Chapter 436: Chapter 436: The Medical Career Begins
Qiao Yin’s clinic opened today.
The clinic retained the name of her grandmother’s previous clinic, called the Shen Medical Clinic.
Old Madam Lu brought Lu Yanxi over personally to give celebratory gifts, even Qiao Yin’s former boss Yan Xing came.
Qiao Yin’s cousin Ye Wanwan also brought her child over. When she saw the clinic that Qiao Yin had opened, there was unabashed envy in her eyes.
So, even after all the other guests had left, she still lingered with her child.
Qiao Yin saw her envy and sincerely invited her to stay: “Cousin, the clinic just opened and though we have hired a few people, it’s still understaffed. Why don’t you come and help as well? I’ll pay you a salary, and the two of us can learn medical skills from grandma together.”
Ye Wanwan shook her head: “I don’t have time to work and learn. I’m indispensable at home. An is young and needs my care, and your brother-in-law needs me to cook and do laundry. He wouldn’t agree with me taking on work.”
“Cousin, you can leave An here at the clinic, I can help you take care of him, and you can also take care of your husband’s needs. You can come to work a bit later, say after your husband has gone to work, and you can leave a bit earlier to cook for him.”
Although Ye Wanwan was tempted, she hesitated, “I am afraid that your brother-in-law won’t be happy.”
“Cousin, don’t worry about that. Once you have an income, I think your husband might actually be very happy!”
Qiao Yin genuinely wanted her cousin to step out of the house. She has been through the heartbreak of quitting her job, staying home, and then being cheated on and abandoned by her husband. She didn’t want her cousin to go through the same thing.
Finally, Ye Wanwan was convinced by her: “Then… shall I help out in your clinic?”
Qiao Yin laughed and called out loudly to Shen Yujun: “Grandma, cousin agrees to stay and help! You have one more student to teach!”
Shen Yujun was radiant today in her brand-new white coat, her hair was shiny and smooth, her face was rosy, her eyes were bright, and she exuded an energetic aura that made her look only fifty years old to those who did not know her actual age.
“Good, Wanwan, if you are willing to learn, I am more than happy to teach. I have been hoping that you two can carry on the Shen medical heritage!”
Ye Wanwan walked over and linked her arm with Shen Yujun: “Grandma, I will definitely study more seriously this time than when I was a child!”
Shen Yujun laughed softly: “Good, let’s go. The first patient has arrived, you should come and observe!”
The clinic just opened and the first patient was an old patient who previously received treatment from Shen Yujun.
This patient suffered from asthma, which had been successfully treated by Shen Yujun, but it returned last winter after she accidentally fell into a river and was choked by cold water. The condition was even more severe than before.
Because the patient was a familiar face, after Shen Yujun took her pulse, she let Qiao Yin and Ye Wanwan each have a go as well.
Then she asked each of them to propose their treatment plans.
Ye Wanwan’s medical skills had fallen into disuse for far too long. She couldn’t really say anything, and she didn’t even manage to understand the pulse.
Hence, only Qiao Yin proposed a treatment plan.
After Shen Yujun had listened to it, she nodded, praised it, made a few minor adjustments, then assigned Qiao Yin to perform the acupuncture. She also prescribed a medicine and asked Ye Wanwan to collect it from the pharmacy.
Ye Wanwan didn’t rush to the pharmacy but stayed with her son to observe Qiao Yin’s acupuncture skills.
The patient trusted Shen Yujun, but she wasn’t expecting such a young woman to perform acupuncture on her instead of Shen Yujun. Naturally, she had some doubts and discomfort.
However, as Qiao Yin continued the acupuncture, the patient’s doubts quickly faded away.
Because her difficulty in breathing was significantly lessened.
The revered doctor’s granddaughter seemed very gifted. Her needle insertion was steady and precise, and surprisingly, it didn’t hurt at all!
The patient was having issues with breathing when she arrived, but when she left, her breathing was smooth and she felt light and refreshed. Even though the cost of the acupuncture was high, she felt it was worth it.
What’s more, the clinic also gave her some traditional Chinese medicine. She only needed to drink it for half a month, and after that, she could return for another round of acupuncture treatment.
