Together With the System to Become a Pharmacist at Once a Doctor
Chapter 149: Surprised by Price

The herbal formula was exactly what Wang Yao wanted, but it was too expensive for Wang Yao. One formula will give him 80 bonus points. He also needs extra licorice root over the formula, which will be even more expensive.

I wish I could have more bonus points! thought Wang Yao.

The drugstore is amazing. There were many good products in the store, such as licorice root and formula, that could help Wang Yao to treat a difficult illness. But, everything is very expensive.

I should take the time to collect more points and should not rush.

Without the herbal formula of the system, Wang Yao could only choose from the existing herbal formula and make the appropriate adjustments. Otherwise, he would have to use his current knowledge to create a new formula.

Maybe I should come up with a new formula to try! decide Wang Yao. What herbs should I use? I need bupleurum, cohosh, kudzu vine root, notopterygium, radix sileris, licorice, ginseng.

Wang Yao wrote down all the herbs he needed and thought for a moment before turning the two herbs on the list into another potion.

By the time Wang Yao finished all the work, it was already dark.

Inside the village, the lights in the factory were still bright. The workers are busy working in the factory. Villagers could hear the voices if they were nearby.

“The workers are still working at night!” said one of the villagers.

“Just opened; they have to show people how busy they are. Otherwise, they probably won't be able to find employees, ” said another villager living nearby.

Villagers living nearby could not sleep well because of the noise from the factory. Fortunately, the plant stopped operating at about 11 p.m. The village was deserted after 11 p.m. All one could hear was the barking of dogs.

The next morning, Wang Yao received a call from Pan Jun while he was busy working on Nanshan hill. Pan Jun told him that Guo's mother had taken the first dose of Wang Yao's decoction, and he felt much better. So Guo wanted to buy another dose and talk to Wang Yao directly.

Wang Yao decided to meet with Guo in the afternoon.

It was not difficult to prepare a stew; w.a.n.g Yao could brew it in the morning. He had another task to run in the city in the afternoon, so this was a good time to meet with Guo.

Wang Yao passed by the factory in the village in the afternoon. He stopped deliberately to look from the outside but did not see people. He only heard the engine and smelled a strange smell.

He went to the city shortly after to meet Pan Jun at the Reng He clinic.

“Sorry I have to ask you to come here again,” Pan Jun said.

“It's okay,” said Wang Yao.

“Please enter and sit down. I've called Ms. Guo. He will be here soon,” Pan Jun said.

While Wang Yao was still talking to Pan Jun at the entrance of the clinic, Guo had arrived. He's driving here instead of walking this time. The car is a white BMW, which suggests that money should not be a problem for Guo.

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” greet Guo with a smile. Apparently, he was much better off to Wang Yao this time around.

“Halo,” greet Wang Yao.

“How about we go in and talk?” Pan Jun led Wang Yao and Guo to the clinic. There are not many patients in the clinic. However, some patients had already noticed Wang Yao. They begin to get curious about this handsome young man, who has visited the clinic more than once and is friendly with Dr. Pan.

“Thanks to the potion you gave to my mother, she is feeling much better now. His sleep quality improved, and he was more alert and active during the day. Can you tell me how much the stew cost? ” ask Guo.

Wang Yao found it difficult when talking about fees. The herbs in the decoction were not all ordinary herbs, which he could easily find the price on the market. He also added the Moonlight potion in the decoction. The moonlight herb is licorice root that cannot be bought with money.

After purchasing herbs a few times from the drugstore in the system, Wang Yao roughly found a connection between bonus points and money. One bonus point is equivalent to ten thousand yuan. For example, Wang Yao spent ten bonus points to purchase one Moonlight potion, so one Moonlight potion would cost a hundred thousand yuan.

A healthy person would not even spend ten yuan to buy licorice root. But for people who have a life-threatening illness and really need licorice root to save it, they would be willing to pay over a million without hesitation.

“Ten thousand,” Wang Yao said after thinking for a while.

Ten thousand was only the main cost, perhaps even less than the main cost since Wang Yao also used wild herbs to brew stews, including shiny ganoderma and ginseng. Even though he only used two leaves of the Moonlight herb, the cost was still high.

“Ten thousand? So expensive!” Guo opened his eyes wide.

He had never heard of a dose of such a stew.

He was not the only one in shock, nor was Pan Jun.

Ten thousand yuan for the dose of decoction! He really had the guts to charge that much! thought Pan Jun.

It was unknown how Pan Jun would react if he knew someone had paid over a million for a single dose of Wang Yao's stew.

Wang Yao smiled looking at Pan Jun and Ms. Guo surprised.

“Dr. Pan, may I ask what medicine is the most expensive in your clinic?” asked Wang Yao.

“I'm not sure. But I know Haiqu hospital used to import this type of injection to stop internal bleeding from overseas that cost over seven thousand yuan a dose because it was a genetic drug. The drug called Gleevec costs 240 thousand yuan per pack,” Pan Jun said.

“The reason why it is so expensive is because only this can cure Ms.'s mother. Guo because of its incredible effect. As far as I know, my herbs are not the most expensive,” Wang Yao said.

Why some western medicines can be so expensive and people are still willing to pay, while some Chinese herbs are as effective as those western medicines, but people are reluctant to pay. Some Chinese herbs are even better than western medicine. The only difference is that they are not purified or processed, Wang Yao thought.

“I understand, Dr. Wangs. But it's too expensive for me,” Guo said in a dilemma.

She definitely wanted her mother to recover, but she didn't think she could afford the cost. If his mother needed ten doses of herbs from Wang Yao, he would have to spend a hundred thousand yuan.

Wang Yao shook his head with a smile.

“OK, I will accept the change,” said Ms. Guo.

The cost of the stew was beyond his imagination. He really did not want to spend so much money on herbs. It's robbery! thought Guo.

“Please give me time to make adjustments,” said Wang Yao.

“Alright, thank you very much.” Guo stood up and left the room.

“Dr. Wang, your watch is too expensive!” pan Jun said after Guo left.

“Really? I don't think so,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

Tens of grams of Da Hong Pao tea could cost tens of thousands of yuan, but it would not treat any illness. One Clivia plant could also cost tens of thousands of yuan, but it would not calm and calm one's nerves.

Health is priceless.

Some people are willing to pay thousands, even millions of yuan to live several years longer.

Everything in this world has different functions and values.

Some people will pay thousands of yuan to buy a leather jacket without blinking, but they will spend hours bargaining with fruit sellers. Some people will spend a lot of money on useless foot therapy at a bash center but are reluctant to trust a doctor who charges a reasonable fee.

Wang Yao began to realize that he was relying too much on licorice root. He decided to avoid the use of licorice root for common ailments.

“By the way, I want you to work here as a consultant,” Pan Jun said.

“Consultation? But I'm worried I don't have much time to spend here,” Wang Yao said in surprise.

It was impossible for Wang Yao to work full-time in the clinic at this stage.

“I don't need you to work full time here. You just have to come here one day a week,” Pan Jun explained.

“Thank you, but I can't accept your current offer.” Wang Yao shook his head. Although he could find more patients here to improve his experience and help him complete the mission given by the system, he had yet to obtain a medical certificate. He could still take care of people informally and personally, just like the patient introduced by Tian Yuantu who was a trusted friend. Patients, family members, and doctors are in and out of the clinic at all times. If someone found him practicing without a medical certificate and reported it, Wang Yao would get into serious trouble. Especially at present, national medical authorities are more strict against any errors in the medical system. Punishment for wrongdoing and illegal behavior is getting tougher.

“Upah is negotiable,” Pan Jun said.

“Upah is not a problem. I just don't have time,” said Wang Yao.

“Yah ..” Pan Jun doesn't know what to say next.

“How about calling me if you need Me? I'll come if I'm available. But I don't want to get into trouble” Wang Yao suggested.

“I understand. Most patients here have only minor problems. We will not accept anyone with a life-threatening illness,” Pan Jun said.

“Good,” said Wang Yao.

“You will be paid 300 yuan plus travel allowance for each visit. What say?” pan Jun said. This is just the average salary for a doctor.

Some specialists can charge several thousand, even tens of thousands of yuan for a single visit, let alone the cost for the operation. But for a small clinic, 300 yuan per visit is already very cheap.

“OK,” said Wang Yao.

He doesn't care about the money. He only cared about the opportunity to care for more patients.

“Good, I will prepare the contract,” said Pan Jun.

Wang Yao declined Pan Jun's lunch invitation because he had some errands to run in the afternoon. In fact, his main purpose of visiting Lianshan was to see Li Maoshang.

“Hai, you don't seem to be busy lately,” Li Maoshang welcomed Wang Yao and made him a cup of tea.

“Actually, I am very busy,” Wang Yao said with a smile. He's telling the truth. He's very busy.

“Haha, I wish I could be busy too, busy with the heavenly lifestyle on the hill,” Li Maoshuang said.

“I actually want to ask for your help,” said Wang Yao.

“Ya?” ask Li Maoshang.

“I need some wild herbs as soon as possible,” said Wang Yao.

“Do you have a list of herbs?” ask Li Maoshuang.

“This is it.” Wang Yao placed the list on the table.
