Capítulo 945: Chapter 374: dicinal Herb Cultivation Base, Residency Program Graduation

“If I don’t charge you a 6 yuan consultation fee, you’ll probably bring gifts the next ti you visit! Fine, just pay the 6 yuan!”

Elder Chen said with a smile.

“Haha, thank you! If the big hospitals acted like you, the common folk wouldn’t find dical care unaffordable!”

Zhou Can promptly paid the 6 yuan and left Elder Chen’s ho with the gifts.

Elder Chen stood up to see him off.

This also indicated that he had a good impression of Zhou Can.

“Please stay!”

Zhou Can felt he had already disturbed Elder Chen enough by visiting at night. He wouldn’t dare let Elder Chen see him off, so he quickly turned to persuade him to go back inside.

“The dication from the second prescription has a course lasting more than half a year. If there are any symptoms of discomfort or a relapse, do not take it lightly and co to see for a follow-up anyti.”

Elder Chen instructed them.

“Sure! Can I ask whether the Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus you ntioned as one of the two main herbs is being cultivated by you artificially?” Zhou Can was very concerned about this matter.

He always liked to prepare for the worst when handling things.

If he prepared the two main herbs in advance, and Su Qianqian’s illness was cured without them, that would be best. But if they were really needed, it would be difficult to find them on short notice.

It’s just like buying insurance; you hope nothing happens, but if it does, you have so security.

“The cultivation of such endangered dicinal herbs requires specialized forestry and herbology talents. We mainly focus on traditional Chinese dicine research here and do not cultivate herbs. Currently, the Rui family has a good Chinese dicinal herb base in our province, and they are in the process of cultivating this Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus.”

Elder Chen hesitated for two or three seconds before revealing this information to Zhou Can.

“The Eight-pointed Lotus itself is an endangered wild herb. Its rhizos are used dicinally to treat injuries from falls, hemiplegia, joint pains, snake bites, and more. The Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus is a variant, with purple on the back of its leaves and its roots are also purple. I have never seen this herb in person. According to my master, wild Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus grows under forest slopes, in shrubs, beside streams in shady areas, under bamboo stands, or in evergreen listone forests. Ordinary Eight-pointed Lotus can be found at altitudes above 300 ters, but Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus can only likely be found in cold peaks and snowy forest areas above 2,000 ters.”

“Also, it’s best to use this herb when it’s over three years old. If the growth period is insufficient, it will be hard to achieve the desired efficacy.”

After hearing Elder Chen’s account, Zhou Can finally understood how rare this main herb was.

“So even if the herb cultivation base you ntioned succeeds, it will still take three years before it can be used. Waiting that long involves too many uncertainties. Are there any other channels to purchase it?”

Zhou Can was eager to find the two main herbs as soon as possible to cure his girlfriend.

“This herb is indeed hard to find. As far as I know, only the Rui family is cultivating it. Ordinary Eight-pointed Lotus, while also endangered, can usually be bought with so effort. The Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus is in low demand due to its limited use and market potential, which results in little financial incentive. Pharmaceutical companies are rarely willing to invest significantly in cultivating such low-demand special herbs. The Rui family is only cultivating a small amount of Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus because they are already working on the Eight-pointed Lotus.”

Elder Chen shook his head; the market decides everything.

Very few are willing to do things without profit.

“Xiao Zhou, you don’t need to be too anxious about this. Your girlfriend’s kidneys have not suffered severe functional damage. Judging her condition solely by Western dicine standards is not correct. Let’s first try my treatnt thod for a period; if her kidney energy improves, no additional redies will be necessary.”

Elder Chen comforted the two of them.

“Alright! Thank you for diagnosing my girlfriend and clearing my doubts, goodbye!”

Zhou Can and his girlfriend took their leave.

Given the chance, he still decided to contact the Rui family’s boss. Since they could cultivate Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus, it indicated they had at least one wild Purple Back Eight-pointed Lotus or its seeds.

As for the other main herb, known as Seven-Colored Toad or Rainbow Toad, historical records show the last three were seen in 1924. Since then, no one has discovered any more of this species.

Concerning his girlfriend’s kidney disease, no matter the cost or difficulty, Zhou Can would find a way to get these two main herbs.

The next day, after work, as Zhou Can left, he saw Director Jian of Nephrology sitting on a bench in the corridor.

Upon seeing Zhou Can approach, Director Jian stood up, smiling from afar.

He waved directly at him.

“Director Jian, were you waiting especially for ?”

“I wasn’t ho last night, and you went to the trouble of buying those expensive supplents for . I’m so grateful! I thought I’d co to thank you in person and treat you to a al. Also, you mustn’t bring gifts again in the future.”

Director Jian knows Zhou Can’s potential quite well. Though he is currently the chief physician and deputy director of Nephrology, Zhou Can’s future achievents are likely to surpass his.

Moreover, Director Jian wasn’t as bad in character as one might think.

A gentleman loves wealth, obtaining it through proper ans.

It’s quite normal to have so unofficial inco. Almost any formal doctor or nurse who has worked at a hospital a little longer, and has so power or skills, can gain unofficial inco.
