It took Du Heng several days to sort out the series of infectious diseases caused by improper relationships, a process that was chaotic and sowhat subverted his values. He discovered that current relationships between n and won could beco so ssy they were utterly baffling.
Fortunately, Glasses Man and Tough Man went to the Departnt of Infectious Diseases at Provincial First Hospital, while Yu Zhiwei’s wife went to the Gynecology Departnt of the First Affiliated Hospital of JZU.
Later, both hospitals contacted Du Heng’s Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital to confirm the statents and to check if all relevant sources of infection had been notified. It was then Du Heng realized that Qi Xiaoqing and Yu Zhiwei could actually be considered relatively well-behaved young people. This was because the sources of infection for Glasses Man and Yu Zhiwei’s wife were surprisingly nurous and widespread. The sheer extent of the spread made the doctors at both other hospitals scratch their heads in frustration. They couldn’t help but call Du Heng again, hoping he could do them a favor and take all the patients.
Of course, these were just jokes, everyone venting their frustrations together. After all, it was the patient’s decision which hospital they went to for treatnt. Hospitals capable of providing treatnt couldn’t simply turn patients away. This was especially true for public hospitals. Although they had many of their own problems, they played an irreplaceable role in ensuring public health and safety.
Li Jianwei, sitting in the front row of the Tiered Classroom, watched the invited professor on stage speaking eloquently while also keeping an ear out for Du Heng’s grumbling.
"You kid, stop complaining to ," Li Jianwei whispered. "You’re the top leader of a hospital. Besides the hospital’s developnt, the safety of the doctors and nurses is a top priority in your work. Our kind of workplace is different from other departnts, like public security or fire services. In those fields, dangers are visible and tangible; everyone has a general idea of what they’re facing. But we’re different. Often, we don’t even know where the danger lies. This is why our superiors constantly hold etings, reminding us to improve our professionalism and standardize our work practices. This isn’t just a slogan; it’s a protection for patients and for us, the dical care personnel."
Du Heng watched the professor on stage, his gaze sowhat unfocused. "Ah, I just wanted to vent a bit to you, Teacher.
"To others, our job is about making money, and it’s seen as high-status.
"But only we know that we don’t actually make much money, and the work we do is far from high-status.
"For example, those in internal dicine, ENT, or neurology might have it slightly better. In other departnts, doctors are either scooping out feces, untangling intestines, or acting like carpenters sawing wood. It’s not just hard and tiring work; we also have to deal with all sorts of invisible infectious diseases every day."
Li Jianwei glanced sideways at Du Heng. "Look at you, complaining again. Alright, let’s talk about sothing more pleasant. You’ve been listening to Professor Ding Yuxue’s lecture for a bit. What do you think?"
Du Heng refocused slightly, his gaze settling on the female professor on stage. After watching her for three or four seconds, he said, "She’s alright, I guess. Pretty average."
"Whoa, that’s not exactly high praise."
"She’s just reciting from the textbook, all stuff from basic traditional Chinese dicine courses. There are no special thods or theories. What’s there to evaluate in that?"
Du Heng scoffed, "Let say sothing shaless: if you put Li Shuxun, or even Xiao Li, up there to lecture, I think they’d do a better job than her."
Li Jianwei also pursed his lips; Du Heng’s words mirrored his own thoughts. In his opinion, the professor’s teaching skills were decent, but her understanding of traditional Chinese dicine seed diocre.
Li Jianwei chuckled and said teasingly, "But she’s the one standing on the rostrum lecturing all the teachers and students of our school, while we can only sit below and listen. She must have sothing special about her. Just listen properly."
"Pfft, Teacher, I wonder if you’ve heard this saying?"
"What saying?"
"Platform is greater than ability; opportunity is greater than platform," Du Heng whispered. "Capital University of Traditional Chinese dicine is a prominent institution nationwide, a true giant among top Traditional Chinese dicine Universities. Developing on such a platform, as long as soone isn’t a complete idiot, they’re bound to progress more than soone from a school in a remote mountain area like ours. Besides, they’re in the Capital, right at the heart of the country. With all the opportunities, resources, and connections available there, is it really that hard for them to end up lecturing on the podium of a school like ours?"
Just as he finished speaking, the Dean, who was sitting in the front row, coughed softly and glanced back at Du Heng.
Du Heng imdiately grinned, flashing his teeth, while the Dean looked at him, clearly annoyed.
The professor on stage continued, "Classmates, what we just discussed are so very superficial aspects of traditional Chinese dicine.
"However, even from this superficial knowledge, we can see that traditional Chinese dicine is vast and all-encompassing, a truly complex subject."
Du Heng, wanting to give the Dean face, grinned sheepishly. He then genuinely stopped talking to Li Jianwei and started to listen attentively to the lecture, just in ti to hear the professor’s preceding words.
"Just now, we ntioned the correspondence between the five viscera and the five features: the liver opens at the eyes, the heart opens at the tongue, the spleen opens at the mouth, the lungs open at the nose, and the kidney opens at the ears."
