I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 205 - 174: Drafting the New Hospital System Plan

At night, Lu Jiu was reading in his room when he suddenly received a call from Huang Fusheng. As soon as Lu Jiu pressed the answer button, the first thing he heard was, "Hehehe, have you made up your mind yet?"

He really is quite anxious.

Lu Jiu couldn't help but smile, "Teacher, it's only been a few days."

Huang Fusheng replied, "Making a decision is like dating someone. Whether or not you like them, you can tell at first sight. There's no need to think about it for so long."

Uh...

That truly is straightforward.

Lu Jiu laughed, "Teacher, if I agree to become the director, will the hospital be entirely under my control?"

Huang Fusheng laughed, "Then let me be honest with you, not entirely, because once the hospital is established, there are too many areas that need to be managed. You can't handle it all by yourself. But in the hospital, your voice will undoubtedly be the most important, as long as your proposals are feasible. Even if they are too idealistic or have mistakes, the hospital is willing to give them a try."

"That's the conclusion that Principal Shen and I have reached after discussing. A new hospital requires new attempts. As the director, you should boldly propose any new ideas. We're not afraid of making mistakes or losing money, as long as the hospital can continue to operate normally and help more people in Jianghan. Whether the hospital makes money or not, Old Shen and I really don't care."

"When you reach our age, money no longer matters. Of course, you shouldn't lose too much for us, since we're using our retirement funds, so be careful."

After listening to Huang Fusheng, Lu Jiu was a bit surprised.

From the beginning, he hadn't thought the hospital would be completely his say. After all, considering the plans of Huang Fusheng and Shen Congwei, this hospital was meant to coordinate with the herbal base and national policies, effectively serving as a demonstration hospital. Of course, there wouldn't be just one demonstration hospital, but failure would definitely have consequences.

That they would give him the absolute first say, and are willing to try even if they think there are mistakes, is honestly a very generous concession.

Imagine, would you leave the management of a business venture in the hands of a young person who had never done it before?

Certainly not!

"Teacher, do you really believe I can manage a hospital?" Lu Jiu asked.

Huang Fusheng laughed, "Hehehe, I don't believe it, but seeing as you resist the existing rules so much, you clearly have your own thoughts, especially since you understand The Book of Changes. You probably have a broad understanding regarding how traditional medicine should survive."

"That's why, when you decide to become this director, Old Shen and I will conduct an assessment of you."

Lu Jiu asked curiously, "An assessment?"

Huang Fusheng laughed, "It means we want you to write a hospital policy plan. This report will also determine how much influence you have as a director. After all, we can invest in the hospital, but operating a hospital requires more people. Old Shen and I can back you up, but you have to have the ability to win people over yourself. You already have the medical skills, and you must also have a long-term plan for the hospital. How about it, is this challenge difficult?"

Lu Jiu smiled wryly, "Teacher, it's not just difficult!!"

Huang Fusheng laughed, "Well, I don't care. You already agreed, so hurry and write the report. Old Shen and I can review and revise it for you."

Lu Jiu immediately agreed, "Okay."

Huang Fusheng said, "That's it, then. Hanging up now."

Lu Jiu looked at the phone screen, shaking his head with a wry smile.

Writing a hospital policy plan is a brand new challenge for Lu Jiu.

However, he indeed has a plan for traditional medicine in mind. He just never systematically put it down on paper.

Since Huang Fusheng asked for it, Lu Jiu also wanted to compile his years of reflection on the rules into a report.

In the next moment, Lu Jiu opened his computer, clicked on Word, and slowly typed a few words.

"Initial Draft for Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital System Construction"

...

Lu's Clinic.

Sun Dan sat across from Lu Jiu.

At this moment, her complexion was visibly different from before. Not only was the pallor reduced, but her cheeks also had some blood flow, and her eyes were entirely different from before.

In terms of spirit, she resembled a normal person. Just by appearance, it's hard to tell she's still a cancer patient.

"Not bad, you're recovering very well. Do you still have a cough now?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Barely. Ever since the medication change, I stopped coughing much after three days," Sun Dan replied with a smile.

Her day-by-day recovery greatly strengthened her will to survive. She no longer needed others to encourage her as before.

This is the power of a positive cycle.

Lu Jiu's medication acted as a catalyst, steering Sun Dan's body towards a positive direction at a crucial moment. In fact, she contributed to the subsequent process because her psychological drive to survive would also activate the self-healing capabilities of her Five Viscera. It's like when someone is in a bad mood, everything feels off, but when they're happy, everything tastes delicious, and they are enthusiastic about life — a similar principle.

Of course, Lu Jiu's role in helping Sun Dan overcome anxiety and fear cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, no matter how good the mood, one cannot reverse an inevitable fate.

"Then keep taking these medications. I'll let you know when it's time to switch," Lu Jiu said with a smile.

The medication Lu Jiu switched to was the same as what Shi Zixiong's mother took.

With breast cancer metastasized to the lungs, it naturally resembled Shi Zixiong's mother's lung cancer.

According to the principle of treating different diseases with the same approach, Lu Jiu decided to try the same prescription on Sun Dan, and it turned out to be very effective.

Combined with acupuncture, Sun Dan's recovery speed was surprising even to Lu Jiu.

It shows that Lu Jiu's progress in medical skills has simultaneously enhanced his treatment methods in an imperceptible manner.

Even though the numerous basic rewards aren't as fast as ultimate skills or skills upgrades, accumulated enough, quantitative changes naturally lead to qualitative changes.

"Hmm, Dr. Lu, can I ask you something?" Chen Muyao asked.

"Go ahead," Lu Jiu replied.

"Are you teaching Chinese medicine knowledge to children at the Experimental Primary School?" Chen Muyao inquired.

"Hehehe, how did you know?" Lu Jiu laughed.

Chen Muyao pursed her lips, "Our Dou Dou is in your class. Last week, she said there's a Chinese medicine teacher with the surname Lu at school. I wondered if it could be you, Dr. Lu, and it turned out to be true."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu remembered there being a small girl in his class, "Is Zhang Doudou your daughter?"

Chen Muyao laughed, "Yes, Dou Dou has been saying how amazing Teacher Lu is, that just by holding a child's hand, you can tell what they've done, even what they ate the day before. She also brought back a comic book yesterday. I noticed it didn't look like an official textbook, so it must have been made by you, Dr. Lu."

Lu Jiu laughed, "Just a little something for the children to enjoy."

Chen Muyao laughed, "It's more than just enjoyment. After finishing her homework yesterday, Dou Dou was immersed in that comic book and kept reading its lines. If she didn't understand something, she'd ask her dad to teach her. She said she wanted to memorize all the lines because it was a task set by the teacher, and there would be a reward for completing it."

Oh!

She's that serious!

Lu Jiu didn't expect the kids to be so eager for a reward.

"And guess what? It was just a comic book at first, but after her dad and I read it, we found it quite interesting too. So we started memorizing alongside her. Now, even I know what the Five Viscera like and dislike. Hehehe."

Chen Muyao covered her mouth with a laugh.

Oh?

An unexpected gain?

Lu Jiu asked, "Do you like reading it too?"

Chen Muyao laughed, "Why wouldn't we? I find it not only interesting but also useful. While children might not fully understand it, for us adults, the content is just right. It's just a bit limited."

Lu Jiu laughed wryly. Indeed, the content is limited, but there's nothing he can do about it. Making these took up his spare time—he certainly can't neglect his main duties to focus on this.

He hadn't expected parents would also enjoy these.

This way, teaching the kids is like teaching a whole family. Of course, that's an ideal situation, but even if just one family is willing to learn, it's something to be happy about for Lu Jiu.

It seems he can make the future content a bit more complex...
