Chapter 455 Training
In the afternoon, Su Nuannuan went to the hospital to check on Hu Shujie's recovery.

He's awake now, but he's still on an IV drip. Judging from his complexion, Su Nuannuan knows he's in good condition.

After completing the basic examinations, Su Nuannuan began her work in the medical department.

The first issue is the talent problem in the medical school.

Lu Hua really couldn't help Su Nuannuan. The hospital was short-staffed, and at most, they could only send in two nurses to help each day.

Something is better than nothing, so Su Nuannuan finally agreed.

Since we want to train surgeons, we should start with the place closest to us.

Although Lu Hua couldn't give information to his own people, he had access to the hospital's records at any time. Not to mention, Ding Yongjian's office was right next to the medical department; whenever Su Nuannuan encountered trouble, she could turn to him for help.

Su Nuannuan retrieved the information of all the doctors at Yuanhua County People's Hospital.

There are a total of seventeen doctors in the hospital, including seven traditional Chinese medicine doctors and ten Western medicine doctors.

Traditional Chinese medicine? Forget it, Su Nuannuan can't teach that. She should just focus on Western medicine.

Of the ten Western doctors, three were nearing retirement. Su Nuannuan excluded them as well.

The remaining seven younger doctors were Su Nuannuan's main training targets. Lin Guangqi, Guo Jinlin, Miao Qian, and Ding Tong were among them.

Compared to other doctors, Su Nuannuan knew these four people better, making it easier for her to train them.

Therefore, in the first phase, Su Nuannuan wants to focus mainly on the four people.

Lin Guangqi is strong, has excellent eyesight, and is very skilled in orthopedics. Su Nuannuan plans to let him develop in this area. Guo Jinlin is a bit eccentric and is more suited to general surgery, particularly basic surgical procedures.

Miao Qianren is meticulous and resilient, making her well-suited for neurosurgery and thoracic surgery. Ding Tong is the most hardworking among them, but also the least gifted.

However, Su Nuannuan's observations revealed that Ding Tong possessed a high aptitude for plastic surgery. In 60s China, almost no doctors paid attention to this specialty.

This led to the development of plastic surgery in China lagging behind that of other countries. A minor plastic surgery procedure would cost several times more abroad. Yet, celebrities still seem to enjoy it.

Although plastic surgery may not seem like a lucrative field right now, it could become very profitable when China's economy takes off.

Moreover, there are almost no plastic surgeons nowadays, so if Ding Tong were trained, she would be very popular.

Of course, more importantly, Ding Tong also has some talent in plastic surgery.

After confirming the direction of their training, Su Nuannuan decided to find a time to have a good talk with the four of them.

As for the remaining three, Su Nuannuan plans to have them attend classes with Lin Guangqi and the other three every day to see which aspect they are suited for, and then train them in that direction.

The plan was thus decided.

When Su Nuannuan finished get off work, she asked them to come to the medical department and told the four of them about her plan.

People in this era highly value hard work and perseverance.

Especially for doctors, a profession that heavily relies on experience and talent. Good doctors need to be trained. However, given the current situation in China, the country lacks the capacity to train them. They need to find their own way.

Now that Su Nuannuan, this expert surgeon, has offered to teach them, how could they possibly disagree?

Miao Qian was also very excited after hearing this.

Despite her gentle demeanor, Miao Qian is the strongest of the four.

As a female doctor who rose through the ranks among a group of men, Miao Qian never felt that others were better than her. If placed on the same starting line, she would definitely do better.

However, she didn't quite understand. Thoracic surgery was one thing, but neurosurgery? What the heck?

"Nuan Nuan, is this neurosurgery procedure useful?"

Seeing Miao Qian's conflicted expression, Su Nuannuan smiled and explained.

"Useful, very useful! Neurosurgery involves a lot of knowledge, and you, Sister Miao, are definitely the most suitable person to learn from." Su Nuannuan didn't find this somewhat ignorant question absurd.

After all, Miao Qian only graduated from high school. If there hadn't been such a severe shortage of doctors back then, Miao Qian wouldn't have been chosen to become a doctor.

Su Nuannuan didn't have too many requirements, since the conditions in other places, apart from big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, were similar to those in their hospital.

Educational background is no longer important; what matters is talent and hard work.

What Su Nuannuan needs to do is to build the pillars of China's future medical field.

Perhaps her strength is insignificant, but as Chairman Mao said, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

After setting her goal, Su Nuannuan returned home and began frantically writing materials.

At this moment, Su Nuannuan's mind was like a vast medical database. Drawing on her own experience, she began compiling information in easily understandable language.

Seeing Su Nuannuan hunched over the table, writing furiously, Chu Mingzhou poured her a glass of juice and handed it to her.

"Freshly squeezed, have a taste."

Su Nuannuan put down her pen, stretched, took the juice, and smiled.

"Thank you, Minnesota."

During her break, Su Nuannuan thought about the patent registration for traditional Chinese medicine preparations.

"Mingzhou, the medicine formula you developed hasn't been patented?"

Chu Mingzhou nodded and said.

"It's been done. However, we're being cautious with communication with outsiders right now; it needs to be handled by higher-ups."

Patent registration is essential. It's not that Chinese people nowadays value this aspect, but rather that some foreigners have already set their sights on Chu Mingzhou.

They knew that the prescription Chu Mingzhou possessed was valuable and useful. Two years prior, numerous enemy agents had approached Chu Mingzhou, hoping to obtain the prescription.

In the end, it was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that came up with a solution: they registered all the prescriptions developed by Chu Mingzhou as patents, and only then did the outsiders stop.

However, other prescriptions did not receive such preferential treatment.

Su Nuannuan relaxed her brow. Since there were precedents, it should be feasible to register ancient Chinese prescriptions as patents as well.

Now, the most important thing is to get ahead of Little Baka Kingdom.

So, Su Nuannuan said to Chu Mingzhou.

"Our country has so many ancient prescriptions, why not register them as patents?"

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou have both studied traditional Chinese medicine. They've researched many formulas passed down from their ancestors, finding them to be highly valuable and no less effective than modern Western medicine.

Chu Mingzhou thought for a moment and then said.

"Perhaps everyone thinks that this is our own property, and it doesn't matter whether we register it or not."

Su Nuannuan could sense that Chu Mingzhou didn't care when he said those words.

Yes, these ancient remedies were passed down from our Chinese ancestors; they are our own. Who would have thought that other shameless countries would openly steal them?

Su Nuannuan covered her face, sighed, and said.

"No, we still need to register them. I heard that Little Baga Kingdom is already preparing ancient prescriptions from the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases and the Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber, and wants to register them as patents of their own country."
