"Old boss, I don't believe you won't be angry after hearing what they said."
"Sigh... I'm angry, but there are things I just can't say."
"So, if you can't say it, I will. I'll take the blame." Li Chu spread his hands and said seriously.
"Hehe," Vice Minister Cheng chuckled, pointing at him, "Who asked you to take the blame?"
"You people, I've already taken the blame, but if you still won't admit it, then don't blame me for flipping the table next time."
“Uh…” Looking at the ambiguous smile on Li Chu’s face, Vice Minister Cheng paused slightly, shook his head and sighed, “We have no choice.”
"I understand, so I cooperated with you as much as possible. But there won't be a next time."
Vice Minister Cheng nodded silently, seemingly lost in thought.
Li Chu didn't say anything, picked up the freshly brewed tea and took a sip. Hmm, this jasmine tea is not bad.
"Some people have suggested implementing an admission system for doctors. What's your opinion?"
Old Cheng skipped over the previous topic, only mentioning it briefly.
"Admission system? What does that mean?"
"This means that all doctors must take an exam organized by the health department. Only those who pass can become doctors, treat patients, and have the right to prescribe medication."
"Isn't that a medical practitioner's license?"
"Yes, that's it, you know it."
"You underestimate me too much. Although I practice traditional Chinese medicine, I also study English and read foreign journals."
"Okay, okay, I admit I misspoke. What do you think about this?"
“It’s a good thing, but I think we should distinguish between them.”
This time, it was Vice Minister Cheng's turn to be confused: "What do you mean? What do you mean by distinguishing?"
"So, if this medical practitioner qualification certificate is implemented, wouldn't people without the certificate be practicing medicine illegally?"
"That's right."
"Have you considered the people in remote areas or mountains? Some villages are inaccessible to the outside world, or too far from the city. If those mountain people have a headache or fever, someone in their village might get them some herbal medicine."
This person probably hasn't studied medicine at all, whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. The few skills they know are just inherited from their ancestors. There's no way someone like that could pass the certification exam. What are they supposed to do?
Li Chu took another sip of water, put down the cup, and continued, "Old leader, there are many people like this in the countryside. Some of them may only know a few words, and the little medical skills they know have been passed down from generation to generation. They rely on this to make a living."
Some people might only know how to treat a cold, fever, or diarrhea, and they're using folk remedies. If these people don't pass the certification exam, won't they be practicing medicine illegally? What will we do then? Should we stop them from doing it? What will they eat and drink? What will happen to the villagers when they get sick? Have you considered these questions?
Li Chu's words, and his final series of questions, plunged Vice Minister Cheng into deep thought.
He didn't know how to answer; these were all excellent questions.
Now, and for a long time to come, many rural areas will only be able to rely on these folk healers for medical treatment.
It's impossible for me to walk dozens of kilometers of mountain roads to the city to see a doctor for such a minor illness.
But what can be done? Just issue them qualification certificates? That won't work either. It's unfair to those medical students who have worked so hard for so many years.
What do you think should be done about this problem?
"Old boss, if I knew what to do, I should be the one making the policies."
"Aren't there so many experts and scholars? Let's throw this problem at them and let them think about it, so they don't become spineless from being idle all day long."
"You always have such a sharp tongue. But we really should give them something to do," Vice Minister Cheng nodded and said.
"Don't just sit around doing nothing. When you have some free time, think about how to formulate the assessment method for this qualification certificate."

"No, no, no, Vice Minister, please don't assign me any more work. I have plenty of things to do every day. I'm going to teach at the medical school after the New Year, and I don't have that much free time."
"You're going to teach a class?" Vice Minister Cheng looked at Li Chu with slight surprise.
"What kind of expression is that? Are you saying that I, Li, am not even qualified to teach students?"
"No," Vice Minister Cheng hurriedly waved his hand. Good heavens, if you're not qualified, then who is? You even wrote the textbooks.
"I mean, could you teach at a local medical school?"
"It was approved two years ago. I can teach classes, but I can't receive part-time wages."
? ? ?
This baffling maneuver left even Lao Cheng bewildered.
"What? Selfless dedication?"
“Your thinking is not right, old comrade. Why can’t I talk about dedication?”
"You'd better leave now. I can understand Old Lin now. You have such a big mouth!"
"Hey, you guys used me up and then dumped me. Old boss, tell your big boss that you owe me two favors, and I'll think about paying you back later."
After saying that, Li Chu stood up and walked towards the office door.
Vice Minister Cheng sat on the sofa without moving, watching him open the door, walk out, and then close the door, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.
He also stood up and walked to the window, looking down at the building below.
Within two minutes, Li Chu was seen swaying as he walked out of the building, went to the parking lot next door, opened the door of a black car, and got in.
It was only then that Vice Minister Cheng realized that this guy had changed vehicles, and it was still a Volga.
It's much better than his Jeep, hey, where did this guy get such a nice car without saying a word?
Thinking about the connections this guy had, he shook his head again, realizing there was no way he could compare.
Right, he patted his forehead. He needed to quickly report the issues that kid had raised to the higher-ups. These were excellent questions that definitely needed serious discussion.
There is a severe shortage of medical staff at the grassroots level, so last year, private doctors were allowed to practice medicine, which broke the monopoly of public hospitals in the field of medical and health care.
However, this has also led to a situation where the quality varies greatly. Just as Li Chu just said, some people may only know one prescription in their entire lives, but it is very effective.
So, would you say this person counts as a doctor? Well, maybe not, he prescribes medicine, but that's all he knows.
So if it is decided to implement a medical practitioner's license in the future, this kind of person will be a problem.
We can't deny these people, but acknowledging them will only create more problems.
Forget it, let the leaders and experts think about these issues. I'm about to retire anyway.
