Protagonist:
Fang Ziye
"Tian Yao, explain to Bed 11's family, I can understand their family circumstances are poor."
"Working voluntarily, waiving all surgical operation fees is the limit of what I can do; having me pay to work is impossible."
"This kind of thing, he can only go find Hospital Leadership or seek donations." As he exited the operating room, Fang Ziye received a call from his student Tian Yao.
Tian Yao was on duty, relaying to Fang Ziye that Bed 11's family couldn't scrape together this much money for the moment, mainly because the child's previous treatment costs had already nearly emptied everything they had, and they'd borrowed from everyone they could!
But Fang Ziye also couldn't "put down his bottom line" because of this; Fang Ziye's current wealth could help one person easily, but once this opening was made, even a thousand Fang Ziyes' family backgrounds couldn't withstand the turmoil!
Fang Ziye had almost never encountered such a person, but the family seemingly really did ask Tian Yao, hoping Fang Ziye would step in to help...
Tian Yao took a deep breath, replying: "Okay, Master."
"But I think, later we should still have Teacher Qin or Big Brother Li Nuo come over."
"The patient's family is now dead set, unless Master you personally speak up, otherwise he still believes true human feeling exists in this world! ~"
Fang Ziye's voice was slightly annoyed: "What's this 'true human feeling exists in this world'?"
"Moral kidnapping?"
"Forget it, I'll call Teacher Luo first, I'm personally coming to the ward!"
This kind of 'thick-skinned' person, Tian Yao probably couldn't handle, not because Tian Yao's capability was lacking, but because his 'authority' wasn't enough.
Fang Ziye was originally planning to get off work early to accompany his family, after hanging up he notified Luo Tingzhu and rushed straight to the department.
Bed 11's family probably also felt their behavior wasn't quite proper, so they were "resting" in the Inpatient General Office!
Tian Yao was on duty, bringing Fang Ziye to push open the door, then explained: "Master, I have several new admissions to process here, been pestered by Bed 11's family the whole time..."
The duty doctor's task in the ward is to handle new admission procedures. Tian Yao was also afraid Fang Ziye would misunderstand and think he wanted to slack off.
"You go on! ~" Fang Ziye walked into the Inpatient General Office.
The visitors were a middle-aged man in his forties and an old man nearing seventy, both the old man and the middle-aged man were very thin.
As Fang Ziye entered, the middle-aged man and his father nearly knelt down right in front of Fang Ziye!
"Professor Fang, you are a compassionate Bodhisattva, you must save my grandson." The old man said weeping.
Fang Ziye's grip was strong, forcibly helping both thin-framed people up: "Let's discuss the matter, don't play these empty formalities! ~"
"If you insist on this, I'll have the nurses and family members come over to serve as witnesses! ~"
If their kneeling got filmed, Fang Ziye would be drowned in saliva. Even though Fang Ziye is now an Associate Professor, Deputy Chief Physician.
Today's online environment, resentment toward the two professions of doctors and teachers is extremely high.
Fang Ziye doesn't deny that within these two massive groups, there indeed exist some "weirdos" and 'worms', one rat turd spoils a pot of congee. But taking things out of context when something happens is also something Fang Ziye can't stand.
"Professor Fang, I really have no way out either."
"Truth is, for the child, front and back I've already spent seven or eight hundred thousand. We're all rural people, family savings all used up, borrowed from relatives and friends wherever we could..."
"Did online fundraising before, now really can't think of any solution! ~"
"Professor Fang, please do a good deed, help our family..."
Fang Ziye stepped back a few paces, leaving the office door wide open, and countered: "I did help? How did I not help?"
"I've already, within my scope of authority, gotten you anesthesia fees and surgery fees fully waived, hospitalization fees have reimbursement, but material fees those aren't my thing, they're the instrument company's finance."
"Thirty-five thousand, this isn't something I can decide! ~"
The middle-aged man wanted to close the door, outside the door the sensible student Tian Yao had called over two nurses, but Fang Ziye said: "No need to close the door, whatever we have to say let's open the skylight and speak directly."
The old man wiped tears while saying: "Professor Fang, you're a benefactor, if you want to help there's definitely over a hundred ways."
"If it really won't work, count it as our family lending to you."
"We'll write an IOU, okay?"
"Mainly the child's father and mother aren't in good health either, still have to support me this old man, recent years, also have to take care of Xiao Tong..."
Fang Ziye directly shook his head: "No."
"No financial relationship arising between doctor and patient is legal regulation, not us doctors refusing your money as some one-sided relationship."
"Other patients' final costs come down to basically sixty or seventy thousand."
"Your medical expenses are only half of theirs, this is the limit within my scope of authority."
"This you need to go find a way..."
The middle-aged man said: "Professor Fang, we really can't think of a way."
"Right now on hand we only have these five thousand... or, you do the surgery first, we'll pay back later?"
Fang Ziye said: "Isn't that the same? The fees you don't pay I'd have to cover, the Hospital can't owe the Medical Company money."
"If you really can't think of a way, for your consideration, best process discharge as soon as possible! ~"
"This can also save a sum of expenses." Fang Ziye's voice was stern.
The middle-aged man raised his head: "Professor Fang, my son is still young! He's only in his teens!"
"What's he to do if he doesn't have surgery?"
"Can it be that just because there's no money we can only watch closely as he dies? He's a human life after all! ~"
When a person reaches despair, when pushed to a near dead end, any words, any face can be discarded.
"You just yield a little, and he lives."
"Even kittens and puppies..." the middle-aged man said.
Fang Ziye gave a suggestion: "I don't like kittens and puppies, there are plenty of people in this world kinder than me, you can try continuing to fundraise online..."
"Or you could go find the local Medical Insurance Bureau and have them make a special exception, promising that all your treatment costs will be fully reimbursed! ~"
The middle-aged man said, "Professor Fang, we've already done fundraising many times, posted short videos too, but no one pays us any attention."
"As for the Medical Insurance Bureau and such, we're just ordinary common people — where would we even find access to them?"
Fang Ziye let out a cold snort: "So you've come to pressure me, then?"
"Seeing I'm young, seeing I'm easy to bully, you come to bully me?"
"On what grounds?"
"Am I a soft persimmon in your eyes?"
"Whether to discharge or not is your freedom, but if you want the surgery done, paying the surgical fees within a certain limit is also your obligation."
"Either discharge, or raise the money — it's that simple a matter! ~"
The middle-aged man cursed: "Professor Fang, are you really so heartless as to watch my son go die?"
"He's a life!!! He's a person!"
Fang Ziye said, "I've thought of ways — within the scope of my authority, I've already come up with very many solutions for him."
"Medical fees, hospitalization fees, anesthesia fees — basically none of it has been collected."
"We're all doing obligatory labor!"
"Or, you go find that company and have them take pity on you, waive your material fees."
"We even gave you the phone number!"
The middle-aged man said, "The person who answers the phone at the company said that every day at least several dozen people call them... they're unwilling..."
Fang Ziye replied, "So you see, everyone has their own difficulties."
"The company is unwilling, you're told to go back to the local Medical Insurance Bureau and you say you can't reach them, you're told to borrow money and you say..."
"In the end, is it discharge or not."
The middle-aged man bluntly tore away the last fig leaf: "Professor Fang, you're so rich, your salary is so high, my child's surgery wouldn't even use up one month of your salary! ~"
"What's wrong with you lending me a bit?"
Fang Ziye said, "The bank has far more money than me — why don't you go borrow from them?"
"If you think my high salary is some kind of mistake, then tomorrow you go do the surgery! ~ You come take this salary!"
"It's just that simple."
"Or if you think my income sources are improper, you can even go sue me — our hospital has a Discipline Inspection Commission!!! Hubei Province also has Discipline Inspection departments."
"Now I'm asking you the most critical question — is this surgery happening or not?"
