Chapter 914 - 455: Forced Red Envelope, Two Extremes of Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy

Chapter 914: Chapter 455: Forced Red Envelope, Two Extremes of Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy

Theoretically speaking, the hospital where the patient is admitted is responsible for them.

Even though the patient’s family has invited him for treatment, it’s necessary to avoid doing a well-intentioned bad deed. The person who knows the patient’s situation best is certainly the attending physician.

Because once the patient is admitted, the hospital generally has a first-diagnosis responsibility system.

"Director Zhao Hongle from the oncology department at Qiaobang told me that they consulted with a doctor from the orthopedic department. My wife’s current condition is not suitable for surgery. The post-operative bleeding and infection cannot be controlled, and on top of that, my wife’s lung function is already very poor. If she enters the operating room, she may not be able to come off the surgical table."

With patients already suffering from serious diseases like these, doctors are bound to be extremely cautious when performing surgery.

There are some patients for whom surgery is simply impossible.

For instance, leukemia patients, since bleeding is extremely difficult to stop, making the surgery very challenging and risky.

"After their consultation, they advised me to have my wife undergo conservative treatment. Over the course of two to three months, the fracture will naturally heal. But it is likely to heal incorrectly, affecting future lower limb mobility and potentially causing disability. Later, a kind fellow patient told me that as long as I came to see you, you could treat my wife’s bone injury.

At first, I was skeptical.

After looking it up online, I found out that you’re really famous for treating bone injuries.

Many patients with bone injuries that originally required surgery were healed with a manual realignment after finding you.

Before coming here, I even specifically asked Director Zhao, and he said he’s heard of your reputation. He also said that if I could truly invite you, it would be a great thing, as my wife’s bone injury could heal faster and accept proper manual realignment treatment, ensuring the lower limb mobility.

He is somewhat famous now; many people know of his skills in manual realignment of bones.

He’s even garnered recognition from many peers.

It’s something to be proud and boastful about.

"Dr. Li, I’m begging you, could you take some time to go and treat my wife? Seeing her in such pain, I really just want her to get better quickly. Only you can help her."

The man kept pleading.

Begging others is like swallowing a three-foot sword. If it weren’t out of sheer desperation, I believe nobody would willingly lower themselves to beg for help.

"Did she get an X-ray after her fall? Did you bring it?"

Li Jingsheng asked.

He, Doctor Xu, and Wei Xianxian can all understand the patient’s bone injury through touch.

However, other doctors don’t have this skill; they need X-ray images to see the bone injury.

"Yes, I did!"

The man quickly took out a white folder containing the X-rays taken during his wife’s examination.

He took it and looked at it carefully.

Li Jingsheng already had a plan in mind.

The patient’s bone injury isn’t particularly severe; he can treat it.

"Is your wife currently in the ICU or a regular ward?"

"Regular ward! We can’t afford the ICU, which costs more than twenty thousand, nearly thirty thousand a day. My wife had a particularly severe infection once and stayed there for three days before she was transferred to a regular ward."

The nursing fees in the ICU are quite expensive.

Additionally, there are costs for the patient’s medication and some equipment usage fees. Many patients need ventilators, even dialysis, and establishing external double circulations.

The most severe cases directly use ECMO, which is even more expensive.

Starting it costs more than seventy thousand, and along with other imported medications used during rescue efforts, daily expenses easily exceed a hundred thousand.

So, health is more important than anything.

Many people work hard their whole lives, only to spend it all on hospitals.

A single serious illness can cost these people tens of thousands, wiping out their entire life savings.

"Alright, I understand the situation, you can go back now!"

Li Jingsheng said to the man.

"I..."

The man clearly didn’t want to just leave.

"Go back!"

Li Jingsheng waved him away.

The man had no choice but to leave.

As he walked out, he felt uncertain, not knowing whether Li Jingsheng would go or not.

The man walked out of the reception hall but quickly returned.

"Dr. Li, this is a small token of appreciation, please accept it." He tossed a rather thick envelope, turned around, and ran.

"Hey, come back and take your envelope!"

"It’s not too little! I’m waiting for you in the oncology ward at Qiaobang Hospital." The man said and then took off running.

Making Li Jingsheng show a helpless smile.

Patients and doctors, patients are the vulnerable group.

Because they have to ask doctors to treat their illnesses.

They don’t dare to offend doctors and have to find ways to please them.

"Master, you have no choice but to go this time!"

Han Siying said with a smile.

"Why do I feel like I’m being forced to go as the master, and you’re quite happy about it?"

Li Jingsheng glanced at her and opened the envelope.

It contained five hundred yuan.

"Haha, of course, I’m happy! That young couple is so pitiful, you should help them."

Han Siying laughed as she tried to speak nicely for the man.

"You’re always meddling in things!"

Li Jingsheng reprimanded her and then looked towards the transfusion room.

"Sister Tang, later, take a thousand yuan cash from the business’s funds and give it to me!"

"Ok!"

Tang Ping was busy giving a patient an injection, busy as ever.

Currently, Tang Ping manages the clinic’s cash income.

After work in the evening, she would give the accounts to Li Jingsheng.

As long as there’s a slight match, there’s basically no discrepancy. Li Jingsheng is very confident in her.

On the other hand, Xiaogao, although known as the ’manager’ who sells medicine at the clinic, manages all offline and online medicine sales. But the clinic’s revenue and payments never go through Xiaogao’s hands.

Li Jingsheng only trusts Tang Ping in this matter.

It’s not that believing Xiaogao to handle money would definitely cause problems, but rather not giving Xiaogao any chances to make mistakes.

Just like a beautiful young housewife, being home alone in the hot weather is one thing. But taking a bath at night without closing the windows and only pulling the curtains, Old Wang originally hadn’t thought much of it.

In the end, his head got hot, and impulsively, he climbed in through the window.

Old Wang was eventually taken away by the police.

The weaknesses of human nature, few people can restrain.

Xiaogao is a hero of Sunshine Clinic and a veteran employee. He has contributed greatly to the clinic’s development.

Precisely because of this, Li Jingsheng wants to protect him even more.

Not letting him have the opportunity to make mistakes.

"Siying, hurry up and eat, so we can start early in the afternoon."

After saying that, Li Jingsheng took the lead and walked out of the reception hall to eat.

Almost finished with the meal, Tang Ping brought him a thousand yuan in cash.

"Boss, check it."

She didn’t ask Li Jingsheng what he was going to use the money for, just letting him ensure the amount was correct.

This is a very smart approach.

Li Jingsheng counted, not a single yuan less, exactly ten red bills.

"That’s right, it’s one thousand yuan."

"Please sign here for me."

Tang Ping asked him to sign a book, as a procedural formality.

...

Even before six in the afternoon, Li Jingsheng had already finished dealing with all the patients ahead of time.

"Once you’re done, you can leave on your own."

He walked out of the clinic, immediately waved for a taxi, and headed to Qiaobang Hospital.

Shortly after, he arrived at the oncology building of Qiaobang Hospital.

Every time he comes to Qiaobang Hospital, it feels particularly large, with many newly expanded comprehensive buildings serving as testimony to Qiaobang Hospital’s prosperity.

Many seriously ill patients flock here, allowing Qiaobang Hospital to earn a full pot.

With money earned, the hospital can recruit talent, expand, purchase advanced equipment and instruments, build laboratories, etc. It’s a virtuous circle.

Take a look at Zhengzhou University First Affiliated Hospital and Huaxi, and you’ll understand.

Almost all well-developed hospitals share a common trait: strong capability, good reputation, and earning capacity.

Hospitals with weak revenue can only slowly decline amidst the tides of history, finally closing or degenerating into third-rate hospitals just passing the time.

Li Jingsheng’s Sunshine Clinic has a good reputation and strong earning capacity. Its development potential is actually very great.

With money, you can recruit people, purchase equipment, and expand scale.

Qiaobang Hospital’s oncology department is definitely a money-making monster. Its departmental infrastructure is becoming increasingly perfect.

If you separate it, it is practically a specialized tumor hospital.

8th floor, 11th room, 79th bed.

Li Jingsheng remembered the bed number when looking at the female patient’s file folder.

At this moment, in room 11, the husband of the female lung cancer patient is anxiously waiting.

Seeing his wife suffer from bone fractures and being tormented, he feels both distressed and powerless.

He couldn’t guarantee that Li Jingsheng would definitely come.

The patients living in this room are all here because of malignant tumors. If they were benign, they wouldn’t be eligible to stay here.

Just as he eagerly awaited, a somewhat familiar figure appeared at the door.

"Li, Dr. Li!"

The man instantly became excited.

At the first sight of Li Jingsheng, his eyes welled up with tears.

"This is your wife, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Fang Aii, this is Dr. Li, I specially invited him to help you with manual repositioning and treat your bone injury."

The man had kept it from his wife all along.

Now he dared to introduce him to his wife.

"Hello, sorry to trouble you."

The female patient was clearly unaware of the effort her husband had put into inviting Li Jingsheng.

She thought her husband was just normally hiring a doctor specialized in bone injuries.

So there wasn’t much expression.

"Pull the curtain, please! I’ll first check your wife’s bone injury condition."

Li Jingsheng said to the man.

After the curtain was pulled, Li Jingsheng started examining the woman’s bone injury.

"Hmm..."

When he touched her bones, she bit her teeth in pain.

"It’s relatively ideal. After this repositioning, you’ll need an external fixation. Are you staying in the hospital for a long time, or going home in a few days?"

During the examination, Li Jingsheng found the woman’s body had thin bones.

Moreover, her bone quality wasn’t very ideal.

Additionally, a harsh reality was revealed; he saw her bone appearance was poor, completely like dead wood bone appearance, indicating her cancer wasn’t controlled.

Radiation and chemotherapy truly have a reputation; patients who successfully survive under their attack either beat cancer.

Or don’t succeed and sacrifice themselves.

Regretfully, the female patient’s situation wasn’t good.

One could completely say she was beyond cure.
