Chapter 755: [755] Don’t think you can fool a doctor Chapter 755: [755] Don’t think you can fool a doctor “Alright, I’ll tell you now, so listen carefully. Her condition is very serious; she needs to go inside right away to lie down and receive oxygen. I’ll find a bed for her and arrange for tests. If there’s a bed available in the ward, she’ll be admitted to the hospital immediately,” Doctor Lin said without wasting any more words with the patient’s family.
After hearing this, Father Lili was anxious and grabbed the doctor’s hand, “We’re not staying in the hospital. Just prescribe some anti-nausea medication so she can stop vomiting and go back to school. That’ll be enough.”
“This illness didn’t just crop up overnight. What are you planning to do by bringing her to the hospital?” Doctor Lin confronted the family member.
This guy, did he think he could fool a doctor?
Heart valve disease, non-acute myocardial infarction, is not sudden; it worsens over time. The girl’s condition is serious, and she very likely has been treated in other hospitals before. The family must know what the patient is suffering from, unless the family never allows the patient to get tested. As a minor, the patient could only get tested with the family’s consent.
Exposed by the doctor, Father Lili was infuriated with embarrassment, “It’s all you doctors who are saying this, one moment you say it’s not serious, the next it’s serious. What am I supposed to do?”
“I’m just going to ask you this, she might die if she’s not hospitalized, will you let her stay in the hospital?” Doctor Lin said.
Father Lili’s lips quivered, “I, I need to call home and ask.”
Call home? Isn’t he her father?
“How do I know your hospital isn’t just trying to scam me, staying in the hospital costs money,” Father Lili cursed as he prepared to make a call.
The doctors at Guoxie Association Hospital don’t need to scam patients to admit them. Clearly, this patient’s family member doesn’t want to treat their daughter.
The cruelest things in the world happen in hospitals every day. The seeming apathy of medical staff is often because they have seen too much and are left with nothing to say. When patients want to be treated and survive, but their families are unwilling to pay, and if the patients themselves cannot afford the treatment, most of them ultimately pass away untreated. Some family members even turn around and blame the doctors. This Father Lili doesn’t seem to be an exception, which is why he insisted on claiming that the doctors here said his daughter’s condition wasn’t serious.
Seeing that the child’s father was unreliable, Xie Wanying whispered into the girl’s ear, “Where’s your mother?”
“My mother is dead,” Ma Yunli answered the doctor with difficulty.
Father Lili, hearing this, turned around and glared at his daughter, saying to the two doctors, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, she has a mother.”
One claims she has no mother, the other insists his daughter has a mother.
“Really, I’ll have her mother come over,” Father Lili said as he called his wife.
The situation was odd. Xie Wanying continued to whisper close to the girl’s ear, “You can tell me what’s going on.”
Ma Yunli turned her head and looked at the doctor with effort, her eyes filled with a touch of disbelief, not trusting that someone actually seemed to be willing to help her proactively. Once other people found out this man was her father, they all became too scared to involve themselves with her matters.
“It’s okay, you can tell me, I won’t spread it around,” Xie Wanying assured the girl.
“Step-mother,” Ma Yunli uttered these two words with difficulty, grasping the fabric of her chest, her body trembling slightly.
While supporting the girl, Xie Wanying quietly pulled back the school uniform on the girl’s back and, with the help of the sunlight, she saw two bruises on the patient’s back. Her brows furrowed tightly. Turning back, she softly called out, “Teacher Lin.”
