"If the surgery goes well, your father will be sent to the ICU first. Hepatectomy is a major surgery, especially since your father is rather old, and the hepatectomy area is rather large. So, he might need to stay in the ICU for a few more days, "Zuo Cidian said to the patient's family members after he left the Operating Area.
At this moment, the Wang family members were already sleepy, and they could not be excited.
The eldest son of the Wang family responded, but he said with uncertainty, "I heard that the ICU is quite expensive?"
"Part of the cost can be covered by medical insurance." Zuo Cidian paused for a moment and said, "The cost for the first day will be higher because there are expenses such as start-up fees, and the subsequent expenses will be lower. My suggestion is for him to stay for a few more days. On the one hand, it can improve his prognosis, and on the other hand, staying for an extra week will actually only cost thirty to fifty thousand RMB. "
"Thirty to fifty thousand … thirty to fifty thousand …" The eldest son of the Wang family frowned.
Now that his life was saved, it was naturally time to consider the problem of money.
At this moment, a middle-aged relative of the Wang family coughed a few times and stood up. "I don't mean to say, but thirty to fifty thousand RMB is not a small amount of money …"
This was probably the time when the Wang family thought that relatives should play a role.
As this person stood up, a few people beside him also took a step forward and were ready to speak.
"This money depends on how you use it." Zuo Cidian smiled gently and interrupted the family members' rhythm. He had seen too many patients and their family members like this, so he was not surprised or worried. He only gave them a gentle smile and said, "Let me put it this way. If you were to perform this surgery elsewhere, you wouldn't be able to get it done even if you had an extra 100,000 RMB. You can go to other places and ask about this. Doctor Ling often performs surgeries for foreign patients nowadays, and the fees are all calculated in USD. There are also surgeries performed abroad … "
"We're not foreigners. How can we earn so much money …" Someone seized the opportunity to make a fuss.
"Because of this, we also put in a lot of effort to perform the surgery this time. Doctor Ling is the chief surgeon himself, and he's using the latest technology. To be honest, you're lucky. If another doctor were here, your father might not even have the chance to enter the ICU. "Zuo Cidian's words were half-truths, but it was a technique he often used when he was in town.
The expressions and thoughts of the Wang family also changed as expected.
The item was very expensive, but if it was much cheaper, it was not unacceptable.
With this thought in mind, the impact of the high price of the ICU was not as strong. After all, before the surgery, the Wang family already knew the financial pressure they were going to face.
It was just that at that time, they still had the mentality of taking things one step at a time.
Now that the crisis of death had been overcome, the crisis of money …
"You can find someone else." Zuo Cidian's voice was heard again. "If your family's financial situation is really difficult, our hospital can also reduce some of the fees. I don't have the final say on how much I want to reduce. Doctor Ling has some authority, and our department director also has some authority. Let's see where you can find them. Of course, the dean's authority is even greater. "
What Zuo Cidian said still sounded like he was telling the truth.
Hospital fees did exist, but it was not possible to get a large amount of fees. Of course, finding acquaintances was also something that might or might not be useful.
Most ordinary patients would not care too much about a few tens of thousands of yuan if they could find a powerful person. For those who couldn't find it, they could only go through the procedures to get the exemption.
However, this was indeed a way.
Moreover, once an acquaintance introduced them, the patient's family would also be more reasonable. Zuo Cidian did not need to give any special explanation. He just provided a way for the patient's family to take. Regardless of whether the other party could take it or not, they would only thank him.
"We don't know anyone, can you …" When it came to finding someone, they naturally could not use brute force. The Wang family's attitude was subconsciously humble.
Zuo Cidian smiled. "I'm your doctor in charge. You can still see me when I make ward rounds. You can go and see the patient first …"
"Then I'll go and see my father first." Wang Zhong's eldest son had now come back to his senses, and his thoughts turned to the patient's body.
Patients' family members had always been like this. They would think about problems and solve problems in a neurotic manner. It could be said that the Wang family members were usually bad family members. They could be considered as economical family members. When their illness was minor and they were more well-off, they would become easy to talk to and even humble. But when their illness was serious, they might be filled with money and become heartless.
Most of the patients Zuo Cidian saw in the past were actually unreasonable. The patients and their family members who could be persuaded by serious reasoning and bluffing were considered easy to deal with.
Zuo Cidian did not think much of it. For him, for the hospital, and for the doctors, this was just a daily occurrence.
Zhang Anmin was busy running back and forth in the ICU.
He could not enter the ICU just because he was from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. The ICU was not big, but it was also an auxiliary department. It was impossible for the people from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery to occupy a spot and fool around with the patients.
However, the situation was slightly different with Ling Ran's words.
In fact, Ling Ran did not even need to say anything. He just gave an instruction, and the doctors and nurses in the ICU did not stop Zhang Anmin.
This kind of treatment made Zhang Anmin feel inexplicably comfortable.
Zhang Anmin followed the doctors in the ICU for a few rounds. When he saw that Wang Zhong's breathing was stable, and his heart rate and other indicators were basically normal, Zhang Anmin came out of the ICU.
"Young Zhang, did the surgery go well?" He Yuanzheng seemed to be here to see the patient in the ICU as well, and he looked as if he had met him by chance.
But Zhang Anmin knew that He Yuanzheng never came to the ICU.
As the department director of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, no matter how little power He Yuanzheng had and how few people he led, he was still a department director. His own department had a lot of work to do, and he usually had to go for freelance surgery. How could he come to the ICU?
Zhang Anmin calmed himself down and showed a smile. "Department Director He. A patient was sent over just now. I'll go and take a look. "
"What? You don't believe in the doctors in the ICU?" He Yuanzheng scowled.
He Yuanzheng was very dissatisfied with Ling Ran's hepatectomy. However, because Ling Ran was treating patients with hepatolithiasis, and most importantly, because Ling Ran's skills were amazing, and because Huo Congjun was fierce, He Yuanzheng did not fuss about it and continued to perform hepatectomy for liver cancer.
But this time, Zhang Anmin had started to carry out hepatectomy, and He Yuanzheng felt that he could not ignore it anymore.
He did not dare to scold Ling Ran, but he felt that it was necessary to teach Zhang Anmin a lesson.
Zhang Anmin also lowered his head obediently and waited to be scolded.
As a doctor, especially a surgeon, it was nothing to be scolded. Only children were afraid of being scolded. Surgeons would always wipe away their tears and continue working after they were scolded.
"A department should do its job well. Take the ICU as an example. Even a doctor who can carry out the tasks of the ICU can take good care of the patients? If it's really that easy, why do we need the ICU? Isn't it better to get a ward for you guys to carry out your duties? "He Yuanzheng stood in the corridor of the ICU and slowly got into the rhythm of scolding people.
Zhang Anmin did not even bother to raise his head. He could still endure this level of scolding.
He Yuanzheng snorted in disdain. He was familiar with Zhang Anmin's endurance, but he was not a beginner when it came to scolding people. He Yuanzheng said lightly, "Young Zhang, you've been working for me for a few years. My requirement is that you focus when you do things. Don't talk about carrying out hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries. Even if you're a cholecystectomy specialist, don't easily carry out hepatectomy, right?"
Zhang Anmin could not help but raise his head. He hesitated and did not know if he should refute.
"Doctor Ling said that Doctor Zhang can carry out hepatectomy." Lu Wenbin was also here to inspect his patients. As he spoke, he stood behind Zhang Anmin.
He Yuanzheng glanced at him, and he was a little unhappy. He was just a resident doctor.
Ma Yanlin followed behind him. He also quickened his pace and stood beside He Yuanzheng. "Doctor Ling said that we should do what we're good at."
He Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes.
Yu Yuan raised her head and said, "Doctor Ling said that …"
"Oh, you scared me." He Yuanzheng lowered his head and saw Yu Yuan. He touched his heart, waved his hand, and left.
