“We… We have paid all the money we brought.”The daughter of the patient’s old driver came back with the bill, her face full of worry.
Zuo Cidian took the bill over and glanced at it. He saw the number “23,580”on the storage value column.
With the current depreciation of the banknotes, it could be said that there were zeros and zeros.
And based on the standards of the hospital, saving more than 20,000 yuan before the surgery could only be considered as the standard for an appendectomy.
“That’s all for now. You can pay it later when you have more money.”Zuo Cidian knew that even if half of the money was borrowed from the patient’s family. After all, it was only a few days before the additional payment was due, and the patient and his daughter’s family clearly could not earn tens of thousands of yuan in such a short time to pay the fees.
The patient’s daughter asked worriedly, “The surgery can still be done, right?”
“You guys are in a special situation, so you will do the surgery first.”Zuo Cidian did not offer much comfort.
There was one thing that was very different between heart surgery and other types of surgeries. The effects of heart surgery were decisive. If other types of surgeries could be covered up by vague descriptions and modified cases after they were done, the failure of heart surgery usually came at the cost of human lives.
Therefore, no matter how good Zuo Cidian’s words were, once the surgery failed, the family members of the patients present would probably change their expressions.
Even the daughter of the patient opposite him would not thank Zuo Cidian at all. His father was already dead, and he still wanted people to thank him. Even Fascists would cry when they heard about it.
Correspondingly, if the surgery went well, Zuo Cidian did not need to say so many comforting words.
If the surgery was successful, everyone would be happy. Zuo Cidian was very familiar with this kind of atmosphere and was very happy.
As for the money, he had already considered it before and made a decision, so he would not think about it anymore.
Wu Lei, who was standing quietly behind him, looked at the list in surprise and asked, “If there isn’t enough money in the deposit account now, can we still do the surgery?”
Zuo cidian said, “I can… Do It.”
“What if the patient doesn’t come to pay the bill in the future?”
“Rush the payment?”
“What if you can’t rush the payment?”
Zuo Cidian shrugged. “The department and the Doctor can make up for it.”
“You’re the Doctor in charge of this patient’s bed?”Wu Lei was a little suspicious, but she could not help but question him.
Zuo cidian nodded slowly.
“You’re Not Right.”Wu Lei frowned and looked at Zuo Cidian carefully. When she saw the patient’s daughter, she finally showed a look of realization. Then, she looked at Zuo Cidian with even more disdain, “You’re really not picky. He has a husband. The child is already in middle school, right?”
Zuo Cidian looked back at Wu Lei and finally showed a look of disdain. “Don’t you have anything to do?”
“Don’t change the topic…”Wu Lei had fought with many boyfriends before. Once the investigation was launched, it was difficult for her to lose her momentum.
In a trance, Zuo Cidian felt as if he had returned to the town hospital. He was wearing a white coat and holding a lidocaine. His ex-wife was scolding him in front of his colleagues.
As if he was reacting to a stress, zuo cidian waved his hand and walked out.
Wu Lei was stunned. She thought to herself, “I didn’t expect Doctor Zuo to be an evasive type. This kind of boyfriend is a little less interesting, but it’s not bad. Relatively speaking, it should be more time-saving. One interesting type for two evasive types…” It should not be a loss.
The patient’s family members in the waiting room clearly did not care about the interaction between Zuo Cidian and Wu Lei.
A bald old man in his forties or fifties and an ordinary young nurse. Everyone did not even bother to look at them.
Wu Lei was also not in the mood to communicate with the patient’s family members. Looking at Doctor Zuo who had escaped, she casually sent a message to a wechat message with the name “Day shift in the hospital (idle)”and waited for the other party to ask about her well-being.
Two hours later.
Zuo Cidian, who had regained his mood, returned to the waiting room wearing a Rolex Kong Ba that he had bought himself.
The Kong Ba had bought 40,000 yuan, which was enough to fill the gap after the old driver’s medical insurance was reimbursed — if the other party did not pay the subsequent medical fees.
As Zuo Cidian walked, he touched his left wrist and saw Wu Lei still hiding in the corner, chatting on her phone.
“Young people these days,”zuo cidian sighed to himself.
The young people when he first started working were so hard-working. Even in the town hospital, the young people would come to work early, sweep the floor, fetch hot water and newspapers, and take the initiative to tidy up the office properly, then, they sat in their respective seats, silently writing letters, copying lyrics, and knitting sweaters until it was time to get off work..
“Doctor Zuo, how is my father?”The patient’s daughter seemed to be crying a lot. When she saw Zuo Cidian, she quickly ran over.
“Everything is going smoothly for now.”Zuo Cidian had actually seen Yun Li’s live broadcast in the office. He knew that the surgery was almost done, and it was going extremely smoothly, but he did not dare to explain it to the patient’s family on Ling ran’s behalf, he just smiled and comforted the patient.
The patient’s daughter had a bunch of words stuck in her heart, at this moment, she could not help but say, “My family doesn’t know any doctors, but when my father was still able to run a large car, he saved people a few times. One time, he even dragged someone out of a burning car. That person even gave him a banner later on… Later on, my father also saved people from disasters. He gave them a tent and instant noodles, and he only received gas money…”
Zuo cidian listened to the patient’s story and did not ask any questions, so he just listened quietly.
When the patient’s daughter stopped talking, zuo cidian said, “Everything will go smoothly.”
“My father used to say the same thing every time he went out.”The patient’s daughter’s tears immediately flowed out.
Zuo Cidian instantly felt a little guilty. In an instant, the image of Ling ran appeared in his mind.
Zuo Cidian inexplicably puffed out his chest.
“Surgery…”Zuo Cidian was about to speak when the double doors in front of him opened.
Ling ran’s real person appeared in front of the double doors.
“Doctor Ling, you’re out.”Zuo Cidian looked at Ling ran’s expression, and his tone immediately became positive.
“Doctor Ling.”
The patient’s daughter and the other family members all rushed forward. Everyone’s faces showed genuine concern.
“The surgery went smoothly.”Ling ran did not wait to ask. He gave a simple answer first.
This was also the easiest answer for surgeons. It saved them a lot of time and effort.
Zuo Cidian felt a little envious for some reason. If he was the one who performed the surgery, the conclusion after the surgery would usually not be as simple as this.
“It’s good that it went smoothly.”
“Aiya, the surgery was successful.”
“That’s great, that’s Great.”
The patient’s family members sighed with emotion around them.
The patient’s daughter waited for them to continue before she asked, “Did you perform the heart valve surgery as well?”
“The heart valve plasty was completed successfully.”Ling ran nodded. Similarly, he did not need to make any further modifications.
“Then, then, then…”the patient’s daughter had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she did not know where to start.
“Don’t worry. I will tell you in detail after the patient leaves the operating theater.”Zuo Cidian took the initiative to stand up and waved Dai Kongba’s arm. He looked very powerful.
