A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Before the Spring Festival, another good thing happened. Lu Cheng's medical skills were finally upgraded to level three.

That night, after a busy day, Lu Cheng received a system prompt:

"Congratulations, host. Zhang Youfu, a villager from Guanzi Village, has recovered from his illness after being treated by the host. Medical experience +1. The host's medical experience is full and can be upgraded to level 3."

Lu Cheng glanced at Xiu Lian who was already asleep next to him, and then clicked on the upgrade button.

The next moment, Lu Cheng appeared in a hospital in the virtual space again, and a patient appeared in front of him.

Lu Cheng was no longer surprised. He skillfully diagnosed the patient, drew the corresponding conclusion, and started treatment and prescribed medicine.

Every time a patient is encountered, the system will make a detailed evaluation based on Lu Cheng's treatment process and results.

Not only that, in order to improve the medical skills to the third level, the knowledge to be mastered is more extensive and complex, and the diagnosis and treatment experience to be accumulated is also more extensive.

Level three medical skills are equivalent to the best doctors in county hospitals.

Moreover, after reaching the third level of medical skills, one will begin to be divided into different departments, including internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry, pediatrics, gynecology, infectious diseases, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, etc.

If an ordinary doctor wants to reach a level of proficiency or above in one of the subjects, he needs to spend a lot of time and energy on learning and accumulating knowledge.

As for Lu Cheng, no matter how much time passed in the system's simulation space, only a moment passed in the real world.

Theoretically, if Lu Cheng is willing to stay in the simulation space to study, master all the knowledge and skills, accumulate all the experience, and become an all-round third-level doctor.

However, this is not actually the case.

Just after Lu Cheng focused on studying pediatrics, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, and cardiovascular medicine, the system issued a prompt:

"Tip: Since the host's current mental strength value is only 14 points, it is not enough to become a general practitioner. For future development considerations, it is recommended that the host focus on specializing in one or two subjects, and focus on understanding and learning the remaining subjects."

Lu Cheng suddenly realized that his mental power was only 14 points. He was not a genius, so it was obviously impossible for him to become an all-round genius doctor.

Moreover, in the field of medicine, the more complex the diseases are, the more detailed the classifications become. The Department of Respiratory Medicine alone covers many diseases of the entire respiratory system and its content is extremely complex.

If you want to become an authoritative expert in a certain field, you need to delve deeply into that specific field and study it carefully throughout your life.

Fortunately, the content of the third-level medical skills is not too complicated, so Lu Cheng can learn more.

If it comes to level four or five content, with Lu Cheng's 14 points of mental strength, he simply cannot take care of too much content.

However, compared with the complex and detailed divisions of Western medicine, Chinese medicine is more comprehensive.

Although TCM also has internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, etc., the theoretical basis of TCM is more inclined to be holistic, believing that the human body itself is a whole and that a single move can affect the whole body.

Western medicine focuses on eliminating the painful area and focuses on the disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on a person's overall Qi flow. Although people of different ages and genders have their own physical characteristics, Chinese medicine is generally used to regulate a person's Qi flow and restore them to normal.

Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own characteristics and advantages.

But in the current environment, traditional Chinese medicine has not developed very well.

Even in the following decades, Western medicine has always had an absolute advantage. In later times, some remote areas even have no Chinese medicine hospitals. Even in some Chinese medicine hospitals, Western medicine accounts for a large proportion.

It was not until later that more and more attention was paid to the development of traditional Chinese medicine and the training of traditional Chinese medicine talents.

But by that time, many traditional Chinese medicine traditions had been cut off, fake Chinese medicine had ruined its reputation, and the development of Chinese medicine was not so smooth.

If Lu Cheng wants to come into contact with as many patients as possible in the future and improve his medical skills, it might be more appropriate for him to choose Western medicine.

But Lu Cheng still wanted to study Chinese medicine, preserve this cultural treasure that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, and make some contributions to the development of Chinese medicine.

The system’s simulation space contains the most detailed teaching and the richest knowledge, which is enough for Lu Cheng to pass on traditional Chinese medicine.

Moreover, when we travel back to ancient times in the future and when Western medicine is no longer available, traditional Chinese medicine will have an absolute advantage.

Therefore, Lu Cheng decided to study traditional Chinese medicine, while also learning some basic knowledge of Western medicine.

Just after Lu Cheng made up his mind, the environment in the simulation space suddenly changed from a large hospital to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

An old Chinese doctor in a long robe appeared in front of him and was diagnosing a patient.

Lu Cheng seemed to have become an apprentice, learning attentively from his master.

"Lu Cheng, do you remember the diagnosis process and the prescription I just gave the patient?"

"Disciple remembers it."

"Then can you tell me in detail about this patient's condition and why I prescribed this medicine for him?"

"Okay, this patient has a cold..."

Lu Cheng had completely forgotten the time. Like an apprentice, he was learning how to process various Chinese herbal medicines, memorizing medical books one after another, learning the most basic acupuncture, observation, smell, questioning and palpation, and how to prescribe medicine according to prescriptions...

I don’t know how long it had been, maybe three to five years, maybe seven to eight years, Lu Cheng began to become a doctor in a clinic, diagnosing and treating patient after patient, and watching one patient after another recover.

Not only that, the Chinese medicine master also taught Lu Cheng a complete set of health-preserving boxing called "Eight-Section Brocade".

Lu Cheng practiced it many times and finally mastered this health-preserving boxing technique.

Compared with Western medicine, which can use the examination results of various instruments to judge the patient's condition, Chinese medicine relies more on the doctor's ability and experience, which requires more time to accumulate.

Moreover, if you want to truly master Chinese medicine, you also need to learn some philosophical theoretical knowledge related to Chinese medicine, and have an in-depth understanding of Chinese medicine's yin and yang, five elements, the harmony between man and nature, etc.

Lu Cheng didn't know how many years he had studied. When he finally reached the third-level standard in traditional Chinese medicine, it felt like more than ten years had passed.

But when Lu Cheng opened his eyes, Xiu Lian was still sleeping beside him. Her steady, powerful breathing was rhythmic, her face was rosy and healthy, and there was a different kind of beauty in her sleep.

At this moment, the system gave another prompt:

"Reminder: The host's medical skill level has reached level three, making him a qualified official doctor. From now on, treating simple colds, fevers, and diarrhea will no longer provide the host with medical experience."

Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he felt relieved.

Indeed, if one can become a famous doctor just by treating colds, fevers and diarrhea, then this famous doctor would be too worthless.

However, it may not be so easy to continue to improve the level of medical skills in the future.

Of course, with Lu Cheng's current medical skills and solid foundation, even in the entire Huangyuan City, he is already considered an excellent doctor with superb medical skills.

After tucking the quilt for Xiulian and giving her a light kiss on the forehead, Lu Cheng turned off the oil lamp and lay down on the kang.

Recalling the Eight-Section Brocade he learned in the virtual space, Lu Cheng had a hunch that perhaps his physical fitness could be improved a little more...
