Chapter 20 The Sorrows of the Poor
While they were living a comfortable life, a young man wearing a hoodie, a large dust mask and a white plastic bag came in from Renyuan General Hospital in Chaohu City, Hui Province.
The outpatient building that is crowded and crowded seemed very lively. Director Chang Yingqing of the cardiology department was discussing the patient's treatment plan with the intern physician Ma Xiaoyan who had been in the hospital for one year.
"Teacher Chang! The blood pressure of patients in bed 39 has been unstable, with a maximum high pressure of 230
"No! Just ****!" Dr. Chang didn't raise his eyes and directly made a decision to change the medicine.
"****! Isn't it too early to use this now?" Ma Xiaoyan said with some uncertainty.
**** is an imported drug, and its effect is far beyond the same type of drug in China. Of course, its price is at least twenty times more than that of domestic drugs. What’s more important is that this is not within the reimbursement scope of Agricultural Cooperative Medical Insurance.
"We must be responsible to the patient and cannot let the patient suffer more pain. Using **** also wants the patient to get better as soon as possible," Chang Yingqing said with a serious expression.
"I understand! I'll go and open the order later!" Ma Xiaoyan's face looked a little ugly, but this was the director's decision, so she could only agree.
In the past, she only thought that Dr. Chang was a stingy person and always used drugs with poor results to fool patients. But when he treated patients with the best results, she seemed to think something was wrong.
"The patient in bed 87 has been dizzy, nausea and vomiting these two days. Should we consult several other departments?"
"I probably determined the cause of that patient's condition, but in order to understand the cause of the disease in more detail, further examination is needed. You asked him to do a comprehensive examination, and this time add gastroscopy and bone penetration!"
"Do you have another comprehensive examination. This is the seventh comprehensive examination this month! Full abdominal CT, cardiac color ultrasound, and MRI are too frequent and will cause great sequelae to the patient! It may cause local cancer!"
"It doesn't matter! The patient is only 58 years old. All parts of his body are intact. The radiation power is not enough to form cancerous cells. I am also worried that the patient will get sick again after he returns home. We want each patient to be discharged from the hospital without any injuries!"
"But...!" Ma Xiaoyan remembered the horrible expression of the patient's family like a social person whenever the patient was examined. She was a little afraid to ask the vicious person to sign the consent form.
"No, but! I'm also thinking about you. You will soon publish your master's thesis. This time the patient is a very typical case. Every change in his medication is very precious. With these information, you will write a very good paper and can also accumulate rich treatment experience for the treatment of such cases."
"Okay!" After Ma Xiaoyan thought about it, she remembered that the previous papers had been recognized by several medical doctors, and a firm look was revealed in her eyes.
In the face of a bright future, she decided to throw away her moral integrity a little, which was also for the sake of thousands of patients in the future. She thought comfortingly.
"The patients in the 7th bed in the special care unit have improved. Should they be transferred to the general ward for observation and treatment? The patients in the 95th bed have deteriorated a little and they need to be closely monitored!"
"I'll let the old man be discharged from the hospital! I've been here for almost a week, so I'll let the family go back and recuperate slowly!
Previously, President Cai said it clearly at a meeting. Don’t let patients think that our hospital only has complete equipment and experienced doctors. We are a caring hospital. It is our purpose!
You go to prepare for the 87th bed examination. I personally called Section Chief Yang to ask him to pick up his father and discharge him. The Health Bureau is as close as a family in our hospital. I should go to see him off even if the old man was discharged from the hospital!”
"Then I'm going out!" After Ma Xiaoyan said that, she turned around and went out, but a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, which made Chang Yingqing see clearly.
He didn't blame Ma Xiaoyan for his disgusting eyes. In fact, he also hated himself a little now, but! Everyone has times when they can't help themselves!
In the past, he was also a doctor with noble medical ethics. When he switched to this private hospital two years ago, he would collect a banner sent by the patient's family every day, so that the hospital specially prepared a collection room for him to store too many banners that had no place to be placed.
But compared to the banners he received in his more than 20 years of medical practice, these are far from anything. Just when he felt that he would enter the year of knowing destiny with the wishes of countless people, his life changed.
That was nine months ago, when a group of master's students came to their hospital for internships, and Ma Xiaoyan was assigned to his department.
At that time, he had a good impression of Ma Xiaoyan. This young girl in her twenties had infinite interest in learning and enthusiasm, and was careful and gentle. Even he felt inferior to the latest medical theories. She was simply a natural doctor seedling.
The only drawback is that she doesn't understand the worldly ways. She always wants to use the best medicine for the patients and do the most subtle examinations for the patients.
The most common thing she said was, "We can't let patients suffer more pain!", "We can't let patients be discharged with injuries!" and so on.
This idea is good, but she ignored one thing: not every patient has relatives named Jack Ma or Ma Huateng, and most of the people who come to see the doctor are middle-class and farmers.
Judging from his 20 years of experience in medical treatment, he felt that in addition to treating diseases and saving people, he should consider the actual situation of the patient. If the patient's family is in a difficult situation, he should use the cheapest medicine and examination to cure the patient. He cannot save one person and destroy the family. This is the medical ethics and kindness of a doctor.
However, he did not point out these things directly, but wanted her to feel grateful to the patient with her heart, which would resonate with her more.
After returning from a test after going out, Ma Xiaoyan ran over with a proud look on her face and told him that it took her only ten days to cure a very difficult case.
He felt something was wrong at that time. When he went to the ward to check the patient who was about to be discharged, he was shocked when he saw the patient and his family were full of resentment!
After so many years of being a doctor, the cured patient was not grateful to him. The patient's family wanted to create a tablet of immortality for him. No patient would have looked at him resentfully.
Later, he learned from the treatment plan why the patient was resentful. The patient's net expenses for 100,000 in 12 days of admission to the hospital were 100,000. This should be an unbearable fee for the young man wearing a street sleek street stall!
Not only that! Because Ma Xiaoyan used too many imported special medicines when she was hospitalized, the patient had become resistant to ordinary drugs. During the subsequent recovery process, the patient also had to take extremely expensive imported special medicines every day to maintain his life. This is simply a bottomless pit.
But now that things have come to this point, it is useless no matter how much you say it. Even if you scold Ma Xiaoyan hard, you can't save anything. He can only sigh inwardly that patient is in trouble.
This was the end of the matter, but when the president held a summary meeting that month, Ma Xiaoyan was praised in public and called on more doctors to learn from her, just because she created a lot of income for the hospital.
Later, the dean also hinted that if he did not make any changes, Ma Xiaoyan would replace him as the chief physician of the cardiology department.
This made him confused, and then he remembered that this hospital was not a state-owned enterprise, but a private hospital opened.
To be more precise, it is a private enterprise run by a capitalist. Although it requires reputation here, it wants them to create rich benefits, which is contrary to his philosophy of practicing medicine.
While he was wandering between conscience and dignity, he happened to encounter his son driving and killing an old lady, and was asked to compensate 500,000 yuan. This was almost all the savings of his half-life practice of medicine.
Under the heavy pressure on both sides, he made a choice, unwilling to fall back into poverty in middle age.
After that, he slowly lost his conscience, and the storage room where the pennants was stored never included a pennant. In contrast, he began to gain more and more practical benefits.
Now looking at the Cartier watch in his hand, thinking about the more famous wives on his body, the son and daughter-in-law who live in high-end communities by the lake, he can only think of a trendy vocabulary, the more depraved he becomes, the happier he is!
For those patients who were sucked into the hospital by bones and marrow, what he wanted to say was, "Who made you sick!"
"Who are you? Uh!"
As various thoughts flashed by in his mind, he suddenly heard Ma Xiaoyan, who was about to push the door out, let out a strange muffled groan.
He looked up and saw a man wearing a hoodie and a mask pushing the door in, turning his hand back and taking the door. Looking at the plastic bag in his hand, Chang Yingqing thought that this was the family of the patient who was going to give him a gift.
But the next moment, he could see something was wrong. The masked man grabbed Ma Xiaoyan's tender neck with his hands and lifted the petite Ma Xiaoyan up.
"Uh!" Just as he was about to scream in surprise.
The man who was still a few meters away rushed to him instantly, and a sharp fruit knife spread across his neck. The cold touch suppressed the sound he was about to shout.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong!" A knock on the door sounded, "Doctor Chang! The patient in bed 66 felt a little dizzy. Can you go and take a look?"
Looking at the other party's deadly and dark eyes and feeling the cold stinging pain on his neck, he knew whether he could survive now depends on his eloquence and on-the-spot performance!
"I'm discussing an important topic with Dr. Ma. You go and find Dr. Pan! Let him help take care of him for a while!"
"Okay!" The nurse at the door responded, and the footsteps slowly faded away.
"Sir! Just say whatever you have. Think of your family and friends, who will never want you to go on the path of crime."
"Doctor Chang! You may not remember me, but I have always been obsessed with you!"
,
The cold tone of the masked man made Chang Yingqing feel sad. He didn't know what was going on now, and he didn't even know how to continue the conversation. In order not to touch the lightning, he acted as if he listened and waited for the words.
"My mother was hospitalized a few months ago due to angina pectoris, and she was discharged from the hospital because of liver cancer!"
A burst of white-haired sweat suddenly appeared on Chang Yingqing's forehead. He didn't remember the person's mother when he was, but in the past few months, several patients who had overdose examinations had a little cancer cell appearance.
He was still panicked at that time, but he thought that these examinations were signed by the patient's family, and even if he was found, he could not find out.
For the sake of reputation, he also deliberately pushed the time for several patients to get cancer, causing him to have the illusion of hidden cancer cells. For this reason, he was praised by several leaders of the dean!
"After going back, my girlfriend broke up with me under the pressure of her parents. My mother also took medicine to commit suicide because she didn't want to implicate me!"
"Sad! I should have told you that I could not be discharged from the hospital! I would have liked to listen to more advice at that time!"
Chang Yingqing tried hard to play the role of a good doctor who thought about the patient, but his hands kept shaking for some reason.
The masked man looked at Chang Yingqing's eyes, and there were ups and downs under the dust mask as if he was smiling.
How could a person who committed suicide and broke up with his girlfriend? And he laughed while holding these two people hostage, and Chang Yingqing felt a little panicked.
