I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine

"Have you thought about which direction you want to develop in?" Lu Xuan asked.

Ji Xiuwen shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet. To be honest, I'm a bit confused and don't know which direction suits me best."

Lu Xuan patted his shoulder: "You're still seeing few patients right now, so there's no rush. It's not too late to decide in a while. Actually, Su Kenan also hasn't decided which direction she wants to go in, but she's relatively more inclined towards gynecology. As for you..."

At this point, Lu Xuan pondered for a while before saying, "What do you think about gastroenterology?"

"Gastroenterology?" Ji Xiuwen looked puzzled.

"Yes."

Lu Xuan nodded: "As life gets better and material conditions improve, digestive system diseases are increasing. Why? Isn't it all caused by what we eat?

More and more people are getting digestive system diseases, especially stomach issues. The number of stomach resections due to gastric cancer is countless. I think developing in this area could have great prospects. One day, if you master digestive system diseases, there's no problem in becoming the head of the gastroenterology department at a large Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Although our country values social relationships, it also values capable people.

However, whether you want to develop in this direction is up to you. It's just your first day at the Health Center, so there's no rush. Besides, I won't be leaving the Health Center anytime soon."

Hearing this, Ji Xiuwen nodded gently. This decision can't be made lightly.

But when he heard that Lu Xuan wasn't planning to leave the Health Center anytime soon, he was extremely surprised: "Why?"

"Isn't it better to go to a big hospital? With your ability, even being the head of a department at the City Ninth Hospital wouldn't be a problem. The only thing you lack is time."

"Because..."

Lu Xuan looked up at the starry sky: "I still want to spend some time at the Health Center to accumulate clinical experience and try to improve myself."

"Although I don't know what happened to you during this time, from what I've seen today, you don't lack the clinical experience you're talking about. You have the ability, and you can also improve yourself at a big hospital. There are more opportunities, and the chances of encountering difficult cases are greater." Ji Xiuwen smirked, not believing Lu Xuan's words.

If Lu Xuan were like him, just an assistant to a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor at the Health Center, he might believe it.

But he didn't believe those words at all.

"You don't understand." Lu Xuan looked helpless.

"Right, right, I don't understand, okay?" Ji Xiuwen said irritably.

Then, as if thinking of something, he couldn't help but ask: "You didn't choose to stay at the Health Center because I came, did you?"

"Actually, there's no need."

Ji Xiuwen looked sincere: "Maybe you think staying can help me, but compared to your own future, I hope you go to a big hospital, not stay in this little Health Center. Frankly, how many capable people are willing to stay in a Health Center?

The treatment is not as good as in big hospitals, and the reputation is far inferior. Life is all about fame and fortune. Don't tell me that in your twenties, you've already seen through life and have no thoughts about fame and fortune, just wanting to serve the people.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with serving the people, but going to a big hospital is not serving the people? The outcome is the same, but the treatment is better and the status is higher. Why not?

If you really want to stay at the Health Center, you might as well open a clinic yourself. It's more free, and with your ability, within a year or two, your reputation will spread throughout Yong City. By then, even if you open a clinic, it would probably be bustling."

Lu Xuan didn't know how to explain, so he chose not to anymore and said in a deep voice, "I will choose a suitable time to leave, but not now."

Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't want to say more, Ji Xiuwen didn't bring it up again.

The two walked along the riverside for a while, then Lu Xuan suddenly asked: "By the way, where did you rent your apartment?"

Ji Xiuwen turned his head and pointed to the community opposite the Health Center: "Right across from the Health Center. I think you could rent there too."

"Alright, I'll see if there are any apartments for rent in the next few days. No point wasting free labor."

Lu Xuan had been considering finding a new place, as living far away made commuting really inconvenient, and most of his day was wasted on the road.

"Come on, I was just saying."

"What, my words don't count anymore?"

Ji Xiuwen looked frustrated, "What was I thinking back then."

Lu Xuan burst into laughter, then said, "Alright, enough chatting. I'm heading back. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

...

Meanwhile.

City Ninth Hospital.

Inpatient Department.

Neurology Department Head Ye Xiang was doing night rounds. The Ninth Hospital's neurology department has two wards with a total of 72 beds, including 12 intensive care beds.

Most inpatients are primarily cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and among these patients, stroke victims are the most common.

At this moment, Intensive Care Bed 3, Ye Xiang, with several intern students and a nurse, walked in.

Ye Xiang glanced at the patient, Li Yuanyuan, who was brought in this morning from the bus and frowned: "Has the patient woken up at all?"

"No."

The nurse shook her head: "She's been in a drowsy state since being brought to the hospital. Occasionally, the right side of her body moves, but the left doesn't. Her daughter has called her a few times with no response."

"Left-sided hemiplegia."

Ye Xiang remarked softly upon hearing this, then squinted his eyes: "However, theoretically, she should have woken up by now. Could it be that the bleeding area has expanded?"
