I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 147 Medical Competition

After this medical fight, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan became famous, and countless people came to them for medical treatment.

For Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, it was a piece of cake to provide proof of how many people they had treated within a specified period of time, how much money they had earned, and how much information such as signatures of favorable comments had been obtained.

Now all we have to do is spend some time collecting these things, and if we’re quick, we’ll have it done by the end of this year.

"In the medical competition on the first day of March next year, Qingyi and Baiyan, if you two are capable, try your best to get a good ranking.

A medical competition is not comparable to a fight between two clinics.

At that time, all the famous doctors and young talents in the entire Tianshan Kingdom would gather together to compete in medical skills and exchange experiences. In addition, there would be ministers in the court and members of the royal family serving as judges. It could be said to be a feast for the medical world and a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.

As long as you can seize the opportunity and rank among the top in this medical competition, it will be no problem for you to practice medicine in the capital in the future. Some of you may even be directly selected to work as a female doctor in the Imperial Hospital. Even if you are at the lowest level, you will still hold an official position.

The future is limitless." Shopkeeper Zhou reminded Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

"Thank you, Manager Zhou, for your advice." Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan looked at each other, each with an eagerness in their eyes. They immediately looked forward to the Beijing Medical Competition on the first day of March the following year.

"Manager Zhou, do you know the specific rules of the Capital City Medical Competition?" Bai Yan was eager to try, and she asked curiously.

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded and smiled, "Of course I know, the Beijing Medical Competition is usually held every five years, but I don't know why it was held a year earlier this year.

Presumably something had happened, and the heads of the two medical clinics in the capital communicated with each other and passed the news down.

However, participants in the medical competition must be doctors, and the age of participants has been raised to under 40 years old, compared to previous years when participants were under 35 years old.

The older the contestants are, the more disadvantageous it is for you.

Because older doctors tend to have more experience, more sophisticated medical skills, and broader knowledge, while they have to face the younger generation of medical masters, thus taking advantage of them.

However, this does not mean that young doctors have no chance to achieve good results. Although these young doctors do not have as much experience as the older generation, they have keener observation skills and more flexible thinking. They are young and energetic, and can adapt to the scene of the medical competition more quickly.

After all, the judging criteria for the medical competition are not just age and experience, but more importantly, mentality, calmness, composure and self-confidence, as well as the ability to deal with emergencies.

Therefore, as long as young doctors can give full play to their advantages and fully demonstrate their abilities, it is entirely possible for them to stand out in the medical competition and achieve remarkable results.

The competition is divided into three stages: preliminary round, semi-final and final. The preliminary round is in the form of a written test, similar to the imperial examination, which examines the medical theories of the contestants, but only eliminates some people first.

The semi-finals require contestants to treat patients on the spot and demonstrate their medical skills.

In the final, the judges will set questions and the contestants need to complete the answers within the specified time. Finally, the judges will give a comprehensive score to select the final winner.

However, this time the Medical Competition was held earlier, and the age of the contestants has been raised to 40 years old. Perhaps the rules of the Medical Competition will also change. What I am talking about are only the rules of the previous Medical Competitions."

"It sounds very challenging." Bai Yan exclaimed.

"That's right. The Capital Medical Competition is not only a contest of medical skills, but also a test of the overall quality of the contestants. However, you two young and promising doctors, I believe that as long as you prepare well, you will be able to stand out in the competition." Shopkeeper Zhou encouraged.

"Thank you for your advice, Manager Zhou. We will definitely try our best." Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan said confidently.

.........

Chengfu.

On the second day after Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan returned to the county from their home, they were invited by Cheng's servants to see Mrs. Cheng in the afternoon.

"Madam Cheng, are you planning to have us operate on you?" After arriving at Cheng's house, Bai Yan went straight to the point and spoke to Madam Cheng.

Earlier, during the medical fight, the assessment for those who performed surgery was to have the lipomas on their bodies removed. Before this, Xu Qingyi had also examined Madam Chen, and she also had lipomas on her body.

Considering all the circumstances, Bai Yan suspected that the two people who needed surgery were specially invited by Yidou to perform surgery, and the purpose was probably to test their medical skills and surgical skills.

So, after seeing the surgical skills that she had demonstrated in the medical fight and the fact that the person who had his lipoma removed was still doing well and the lipoma had not increased, Madam Cheng asked the two of them to perform the surgery on her.

Upon hearing this, Madam Cheng showed an awkward smile on her face. She sighed softly and said, "Doctor Bai, to be honest, I do have this idea. Since the last medical fight, I have been deeply impressed by your and Miss Xu's medical skills and surgical skills.

Operating on a human body and suturing it is no small matter. I was wrong to ask someone from the medical fight to test your medical skills and abilities. I hope Doctor Bai will forgive me."

Mrs. Cheng was quite straightforward. She just lowered her head and surrendered.

Bai Yan nodded slightly to show her understanding. She was not angry at Mrs. Cheng's probing.

After all, as doctors, they need to have superb medical skills and solid experience to better treat patients and save lives. She has long been accustomed to patients' worries and distrust.

"Mrs. Cheng, don't worry. You have seen the follow-up condition of the patient who had me operate on him during the medical fight. After a few days of recuperation, he is now fine.

On the contrary, I am afraid that if the lump on your body grows bigger and bigger, it will increase the difficulty of surgery, which will then have other effects.

If you are sure you want me to operate on you to remove the bump, I suggest you make a decision as soon as possible." Bai Yan reminded Madam Cheng with a serious expression.

Mrs. Cheng heard this and a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She knew that the doctors Xu and Bai who were invited to treat her this time were not only highly skilled in medicine, but also had a kind heart, which was the most rare.

"Then please trouble Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai to check my body and arrange surgery for me as soon as possible." Mrs. Cheng knew that the bigger the lump on the body, the more other impacts it would have. Mrs. Cheng naturally understood the implication of this and said with a little concern in her heart.
