Chapter 777 How to ask for money for a free clinic (2 more)
The patient himself is older, and the condition is still so serious, which is really difficult.
Shen Tianshu asked the patient's eldest son: "Can you see what medicines you have taken before seeing a doctor?"
But she actually just asked tentatively.
Because many people are illiterate, they simply don’t keep old prescriptions.
Fortunately, the old man's eldest son was quite attentive. When he asked, he immediately took out two prescriptions from his arms and handed them over.
Shen Tianshu looked at the results and found that it was just as she had expected. The first two doctors had treated the patient according to the strong fire in the heart and stomach, so instead of getting better, it had become worse with more treatment.
Shen Tianshu carefully looked at the pulse conditions recorded on the two prescriptions, and after comparing them with the old man's pulse condition today, he probably had an idea.
"I would like to ask, how are the conditions at your home?"
The old man's son was a little excited when he heard this and said: "Ms. Tong, as long as my father's disease can be cured, even if you ask me to sell iron, sons and daughters, I will give you the money."
When Shen Tianshu heard that he might have misunderstood what he meant, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "That's not what I meant. The main reason is that the old man is too old, and his current condition is very complicated. He is cold on the outside and weak on the inside, and also has yin and yang deficiency, so In the past, the two doctors used medicine according to Yang deficiency, but there was no improvement and the condition became more and more serious.
"At the same time, the elderly also have problems with blood stasis blocking the stomach and dampness trapping the spleen. Medication must be used very carefully and the patient's condition needs to be observed every day.
"So I want to ask, if the situation at home is not too difficult, can I take the old man to Wuchang Mansion again? There is a place to stay in my medical center, and the cost is not expensive. The people accompanying me can also stay together. , you can eat with the medical center, or you can pay for some firewood and cook it yourself at the medical center...
"But according to a more optimistic estimate, you will have to stay for half a month to a month, so I don't know if your home situation can support taking the elderly there for medical treatment."
In fact, to be honest, Shen Tianshu is not short of money. In her previous life, she often went out to provide free medical treatment to poor people.
But her grandfather once warned her that there are rules in each profession. Occasionally, free medical treatment is allowed, and medicines can be given away when encountering major disasters. However, she should not feel that she is not short of money and just give out charity blindly. This will not only attract A bigger dispute, and it is equivalent to destroying the jobs of other colleagues.
When the old man's son heard that it was just like this, he immediately turned his anger into a smile and said: "Ms. Tong, I'm really sorry, I made a mistake.
"Don't worry, my father has a total of seven sons and a dozen grandchildren. Even if the family raises a little together, it can be enough to take the old man to see a doctor.
"Before, I was reluctant to see the old man suffer. Now that I can ask you to treat my father, there is nothing to worry about."
"I can only do my best." Shen Tianshu finished writing a list and handed it to him. "After you pack up at home, take the old man directly to my medical clinic in Wuchang Mansion and give the list to Gao Gao. Just ask the housekeeper, he will settle you down and notify me."
The old man's son quickly put the list into his arms, thanked his two sons profusely, and then asked his two sons to carry the old man out.
As soon as they went out, they were immediately stopped by a younger doctor and asked: "How is it? Madam Tong has given you a prescription? I'll show it to you. My apprentice happens to be there too, and I asked him to take you directly to get the medicine." "
The old man's son shook his head and said: "There is no prescription, so there is no need to take medicine!"
The young doctor was stunned when he heard this. He opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you say that Mrs. Tong is very powerful? Why can't she even cure the sores on her mouth and tongue? She didn't even give her a prescription. Could it be that she asked your father to go home and wait... "
Before he could finish his words, someone grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the opposite wall.
"Shut your stinky mouth! Mrs. Tong said that my father's condition is complicated and asked us to stay at a medical center in the city and slowly treat him! How come it becomes incurable when it comes to your mouth? I don't think you can cure it. !”
The young doctor felt embarrassed when he was called upon in public. He wanted to call his disciples to help him, but when he saw that there were two strong young men behind him, he was immediately discouraged.
"I'm just asking, why are you so angry?" He straightened his clothes and returned to his seat to continue treating the people behind him.
Unexpectedly, what this patient did next suddenly gave him new inspiration for making money.
After Shen Tianshu sent away the old man and his family, two more patients came in soon after, but neither of them had any serious problems.
One was just a simple wind-chill. It was probably because I used too much ice because of the hot weather. I went to see a doctor but didn’t trust the doctors at the medical center. Finally, I heard that Mrs. Tong was at the free clinic at Tian’en Temple and ran here.
The other one was even more speechless. He was not sick at all. After he came in, he kept talking about the fifth generation of his family. He pestered Shen Tianshu to give him a medicine to protect his son. It was not until Shen Tianshu called the guards that he was taken away. Send away.
"What's going on up front?"
Shen Tianshu felt strange, so he simply put on his curtain hat and went around to the front hall to see what was going on.
There were quite a lot of people in the front hall, and several monks from Tianen Temple treated many minor injuries on the spot.
For other problems, you have to queue up in front of the doctor for consultation.
There were only two doctors, and one had a long queue in front of him, while the other had no one in front of him, which was really puzzling.
Shen Tianshu was about to step forward to take a look at the situation, when a young woman walked in supporting a middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman seemed to have difficulty walking, so she did not go to the queue, but went straight to the young doctor's desk.
"Dr. Chen, my mother took the medicine you prescribed last time, but she didn't seem to get any better, and she got worse and worse. Not only was it difficult to walk, she couldn't do any work, she also felt chest tightness and breathlessness all the time, and there was some pain in her heart.
"It's hard to stand up after going to the toilet and I feel like I can't breathe..."
Before the young woman finished speaking, Dr. Chen said impatiently: "Your mother has been suffering from this for many years. If you don't see a doctor as soon as possible, you have to wait until it becomes serious before you come to me."
"Haven't you heard a saying? A disease comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. Such a serious problem must be treated bit by bit.
"I am a doctor, not a god. If you want immediate results, you might as well go to the temple and ask for blessings from Bodhisattva to see if your mother will be fine!"
Doctor Chen's words made the mother and daughter so angry that they didn't know what to say.
The young woman begged: "Doctor Chen, we want to go in and ask Mrs. Tong to help us take a look..."
"Okay!" Doctor Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to the young woman, shaking her hand up and down.
"Doctor Chen, what do you mean?" The young woman did not understand.
"Do you think Mrs. Tong can meet anyone? If you want to go in, you have to be nice, right?"
"But... isn't Mrs. Tong a free clinic? Why do you still need money?"
