Practicing business and practicing medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine has retained many fine traditions, one of which is: earning money from the rich to treat the common people.

When I was a child, my grandfather often said that if you want to be a good doctor, you can't think about making money all day long, otherwise, you will probably end up with nothing.

My grandfather recalled that in his impression, any decent Chinese medicine doctor seemed to be a child of a good family. The worst one had more than ten acres of thin land at home. People from poorer families had better not learn Chinese medicine. It's not easy to get rich, but it will burden you and delay your life in the end.

As time goes by, some of the old phenomena that my grandfather mentioned are no longer appropriate. However, the idea of ​​popular medicine has left a deep imprint in the depths of Bian Mu's young heart.

When I was in college, a female lecturer in the department who taught "Introduction to Chinese Medicine" also mentioned similar topics many times in class. The teacher believed that Chinese medicine research must be aristocratic, and some top-notch ultimate figures must be concentrated to re-sort, identify, and screen traditional Chinese medicine many times. Moreover, in the future, it is inevitable to take the development path of combining Chinese and Western medicine and using the West for Chinese medicine.

However, when it comes to Chinese medicine treatment, she advocates taking a popular path and maximizing the diversity analysis of disease types. On this basis, Chinese medicine will return to the embrace of Chinese studies and truly become a popular medicine that benefits and protects the people.

Therefore, the concept of popularization of Chinese medicine has had a profound impact on Bian Mu's medical practice.

In fact, the National Medical Hall has already opened, and the general direction of walking on two legs of commercialization and popularization must not be shaken. Nurse Ye and others have openly or secretly opposed the opinions, and Bian Mu can no longer fully tolerate them.

If it really doesn't work... I can only politely pay Nurse Ye and others to find another job.

Even if he thought so, if the day came when they would turn against each other completely, Bian Mu might not be able to be so cruel. Anyway, the four of them got along really well, and there was nothing wrong with his colleagues advocating to earn more money through ability and hard work.

For a while, Bian Mu was really a little embarrassed. Besides... it was quite troublesome technically, and he really couldn't deal with it hastily for a while.

...

At noon that day, just after get off work, Bian Mu called the herbalist Lao Pei.

"Uncle Pei! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to visit Grandpa Liang. I just closed my stall and wanted to go over to have a meal with the old man. Is it convenient for you?"

"Hey! I'm not used to the city. It's really not as comfortable as the mountains. I've been bored these two days! Great! It's a good time to go out and relax. I have some good wine here. You can discuss with Grandpa Liang and see what he wants to eat. I'll bring some over."

"Okay! Wait a minute!" After saying that, Bian Mu hung up the phone.

Forest ranger Old Liang was pickling pickles at home. When Bian Mu called him, the old man naturally invited them to go over to chat. The old man was not polite at all. He said that he didn't even have some decent fruits at home, so he asked Bian Mu and Old Pei to prepare some and bring them over.

The old man has a really good personality!

There are always a lot of good teas in the clinic. Bian Mu got up and searched for them. He selected three well-packaged top-grade teas and packed them in bags. One box had to be presented to Old Pei.

Afterwards, Bian Mu called the herbal farmer Lao Pei to discuss who should bring what and who should not. After changing his clothes, Bian Mu said hello to Luo Zhanqi and went straight to the subway station.

…

Two-finger golden hairtail, Xinluo river shrimp, white-fried chicken nuggets from Wang Laoqi... Bian Mu prepared a lot of good ingredients to suit Lao Liangtou's taste.

Lao Pei picked the best fine tea and opened a box. While brewing it, he chatted with Lao Liangtou.

Bian Mu sat by the kitchen door and cleaned up the fish and shrimps...

"Master Liang! Uncle Pei! Hasn't the Chinese Medical Clinic started trial operation? I plan to open a channel for civilians to see doctors, but... haven't the fees for consultations and other things on my side been raised? After the move, if I want to lower them, Nurse Ye and the others will definitely be upset. In less than half a year, it is estimated that only Zhang Jinsi will be able to stay. Even if it is our pharmacist, we will break up! To maintain the existing charging mechanism, I can only open another affordable area and charge separately, but how is that possible! It will be a mess in less than a week. The hospital can open a green charging channel for special groups with senior citizen cards, military cards, student cards, etc., but it seems that this is not possible at the Chinese Medical Clinic, right? You two are knowledgeable, please give me some ideas!" While cleaning up the ingredients, Bian Mu raised his voice and briefly talked about his recent confusion about charging.

"Did you hear that? He has been in the city for less than three years, but he has already learned bad things! He is not here to have a meal, but to ask for advice. This guy! He will definitely have problems if he touches fame and fortune." Old Liang immediately made a few jokes to Bian Mu.

"Haha... Xiao Bian! Did you hear that? Mr. Liang is right! You have to come and sit here from time to time when you are free in the future, and you have to choose the best tea, remember!" The herbal farmer Old Pei helped a little.

Hahaha...

The three of them laughed.

"I heard that Liang Xiangyin has started to practice medicine in your clinic?!" Old Liang asked casually.

Although he is so old, Old Liang has some real kung fu. The energy in his dantian shakes lightly, without any effort, and every word transmitted to Bian Mu's ears is clear and accurate.

"It has been at least ten days and a half months. The old man's kung fu has slowly revived. The number of orders for him to make appointments on the software we usually use is increasing day by day!" Bian Mu started to wash the vegetables and responded loudly.

"There is still a lot of charlatanism in him. Your friendship with his son is a matter of your generation. You still have to be careful about him...how much does he charge?" Lao Liangtou asked casually. ask.

"The registration fee is only one hundred, regardless of high or low, and everyone is treated equally. However... the old man advocates paying it afterwards. As long as the patient feels that he has not seen any effect, he can withdraw it afterwards. All fees will be waived. If he feels that the old man sees it It’s okay. If you come back next time, just pay the last consultation fee; acupuncture, Medicinal moxibustion is charged according to the course of treatment. On average, a course of treatment only costs about one to two hundred yuan. The old man said that there is a cap and the maximum charge is 500 yuan. If the condition is more complicated and severe, he will refuse it. Except for cancer patients, they are usually recommended to me." Bian Mu responded loudly while chopping vegetables.

"Then haven't you already started to implement a dual-track charging system?! That's nonsense!" Lao Liangtou responded with a smile.

"You are still young after all. You didn't think everything through from the beginning. This is not an afterthought. Liang Xiangmin's background is more complicated than that of Sima Kui! There are three brothers, but the one named Cao is relatively simple. , you have retired to the countryside early and lived a peaceful life like ordinary people. You have good intentions and let him He came out to relax, and lent him such a good medical practice. There are many things. Listening to what you said, you didn’t make any calculations beforehand. Mr. Liang is right. In fact, you have already taken two toll-paying routes. , It’s impossible to change it now, so why worry about it so much?” Yao Pei, a drug farmer, expressed his opinion next to him.

Hearing this, Bian Mu realized that he was indeed somewhat emotional...
