My family has passed down a medical skill for generations, and as the sole inheritor of my family, I naturally embarked on the path of a clinician.
However, when I meet a patient, my legacy will also face unprecedented challenges.
It was a spring morning, and I was sorting out the medical materials for the clinic at home when I received an urgent call.
She said that she was working on the farm and was accidentally stabbed, and the wound was still covered in coarse cloth and festered. As soon as I looked, there was a pocket of pus around the wound that needed to be treated as soon as possible.
I immediately started using Chinese medicine and acupuncture to treat my aunt. My aunt held her breath and endured the pain of acupuncture, and I was also engrossed in treating her wounds.
In the face of my superb medical skills, my aunt was very grateful, she said with emotion that she didn't know that her wounds could be healed, and thanked me for saving her life.
However, just as I was happily saying goodbye to my aunt and leaving, something unexpected happened. My classmate Xiao Li was not kind to me, he always sowed discord and played right and wrong.
He accused me of ignoring my personal interests and revealing my family's medical skills.
I retorted to Xiao Li angrily, I said: "The medical Tao is ruthless, I don't care about anyone's healing, not to mention, I save people's lives and build a seventh-level floating slaughter, why bother with this."
At this moment, the teacher passed by and saw that I suddenly picked up a weapon to my classmates, thinking that I was fighting, and immediately raised his hand and slapped me.
The teacher explained the misunderstanding and told me to take responsibility for my actions and apologize to Xiao Li after class.
So far, although all my classmates are grateful for my medical skills, I know that I must also be vigilant and volunteer to save others and discipline myself.
Although I later apologized to Xiao Li, this incident left a rift between us. He became more aloof and avoided me.
When I got home, I told my father about it. My father is the inheritor of the family's medical skills and my mentor.
Your rash actions have disgraced our family.
I was very aggrieved after hearing this, and I said, "Father, I obviously wanted to save people, but Xiao Li misunderstood my intentions." I really didn't expect to make such a big fuss.
The father shook his head and said, "For whatever reason, you beat someone in front of your classmates, which is exactly what family medicine should not do.
I felt daunted, and I was frustrated by my father's rebuke. I always thought that I was very good at medicine, but I didn't expect that there were so many deficiencies in dealing with things.
As the days passed, Xiao Li continued to avoid me, and my father became more and more strict with me.
My faith in the craft began to waver, and I began to doubt whether I was fit to inherit the family medicine.
In the midst of such confusion, I stumbled upon a conversation with my family. They talked about the inheritance of family medicine, about traditions that I didn't know before.
This made me feel even more heavy, and I realized that in order to become a true healer, you must not only have excellent medical skills, but also have an extraordinary mind and determination.
However, just as I was making up my mind, a letter from home broke the peace in my heart. It was a letter from the countryside, and the sender turned out to be an elderly grandfather.
After reading this letter, I suddenly had an epiphany. The true meaning of family medicine does not lie in the mastery of skills, but in the mind of the healer.
But at the same time as I realized, something unexpected happened at home. It turned out that when my father was dealing with the family's medical affairs, he made a wrong decision, which led to a serious medical accident, which caused widespread controversy among family members.
This shocked me and strengthened my determination to let go of my contradictions and forgiveness.
Now, the conflict in my heart has gradually subsided, and at the same time, I have begun to sort out my responsibilities. I know my father's medical skills, he is a role model for me to learn Xi, and it is also the motivation for me to keep improving.
At this point, my life path continues to extend forward, perhaps, the road of a doctor will not be smooth sailing, but I am willing to accept all these challenges, with a mature attitude and excellent medical skills, to protect the health of life.
A few days later, I sincerely apologized to Xiao Li, but he still had a bad attitude and accepted my apology coldly.
In the family, I am the eldest son in the family, and my parents always wanted me to inherit the family's medical skills, but deep down I didn't particularly like this industry.
These contradictions have always disturbed my heart.
Last year, for the first time in my family, I took on a clinical assignment to see an elderly patient.
My parents were so disappointed in me that they rebuked me for a lot of ancient medical knowledge, and I couldn't accept these teachings, and that's why I had a big estrangement from my parents in my family.
This incident of treating my aunt has worsened our relationship. My parents thought that I was not serious enough about family medicine, and that I was just doing well in the process of treating my aunt, but in their eyes, this was not the most important thing.
And this dispute with Xiao Li made me unable to let go of the pressure in my heart. I knew that I could no longer run away from problems as before, and that I had to face up to my inner conflicts, but it was difficult for me to find a balance between my family's expectations, my own interests and my career development.
Where do I go from here?
Upon entering, I saw my parents sitting in the living room with unkind faces, they had apparently learned about what had happened today.
I felt very aggrieved in the face of my parents' blame. How could they be so ignorant of me? I only had to clash with Xiao Li in order to protect my medical skills and personal dignity.
Now I am in an emotional and moral dilemma, how can I deal with the pressures of my family while maintaining my medical skills and dignity?
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for me.
