Chapter 673 - American Patient (Subscription Requested)
"Unless you're Bill Gates, you're only one serious illness away from bankruptcy!"
"Although this is an exaggeration, it is also a fact, especially for the middle class in the United States. ”
"The United States has relatively complete medical insurance, serious illness insurance, but in addition to a few private high-cost medical insurance, most medical insurance has strict regulations on treatment, drugs used, hospitals, and even attending doctors. ”
"If the condition is serious and complicated, go to a private hospital for a famous doctor for treatment, or even consultation, which needs to bear the cost of your own expenses, which is staggering. ”
"And not all Americans have health insurance. There are also many Americans who have health insurance, and sometimes they are in the gap period of insurance due to unemployment or various reasons. ”
"Once these people get seriously ill, they can only wait for death, or go bankrupt due to illness. ”
"In addition to the issue of medical expenses, there is another important reason. ”
Sloefel looked at Lin Jie and said solemnly: "Mr. Lin Jie, I have studied it carefully, and your medical skills can be said to be comparable to Dr. Sistilda, Dr. Curran, Dr. Dadoff and others in the United States. ”
"These are the top medical experts in neurosurgery, general surgery, and eye surgery in the United States. ”
"These people's schedules can be said to be full, and in addition to weekend breaks, they often take a vacation or something. Unless the patient has a special status, and wants to cut the queue to ask them for treatment, or let them give up their rest to go to the clinic, it is not just money that can be done. ”
"So, Mr. Lin Jie, my plan is to first introduce some middle-class seriously ill patients to China, and ask you to help treat them. First, the treatment effect is guaranteed, and secondly, the medical cost will be much less than in the United States. ”
At this moment, Shen Lanruo's voice sounded in Lin Jie's mind: "Ajie, the medical costs in the United States are indeed very high, let me give you a few figures for reference." ”
"Mayo Clinic, routine liver transplant surgery, about $220,000. Conventional heart transplants, about $180,000, and conventional kidney transplants, about $100,000. ”
"The reason why the word 'routine' is added means that the patient's body has no special conditions, and the operation process is going well, but if there are some unexpected circumstances, the cost of the operation suddenly doubles, or even several times, which is a normal thing. ”
"Applejack, what you did at the hospital, that girl's facial hemangioma surgery, is a composite operation, according to the Mayo Clinic's surgical cost accounting method, it will not be less than 200,000 US dollars. ”
These numbers made Lin Jie a little dumbfounded.
Compared with the cost of treatment in China, the difference between this cost standard and the cost of treatment in China is at least.
Just listen to Sloefel continue: "After Mr. Lin Jie's reputation spreads in the United States, it is natural that there will be a steady stream of American patients who come to China Anlin Hospital for treatment because of medical expenses and other reasons. ”
Making money from foreigners is naturally what Lin Jie likes to see, and he can also quickly open up the reputation of Anlin Hospital.
"Your suggestion, Mr. Sloel, sounds wonderful. I have a question, though. ”
Lin Jie asked softly: "In the impression of the vast majority of Americans, China is a backward country, especially in terms of medical technology. ”
"It can be said that many Chinese go to the United States for medical treatment every year. ”
"How do you convince your countrymen to trust in my medical skills? This is a matter of their own lives, and they will not come to China so easily to take risks. ”
Sloefel smiled confidently, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "It is naturally not easy to eliminate a person's prejudice, and this is where my value lies." ”
"Mr. Lin Jie, I have been engaged in medical device sales for a long time, and because of my work, I have met doctors in many hospitals in the United States. ”
"When I was in China, I spent a lot of my free time introducing patients to hospitals and helping to make appointments with doctors. In this field, my reputation and credit are quite good. ”
Looking at Sloefel's confident face, Lin Jie was a little stunned.
It turns out that this guy is a medical trust, intermediary and scalper in the United States, and he wants to expand his international business.
Sloefel said without hesitation: "Mr. Lin Jie, I have some doctor resources in my hands, but frankly speaking, their level is there, but the level is still a little low, and they can only deal with some not very serious and urgent diseases. ”
He said with great regret: "Mr. Lin Jie, your medical skills are high, but your medical qualifications are not recognized in the United States. ”
"Otherwise......"
Sloefel sighed regretfully.
He also had the intention of letting Lin Jie go to the United States to be a black market doctor.
But after investigating Lin Jie's current situation, he immediately dispelled this unreliable idea, can a famous doctor who is widely recognized in China take an adventure in the United States?
However, Sloefel thought about it, and this was also an opportunity.
If Lin Jie can come to the United States to practice medicine openly, there will be nothing for him.
Lin Jie's medical skills are genuine.
In the early stage, it was said that it would take a lot of effort to move patients to come to China for medical treatment, but Sloefel was confident that with the credibility he had accumulated over the years, plus some guarantees and discounts, someone would be tempted.
As long as there is the first one and two, and then word of mouth, the follow-up patients will be endless.
"Mr. Sloel, I still need to think about this matter, and I can't give you a clear answer for the time being. Lin Jie finally gave a vague answer.
Sloefel chuckled softly, "This is indeed a decision that needs to be seriously considered. ”
"Mr. Lin Jie, please believe that this is definitely a proposal that benefits both sides......"
After dinner, Sloefel took his leave and went back to the hotel.
Lin Jie stayed and continued to discuss the matter with An Weize and An Kexin.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle An, Kexin, what do you think about this matter?"
An Kexin pondered for a moment and took the lead in saying, "Applejack, I think we can agree to this." ”
"Patients who come from abroad for medical treatment are also patients. ”
"And they are all self-paying, and they don't need domestic medical insurance reimbursement, which can be regarded as earning foreign exchange for the country." We can also use discriminatory pricing to overcharge them for their medical expenses. ”
She grinned and continued, "There is also the issue of external publicity. ”
"Phoenix Mountain Hospital, to which the Luo family belongs, claims to hire medical experts from all over the world, so that Chinese people can see a doctor at their doorstep. As for us, Americans have come all the way to us for medical treatment. ”
"Such an obvious contrast, the level of the hospital, outsiders are judged. ”
"Dad, did you say?"
An Weize shook his head gently, his face turned pale, and he criticized: "Kexin, don't always weigh the interests of the hospital. ”
"You have to remember that Applejack is the heart of the hospital, and only what is good for Applejack is what is good for the hospital. ”
He turned his gaze to Lin Jie and said gently: "Ajie, I understand your thoughts, that is, you want to let the development of Anlin Hospital enter a virtuous cycle of development in three or five years. ”
"That's when you can find the time and energy to focus on scientific research and work towards the Nobel Prize in Physiology. ”
"The rehabilitation center for disabled veterans in cooperation with the military, the sports injury research center in cooperation with Ye Peihua, and the orientation medical class in cooperation with Binhai University, plus the training work you planned before, after Anlin Hospital is put into operation, through various methods such as large classes, teaching surgeries, and special reports......"
An Weize said in a deep voice: "All these things need your support. ”
"The patients introduced by Sloefel in the early stage, it is foreseeable that most of them must be some patients who are seriously ill and difficult, and these patients may only be able to be treated with confidence. ”
"Applejack, you've done enough for the hospital, you need to take it easy. ”
He admonished, "A lot of things are too fast, Applejack, you don't need to be in a hurry. Although the hospital takes you as the core, it is not only you, but also hundreds of colleagues who work with you, they can also contribute some strength, and many things do not need you to fight alone. ”
"Applejack, I'd like to see you and Kexin together for a long time, understand?"
As soon as he said this, Lin Jie was a little moved and realized the feeling of being really cared for.
An Kexin's face turned pale for a moment, and she said in a hurry: "Ajie, Ajie, I don't have any other ideas, I just ...... I just ......"
Lin Jie reached out and pinched her nose, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, don't worry that I will think too much." ”
"Actually, Kexin, you're right. ”
He analyzed: "It can be predicted that even if I and Anlin Hospital are well-known in the United States, the number of American patients who come to see the doctor is limited. ”
"And for patients from the United States, we can first screen through the medical records, and for those who are mild and don't need my help, they are naturally welcome as much as they want. ”
"For patients who need my help, they will be arranged according to my work schedule, and those who can be arranged will be accepted, and those who cannot be arranged will be rejected. ”
"It doesn't add much to my workload. ”
Lin Jie said with a smile: "Such a small group of Americans can not only bring a relatively good income to Anlin Hospital, but also bring a good reputation, I think Sloel's suggestion is feasible." ”
He said proudly: "The development goal of Anlin Hospital is an internationally renowned hospital. Since it is internationally renowned, it has to accept patients from all over the world. ”
"From the very beginning, there were American patients sent to the door, how could you refuse such a good thing. ”
"Kexin, have a good talk with that Mr. Sloefel, huh...... Through him, I will find out how high the medical price is for American patients. ”
