While Ye Nian'an was inside, Chu Yan was waiting outside.
A short while later, Bai Yuxiao and Su Mingyue arrived.
Upon learning that Ye Nian'an had gone in first, Su Mingyue couldn't help but bite her thin lips.
Although the position of barefoot doctor was awarded based on merit, there was no distinction between those who came first and those who came last.
But those who arrive first are more likely to make a good impression, which is much better than those who arrive later.
"Mingyue, don't be nervous. Think it over first so you can prepare for the upcoming assessment."
Before officially becoming a barefoot doctor, there was a review process in the commune before the exam and training.
After all, training costs money. Starting from scratch, it takes at least a few months, and sometimes even half a year.
This money was provided by the brigade.
Therefore, this assessment is the first hurdle, but it is also designed to be very difficult.
If you pass the test, it proves you have a medical background, and only then will the team be willing to spend money on you.
Ye Nian'an came out very quickly.
Chu Yan strode forward: "Niannian, how is she?"
"No problem, Brother Yan."
Ye Nian'an's lips curled into a confident smile.
To save costs, the commune staff simply found a real patient for Ye Nian'an.
However, it couldn't be one of those rare or complicated illnesses; it could just be something as simple as a cold or fever.
The requirement is to handle it in the fastest, simplest, and most effective way.
For Ye Nian'an, this was naturally the simplest thing in the world.
The acupuncture and medication were administered in one smooth motion.
I also took the opportunity to explain to the person in charge why we did it this way.
The person listening was stunned.
Then, seeing the patient recover significantly in an instant was truly astonishing.
It is obvious that Ye Nian'an has a very good medical background, and he can take up his post directly without even attending many training courses.
After all, barefoot doctors mostly dealt with colds, fevers, diarrhea, and in more serious cases, food poisoning.
If something serious happens, they can only be sent to the town or the city.
In those days, transportation was inconvenient, and with the added expense, people in the countryside who fell seriously ill were basically just waiting to die.
Being able to treat common ailments like colds and fevers can indirectly save many lives.
Su Mingyue and Bai Yuxiao pricked up their ears and listened secretly.
When Bai Yuxiao heard Ye Nian'an say that he was very confident, she instantly felt immense pressure.
"Mingyue, Comrade Ye Nian'an seems quite confident. Are you sure you're really okay?"
"Don't worry, Yu Xiao, there won't be any problems..."
This was the only way Su Mingyue could comfort her.
She possesses modern medical knowledge. Even if she didn't pay attention in class, wouldn't she be regarded as a genius if she could just name a few key drugs for treating diseases based on her fragmented memories?
With this thought in mind, Su Mingyue went to the office when someone called out "Comrade Su Mingyue".
Although Bai Yuxiao was worried, Su Mingyue always came up with some strange and unusual ideas that no one else had ever thought of.
Seeing her so confident, she might actually surprise people?
As soon as Su Mingyue entered the office, the examiner in charge of the review said indifferently, "Comrade Su Mingyue, is that right?"
"I am."
"Okay, this patient has been suffering from a cold for several days and has an abnormal body temperature. If it were you, what treatment would you use?"
"The requirements are that it must be economical, affordable, fast, and effective."
His tone was businesslike, clearly lacking the previous intimacy he showed towards Ye Nian'an.
After all, Ye Nian'an was highly recommended by the captain of the Red Star Brigade, and he even personally saved the second daughter-in-law of the Shi family, preserving the hard-won bloodline of the Shi family.
People in the commune had met these brigade leaders to varying degrees and had some kind of relationship with them.
As for Su Mingyue, all I know is that she was an educated youth sent to the countryside. She has no honors or awards, and I don't know her well, so how could I possibly be close to her?
Upon hearing this, Su Mingyue beamed with joy and immediately said, "Isn't that simple? Just take some cold medicine."
"Comrade Su Mingyue, please note! I'm talking about economical, affordable, effective, and fast!"
"Yeah, isn't cold medicine fast enough? You already have a fever, how about adding some aspirin? If all else fails, get an injection, it'll help you recover faster!"
"...Ahem! Comrade Su Mingyue, medicines are scarce right now, and many brigades can only get a limited amount. We hope you can answer in another way."
"Oh no, ma'am, I said that precisely because doing this best meets the four conditions you require!"
Su Mingyue pointed at the patient and said, "If he had taken cold medicine in time when the cold started to kill the virus in his body, it wouldn't have progressed to the stage of fever."
"No minor illness can be ignored; the longer it's left untreated, the more serious it becomes, and it can even lead to pneumonia! Am I wrong to suggest taking cold medicine?"
"Analgin, cold and fever relief granules, pain relievers... these are all fine! Otherwise, having to take another medication now that I have a fever will only make me feel worse!"
"you?!"
The eldest sister is almost driven crazy by Su Mingyue.
These educated youth from the city really have no idea about the hardships of life.
Liangtian Township's Hongxing Brigade ranks among the top four in performance among so many brigades. Even so, there are still many people who are hungry, have colds or fevers, and cannot afford to see a doctor.
The town could only distribute a limited amount of medicine to the brigade, and these medicines cost money.
When you prescribe Western medicine and hear that it costs money and requires a receipt, many people would rather endure the pain than come to see a doctor.
For country folk, these things are more important than their own lives!
"Comrade Su Mingyue, if this is your answer, then I understand and I may leave."
"?"
Su Mingyue was completely bewildered.
Did she say something wrong?
These are clearly the correct answers that a doctor should give!
What's wrong with nipping problems in the bud to prevent them from developing into more serious issues?
Are you only happy and satisfied when a cold and fever turns into pneumonia and becomes life-threatening?
However, Su Mingyue didn't dare say these things to the person conducting the assessment. She clearly sensed that the other person was angry and very dissatisfied with her answer.
However, Su Mingyue needed this job so that she wouldn't have to go to work and could still be respected.
Most importantly... she didn't want to lose to Ye Nian'an!
"Sister, I don't know where I went wrong. I'm just stating the facts. Can you be honest with me? Am I wrong?"
"Any illness should be detected and treated as early as possible, instead of waiting until it becomes serious before seeing a doctor. Don't you believe in the power of Western medicine?"
"Western medicine has undergone so many human trials, making it more reliable, safe, and effective than traditional Chinese medicine!"
Su Mingyue thought the man in front of her was an old-fashioned person who believed in traditional Chinese medicine and did not trust foreign Western medicine, so she chose to argue her point.
We must never allow ourselves to be denied the position of barefoot doctor in the village because of outdated ideas from the last century or such unfounded reasons.
"That's enough, you can get out!"
