Chapter 91: On Track
The Shennong Clinic has installed a self-service queuing machine, which is a fresh thing. The patients who came in a hurry saw this and were all delighted, and they were very happy to see it. After all, with this queuing machine, everyone can save a lot of trouble, at least they don't have to stand in line stupidly waiting, and they can also inquire about the specific time at any time!
However, when they heard that the clinic had increased its fees, only accepted 100 people a day, and refused to treat minor illnesses, everyone suddenly boiled over and began discussing it in front of the notice.
"Adding a self-service queuing machine is a good thing, and charging a registration fee is also reasonable. After all, Dr. Wu's medical skills are excellent, and it's worth the price. But accepting only 100 people per day, isn't that too few? As far as I know, there were more than 200 people yesterday, if every day a large number of people are left to wait until tomorrow, won't the queue be very long in the future?"
"That's for sure, but thanks to ordinary minor patients, this can reduce a certain amount of patient traffic."
"Look at this, rural people, migrant workers, and ordinary grassroots people with common illnesses only pay 10 yuan, but city people, the wealthy class have to pay 50 yuan or even more. Isn't this discriminatory? It's really too excessive! I protest against this rule!"
"...” As soon as the man's voice fell, not only did no one agree with him, but he immediately attracted a large crowd of disdainful glances. Protest? Who doesn't know about the mighty deeds of Shen Nong Clinic recently? Wu Shen Doctor even crippled the police chief, and single-handedly knocked down a group of armed police officers. Moreover, the city didn't investigate afterwards, instead they apologized on the second day and even gave Shen Nong Clinic a good name. You dare to protest? Be careful not to be thrown into the Goose River by Wu Shen Doctor.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" The man asked in a weak voice.
An uncle next to him couldn't help but ask: "Young man, you're not from E City, are you?"
"I'm from the provincial city, I heard my relatives say that Shen Nong Clinic is very powerful, so I rushed down. But uncle, what's the relationship between this?" The man asked humbly, and the unanimous gaze of everyone just now made him tremble with fear.
"Hey, no wonder you were so arrogant just now, you don't even know the glorious deeds of Shen Nong Clinic..."
Under the gossipy chatter of onlookers, he finally understood the reason behind the incident and was scared to the point of cold sweat. After thanking the enthusiastic citizens around him, he never mentioned the complaint again. In fact, he was also a small public servant who had complained out of indignation earlier, but he didn't expect the Shen Nong Clinic to be so powerful, and he certainly didn't think he was more capable than a bureau chief.
……
The new rules implemented by the Shen Nong Clinic have brought a lot of laughter to everyone, but they haven't had too much of an impact. The smooth and easy implementation has announced that the Shen Nong Clinic is officially on the right track, just like a country having a constitution, only then can it continue to develop in an orderly manner.
However, the quota restrictions soon caused problems. Before noon, today's 100 quotas were all taken, and by 6 pm when work ended, there were still over 100 registered names, which directly lined up to the day after tomorrow. If this continues, it will be a big trouble.
"Today's sales are over 5,000 yuan, far exceeding expectations. If this continues, it will also alleviate the previous economic difficulties. However, there are still 156 people waiting in line for registration, and if this accumulates, it will only get more and more in the future." Bai Qing quickly calculated the data, and after the initial surprise, she was even more worried. On the first day alone, over a hundred had accumulated, and the problems that would be encountered later would also increase, to the point where one day it might affect the normal operation of the clinic.
Wu Rui also hesitated for a moment.
"Among these patients, more than half of them are suffering from difficult and complicated diseases such as bone hyperplasia, waist and back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. If we could use medication to treat them, it would be great. This way, we can definitely reduce the patient flow and speed up the diagnosis process." Chen Bingxuan suddenly suggested, but her voice was a bit weak. Although Shen Nong Clinic has medicine shelves, Wu Rui had never purchased any medicines.
"Medicine?" Wu Rui slightly furrowed his brow.
"If medication is used to alleviate the situation, it can indeed be relieved, but the prescription will easily leak out, and in that case...” Chunzhu didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she wanted to say. They all looked at each other in dismay, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Many famous doctors of traditional Chinese medicine do not publicly disclose their prescriptions, and some even only write the cabinet number or use cryptic language when writing a prescription, making it impossible for others to decipher. Although this practice is somewhat disreputable, it is also understandable, as complete openness would be equivalent to losing competitive advantage.
"Haha, what are you thinking?! Am I that kind of person?" Wu Rui cried and laughed, shaking his head to explain: "I'm not unwilling to make the prescription public, it's just that there isn't a formula for this aspect, it needs to be reconfigured, but how easy is that to do?! However, I'll try my best!"
Wu Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly. Every prescription was the result of thousands of years of clinical trials, and temporary combinations would have many hidden dangers, and their efficacy would need to be tested. Even if he were a divine doctor, it wouldn't be something that could be accomplished in a short time. Of course, if there was an opportunity, a sudden flash of inspiration might lead him to think of it.
"I knew it, Doctor Wu isn't that kind of person! He's my idol... and the man of my dreams!" Chun Zhu flattered Wu Rui excessively, but the last sentence about being the man of her dreams made Wu Rui's face turn black with anger.
"Ha ha, be careful or Wu Daifu's girlfriend will hear and fire you." Bai Qing couldn't help but tease with her hand covering her mouth.
Chen Bingxuan's face turned red as she smiled.
"Cough, cough... Aunt Mei has already cooked dinner, let's eat and then get off work." Wu Rui was embarrassed by the words, seeing that Aunt Mei had already brought out dinner, he quickly took the opportunity to slip away, making the three nurses giggle continuously.
After dinner, Bai Qing hurried back, Bing Xuan was taken out by Chun Zhu to hang out, Mei Yi was cleaning up the dinner table, and Wu Rui took out "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" in the clinic hall to look for a prescription to treat bone hyperplasia, rheumatoid arthritis and other difficult diseases.
"Shennong Ben Cao Jing" originally not only records the medicinal plants of the world, but also attaches a record of the medicinal properties and countless prescriptions under each medicinal herb. These are by no means folk remedies, but rather divine recipes. However, with the passage of time, many medicinal herbs have become extinct, or there are differences between modern bodies and those of the past, resulting in resistance to certain drugs, making them not entirely applicable.
Now Wu Rui wants to find such a prescription, it's like looking for a needle in the ocean. Even if he finds one, he will have to go through the process of re-examining and modifying it, as well as personally testing it before daring to prescribe it to patients.
"Drip...Drip..."
A car horn startled Wu Rui out of his concentration, and when he looked up, it was that familiar red sports car.
