Chapter 56: Diagnosis

Upon hearing this, everyone became nervous.

“Ah… are we going to examine patients directly? Isn’t this too soon?”

“Exactly, we’ve only had such a short training period. How can we possibly treat patients?”

The crowd murmured, feeling uneasy about the upcoming practical examination.

Tang Xiaorou’s expression remained unchanged. Based on the written exam, she didn’t expect the practical exam to be too difficult, so she sat quietly without speaking.

At this time, the teacher in charge of the practical exam spoke.

“Those whose names I call, come up. Those whose names aren’t called, wait outside.” The teacher then called four names. Tang Xiaorou wasn’t among them, so she stood up and went outside.

Seeing this, the others also stood up and went out.

“I wonder what kind of problems these four patients have. I guess their problems are different. What if I happen to see one I don’t know how to treat?”

“Yeah, I’m worried about that too. We definitely have our own strengths and weaknesses. If we encounter a disease we’re not familiar with, we’re done for.”

Everyone was worried, except for Tang Xiaorou and Yang Moli.

Others naturally noticed this, but they weren’t familiar with Tang Xiaorou, and didn’t know her medical skills. They only knew that this woman was not easy to mess with, so no one spoke to Tang Xiaorou. Instead, they looked at Yang Moli with envy.

“Moli, you don’t have to worry at all. With your relationship with Director Yang, you’ll definitely pass.”

“Yeah, once you get your certificate, you can work at the hospital.”

Hearing this, Yang Moli smugly said, “Of course. Director Yang is my uncle, I’m definitely going to stay here as a doctor.” She then glanced at Tang Xiaorou. “Unlike some self-righteous people who think they can pass the exam just by taking it.”

Tang Xiaorou raised an eyebrow at Yang Moli. No wonder this person was so arrogant.  She was Director Yang’s niece. However, Director Yang was refined and gentle, while Yang Moli was arrogant and self-important. They were completely different. Yang Moli was a disgrace to Director Yang.

“Hey… I’m talking to you. Are you hard of hearing?”

Tang Xiaorou originally didn’t want to pay attention, but Yang Moli was really annoying.  “So you’re Director Yang’s niece. But I’m curious, if you don’t meet the exam standards, can you really stay at the hospital as a doctor? If so, I’ll report this to the relevant department. After all, if you can’t treat patients and yet stay at the hospital, aren’t you harming people?”

Yang Moli didn’t expect the other party to dare to speak so boldly even after knowing that Director Yang was her uncle. “You just wait. You won’t have an easy time in this exam.”

“Heh… I’ll be waiting.”

Tang Xiaorou looked at Yang Moli with a mocking smile. She also felt a little sympathy for Director Yang. Having such a ‘good’ niece was a recipe for disaster.

Seeing Tang Xiaorou’s defiant attitude, everyone looked at her in surprise, and began to guess her background.  She didn’t even care about Yang Moli, perhaps her connections were even stronger than Director Yang’s.

Just as everyone was deep in thought, the four people inside the exam came out, and the teacher called in more people.

Now everyone lost interest in chatting, all wanting to ask about the situation. However, the teacher had anticipated this and sent the four who had finished the exam to another room. “Don’t try to exchange information with each other. Even if you do, it’s useless.

They couldn’t even figure out the patients’ problems.”

Hearing this, everyone quickly dropped the topic, but they became even more worried.

Tang Xiaorou was left in peace. When her turn came, she went straight in. Coincidentally, Yang Moli was in the same group, but she didn’t even glance at Yang Moli.

“Tang Xiaorou, your patient is Liu Yingxian. Come over here.”

“Okay.”

After Tang Xiaorou went over, she looked directly at the patient and said, “Madam, let me take your pulse first.”

“Alright… okay.”

Liu Yingxian smiled and extended her hand. She knew that these candidates were going to examine patients today, so she cooperated fully. However, after Tang Xiaorou took her pulse, she saw the increasingly serious expression on the other’s face and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong, young doctor? Could there be something wrong with my body?”

It shouldn’t be.

Before they came, they had already been examined by a doctor.  Their conditions had all been confirmed before they came. There shouldn’t be any problems with her body. It was just that at her age, she suddenly had her period again. The doctor had already said that all she needed was a prescription for An Lao Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine formula).

After Tang Xiaorou withdrew her hand, she directly stated Liu Yingxian’s condition:  menopausal bleeding.

“This isn’t a big problem.  All you need is a prescription for An Lao Tang. I can write you a prescription later. However, besides this problem, you have another one.”

“What problem?”

Liu Yingxian asked curiously.  She had just been examined by a senior doctor, and the senior doctor hadn’t mentioned any other problems, so she didn’t take Tang Xiaorou’s words seriously.

Even the teacher kept looking over here, eventually coming over.

“Tang Xiaorou, you’ve already diagnosed the condition, and your judgment is completely correct. The prescription is also correct. Now you just need to write down the prescription for An Lao Tang.” This teacher had seen Tang Xiaorou’s written exam paper and knew she was a promising student.  Seeing that Tang Xiaorou was about to mention additional problems, she quickly intervened.

The more she said, the more mistakes she might make. She didn’t need to say anything else.

Tang Xiaorou wrote down the prescription for An Lao Tang: Astragalus, Atractylodes, Angelica, Ginseng… After she finished writing and handed the prescription to the teacher, she still said what she hadn’t finished saying earlier, “This patient also has a lung problem. It’s best to get a check-up.”

“What? A lung problem? But I don’t feel any discomfort at all.”

Liu Yingxian frowned and said, then looked at the teacher in charge of the exam and said, “Why is this young doctor cursing others with illness?”

Tang Xiaorou said earnestly, “Madam, when you have time, find a specialist doctor for a check-up.”

However, Liu Yingxian didn’t appreciate it at all. “What’s wrong with you, young lady? I’ve already said I’m not sick. Why are you still cursing me with illness?” In the end, she was very unhappy.

The teacher quickly winked at Tang Xiaorou, and finally asked her to leave early. “Go to the other room. Your practical exam is over.”

Seeing this, Tang Xiaorou didn’t say anything more.

Yang Moli snorted from the side, saying, “She really thinks highly of herself. She’s definitely not going to have a good time in this exam.”

However, the final result disappointed Yang Moli. Tang Xiaorou successfully obtained her certificate in the afternoon.

“Xiao Tang, I knew you could do it! Let’s go back to the pharmacy now.”

However, Tang Xiaorou stopped Old Yu and asked, “Old Yu, do you know where Director Yang is?”
