Section 28 Sky-high medical bills

Orthopedic ward of a hospital in city D.

A male doctor with an arrogant and indifferent face said to Shen's father and Shen's mother: "One bed, you owe medical bills." Hurry up and pay it, if you can't pay it today, stop the medicine immediately! ”

As he spoke, he took out a colorful bill from the pocket of his white coat and threw it on Shen's father's hospital bed with a flirtatious attitude.

"Huh? We have to pay medical bills again, didn't we just pay 40,000 yuan yesterday, and we spent it all in one night? Father Shen and Mother Shen grabbed the bill in disbelief and looked at it carefully with Father Shen.

On the bill, X-ray 3,000 yuan; ECG 2,000 yuan; $3,000 for blood test; $5,000 for HIV test?????? The various examinations alone cost nearly 30,000 yuan.

In addition, there are 5,000 yuan for the bed, 1,000 yuan for each of the on-stage expenses, 10,000 yuan for the bone-grafting fee, and a lot of various drug costs. There are also many names of things that Shen's father and mother have never heard of before, and they have never seen before.

In short, together, the 40,000 yuan paid by Shen's father and Shen's mother yesterday has long disappeared, and in the end, they owe the hospital nearly 1.23 million yuan.

"This, so expensive? It costs 3,000 yuan to check an X-ray, before-" Father Shen opened his mouth in fright and said.

"You also know what prices were before, what prices were before, what prices are now, and they are compared with before!" The male doctor reprimanded Father Shen with a look of disdain, and raised his head even higher.

"What about HIV testing? My old man has a broken bone, why should he be tested for AIDS? Mother Shen also looked at the male doctor in disbelief.

"It's a hospital regulation and it has to be checked! Who knows if you have AIDS or not, and it is better to check it out so that others can rest assured, otherwise who would dare to treat you and give you injections-" The male doctor looked at Shen's father and Shen's mother with some mockery.

Don't these guys know what a hospital does? If you don't kill them, do you want the doctors and nurses in the hospital to drink the northwest wind?

"Remember, the money owed to the hospital must be handed over today, or you will be kicked out of the drug. The hospital will also notify the court to seize your house and pay off the hospital debt after the sale! Also, you two-bedded, hurry up and raise medical expenses, if it's not enough, the end will be the same as them! ”

The male doctor finished in a gloomy voice, raised his nostrils, and did not look at anyone in the room, and as soon as he turned around, he stepped on his newly purchased designer leather shoes and walked away. Leave behind a room full of people with sad faces.

"This, this, where is this hospital, this is clearly a den of thieves! Ming robbed it! No, I can't stay in this hospital. I'm going home. Father Shen held down his heart, and his heart was pounding with fright since he saw the bill, and his blood pressure soared suddenly.

"No, the old man already owes so much money, you just can't help it. Also, you just put a plaster on your leg, if you don't continue to treat, if there is a good one, what do you want me to do? As she spoke, she choked up and cried.

"Don't, Juanjuan, don't cry. If we try to find a way, we will definitely get through this difficult time. Heyβ€”" Father Shen frowned, stroking his wife's gray hair in embarrassment and comforting him.

Since Feifei has lost her news, Shen's mother has often cried sadly, her hair is more than half white, and she seems to be dozens of years old. often wakes up in the middle of the night and cries, if it weren't for the care of Shen's father, who has an extremely strong personality, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on for a long time.

Now that Shen's father has broken his leg, if he can't take care of his leg earlier and get back up, this family will completely collapse!

After the sadness, Shen's father and Shen's mother had to face the reality and take the colorful bill to calculate the accounts carefully.

Before the end of his life, Shen's father worked as a financial director in a company founded by Jiangnan people, and his annual salary was still very high, and he could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. Shen's mother is a teacher, and her annual income is also very stable, so although the Shen family is not rich, they also have a well-off living standard. The family has no income pressure and lives happily.

But after the end of the world, the company opened by Jiangnan people collapsed, and Shen's father became unemployed. The local military and police government also inspected and harassed very seriously, and all industries withered, and few companies recruited people. Shen's father is old again, and he can't grab young people even if he has a job. I had no choice but to stay at home and eat my old book.

Since the end of the world, Shen's mother has been worried about Shen Feifei's safety, nervous, often makes mistakes at work, and can't do it anymore, and also accompanies Shen's father to be unemployed at home.

Fortunately, the Shen family used to have a rich background, and Shen's mother would be diligent and thrifty, and she had a small deposit of several million. Therefore, the old couple will not starve to death as soon as they lose their jobs.

The welfare measures set up by the government in the past have stopped after the end of the world, saying that it has lost the tax source of the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the government itself has difficulties in operating, and it is no longer able to make ends meet, and it can no longer pay any welfare for the people.

In the past six months, the Shen family has relied on these deposits to survive, but there has been no open source input.

However, after the end of the world, prices are getting higher and higher day by day, not to mention the speed of the rise. Now a small egg-sized potato can be sold for a dozen dollars, let alone anything else.

Shen's father and Shen's mother can't help but toss such prices even if they can live again. Gradually, those millions of deposits are about to bottom out.

If Shen's father hadn't broken his bones this time, the Shen family's life might have been able to support it for another month or two. But at this juncture, the damn plastic stool was broken. As a result, Shen's father had to be hospitalized.

You must know that even before the end of the world, ordinary people who have minor illnesses and disasters do not dare to enter the hospital for treatment easily.

That hospital is a bottomless gold-swallowing monster!

The doctors and nurses are butchers in big white knives, and the patients are lambs waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board!

A small cold to the hospital, may also be fooled by the doctor to go to various examinations to check back, for many days, prescribed a lot of medicine, spend thousands of oceans can not be cured.

If you get a little sick and have to be hospitalized, it's even worse.

A hospital stay costs tens of thousands, which is equivalent to a person's money saved for a year without eating or drinking. And you won't be able to escape their clutches until the hospital has emptied your pockets.

Moreover, the attitude of some doctors is still very arrogant, and misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis are common things. Just like the doctor just now, his nostrils are going to the sky.

After the end of the world, the medical expenses of this hospital are even more ridiculously high, and ordinary people are even more afraid to come in.

No one dares to come unless they have a last resort.

Just look at the deserted few patients in the hospital lobby.

However, the hospital can't drink the northwest wind, so it has strengthened the charge for patients who come to the hospital to see a doctor. What is this charging standard, that charging standard, only patients can't think of it, and there is nothing that their hospital doesn't dare to charge.

Today, the injured Shen's father crashed headlong into the net of the hospital, and could only obediently wait for them to be slaughtered and humiliated.
