Chapter 661 If you have money, you will see a doctor, if you have no money, you will die
Chapter 661: If you have money, go to see a doctor; if you don’t have money, just wait for death
Soon after, Chen Qi gently put down the old woman's hand.
At this time, the old woman looked pale and had passed out.
"Aunt Mei, when did the old lady get this disease?"
Chen Qi turned around and asked.
"Six years have passed since the young lady committed suicide and the young master left."
Aunt Mei replied, "We have invited many doctors to treat the old woman over the years, but we have been unable to do anything.
It is said that the old woman has a heart disease that is difficult to cure."
Chen Qi nodded, "It's not wrong to say that she suffered from heart disease. The old lady already had some stubborn illnesses. Perhaps the blow six years ago made her condition worse. In addition, she has been depressed all year round, and she is already terminally ill."
Suzaku asked anxiously, "Dragon Lord, can you heal me well?"
Chen Qi glanced at the unconscious old lady, "It's a little tricky, but it's not impossible to cure. I need some medicinal materials. I wonder if I can find them in [Shangjing]."
Hearing about the medicinal materials, Aunt Mei suddenly said, "There is a [Tong Ren Tang] in [Shangjing]. I heard that it is a store opened by the miracle doctor Gui Gu. It has a complete range of medicinal materials. Maybe there is one there!"
"Ghost Valley?"
Chen Qi raised his eyebrows.
I still remember that when he was in Dongyuan City, Chen Qi met the disciples of Guigu and had a little incident with them.
After all, Gui Gu is Chen Qi's disciple. This guy actually has a store in Shangjing?
"With Guigu's medical skills, I should be able to cure the old lady's illness. Have you never sought medical treatment before?"
"Of course I went."
Aunt Mei replied, "But figures like the Guigu Miracle Doctor are always invisible. It is said that they only show up once a month to treat people. The number of places is limited and you need to make an appointment in advance."
"How can little people like us have the right to ask him to see a doctor?"
Chen Qi was stunned.
Aunt Mei was right. In Chen Qi's opinion, although Gui Gu only had some superficial knowledge of medical skills, to ordinary people, he was already considered a peerless miracle doctor.
These days, health is more important than anything else.
Some rich people spend huge sums of money on medical treatment, just to get the best medical resources.
However, people at the bottom of society have no way to seek medical treatment when they get a more serious disease. Sometimes, even if they lose their money, they still cannot be cured.
Chen Qi was helpless in this reality.
Chen Qi stood up slowly, "Suzaku, prepare your car and go to [Tongrentang]!"
[Tongrentang] is located in the central street of [Shangjing].
Although it is known as a medical center, its medical scale is comparable to some tertiary hospitals.
In [Shangjing], a city where land is more valuable than gold, being able to own a medical clinic covering hundreds of acres is enough to show its power and prestige.
The word "Ghost Valley" is a golden sign.
As [Tongrentang] opened under the name of "Guigu", it naturally attracts countless people seeking medical treatment, including people from out of town who have traveled thousands of miles.
Even if you can't see Guigu's miracle doctor himself, being able to see some of Guigu's disciples is a rare thing.
After all, the disciples taught by Guigu Miracle Doctor are much better than some other unskilled doctors.
The jeep carrying Chen Qi stopped on the roadside.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a huge crowd of people in front of the signboard labeled "Tongrentang".
"Business is pretty good?"
Chen Qipi said with a smile.
"I wonder if that guy from Guigu is here?"
Suzaku looked around and said, "If we are here, we can save some trouble."
"If he's not here, it's okay to ask him to come over. I think he would be very willing to see me, the Patriarch."
After saying that, Chen Qi stroked his sleeves slightly, walked directly through the flow of people, and walked in.
Unlike the outside, the inside of [Tongrentang] must be very orderly.
It can be seen that many uniformed security guards are here to maintain order.
Hospitals are one of the places where trouble is most likely to occur. With these safety guarantees, people seeking medical treatment can feel more secure.
Chen Qi and Zhuque went straight to the information desk.
The person in charge of the reception was a young man, who should be an apprentice at [Tongrentang].
"Excuse me, do you two need help?"
The apprentice spoke very politely, but the expression on his face was not satisfactory.
It is also understandable that he must have to receive a large number of visitors seeking medical treatment every day. Although he is a little impatient in his heart, his duties do not allow him to show it.
Chen Qi smiled warmly, "I want to meet the miracle doctor Guigu."
The man was stunned, "Did you see the miracle doctor from Guigu?"
Do you have an appointment?"
"No."
"I'm really sorry. Guigu Miracle Doctor is indeed visiting today, but he only accepts people who have made appointments."
"If I make an appointment, when will I be able to see the doctor?"
The man glanced at Chen Qi and said, "Let me check it for you."
Then, the man opened a heavy roster in front of him and didn't stop until he reached the last few pages.
"There are already 1,586 people who have made appointments before you. According to Guigu Miracle Doctor's visit once a month, he only sees thirty people at a time. Do the math yourself."
Chen Qi's eyebrows moved slightly. One thousand, five hundred and eighty-six people made appointments. He only visited the clinic once a month, and only saw thirty people at a time. In total, it took more than four years.
Who can wait for this?
"It's been too long. There is a critically ill patient at home. Can you please be accommodating?"
The man stamped the name list and said indifferently, "Everyone who comes to seek medical treatment says so, but this is a rule and there is nothing I can do about it."
"I heard that as long as certain conditions are met, you can jump in line?"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There is such a saying."
"What are the conditions?"
"Fifty million reservation fee."
"So expensive?"
"Compared to human life, fifty million is nothing, right?"
"Fifty million is indeed nothing, but what you are doing is leaving many patients who cannot afford treatment with no way to survive?"
"Then it doesn't matter what we do. If you have money, just see a doctor. If you don't have money, just wait for death. It's that simple."
Chen Qi looked unhappy, "Doctors are the parents of the world.
Seeking personal gain and being greedy for money is not the mentality a doctor should have."
"You [Tong Ren Tang], called Tong Ren, should treat everyone equally, but I only see that you turn away some people who are eager to survive and only treat some rich people."
"Don't you feel ashamed?"
The man's eyes gradually darkened, "Friend, I don't think you're here to see a doctor, but to find something to do."
Chen Qi chuckled and shook his head, his expression returning to normal.
"Let's do this. You go in and inform Gui Gu that the Patriarch is visiting and ask him to come out to receive you."
The man was stunned for a long time, and then laughed.
"Where does this clown come from and dare to claim that he is the founder of Guigu Miracle Doctor?
If you were the Patriarch of Guigu Miracle Doctor, I would still be the Patriarch’s father!”
