine and recovered to your current state?" He looked at Lin Yunqing.
Lin Yunqing saw that he had an unusual aura. She seldom dealt with such an elegant old man, so she felt that this old man had an unusual background.
She carefully recounted all the discomfort she had experienced before, and finally sighed, "Dr. Shen is young and promising. The day I met her was truly the luckiest day of my life."
Lu Chongfeng knew what she said was true. After all, with his level of skill, just by looking at Lin Yunqing's previous photos without makeup, he could tell that she had a lot of problems, which really matched up with what she said.
He turned around, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Shen Jiang carefully: "Tell me, what medicine did you prescribe for her?"
Shen Jiang: Could he have mistaken me for his student? Why does it feel like I was being questioned when I followed Professor Mei to see patients?
However, Shen Jiang still respected the elderly and loved the young, so she explained her basis and prescription in detail.
Mr. Lu also reacted strongly.
He said, "You actually prescribed aconite for her?"
She was such a young girl, and her family had just had an accident, yet she dared to prescribe such toxic medicine to a critically ill patient. Her courage was incredible.
Isn't she afraid?
Shen Jiang had studied Traditional Chinese Medicine for nearly twenty years, longer than most practitioners present. Furthermore, her grandmother and Elder Mei had taken great care in teaching her how to use aconite, so when she prescribed the medicine, she hadn't considered the possibility of any problems. She had even tried the medicine herself.
Shen Jiang explained simply: "We need to use aconite to warm and nourish the kidney yang."
Mr. Lu was almost laughed out of anger by her. How could he not know what aconite was used for?
"Little girl, let me ask you, are the herbs in your clinic really all authentic herbs that your grandma collected from all over the place?"
"certainly."
"Well, take me to your clinic. If what you say is true, I'll come to see you for half a day every month."
Shen Jiang was stunned. What was going on? She had come to this free clinic to attract clients, but instead of attracting any patients, she had actually sent two specialists back. Especially this old man. Judging by the way the group had treated him, he looked like the hospital's mascot. Was he kidding her?!
At the end of this farce, the happiest person was not Shen Jiang, but Fang Min.
She originally thought that she was finished, but unexpectedly, this free clinic also extended to a good story of cooperation between the Chinese Hospital and Mingxintang. When promoting the clinic, the comrades from the publicity department specifically pointed out that Dr. Shen Anlian of Mingxintang was a very outstanding folk Chinese medicine practitioner. The reason why Dr. Lu and Director Chen Ping went to Mingxintang for consultation was because they admired her for running around to find authentic medicinal materials for patients over the years.
Because this free clinic received great social attention afterwards, the Chinese medicine hospital was publicly commended at the city conference. Fang Min, as the person in charge of inviting Mingxintang, was highly praised by the leaders, and her popularity even overshadowed her competitor Zhou Shuhua.
Fang Min never expected that this matter would have such an unexpected turn of events. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
On this side, Shen Jiang, who inexplicably recruited two experts, came to another world again.
