Chapter 120 The Doctor's Fate
"Yesterday I met a paralyzed old man at the market. I remembered your suggestion about gradual physical therapy and decided to give it a try." Chen Fang thought to herself, then unfolded a letter and read it carefully:
"Dear Miss Chen Fang, the reduction therapy you mentioned in your letter that day does help relieve the patient's pain. A few days ago, I also tried this method and the effect was remarkable. Especially for those joint dislocations caused by trauma, this technique can indeed be used to restore them, but I am still worried that we should not be too hasty, especially when dealing with the illness of the elderly." Li Zheng's handwriting is neat and clear, and his dedication to medicine and care for patients can be seen between the lines.
Chen Fang's lips curled up slightly, and her respect for Li Zheng, the doctor, deepened. She picked up a pen and prepared to write a reply to Li Zheng. The chirping of swallows and orioles at midnight sounded softly outside the window, and her mood was happy and peaceful.
"Doctor Li," she said to herself, "I wonder if your days of practicing medicine abroad are going well? Nowadays, the medical field is like a vast ocean, and I still have a lot to learn."
She looked focused, and finally decided to write down her recent situation. "Dear Li Zheng, my work here is going well. Most of the patients in the town are chronically ill, and the hope of recovery is slim, but I am still willing to try my best. You mentioned the classic prescriptions that day, and I have been studying those ancient books recently, hoping to draw inspiration from them and improve some prescriptions to deal with local diseases."
She sighed softly, her thoughts drifting away. "Even though there are many difficulties ahead, I am willing to stick to this original intention. During the conversation, you often mentioned the influence of your father on you, which reminded me of my own mother. She was also a doctor, and now she has passed away, but I can still feel the knowledge and beliefs she passed on to me."
After finishing the letter, Chen Fang savored it carefully, recalling her first encounter with Li Zheng. At that time, his eyes were firm and his words were sharp. He seemed like a breeze that dispelled countless mists.
"Although our Qianyuan Town is small, it is not easy to cure the illness of the nobleman. You may want to come here for a visit," she wrote at the end of the letter, as if inviting the soulmate from afar.
After some thought, she sealed the letter and waited until the sun set before finding someone to deliver it to the market town. As night fell, Chen Fang still couldn't fall asleep, her thoughts kept spinning in her mind. She seemed to be in that warm hospital room, and Li Zheng discussed the complex symptoms with her. From the application of herbal medicine to the diagnosis of internal injuries, the two of them always had a heated discussion about medical skills, learning from each other and having a lot of fun.
After a sleepless night, Chen Fang heard the birds singing outside the window in the early morning, and thought of the case mentioned by Li Zheng in the letter. "Doctor Li, have you encountered more difficult diseases while seeking medical treatment outside?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting her thoughts. After opening the door, a villager with a sad face came in. He anxiously told her that a relative at home was seriously ill and begged Chen Fang to go and treat him.
"Don't be anxious. Please tell me clearly what the disease is." Chen Fang hurriedly calmed down and listened carefully.
"My father has been coughing non-stop lately and his face is pale. I really can't do anything about it. Thinking of your excellent medical skills, I beg you to save his life."
Chen Fang's heart tightened, and she grabbed the medical tools and followed him. The carriage was bumpy, and the countryside was quiet. Her thoughts drifted back to the time she spent with Li Zheng.
He whispered beside her, "Every patient's illness is a story. What you have to do is not only to heal their bodies, but also to warm their hearts." These words were deeply imprinted in her mind.
The fleeting memories gathered into faith. Chen Fang's eyes sparkled with light, and she thought to herself: "No matter where I go, I hope that I can warm every patient with the heart of a doctor..."
"How can I get more people to join?" Chen Fang muttered to herself, her thoughts racing. She invited her colleagues to her clinic so that she could come up with some preliminary ideas.
"Sister Fang, why did you call me here?" Li Cai, a good friend of Chen Fang, couldn't help asking when she saw her excited expression.
"I want to organize a medical exchange meeting." Chen Fang said firmly and energetically. "The doctors in our town may have their own specialties. If we can gather together and share our experiences, we will be able to improve our medical skills and benefit our neighbors."
Li Cai frowned, "It's not easy. Throughout history, everyone has a lot of privacy and is reluctant to share precious experiences, right?"
"I understand the concerns. But it's all worth it! Our goal is not just for personal reputation, but for the safety of countless patients." There was a firm light in Chen Fang's eyes.
"Then how many doctors are needed to participate?" Li Cai flipped through the notebook in his hand, looking very serious.
"I plan to cover the five surrounding towns and hire at least one doctor for each village." Chen Fang couldn't hide her excitement as she quickly marked out the schedule and arrangements on the paper.
"Have you thought of a theme?" Li Cai asked with some doubt.
"The theme of the exchange meeting is 'Compassion in Medicine, Sharing Health'. I hope that participants can work together to discuss medical skills and learn from each other." Chen Fang's voice was firm.
Soon after, when night fell, Chen Fang invited doctors in the town to attend the exchange meeting. Her clinic was decorated warmly and simply, with antique Chinese medicine books hanging on the walls and several tables and chairs arranged in a circle, symbolizing harmony and unity.
"Hello everyone, thank you very much for taking the time to come. I am Chen Fang, and we are gathered here today to discuss medical skills together." She stood in front of the crowd and opened with a smile.
An elderly doctor looked serious, holding a medicine bag and said slowly: "Miss Chen, I come here out of respect, but compared to my medical experience, I still keep everything I have as a secret. Do you think we can share it?" After that, the air around them froze for a moment, and everyone whispered to each other.
"I understand your concerns." Chen Fang remained calm and said softly, "But I hope that tonight's discussion can break down this barrier. Doctors are people who save lives and heal the wounded, and compassion is our mission. If we can share each other's experiences, we will surely reduce the suffering of countless patients."
Another young doctor lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that you have a close relationship with Dr. Li from another place. How is his skill?"
"Dr. Li is very skilled in medical techniques, and reduction therapy is one of his unique skills. We have been learning and communicating with each other." Chen Fang's tone was filled with pride.
"In that case, why don't we ask him to send us his medical books so we can discuss this." The young doctor said with a hint of anticipation, "Can we listen to his advice?"
"This is indeed a good idea!" Another doctor added, "If we can compile the experiences of all parties into a book, we can spread it to every town and village and save more patients."
The discussion gradually heated up, and the topics became more heated. Some mentioned the properties of herbs, some shared unique diagnostic methods, and some even started planning follow-up study groups.
Chen Fang listened quietly, secretly pleased in her heart, "It can be seen that everyone is willing to communicate, but they just lack a platform."
As time went by, the atmosphere became more harmonious, and the doctors sparked wisdom in their discussions. Chen Fang also tacitly agreed that this would not only be an exchange meeting, but also a new path. The good interaction between her and Li Zheng would surely promote the development of medicine in this small town.
"Can we hold such exchange meetings regularly?" Li Cai suggested.
"Of course, by repeating this process over and over again and learning from each other, we will surely achieve further progress." Chen Fang responded with a smile, secretly swearing in her heart.
