Chapter 308: You Discriminate Against Me?
"Thank you. ”
The shy young man sincerely thanked him.
"You're welcome. ”
Adam smiled and closed the door to the ward, the smile in his eyes almost overflowing.
He wanted to say to the shy youth, "Don't thank me, thank you Howard." ”
But the professionalism is there, and he can only hold it.
In the Big Bang Theory, when Sheldon's sister Missy comes to see him, the three Howards take a fancy to her, and they fight for what they consider to be the right to date.
Rajesh drank and then went on a rampage, and chatted with Missy about the Book of the Three Kingdoms, the Book of the Unspeakable, saying that this was the great contribution of the Three Kingdoms to the world, so that Missy did not have to be polite.
Howard, as a Jew, was not to be left behind, and directly said that they invented circumcision, and also asked Missy not to be polite, with a 'am I proud' expression.
Now when he met a shy young man who really wanted to say thank you to Howard, the first image that flashed in Adam's mind was this, and he almost couldn't hold back.
It's so graphic.,The kind that comes with first-class sound effects......
"I see, I'll have someone from the plastic surgeon send me. ”
When Susan heard this, she shook her head.
In fact, Adam can do this job, but unless he is temporarily sent by Xue Ni to rotate on the plastic surgery side, he is really not good to interfere.
And deep down, Adam wasn't too interested in it.
It is said that doctors should be professional enough to do anything, but let Adam do this kind of surgery, like a rectal examination, the less the better.
"Today's patients are getting more and more reckless. ”
Susan called and said helplessly to Adam: "If you find out some specious medical information, you dare to do it yourself, don't think about it at all, if it's that simple, anyone can do it, why do we spend so much money and study for so long?"
"The ignorant are fearless. ”
Adam smiled: "On the contrary, the more you know, the more you will understand the awe, I believe that after this time, his awe will be maintained for a lifetime." ”
Not really.
I cut a few knives by myself, but the cut is not in shape, even if there is a plastic surgeon to repair it, but it is definitely different from the original.
If the plastic surgeon is not good and turns it into a broccoli, it will definitely be an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.
In the future, you have to hide from the toilet in a common place, for fear of being targeted, that taste......
"Dr. Lewis, there are patients waiting for you. ”
The nurse reminded of an elderly African-American man sitting on the edge of the hall.
"Got it. ”
Susan beckoned Adam to come over.
"Adam, you come to diagnose. ”
Susan motioned for Adam to come forward.
"Is that all there is in the morning?"
Adam took the ophthalmoscope and examined the patient.
"Yes, that's it when you wake up. ”
The African-American man nodded.
"Is there still a ghost when you look at things now?"
Adam asked, putting down his ophthalmoscope.
"Nope. ”
The African-American man shook his head.
"How many fingers are these?"
Adam gestured three fingers.
"Three. ”
"Have you ever had eye problems before?"
"Nope. ”
"Do you feel pain when you look at things, do you have a headache, you have a balance disorder, you have a bad smell in your mouth, you have white spots in front of your eyes, you have weakness in your limbs?"
Adam asked about many symptoms, but the African-American man shook his head.
"I suggest I get him a neurologist?"
Adam ruled out most of the options, suspecting a neurological problem, and couldn't help but look at Susan.
"Mr. Erwin, huh?"
Susan stood aside, glanced at the medical records, and said softly: "It takes 200 dollars to see a neurologist, and now you don't have any symptoms of discomfort, so I suggest you go back first and come back when you feel unwell." ”
"Just because I'm African?"
The African-American old man suddenly said, "You discriminate against me?"
"Nope. ”
Susan hurriedly said: "I just want to save you some money, I know you don't have health insurance......"
In the United States, there is a ward for each patient, a ward for the doctor, and a ward for the treatment of patients, and the privacy protection is better.
But that's for people with health insurance.
People who don't have medical insurance, it's a lot more casual, and it's nothing to get a quick treatment in the hall, and some hospitals don't admit such patients at all.
After all, in the United States, everything is business, and the hospital that saves lives is even more business.
Money is the best medical resources.
For example, many people like to donate money to big hospitals, and a donation is a large amount.
In many cases, in addition to gaining fame, they also have their own rigid needs.
I was not feeling well, and I couldn't check the problem no matter how many doctors I changed, so I made an appointment with a top doctor in a big hospital, but I had to wait in line for a few months.
After donating a large amount of money, he was hospitalized in the afternoon of the same day, and the top famous doctor treated him intimately, and the hidden cause was quickly found, and then the most suitable treatment plan was quickly promoted.
This time difference, many times is the distance between life and death, the specific process quantified by money, the hospital is very professional to calculate it for you in advance, you only need to pay money......
"If I weren't African-American, you wouldn't say that!"
The African-American old man said coldly.
"Dr. Lewis, why don't you arrange a neurological consultation for him, the cause, temporary diplopia?"
Adam chimed in.
"Okay. ”
Susan's eyes were full of helplessness, and she explained to the nurse and turned to leave.
"Remember to bill him. ”
Adam reminded the nurse in a low voice.
"I know. ”
The nurse gave a knowing look.
For this kind of dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know the hearts of good people, normal people will not like it.
You know, Susan's behavior is very unpopular in the hospital.
The hospital is open to make money, and it doesn't matter if you have symptoms or not, as long as you don't object, it wants you to do all the tests first.
The standard process of the doctor's diagnosis is also based on the theoretical support, and the examination list is prescribed as much as possible.
If you look at a neurologist, it's $200, which is definitely a lot of money for people who don't have health insurance.
Susan was kind enough to consider the other party, and the other party even opened her mouth to question her racism.
This is 1998, and in a decade or two, Susan will most likely be unlucky, and may even lose her job.
"Don't learn from me, you're making the right diagnosis. ”
Susan smiled wryly at Adam, who was following him.
"I know. ”
Adam nodded, "I know you know you have to do it." ”
A senior resident doesn't know what to do and what not to do?
No kidding.
"But I did it anyway. ”
Susan laughed at herself, "And it's not the first time, maybe I'll never change." ”
"You're a good doctor. ”
Adam praised sincerely.
Zhou Shuren said: Knowing the world but not the world is the kindest maturity.
Susan is obviously such a mature and kind doctor.
For the sake of people like the old African, Adam can't do it, and he doesn't want to do it, but it doesn't prevent Adam from admiring a good doctor like Susan.
