The announcement of the Tang Dynasty Daily stirred up a heated discussion among the people again. The generous conditions offered by the Tang Dynasty United Medical Center to the doctors made many doctors around Chang 'an feel a rush of excitement. After all, the monthly salary of many doctors in the private medical centers was not even enough to reach the usual amount!
Not to mention the possibility of receiving guidance from Sun Simiao after going to the Tang Empire Joint Medical Center!
All these benefits attracted many people who were proficient in medicine and wanted to go to the Tang Empire Joint Medical Center to participate in the examination. The doctors in charge of the private medical centers began to think about what excuse to take leave three days later so that they could go to the joint medical center in Lantian County to participate in the examination!
If he were to be selected, then he would have an iron rice bowl in the future. After all, the Tang Alliance Medical Center was backed by the Lantian County yamen and Li Zexuan. Basically, it would not collapse. As for a small medical center among the people, if there were a day when the number of people who came to see a doctor decreased and they could no longer earn money, then he would very likely be fired!
In contrast, there was nothing wrong with saying that the Tang Empire Joint Medical Center was an iron rice bowl!
Therefore, after the doctors in the private medical centers learned about the announcement on Datang Daily, almost all of them wanted to apply for a job at the Tang Empire Joint Medical Center!
However, this was a tough situation for the managers of the small private medical centers. They also knew that they had no advantage compared to the Tang Empire Joint Medical Center. In order to retain their doctors, they had to increase their doctors' salaries. After such a fuss, in the entire Chang 'an City and the surrounding counties, there were basically no medical centers that gave their doctors a lower salary than usual. This also greatly reduced the loss of talent in the private medical centers and resolved the devastating blow brought by the announcement on Datang Daily to the private medical centers!
This was also what Li Zexuan and Sun Simiao wanted to see. They never had the intention to wipe out the private medical centers. The Tang Empire Joint Medical Center was equivalent to a modern state-owned enterprise, and the small private medical centers were equivalent to private enterprises. The joint development of the two economies was a healthy development. Otherwise, it would be easy to form a monopoly!
In addition, there were quite a lot of people who wanted to apply for Yanhuang College's medical school. After all, this medical school not only carried Sun Simiao's name, but also hung the signboard of Yanhuang College! Today's Yanhuang College was no longer a nameless college like last year. It was already famous.
Those young people who thought they couldn't get into the Yanhuang College's School of Engineering and had the ambition to be a doctor all turned their attention to the medical college entrance exam. Many people ran to the nearest Datang Daily office to sign up before noon after reading the newspaper. As time went by, the news would spread wider and wider. There would be more and more people who knew about it and were willing to sign up for the entrance exam!
This directly caused a certain amount of pressure on the Imperial Medical Department in Chang 'an City, because the Imperial Medical Department was not only responsible for treating the diseases of the nobles in the palace, but also for training medical students. Now that Yanhuang College had established a medical school, the number of students who applied for the Imperial Medical Department this year was bound to decrease. Not only that, many of the current students in the Imperial Medical Department wanted to directly leave the department midway and take this year's entrance exam of Yanhuang College's medical school!
This was because Sun Simiao and the previous two respected doctors from the Imperial Medical Department — Dr. Qin and Dr. Wang!
However, although the medical college's enrollment announcement had a certain impact on the Imperial Medical Department, the impact was very limited. After all, the Imperial Medical Department had a unique and incomparable advantage. That was, the students who entered here had a chance to become an imperial doctor in the future and had a chance to become an official. A medical officer was also an official!
Based on this point alone, the Yanhuang College's medical school couldn't compare with it.
As for the Tang Joint Medical Center, although the examination and recruitment of doctors would start three days later, Sun Simiao didn't want the medical center to be so empty, so he opened the medical center in advance!
As for the doctors in the medical center, they were temporarily the three of them — Sun Simiao, Dr. Qin, and Dr. Wang. Hu Jing and the two students from the Imperial Medical Department that Dr. Qin brought with him when he joined Yanhuang College were assistants.
According to the original plan, the medical center's lobby on the first floor should have an inquiry desk and a registration desk. The medical center should also be divided into seven departments: internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, acupuncture, ENT, and orthopedic. However, because of the lack of manpower, Sun Simiao and the others took the simplest way of waiting in line to treat the patients who came to the joint medical center!
The three of them were all people with excellent medical skills, so naturally, they could treat any disease in any department!
In fact, strictly speaking, Chinese medicine didn't need to be divided into departments, because Chinese medicine was a holistic system, unlike Western medicine, which was divided into many small parts. However, the reason why it was divided into departments was that the doctors who came from the common people certainly didn't have excellent medical skills like Sun Simiao and Dr. Qin, who could easily solve all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Everyone actually had their own strengths, and the division of departments was undoubtedly to bring everyone's strengths to the extreme!
"Old lady, you have a deficiency of yin and internal heat, which can be seen from the internal disturbance. Your heart is in a mess, and your spirit can't be controlled. It seems to be bloated, but it's not bloated. You feel stuffy. Have you been having trouble eating and sleeping recently?"
At this time, Sun Simiao had just finished feeling the pulse of an old woman and said.
"Yes, yes, yes! Doctor Sun, you are really amazing! I not only have no appetite recently, but I'm also often upset. I can't sleep all night! "
The old woman hurriedly said.
An old man next to the old woman looked at Sun Simiao eagerly and asked, "Doctor Sun, do you think my old lady's illness can be cured?"
Sun Simiao smiled slightly. He picked up the writing brush and calmly replied as he wrote, "This old lady has a deficiency of yin and yang. It's just a minor illness, so you don't have to worry. I'll give you a prescription to calm your nerves and nourish your Qi. After three days, the illness will be cured! This is the prescription. Keep it well! There aren't any medicinal herbs in the clinic for the next few days, so take the prescription and go to other pharmacies to get the herbs! "
While speaking, Sun Simiao had already finished writing the prescription and handed it to the old couple.
The old man quickly thanked him profusely, "Thank you, Doctor Sun! Thank you, Doctor Sun! How much is the consultation fee? "
Sun Simiao stretched out a finger and said, "The consultation fee is one hundred copper coins!"
"One hundred copper coins?"
The old man was a little surprised when he heard this. When he brought his wife to the magnificent Joint Medical Center, he saw how grand and luxurious the medical center was. He thought that the consultation fee and medicinal fees in this medical center would be much more expensive than other places. But who knew that this was not the case. The consultation fee of the Joint Medical Center was basically the same as the consultation fee of the small medical centers outside. It was even cheaper than some. How could he not be surprised?
"Good, good, good! This is one hundred copper coins. Thank you, Doctor Sun! Thank you, Doctor Sun! "
The old man quickly took out a hundred copper coins, and then left with the old woman, thanking her profusely!
In fact, the old man was not the only one who was surprised by the "friendly" consultation fee of the Tang Joint Medical Center. The people who came to see the illness today were definitely here for the three famous doctors, Sun Simiao, Doctor Qin, and Doctor Wang. But at the same time, they were also a little nervous because they didn't know how much the Joint Medical Center charged.
Now that they knew that the consultation fee of the Tang Joint Medical Center was almost the same as outside, or even much less than the consultation fee of those black-hearted medical centers, the people were all overjoyed and ran to spread the news. This reputation soon spread out!
