Doctor: It's reasonable to perform surgery on yourself.

In this case... can you really afford the medical expenses?

In other words, if the patient dies, will the family members run away on the spot?

This kind of thing is very common. Those present are all veterans of the medical system and are no longer surprised.

That is why many hospitals do not allow arrears. Once the balance on the hospitalization account cannot pay for one day's treatment, the family members will be required to pay. Those who refuse to comply can be refused treatment.

There are very few hospitals like Linyi that allow arrears of more than 100,000 yuan.

In addition to being rich, there is another reason - Linyi is not very large now.

Such as Union Hospital, West China Hospital, Temple of Heaven, etc., are all well-known top hospitals in the country. The number of patients is huge, and the average cost of each patient is also high. There are all kinds of people coming. As the number increases, the probability of running away is also greater. The hospital cannot bear this kind of backstab.

"No."

The director of the emergency department of the Temple of Heaven spoke again, with a hint of respect in his words, and said: "The family members have sold the house in their hometown and prepared one million first."

At this moment, the conference room was extremely quiet.

All the doctors who were still worried that the family members would run away due to arrears of fees looked over, with deep shock on their faces.

…

Outside the ICU of the Temple of Heaven.

Family members sat, stood, or lay on the ground covered with only a mat. Most of them had a blackened mineral water bottle next to them, and a plastic bag was filled with a day's ration.

A mother with her hair tied up moved a new chair and sat down, her head against the wall, her eyes unfocused.

The daughter next to her held a model airplane with rough edges and slowly circled above her mother's head.

After a while, a childish voice sounded, and the girl said innocently: "Mom, when I become a pilot in the future, I will take you to fly every day!"

The mother suddenly came back to her senses, and the grief on her face disappeared without a trace. She stroked her daughter's head and whispered softly: "Okay, Mom believes you can do it."

The little girl giggled and hugged her mother's neck intimately.

Everyone around looked over, and they couldn't help but smile.

In this gloomy place, seeing an innocent child is also a kind of healing for them.

However, they also know that the little girl just doesn't know the truth for the time being.

When she understands why her frugal mother suddenly takes her on a plane and why she comes to the hospital...

Thinking of this, no one dares to think about it anymore.

Life is already so cruel, leaving some fantasy for the little girl is the only thing to do.

"Is that the family?" A young figure walked out of the ICU, followed by many people.

The director of the Tiantan ICU said respectfully: "Academician Xu, they are Dai Kai's wife and daughter, and they have raised more than one million yuan."

Dai Kai is the patient who was almost cut in half.

Of course, his condition is much more serious than the real cut in half, and a large number of avulsion injuries have further increased the difficulty of treatment.

"Doctor, doctor--"

In the distance, Dai Kai's wife finally saw someone coming out of the ICU and rushed up in a hurry.

The other family members around turned a blind eye. They already understood that it was meaningless to ask. If there was really any situation, the doctor would take the initiative to talk to them.

But Dai Kai's wife was new. She was eager for any news about her husband, but she was afraid of hearing bad news.

With this contradictory mood, Dai's wife still trotted to the ICU director.

Just as she was about to ask, the ICU director said: "The patient is still in danger, be prepared for the worst."

But the director did not get a response.

He looked over and found that Dai's wife's eyes were wide open, looking at Xu Qiu beside her with incredible eyes.

"Xu... Doctor Xu Qiu!" Dai's wife's voice was trembling.

She never thought that she would meet Xu Qiu, a clinical doctor, in Tiandu Tiantan Hospital!

"Do you know Academician Xu?"

The ICU director reacted as soon as he finished speaking.

Xu Qiu's popularity in the eyes of the public is probably higher than that of all doctors in the country.

"Doctor Xu?"

Hearing Dai's wife's blurt-out cry, the family members outside the ICU stood up and cast unanimous looks at him.

When they saw Xu Qiu's iconic handsomeness, they dared to be sure that Xu Qiu really came.

For a moment, everyone gathered around, with indescribable surprise and joy on their faces.

"Doctor Xu, save my father..."

"My wife has pneumonia, Doctor Xu, please take a look at her, you will definitely get better immediately!"

"Doctor Xu..."

Family members with accents from all over the country gathered around, and everyone's face revealed excitement.

The director of the Tiantan ICU was shocked by this scene.

Is this Xu Qiu's appeal? !

The sense of security that their Tiantan top hospital brings to patients is not as good as Xu Qiu who appeared at the door by chance!

However, thinking of Xu Qiu's deeds, the director of the ICU silently acknowledged this fact.

Xu Qiu is not a flower stand held up by the country. He has reached his current position step by step by relying on medical skills, surgery and scientific research strength. He is a real strength.

Not to mention the family members, even he, the director of the ICU, was subconsciously relieved when Xu Qiu came to check on the patient's condition-after all, with Xu Qiu there, it is basically difficult for the patient to die.

"Everyone, everyone, Academician Xu is here for academic exchanges. Don't worry, Tiantan Hospital will treat all patients with the most professional attitude. Please cooperate!" The director of the ICU stepped forward to maintain discipline.

The family members reluctantly dispersed, but their eyes still stayed on Xu Qiu.

Those sad and pleading eyes were engraved in Xu Qiu's mind.

"..." Xu Qiu was silent for a long time.

He suddenly realized that he might not have done enough.

There are too many sufferings in the world, and medicine can save too little. He has won the highest honor in the academic world and even become the most promising doctor in Daxia and the first person in the younger generation, but there is still a long way to go.

Now, he no longer needs to compete with anyone else.

His opponent is only himself.

Or to put it more bluntly-it is an endless medical forbidden zone, a blind spot in life that has not been explored and deciphered by humans!

While Xu Qiu was thinking, a doctor rushed out of the ICU and whispered a few words to the director of the ICU.

The latter's face changed instantly. He immediately looked at Xu Qiu and said solemnly:

"Academician Xu, I have to rush to the multidisciplinary meeting to report. The patient is about to develop a state of physiological function exhaustion. He will soon lose the opportunity to be transferred. If it is delayed, even rescue will not be possible."

Physiological function exhaustion?

For patients with severe multiple injuries, this state generally refers to the triad of hypothermia, coagulation disorder and metabolic acidosis. The three are mutually causal and vicious. Any one of them will make the other two more serious!

It is precisely because of this characteristic that once the patient really enters the state of victory exhaustion, it is almost impossible to correct it.
