"Old Zuo, you have to think this through. This patient is in his sixties and has long retired. If he doesn't come back to pay after he's discharged, you'll have to bear all the debts." When Doctor Zhou heard that the patient in Bed 102 had a new doctor in charge and was allowed to owe money, he immediately knew what was going on.
Zuo Cidian was a little hesitant after the meeting. He chuckled and did not directly answer Doctor Zhou's question.
Sympathy was something that the younger one was, the more they would have, and Zuo Cidian was already old enough to consider the pros and cons.
But from another perspective, Zuo Cidian, who was considered to have switched to Yun Hua Hospital halfway through, had seen fewer pitiful people compared to Doctor Zhou and the others. The sympathy he retained was also fully displayed this time.
"I've talked to this patient and his daughter. They're considered normal people. They can't come up with more money for the time being. When they're better off, they'll just make up for it. To be honest, if I were in this situation, it would be the same. My son can't help. "Zuo Cidian smiled bitterly.
Doctor Zhou sneered. "Nowadays, no matter how much money they earn, they don't even think that they're better off. It's especially difficult for them to return money to the hospital. "
"It's not that bad." Zuo Cidian coughed.
"That's fine. By the looks of it, Old Zuo, you're in a better situation now. "When Doctor Zhou said this, he did not want to waste his breath. After all, Zuo Cidian and the others had earned a lot of money by following Ling Ran for freelance surgery. They did not care about tens of thousands of RMB, but they could really afford it.
However, even if he said that, Doctor Zhou was not optimistic that the patient's family would return the money. It was mainly because they had seen too many similar situations, so they could not be confident.
Zuo Cidian also knew this very well. Patients who needed to owe money for surgery were mostly people from poor families, and they often earned money through labor. Patients who had major surgeries often could not recover their labor force, and they also needed to be taken care of by their family members who had labor force. In addition to the post-surgery checkups, all kinds of drugs, and living expenses, there were many families who were as poor as a church mouse.
For such families, repudiating the hospital's debt was not an inevitable choice, but it required great courage and a sense of morality not to choose this option.
Zuo Cidian did not know whether the patient and his family members in Bed 102 were still around, but before he made a decision, he decided not to worry about whether the patient would come back or not.
As the doctor in charge, after the meeting was over, Zuo Cidian even deliberately went to inform the doctor in charge. He did not mention that the doctor in charge's bonus would be deducted if he owed the fees.
As a doctor, he would pay for a patient's medical expenses at least once in his life.
It was nothing more than who touched his heart the most among the endless stream of patients who came and went.
…
Early morning.
Zuo Cidian arrived at the ward early and brought Patient Number 102, Old Driver, to the Operating Area.
The nurse found Zuo Cidian's participation a little strange. When Zuo Cidian helped to push the patient to the corridor, she could not help but say, "Doctor Zuo, please continue with your work."
"I'm fine too." Zuo Cidian chuckled honestly.
But in Yun Hua Hospital, no one dared to believe in Old Zuo's honesty.
The young nurse subconsciously grabbed his collar and glanced at Zuo Cidian's face, which was so rough that it looked like it had been smashed by sandpaper. She said, "Doctor Zuo, I have a boyfriend."
Zuo Cidian was a little unfocused to begin with. He also subconsciously said in a flowery manner, "It's okay if you have a boyfriend …"
The young nurse's energy was instantly focused. She firmly grabbed her collar and said, "I already have two boyfriends!"
Zuo Cidian was stunned. "Two?"
The young nurse slowly nodded. "One is with me during the day shift, and the other is with me during the night shift."
Zuo Cidian was confused. "You can do that?"
Speaking of which, he also worked during the day shift and the night shift …
To defend against Zuo Cidian, the young nurse could not care too much. She nodded and said, "Please don't tell anyone."
"What will happen if I tell anyone?" Zuo Cidian could not suppress his curiosity, his desire to gossip, his anger, his cynicism, his unyielding man's heart, his wild otaku's heart, his ugly middle-aged man's heart, and his vulgar and yellowish heart.
The young nurse threw caution to the wind and said solemnly and seriously, "If you tell anyone, it will affect my boyfriend in the hospital. At that time, you will be the bad guy who will break up a pair of lovers."
Zuo Cidian stared at the young nurse in a daze. He could not think of anything. "Is this person accompanying you during the day shift or the night shift?"
"This is based on geography. Moreover, he is in the north hospital, and I am in the south hospital. We can be considered as a long-distance relationship. " When the young nurse said this, she exhaled and said, "Doctor Zuo, you can go back and do your own things."
"I … I want to send the patient in." Zuo Cidian stood firm.
He had received more emotional baptism today than he had in the past week, but the original emotion was still the greatest.
The young nurse did not expect Zuo Cidian to be so stubborn. She covered her chest to hide the smugness in her heart and said, "If you want to send the patient, just do it."
Then, the two of them pushed the patient into the ward.
The patient tilted his face a little and glanced at Zuo Cidian. He said, "If it weren't for the fact that I'm going to have surgery soon, I would be laughing now."
Zuo Cidian looked at the patient. As expected, she did not laugh.
"Your operating theater is operated by Doctor Ling. Normal patients should be laughing when they see him," the young nurse said from the other side. The young nurse said from the other side, "Doctor Ling charges tens of thousands of RMB for a surgery performed by a foreigner now. It's not a matter of money. I'm telling you, it's really hard to get a bed for Doctor Ling's surgeries now. If Doctor Ling performs your surgery, it's not an exaggeration to say that compared to the doctors below him, it's equivalent to having an extra life. "
The patient sighed as if he was slightly touched. Then, he adjusted his heavy body back to its original position.
The young nurse let Zuo Cidian do whatever he wanted. Her heart was as calm as iron. 'With Zuo Cidian's attitude, if he's just going to suck up to me, it's better to reject him directly. 'However, Old Zuo really has a say in the Emergency Medical Center. For this reason, maybe I should give him another chance?'
* Shick. *
While Zuo Cidian was thinking, another anesthetist and nurse entered the operating theater and started to prepare.
Zuo Cidian found an opening and whispered to the young nurse beside him, "Don't say that kind of thing in the future, okay?"
"What kind of thing?" The young nurse's voice was a little tired.
"Charging for a foreigner's surgery, and competing with other doctors to have an extra life," Zuo Cidian said, "After the patient hears what you said, he'll definitely think a lot. We hope that the patient's emotions will be calm during the surgery. Besides, if you say that, it'll easily lead to medical disputes. "
"It won't."
"It won't?"
"You're performing heart surgery. If the surgery goes smoothly, it'll be a happy ending for everyone. If the surgery doesn't go smoothly, the patient won't be able to get off the bed alive. Any disputes will also be related to us … "
Zuo Cidian did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said sternly, "This is not a problem for you to consider. Don't say things that you shouldn't say."
"Are you scolding me?" The young nurse was shocked. She widened her eyes and looked at Zuo Cidian.
