From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 56 Dream of being a champion, as a security guard

A quarter of an hour later, the DR film image came from the radiology department. Zhang Zifan frowned as he looked at the interrupted shadow of the soft tissue of the Achilles tendon.

Combined with the obvious local tenderness during the physical examination and the loss of foot plantar flexion, Zhang Zifan had a general judgment, and he asked, "Mr. Li, have you ever suffered any old injuries?"

Li Jingwang sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, doctor, I used to do sports. Then my Achilles tendon was ruptured and I had to retire. However, the doctor who performed the surgery at that time said that although I could no longer train, it was normal." Life is okay, right?"

If it is a perfect Achilles tendon repair, in fact, the prognosis can still restore a certain amount of exercise ability.

For example, if NBA stars worth millions or tens of millions of dollars suffer a ruptured Achilles tendon, they will receive the best surgery and rehabilitation training in the United States, and eventually they can return to the game.

Although the performance will be greatly reduced, it is still very possible to maintain [-]% to [-]% combat power.

But obviously, the quality of Li Jingwang's surgery was not that high, leaving serious sequelae.

In cases of such poor repairs, the Achilles tendon stump tends to form a scar connection, and the Achilles tendon recovers poorly and is prone to re-rupture.

"May I ask, what is your latest job?" Zhang Zifan asked with some uncertainty.

"Carrying planks, what's the matter?" Li Jingwang scratched his head.

Zhang Zifan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It is definitely forbidden to carry heavy objects! What kind of normal life is this? When you exert too much force, the triceps calf muscle suddenly contracts violently, which will tear the Achilles tendon!"

"But for someone like me who has no academic qualifications or skills, working hard is a normal life!" Li Jingwang said as a matter of course.

Zhang Zifan opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute for a while.

Indeed, this is the daily life of the working people!

Shaking his head, Zhang Zifan said, "Then I will tell the truth. After physical examination, imaging examination, and your past history, I can basically judge that your repaired Achilles tendon has ruptured again, and you need immediate surgery."

Hearing the word surgery, Li Jingwang's pupils shrank, "Doctor, can I not have surgery? I don't have that much money, and the effect of the surgery three years ago was very poor, otherwise I wouldn't have to retire..."

"There is indeed a conservative treatment plan...but your situation is not suitable..." Zhang Zifan shook his head.

Li Jingwang's Achilles tendon had ruptured once, and according to his description, the repair at that time should have left many scars and adhesions, so the lesion was extremely difficult to treat.

"In short, my opinion is that no matter whether you go to a big hospital for treatment or in our place, the operation should be performed as soon as possible. As for the cost, it will cost about 2 yuan." Zhang Zifan gave his own suggestion.

"Twenty thousand!"

To be honest, the price was much lower than Li Jingwang expected, but he still didn't have that much money.

Zhang Zifan shook his head and said, "That's the total cost of going to a large hospital for inpatient surgery plus rehabilitation treatment. If the surgery is performed in our outpatient department, the cost is about 1 yuan."

Li Jingwang did the math, and the money he had saved scattered over the past three years seemed to be barely enough for the surgery fee. He said, "Wait, I'll call home!"

Li Jingwang said he was calling at home, but in fact he was calling his cousin who was a carpenter.

He hoped to borrow some money from his cousin. After all, after the operation, he would definitely not be able to work for a long time, and he had to spend money on food and drink.

However, his cousin rejected him outright: "Awang, when I brought you to the big city to work, it was because you were in good physical shape and could work. But who knew that your special mother-in-law had a silver-like pewter gun head? I have to work hard and delay the construction schedule. The foreman has scolded me several times!"

Li Jingwang quickly said: "Uncle, it's not that I don't work, it's that my foot injury happened again. When it's cured, I can work a few more jobs and pay you back the money!"

The other end of the phone replied: "Injury, injury, where are there so many injuries? I think you haven't let go of your dream of being a champion, and you are giving me all the bells and whistles all day long. Anyway, you'd better come back to work early, otherwise this project The money was deducted by the foreman, don't say uncle, I won't help you talk, just like that, I hang up!"

Li Jingwang hung up the phone and sighed. If his cousin refused to borrow money, he really had no choice.

As for the parents who are far away in their hometown, it’s fine if they are not filial. Li Jingwang really has no face to ask for money.

Seeing the patient returning to the consultation room with a slumped face, Zhang Zifan probably guessed what was going on.

If it was just a rupture of the Achilles tendon, it would not need to spend so much money, but Li Jingwang's situation is very complicated. He may need a tendon transplant, and the cost will naturally rise. The operation fee of 1 yuan is already the minimum standard.

Of course, Zhang Zifan can also choose to treat him for free, but with the current anti-risk capabilities of the outpatient department, this opening cannot be opened yet.

The labor cost, equipment cost, and consumable cost of an operation, including the subsequent drug cost, are all very expensive. If Li Jingwang is treated for free today, what about Wang Jingwang tomorrow and Liu Jingwang the day after tomorrow?

Does Zhang Zifan treat everyone equally and treat them all for free?
This is obviously unrealistic.

Of course, this does not mean that in the future, Zhang Zifan will not open up green channels for difficult patients and provide cheap and high-quality medical services.

At that time, Haoran medical experts have a great career and have mastered the core medical technology. Zhang Zifan has a hundred ways in his mind to use the wool of the rich and foreigners to subsidize the poor patients in our country.

But the current Haoran Clinic does not have such strength, so Zhang Zifan has to charge according to the regulations.

but……

Zhang Zifan asked: "Speaking of which, what are your plans after surgery?"

For a moment, Li Jingwang's eyes lit up.

For a moment, he fantasized that he could recover and return to boxing again.

In the past two years, MMA mixed martial arts has become more and more popular both in the world and in my country.

Everyone has been fed up with the "martial arts masters" who click to stop, and prefer the mixed martial arts from fist to flesh. China even gave birth to the first UFC women's fighting world champion in Asia.

Every time Li Jingwang watched those figures fighting in all directions on TV programs, his eyes were full of his appearance when he was not injured.

You know, mixed martial arts is not like e-sports, you are a veteran in your early twenties.

There are many fighters who become famous in their 30s. As long as the 26-year-old Li Jingwang can recover, he still has great potential.

But soon, Li Jingwang's eyes dimmed.

He knew that this was impossible. Such things as surgery must be more difficult and less effective each time.

Didn't Liu Xiang, such a powerful world champion and national hero, also fall on the Achilles tendon rupture...

This operation can be restored to the level of two months ago, in Li Jingwang's opinion, it is a very good result.

But if this is the case, it means that I will not be able to do heavy physical labor in the future, and I will basically become a useless person.

The only way out is probably to become a security guard?

Just when Li Jingwang came up with this idea, Zhang Zifan suddenly discovered that Li Jingwang's profile picture had changed, and he became an applicant.

[C-level fighting expert - Li Jingwang]

[Due to injuries and lack of training, his technical level has declined significantly]

[Force: Li Dehuo Decoration Team]

[Personality: Loyalty, persistence]

【Commander: 77】

【Technology: 52】

【Intelligence: 55】

【Enterprising: 71】

【Charm: 50】

【Recruitment success rate: 69.05%】

"Our outpatient department lacks a security guard. You can keep vigil for the outpatient department while recovering from surgery. I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhang Zifan sent out an invitation.
