Chapter 400 - 365: Wei Medical Hall Branch Goes Viral

The long hours of sitting consultations have allowed Lu Jiu to fully master the technique of the Navel Needle.

At the same time, Lu Jiu also learned the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

However, he has never used this acupuncture technique.

Moreover, after acquiring this acupuncture technique, the system entered a dormant period.

It seems to be updating something.

Currently, the dormant period has lasted for almost a month.

Lu Jiu is also very much looking forward to the surprises the system upgrade will bring him.

After all, as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, to evolve into a complete entity,

one must also master the other four arts of Mountain, Medicine, Fate, Divination, and Astrology.

Since this is the Great Doctor System, one should be able to learn the other four arts as well.

As for how long this dormant period will last, Lu Jiu does not know, as the system did not give any hints.

However, his current medical skills are already sufficient to handle many diseases, and further improvement wouldn’t greatly aid his work.

At most, it would give him a chance to see what a complete traditional Chinese doctor looks like.

With the commencement of the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge competition, more and more children are signing up to participate.

Many parents, regardless of whether their children can do it, became enthusiastic after hearing that there were awards just for signing up.

Of course, there are also parents who are uninterested and, coupled with the lack of time due to work, did not respond to the school’s call to participate in this competition.

Nevertheless, the TV station has already received over six hundred registrations.

This number is actually quite impressive.

In previous years, when the TV station held children’s singing competitions, there were only one or two hundred participants, except for group children’s dance competitions, which had numbers reaching six or seven hundred.

For a traditional Chinese medicine knowledge competition to attract so many children is quite impressive.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast in Jinling City is nearing its end.

Most of the thousands of diabetic foot patients sent to the medical tents have already recovered and left.

Of course, most are mild cases, while some severe cases requiring amputation are still under treatment, and many have passed the critical period, temporarily avoiding amputation.

These situations naturally were relayed to the live broadcast room in real time.

Jinling TV Station found that the popularity of this type of live broadcast persisted for three months and even increased instead of decreasing, so they proactively contacted the Health Commission to see if such activities could become regular.

After all, current traffic is too easy to profit from.

Even official media can’t resist the allure of traffic.

The Health Commission, seeing such good results, immediately contacted Ying Deshuang.

However, the reply was to stop here.

Evidently, Ying Deshuang understood that one round of such publicity was enough.

More would only have a counterproductive effect.

Because traditional Chinese medicine, when facing the vast medical market, is like a small camel; it can bear, but only a little.

If solely because of diabetes, people fully recognize traditional Chinese medicine and endlessly denigrate Western medicine, ultimately it is ordinary people who will suffer.

Even though many diseases persist untreated by Western medicine, it excels in symptom relief.

This is, in itself, a treatment method.

Moreover, many people can accept this.

Therefore, in this event, traditional Chinese medicine benefited, and the burden on Western medicine lightened a bit, and then they took what they could, with everyone pleased.

The only ones unlucky were the pharmaceutical companies.

But these companies have long been making buckets of money, so it’s great to have them lose a bit!

Soon, Jinling City’s three-month joint treatment activity ended, and everything returned to calm.

The discussions on the internet gradually quieted down.

However, in reality, especially in Jinling City, more and more people are seeking traditional Chinese medicine.

It’s not just for diabetes; many people also come for other diseases to see a traditional Chinese doctor.

This change is subtly transforming Jinling City’s healthcare landscape.

The more patients traditional Chinese medicine treats, the more opportunities there are for those studying it to engage with patients, which is crucial for the growth of the new generation in traditional Chinese medicine.

Even though many traditional Chinese medicine institutions in Jinling cannot match the training level of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital for newcomers, over time, they still manage to learn something.

However, in Jinling, after this surge of popularity, it’s not Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine that’s the hottest, but rather the newly opened branch of Wei Medical Hall.

This branch follows the same model as Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.

Initially, many people were unaware of the place, but as more and more people came, they were also referred to the dietary therapy department while receiving treatment.

Once they experienced the dietary therapy services, nearly all patients couldn’t stop praising it.

Some patients even insisted on dietary therapy prescriptions after hearing it could replace traditional Chinese medicine, and didn’t mind taking more time, as long as the treatment was effective and palatable and could even solve their three meals a day, that would be great!

For a big city like Jinling, where most people are workers, they don’t have time to go back home for lunch, let alone cook.

Located amid various office buildings, Wei Medical Hall’s branch was perfectly positioned for its target customers.

Once the dietary therapy department launched, it became an instant hit.

Now, the foot traffic at Wei Medical Hall’s branch is astonishingly high.

Moreover, the dietary therapy department’s success also boosted the popularity of the beauty and skincare department.

Some young men and women, while using dietary therapy to manage sub-health conditions, also started using beauty and skincare department’s formulas.

The key point is, after using these, they found the effects particularly good, prompting them to recommend it in their circles.

So much so that many people were tempted to visit Wei Medical Hall’s branch for treatment.

No way around it; they follow the same rules as Lu Jiu TCM Hospital. You can buy recipes, but only after seeing a traditional Chinese doctor, who will determine which recipe you need.

This approach, naturally, drove up consumption.

But for the young generation, nothing is more important than looking good.

The popularity of Wei Medical Hall’s branch also attracted social media attention.

After a major web influencer visited the establishment, Wei Medical Hall’s branch entered the spotlight of every young person in Jinling City. Every time a web influencer tried to capitalize on the trend, it brought traffic to Wei Medical Hall’s branch.

In just a few months, the branch’s total revenue reached one-twentieth of the main hall’s, and this is without counting pharmaceutical sales.

Even so, it’s incredibly frightening; Wei Medical Hall is a century-old brand, taking three generations to reach its current status.

Yet, they replicated Lu Jiu TCM Hospital’s model, achieving such results in just a few months.

Even Wei Zhengxian had to admit, this is remarkably profitable!

Moreover, it’s earning money while staying true to their principles, without any mental burden.

Even if you cure the patient’s illness, there’s no worry that they won’t come back next time.

Because in today’s societal model, no one can remain healthy continuously, and what they do is merely preventive care, preventing small ailments from escalating.

The profits derived, however, are more than those gained from treating major diseases exclusively.
