I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 302 - 268: Patient Visits Surpass 5,000

"Lu Jiu, look quickly, the TV station's program about us is on Douyin."

Lu Jiu had just finished practicing the Eight Vajra Skills with everyone when Peng Yan came over, handing his phone to Lu Jiu.

"I know, didn't they mention this during the last meeting? Why are you so excited?" Lu Jiu said.

"There's even a live broadcast announcement here, saying that our gynecology director Lan Mei will be a guest on the Healthy Jianghan Live Stream next Thursday at 7 o'clock. I see the TV station has put Director Lan's title up, and many people are commenting below," Peng Yan said.

Lan Mei is a student of Huang Fusheng and also the director of the Nanhe TCM Hospital, one of the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage Chinese medicine, and a national moral model in its seventh session.

The Nanhe TCM Hospital is a provincial-level TCM hospital, not comparable to the hospitals in Jianghan City.

It's surprising that a director from such a big hospital and a national moral model came to Jianghan to be the director of a newly built TCM hospital.

This got a lot of people confused.

Especially since this new hospital is called Lu Jiu TCM Hospital!

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of Jianghan City's residents, Lu Jiu TCM Hospital is essentially Lu Jiu's hospital.

How powerful must one be to invite a director from a provincial-level TCM hospital to come and see patients?

"A doctor from Nanhe Province?"

"Can't be true!"

"Why would a director from a provincial hospital come to a municipal hospital, let alone a private one—is it because they made some mistake?"

"Wow, you wouldn't know without searching it—this Director Lan is actually also a deputy to the 13th People's Congress of Nanhe Province and has won the title of National Outstanding Grassroots Famous TCM Doctor."

"I've got to watch this live broadcast."

"This doctor is good at gynecology, right? I've got to let my mom check it out."

"Let me tell you a secret, I searched for all the department directors at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital and found that every one of them is impressive, with some even being directors at Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"There's even the director from Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine!?"

"Wow, Dr. Lu has such a wide network?"

"Then why go to the People's Hospital at all? Just go directly to Dr. Lu's—where else in Jianghan can you find so many provincial renowned doctors!"

"My goodness, I've only just discovered such a treasure of a hospital!"

"..."

Seeing these comments, Lu Jiu was also a bit surprised.

He didn't expect the effect to be so good.

It seems Lu Jiu underestimated the influence of provincial renowned doctors.

In today's era of extremely unequal medical resources, many medical resources are concentrated in big cities, and it's almost impossible to find good doctors in small cities.

This causes many people to have to travel to big cities for medical treatment.

Not only does it waste some medical resources, but it also increases the medical costs for patients themselves.

For instance, at the beginning of the epidemic, almost no hospitals in Jianghan City were able to test for a positive diagnosis, so patients had to be sent to the province.

Thus, with outdated equipment and medical skills not being top-notch, although there are many hospitals, it's still relatively difficult for ordinary people to seek medical treatment.

In Jianghan City, the largest hospitals in many people's minds have only one evaluation.

Small illnesses can't be cured, and big illnesses can't be treated.

Lu Jiu himself, being a doctor, seldom goes to these hospitals, so even though he knows a lot about hospitals, he can't exactly look at all the hospitals in Jianghan City from the perspective of a regular patient.

Of course, this is not just Lu Jiu's problem, it's also the issue for Huang Fusheng and others.

They also wouldn't understand how difficult it is for a local Jianghan City person to see a doctor.

So when they were still worried about whether the hospital could be profitable under Lu Jiu's prescribed model, the moment the hospital was established, the problem already didn't exist.

While Lu Jiu and others watched the video comments, people began to approach the nurses for inquiries in the lobby of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.

"Excuse me, can we eat here?"

"Where can I get medicinal meals, please?"

"Nurse sister, where are the medicinal meals served?"

"I heard there are beauty meals here, is it true?"

"..."

This scene also amazed the nurses in the lobby.

Because they all knew that the TV station came to shoot a program again.

But it seems like it only started airing today, surely the publicity can't be this quick.

Moreover, those who came were all young people, who don't seem like the type of audience that would focus on TV stations.

Where did they hear about it from?

In fact, ever since Lu Xiaoxi had a meal, she followed Lan Mei's dietary therapy recipe and continued it for about a week.

And indeed, since she started listening to Lan Mei, avoiding late nights, reducing makeup, not using skincare products, eating only to 70% fullness, and using Chinese medicine beauty formulas, she noticeably felt that even without makeup, her face had regained some color, looking as if she'd applied a light blush.

Though she didn't apply foundation, her face was still not as white as it could be, but it looked more natural, and even the acne scars she used to need to cover up became less prominent.

This piqued the curiosity of her friends around her, especially her dormitory roommates, who all inquired about it.

Once the word spread, the teachers and students at the teacher-training college couldn't hold back any longer.

For girls, beauty is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation.

Of course, among them, quite a few boys joined in.

Everyone has a heart that loves beauty!

And because these young people began to pay attention to Lu Jiu TCM Hospital, quite a few small internet celebrities started frantically filming various situations at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital.

Aside from the Medicinal Meals Department and the Beauty and Wellness Department, they've even set their sights on the Health and Rehabilitation Department.

As a result, during this period, whenever you open the Douyin platform and select the local section, within four or five videos, content related to Lu Jiu TCM Hospital would appear.

The hospital's frequent online appearances have also attracted the attention of many self-media outlets.

They discovered that such a unique place existed in a small location like Jianghan, a hospital combining TCM, dining, beauty, and fitness.

Quite peculiar but extremely attractive.

Originally, Lu Jiu thought that, to reach the patient volume of the People's Hospital, it would take at least a few years.

But now, with the rapidly increasing attention to the hospital, the patient volume is skyrocketing like a rocket, directly surpassing over five thousand cases and approaching the patient volume of Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The key is that, at this rate, in a few more days, they could completely surpass Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Keep in mind, this hospital has only been open for about two months.

Of course, although the hospital is thriving, Lu Jiu is not very busy.

Because most of the people coming for treatment have minor ailments, with some just joining in the excitement to try eating, beauty treatments, and health preservation here.

But it must be said, these people joining the excitement have contributed significantly to the hospital's profits.

Luckily, almost every person who comes to experience it is quite satisfied.

The medicinal meals are expensive, but they are safe and reliable.

Especially since last year's popularity of prefabricated dishes continues to this day, everyone is highly concerned about healthy eating, and now that there's a hospital offering medicinal meals in Jianghan, it certainly hits the key concerns of the people.

They just want to eat something they can trust, and now they have that—and far beyond their expectations.

How could they not be satisfied?

"Hmm? Why are there suddenly so many people?"

Huang Fusheng, since the hospital was built, only came to see it a few times in the beginning, then he hasn't been back to the hospital; he mostly inquired about the situation by phone, mainly because the medicinal base was also particularly busy.

Most of their people have been transferred to the hospital, so the remaining work definitely requires him and Shen Congwei to coordinate.

However, today happened to be relatively leisurely, so he wanted to come and see the hospital. But before he even entered, he saw that the parking lot at the hospital entrance was fully occupied.

"Seems like Lu Jiu has managed the hospital quite well!" Shen Congwei chuckled.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Huang Fusheng was also quite looking forward to it.
