Traveling through time and space: Medical skills travel the world

Chapter 137: Good Doctors Gather

"Song Yao, where are you going today?" Her friend Mei Lan came over from the opposite side, holding a basket of freshly picked fruits in her hands and a warm smile on her face.

"I want to go to the hospital. I heard that the medical skills here are quite reputable. I want to learn some advanced medical techniques." Song Yao replied, with anticipation gleaming in her eyes.

Mei Lan was slightly stunned, then she took Song Yao's arm and said, "You have to be careful, don't be confused by those strange prescriptions. Some time ago, there was a doctor in the village who prepared a poison and said it was a good medicine for healing. The result... you know."

"I understand that the road to medical skills is bumpy, but I want to master real skills and help more people." Song Yao said in a firm tone, and the two walked towards the hospital together.

On the bluestone road in front of the hospital, pedestrians were rushing and bustling. Song Yao walked into the hospital and saw a busy scene in front of her. Doctors and nurses in white fluttering clothes were shuttling between the beds, talking in low voices. She took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Excuse me, is there any doctor who can give me some advice?" She walked up to an older doctor with a pleading look on her face.

The old doctor looked up and glanced at her, not attracted by her beauty at all: "Young girl, medical skills cannot be learned overnight, are you willing to listen to me?"

"Yes!" Song Yao answered immediately, her eyes confident and determined.

The old doctor nodded slightly, then shook his head: "Then you must first know that a doctor must have a kind heart. If you don't have sympathy and compassion for the patient, no matter how superb the medical skills are, it will be in vain."

At this time, a young female doctor named Liu Qing came over. She looked gentle and smiled: "Master, are you teaching the new apprentice again?"

"Liu Qing, how can you talk like that!" The old doctor rolled his eyes at her, but there was a look of doting in his eyes.

"I just reminded her that she should be a kind-hearted doctor like you in the future." Liu Qing teased, then turned to Song Yao and said gently: "If you want to learn, you might as well start with simple prescriptions. I will teach you how to identify common herbs."

"Thank you, Sister Liu Qing!" Song Yao was ecstatic, with a gleam in her eyes.

Afterwards, Liu Qing took Song Yao to the herb garden in the backyard. It was a green place with various herbs growing vigorously in the sun. Liu Qing pointed to a tall herb and explained, "This is ginseng, which is warm in nature and has the effect of invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen. But if it is not used properly, it will have the opposite effect."

Song Yao listened carefully and took notes from time to time. She knew that all this knowledge would become an indispensable weapon in her future journey.

"Would you like to try?" Liu Qing suggested with a smile, "Auntie asked me to go to the pharmacy, maybe you can help me prepare some prescriptions."

"Okay! I will definitely study hard!" Song Yao nodded excitedly.

The two were busy in the pharmacy for a whole day. Song Yao studied enthusiastically and attentively, while Liu Qing taught her patiently like a brother. Finally, the prescription was prepared, and they smiled at each other, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

In the evening, Song Yao walked out of the hospital with a bright smile on her face. Mei Lan was waiting at the door. When she saw her coming out of the hospital, she immediately came forward and asked, "What did you learn today?"

"I learned a lot, especially about medicine and medical theory," Song Yao shared happily, "I feel that I am gradually getting closer to my dream of becoming a doctor."

Mei Lan said enviously: "That's great, I'm proud of you. But remember, as a doctor, you need to be more cautious."

"I understand, Meilan." Song Yao's eyes showed a firm belief, "I will definitely be kind and help those in need."

"Fang'er, what are you going to do today?" Mei Lan walked into the room, looking full of energy, with a newly made fountain pen in her hand.

"I plan to attend a medical exchange meeting," Chen Fang replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I heard that many outstanding doctors will be there, and I want to learn from their experience."

Mei Lan smiled and said, "That's great! You should write down more useful knowledge and share it with me when you come back."

"I will." Chen Fang straightened her clothes and hurried to the venue of the exchange meeting.

The venue was set up in an ancient temple, surrounded by lush old trees, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. Scholars and doctors were everywhere, and they formed groups, sitting together, discussing various medical issues in low voices.

When she entered the venue, Chen Fang felt a strong learning atmosphere, and her heart was filled with emotion. She saw a white-haired old doctor having a lively conversation with a young female doctor, so she walked up to them and bowed slightly: "Two teachers, sorry to bother you."

The old doctor looked up, his face full of kindness, and smiled, "Young girl, are you here to study?"

"Yes, senior." Chen Fang nodded seriously.

"My name is Mr. Lin, and I focus on internal medicine research. What do you want to learn?" the old doctor asked with a gentle look.

"I hope to hear your experience on acupuncture." Chen Fang was a little shy, but her tone was firm, "Because I think this skill can have a good effect on many diseases."

At this time, the young female doctor nodded and praised: "You have a good eye. Acupuncture is indeed very effective in harmonizing qi and blood. My name is Su Wan, and I have also done some research in acupuncture. I might as well tell you about my experience."

Chen Fang was overjoyed after hearing this. She found a seat nearby and listened carefully.

"The key to acupuncture lies in the selection of points and the use of needles. Many doctors often ignore the circulation of qi and blood when understanding meridians." Su Wan's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she spoke. "For example, the Zusanli acupoint can strengthen the spleen and stomach. If used properly, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Zusanli is particularly effective in treating stomach diseases because..." Chen Fang hurriedly wrote down her words, with anticipation on her face.

"Concentrate on breathing and move gently." Elder Lin added with a serious look on his face, "Otherwise, the patient will not only not get relief, but may even suffer more."

As they talked, time passed by, and Chen Fang's mind became brighter and brighter. She carefully asked the two teachers various questions, wishing to learn all the knowledge in one fell swoop.

"I also have some experience in the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine. If there is a chance later, I hope to share it with you." Su Wan suddenly suggested, her tone full of anticipation.

"Of course, I really want to hear it!" Chen Fang replied, with sparks of excitement flashing in her eyes.

After the gathering started, doctors introduced themselves and shared their experiences. Chen Fang felt unprecedented passion and motivation in the sound of reading. Many outstanding doctors shared their experiences in different fields, especially their profound understanding of ancient medicine, which opened her eyes.

"Today's discussion was very meaningful. I hope we can continue it tomorrow." After the meeting, Chen Fang and Su Wan walked side by side on the way back. The moonlight shining on them seemed particularly soft.

"You performed really well today." Su Wan said with a smile, "I saw that you were very focused and asked the right questions."

"Thank you, senior sister! I just want to absorb more knowledge." Chen Fang replied with a sincere face and gratitude in her heart.

"We doctors should help each other. I will try my best to share what I have learned with you." Su Wan said softly, the smile in the corner of her eyes as warm as spring.

Chen Fang silently vowed in her heart that she must cherish this opportunity to learn and become a doctor who can help people in the future. When night fell, the stars twinkled, and her wishes flickered in her heart like lights.
