Chapter 308 Are you discriminating against me?

"Thank you."

The shy young man sincerely thanks.

"You're welcome."

Adam smiled and closed the door of the ward, the smile in his eyes was almost overflowing.

He really wanted to say to the shy young man: "Don't thank me, thank you Howard."

But his professionalism was left there, so he could only hold back.

In The Big Bang Theory, when Sheldon's sister Missy came to see him, the three of Howard all fell in love with her. In order to fight for what they thought was their right to date, they confronted each other and showed great hospitality.

Rajesh got drunk after drinking, and chatted with Missy about the Three Kingdoms, the indescribable book, saying that this is the great contribution of the Three Kingdoms to the world, so Missy is welcome.

As a Jew, Howard didn't want to be left behind. He directly said that they invented circumcision, and asked Missy to be polite, with an expression of "Am I proud?"

Now meeting the shy young man who really wanted to say thank you to Howard and the others, this was the first image that flashed in Adam's mind, and he almost couldn't hold it back.

It's so visually appealing, with first-class sound effects...

"I see, I'll let the plastic surgery side send someone over."

When Susan heard this, she also shook her head.

In fact, Adam is also capable of this job, but unless he is temporarily sent by Xue Ni to the plastic surgery department for a rotation, it is really difficult for him to intervene.

And deep down, Adam wasn't too interested in the job either.

It is said that doctors should be professional enough to avoid anything taboo, but letting Adam do this kind of operation, like rectal examination, should be done as little as possible.

"Patients are getting more and more reckless now."

Susan made a phone call, and said helplessly to Adam: "If you find some plausible medical information, you dare to do it yourself. You don't even think about it. If it's that simple, anyone can do it. Why do we spend so much money and take such a long time?" Time to study?"

"The ignorant are fearless."

Adam smiled and said: "On the contrary, the more you know, the more you will understand the awe. I believe that after this time, his awe will definitely remain for a lifetime."

Not really.

I made a few cuts by myself, and the cuts were not in shape. Even if a plastic surgeon repaired it, it would definitely be different from the original.

If the plastic surgeon is not good enough to make a broccoli, it will definitely be an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

From now on, when going to the toilet in common places, you will have to dodge everything, for fear of being spotted by others, that feeling...

"Doctor Lewis, there is a patient waiting for you."

The nurse pointed to an old African-American man sitting by the hall and reminded him.

"understood."

Susan greeted Adam and walked over.

"Adam, you come to diagnose."

Susan motioned for Adam to come forward.

"Is it like this in the morning?"

Adam examined the patient with an ophthalmoscope.

"Yes, it's like that when you wake up."

The African-American man nodded.

"Do you still have double images when you see things now?"

Adam asked, putting down his ophthalmoscope.

"No."

The African-American old man shook his head.

"How many fingers are these?"

Adam gestured with three fingers.

"Three."

"Have you ever had problems with your eyes before?"

"No."

"Pain when seeing double images? Headache? Loss of balance? Odor in mouth? White spots in front of eyes? Weakness in limbs?"

Adam asked about many symptoms in a row, but the African-American old man shook his head.

"May I suggest seeing him with a neurologist?"

Adam ruled out most of the options, suspecting that it was a neurological problem, so he couldn't help looking at Susan.

"Mr. Erwin?"

Susan stood aside, glanced at the medical records, and said warmly: "It costs 200 dollars to see a neurologist. Now you don't have any symptoms of discomfort, so I suggest you go back first and come back when you feel uncomfortable."

"Just because I'm African-American?"

The African-American old man suddenly said, "Are you discriminating against me?"

"Do not."

Susan quickly said: "I just want to save you some money, I know you don't have medical insurance..."

Hospitals in the United States have a patient in a ward, a doctor in a ward, and a ward for treating patients. Privacy protection is better.

But that's for people with health insurance.

People without medical insurance can do as they please. Quick treatment in the lobby is nothing. Some hospitals don’t admit such patients at all.

After all, in the United States, everything is a business, and hospitals that save lives and heal the wounded are even more big business.

Money is the only way to get the best medical resources.

For example, many people like to donate money to large hospitals, and a donation is a large sum.

In many cases, in addition to gaining fame, they also have rigid needs.

I feel unwell, and no matter how many doctors I have changed, I can't find out the problem. I make an appointment with a top doctor in a big hospital, but the queue will be several months later.

And after donating a large sum of money, he could be hospitalized in the afternoon, and the top famous doctors treated him attentively, the hidden cause was quickly found out, and the most suitable treatment plan was quickly advanced.

This time difference is often the distance between life and death. The specific process of quantifying it with money, the hospital is very professional and will calculate it for you in advance. You only need to pay the money...

"You wouldn't say that if I wasn't black!"

The African-American old man said coldly.

"Dr. Lewis, why don't you arrange a neurological consultation for him, the cause, temporary diplopia?"

Adam chimed in.

"Ok."

Susan's eyes were full of helplessness, she told the nurse, turned around and left.

"Remember to bill him."

Adam reminded the nurse in a low voice.

"I know."

The nurse gave her a knowing look.

Normal people would not like this kind of dog-biting Lu Dongbin's ignorance of good intentions.

You know, Susan's behavior is very unwelcome by the hospital.

The purpose of opening the hospital is to make money. Regardless of whether you have symptoms or not, as long as you don't object, it can't wait to let you go through all the tests first.

The standard process of doctor diagnosis is also based on theoretical support, and as many checklists as possible are issued.

Look at a neurologist, it's $200, definitely a lot of money for someone without health insurance.

Susan kindly considered for the other party, but the other party even questioned her about racial discrimination.

This is 1998. After 20 years, Susan will probably still be unlucky, and may even lose her job.

"Don't learn from me, your diagnosis is correct."

Susan smiled wryly at Adam who was following up.

"I know."

Adam nodded: "I also know you know what to do."

Would a senior resident doctor not know what to do and what not to do?

Do not make jokes.

"But I did it anyway."

Susan laughed at herself: "And it's not the first time, maybe I can never change."

"You are a good doctor."

Adam sincerely praised.

Zhou Shuren said: Knowing the world but not the world is the kindest maturity.

Susan is obviously such a mature and kind doctor.

For people like the African-American elderly, Adam couldn't do it, and he was unwilling to do it, but it didn't stop Adam from admiring a good doctor like Susan.
