Chapter 2410 Mental Disorientation
Before he knew it, whether he liked it or not, Bian Mu had inevitably begun to explore the field of traditional Chinese medicine in cancer treatment.

Bian Mu couldn't help but secretly remind himself that this kind of thing could only be limited to outside the National Medical Center for the time being, and cancer patients could not be arranged to go online to the center for the time being.

Throughout the morning, Bian Mu saw at least six or seven asthma patients. Fortunately, most of them were allergic reactions, so the specific treatment was not too difficult. It just took a lot of time. Some patients needed acupuncture, and the time to wake up from the acupuncture was also relatively long. By the time it was almost lunchtime, Bian Mu suddenly felt much more tired than usual.

After stretching a bit, Bian Mu thought she'd find a restaurant with light flavors to grab a quick bite and rest, since the afternoon's workload probably wasn't too heavy.

Perhaps I should consider hiring one or two assistants. One could perform acupuncture treatments on my behalf, and the other could perform massage, bone setting, and other treatments. I would then treat the most difficult cases myself.

However, on second thought, aren't the vast majority of patients going through all the trouble of getting an appointment with us precisely for the best treatment? If we let an assistant or someone else do it for them, wouldn't they just go to other major hospitals or traditional Chinese medicine clinics?
Behind every prestigious reputation lies hard work. Hiring an assistant to do the work is not impossible, and some patients may accept it. However, most patients will likely harbor some resentment. Over time, the prestigious reputation of the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic will be tarnished.

Forget it, let's just hold on for a few more years!
"Should we consider taking on a few decent apprentices at this stage?! It would be great, but I'm afraid I might not be able to handle the time and energy... Besides, it's not easy to find a decent apprentice that you can just recruit. What if you make a mistake and waste all your time?" Looking out the window at the street scene, Bian Mu sat there pondering how many years he could endure this kind of high-intensity work.

Accountant Yu recovered faster than everyone expected and gradually returned to a normal life. The Yu family's mood improved day by day, and their enthusiasm for life gradually increased. They would occasionally cook some special dishes to bring to the clinic to share with their colleagues.

Bian Mu was sitting there in a daze when she saw Dr. Gong and Accountant Yu walking over with a box of dumplings.

"Boss! Shrimp and three-delicacy filling, do you like it?" Dr. Gong asked with a smile.

"Oh my! Accountant Yu packed this! It seems you're getting more and more energetic. You're enjoying the food!" As she spoke, Bian Mu got up, took the two lunch boxes, and gestured for her two female colleagues to sit down opposite her.

“Teacher Yu is getting on in years, and with Qingming Festival over, it’s time for her to have some ginseng tea.” As she spoke, Bian Mu picked up a few blank medical records and listed a tea recipe with American ginseng as the main ingredient, then handed it to Accountant Yu.

“Your father suffered a great loss of health. Seeing you getting better day by day, he is relieved but subconsciously prone to feeling ‘displaced.’ You are not fully recovered yet, and Teacher Yu is focused on improving your nutrition. He hasn’t been able to take care of his own physical and mental well-being. You have to be careful! Otherwise, once you are fully recovered, Teacher Yu may easily fall ill, without any obvious signs beforehand. After all, we run a clinic; we can’t be like ordinary people on the street. We need to have some contingency plans.” Bian Mu tasted a dumpling without dipping sauce and casually reminded him of these points.

"Really? Well... what should she do?" Dr. Gong asked quickly. She and Accountant Yu were like sisters, so she naturally cared a lot about each other. "There are some things I can't say..." Bian Mu continued eating her dumplings, smiled, and replied casually.

"Boss! You mean my dad should find a companion too?" Accountant Yu treated her boss like family, so she spoke her mind directly.

"At first glance, it might seem a bit... well... as people get older, they really do respect worldly customs more and more, it's true! At a certain age, no matter how great a person is, the more mundane their private life, the longer they live, and the less likely they are to develop various age-related diseases. Since we're on this topic, we really need to take this seriously! Before, Teacher Yu was worried about how you would struggle through the rest of your life, that you were too focused and neglected everything else, that your mental state... Dr. Gong knows, the mental state we're talking about is a professional term in Traditional Chinese Medicine, not the same concept as the everyday 'mental state.' An overly tense mental state is actually already in a certain pathological state." "Now that you've recovered so quickly, the old man's mind is too relaxed, which could easily lead to a rebound in heart rate decline, or at least cause problems like chronic myocardial ischemia. Initially, there are usually no obvious symptoms, but when everyone is most careless, hey! it just strikes, catching you completely off guard, it's no joke. So… at times like this, you have to learn to go with the flow… If you don't mind too much, you should consider finding Teacher Yu a companion. Even if you have to settle, you should at least find a very decent caregiver; anyway, your and Teacher Yu's combined salaries should cover the expenses!" Bian Mu pointed out some key issues that people easily overlook to Accountant Yu, directly suggesting that she find Teacher Yu a companion.

"This is my fault! I've been too busy with my own things all day, which is a real problem... But... given my dad's personality, he definitely wouldn't accept such an arrangement. A nanny, however, is something we can consider..." As she spoke, a somewhat troubled expression appeared on Accountant Yu's face.

“We’re all so familiar with each other now, and you’ve been in our hospital for so long, you must have noticed some things. There’s no one else here, so let’s talk quietly about some taboos related to metaphysics… According to old sayings, you and your father are at the point of ‘exchanging happiness’ now. In layman’s terms, it means… the better you recover, the sooner you’ll get married, and the happier your little family will be, the more things will have to be reduced for Teacher Yu…” At this point, worried about upsetting Accountant Yu, Bian Mu stopped talking and didn’t continue.

Upon hearing this, Accountant Yu was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.

"The boss is just giving a warning. The mystical implications are very rich, and it's not as simple as it sounds, right, boss?" Dr. Gong quickly followed up on Bian Mu's words and comforted Accountant Yu. She wasn't worried about Accountant Yu crying out loud, since there were no outsiders present in the clinic at the moment.

"Don't worry! Nowadays, our medical control capabilities are unmatched by our peers. Anyway, there are no outsiders here right now. To put it bluntly, even those famous doctors of the older generation aren't necessarily much better than us. Metaphysics and the core of traditional Chinese medicine are of the same origin. It's not like we're playing tricks on people, so there's nothing to be ashamed of! Therefore, as long as we take good care of things, what could possibly happen to Teacher Yu?! Right? I just did some calculations, and it's really time to consider hiring a suitable caregiver. Maybe... having a caregiver will help you recover even faster," Bian Mu suggested with a smile.

“I’m worried that my dad won’t get along with people…” Accountant Yu replied with concern.

"Actually... it's just a matter of spending more money to replace a few more. You'll get used to it gradually," Bian Mu replied with a smile.

Just then, the three of them saw four or five people walk in through the door, three of whom were foreigners.
