Chapter 200: Medicine is Poisonous
"Not for now," Yun Qiao explained. "After all, medicine is toxic. You're pregnant now, so it's best to avoid taking any medicine if possible. Your bleeding isn't heavy, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Let's observe for now. If you continue to have spotting, I'll prescribe you medication to preserve your pregnancy."
"OK."
Yun Qiao had just seen off Wu Zhaodi and her mother-in-law when Zheng Wenjing came back with her meal.
The food in the cafeteria was as bland as ever, with mixed-grain rice mixed with soybeans and stir-fried Chinese cabbage without a trace of oil. Everyone ate without a word.
After dinner, there were no patients in the bathroom, so Yun Qiao took advantage of this free time to teach Zheng Wenjing basic medical knowledge.
Zheng Wenjing frowned when he heard this, and it was unclear whether he remembered the bitter and resentful expression or not.
But even if Zheng Wenjing didn't remember, Yun Qiao didn't have time to discuss it with her, because the afternoon work call would ring at the appointed time, and there was not much time left for them at noon.
"Your task for today is to finish studying the first section of Volume 1 of 'Basics of Medicine.' Anything you don't finish by noon today will be continued after work in the evening."
"I know."
As Zheng Wenjing herself said, she is not good at studying.
In third grade, she started failing math. By junior high, the difficulty of memorizing Chinese texts skyrocketed, and she couldn't even memorize them. So, let alone physics and mathematics, they were like a foreign language to her; she couldn't understand them at all.
Studying medicine...it's not difficult, but it's also easy...it's still a bit difficult.
After all, just getting familiar with the names and efficacy of various medicinal herbs was enough to keep Zheng Wenjing busy for more than half a month, not to mention the interactions and counteractions between the various herbs. It would take at least a year or two to learn it.
Zheng Wenjing scratched his head and racked his brains.
Yun Qiao, as a teacher, is not having an easy time either.
Although she was still an unmarried young girl, tutoring Zheng Wenjing gave her the strange feeling of being a painless mother. Especially when this "baby" was still a piece of rotten wood, it made her feel extremely crazy!
"No, it's just such a simple paragraph, less than 500 words, and you haven't memorized it in ten minutes? Are you sure you're taking it seriously?"
Yun Qiao was dumbfounded.
Zheng Wenjing said with a bitter face, "Don't rush me. I'll keep reciting. Yun Qiao, please believe me! It's not that I'm not serious, it's just that this long list of professional terms is too difficult to pronounce! I can't memorize them in ten minutes."
"Then I'll give you five more minutes. If you still can't memorize it within five minutes, you'll have to copy it ten times."
"Ah!" Zheng Wenjing wailed, "It's so hard to give me five more minutes!"
Yun Qiao knocked the table with the back of his hand, his expression serious, showing no mercy because they were friends: "Recite quickly!"
"Wuwuwuwu, I'll carry you right away!"
Zheng Wenjing frowned with a look of deep resentment. After five minutes, he finally recited the professional terminology in a halting manner, pausing three times a sentence.
Although Yun Qiao was not very satisfied, she felt that Zheng Wenjing had at least memorized it, so she encouraged her: "Not bad, you have memorized it."
Zheng Wenjing, having won Yun Qiao's favor, immediately took advantage of the situation and suggested, "Yun Qiao, I don't think these professional terms are necessary when treating patients, and patients don't need us to recite these professional descriptions from the book. So, can I not recite these paragraphs? Isn't it enough to just know the general meaning?"
"No," Yun Qiao said seriously, "Medicine is a rigorous discipline. Sometimes, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error. It's not enough to just know the general idea, so there can't be any mistakes."
"Now that you've learned it, you must study it seriously. As a doctor, you must be responsible for your patients."
"The patient has entrusted his life and property to you. How can you have the heart to use your half-baked medical skills to deceive him?"
Although Zheng Wenjing is lazy, he is still responsible. Inspired by Yun Qiao's words, he worked hard for a while.
