Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 16: Patients and Newbies

Let Fangyan come to see the patient?
For a moment, Liu Zude thought there was something wrong with his ears.

You were just an assistant just now, but now you’re a attending doctor?
After all the trouble you've been making, you end up being a stepping stone for others?
Liu Zude was stunned for a moment.

wrong! wrong!
Could it be that Old Lu also knows that the guy in front of him is a relative of his?

And is the relationship really that strong?

Many guesses popped up in Liu Zude's mind in an instant.

At this time, Lu Donghua nodded and said:
"He has studied medicine since he was a child, and he is almost capable of seeing patients. Since our store manager Wang has found such a talent among the new employees, then it would be the best arrangement for him to come and see patients with me. It would be a waste of his talent to have him be an assistant."

"Don't hospitals now have the rule that old doctors guide new doctors? Tong Ren Tang can certainly learn from this. In the past, Tong Ren Tang had no young Chinese medicine practitioners. Now that this one has come to our door, there's no reason to send him away, right?"

After hearing this, most people understood that Lu Donghua wanted Fang Yan to follow him to see patients, just like in other hospitals where old doctors guide young doctors.

But in this case, Jia Dapeng's position seems less important.

Liu Zude felt that he had been tricked, and he hurriedly said:

"I have an opinion! I don't agree with this arrangement."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Liu Zude said:
"After all, Tongrentang is still a pharmacy. We mainly sell pills, powders, pastes and pills. The doctors who see patients are just there to attract customers. We don't want to train new doctors like traditional Chinese medicine hospitals do."

"The position of assistant has always existed, and there are clear standards for salary and benefits. But now you have an old employee mentoring a new employee. This position has never existed before, and there is no standard for salary and benefits. So this is completely against the rules, and the superiors will never agree to it."

After he finished speaking, Fang Yan, who was standing beside him, took over and said:

"As long as I can learn from Mr. Lu, I will be paid the same salary as before."

After saying this, he looked at the store manager Wang Aiguo and asked him:

"Manager Wang, there shouldn't be any problem with this, right?"

Wang Aiguo nodded and said:
"If it is just a job transfer within the store and does not involve a change in salary and benefits, there is no need to notify the superior."

"It's the same as Jia Dapeng. He will maintain his previous treatment as an assistant."

After Liu Zude heard this, he hurried over to interrupt:

"No! How can it be the same?"

"Jia Dapeng is an assistant, and he does acupuncture under the guidance of Mr. Lu, but Fangyan needs to see patients himself. If he prescribes the wrong medicine, who will be held responsible?"

Liu Zude looked at Mr. Lu:
"Mr. Lu, I know you are doing this for the good of our store, but you can't have the final say on this matter. It has to be decided by our superiors."

"The brand name of our Tong Ren Tang is that it has experienced Chinese medicine doctors treating patients. What kind of illnesses can a young man who hasn't even grown all his hair treat and what kind of treatments can he provide?"

"If something goes wrong in the end, it will be Tongrentang that will suffer."

After saying this, he said righteously:
"As the deputy store manager, I can't possibly agree to this! I have to be responsible for our store!"

Seeing Liu Zude jumping up and down, Elder Lu remained calm. He slowly said:

"What you said makes sense, but things are not what you think. If I let him see patients, I will definitely keep an eye on the prescriptions he prescribes. Isn't that what it means for an old patient to teach a new patient?"

"And as I said before, I started seeing patients on my own when I was 19. He is 22 now, so he is definitely old enough and has enough experience. With me watching over him, there will be no problems at all."

After hearing this, Liu Zude realized that Lu Donghua was determined to make Fangyan a seeing doctor today.

He asked unwillingly:
"Then...what if something goes wrong? What if the medicine he prescribed kills someone? Who will be held responsible? "

Lu Donghua waved his hand and said calmly:

"There is no chance of that happening. Tong Ren Tang doesn't provide emergency treatment and won't prescribe any drastic prescriptions, so your worries are completely unnecessary."

Liu Zude opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. He really didn't know much about the prescriptions in the pharmacy. He was able to become the deputy store manager because he found a way to get himself in when the ten years were about to end. This place was just a stepping stone for him, and he felt that learning so much was useless.

Now when people talk about this knowledge, he wants to refute it, but his mind is blank.

Seeing that he was speechless, the store manager Wang Aiguo said:

"What Mr. Lu said makes sense. At noon today, Fang Yan independently treated Mr. Chen with acupuncture and prescribed medicine. I saw it with my own eyes. It is indeed very professional. With you, I don't think there will be any safety problems with common diseases."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Zude:

"But since Deputy Manager Liu is worried, I can be your guarantor. If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible. It has nothing to do with you. Is that okay?"

"You...you guys!" Liu Zude was speechless.

He was very angry at the moment. He never expected that things would turn out like this. Although Jia Dapeng became an assistant as he wished, it was of no use to him.

For a moment, he racked his brains but couldn't figure out how to ruin this thing.

He was so anxious that his face turned pale and blue, and he was spinning around in circles like a headless fly.

Seeing his ridiculous look, the store manager Wang Aiguo said:
"Deputy Manager Liu, if you have any comments, you can report to your superiors. I will also report today's arrangements."

"I don't need you to teach me how to do it!" Liu Zude was depressed at the moment, but he was still unforgiving in his words.

But everyone present knew that the outcome of today's game had been decided.

Liu Zude now looks more like a clown.

Even the three people who came with him looked like eggplants hit by frost at this moment.

This time, Liu Zude's plan to take advantage of the opportunity to punish the store manager failed. If the store manager retaliates in the future, they will be the first to bear the brunt.

Only Jia Dapeng, who became an assistant, was in a slightly better mood.

In any case, he has changed from a pharmacist to Mr. Lu's assistant. This is what Mr. Lu himself said. In this way, he can learn more.

After learning from Mr. Lu for half a month, even if the doctor is replaced later, I can still be an acupuncture assistant.

The future is much better than the other two.

In fact, the reason he helped Liu Zude and Wang Aiguo fight was entirely because Liu Zude could help him achieve his goal.

To be honest, he didn't want to offend the store manager.

Who would make enemies everywhere for no reason?

Fortunately, the goal has now been achieved.

As for Liu Zude's dissatisfaction, there was nothing he could do about it.

I am just a latecomer, how can I compare with those who have studied medicine since childhood.

Fang Yan on the other side didn't expect that, although he originally just wanted to be an assistant, he has now skipped the assistant stage and is now seeing patients with Mr. Lu.

If Liu Zude hadn't made trouble here today, he would not have had this unexpected gain.

Actually, we should thank Liu Zude for turning a clumsy thing into a good thing.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Liu Zude.

When Liu Zude saw this, he was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.
