China has a vast territory, and the specifications of traditional Chinese medicines vary from place to place, with different names. Mastering Chinese medicine aliases is also a key point. Because every Chinese doctor will write his or her own established name on the prescription, it is one of the most basic knowledge points to learn Chinese medicine to be familiar with these aliases.
When we just graduated, several students who didn't go home wandered around the streets of the provincial capital every day, looking for jobs everywhere.
The Chinese medicine industry has been sluggish and there are few employment opportunities. We have low academic qualifications and no work experience, so it is difficult to find a professional counterpart. The threshold of public hospitals in the provincial capital is so high that we dare not even think about it; Few other units need Chinese medicine majors, so they can only try to run Chinese medicine pharmacies.
At that time, one of my best classmates and I walked the streets to submit resumes and look for job advertisements. Finally, I found a large-scale chain drugstore, which is famous for Chinese medicine in the provincial capital, so we went to apply happily together.
At that time, the pharmacy manager was very easygoing and asked a few questions informally in the chat. I remember when I asked about the alias of Paris, I was quick-witted and my classmates were reserved. I just said it without much thought: Paris is also called Paris, boxing, grass and grass carts, seven leaves and one flower. ...
Just now, the manager told us that there is only one Chinese medicine practitioner here, so let me report tomorrow.
For a long time after that, I felt sorry for my best friend. Fortunately, she also found a job soon, but soon went to her brother. Every time I think about it, it's not all because of the alias of this medicine.
Later, it proved that the manager who is also a teacher, friend and brother is really good. He never puts on airs, and whenever he has time, he goes to our Chinese medicine department to help.
In primary school, we didn't have much demand for abacus calculation, and we forgot several formulas we learned. My father also let me study for a few days, and I am not familiar with addition and subtraction. When we just graduated, we still needed the price of hand animation. Traditional Chinese medicine prescription drawing calculator is not as convenient as abacus. The manager not only helped me master addition and subtraction, but also taught me multiplication and division.
Of course, the abacus has become an antique in recent years, and I have forgotten the addition and subtraction for a long time.
Our pharmacy has a large scale of operation and a complete range of Chinese herbal medicines. Chinese herbal medicines that can't be bought elsewhere can basically be found in our pharmacy, so telephone consultation is common.
One afternoon, the manager received another consultation call. I heard him hesitate to say, Jiegudan, we don't have it here for the time being. Why don't you go to another drugstore and ask again?
I want to say, yes, natural copper is also called Jiegudan. It was not easy to refute at that time, and it was not easy to interrupt the phone. I was still embarrassed to say it, but I held back. The manager hung up the phone, and I tentatively asked: What people are looking for is the patented medicine Jiegudan, not natural copper, right? The manager nodded yes.
In fact, Jiegudan is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, but natural copper has another name. )
As a result, I still feel a little embarrassed, as if showing off how much knowledge I have than the manager.
Later, after the new edition of Pharmacopoeia was published, the prescription writing norms were unified and electronic prescriptions were popularized. Pharmacists no longer have to guess the doctor's standardized or irregular prescriptions, and I have not been in contact with Chinese medicine for many years.
Whenever I mention Chinese medicine aliases, I will think of these two things. I don't know what I would do if I were in this situation now!
