Chapter 181, Should I wait to die if I don't have money?
The crowd cheered and moved out of the way, only to see a tricycle pushing in. There was a dumbfounded man in front of it, and an old man was lying on the tricycle.
The man had dark skin, a round head, and a very tall figure. However, the old man lying on the tricycle had a sallow complexion and a thin body.
Chang Yue's mother said to Zhu Jiujie: "This man's name is Lei Zi, and the person lying behind the car is his father, who suffers from femoral head necrosis."
Zhu Jiujie nodded and said to Lei Zi: "Brother, please don't worry."
Lei Zi said: "Brother-in-law, do you know me?"
Zhu Jiujie said: "I know you, aren't you Lei Zi?"
In fact, Zhu Jiujie didn't know him at all.
Lei Zi was very happy: "Brother-in-law, it turns out you know me. Hey, show it to my dad quickly. The hospital said my dad has femoral head necrosis and needs surgery. Damn it, how can I have the money for surgery?"
Zhu Jiujie said: "Isn't there rural cooperative medical care now? County hospitals are reimbursed 40 to 50 percent."
"What about the remaining 45%? I have to pay out of my own pocket. I have no money. Besides, who doesn't know now that one kind of medicine is reimbursed and the other is not reimbursed? In the past, when reimbursement was not reimbursed, one
The operation cost 3,000 yuan, but now that it is reimbursed, the operation will cost 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. After reimbursement, the reimbursement will still be the same. Did you spend less?"
Zhu Jiujie didn't say anything. He had heard similar complaints from many patients' family members. The original intention of the national medical reform policy was naturally good, but some hospitals had their own strategies on drug prices in order to make profits.
Zhu Jiujie was too lazy to think about this because he was not the dean and could not control the price of medicines.
"Leizi, please level the car and I'll show it to my uncle."
With that said, Zhu Jiujie walked to the front of the carriage, stretched out his hand and put his hand on Lei Zi's dad's wrist. He frowned for a while. Judging from Lei Zi's dad's bloodline, there was blood obstruction.
Lei Zi said: "Brother-in-law, my dad had a X-ray taken in the hospital when he first fell ill. The doctor said that my dad's femoral head necrosis was caused by ankylosing spondylitis. From the X-ray, the gap in the hip joint was small and the round head of the femur was dense.
If it’s not enough, your blood will be unlucky”
Zhu Jiujie asked: "Is it an X-ray or an MRI?"
"It's an X-ray. I don't have money to do an MRI for dad."
"What caused uncle's femoral head necrosis?"
"Well...I can't say for sure. My father has never suffered any trauma, and he doesn't usually take medicine. He never takes injections or medicine for colds. However, my father likes to drink a few sips, especially in winter, and he drinks a few taels every day."
Zhu Jiujie said: "You should also be careful when drinking. Femoral head necrosis, also known as avascular necrosis of the femoral head, is usually caused by the death of bone hematopoietic cells, fat cells, etc. When my uncle got it at first, was it very painful?
.”
"Well, yes, my father sometimes couldn't stand the pain. I bought him a few boxes of Bone Fairy Spirit. After eating it, the pain was slightly relieved. The hospital recommended that my father have an operation. Is this blowing up a balloon? Just open your mouth and inflate.
, This is a real disease, and the surgery costs money. I don’t have money, so when my dad is in pain, I give him some painkillers, but there is nothing I can do.”
Zhu Jiujie said: "Actually, you are right not to perform surgery on your uncle. First, the condition is not serious enough to require surgery. Second, surgery can easily lead to infection and other pathological changes. I just looked at my uncle's bone quality. Although I can't
It doesn't matter at all, but overall the bone quality is good. Try to let your uncle take as little western medicine as possible. Most of the painkillers prescribed by western medicine contain hormones and have serious side effects. The cause of femoral head necrosis is mostly due to meridian stasis.
It is caused by different diseases or kidney deficiency, and it is difficult to cure it. However, it can still be achieved in the long term by relying on our traditional Chinese medicine. Let me prescribe a prescription for you."
As he spoke, Zhu Jiujie found a piece of paper and wrote on it "Pangolin, pangolin, Achyranthes bidentata, dog's spine, blood root, blood elixir, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Wu Yao, Millet Spatholobus, locust, Shenjincao, Eucommia ulmoides,
"Psoralen, dodder" and other Chinese medicinal materials, and told Lei Zi how to use them, and Lei Zi pushed his father out.
Next, Zhu Jiujie diagnosed and treated the conditions of seven or eight blind dates. Seeing that it was getting late, Chang Yue's mother hurriedly said to the blind dates: "Okay, let's go back. It's time for Jiujie to rest."
Naturally, all the villagers refused to leave.
Seeing a doctor is extremely energy-consuming. Zhu Jiujie was indeed a little tired. He clasped his hands and said, "Everyone wants to go back. I will come back another day and treat everyone one by one."
After the villagers dispersed, Zhu Jiujie also came back.
When Zhu Jiujie returned home, it was already evening. Chang Yue called on his cell phone and asked where he was. Only then did Zhu Jiujie remember that he had forgotten to tell Chang Yue that he had been out of the hospital long ago. Zhu Jiujie hurriedly said:
"Chang Yue, I came back early today and am already home. You can come back by yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Jiujie lay on the sofa. He was so exhausted that he soon fell asleep.
This sleep was too short, and Chang Yue entered the house not long after. As soon as she came back, Chang Yue was full of complaints: "Brother-in-law, seriously, why didn't you tell me that you came back early? You can just send a text message."
Zhu Jiujie opened his eyes. As soon as Chang Yue came back, he knew that it would be impossible for him to fall asleep again. Zhu Jiujie steeled himself, sat up and said, "I'm going back to Changzhuang today."
"Wow, why didn't you wait for me to come with you when you returned to Changzhuang?"
Zhu Jiujie told Chang Yue about Chang's wife and the free medical clinic for the people of Changzhuang. By the way, he told Chang Yue that Huzi, whom he met at the last free medical clinic, was also in Changzhuang.
When Chang Yue heard that Zhu Jiujie had been doing free clinics for the people of Changzhuang all afternoon, she suddenly expressed joy: "Brother-in-law, you should have done some good things for the people in my hometown a long time ago. How about it? The people in my hometown have a good impression of you, right?"
.”
Zhu Jiujie nodded: "I suddenly discovered that it is really happy to do good things for the people. This kind of happiness cannot be replaced by any happiness."
"Brother-in-law, you are so great, you actually have such otherworldly thoughts."
"Really, Chang Yue, my brother-in-law is just a mortal, not a great person. However, this feeling only came about recently. My father used to... Okay, I won't say any more. You are hungry, and my brother-in-law will go cook."
"No, no, no, brother-in-law, looking at you, you must be tired. Let me do it while you rest."
With that said, Chang Yue dove into the kitchen.
Zhu Jiujie leaned his head on the sofa and closed his eyes.
Zhu Jiujie felt a little uncomfortable in his head. He knew that he had diagnosed too many people in the afternoon and had not rested for a while. In addition, he had recently practiced clairvoyance and excessively guarded his Dantian, which caused the blood to surge up.
Zhu Jiujie took three deep breaths and placed his mind on his lower Dantian. His head gradually relaxed and the discomfort disappeared.
A night of silence.
But the next day, when Zhu Jiujie arrived at the hospital, he found a man lying on the steps in front of the outpatient clinic, groaning. The man was about twenty years old, his hair was disheveled, his body was covered with mud, and his clothes were scratched several times.
Daokouzi, right arm hanging down.
There were many medical staff standing around, and everyone looked pitiful. Someone said, "Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Jiujie took a closer look and felt that this person looked familiar. After thinking about it again, he remembered that it was Erzi who had given him a free clinic.
I just heard my son say: "My arm hurts so much."
Someone said: "Then go to the surgery and let the experts check if you have a fracture. What's the use of lying here?"
"I...I have no money, I don't have a penny on me."
At this time, a family member of the patient who was watching said: "I know him. His name is Erzi. He is a gambler. He must have lost all his money and was beaten up."
The second son had a look of shame on his face, lowered his head and did not dare to raise it. Obviously, what the citizen said was true.
Zhu Jiujie shook his head and sighed. He remembered the last time he gave him a free clinic and cured him, so he went to gamble. He was really an unrepentant gambler.
The second son heard someone sighing, turned around and saw Zhu Jiujie: "Miracle Doctor, Doctor Zhu, please save me quickly."
Erzi turned over, knelt on the ground, and actually kowtowed to Zhu Jiujie. When his body moved, it seemed that the injury on his arm was affected, and he looked in pain.
The surrounding medical staff saw Zhu Jiujie and greeted him one after another.
Zhu Jiujie said: "Second son, it seems you should see a surgeon for your injury. Find an orthopedic expert to give you a good look."
The second son had a bitter look on his face: "Doctor Zhu, you... please show mercy to the second son. The second son is penniless."
Zhu Jiujie pondered.
If he were on the street, he would treat his second son without hesitation, but this was a hospital. He remembered that the director once said a few words to him, which meant to warn him not to do any free clinics in the hospital.
Some people said: "If you don't have money, why do you want to see a doctor?"
Erzi glared at the man: "What's wrong with having no money? Should we wait to die if we don't have money?"
Zhu Jiujie's heart moved.
Yes, although patients in ancient times had to pay consultation fees to see doctors, today's hospitals seem to have higher thresholds. Therefore, there is a popular saying in society now: If you have it, you will not be sick, if you don't, you will have no money.
Zhu Jiujie said: "Second son, are your legs okay?"
Erzi said: "My legs are fine."
"Okay then, come to the construction site with me."
Zhu Jiujie decided to treat his son, but he did not want to expand his influence, so he asked his second son to go to the construction site with him.
Erzi stood up, lowered his arms, and followed Zhu Jiujie. Along the way, he didn't even dare to shake his right arm. He walked across from others and stayed far away, for fear of being bumped into by others.
Arriving at the duty room at the construction site, Zhu Jiujie sat down and asked him: "Second son, tell me about your arm. What's going on?"
Erzi hesitated and said: "I played mahjong with someone last night. It didn't matter at first, but then I saw that I lost a lot, and it was almost dawn, so... I hid a few cards, but they found out.
, just beat me like this."
"How did they fight? With sticks, fists, or..."
"It was twisted with hands. One of the men, a good guy like Black Li Kui, grabbed my right wrist with his left hand and my right arm with his right hand. With just a twist, my arm broke. Finally he
He broke my right wrist again."
Zhu Jiujie reached out and touched his arm and said, "Your arm is not broken, it is just dislocated."
"Really?" Erzi was delighted.
"However, your wrist is indeed broken. I don't think you will be able to play mahjong in the short term."
Erzi smiled bitterly: "These bastards, damn, they are so cruel."
Zhu Jiujie shook his head: "Playing with things makes you lose your mind. Although mahjong can be used for entertainment, it is not right if you are addicted to playing cards." As he said, Zhu Jiujie grabbed his arm, pushed it, and said: "Okay, arm.
It’s okay, as for your wrist, I’ll fix it for you.”
Zhu Jiujie fixed the wrist of the second son. The second son left with great gratitude. Before leaving, he also swore to Zhu Jiujie: "Doctor Zhu, don't worry. My second son has sworn never to gamble again. If you find me again,
If you gamble, you'll break my arms and wrists."
Just as the second son left, Zhu Jiujie's cell phone rang: "Dr. Zhu, it's very hard at the construction site. The project is being topped out and will be completed soon. You have medical skills, so you should go back to work in the gynecology department..."
