I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 357 - 154: Can Lu Xuan Win This Year’s Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award?

Chapter 357: Chapter 154: Can Lu Xuan Win This Year’s Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award?

If it were before, if Zheng Xianjue suggested this, Zhang Jiwei would at least consider it.

After all, sending Ji Huan to the provincial hospital would be the most appropriate decision.

But now, after witnessing Lu Xuan’s profound knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine, he no longer has any doubts about what Huang Beishan and Zhou Qihua said.

Didn’t you see that both Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingcai, giants in the field of Chinese medicine, sat there like students, listening to Lu Xuan’s explanation?

What does this indicate?

It indicates that these two genuinely recognize Lu Xuan’s abilities, not just giving him lip service.

With this in mind, Zhang Jiwei has to consider a problem. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Is it better to send that person to the provincial hospital, or is it better to stay in Yong City and use the treatment plan proposed by Lu Xuan?

If the treatment plan proposed by Lu Xuan can truly bring someone back from the brink of death and save Ji Huan, even though the great merit belongs to Lu Xuan, as the dean of the City First Hospital, he can’t help but gain some credit as well.

Of course, there is also the possibility of facing Ji Huan’s dissatisfaction.

After all, the City First Hospital tried saving Ji Huan for so long without alleviating his pain, and it was only after Lu Xuan came that the situation dramatically improved, easing Ji Huan’s pain and allowing more time for further rescue efforts.

It’s completely normal for Ji Huan to have grievances against the City First Hospital and him, Zhang Jiwei.

But if he’s sent to the provincial hospital, it has nothing to do with Yong City.

Moreover, there’s a high possibility of facing Ji Huan’s dissatisfaction, and it’s not impossible that this could lead to his dismissal as dean.

Don’t be fooled by his position as dean of the City First Hospital, with no small status and reputation in Yong City’s medical community, yet in front of Ji Huan, there is a huge disparity. A single word from him could end his career, pulling him down from his current position.

Zhang Jiwei has no choice but to consider this.

Keeping Ji Huan in Yong City for treatment is most beneficial for him.

Of course, if Lu Xuan’s treatment plan is ineffective, leading to the end of Ji Huan, his outcome will likely not be good either.

But after the brief half-hour he just experienced, Zhang Jiwei is full of confidence in Lu Xuan’s treatment plan.

Even though he doesn’t know much about traditional Chinese medicine, he’s no fool. Lu Xuan clearly and thoroughly explained the situation, including what medications to use, how to use them, and how to remove toxicity while ensuring their efficacy. Doubting further would likely incur Huang Beishan’s wrath.

So when Zheng Xianjue brought up the idea of transferring hospitals, he responded with a "?" leaving Zheng to think carefully about it.

Besides, using Lu Xuan’s treatment plan was personally decided, so how could they change it?

Even if they wanted to change it, how could they bring it up?

Mentioning it would not only offend that person but also those here, as well as the many traditional Chinese medicine experts invited today.

If he were to make such a decision, Zhang Jiwei believes it would be sheer folly.

"What are you thinking, Dean Zhang?"

As Zhang Jiwei was lost in thought, Huang Beishan’s leisurely voice pulled him back to reality: "Honestly, aren’t you considering becoming an apprentice? You heard it too, Lu said you have a remarkable talent, and it would be a pity not to learn traditional Chinese medicine.

I know you’ve studied Western medicine all your life, and it’s hard to change your mindset quickly, but don’t worry. Once you come into contact with traditional Chinese medicine, you’ll find out how amazing the field is, full of marvels and even miracles.

As Lu puts it, the diseases Western medicine can treat, we in traditional Chinese medicine can treat too, and the diseases Western medicine can’t treat, we can still deal with.

You’ve seen that person’s condition, right? To be blunt, your suggestion of the emergency coronary angiography and stenting, do you think it will save him? I doubt it. It’s not just about restoring blood flow in the coronary artery; the root cause is damaged. If it’s only treating the symptom but not the root cause, not only will it not save the person, it might accelerate his death, then whether you can remain as the dean is uncertain.

From this perspective, you really have to thank Lu, because if he hadn’t turned the tide with acupuncture to relieve that person’s pain, you’d more likely than not be looking for a new job as dean.

Regarding your previous spat with Lu, that’s nothing. You ought to kneel and thank him."

Here, Huang Beishan chuckled: "Don’t look at me, I stick by what I said."

Zhang Jiwei opened his mouth but said nothing more, his expression somewhat complicated.

What Huang Beishan said may have been a bit stern, but it’s indeed the truth.

From this angle, he truly owes Lu Xuan a sincere thank you.

If Lu Xuan hadn’t stepped in to save the situation, even if they had sent the patient to the provincial hospital and he was cured, Zhang Jiwei wouldn’t have been safe from getting the axe.

Never mind a dean, even the head of the city’s health bureau would be trembling with fear.

Seeing Zhang Jiwei silent, Huang Beishan got a bit cocky, laughing as he said: "Dean Zhang, maybe next time when you have the chance, you should host a dinner for us? I’m still thinking about those nice bottles of wine you have at home."

Zhang Jiwei rolled his eyes, knowing that Huang Beishan had been eyeing those two bottles of vintage wine for quite some time.

The wine isn’t expensive but crafted using an ancient method, and with its age, it’s rich and mellow, hard to come by even with money. Ever since Huang Beishan tasted it over a year ago, it’s been on his mind, and he brought it up again today.

Previously, Zhang Jiwei would probably have told Huang Beishan to not bother thinking about it, but given the timing of Huang’s proposal and the involvement of Lu Xuan, he didn’t quite know how to refuse, so he could only nod helplessly:
