Chapter 178: I cried from anger
"I'll read the prescription," the nurse from ward number three stepped forward.
Two more people said, "Then let's compare whether what they wrote is correct."
Hao Jia: "Is there even a need for comparison? Just put it on the counter and let everyone see!"
No one objected, and the two pieces of paper were placed together on the counter.
It's not clear whether it's right or wrong yet. Just by comparing, Yuan Xiu's handwriting is neat and orderly, with each point logical and well-founded, and she even uses the numbers "one, two, three, four" to indicate the order. On the other hand, Wang Xiaomei's paper is covered in scribbles and corrections, and her writing about decocting medicine is a mess.
Wang Xiaomei's face flushed red and then turned pale, a wave of regret washing over her.
The nurse began reading: "...Astragalus membranaceus 15g, Codonopsis pilosula 12g, Atractylodes macrocephala 10g, Poria cocos 10g, Angelica sinensis 10g, Paeonia lactiflora 10g, Citrus reticulata 6g, Glycyrrhiza uralensis (processed) 6g, Lycium barbarum 10g, Dioscorea opposita 12g..."
After she finished reading, she quickly looked at everyone: "How was it? Did I make any mistakes?"
Everyone:"……"
Hao Jia chuckled: "Of course you're wrong."
The nurse had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her continue, "Of the ten medicinal herbs, Wang Xiaomei only wrote down six, and three of those six were wrong. Look at our Yuan Xiu, she even got the weight of the herbs perfect!"
In the pharmacy, everyone's eyes were on Wang Xiaomei; it was outrageous.
Wang Xiaomei's face turned white then pale, then pale again, then white again. "So what? Who can tell the weight of medicinal herbs just by smelling them? I bet she memorized it beforehand!"
Hao Jia angrily retorted, "You bastard!"
Yuan Xiu: "Let's continue, there's more to come."
The nurse continued reading: "Herbal preparation: Add the goji berries in the last ten minutes, and decoct the yam separately."
Hao Jia pointed to the contents of the two pieces of paper: "Our Yuan Xiu Lian has written the reasons clearly. Goji berries have a high sugar content, and prolonged simmering will destroy their components and make the decoction sticky, so they should be added later. Yam has a lot of starch, and it is easy to burn the pot when simmered with other medicines, which will also make the whole pot of medicine cloudy, so it should be simmered separately. After bringing it to a boil over high heat, simmer it over low heat for 20 minutes, and then pour the yam juice into the main decoction and mix it."
"Take a look at what Wang Xiaomei wrote. She doesn't even know that yam needs to be decocted separately, and she can't even smell the goji berries."
Hao Jia opened the pharmacy's decoction records and placed them on the table for comparison. "Besides the processing methods for special medicinal materials, the records also include the decoction time and heat for other medicinal materials. Take a look, which one did Yuan Xiu write incorrectly?"
Yuan Xiu wrote on the paper: Total decoction time: about 40 minutes.
Cooking time: First bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.
The processing methods for each medicinal material are listed as one, two, or three.
The first rule is the decoction of common medicinal herbs and the decoction time.
The next step is the processing of special medicinal materials.
It was exactly the same as what was recorded in the decoction record.
"I brewed the medicine; Yuan Xiu was only responsible for dispensing it, so don't accuse her of memorizing it beforehand. Wang Xiaomei, what else do you have to say?"
Wang Xiaomei's gaze fell on the paper Yuan Xiu had written on, and as if she had seized a handle, she shouted, "Didn't you say that there was no difference between medicine decocted over three days? Then what is this?"
The paper noted the correct cooking time for the second day: "Urgent heat for half a minute longer, the flavor is slightly stronger." The third day's instructions were the same as the first day.
Yuan Xiu said, "This will not affect the efficacy of the medicine, nor will it cause the patient to vomit."
"That's right, this is the second day's medicine, not the third day." Hao Jia flipped to the second day's summary. "This is my question, and I've recorded it here as well. Yuan Xiuquan is right!"
"She's right, but you're also at fault!" Wang Xiaomei pointed the finger at Hao Jia.
"Whether there's a problem with the medicine I prepared is for the doctors in our Traditional Chinese Medicine department to decide. You don't need to whine about it. Anyway, you've lost now. You're a pharmacy major? You've wasted your education! With your attitude, do you even have the nerve to compete for a recommendation spot? Congratulations, Comrade Wang Xiaomei, you're about to become famous in our hospital again!"
The bustling activity at the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy had already attracted the attention of the staff at the adjacent Western medicine pharmacy and registration desk. Since there weren't many people in the hospital at the moment, everyone was leaning against their respective windows to watch the excitement.
Hao Jia was very blunt, and a few words from her almost made Wang Xiaomei cry!
"By the way, comrades, congratulations! You've got one less competitor!"
Hao Jia continued talking, making the others who came with Wang Xiaomei look at each other but not at Wang Xiaomei.
Wang Xiaomei raised her hand: "You!"
"What do you mean, 'what about me'? What? You can't beat me in a fight, you can't win an argument, and now you want to hit me?!" Hao Jia, hands on her hips, moved closer to Wang Xiaomei. "Come on, try it! Maybe you can even get a few major demerits!"
Wang Xiaomei really cried this time!
This is outrageous!
The nurse tugged at her, "Xiaomei."
Wang Xiaomei pushed her hand away. If it weren't for helping her, would she have lost face like this?
Hao Jia was aggressive, and she didn't say a word in her defense.
Just then, the head nurse of the nursing department rushed over, followed by a young nurse.
"What are you all doing here at the pharmacy? Don't you all have jobs?"
Nurse in Ward 3: "Head Nurse, the old leader in Ward 3 last night..."
Before she could finish speaking, the head nurse glared at her. "I haven't even said anything to you yet! How are you taking care of the patients?! You didn't even notice the patient drank alcohol after taking their medication! Couldn't you smell the strong odor of alcohol in the ward? You discovered the problem but didn't report it promptly, so I had to come looking for you! Are you even thinking about the patients?!"
The nurse was speechless and blushed when she heard her question.
Was it caused by drinking alcohol?
Yuan Xiu: "It seems the responsibility lies with the nursing department, not our pharmacy."
Hao Jia: "That's hilarious, they actually got into the VIP ward with this kind of condition."
Yuan Xiu: "If you reflect on your own actions when problems arise, instead of constantly shirking responsibility, you won't lose face."
Hao Jia: "Tsk! You don't understand, do you? They're here to find something on us. How can we possibly reflect on ourselves? We have to seize such a good opportunity."
The two of them went back and forth, showing no respect whatsoever to the nurses.
They've come knocking on our door; what face do we have left?
Since they didn't give the pharmacy any face, they naturally didn't need to give the nurses any face either.
The head nurse's face darkened. "Starting today, you'll be transferred from the VIP ward to a regular ward. You'll be taking over from Nurse Lin."
The person referred to as Nurse Lin by the head nurse was standing next to her. Upon hearing this, she smiled shyly at the nurse in ward number three.
The nurse in ward number three: "..."
