Great Doctor Ling Ran
chapter-1315

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1314 acceptance

“Doctor, please take a look at me again. Is there any other way to treat this illness of mine? Or do you want to treat it conservatively? The kind that can last for a few more years?”The old driver did not directly say that he would be discharged from the hospital. As an ordinary patient, he knew that it was not easy to get to Ling ran, and he also did not want to give up the opportunity.

Up until now, Ling ran had some understanding of all kinds of patients. When he heard the patient in bed 102 speak, he knew that the patient had the intention to be discharged from the hospital.

Ling ran had always had a realistic view of the real world’s real problems. It was just like watching a crowd. You could use all kinds of language and methods to ridicule or dissuade the crowd from watching, but the crowd was never small.

Similarly, people who were unwilling to perform surgeries because they did not have the money were not rare in hospitals, and they were very common. Even for sociologists who focused on the corresponding problem, it was difficult and complicated to completely and accurately deconstruct it.

Ling ran had always faced such a complicated problem head-on.

It was just like being surrounded by onlookers. If he used all the onlookers as the target of his speech, and used an educational method to make moral statements and social accusations, he would be able to stand still, but being surrounded by onlookers would not be able to solve it.

When Ling ran faced the onlookers, he would either wait for the help of a third party, or he would speak to a single person.

Just like now, Ling ran did not have any intention of talking about the cost of the surgery. Instead, he slowly took out alcohol-based hand sanitizer, skillfully squeezed out a lump of it, and wiped his hands, he said, “According to recent research, your condition is that of severe coronary arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation. The survival rate and prognosis of the surgical intervention far exceed that of conservative treatment.”

The patient was stunned by the somewhat academic answer. He turned around and said with a wry smile, “All good things are expensive. We don’t have money, and we don’t have a choice.”

Ling ran shook his head. “The cost for me to perform the surgery, or for other doctors to perform the surgery, is basically equivalent.”

“In China, a surgery performed by Doctor Ling himself can definitely be regarded as a good thing.”Zuo Cidian stood up with a smile. This kind of situation was something he was good at.

“I’m not talking about this…”the patient was a little helpless. He had just entered into a sentimental mood. was he going to argue with others about this now?

“I’m afraid that you don’t understand what Doctor Ling said about the survival rate and prognosis.”Zuo cidian casually dragged Yu Yuan out and said, “Tell me about it.”

Yu Yuan was like a wrench that was used temporarily. She did not care whether she was taken out to put a screw head or a human head. She immediately responded to the mission, she opened her mouth and said, “The conservative treatment that Doctor Ling refers to is usually medication treatment. In comparison, the long-term survival rate of the patients after the surgical intervention can be increased by 50% , which is half.”

“I might be the other half…”the old driver patient laughed in his misery.

“The other half.”Zuo Cidian said more directly and then motioned for Yu Yuan to speak.

Yu Yuan tugged at her cheeks, then, she played the role of a tool. “The specific reference is a report that compared 111 patients with mitral regurgitation and multiple vascular stenosis. It compared the results of drug treatment, simple coronary artery bypass grafting, and coronary artery transplantation combined with mitral valve replacement. “Among them, the effect of drug treatment is the worst.”

The old driver looked at them blankly.

“All in all, surgical treatment is the best plan. In your case, removing the coronary artery and mitral valve together is the best.”Zuo Cidian came forward, he whispered in human language again, “For the same surgery, it won’t cost too much to perform one more operation. Besides, you have medical insurance, right? A part of the medical insurance should only cost a few tens of thousands of yuan more.”

“A few tens of thousands of dollars…”the old driver shook his head awkwardly. Due to his health, he had not worked for a few years. He had sold his truck in the past as well. In addition to the daily medical expenses, he could be said to be in a state where he had nothing to eat. The main reason he decided to perform the surgery this time was because his body could not hold on anymore, with the money from his daughter’s filial piety, he barely managed to scrape together enough money. However, it would be too difficult for him to add a few tens of thousands of dollars to this amount.

He could not really sell the house. Not to mention that the old house in the town was small and shabby, and it would take a long time to sell it if it could not be sold at a price. Even if he really sold it, he would not be able to live in it after he returned. Moreover, if he could not leave any inheritance behind, he would not be able to get past him..

“You guys should think about it again. The chance for Doctor Ling to personally perform the surgery is still quite rare.”Zuo Cidian felt a little sympathy for the patient in bed 102. As he looked at the other party, it was as if he could see himself in his old age.

Therefore, Zuo Cidian tried to persuade him a little more, but that was all he could do. After all, there were risks in surgery, and the risks of heart surgery were even greater. According to international standards, the mortality rate of heart bypass surgery combined with heart valve surgery was around 5% .

If one tried to persuade them, and they ended up in a bad situation, not only would it be difficult for the family to bear, but the hospital, department, and Ling ran would also be under great pressure.

In fact, when Zuo Cidian said this, he was also bearing the burden.

He did not even need to turn his head to know that Huo Congjun was definitely staring at the back of his neck..

The group of doctors wrapped themselves into a ball again and were flung out of the ward in a grandiose manner.

Zuo Cidian took the initiative to look for Huo Congjun. He lowered his head and said in a submissive manner, “Chief physician, can you give number 102 some waivers?”

“No, I can’t.”Huo Congjun felt a little better when he saw Zuo Cidian coming over, he said, “Number 102’s conditions, how should I put it? It’s not enough to compete with the lower ones, but it’s more than enough to compete with the lower ones. He has medical insurance and a pension, which is more than $2,000 a month. He also has a small house in the town, and his daughter’s family conditions are also decent. Compared to many low-income households and some homeless old men who don’t have a pension, his conditions are even better…”

“But if he does this, he will become poor due to his illness.”Zuo cidian shook his head slightly. He was very familiar with this kind of sick old man in the town. When he was in the town hospital, many old patients had similar attributes, and the old man who was willing to look down and pick up vegetables in the town’s market was also like this.

Huo Congjun could only sigh. “He is sick, but it is not because of us.”

“Then, is there any funding for the project or the project?”Zuo Cidian took out the Cleveland Clinic and asked, he carefully probed, “When we were in the United States, director Osborne spent millions of dollars to find a suitable patient…”

“Do you think we need to spend money to find a patient?”Huo congjun spread his hands.

“Then…”Zuo Cidian looked back and saw the father and daughter in bed 102 looking at each other speechlessly through the open door of the ward.

Zuo Cidian licked his lips. “How about we allow them to delay the payment?”

Huo Congjun looked at him sideways. “Are you going to be their bed doctor?”

According to Yun Hua Hospital’s policy, if a patient defaulted on the payment or simply left, the hospital, department, attending physician, and the doctor in charge of the bed would have to share a portion of the money.

Zuo Cidian naturally knew about this policy. He touched his Calvin Klein underwear through the white coat and said, “Sure.”
