I don't know how long it took, but when Tang Qian opened his eyes again, he was already lying on a hospital bed in Los Angeles Hospital.
Me, why am I here?
Tang Qian slowly tried to sit up, but as soon as he moved his shoulder, a stinging pain rushed into his brain.
Click~
Just when Tang Qian grimaced in pain, the door to the ward was opened. Tang Qian twisted his neck and saw a young nurse with blond hair. When the young nurse saw that Tang Qian had woken up, he quickly showed a surprised expression and said: "
You, why did you wake up?"
After hearing this, Tang Qian laughed bitterly and said, "Madam, what do you mean? Do you still want me to be unconscious?"
"Oh, s, sorry~ I didn't mean that, it's just that the doctor said it will take two to three days for you to wake up, so..." the young blond nurse replied with some embarrassment.
"Haha, it seems that my recovery ability is quite strong. Even American doctors got it wrong." Tang Qian joked to himself.
Who knew that the blond nurse nodded seriously, and then said: "That's true, Mr. Fang, your recovery ability far exceeds our expectations. Please wait a moment, I have contacted you.
The attending doctor will be there in five minutes."
Tang Qian looked at the blond nurse and sighed in his heart, the hospital facilities in the United States are so good, even the little nurse has a radio in her hand, which makes people feel that the service is first-class, eh? Wait a minute!
Tang Qian seemed to have thought of something and asked the blond nurse in the room: "Excuse me, what kind of hospital is this? Why am I alone in a room?"
Even if capitalism is as developed as the United States, it still doesn’t have such favorable hospital conditions, right? I remember that what I saw in movies and American TV series was not like this! Separate wards, tall furnishings, I, my God, this is
…
"Oh, Mr. Perm, we are at the UCLA Medical Center." The blonde female nurse replied with a smile.
"UCLA Medical Center? What, what is this place?" With Tang Qian's poor American common sense, it was perfectly normal for him to not understand the meaning behind this string of words.
"Mr. Tang just came to the United States not long ago, right?"
"Well, that's right."
"That's not surprising." The blond nurse smiled and said: "Our UCLA Medical Center was built in 1955 and was renamed Ronald Reagan Medical Center in 2008. However, because everyone calls it Shunzi, so
Most of the time we will still use the old name. You know, Mr. Tang, our hospital has been rated as one of the five best hospitals in the United States for 25 consecutive years! According to a survey by "U.S. News and World Report", here, it is known as
It is 'the most technologically advanced hospital in the world'."
I, I will go, no way, this hospital has such a big background???
While Tang Qian admired the professionalism of this blond nurse, he said with cold sweat on his forehead: "This, this, madam, I would like to ask how much does this place cost?"
"Mr. Perm, the cost of any of the five best hospitals in the United States is not cheap." The blond nurse explained carefully: "At our UCLA Medical Center, the average cost per day is about 1,000 US dollars. Like Mr. Perm, where you live
For a special ward like this, the price needs to be increased a bit, which is about 10,000 US dollars per day. In fact, compared to other hospitals, our hospital charges are already very cheap, so Mr. Tang, you can definitely rest assured."
W, what??? About $10,000? Are you kidding me?
My one-year salary at NBDL is only enough to live in for one day?
Is it still very cheap like this? Are you a black shop?
No wonder Tang Qian was making such a fuss. He was an ordinary person no matter in this life or in the previous life. He never dreamed of staying in a ward that costs US$10,000 a day.
"How many days have I lived here?" Tang Qian suddenly asked through gritted teeth.
"Oh, it's less than 12 hours. The timekeeping in the special ward is absolutely accurate." The blond nurse said.
"Okay, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital now," Tang Qian said.
"Wha, what? Mr. Perm, you have just woken up, and there are still many areas that have not recovered. How can you be discharged from the hospital casually now?" the blonde female nurse said in surprise.
NND, if you don’t leave, I will go bankrupt!
"what happened?"
Just when Tang Qian was making noises about being discharged from the hospital, the door of the ward was opened. When he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
When the blond nurse saw the person coming, she immediately said as if she had found a savior: "Dr. Peter Church, Mr. Perm insisted on shouting for discharge. Look..."
"Discharged? Why?" The middle-aged man looked at Tang Qian with a puzzled expression and said, "Hello, Mr. Tang, I am your attending doctor, Peter Louis Church. If you have any questions, you can report them directly to me."
"Don't ask so many questions, just let me be discharged from the hospital." Tang Qian answered very decisively.
"That's not okay, Mr. Tang. As a medical worker, I have the responsibility and obligation to restore you to health. And your application to leave the hospital now is completely irresponsible, so I will not agree to it.
." Peter Louis Church was also very principled.
"You really don't want me to be discharged from the hospital?" Tang Qian said.
"No, absolutely not!" Peter Church replied firmly.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want. Anyway, I only have less than a thousand dollars on me. If you want to let me live, it doesn't matter to me." Tang Qian saw that the other party was not giving in at all, so he simply showed his cards.
"One thousand dollars? What does this have to do with one thousand dollars?" Peter Church asked again with a puzzled expression.
"Let me ask you, how much do I spend per day?" Tang Qian asked.
Peter Church was stunned for a moment, but he answered honestly: "All the examination fees and medical expenses are about 13,000 US dollars. Including the special ward you live in, an additional 10,000 US dollars will be needed. If it adds up,
, the cost for one day is about US$23,000.”
23,000 US dollars? I’m stunned, it’s more than I thought. I really can’t stay in this kind of ghost place for too long!
After hearing what Louis Church said, Tang Qian became more serious and said: "I can tell you, I am a poor man. If you don't let me leave the hospital, I can't afford such high medical expenses." Tang Qian said.
The meaning behind the words was obvious, he wanted to make this Peter Louis Qieqi retreat from the difficulties and stop expecting to gain anything from himself.
"Pay? Mr. Tang, I don't understand why you said that?" Peter Louis Church said: "Your hospitalization expenses have been paid in advance for 200,000 US dollars, why do you still have to pay?"
"Is your hospital a charity if you don't pay? It's really... eh??? What did you say??? My hospitalization expenses have been paid in advance for 200,000 US dollars??? You, you are not mistaken, are you?
??”
"How could there be a mistake? Mr. Fang, we provide meticulous service to every patient in the special ward, so there is absolutely no chance of any mistakes. I guarantee this with the credibility of the UCLA Medical Center. Please feel free to worry.
." Peter Church looked at Tang Qian nervously and said, after all, if there are complaints from the special ward, Peter Church's status as the attending doctor will be extremely impacted. Two hundred thousand dollars, even if it is
For the UCLA Medical Center, it is also a large number. Because one patient, Tang Qian, can take at least ten ordinary patients. As a hospital run by capitalism, it has slipped away "big customers", so
It was a "big sin". Therefore, as soon as he heard Tang Qian shouting that he was going to be discharged from the hospital, Peter Church's heart beat hard, for fear that Tang Qian would really go through the procedures and leave, and the ten people spit out by the hospital would
For tens of thousands of dollars, he will bear most of the responsibility.
"Who, who helped me hand it over... was it her???" Tang Qian's mind finally became more active, and the scenes from last night suddenly emerged.
"Of course it's Miss Swift. Could it be that you injured your brain last night and suffered from temporary amnesia?" Peter Louis Church said, pushing up his glasses.
"No, I don't have amnesia." Tang Qian quickly shook his head and denied.
"That's good, otherwise this disease would be very difficult to deal with."
"Where did she...Taylor go?" Tang Qian finally discovered the problem and asked quickly.
"Miss Swift has a performance tonight, so she went to the airport just an hour ago." The blonde nurse replied: "Mr. Perm, I think you are very lucky, Miss Swift last night
I’ve been watching you all night, and it’s obvious that you are really a very important person to her.”
"Yes, really? She is a top star, and she actually stayed here with me all night? Am I so important to her..." Tang Qian murmured to himself.
……………………
After Louis Church performed a series of examinations on Tang Qian, he said: "Mr. Tang, your recovery ability is indeed very good, but there are still serious tissue injuries in your ribs and chest, including your head.
, there are also some minor concussions. I heard from Miss Swift that you are a professional basketball player, so my suggestion is that you should not do strenuous exercise in the past month, and you must rest in the hospital every day, otherwise
, is likely to leave irreparable permanent damage.”
"One month? No, it can't be? Is it that serious? Are you lying to me?" When Tang Qian heard this, he was immediately frightened.
"Mr. Perm, please believe in my professionalism. Putting aside everything else, the fourth and sixth ribs on your left side were slightly fractured. This is no joke. If the damage continues to occur, it is very likely that
It will touch the internal organs, so your life may be threatened. Please follow my instructions seriously."
"Yes, is it that serious?" Tang Qian was also surprised and said.
"Of course, I am a responsible doctor, so I have no reason to joke with you." Peter Church replied with a serious face.
"But……"
"There is nothing good about it, Mr. Tang. I have also met many basketball players. I can only tell you, don't be impatient and be patient."
"Okay, okay." Tang Qian paused and said feebly.
On Christmas Eve, Tang Qian thought a lot in bed, but he didn't regret taking action at all.
Whether it's for the mission or to protect Taylor, if he is given another chance to choose, he will still do it.
It's just that this recovery time really exceeded his bottom line.
No basketball for a month.
No exercise for a month.
How can this be progress?
How to maintain this status?
Tang Qian had no choice but to change into a "different space". Unfortunately, as soon as he entered, he was dealt a heavy blow.
card.
I don’t know when my mistake card came out.
Disappeared.
PS: Regarding the issue of hospitalization fees in the United States, there are sky-high-priced hospitals everywhere. It is not uncommon for ordinary people to spend 10,000 US dollars for medical treatment, let alone Tang Qian’s special ward. Finally, please collect it and it will be released tomorrow~~~
