A male doctor with an arrogant and indifferent expression said to Father Shen and Mother Shen: "One bed, you owe medical bills. Pay it quickly. If you can't pay it today, stop taking the medicine immediately!"
As he spoke, he took out a colorful bill from the pocket of his white coat and threw it frivolously on Father Shen's hospital bed.
"Ah? We have to pay medical bills again. Didn't we just pay 40,000 yuan yesterday and it was all spent in one night?" Father Shen and Mother Shen grabbed the bill and looked at it carefully with Father Shen in disbelief.
The bill included three thousand yuan for X-ray, two thousand yuan for ECG, three thousand yuan for blood test, and five thousand yuan for AIDS test. The various tests alone were close to thirty thousand yuan.
In addition, there are 5,000 yuan for the bed fee, 1,000 yuan for the stage fee and 1,000 yuan for the stage fee, 10,000 yuan for the bone setting fee, and various medicines. There are many things that Father Shen and Mother Shen have never heard of. Name, the name of something I have never seen before.
All in all, the 40,000 yuan that Shen's father and Shen's mother paid yesterday had long since disappeared, and in the end they owed the hospital close to 120,000 to 30,000 yuan.
"Is this so expensive? An X-ray examination cost three thousand yuan. Before -" Father Shen was so frightened that he opened his mouth and said.
"You also know that it was in the past, what prices were before, and what prices are now, and how do you compare them with before!" The male doctor scolded Father Shen with a look of disdain, raising his head even higher.
"What about the AIDS test? My old man has a fracture, why do we need to check for AIDS?" Shen's mother also looked at the male doctor in disbelief.
"This is a hospital rule and must be checked! Who knows whether you have AIDS or not? Checking it will reassure others. Otherwise, who would dare to treat you and give you injections?" The male doctor looked at Father Shen and Mother Shen with some mockery.
Don’t these guys know what a hospital is for? If we don’t kill them, do we want all the doctors and nurses in the hospital to drink the northwest wind?
"Remember, the money you owe the hospital must be paid today, otherwise we will stop taking your medicine and kick you out. The hospital will also notify the court to seize your house and sell it to repay the hospital's debt! Also, your second bed, Hurry up and raise the medical expenses, otherwise you will end up like them!"
The male doctor finished speaking sinisterly, raised his nostrils, and without looking at anyone in the room, turned around and walked away on his newly purchased designer leather shoes, leaving behind a room full of people with sad faces.
"This, this, where is this hospital? We've obviously entered a den of thieves! We've obviously been robbed! No, I can't stay in this hospital anymore. I want to go home." Father Shen pressed his heart. When I got the bill, I was so frightened that my blood pressure soared.
"No, the old man already owes so much money, and there's nothing you can do if you can't live there. Also, your leg has just been put in a plaster. If you don't continue the treatment, if someone does something bad, what will you do to me? What to do?" As she spoke, Mother Shen choked up and started crying.
"No, Juanjuan, don't cry. Let's think of a way and we will get through this difficulty. Hey -" Father Shen frowned and stroked his wife's gray hair in embarrassment to comfort her.
Ever since Feifei lost her voice, Mother Shen often cried sadly. Her hair was more than half white, and she seemed to be several decades older. She would often wake up crying in the middle of the night, if it weren't for Father Shen who had an extremely strong personality to take care of her. , I’m afraid I can’t hold on anymore.
Now Father Shen has broken his leg. If he can't heal his leg early and stand up again, the family will completely collapse!
After being heartbroken, Father Shen and Mother Shen had to face the reality and calculated the accounts carefully with the colorful bill that cost people their lives.
Before the end of the world, Shen's father worked as a financial manager in a company run by Jiangnan people. His annual salary was still very high, and he could earn hundreds of thousands. Shen's mother was a teacher and her annual income was very stable, so even though the Shen family was not rich, they still lived a well-off life. level. The family has no income pressure and lives happily.
But after the end of the world, the companies run by Jiangnan people closed down, and Shen's father lost his job. The local military and police government also inspected and harassed people severely, and all industries were in ruins. Few companies were recruiting people. Shen's father was old and had a job. I can't compete with young people either. I have no choice but to stay at home and rest on my laurels.
Since the end of the world, Shen's mother has been worried about Shen Feifei's safety and has become nervous. She often makes mistakes at work and can no longer work. She also stays at home with Shen's father who is unemployed.
Fortunately, the Shen family used to have a rich family, and Shen's mother was diligent and thrifty, and had a few million in savings. Therefore, the old couple would not starve to death as soon as they lost their jobs.
The welfare measures previously established by the government were all stopped after the end of the world. It was said that due to the loss of tax sources from the rich land of Jiangnan, the government itself had difficulties in operating. It was unable to make ends meet and was no longer able to pay any welfare to the people.
In the past six months, the Shen family has been relying on these savings, but there has been no open source income.
However, after the apocalypse, prices are getting higher day by day, not to mention the rapid rise. Now even a small egg-sized potato can be sold for more than ten yuan, let alone other things. .
Even if Father Shen and Mother Shen were to live together again, they couldn't bear the torment of prices. Gradually, the savings of several million were about to bottom out.
If Father Shen hadn't broken his bones this time, the Shen family might have been able to support their lives for another month or two. But at this juncture, the damn plastic stool broke off. As a result, Father Shen had to be hospitalized.
You know, even before the end of the world, ordinary people would not dare to go to the hospital for treatment if they had minor illnesses or disasters.
That hospital is a gold-swallowing beast with bottomless bottom!
Those doctors and nurses are like butchers wearing white coats sharpening their knives, and the patients are like the lambs waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board!
If you go to the hospital for a minor cold, you may be tricked by the doctor into going through various examinations. You may be prescribed a lot of medicines for many days and spend thousands of dollars, but it cannot be cured.
It would be even worse if the illness was a little bigger and had to be hospitalized.
A stay in the hospital costs tens of thousands, which is equivalent to a person's money saved for a year without food or drink. And it is impossible to escape from the clutches of the hospital until they empty your pocket.
Moreover, some doctors have a very arrogant attitude. Misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis are common. Just like the doctor just now, his nostrils were raised to the sky.
After the apocalypse, the medical fees in this hospital will be even more outrageous, and ordinary people will be even more afraid to come in.
No one dares to come unless they have a serious illness.
You can tell by looking at the deserted lobby of the hospital with only a few patients.
However, the hospital cannot drink from the northwest wind, so it has strengthened the charges for patients who come to the hospital for medical treatment. The charging standards for this and that are only what the patients can't think of, and there is nothing the hospital dares to charge.
Today, the injured Father Shen and the others ran into the hospital net, and could only wait obediently for them to slaughter and humiliate him.
