Chapter 157: Short of Money



When Gao Zhijun got up, breakfast was already ready.

Grandma's family and the Huo family also got up, and everyone went about their business after breakfast.

Gao Zhijun first sent Huo Jinqian to the academy, and then she returned to the clinic.

Yesterday, Huo Jinxiu stayed in the clinic. She had to keep an eye on the patient who was bitten by a tiger.

"Sixth sister-in-law, I had a mild fever last night, but after it subsided, I haven't had a fever since."

Huo Jinxiu saw Gao Zhijun come in and told her what happened last night.

"Let me take a look. There's nothing wrong. We can do the surgery later."

After hearing that her fever had subsided and she no longer had a fever, Gao Zhijun knew that she could have the surgery.

She examined the patient's wound and found no bleeding or pus. "Can surgery be performed?"

Looking at other patients, three patients need surgery today. The operating room and the knives were disinfected early in the morning.

After checking the patients in the inpatient department, Gao Zhijun asked Jinxiu to prepare for the operation.

As usual, Huo Jinxiu assisted in the operation, and Dr. Tao went in to observe.

After changing clothes, Huo Jinxiu pushed the patient into the operating room, fed him Ma Fei San, and waited until the patient fell asleep before starting the operation.

Outside the operating room, in addition to the prince, eunuch Wang, Hawking's family members, and the patient's family members, there were also a dozen or so civilians.

These dozen or so people saw the patient's wound yesterday. They knew that the miracle doctor was going to perform surgery on the patient today, so they came early in the morning to see if he could really save the patient.

The people consciously kept quiet and waited quietly for the miracle doctor to come out and tell them that the man's foot could be cured.

This operation is a bit difficult because medical equipment is in short supply. Without steel nails, the iron will rust and become unusable.

The operation took two hours to complete the bone restoration.

After leaving the operating room, the common people, the patient's family, and the prince came forward and asked, "How was the operation? Was it successful?"

"The operation was successful. Once the patient wears off the anesthesia, he can be transferred to the ward."

Gao Zhijun wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

There is nothing here, which makes the operation more difficult.

"Miracle doctor, thank you so much!"

The patient's brother knelt down and said with gratitude.

"You're welcome. This is what I, as a doctor, should do. He needs to stay in bed for a while to recover as normal. You, as his family, should be more considerate of him."

Gao Zhijun also knew the patient's condition and that the whole family depended on him for support.

Now that he can't hunt to earn money, his family must have some complaints.

She didn't want the person she saved to have his condition worsened by his family.

"Yes. Big brother has sacrificed a lot for this family, and we will definitely take good care of him."

The patient's brother said firmly.

"It's best if you think so. I will treat him for free during his time at the clinic. After he's discharged, it's up to you guys to take care of him."

Gao Zhijun said.

It is difficult to take care of a poor person for a long time. She can waive the treatment and hospitalization fees, but after he is discharged from the hospital, she cannot spend money to help him with his rehabilitation. In this way, even if she has mountains of gold and silver, she cannot take care of him.

"Thank you, doctor. We have no way of repaying your kindness. After he is discharged from the hospital, we will pay for his treatment ourselves."

The patient's brother kowtowed to Gao Zhijun in gratitude.

"Get up and go to the ward to wait for your brother. He will be transferred to the ward soon."

Gao Zhijun helped him up and asked him to wait for the patient.

After the patient's family left, the people also left.

"County Lady, there's nothing I can do to help you. I'll give you five thousand taels as a token of my appreciation."

The county lady treated the patients without charging the people any money. Such noble deeds made him feel ashamed.

He is a prince, but he is not as good as a county lady.

He, a man, is no match for a little girl.

He also wanted to do his best, but unfortunately he was short of money.

"Thank you, Your Highness! With five thousand taels, we can save many people. On behalf of the people of Taizhou, I thank you for your generosity. They will remember your kindness to them."

Gao Zhijun happily accepted the five thousand taels of silver from Gulang. With these five thousand taels, she could save many more people.

Huo Jinxiu came over to tell Gao Zhijun that the second patient for surgery was ready and asked her when the surgery would take place.

Gao Zhijun told Huo Jinxiu that the operation could be performed now. She was asked to go to the disinfected operating room and sterilize the knives, and the operation would begin in three quarters of an hour.

After saying goodbye to the prince and Hawking, Gao Zhijun went to the emergency department first, where several patients were already waiting for her.

It was not until the patient was pushed into the operating room and Huo Jinxiu came to urge her that Gao Zhijun disinfected herself, changed her clothes, and then went into the operating room for surgery.

This operation is a minor one and is completed in one hour.

When I came out, it was time for lunch.

The prince has gone to the government office to interrogate Ning Zeming.

Gao Zhijun had lunch with the Huo family, and then she went to take a nap because she had surgery to perform in the afternoon.

Mrs. Lu felt sorry for Gao Zhijun, but she couldn't help and could only do her job as the shopkeeper.

Time passes by minute by minute, and the day is almost over.

After school, Huo Jinqian brought Bai Chen to the clinic.

Seeing that there were still many patients queuing in the clinic, he immediately went to help.

Gao Zhijun has completed the operation and is currently receiving treatment in the emergency department and Tao Hospital.

Except for the two patients yesterday, there are no patients in the gynecology department today.

Maybe those women were embarrassed to come and see the doctor, or maybe many people didn't know that she treated women.

Huo Jinqian came over with some boiled water and handed it to Gao Zhijun: "Drink some water first and see. Your voice is a little hoarse, and your throat must be uncomfortable. Drink some boiled water to moisten your throat first."

"Yes, doctor, you've worked hard all day today. Drink some water first. I'm not in a hurry."

The patient sitting opposite Gao Zhijun said ashamedly.

"Okay, I'll drink some water first. My throat is a little uncomfortable."

After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she picked up the boiled water and drank it in one gulp.
