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 stateâs 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 hospitalâs departments and pharmaceutical areas, the scale was quite large at first glance. It was not something that those small medicine shops could compare with.
âIt would be great if I could have a medical hall like this,â Liu Shimeiâs eyes lit up as she muttered.
In her past life, she had dreamed of having her own private hospital!
Moâer did not hear clearly and asked in surprise, âYoung Miss, what are you talking about?â
âNothing much. Letâs go in.â Liu Shimei smiled faintly.
âYoung Miss, are you feeling unwell?â Moâer 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 wasâŠ
Having a tour?
After walking for a while, she once again heard Liu Shimei mutter in a low voice, âItâs big enough, and it takes up quite a lot of space. Itâs a pity that the hospital is not properly divided. Itâs still too backward compared to modern hospitals.â
âWhat?â Moâer was confused. âYoung Miss, why are you saying things I donât understand?â
Liu Shimei turned around and poked her forehead. She smiled and said, âYou donât need to understand now, but I hope you will in the future.â
After looking around the layout of the National Medical Hall, Liu Shimei asked Moâer to find the Chief Stewardâs office. She wanted to talk to him.
âChief Steward, I saw a notice outside the door. Youâre looking to recruit a few apprentices, right? â
The Chief Steward did not even raise his head. He lowered his head and calculated with his abacus as he lazily said, âWe are recruiting apprentices, but not women!â
It carried a hint of arrogance.
Liu Shimei was not angry and smiled. âThe great National Medical Hall doesnât have any gynecologists? Donât you need a female doctor? There are so many noble ladies and daughters in the upper echelons of the Imperial Capital. Doesnât 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?â
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!
âEldest Young Miss Liu!â He was shocked.
âIâve been very famous recently!â Liu Shimeiâs lips curved into a smile. âChief Steward, donât 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?â
âGreat Aunt, Iâm 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 canât afford to invite you to provide medical services. Please understand!â
Although he said this, Liu Shimei could clearly see a message from the Chief Stewardâs eyes: With your terrible reputation, donât 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!
