I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 296 - 262: Healing Through Food

Yan Sansi rubbed his hands, "Well, the station will definitely charge a symbolic promotion fee, but considering that our hospital is newly established, the fee will definitely not be the same as the People's Hospital. I can guarantee that!"

Lu Jiu shook his head like a rattle, "Then forget it."

No way... not even a penny out of pocket!

Yan Sansi was dumbfounded, "Dean Lu, this is the best way to promote your hospital, and furthermore, by using our TV station, we can spread our health knowledge and education through a multi-platform matrix, allowing more people to understand Chinese medicine, which is definitely beneficial for your hospital's future operations!"

Lu Jiu was certainly aware of this.

The key is that the hospital really cannot spare extra money for this.

So far, the hospital has been operating at a loss, so every penny, Lu Jiu hopes to spend wisely.

Although promoting on TV is beneficial for the hospital,

given the current situation, before the Culinary Therapy and Beauty Skin Departments, which are the money-making departments, become operational, the promotion is not very meaningful.

Moreover, after more than a month of treatment, many patients have already recognized their hospital's efficacy, and the number of visiting patients has increased two to three times compared to before.

At this growth rate, in less than half a year, the hospital's patient intake could reach four or five thousand.

Though it still falls short of the twenty thousand daily intake of a regular top-tier hospital, for a Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital, it's already very high.

After all, Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been in operation for twenty years, currently only manages seven or eight thousand daily intakes.

So, going to the TV station for promotion is really optional.

It would be best if it were for free; if not, there is no loss.

Moreover, their hospital directors are all talented individuals from major hospitals.

Many regional TV stations might not be able to invite them, yet they expect Lu Jiu to pay to appear on a municipal station?

"Producer Yan, I understand your goodwill, but I really can't make the decision on this matter," Lu Jiu said.

"How can you not make the decision when you're the dean?" Yan Sansi asked.

"Nominally, those directors in our departments are people my teacher transferred from various provincial top-tier hospitals, whose medical skills are no worse than mine," Lu Jiu said.

"All from provincial top-tier hospitals?" Yan Sansi was quite surprised and continued to ask, "Who is your teacher?"

"The National Master of Chinese Medicine, Huang Fusheng," Lu Jiu said.

What!?

Yan Sansi and the others were dumbfounded.

The National Master of Chinese Medicine!?

These four words were not unfamiliar to them, but they had never seen a National Master of Chinese Medicine in person, only on television.

"Wait, isn't the Chinese medicine base in Jianghan initiated by this National Master of Chinese Medicine?" Yan Sansi asked.

"You know about this?" Lu Jiu said.

"We did an interview before, and it was an interview with someone named An Xianda," Yan Sansi said.

"Oh, Brother Da, he's also helping at the hospital," Lu Jiu said.

Yan Sansi fell into deep thought.

So, although Lu Jiu TCM Hospital is newly built, its physician strength is extremely strong. Besides having directors from various provincial top-tier hospitals stationed there, they also have the National Master of Chinese Medicine as support.

In this situation, it's a bit unreasonable for the TV station to charge a fee.

Forget the National Master of Chinese Medicine; even an ordinary provincial top-tier hospital director is beyond the reach of their Jianghan TV Station.

Interesting!

If Lu Jiu TCM Hospital's doctors appear in the live stream, with their status and level, they could even enhance the brand effect of the Healthy Jianghan Live Stream program.

A municipal TV station featuring provincial top-tier hospital directors is no joke in terms of influence.

Compared to that small promotion fee, enhancing the program's influence is the top priority.

Since only if the program's quality is strong enough can the TV station secure enough advertising revenue.

Just like the advertising time after CCTV's News Broadcast, each second is worth tens of millions or even billions. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Dean Lu, I will discuss this with the station manager when I return, and I hope you will seriously consider our collaboration," Yan Sansi knew that cooperating with Lu Jiu TCM Hospital was too important for him to decide alone.

"Well, since you're here, why not come to our Culinary Therapy Department for a meal?" Lu Jiu said.

Culinary Therapy Department... for a meal?

What is this?

Yan Sansi and others were very curious.

"Dean Lu, is your Culinary Therapy Department just another name for the cafeteria?" Yan Sansi asked.

Lu Jiu laughed, "Sort of, it's a specialty department we've set up in our hospital, specifically providing food therapy projects for some mild cases. As long as the condition isn't particularly severe, anyone can come to the Culinary Therapy Department for a meal. We use dietary supplements to cure the illness. Of course, the taste of the dishes we're currently researching still needs improvement. We, as doctors, also eat and test the medicine, ensuring these medicinal meals are potent and palatable!"

Wow!

You can cure diseases by eating!

This is too comfortable!

Many people are unwilling to see Chinese medicine partly because the medicine tastes bad.

If this issue is solved, a large number of people would choose Chinese medicine.

Of course, the premise still has to be good efficacy!

"Can dietary supplements really have a curative effect?" Zhou Tongyuan asked.

Lu Jiu laughed, "Of course, actually, dietary supplements are more important than medicinal ones. For many illnesses in the early stages, using dietary supplements for nourishment works better. For example, you, your complexion looks a bit sallow, your eyelids are dark, bags under the eyes swollen, lips slightly purple, it's clear you don't eat meals regularly and overindulge sometimes, so your spleen and stomach aren't well, often bloated, food undigested, and you frequently stay up late, which harms your liver and kidneys. If you eat some barley and lotus seed porridge daily and change your routine, this condition will soon improve."

What!?

Zhou Tongyuan looked at Lu Jiu in surprise.

He...

Without even taking a pulse, just by looking at a few glances, he knew he had issues with his spleen and stomach, and accurately stated his lifestyle habits. Isn't this too exaggerated!?

Can Chinese medicine diagnose from a distance?

Upon hearing this, and seeing Zhou Tongyuan's expression, others naturally realized Lu Jiu wasn't lying.

Thus, they became even more curious about the function of this Culinary Therapy Department.

"Dean Lu, is a meal in your Culinary Therapy Department expensive?" Yan Sansi said.

Lu Jiu laughed, "It's definitely not cheap because we use the best ingredients and have top chefs make it fresh. The combination of prescription and ingredients also takes a long time to calibrate. With high costs, it can't be cheap. But I'm treating today, so eat as much as you want, no need to be polite!"

Hearing this, a few swallowed their saliva.

They also wanted to witness just how magical these medicinal meals really are.

Delicious and healing, sounds tempting enough!
