Medical Consort, the Prince is Pretending to be Dumb Again-Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Liu Shimei looked up at the plaque on the door.

The National Medical Hall was a medical hall under the Imperial Academy of Medicine and the Imperial Medicine Hall. To describe it in modern language, it was under the state’s control!

Just by standing at the main entrance and looking at the archway-like lintel, one would feel that it was a high-end, grand, and high-class place.

After entering, although it was not as obvious as the modern hospital’s departments and pharmaceutical areas, the scale was quite large at first glance. It was not something that those small medicine shops could compare with.

“It would be great if I could have a medical hall like this,” Liu Shimei’s eyes lit up as she muttered.

In her past life, she had dreamed of having her own private hospital!

Mo’er did not hear clearly and asked in surprise, “Young Miss, what are you talking about?”

“Nothing much. Let’s go in.” Liu Shimei smiled faintly.

“Young Miss, are you feeling unwell?” Mo’er followed her into the National Medical Hall and found that she was not anxious to see a doctor at all. Instead, she was looking around, as if she was…

Having a tour?

After walking for a while, she once again heard Liu Shimei mutter in a low voice, “It’s big enough, and it takes up quite a lot of space. It’s a pity that the hospital is not properly divided. It’s still too backward compared to modern hospitals.”

“What?” Mo’er was confused. “Young Miss, why are you saying things I don’t understand?”

Liu Shimei turned around and poked her forehead. She smiled and said, “You don’t need to understand now, but I hope you will in the future.”

After looking around the layout of the National Medical Hall, Liu Shimei asked Mo’er to find the Chief Steward’s office. She wanted to talk to him.

“Chief Steward, I saw a notice outside the door. You’re looking to recruit a few apprentices, right? ”

The Chief Steward did not even raise his head. He lowered his head and calculated with his abacus as he lazily said, “We are recruiting apprentices, but not women!”

It carried a hint of arrogance.

Liu Shimei was not angry and smiled. “The great National Medical Hall doesn’t have any gynecologists? Don’t you need a female doctor? There are so many noble ladies and daughters in the upper echelons of the Imperial Capital. Doesn’t the huge National Medical Hall need a female doctor? Could it be that Head Shopkeeper thinks that men are superior to women when it comes to treatment, and that women are not worthy of treatment?”

Because the head shopkeeper obviously looked down on women, her words also carried a bit of ridicule!

Hearing her tone, the Chief Steward had to look up and see who dared to behave atrociously at the National Medical Hall!

“Eldest Young Miss Liu!” He was shocked.

“I’ve been very famous recently!” Liu Shimei’s lips curved into a smile. “Chief Steward, don’t be in a hurry to reject me. Do you want to see my abilities before you decide if you want to let me work at the National Medical Hall?”

“Great Aunt, I’m begging you! You are the legitimate daughter of the Grand Chancellor, the future Princess of Dun Yu. No matter how capable you are, our National Medical Hall can’t afford to invite you to provide medical services. Please understand!”

Although he said this, Liu Shimei could clearly see a message from the Chief Steward’s eyes: With your terrible reputation, don’t you drag our National Medical Hall into this!

Liu Shimei chose this place because it was big enough. Although she was famous for her medical skills in modern times, she did not understand the situation here in the Shu Dynasty. Moreover, in modern times, she did not have as much experience in Chinese medicine as Western medicine.

Therefore, she planned to enter the National Medical Hall, even if she was just an apprentice. She wanted to first explore the medical system and medical standards of the great Shu Dynasty. She would start as an apprentice, stabilize her situation, and show her medical skills to become a doctor.

After slowly building up her reputation, she would have the foundation and could work alone or partner up with a doctor that she liked to open her own medical hall!

However, she did not expect that she, a famous modern doctor, would fail to become an apprentice here!
