Chapter 1336: with translation of chapter title

"You are Xiao Fen's boyfriend, aren't you?" The peasant woman's tears welled up, she clung desperately to the young man's clothes. Dirt filled the crevices of her nails, grimy black. The nail beds were somewhat white; she gripped with all her strength, as if clutching the last lifeline straw, refusing to let go no matter what.

"What a lousy boyfriend, just like that, could I even take a liking to her?" The young man shouted, his face showing indifference and disgust, "Let go quickly, or I won't be polite."

Child...

"Who the hell is your child!" The young man grabbed the peasant woman's hand, yanked hard, and her clothes ripped with a "zzip" sound.

"You damned well ruined my clothes!" The young man grew even angrier; Zheng Ren hurried over, stepping sideways to block between them.

"This is a hospital, keep your voice down." Zheng Ren looked at the young man and said calmly.

"She tore my clothes; I should at least get compensation."

"Whether you pay or not, I don't care; keep your voice down and don't disturb other patients. If you have a problem, you can call the police." Zheng Ren took a half-step forward; the young man felt his breathing tighten, and he instinctively stepped back.

"Don't make a loud fuss here." Zheng Ren said in a low voice.

The young man felt like a small beast, sensing an irresistible force; his nature chose to submit.

Yet he felt he couldn't lose face, so he stepped back a few more steps resentfully, pointing his finger at Zheng Ren, wanting to utter a couple harsh words to regain some dignity.

Zheng Ren, auntie

The peasant woman had already panicked, she glanced nervously at the young man who had walked away swearing, tears pattering down.

Sigh, these are several situations Zheng Ren can't stand.

First, let's talk about the matter; over there they're still eager to go into Shou Bing.

"Auntie, don't cry first, let's discuss the matter and see if we can resolve it." Zheng Ren hurried to comfort: "No matter what pitfalls, we can get past them; don't be afraid."

It seemed the light, airy words held some kind of comforting power; the farm woman wiped her tears and said, "Child, you are a good person."

"Let's talk about the matter, see if we can resolve it." Zheng Ren muttered inwardly, whether he was a good person or not didn't matter; at this moment saving lives was most important. The good‑person card of disheveled hair is utterly useless.

Imperial Capital appears, along with "my daughter" etc.

Quan Xiaocao appears, along with Zheng Ren and the patient's family.

"I rushed over to see my daughter really can't make it. Doctor, you said a perfectly fine person, how can you just say she's not okay and that's it?"

"Are you the patient's mother?" Zheng Ren confirmed for the last time.

"Mm." The peasant woman nodded, tears splashing.

Zheng Ren and Xiao Cao appear.

Teacher Zheng, the patient has already established a Vein channel, I estimate need emergency Shou Bing, this is not preparing to report the condition to Teacher Feng? Quan Xiaocao said.

Auntie, please don't rush. Zheng Ren soothed: "We need to seize the time to do the Shou Bing."

The doctor told me it will cost hundreds of thousands of Yuan. The peasant woman said somewhat flustered; Zheng Ren could feel her soul seemed to have flown away, her whole person also fell into a state of confusion.

You said? How many hundreds of thousands? Zheng Ren asked quietly.

Not much money, I said the Shou Bing fee should be one to two ten-thousands of Yuan. Quan Xiaocao said helplessly.

This is only the Shou Bing fee; she didn't say much more, and almost only in the most frugal case would the cost be one or two ten-thousands.

Zheng Ren let out a sigh, feeling somewhat helpless.

However, the patient's mother is present, which is the best news. Having family around, they seem very concerned, which is definitely better than having only an unreliable boyfriend.

Auntie, please don't rush. Xiao Cao, help the auntie to the ward to sit awhile. Zheng Ren said.

Quan Xiaocao acknowledged, helping the patient's mother to the side.

Zheng Ren took out his phone, thought briefly, and called Su Yun.

There is an emergency patient here; I want to do a livestream via Xinglin Yuan. Zheng Ren said directly.

Boss, is this Sister Lin's patient? Su Yun actually also knew about this.

"En, help me contact him." Zheng Ren tossed the matter to Su Yun, not waiting for his reply before hanging up.

Arriving at the office, Feng Jianguo had just finished looking at the images; seeing Zheng Ren enter, he quickly stood up, smiling and asked: "Zheng Lao Ban, do you have time today? I thought after Mei Ha'er's post-op you'd be busy for a few days."

It's fine, this isn't a friend's call coming to help look. Zheng Ren said: "It's a patient with intestinal rupture after liposuction, the family has no money, I'm figuring out what to do."

Zheng Lao Ban. Feng Jianguo seemed to have something to say, but hesitated a moment and then fell silent.

Brother Feng, just speak up if you have something; no need to be so polite. Zheng Ren said.

Zheng Lao Ban, there are too many such cases clinically. Feng Jianguo sighed, saying: "I always feel that your livestreaming, especially the frequent emergency Shou Bing livestreams, is not a good thing."

Zheng Ren knew, these were words spoken from the heart.

The words were very direct, somewhat harsh, but the factual truth is just that.

When there's no money for medical treatment, people usually apply to the hospital for a fund allocation. But each year there are too many such patients, and the hospital cannot possibly care for all of them.

Normally, when encountering such patients, the Shou Bing fee is shared by the department. If they go to the ICU, only basic medication can be guaranteed. Whether the patient can survive infectious shock then depends on fate.

Money is not omnipotent.

But that old saying is correct—having no money is absolutely impossible.

Zheng Ren gave a bitter smile, wanting to explain a sentence, but for a moment didn't know where to start.

I am just a small doctor; doing what I can is enough.

Anything more, I cannot think of nor accomplish.

Feng Jianguo saw Zheng Ren's face looking somewhat grim, patted his shoulder, and also sighed.

This patient's condition is not complicated; perhaps the cause of onset is somewhat unusual, but the overall condition is easy to judge, treatment is also simple, just intestinal repair.

The focus is on post-op anti-infection and anti-shock treatment.

First do the emergency Shou Bing; if you have a way on your end, we can talk after the post-op. Feng Jianguo said quietly.

After a long time in clinical work, seeing many such things, people gradually become numb.

This was originally not something doctors and nurses should do.

If society is a large machine, and each does their own part well, the machine will run smoothly. However, for such patients, trying to find who should be responsible is a myriad of threads; one really doesn't know how to put it.

Just as he was hesitating, Lin Ge walked in.

Zheng Lao Ban, you're here. I was just about to go to the department to find you, but after getting Doctor Su's call, I came over. Lin Ge said with a chuckle.
