Chapter 658 Seeing a Doctor Is Difficult and Expensive

Legend has it that the rice guys have never had the habit of inviting guests to dinner, but it turns out that legends are just legends and most of them are not worth believing.

Although he was reluctant to give up, Professor Daniel, who finally got off the operating table, immediately sent a sincere invitation to Yang Xi, and he wanted to invite Yang Xi to eat French food at one of Brother Juice's most famous restaurants.

It's dinner, though.

Lunch, due to time constraints, had to be barely dealt with in the hospital's internal cafeteria.

During the meal, Yang Xi asked Professor Daniel a question that he had since yesterday afternoon through Lian Xiangdong's translation.

"I observed a detail yesterday afternoon, this patient was seen by you two months ago, why did he delay the operation until today?"

Associate Professor Randall corrected: "Less than two months, with only seven weeks in between. ”

Yang Xi was a little speechless.

Well, with the rate of progression of cancer patients, how much difference can there be between seven weeks and two months?

However, when Associate Professor Randall said that the interval was seven weeks, there was a clear look of pride on his face.

Compared to Associate Professor Randall, Professor Daniel seemed very calm, but there was a hint of pride hidden in the look between his eyebrows.

"Yes, we have a turnaround time of only seven weeks for our oncology patients, which we are the leader of all major hospitals in the country. ”

Yang Xi was even more speechless.

The translation of the old man is indeed a little unsmooth, but the meaning of the questioning in the master's words is clearly expressed, how did it reach the ears of these two old guys, and it turned out to be praise and praise?

Lian Xiangdong replaced Yang Xi and asked: "So, in the major hospitals in the United States, what is the average turnaround time for cancer patients from diagnosis to inpatient surgery?"

Associate Professor Randall hurriedly responded, "Ten weeks." ”

Lian Xiangdong continued to ask: "If surgery is not possible and radiotherapy or chemotherapy is planned, how many weeks is this turnaround time?"

This time, Professor Daniel and Associate Professor Randall finally grasped the potential doubts of Yang Xilian and Xiangdong.

"That's right. Professor Daniel personally explained: "If a patient is suspected of malignancy after the first diagnosis, according to the process, we have to organize an MDT for him, and after the diagnosis is confirmed and a suitable treatment plan is formulated, we must also apply for medical insurance, and wait for the approval of the insurance company before the hospital can include the case in the waiting list." ”

Assoc. Prof. Randall added, "It takes us two weeks to arrange MDT, it takes about three weeks to apply for insurance, and the patient actually has to wait for admission to the hospital for two weeks. ”

Professor Daniel shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "No way, we also know that cancer patients should be treated this morning as soon as they are diagnosed, but there are too many patients, and we have done our best." ”

Out of curiosity, Associate Professor Randall asked Lian Xiangdong rhetorically, "In your country, how long is the turnaround time for cancer patients?"

Lian Xiangdong was overflowing with pride, and he wanted to respond truthfully, but was grabbed by Yang Xi.

"Almost, just a few days less than you. ”

A week is a few days.

Two weeks can also be said to be a few days.

A month can also be expressed in terms of a few days.

Yang Xi's statement is not substantially wrong.

Lian Xiangdong understood Yang Xi's intentions in seconds.

As Professor Chen Renran said, most of the rice guys have become frogs at the bottom of the well because of their innate superiority, which Associate Professor Randall seems to be like this, and Professor Daniel is almost like this, it is best not to communicate with the two frogs at the bottom of the well, not too far beyond their cognitive range.

After listening to Yang Xi's answer, Professor Daniel and Associate Professor Randall showed relief at the same time.

"What we just said is that for patients who take the national medical insurance, if it is commercial medical insurance, the application and approval time will be shortened to a week and a half. After hearing that Hua Guo was not going to be able to do so for a few days, Associate Professor Randall regained his pride and continued: "But if it is completely self-funded, then this turnaround time can be compressed to two to three weeks." ”

Yang Xi smiled and gave a thumbs up to the two.

There is no sarcasm in it.

It's really admiration from the heart.

In the case that each patient has to be delayed for more than two months, the three-year and five-year survival rate of cancer patients can achieve a crushing advantage for Huaguo, and I have to say to others: Awesome!

Lian Xiangdong asked again: "In terms of cost, for example, today's patient, after surgery, is given basic adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, how much does the overall cost cost?"

Professor Daniel responded: "In general, it will cost about 250,000 to 300,000 dollars, and medical insurance will pay most of the proportion, and the burden on the individual is only about a quarter. ”

Lian Xiangdong couldn't help but glance at Yang Xi.

No wonder Na Xie Zhonghua dared to set the cost of surgery in China at the base line of 50,000 dollars. Spend less money, don't wait, the doctor who is in charge of the operation is even more awesome than their big names in the United States, such an opportunity, only a fool will not be tempted.

Yang Xi smiled knowingly.

Lao Xie is really reliable in this business!

A patient in the United States receives 30,000 dollars, which is not too much in a month, and if you get fifteen or twenty such patients, that is a total income of five or six hundred thousand dollars, or six or seven million dollars in a year.

It only takes two years, or two and a half years at most, to repay Lao Xie's loan of more than 60 million soft sister coins with interest.

However, there is one final doubt.

"I heard that most of you Mi people don't have much savings, is it true? If this is true, then how can most Mi people do it to pay tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses at once?"

Yang's inquiry sparked a sense of national pride among Professor Daniel and Associate Professor Randall.

"That's right, we're really bad at depositing because we don't know what the benefits of depositing are. As long as the money spent on yourself is truly yours, and if you put it in the bank, the result can only be depreciation or constant tax payment. ”

Professor Daniel took a sip of soda and continued to talk eloquently: "The financial system and financial system of the United States are the most complete in the world, so the worries you just raised do not exist for the people of the United States, even citizens who receive unemployment benefits can apply for a loan to pay the bill of the health insurance company within three days." ”

All right.

You are a great imperialist.

We don't have the heart to argue with you about this.

All we want to know is whether your patients in the United States can afford the 50,000 dollars that Huaguo asked for the master to operate.

As for whether the citizens of your country have the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment, and what is the matter of the master?
