Chapter 367 - 333: Nobody Wants to Leave
The class time flew by quickly.
After class, Lu Jiu assigned the kids a homework of reading comics, and then left the classroom.
Tang Yi happened to be in the hallway during the break.
"Brother Lu!"
Lu Jiu heard the voice and left the school with him.
"In a month’s time, the final exams will be here, and our traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) exam will also start. I think your class will probably take first place this time!" Tang Yi said with a smile.
Lu Jiu replied with a smile, "Are you so sure?"
Tang Yi chuckled, "Of course, with the learning atmosphere in your class, apart from ours, there’s no other class that compares. Dr. An is quite good at livening up the class, but I’ve heard from him that if even half of the students actually listen to him, they’d be lucky."
"As for the other doctors’ classes, I guess they’re about the same. How can they compare with your class?"
Lu Jiu laughed, "It seems like you’ve already considered our class as your competitor?"
Tang Yi grinned, "Of course, I told those little guys that if they outperformed your class, I’d give them some rewards."
Lu Jiu laughed, "Looks like I’ll have to motivate them too."
Tang Yi burst into laughter, "It’s useless, Brother Lu. The end-of-term TCM assessment is sure to be related to the textbooks. I know many of your students have already studied beyond the syllabus, but the maximum score is one hundred. Even if your students have the ability for one hundred and twenty points, they can’t show it. So, it’s still uncertain who will win!"
Indeed!
After all, it’s the first year of introducing TCM into primary and secondary schools. The TCM exams are definitely in an exploratory phase, and the questions won’t be too difficult.
As long as the students study seriously, they should be able to answer the exam questions.
Lu Jiu smiled, not taking the exam too seriously.
Initially, he taught these students to help them learn more about TCM health knowledge. Good grades would be great, but it’s okay if they don’t achieve them.
If high exam scores can motivate these kids to continue studying TCM, then it’s naturally something to be taken seriously.
"How about you? How have you been doing at the hospital lately?" Lu Jiu asked.
Ever since Tang Yi arrived, he has been studying in the andrology clinic.
Recently, Lu Jiu also brought Grado to the hospital, and doctors from Wei Medical Hall started coming over to learn and exchange ideas.
For ordinary doctors like Tang Yi who are on the front line, Lu Jiu also wanted to know about their learning progress.
So, occasionally, he would chat with Peng Yan and other doctors to understand the situation.
If any areas needed improvement, he would immediately give feedback to the management to make prompt corrections.
"Great! I feel like I’ve learned more in the past couple of weeks than I have in the last year or two, and it’s all very practical. For example, Professor Gardo taught us the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique, which is really easy to pick up and incredibly effective. With just a couple of needles, many minor ailments in patients can be cured on the spot."
"However, mastering it to treat more complex diseases is quite challenging. Mastery over Yin Yang Five Elements and understanding the internal organ changes in diseases is required to apply the Acupuncture Technique effectively. If there’s an issue in differentiation, or if the wrong points are chosen, there will be no effect."
"After learning the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique in recent days, I’ve also practiced it on many patients clinically. The success rate is about forty percent, but many patients have not achieved the expected results. However, with Director Zuo overseeing, I’m not worried about any incidents, and I’ve been more daring in my practice compared to when I was at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."
"Most importantly, after coming here, my salary skyrocketed. Sometimes it even feels like the money is burning a hole in my pocket..."
Seeing Tang Yi’s somewhat guilty expression, Lu Jiu couldn’t help but laugh.
Not only Tang Yi, but even Peng Yan has said similar things to him.
Many doctors in the hospital now think their salaries are too high, especially some directors. After the management reviewed their disease cure rates and asked if they wanted to increase their consultation fees, each of them said it was enough and there was no need to increase further.
Because most directors can earn a million annually.
Further increases in salaries don’t mean much to them.
It’s not that they don’t like money, but they’re not in need of it.
Some doctors from Jinling, with director-level capabilities, generally come from well-off families, or they wouldn’t have chosen to study TCM; those few who didn’t come from wealthy backgrounds don’t lack money now that they’ve become directors at this age.
People like An Xianda who were in Nanhe didn’t earn as much as they do now. So, being able to earn so much in a small place like Jianghan, they’re delighted.
As for the younger doctors, they are still striving, but given the hospital’s policies, reaching a million annual salaries isn’t limited to directors; everyone can achieve it.
It can be said, the current wage level at the Lu Jiu TCM Hospital leaves no doctor dissatisfied.
Especially after Wei Medical Hall established a partnership with Lu Jiu TCM Hospital, many young doctors expressed they didn’t want to leave.
Previously, there was hesitation because the platform at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital was too small. Even though the salary was adequate, the growth prospects were too limited.
Now, with a top TCM Clinic giant from Jinling joining, the platform has expanded significantly.
Perhaps, when their skills improve, they can use Lu Jiu TCM Hospital as a stepping-stone to join Wei Medical Hall.
It’s fair to say, after the trip from Jinling, the staff at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital became more stable and cohesive.
With everyone intent on staying, the momentum of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital in Jianghan is unstoppable.
"As long as you’re treating patients genuinely, that money rightfully belongs to you. Those doctors who exploit patients for money are the ones truly holding burning hot money. We, however, have a clear conscience!" said Lu Jiu.
"Mm-hmm!" Tang Yi agreed wholeheartedly!
...
Jianghan TV Station.
Column Department.
"Producer Yan, we’ve got another citizen calling, saying Lu Jiu TCM Hospital cured his dad’s cardiovascular disease, asking us to help promote it."
"Again? How many is that now?"
"I’ve lost track, but there must have been thirty or forty at least."
"Goodness, at this rate, the column department might end up being solely for promoting Lu Jiu TCM Hospital."
"Healthy Jianghan Live Stream, their doctors appear on it every week, and we haven’t charged any promotional fee whatsoever."
"And charging them a promotional fee!? Do you have any idea what level their hospital directors are? I heard the deputy director, upon knowing, contacted Producer Yan for Lu Jiu TCM Hospital’s leadership’s phone number, just to take his parents there for treatment! I’m telling you, as long as Lu Jiu TCM Hospital’s doctors stay, our station will never be able to charge a fee."
"True, if we maintain good relations with them, it might make accessing treatment more convenient in the future. I heard that appointments at their hospital have to be made at least a day in advance now."
"The main thing is, they really can cure diseases. Those few cerebral palsy children at the welfare home we filmed earlier, some of them can barely walk now."
"What, really? Cerebral palsy kids can be cured?"
"If you don’t believe it, go see for yourself. Also, some from the disability federation are receiving treatment at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital, and several have shown good recovery so far."
