Shen Anning and his group arrived in Ontario the afternoon of the second day after the train departed. Because Ontario was not very far from Beijing, the speed-up train only took a day and a night plus two or three hours.
The Chinese medicine hospital they visited this time was in Hewitt, the capital of Ontario. Knowing they were coming, the hospital sent a logistics staff member to pick them up.
As soon as we exited the platform, we saw a very conspicuous sign. Director Liu, our team leader, walked over and said, "Comrade, thank you for your hard work. We are a team that came from Beijing to visit and study. Please wait for two of us. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, it's okay. I know your train sequence and asked the station staff about your train's arrival time in advance. Thank you for the hard work of traveling all the way here."
These people came here to study and learn, not to inspect other people's achievements, so they naturally have to pay for their own accommodation and meals.
At the recommendation of Comrade Xiao Li from Laojie Station, ten people checked into a hotel closest to the hospital. Before Western medicine developed to a certain level, many diseases still relied heavily on traditional Chinese medicine, so many families of patients from other cities in the province who came to seek medical treatment stayed in nearby hotels.
The inspection team sent by the hospital this time consists of six men and four women, which makes accommodation more convenient. There are five double rooms, and twelve people per night. With the average salary of one hundred and sixty or one hundred and seventy yuan today, this price is not too expensive.
Director Liu came with funding, and with so much money in his bag, he was afraid of losing it, so he paid a week's rent in advance.
For dinner, everyone had dinner in the hospital cafeteria.
Looking at the notes posted on each window, staple food, soups, stir-fries, taking a closer look, each one can be considered a medicinal food, soups for regulating the five internal organs, nourishing the mind, protecting the liver, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, and some are added with Chinese medicinal materials, and some are made with seasonal vegetables and meat, such as yam and pork tripe, chestnut and longan porridge, egg and black fungus porridge, winter melon and barley duck, etc. There are complete varieties, and the smell is also very, very fragrant.
"Let's not talk about anything else, just looking at this cafeteria is enough for us to learn. If you ask me, life is getting better and better, and we should improve the standard of dining. These ingredients are not expensive. To be honest, our cafeteria still retains the same old style. After so many years, I'm tired of eating there."
Shen An Ning had to admit the wonderfulness of this cafeteria. These meals can be eaten by patients and their families, and there are expensive and cheap ones. Beef and Astragalus Soup, Chive Beef Soup, Eucommia Mutton Soup, and Radish Mutton Soup have similar effects, but the ingredients used are different. There are plenty of choices for people with a lot of money or a little money.
There are ten people, and everyone orders something different, because the cafeteria here provides three meals a day. You don’t need a doctor’s certificate to buy what you want to eat. If there is something missing, as long as you say that your patient wants to eat what the doctor recommends, the chef will make a special portion for you.
"Oh, it tastes good. This soup is cooked in a clay pot. No, I have to buy another bowl after I finish it. It smells so good."
"Yeah, this porridge is not bad either. Don't say this place is really professional and down-to-earth. They have steamed buns, dumplings, sesame cakes, and everything else. The main attraction is the combination."
Before they officially visited the hospital, the cafeteria alone opened the eyes of Shen Anning and his group. On the way back to the hotel, everyone was tacitly imagining what kind of surprises they would encounter tomorrow.
Before going to bed, Shen An Ning did not dare to forget to call the man at home. The signal on the train was bad and intermittent. The signal was gone after a few words. So as soon as the senior sister who lived with her went into the bathroom, she sneaked to the window at the end of the corridor with her mobile phone.
"Hello."
"Hello, it's me? Where am I?"
Cao Jingheng stuffed the troublesome boys into bed and made up a story while holding the phone. "Dad has work to do. You guys should go to sleep quickly. Dad will come in to check on us later. Anyone who doesn't sleep well will be spanked."
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Shen Anning almost couldn't hold it in anymore, "Why don't you bother to stay over there tonight?"
"There's no one I'm thinking of at home, so I can only come here to watch pirated movies."
"Hahahaha, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling you, I've really broadened my horizons tonight... You don't even know this. This doesn't even feel like a hospital cafeteria. It's more like a privately-ordered herbal restaurant."
Listening to his wife's voice, Cao Jingheng leaned against the wall at the door and found that he had been thinking about it for only two days. "Really? Then when you come back this time, report it to the higher-ups and ask them to build a hospital like this. I support you in doing whatever you want to do. Honey, I miss you."
"I missed you too. Okay, we've been talking for so long and haven't talked to the kids yet. Hurry and take the phone inside."
"Be good, and I'll fight you again tomorrow morning."
The man, who was about to hang up, turned around and opened the door. "Mom called. Come on, are you asleep? If you're not asleep, say goodnight to Mom."
Little Peanut is not as easily fooled as his two younger brothers. He looks at his father with suspicion, but he dares not say anything because his father will really spank him when he gets angry. His mother is not at home and the wives are asleep, so no one will rescue him at this time.
The visit and learning on the second day continued to shock Shen Anning and his group. Director Liu, who was in charge of leading the team, took notes as he walked, holding a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, and asked the graduate students who followed him to take pictures at any time.
The outpatient building has only five floors. The first floor is used as a triage desk, payment center and pharmacy. The second to fifth floors are different specialist clinics, and each floor is divided into different categories. The inpatient buildings are the buildings at the back. The first floor is not used for living, and it is also a pharmacy and a place for decocting medicine. This is different from the design of previous hospitals, which makes many people envious.
As TCM practitioners, what they are most looking forward to is a specialized TCM hospital like this one, where they can showcase all their skills and continue to delve deeper into their practice!
