âReally?â said the middle-aged woman in the dress.
âBut is it appropriate since Director Li is not taking patients today?â
âYou guys definitely canât get an appointment, but I watched her grow up. My words carry weight.â Wei Erzhu said, âWait here. Iâll help you arrange it.â
âAiyo, thank you so much.â
âThereâs no need to be so polite. Itâs just a small matter.â
Hearing their conversation, the people standing at the door of the other clinics walked toward Wei Erzhu.
âMaster, we also want to see Director Li, but we canât get a slot today. Can you think of a way to get Director Li to treat us?â
Wei Erzhu straightened his back when he saw that the people in the city were all dressed up and looking at him for help.
âNo problem. As long as I go in and say a word, I can get all of you appointments. However, everyone has to queue up. One by one.â
âThatâs no problem. Come, come, come. Letâs go line up now. When this master finishes his check up, itâll be our turn.â
Because of his words, these city people obediently queued up. Wei Erzhu was exceptionally satisfied.
Although he was from the countryside and did not have much money, these people obediently listened to him.
At the thought of this, the Wei family straightened their backs and walked into Li Chuhanâs consultation room.
However, Li Chuhanâs expression was even uglier than before.
She had heard everything that happened outside the door just now.
Them doing this had caused a mess!
Lin Yi was right.
These people were too greedy.
Seeing Li Chuhan, Wei Erzhuâs expression was still very stern, as if he had something to say to Li Chuhan.
âGirl, the registration fee for the doctor you recommended to me is too expensive. He actually asked me for 84 yuan. In the county hospital, the hospital directorâs registration fee is only 11 yuan.â
âMy cost is 146. Which one do you think is appropriate?â
Wei Erzhu stopped talking and looked a little embarrassed. In that case, 84 yuan was far more suitable. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright, let the doctor check you first. Weâll talk about the rest later,â Lu Ronghua said.
âYes, yes, yes. Letâs do this first.â Wei Erzhu sat on the chair and stretched out his wrist.
âGirl, please take a look.â
âIâm a western doctor, not a traditional Chinese doctor. Thereâs no need to take your pulse,â Li Chuhan said.
âLetâs talk about your condition first. Where are you feeling unwell? Whatâs your reaction?â
âI just feel uncomfortable in my heart. Sometimes, my hand and neck will hurt too. Thatâll feel especially uncomfortable.â
Li Chuhan took the consultation card and scanned it on the computer as she said,
âThis symptom is a little like acute angina. Letâs go to the fourth floor for an electrocardiogram and cardiac ultrasound first. Iâll see whatâs going on and then arrange the next treatment plan.â
After saying that, Li Chuhan pushed the consultation card back and prepared to let them go for a checkup.
âGirl, can I just take this to see a doctor?â
âGo ahead. There arenât many people around right now, so youâll get a result soon.â
âDonât I need to mention your name?â
Li Chuhan frowned slightly. In the end, she still wrote a note. âBring this over. They will give you a good checkup.â
Li Chuhan agreed because Zheng Binjiangâs name was written on the consultation card.
âOkay, okay, okay. Iâll go over now.â
The three of them pushed open the door and heard Wei Erzhu say,
âEveryone, wait a moment. Iâll be done with my treatment soon. Iâll let you in after Iâm done.â
âAlright, alright, thereâs no hurry,â the people in the queue said gratefully.
A few minutes later, the Wei family rushed back.
âGirl, whatâs going on? We were on our way to do an electrocardiogram. Why is that doctor still asking me for an invoice? Moreover, he said that I didnât pay and they wonât do it for me.â
Lin Yi and Li Chuhan were stunned.
âIf you donât pay, you naturally wonât be able to do it. Isnât this obvious?â
How could he even ask such a stupid question?
âIf you donât pay, of course they wonât take the scan for you. The hospitalâs equipment isnât free-to-use either,â Li Chuhan said.
âBut arenât you the director of this hospital? You even specially wrote a note for me. Do I really have to spend money to see a doctor?â Wei Erzhu said matter-of-factly.
âAlso, I asked around. It costs more than 500 yuan to do an electrocardiogram and a heart ultrasound. Thatâs too much.â
âAlthough Iâm the director of this hospital, the hospital doesnât belong to my family. I have to follow the hospitalâs rules and regulations. Spending money is a must,â Li Chuhan said.
âThe note I wrote for you just now has already crossed my bottom line. I really canât do anything else.â
âSo youâre saying that I have to spend money to get you to treat me?â Wei Erzhu asked confidently.
âWhat else? Where do you go to see a doctor without spending money?â
âThen I wonât take an the scan anymore. Take my pulse.â Wei Erzhu stretched out his arm again. âThe doctors in the Huaxian Medical Hospital will know what my illness is once they take my pulse. Their processes arenât as troublesome as yours.â
âIâve already said that this is Western medicine, not Huaxian medicine. If you want to get your pulse taken, youâre in the wrong place.â
âArenât you the department director? Donât you guys know how to treat patients without using equipment? If not, your doctors too unskilled. If others can understand the radiographic films, wonât they be able to become doctors themselves?â
Li Chuhan took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the impatience in her heart.
However, at this moment, Lin Yi spoke.
âYou have a point. An illness like angina is not a serious illness. The worst outcome is a dead person. Itâs not a big deal. You can just go back and treat it yourself. It will save you money.â
âYouâre just a soldier. Do you have the right to speak?â
Wei Erzhu waved his hand impatiently. âIâm not taking the scans anymore. Get me some medicine from the hospital. Iâll go home and take it.â
âHow can I get you some medicine?â
âDoesnât the hospital have its own pharmacy? Youâre a doctor here, so you should get the medicine for free. Just give me some. Iâm not making things difficult for you, right?â
âHospital medicine is sold to the public. You canât just take it.â
âYou canât even take medicine casually?â Wei Erzhu obviously didnât believe her. âAre you kidding me? That Liu Er kid in town works in a cigarette factory in the city. He has a rule whereby he can smoke as he pleases.â
âThereâs also Fatty Sunâs son. He works in a winery in the county and drinks white wine casually.â
âYouâre a doctor. Isnât it natural for you to take the hospitalâs medicine?â
Li Chuhan was already on the verge of breaking down from such a bizarre statement.
Why didnât these people have any common sense?
However, at this moment, Lin Yi, who had saved her before, appeared once again.
âDidnât you just say that you can smoke as much as you want in the smoke factory? You can drink as much wine as you want in the wine factory. The medicine in our hospital can also be eaten as you please.â
âLook, your man has told the truth. You were just fooling me just now and didnât want to give it to me, right?â
âDonât be anxious. My boss didnât lie to you. You can take any medicine in our hospital, but you canât bring it outside hospital grounds. Do you need me to get you some euthanasia? Do you want to take it now?â
