The First Affiliated Hospital Qin Shumei mentioned refers to the First Affiliated Hospital of BJ University. After the founding of the People's Republic of China and before the 1980s, it was called the First Affiliated Hospital of BJ Medical College.
Zhang Junping took Qin Shumei on his bicycle and pedaled all the way to the First Affiliated Hospital.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou was sitting in the hospital corridor wiping tears.
The two Huaizhi brothers have completed the operation and are still in the intensive care unit. Their family members cannot accompany them and can only wait outside.
"Pingzi is here!" Mrs. Zhou's eyes glowed with hope when she saw Zhang Junping.
Then he looked around at Zhang Junping and Qin Shumei.
Mrs. Zhou's mood was contradictory. She wanted something to happen between the two of them, but she also didn't want anything to happen.
People are always so contradictory.
"Mom, how is the child?"
"Mrs. Zhou, how are you?"
"I haven't woken up yet...
Oh my God! What a sin have I done!
If you want to punish me, then punish me. If my precious grandson is in trouble, I won't be able to live anymore..." Old Mrs. Zhou said, and then started to cry.
Mrs. Zhou's nerves had been tense before and she didn't even dare to cry. Now when she saw Zhang Junping, she seemed to have a backbone and started to cry.
This mentality is actually the same as that of a child.
If a child falls down, he will get up and continue playing if there is no adult present.
If an adult is present, just look at it and the crying will be earth-shattering.
"Old Mrs. Zhou, please stop crying now. This is a hospital, don't disturb the patients, Huaizhi is still inside!" When Zhang Junping mentioned the two Huaizhi brothers, Mrs. Zhou immediately stopped crying.
For Mrs. Zhou, who lost her husband in middle age and her son in old age, the two Huai Zhi brothers were her lifeblood.
Nothing is more important than the two Huai Zhi brothers.
"You guys wait here, I'll go find the doctor and ask about the situation." After persuading Mrs. Zhou to stop, Zhang Junping explained and walked towards the doctor's duty room.
"Hello, doctor! I am Zhou Minghuai, Zhou Mingzhi's parent. I would like to ask how they are doing now?" Zhang Junping asked a middle-aged doctor after knocking on the door of the duty room.
"Oh! You are the parent of those two children!
Thanks to the timely delivery, the child is out of danger.
I'm not telling you parents, just watch out. How can you let such a young child climb a tree? It's too dangerous!
If the child below hadn’t picked it up, the child above would have suffered a broken leg and a slight liver rupture, which could have resulted in death.” When the middle-aged doctor heard that Zhang Junping was the child’s parent, he immediately started nagging mode.
.
He had wanted to say these words for a long time, but the two women before had stopped him from saying them.
Now that the male head of the family is here, I finally don’t have to hold it in anymore and can let it out.
"You are right, we were negligent! Thank you for saving the child!
There’s nothing else to say. Seeing that you’re working hard at night, you can take these two packs of cigarettes and give them a try.”
The middle-aged doctor was speechless. After being a doctor for so many years, he had met all kinds of family members of patients, and many of them gave him gifts. Some gave him money, some gave him meat stamps, some gave him tea, and some gave him eggs.
There were also people who gave away cigarettes, but this was the first time I encountered someone who gave away two packs of cigarettes.
"You don't want..." Just as he was about to refuse, the middle-aged doctor noticed that there was something different about the cigarettes Zhang Junping gave him.
As the chief physician, the middle-aged doctor is well-informed, and he has actually seen such a cigarette once.
I was lucky enough to smoke one.
It was a senior brother of his who went to Haizili to consult with the leader, and the leader's family gave him a box of cigarettes like this.
The senior brother regarded it as a treasure and hid it for more than a year without wanting to smoke it. Later, he did a favor to the senior brother and gave him a cigarette.
Now, two full boxes of such cigarettes were placed in front of him.
The middle-aged doctor stood up from his chair and said, "You are too polite! It is our duty to treat illnesses and save people..."
"Maybe you are just doing your duty, but to our patients' families, you are our savior.
We are relieved to know that the child is not in danger, and you will have to worry more later.
After all, the child is still young, so don’t leave any sequelae...
So, you're busy! I'll go to the nurse's station to see how much money is left, and I'll settle the bill!" After Zhang Junping said a few polite words, he said goodbye and left.
The middle-aged doctor walked Zhang Junping to the door, watched Zhang Junping go away, and then turned around and entered the room.
Quickly put away the cigarette and hide it.
The middle-aged doctor held the cigarette in his pocket and couldn't help but think of what his senior brother did before.
From time to time, he would take out his cigarettes to show off, and at critical moments, he would take one out and give one to the hospital leaders.
Although it doesn't have much effect, it can have some effect.
If you...
The middle-aged doctor suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing to ask the hospital leadership for.
Divide houses?
Got it myself.
The professional title is already Chief Physician, which is the highest for the time being.
The director of the competition department? The current director is only in his fifties and is still very early to retire.
deputy director?
Is there a bird for it?
When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that it was just that. I took out the special cigarette that I had regarded as a treasure just now, opened it and took a puff.
Um!
So delicious!
If you have no desires, you will be strong, and you are talking about yourself.
After smoking a cigarette that the big leaders in Haizi smoked, the middle-aged doctor decided to go to the ward to take a look.
Here, Zhang Junping went to the nurse station and asked about the medical expenses, leaving behind a large bag of spiced melon seeds and pine nuts.
Then I went to the toll office and paid 246 yuan.
The surgery fee for the Huaizhi brothers plus the cost of the intensive care unit exceeded 300 yuan. No wonder Qin Shumei was so helpless.
Three hundred yuan, this is still the cost as of today.
I don’t know how much it will cost in the future.
In this era, three hundred yuan is Qin Shumei's salary for eight or nine months.
Qin Shumei is now living frugally for a month, squeezing out through her teeth, but can only save three or four yuan.
Including follow-up treatment fees, the total cost will be at least more than 500 yuan.
Five hundred yuan, at the rate Qin Shumei is saving now, she won't be able to repay in ten years.
There is no hope at all.
In the eyes of most people, Qin Shumei simply has no ability to repay.
Those who lent money to them in the courtyard were basically giving it to them for free, with no intention of asking for it back.
In this case, naturally no more will be given. One family will be given one or two yuan, and those who have more will be given four or five yuan.
Some people may question how medical expenses for seven or eight years can be so expensive.
Medical expenses have never been cheaper.
If you compare the medical expenses before the 1980s with current wages, you will definitely feel that the 1980s were really cheap.
Of the two children, one suffered broken legs and a broken hip, the other suffered broken arms and ribs, and both had internal organ injuries.
For such an injury, would one hundred thousand dollars be enough now?
In the 1980s, it cost about one hundred yuan to have a baby in BJ. Now, how much does it cost to have a baby in BJ?
