Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1491: Being mediocre is a big taboo

The assessment method chosen by Bian Mu can be considered novel. The man who came forward to apply for the job obviously did not make any special preparations. For a moment, the man seemed a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry... I don't pay enough attention to Western medical theories. I really can't answer such a difficult question." Fortunately, the man didn't pretend and looked calm.

"It's okay! I just asked casually, and I didn't mean to deliberately make things difficult for you. I follow the path of combining Chinese and Western medicine, and at the same time, I try my best to perfect both medicine and medicine, so... occasionally when I see new insights from Western medicine, I am used to retranslating them into Chinese medicine terms. Of course, many times it seems a bit far-fetched and forced, but it's just a habit, don't mind it!"

"No, before I came here, I had heard a little about Doctor Bian's medical practice style. After seeing it today, I found that it is indeed extraordinary. I have learned a lot!"

"You're welcome! Then...do you usually do acupuncture treatments for a large proportion?" Bian Mu asked.

"I haven't done any statistics. I just go with the flow. If the patient is used to acupuncture treatment, I will give him a few needles. Generally speaking, I still prescribe more decoctions." The man told the truth.

"Is that so? Then...how proficient have you become in techniques like burning forest fires and cooling the whole sky? Does it feel a bit abrupt to ask this?" Bian Mu tried to express himself as politely as possible.

"This... my current level is at best just to get qi from the needles, treat the symptoms with the needles, match the aura, and have a slight effect. I can't even reach the levels you mentioned yet... Please forgive me!"

"Nothing! Do you have an appointment at noon?"

"No, today I mainly came here to try out for the job. If I fail, I'll have my mind at rest. At my age now... it's quite embarrassing. I can't just hang around in the hospital all the time, right?! My wife doesn't earn much, and sometimes we get fined. We had a second child last year, and the financial pressure at home is a bit high, so... I wanted to come and try when I saw the opportunity."

"I understand, I understand! These two years have not been easy! In this case, there are still many patients behind me, I have to go over to greet them, and we can have lunch together and chat while eating." Bian Mu said with a smile.

"Thank you! Seeing that you are so popular here, you may not be able to get away at this time, so I won't bother you anymore. Okay? You don't have to be polite to me. Nurse Ye has my contact information, just let her inform me directly." The man was indeed very frank.

"Then... let's make an appointment another day. I'll take you there!"

"No! Go back to your work. We are all in the same industry and we understand each other. I'll go first." After saying that, the man stood up, walked to the door, said hello to Nurse Ye, and left in a hurry without looking back.

……

After get off work at noon, no one rushed home. Instead, they gathered around Bian Mu to hear the recruitment results.

"Although a mature Chinese medicine doctor will most likely achieve nothing in cancer treatment throughout his (her) life, or even not even get close to it, if he (she) is content with mediocrity to the point of not caring about cancer research, the latest treatment concepts, and research results, this person's life will probably be like this. He (she) is tolerant in other aspects, but not in this one! What is the concept of cancer?! A professional barrier that you can't get around in the future! You have to face it sooner or later, right?! He is only about 35 years old, and his overall business status sounds pretty bad! In addition, he has two children. To be frank, he is just like a small trader doing small business. Where is the temperament that a Chinese medicine doctor should have? You can't see it at all. Alas! He can only blame himself. This place is not suitable for him!" As he spoke, Bian Mu still had some emotions in his mouth.

Disappointed with the result?!

Even if we emphasize complementarity and progress together, and seek common ground while reserving differences, there must be some bottom line. That person is really not capable of that.

"Fortunately, my female neighbor has some self-awareness. I conveyed our intention to her and she never mentioned it again. My family has become much quieter now." Zhang Jinsi smiled and interjected a few words.

"It's not that we have high requirements, it's really... after all, there's a 'country' on it! Everyone has to know how important it is!" Bian Mu emphasized the word "country". Invisibly, Bian Mu's words were also a kind of "warning" to everyone present.

Are you trying to scare the tiger? !

"I told you there's no hope, but you're still so polite and insist on testing me in person. According to your recruitment standards, how many qualified people are there in the whole city?! Doctor Luo! Doctor Zhang! Can there be 10?" Nurse Ye teased with a smile.

Hahaha……

Everyone burst into laughter.

At this moment, two men who looked like workers came out of the door, one tall and one short, both in their forties, and looked quite mature.

Nurse Ye went forward and asked, and learned that these two people were entrusted by Chen Yueqing to come here specially to deliver samples of the clinic's plaque.

"Oh! Thank you for your hard work. Just put it on the table over there! Three pieces in total, right? Okay, I'll write a receipt for you two." As he said this, Bian Mu quickly winked at Luo Zhanqi.

Luo Zhanqi immediately understood, went upstairs to select two packs of good cigarettes and two boxes of good tea, packed them into two gift bags, and politely went downstairs to hand them to the worker.

The two of them smiled and refused twice before finally accepting it.

After seeing off the two workers, everyone accompanied Bian Mu to open the outer packaging and stood there to watch for a while.

"Oh! What's the name of our clinic?" Nurse Ye asked in surprise.

"There are three in total. The first character, Xin, is one of the 12 characters in Shennong's Herbal Classic. The second character has a bit of the meaning of being original and unconventional. Why is it capitalized in English? It symbolizes the integration of Chinese and Western medicine. At the same time, there is a little bit of hidden thought. If you are interested, you may as well guess it. There will be a prize for those who guess correctly. The prize will be given out in two days! The last character has to be down-to-earth, right? It is the most frequently used colloquial word in Lijin dialect, nian, Doctor Zhang! How do you locals pronounce it?" After explaining to the end, Bian Mu asked Zhang Jinsi.

"Four tones! Back then, a scholar made fun of us about this, saying that computers are binary and everyone uses the decimal system in daily life, and that people in Lijin are special and are used to the vigesimal system!" Zhang Jinsi followed up on Bian Mu's words and made a joke.

Hahaha……

The crowd roared with laughter.

At this moment, Su Linwen hurried in from outside the door.

"What good news is this? You look so happy!" Su Linwen said as she walked, and casually took off the shoulder bag on her back and placed it next to the examination table.

"Guess the riddle! You're smart, come over and discuss it with us. Just name it. Our boss will also give a riddle, and there will be prizes for those who guess correctly." As she spoke, Nurse Ye pulled Su Linwen to the plaque sample and looked at it carefully.

"What's the 'Er' in 'Xin'? Could it be the homonym of 'New Concept'? That's too outrageous. We have a thing called 'New Concept English' in our industry. How can your medical industry have such a new concept? It's impossible. Then what does this metaphor mean?!" At the end, Su Linwen was a little confused.
