Chapter 30 Elder Xu Argues with a Group of Doctors_2

"That's what those of the lower strata do; how can it be compared with practicing medicine?" someone retorted, unconvinced.

"Doctors, too, are not ranked among the Upper Nine Streams," Elder Xu continued to rebuff.

Uncle Song, standing to the side, looked at him with admiration. Indeed, he was worthy of being the old master's dear friend, truly unorthodox, and clearly on their side.

"You!" The crowd was rendered speechless, frustrated at being blocked; the status of medicine, although special, still fell among the lower ranks of craftsmen—this was an indisputable fact, and one that those in the medical profession least wished to admit!

"Even if she is a woman, I've never heard of her having medical skills, so how can she practice medicine?" someone backpedaled.
