Chapter 2048 Cognitive Level Must Be Improved

After listening to Bian Mu's detailed explanation, the female doctor surnamed Chen said she was completely convinced. She would frankly explain the condition to the 63-year-old patient the next day and inform his family to make arrangements for follow-up care.

People always praise Bian Mu for his amazing skills, but today they truly witnessed the advantages of the "Digital Medicine" school. Everyone present was amazed. Who knew... a traditional Chinese medicine doctor could be like this?!

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting lively, Bian Mu smiled and turned the topic to the establishment of the museum.

"I've always believed in honesty and openness among colleagues, so to be frank, our clinic has recently been in talks with several doctors at Huikang Hospital about jointly establishing a clinic. Please keep this confidential, as there's been no substantial progress to date. Since you all seem to be quite close to Dr. Gu, you're all probably honest people! Objectively speaking, the TCM practitioners at Huikang Hospital are generally more organized than those here. I worked there myself; the management was quite strict and standardized, and the medical staff developed many good habits. Also, their average age is younger than yours, which is a significant age advantage, making it easier for them to accept new ideas. So… even if I disagree with them on some points in the future, it will likely be amicable. Frankly, I'm not so optimistic about you all in this regard." "You've all been immersed in the streets and alleys for at least ten years, haven't you?! The everyday life and vibrancy of the streets are indeed down-to-earth and an indispensable part of everyone's character. However, you've all been tainted by some of those habits, and they're still somewhat different from the medical ethics advocated by our 'New Concept' Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. So... I suggest that you all go back and have a serious and detailed discussion, the more specific the better. For example, you're all sharing the house, which has indeed lowered the rent costs, but you'll soon face the problem of competing for patients. Before, you were all quite far apart, each running your own clinic, and you could get together occasionally to chat and be quite friendly. Now, you're competing head-on under the same roof. Will you end up tearing each other apart in the future? The joint clinic went bankrupt after only a few days. It's one thing for others to laugh at you, but the key question is, what will you do next?" At this point, Bian Mu felt that he had said too much and quickly stopped talking.

silence……

No more words.

What the curator said is indeed true.

Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Bian Muchong and Gu Yuefeng exchanged a glance, and the two of them called a waiter to add some clear soup for everyone and refill the charcoal.

"Everyone! As Traditional Chinese Medicine develops, it inevitably goes through a transitional period of discarding the false and retaining the true, refining the crude and retaining the essence. When you're out in the clinic, even with a common cold, if your medical philosophy isn't up-to-date, you might easily misdiagnose it. Gradually, some of you start to feel like you're falling behind… Occasionally, a small, unpleasant event can trigger a crisis, and suddenly, your whole life collapses! As your self-confidence shrinks, you become anxious and fearful. I believe some of you might even suspect you're showing early signs of depression, right? Ah! I was the same way back then, constantly sitting on the sidelines, and if I were to be eliminated from our county hospital… I didn't have many friends back then, I was stuck in a rut, unable to move up or down." I was seriously considering buying a motorcycle to take delivery orders as a temporary measure. Back then, if it weren't for Huikang helping me with the transfer procedures in time, the Bian Mu you see today might be running a small stir-fry stall on the street, working hard from dawn till dusk to earn that meager living. Ladies and gentlemen! It's true. During that period, I was always in a gloomy mood, and I could hardly see any sunshine in my heart. If it weren't for my youth, which gave me a few more options for the future than you all, if I had hastily taken out a loan to buy a house, got married, and had children like other classmates, and lost my job, I would have been worried sick overnight. That's an exaggeration. How different would my overall state of mind be from that of you all?! Saying this, feeling a little thirsty, Bian Mu got up and ladled himself a bowl of digestive soup and drank a couple of sips.

"I agree with the academy owner's view. We're all burdened with families, the pressure is immense! New TCM techniques can't be readily applied in a short time. We rushed to gather numbers, trying to band together for mutual support, but in the end, we're the ones who suffer the most. Looking back over the years, isn't that true? The academy owner's delay in agreeing to open the academy is truly for our own good. Today's trip wasn't in vain; at least I heard firsthand what the 'Digital Medicine' school is all about. I was quite shocked. We've been discussing this for at least ten days to two weeks! The academy owner hasn't even met the patients in person, yet he can reconstruct many logical details we could never even imagine based solely on medical records copied from his phone. Isn't that skill terrifying enough?! The academy owner isn't even this old..." "Thirty! Why is that?! Our cognitive level has risen. If our cognitive level doesn't climb to a certain height, we'll definitely start to have ulterior motives soon, and we might even end up becoming enemies! Master! I don't know about others, but I understand a bit better now. I'll definitely reflect on this and report back to you on my level of understanding. Take my advice, everyone, don't be too anxious. No matter what, you've always considered us your own people, just in a different way than those hypocritical guys who only know how to play dumb when it matters! This meal wasn't a waste! Master, let's toast you with soup instead of wine!" At this moment, a male doctor who looked to be in his early forties expressed his true feelings in a very hearty manner.

You could tell he really understood some of what he was saying.

Bian Mu quickly picked up the soup bowl and returned the gesture.

At this point, the atmosphere at the table eased somewhat.

“I used to be so anxious that I couldn’t sleep at night. I tried everything except Western medicine, but nothing worked! After getting to know the master, I gradually realized that at our age, we can’t easily give up. Dr. Ma is absolutely right. We must improve our cognitive level. Otherwise, sooner or later, when we have dinner with the master again, we won’t be able to understand eight or nine out of ten sentences he says. In fact, it will be like hearing gibberish. Wouldn’t we go crazy then?” At this moment, Gu Yuefeng suddenly became a little excited and unexpectedly said something that surprised everyone.

Of course, he was also somewhat emotional.

At this point, several male doctors chimed in, all echoing the central theme: they must do everything in their power to improve their cognitive abilities, otherwise they would either have to work hard to continuously enhance their professional skills or disappear from the field of traditional Chinese medicine altogether.

Finally, only the two female doctors remained, unlike their male colleagues who were as excited. However, it was clear that their hearts were already churning with emotion.

Bian Mu didn't interrupt, letting them express their truest feelings as naturally as possible...
