"Director Chi, please ask you, how much does the first phase of surgery, which is the three months you mentioned, cost approximately?"
Before coming, Xu Shiyan had discussed the surgery with Xu Shiqin. In fact, they were well aware of the risks and so on.
After all, it is the spine. If you accidentally damage the nerves, you may be paralyzed.
Xu Shiqin was determined, that is, she wanted to do this operation no matter how painful or dangerous it was.
Having endured so many strange looks in the past twenty years made her feel very inferior.
Now Xu Shiqin is about to get engaged and married to Han Liwei. She hopes that she can be in the most perfect state to marry the person she likes.
Therefore, what the brothers and sisters care about most is money.
The two of them had six to seven thousand yuan with them, and they didn't know if the first phase of surgery would be possible.
If it's not enough, Xu Shiyan will have to think of another way.
"Actually, the main reason is that the materials are expensive. This set of imported alloy materials costs about 2,000 yuan, and the surgery costs a few hundred yuan.
In addition, including various medicine expenses, hospitalization expenses, etc., it is conservatively estimated to be more than 3,000."
Chi Hao made a rough estimate and gave Xu Shiyan a number.
The monthly hospitalization fee this year is one yuan and two per bed per day, which is more than one hundred yuan for three months.
The fees for most surgeries are not high. Category A surgery costs 45 to 60 yuan, Category B surgery costs 30 to 45 yuan, Category C surgery costs 15 to 30 yuan, and outpatient minor surgery costs 5 to 15 yuan.
dollars.
Spinal correction is a new item and is not included in these four categories, so the surgery fee will be higher.
But in general, the bulk is the material.
There is no way, domestic production of medical equipment and materials is not possible.
The materials required for this new type of medical project cannot be produced domestically and can only be imported.
All combined, the minimum guarantee is 3,000 yuan.
And this does not include three months' food expenses, nutrition expenses, and the food and accommodation provided by Xu Shiyan's company here.
If all counted together, it might be more than 4,000.
Four thousand, what is the concept?
For example, Xu Shiqin is now a second-level worker, and her monthly salary is less than thirty yuan. In addition, she also has a forestry subsidy in her early twenties, which is about fifty yuan a month.
Four thousand yuan is equivalent to her salary for eighty months, which is nearly seven years.
Xu Shiqin had to go without food or drink for seven years and save all his salary before he could have the surgery, and that wasn't all.
Just thinking about it is enough to put many people off.
That's why Director Chi made all this clear to the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters in advance, so that they knew that this surgery was really not something ordinary people could do.
Xu Shiqin's injury was not considered a work-related injury, and there was no way to reimburse him for it. He had to pay for it all out of his own pocket, which ordinary families simply couldn't afford.
After hearing this, Xu Shiyan's brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was within the range they could bear.
"Director Chi, let's do this surgery." The brother and sister said in unison.
Chi Hao looked at the brother and sister in surprise. Although they were dressed neatly and neatly, they were just ordinary people.
I heard Mr. Chu say it before, saying that it was an ordinary peasant family in Fusong, how could they afford so much money?
When will farmers earn so much money?
"Okay, since you agree to the operation, I will ask someone to make arrangements for hospitalization.
You will go through the hospitalization procedures tomorrow morning, and we will have to hold a meeting to study the specific surgical plan carefully."
With Director Chi's position, his self-cultivation is naturally extraordinary. Even if he has doubts in his heart, he will never question him face to face.
Director Chi is very busy here, so the Xu family brothers and sisters cannot continue to disturb him.
So the two of them said goodbye and left, returning to Chu's home according to the way they came.
The nanny opened the door and saw brother and sister Xu Shiyan, and she greeted them warmly.
The brother and sister entered the living room again and saw Mr. Chu with a serious face.
"Shi Yan, why didn't you tell me that what you gave me was an old wild ginseng tree?"
It turned out that after the nanny sent Xu Shiyan and the two to the hospital, she returned to Chu's house and bought a chicken according to Mr. Chu's wishes.
Mr. Chu said that he wanted to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch, but last year's was long gone, so the nanny went to dig through what Xu Shiyan had just delivered.
As a result, when I opened the package, I found a wooden box with a ginseng inside.
After all, the nanny was also a family member of a doctor, so she had some knowledge, but she felt something was wrong at first sight.
This seems to be no ordinary ginseng. Show it to Mr. Chu quickly.
Chu's family has a long history of studying, and although he has been engaged in Western medicine over the years, the foundation he laid down from childhood is still there, and he can recognize it at a glance that this is a very old wild ginseng tree.
At this time, just this ginseng tree would cost about 1,500 yuan.
One thousand and fifty, how much is that?
I usually give some fungus mushrooms, walnuts and pine nuts as gifts, which is considered a normal favor.
Is it okay to give away ginseng worth more than a thousand yuan at once? Of course Mr. Chu can't take it.
"You have to spend a lot of money to treat Xiaoliu, why would you give me such a valuable thing?
No, you take it back quickly and I will find a place for you to sell it, just in time to keep it for Xiao Liu’s medical treatment.”
Mr. Chu pushed the wooden box on the table towards Xu Shiyan and motioned for Xu Shiyan to take it away.
"Master, this thing may be worth a little bit to you, but to me, no matter how much money you have, it's not as good as our master-disciple relationship.
At first you didn't think I was stupid and accepted me as your apprentice, but it's a pity that I didn't insist on learning from you. I have always regretted it all these years.
I haven't been able to stay by your side to take care of you all these years. I'm not qualified as an apprentice.
This ginseng is my little bit of filial piety."
How can something given away be taken back? A wild ginseng tree may be very valuable to others, but it is nothing to him.
Now Xu Shiyan has several trees in his hands.
Under the cliff of the big house, he took the opportunity to visit last year. There were more than a dozen ginseng trees in good condition, but no one found them.
If it is used in the future, he can just dig it up again. Is Mr. Chu still missing?
"Don't worry, I have prepared the money for my little sister's treatment.
As you know, I have been doing a lot of hard work in the past few years and I have a little money." Xu Shiyan smiled and pushed the wooden box over again.
"Master, do you think I can learn anything more at my age?
I have a breeding farm now. I heard that after the new year, the fields may be divided into different fields for ginseng. From now on, I will be contracted to work alone. I also want to learn the deep and fine processing of ginseng.
There is no recommendation system in universities now, so what else can I do? I want to go to school."
Xu Shiyan was well aware of Mr. Chu's temper and quickly changed the subject.
Sure enough, when Mr. Chu heard that Xu Shiyan wanted to go to school, he immediately became energetic, but after thinking about it carefully, he frowned again.
"Oh, you really didn't catch up with the good times.
If you had studied with me for a few more years, you would have been able to take the barefoot doctor exam, and the certificate would have been useful.
Now we are no longer allowed to recommend workers, peasants and soldiers to go to college. They all have to take the college entrance examination. You don’t meet the conditions, so how do you take the exam?"
Mr. Chu shook his head as he spoke.
“I heard a while ago that the Agricultural Committee commissioned the Agricultural University to recruit a group of correspondence colleges, with majors in animal husbandry, agricultural product processing, etc.
But the requirement is that you must be an agricultural cadre or reserve cadre at the deputy county level, and you don’t meet these conditions."
Nowadays, if ordinary people want to go to college, the only way is to take the college entrance examination.
All other correspondence courses and night courses have thresholds and are not open to ordinary people.
It will be updated on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow. Thank you for your support. More genuine good books can be found on the Qidian Chinese website.
