Chapter 992: Making Good Friends 3

Hearing Feng Qingxue's question, Guo Ming and Guo Li coughed a few times at the same time.

"Is it inconvenient to answer? If so, then forget it." Feng Qingxue was very understanding. Looking at the awkward expressions of the two, she vaguely guessed something.

Guo Ming sighed softly and lowered his voice even more. "What's so hard to understand about this? The country is so big, don't you know how many farmers there are? To put it bluntly, there is a severe shortage of Western medicine talents, and the investment in Western medicine equipment is huge. How can it be invested in the vast rural areas? The country simply can't afford it. And the rural doctors you mentioned are half-doctors and half-farmers, with almost no cost. Except for a very small number of them who come from traditional Chinese medicine families, other rural doctors can't even be called traditional Chinese medicine doctors."

At this point, Guo Ming frowned. "I've also heard recently that some illiterate people in the countryside can treat people with just a few needles and a handful of grass after receiving some medical training. Isn't this a joke?"

Traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. Haven’t you seen that Feng Qingxue still has some shortcomings after studying it for five or six years?

Feng Qingxue coughed and said, "At least the doctor in charge of our brigade has better medical skills and more experience than me."

After a pause, she said softly, "There is a lack of doctors and medicine in the countryside. Serious illnesses cannot be cured, and minor illnesses can only be cured through hard work. It is better to have descendants of medical families serving as doctors than to have no one. Moreover, most of those who participate in medical training are educated young people in junior high school or high school, or have some knowledge of medical theory. As for the illiteracy you mentioned, it may be because I am ignorant and have not heard of it yet."

"There is such a situation. Your master didn't lie to you." Guo Yan interrupted, "I heard from the cadres under your uncle that this kind of thing happened in their hometown. Such medical workers simply treat human lives as a joke."

Feng Qingxue frowned, "If you say that, you really don't care about human life."

"The conditions don't allow it!" Guo Ming sighed. "Chinese and Western medicine each have their own strengths. The best strategy is to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. However, the country's economy is backward now, and it is difficult to be comprehensive. We can only work hard bit by bit. If conditions allow, I really hope to open a class and cultivate a group of outstanding talents for the country. What a pity! I don't need to tell you about the current situation."

All universities have suspended classes, including medical universities, without exception, whether they are teaching Chinese or Western medicine.

Feng Qingxue comforted him, "Master, don't worry, I will study hard."

"This is why I accepted you as my apprentice." Guo Ming said without reservation, "You are talented and willing to calm down and learn. The most important thing is that you have broad knowledge and a kind heart, unlike some people who are insincere. If a person without a kind heart studies medicine, it is simply harming people. Medical skills can save people, but they can also kill people, and kill people without blood."

Guo Li whispered beside him, "One of your master's classmates used the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint in traditional Chinese medicine to harm others, causing the other party's family to be destroyed and leaving only one child, your third brother. When your master rescued him, he was almost on the verge of death, and it took him nearly ten years of treatment to recover. So your master took this as a warning, and he would never teach a single bit of medical skills to people with bad character."

Feng Qingxue suddenly realized, "So Third Senior Brother actually had such an experience?"

No wonder, no wonder Liu Tianxing devoted his life to traditional Chinese medicine and was most knowledgeable about the theory of mutual generation and mutual restraint.

Mrs. Guo Li nodded. "Fortunately, that man is dead. How could he not die after killing so many people? His death is ridiculous. He died at the hands of his wife, who used the method of drug counteraction. Your third brother has finally got his revenge."
