Chapter 804: Only 1

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Chunjian couldn't drink it anymore, and bought autumn tea to enjoy it. This is probably the mentality of the Wang family in the hospital.

The ICU, as the nobleman among the hospital's gold-swallowing beasts, spent more than 100,000 yuan from the Wang family in just one week. Although the later expenses were significantly reduced, the first week still wiped out the foundation of the Wang family. .

For ordinary wage-earners, the average daily consumption of 10,000 yuan, even if they have medical insurance in the later stage, still makes people want to die.

Fortunately, the patient's condition improved day by day, coupled with Zuo Cidian's persuasion, Wang Zhong's family managed to persevere.

But he insisted on it quite reluctantly.

Zhang Anmin watched Wang Zhong's eldest son, from eating KFC takeaway to steamed buns and pickles, but he had no choice but to be careful when prescribing medicine.

As a surgeon, he can't even guarantee a perfect operation, let alone a patient's financial problems.

If anything, Zhang Anmin had never encountered such a patient or family member before. Most of the surgeries he performed in the past were cholecystectomy. He paid 10,000 to 20,000 yuan at his own expense, and the medical insurance may only cost a few hundred to 1,000 yuan. .

But liver cancer surgery is different. The cost before and after liver resection alone is several times that of cholecystectomy, and the post-care costs and expenses are even higher.

early morning.

After another operation, Zhang Anmin habitually went to see the patient Wang Zhong in the ICU.

"He's been sent back to the general ward." The nurse in the ICU gave Zhang Anmin the answer when he saw Zhang Anmin.

Zhang Anmin was stunned: "Why are you sent back now? At least two or three days."

"The patient is strongly demanding, and they can't afford the money anymore." The ICU nurse, who is used to these things, said without any surprise: "Now I am sent to the intensive care unit, which means that the course of the disease will be longer. The patient strongly demands that we There is no way."

"Doctor Ling waived a lot of fees for the signature."

"ICU fees cannot be waived." The nurse replied and ignored Zhang Anmin.

Zhang Anmin returned to the operating area in a daze.

For the doctors in Ling's treatment group, staying in the operating area is more relaxing. After all, when you stay in the ward, you have to write medical records, see patients, answer questions from family members, make ward rounds and prescribe medicines to manage the small group of doctors...

The temperature in the operation area is suitable, maintained at a constant temperature, neither hot nor cold, which made Zhang Anmin feel a little calmer.

"What are you thinking?" Zuo Cidian seemed to be on patrol, looking at Zhang Anmin with a wrong expression.

Zhang Anmin was not embarrassed at all, and said, "As for Wang Zhong's matter, he was moved out of the ICU today because he had no money. After all, it was my first liver cancer operation. I feel a little strange..."

In his heart, Zhang Anmin was obsessed with Wang Zhong because he performed the first liver resection after he was promoted to deputy high school.

Zuo Cidian didn't need to guess what Zhang Anmin was thinking, he just listened to his explanation and nodded slowly: "I can't bear to think about this kind of thing, and I don't feel happy thinking about it."

"That's right. Hey, in my opinion, Dr. Ling has reduced their fees so much. With this money, it's enough for them to stay for a few more days, and then change wards normally. Stay for a few more days , the infection can be controlled, and patients can suffer less, right?"

"In terms of suffering, the ICU is among the best." Zuo Cidian paused for a moment, and then said: "You are thinking very well, thinking that the reduced fees can offset the ICU money, but in fact, the money saved is the cost of others. If you want to calculate the money, many people only spend a few days in the ICU for the money they earn in a year."

"If you put it this way, many Africans can't even earn enough money for this operation." Zhang Anmin retorted, thought for a while, and said, "Say, can we reduce the cost? "

"If you want more reductions, you must get Director Huo's nod." Zuo Cidian said calmly: "Director Huo, it's not like Dr. Ling is so easy to fool.

"

Zhang Anmin was not surprised.

Reduction of fees is not just talking about it. Not to mention how much paperwork has to be done, but the amount of money reduced or exempted has a quota and frequency. After all, Yunyi is still a financial differential appropriation unit, and the reduced or exempted fees are equivalent to subsidies from the government.

Zhang Anmin really didn't have the confidence to want Director Huo to agree to the use of such a sum of money.

"Yes, if I didn't say anything, let Director Huo agree, I might as well pay the money myself." Zhang Anmin shook his head, also persuading himself to give up.

"What do you want Director Huo to agree to?" Ling Ran came from behind.

Ling Ran is still very responsible for the internal work of Ling's treatment team and the emergency center.

Zhang Anmin turned around stiffly, and looked nervously at Zuo Cidian.

He didn't know whether he should answer Ling Ran's question.

"Say it." Zuo Cidian directly gave a clear indication.

So Zhang Anmin had no choice but to repeat the matter again.

Zuo Cidian immediately said: "My suggestion is not to open this hole. We do liver resection every day. This is a major operation. It is complicated and expensive. To be honest, it can use one or two months' income. , Not one percent of the people who managed to get the surgery done.”

Zhang Anmin looked at Zuo Cidian in astonishment: Didn't you tell me to say it?

Zuo Cidian glanced at Zhang Anmin, and said directly: "I have to refer to Dr. Ling's suggestions. If you don't tell me, you won't even have a chance to refer."

Zhang Anmin was speechless, but had to accept Zuo Cidian's feelings.

Ling Ran thought for a while, and said, "Then check the ward in advance and go to the ward to have a look."

"Should the surgery be delayed?" Yu Yuan asked after her.

"You are the head of the hospital, so you do the surgery first." The next operation is cholecystectomy, which is still covered by Yu Yuan's skills.

Yu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Everyone turned around collectively, heading to the ward without any change in formation.

...

intensive care unit.

Wang Zhong was lying on his back on the hospital bed, with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.

It has been more than a week since the operation ended, and if it was a young man, he would have already started to think about leaving the hospital. However, for an old man who is over sixty years old, a liver resection is like cutting off half of his life.

He also didn't want to use more painkillers, for fear of becoming addicted, so he endured it by himself. Until now, his lips were full of ulcers, so that he couldn't even bite his teeth.

"That nutritional medicine, albumin, do you want to use another bottle?" The eldest son looked at his father's painful expression and whispered empathetically.

"A nutritional medicine is a nutritional medicine, and it doesn't cure a disease, so that's fine."

"Money should be used wisely."

The two relatives also said something in a low voice.

The eldest son has no money in his hands, and he has to borrow money if he wants to use it. If his relatives do not support him, he will not be hardened.

Wang Zhong moved his neck at this time, and said: "After the operation, just fall asleep, you all go, I don't need anyone to accompany me."

After speaking, he coughed.

The son hurried up to persuade him, and other relatives got up to leave one after another.

Wang Zhong still closed his eyes and said: "Don't run anymore, I know my body, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a few days."

"Let me take a look." Ling Ran heard Wang Zhong's words when he walked to the door.

Wang Zhong's eyes opened suddenly, and he said in surprise, "Doctor Ling?"

"Well, just lie down and don't move." Ling Ran stepped forward for a physical examination.

Wang Zhong did not move at all.

"From the report, it looks like your body is recovering well." Ling Ran stood up: "How do you feel?"

"Very good." Uncle Wang smiled.

"Looking at it this way, the only obstacle to recovery is financial pressure?" Ling Ran turned to Zuo Cidian.

Zuo Cidian thought for a while: "Is it like this?"

"That's it." Zhang Anmin answered quickly.

"Then do as you said, and fill in the report to Director Huo." Ling Ran nodded and went out without saying much.
