"Vivian, don't worry, tell me what's the situation? What happened to Urey? "Max grabbed his wife Vivian with a flustered look. He was already 42 years old this year, and he only had one son. It could be said that Urey was his biggest hope.
Anything about Urey was very important to Max. Vivian held back her tears and said sadly, "When I was at work today, the school suddenly called and said that Urey suddenly fainted at work. When I went there, the hospital told me that he had tuberculosis and there was a black spot as big as a palm on his lung. It needs to be removed by surgery. "
"Surgery … surgery! We must do the surgery, we must save Urey. "Max muttered to himself and turned his head to ask nervously. "Vivian, did the doctor say what's the success rate of the surgery? Will Urey die because of this disease? "
Vivian bit her lips and said, "The doctor said that there's still a 50% chance. But if it drags on, it's hard to say. Maybe there's only a 30% chance. Max, we must save Urey, we must save him! "
Max's eyes were blurred, he nodded vigorously and said, "Yes. We must definitely save him. Vivian, don't worry, take me to see Urey now. Let me see him. " Max's mind was blank, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Vivian stood up and pulled him to the hospital.
Khartoum Hospital. It was already late at night. It was quiet all around, only nurses occasionally appeared in the corridor. Max and his wife's hurried footsteps were like a gust of wind blowing open the door, they rushed to the ICU. When they pushed open the door of the ward, there were patients lying quietly all around.
Max recognized Urey at a glance. He was lying on the bed, breathing weakly. There were several tubes inserted into his body, and his face looked very painful. Max quickly walked to Urey, reaching out to grab Urey's palm, and said in a hoarse voice, "Urey, Urey, I'm Dad, I'm Dad …"
Urey opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at Max. His lips opened and closed, as if he wanted to call him Dad but couldn't. Malcolm and his wife looked at their son lying on the ground. Their hearts ached, but there was nothing they could do. Under Max's comfort, Urey slowly fell asleep again …
In the hospital's office, a middle-aged doctor dressed in white was sitting face to face with Malcolm. Max looked nervous and asked worriedly, "Doctor, can my son Urey be cured? How long will it take? What's the success rate of this operation? "
Max was so nervous that his questions were like a machine gun, but the doctor stretched out his hand to stop him. "Calm down first. I'll take a look at the patient's case and tell you the situation. "After saying that, the doctor began to flip through the medical records on the computer and soon saw Urey's medical record.
The doctor frowned. After a while, he suddenly said, "Mr. Max. Your son Urey's condition is very bad now. The black spots on his lungs had already occupied a third of his body. If we don't perform the surgery in time, it will become more and more serious in the future. "
Malcolm said without hesitation, "Surgery. Arrange the surgery immediately. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we can't give up. " After Max said that, Vivian, who was at the side, couldn't help crying. He had to hug Vivian to appease her worried mood.
The doctor nodded and said, "Okay. Then I'll arrange the surgery for you. Mr. Max, I'll tell you in advance. This operation is very difficult and requires a senior doctor to do it. Now in our hospital, the fee for this kind of surgery is about 200,000 CFA pounds, and it's not credit. For the recovery treatment, it will cost 150,000 to 300,000 CFA pounds. Are you sure? "
The doctor's words made Max stunned. He said with some surprise, "So expensive? Can I use medical insurance? I have a national medical insurance that can reimburse this cost. Can you arrange the doctor for me first? My son will continue to be treated now. "
The doctor turned on the computer and began to write down the file. "It can be reimbursed. As long as you register the medical insurance, I'll arrange the surgery for my son now. Is that okay? "Max immediately said," Yes, yes. But I don't have the insurance with me now. I'll bring it tomorrow. "
Mr. and Mrs. Max stayed in the office for a while longer before returning home. Vivian was so upset that she couldn't sleep the whole night. Max sat on the rocking chair in front of the door and smoked vigorously without saying a word. Even with the insurance, it would still be very difficult for Max to pay the cost.
The cost was about 400,000 CFA pounds. Max's savings were less than 100,000 CFA pounds. Now that he suddenly had to take out so much money, where exactly was he going to go? Max couldn't think of a way. At this moment, his gaze fell on a silver box in his backpack.
In the box, millions of sapphires were lying quietly. But Max only had a fleeting thought before dispelling it. The next day, Max went to the Land Bureau and found his leader, a fat man who looked like he was in the Mediterranean — Colonna.
"Mr. Colonna, I would like to apply for use of my medical insurance. Because my son is sick now, very seriously. If I don't have this medical insurance, I won't be able to recover. If I don't have this medical insurance, my son might die from this illness. I beg you to help me arrange for this medical insurance to be used by my son. "
Max's medical insurance could be used by others. The premise was that he had died from a work injury or was terminally ill. And under special circumstances, he could apply for use from the insurance company. Of course, the premise was that the leader of the Land Bureau had to help him apply for use.
Hearing that, Kroner coldly glanced at Max and said, "Max, I'm not sure. Do you know the situation you are talking about? You know what our insurance says, right? How can I casually apply for it from the insurance company? If you set a precedent and others come to me for use, what should I do? "
Max's face turned red and he said emotionally, "But Mr. Colonna, if you don't help me. My son won't have enough money for the operation. Don't we have this clause in our insurance? Why can't you help me apply for it? I beg you, please help me … "
Colonna coldly turned his head and said, "I'm sorry. Mr. Max, this request of yours is unreasonable. I can't help you. Although there is this clause in the insurance, it's not like this. Unless you die from a work injury or a terminal illness, then your son can get this insurance. "
Max's eyes turned red and he slammed the table, saying, "Mr. Colonna, are you going to watch my son die without doing anything? Are you not willing to help me? How can you be so cruel? "Max's action really scared Colonna.
But Colonna became even angrier, saying, "Mr. Max, please pay attention to your image. I can apply to detain you based on your current behavior. You are threatening a public servant of the state! Do you understand, Mr. Max? I can't do anything about your matter. Please leave! "
Max's expression slowly turned from rage to calmness and indifference. He slowly straightened his body and tidied up his clothes, saying, "Bullsh * t public servant of the state. It's completely useless. I can't even save my own son … "
After saying that, he walked out of the office with a dazed expression. Without the payment from the medical insurance, Max's son, Urey, would definitely die. Max took a day off and went to the hospital. He looked at Urey through the glass window. Looking at Urey, he couldn't think of anything but sadness.
At this moment, the doctor called out from behind, "Mr. Max?" Max quickly wiped away his tears and turned to look at the doctor. "Hello, doctor, what's the matter? Is there any new progress in Urey's condition? Or something else … "
The doctor frowned, saying, "Didn't you say you have medical insurance last night? Why haven't you paid it yet? You have to understand that Urey's condition can't be delayed any longer. He's now under the control of medicine. But the condition is so serious that there's no other way but surgery. "
Max gritted his teeth, saying, "Doctor, can you help me fight for it? First do the surgery, then pay. I don't have enough money for the surgery now. If I can do the surgery first, I'll think of a way to pay you the money I owe from the medical insurance. "
Hearing that, the doctor's face turned cold, saying, "No money? Why do the surgery if you don't have money? If I told you that I could owe you money, wouldn't I have already done the surgery? You'd better leave with him. If he doesn't have the surgery, he has no chance of survival. It's just a waste of money here. "
After the doctor finished speaking indifferently, Max quickly grabbed his hand, saying, "Doctor, you can't give up on Urey. If even the hospital gives up on Urey, then there's really no chance. I beg you, you can't give up on Urey. I'll definitely think of a way to pay for the money … "
At this time, the doctor sneered, "Think of a way? Think of what way? Without medical insurance, how can you treat this illness? Besides, the hospital isn't a charity. Everyone comes here to sign an IOU. Don't we have to eat? You'd better leave with him quickly … "
After saying that, the doctor swung his hand and was about to leave. Max grabbed the doctor's hand nervously, saying, "Doctor, don't …" But the doctor didn't want to pay attention to Max at all, and turned to leave. Just when Max was about to give up, a man blocked the doctor's way.
"Doctor, how much is the cost of Mr. Max's son's surgery?" Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice stopped the doctor. Max found the voice familiar. When he looked up and saw the person, he muttered, "You … Why are you here?"
