Li Xiaofan came to the door of the hospital. It was less than six o'clock. He found that many patients had lined up for registration, and several windows were overcrowded.
"It's not easy." Li Xiaofan said with emotion. He wanted to improve his accomplishments in the hospital, but he still hoped that not so many people would go to the hospital to see a doctor, and everyone was in good health.
According to the guidance of old Wang, he soon came to the office of the vice president on the second floor.
"Mr. Wang, you're really early enough to go to work at more than five o'clock?" Li Xiaofan said.
"Alas, I'm old. Sleeping for two or three hours a day is enough. I can't sleep when I wake up at more than three o'clock. I came to the hospital without wandering. I've been used to it for so many years." Wang said with a smile.
Li Xiaofan opened his mouth and said, "there are too few serious people like Wang Lao now."
"Don't flatter me. I'm very satisfied and gratified to be able to come to study medicine." old Wang said with a heartfelt smile.
"When can we start?" Li Xiaofan asked.
Old Wang curled his lips, pretended to be angry, and said, "since I teach you traditional Chinese medicine, at least you should worship a teacher first?"
Li Xiaofan patted his head and forgot about it. Nowadays people don't pay much attention to these things, but they still pay special attention to the people of Wang Lao's era. Even if the apprentice doesn't listen to his parents, he should listen to his master.
"Sorry, Mr. Wang, I forgot this. When shall we hold the worship ceremony?" Li Xiaofan asked.
"I'm just talking about it. Don't worry for the moment. Wait until I tell the old guys of the Chinese Medicine Association to make a witness. For now, I still focus on learning. I have several sets of medical skills here and my personal notes for decades. You can have a look first." old Wang took out the things in the wooden box.
Li Xiaofan carefully picked it up. Traditional Chinese medicine books may be available everywhere, but notes are a kind of thing that condenses personal efforts, especially old Wang, who is known as the first miracle doctor in China. His notes for decades are more precious.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Li Xiaofan said excitedly.
"You're welcome. I'll teach you everything without reservation in the future." Wang said.
Li Xiaofan nodded.
However, just as Wang was about to explain the basis of traditional Chinese medicine, a figure came over. It was Xiang Hao.
"Old Wang, I heard you're going to take an apprentice?" Xiang Hao asked nervously.
"Yes, I'm older, and my energy is getting worse year by year. If I don't inherit my medical skills, I'm afraid there will be no successors." Wang sighed.
Xiang Hao asked again, "Mr. Wang, if you want to accept an apprentice, the first consideration should be me. Why didn't I receive the notice?"
In order to be Wang's apprentice, he also took great pains. The normal working time is 8:30, but he came at 7 o'clock every day. He diligently helped Wang clean his office and served him with tea and water in order to please Wang.
As a young man, years are like a day, whether pretending or sincere, it is quite rare.
Wang Lao also saw that he would teach Xiang Hao some medical skills, but he never taught him deeper things, such as notes.
In order to get Wang's approval, Xiang Hao bribed several nurses on the night shift, invited them to eat and sing, and asked them to report Wang's situation in time.
Just this morning, a night nurse heard Wang Lao's call and called Xiang Hao at the first time to inform him to hurry to the hospital, otherwise Xiang Hao would not appear here at more than six o'clock.
"Xiang Hao, you are not the apprentice I want to take." old Wang replied faintly.
Xiang Hao's eyes fixed on Li Xiaofan. In this office, there is only Li Xiaofan except him. The apprentice in Wang's mouth must be him.
"Old Wang, do you really want to take him as an apprentice?" Xiang Hao was still unwilling.
"Yes, from today on, Li Xiaofan will be my apprentice." Wang said with a smile.
Xiang Hao's heart was stabbed fiercely. Old Wang saw that his eyes were different from those of Li Xiaofan. He could no longer suppress his anger and shouted in an almost roaring voice: "old Wang, why does this guy have no education and no medical experience before? Why do you let him be your apprentice?"
Li Xiaofan frowned slightly. It was not the first time he saw Xiang Hao. He thought that when his future mother-in-law Chu Lan was hospitalized and old Wang proposed to accept him as an apprentice, Xiang Hao was nearby. At that time, he was also opposed and made all kinds of sarcasm at him.
Li Xiaofan didn't plan to study medicine at that time and didn't pay attention to this guy. Who knows that the other party is still like this, and his speech is more ugly and arrogant.
"Xiang Hao, I don't need to explain who I take as an apprentice. If it's all right, you can go." old Wang was also angry.
"Mr. Wang, I don't mean that. I just want to remind you not to be deceived by some people." Xiang Hao realized that he had a bad attitude and apologized quickly.
"I haven't reached the point where my old eyes are dazzled. I'll judge who can do who can't." old Wang turned and stopped looking at Xiang Hao.
Xiang Hao clenched his fist tightly. His nails were almost embedded in the meat, and his breathing fluctuated.
"Old Wang, I don't agree!" Xiang Hao finally said his long suppressed voice, "after I graduated, I came to you. I've done well these years. Why can't you accept me as an apprentice?"
"Hey, Xiang Hao, it's easy to learn traditional Chinese medicine. I've taught you enough at ordinary times, but it's too difficult to inherit traditional Chinese medicine. I have very high requirements for personal quality, not only the efforts of the day after tomorrow, but also talent." Wang sighed lightly.
He doesn't want to carry forward traditional Chinese medicine, but traditional Chinese medicine is the treasure of China. Even if it is interrupted from now on, it can't be destroyed and despised.
Wang didn't say it clearly, but people like Xiang Hao have a strong purpose in doing things. They want to learn the art of traditional Chinese medicine from him and become famous for thousands of miles. They don't take saving the dead and healing the wounded as their own responsibility at all. Their starting point is wrong.
"Mr. Wang, do you mean that my talent is not as good as him?" Xiang Hao said, pointing to Li Xiaofan.
He came from a medical family and was influenced by it since childhood. When he was studying, he often checked medical books. When he went to university and even graduate students, he chose the major of traditional Chinese medicine.
It's a good thing now. In the face of a Li Xiaofan who has no knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, old Wang actually said that his talent is not as good as letting him.
Xiang Hao refused!
"Hehe, are you really dissatisfied?" Li Xiaofan shook his head slightly. If he didn't come to learn traditional Chinese medicine, he could meet those in power. Moreover, he despised himself so much, which made him very angry. He said again: "I don't have other skills. I specialize in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction. Say it. What do you want?"
