Chapter 141
"Similarly, I studied medicine only to fulfill Ms. Shi Mei's last wish before she died." As for always taking first place, it was just a coincidence due to my nature.
Shi Ye's fingers lingered on Jiang Zhinian's neck and collarbone. "I haven't thought about how far I want to go, or how high I want to stand. I just want to be an ordinary surgeon and do every operation well."
Now he follows his mentor, rotating through various operating rooms every day. In this top-notch medical temple in the country, where appointments are hard to come by, he has witnessed a variety of rare diseases and complex surgeries brought together from all over the country. The excitement he gets after each difficult challenge is like the feeling of racing, a rush of adrenaline. These are things that overseas exchanges cannot bring him.
"So, don't feel sorry for me." He might not value the things that others consider as treasures.
He lowered his head and stared into Jiang Zhinian's eyes: "Maybe one day, I won't even want to be a doctor anymore."
Jiang Zhinian slightly raised his upper body and fell into Shi Ye's arms: "You can do whatever you want here with me."
Her original intention was to support Shi Ye's dream and let him be free, but when Shi Ye heard it, it had some indescribable meaning.
He raised his hand and pinched Jiang Zhinian's earlobe, lowered his head and whispered: "Then I won't be polite..."
Jiang Zhinian was still confused when he was grabbed by the waist and turned sideways. Weren't they just talking about some serious life topics, how come the scene suddenly changed and turned into a yellow filter?
She lay on her side, feeling the hot body pressing against her from behind, especially the soft and tender area just below her lower back... She couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"Shi Ye, it's too frequent...Is it bad?"
The hot air behind her sprayed on her neck, coaxing her: "Just like this..."
There was a hint of urgency and desire in his tone, so Jiang Zhinian could only say "hmm" softly and indulge him for a while.
Sure enough, no matter how aloof and elegant a man may seem, once the disguise beneath the cloak of civilization is removed, he is revealed to be an unevolved beast. He conquers, plunders, controls, and then enjoys his prey wantonly.
…
At 22 weeks, Shi Ye took Jiang Zhinian to a private hospital for a four-dimensional examination.
As soon as Jiang Zhinian walked in, he was shocked by the luxurious decoration and quiet environment. This place... doesn't look like a hospital at all.
"Why are there so few people here?" Jiang Zhinian asked curiously, "How can we continue to operate with so few patients?"
"Guess how much the registration fee is."
"100?"
"It's missing a zero."
In domestic public tertiary hospitals, an ordinary attending physician charges 10 yuan, a professor charges 30 yuan, and of course there are also special outpatient clinics for experts, which basically cost between 100 and 300 yuan. Only in China can you spend so little money to see top experts in the industry.
"This place is so expensive, will anyone come to see it?"
"Of course, there are always people willing to exchange money for time and service." Shi Ye said calmly, "Private hospitals implement an appointment system. A doctor sees a dozen patients a day, and each patient has about 30 minutes to communicate with the doctor."
He looked around at the nurses who were smiling and speaking in gentle tones, and asked, "Do you think it's much better than a tertiary hospital?"
Jiang Zhinian thought for a moment and shook his head, "But a registration here costs 1,000 yuan, and all high-quality services are based on the premise that doctors and nurses don't have to see many patients. But if doctors in public hospitals only see a dozen or so patients a day, then many patients with urgent conditions will have to wait a long time."
Just like the hospital where Shi Ye works, each doctor has to see at least 50 patients in half a day. Even with so many appointments, there are always people asking for extra appointments. If it follows the model of private hospitals, it may take three months to get a appointment.
It’s okay for local patients, but what about those patients who come from other places to seek medical treatment? The accommodation fees alone can drive them to death.
"This is actually the medical model abroad. Many good doctors go to private hospitals, and only wealthy people with high-cost medical insurance can afford to see them. If you only have the most basic medical insurance, you can only go to public hospitals and wait in line for an appointment."
Jiang Zhinian looked at Shi Ye's expression and suddenly asked, "If it were you, would you come to a private hospital?"
Before coming, Shi Ye told her that a senior in the Department of Internal Medicine had switched from a public hospital to a private hospital.
Shi Ye chuckled: "I'm a surgeon. Unless I switch to obstetrics and gynecology in the future, the current scale of private hospitals in China will hardly be able to support a complex operation."
It's not just a matter of hospital size, but also of patients' trust and the popularity of domestic commercial insurance. However, this is complicated and Shi Ye is too lazy to discuss it.
"Well, what if I don't become a surgeon..."
"I know what you want to ask. The reason why that senior brother changed jobs was actually because of the pressure of life." He is in his thirties but cannot afford to buy a house. The children need to go to school and take interest classes. The wife doesn't want to squeeze into the subway every day and also wants to have a car so that the three of them can go out to play nearby on weekends. However, the husband who frequently works overtime cannot bring equivalent economic benefits to the family.
After leaving the hospital, that senior brother was confused and melancholy, and even said that his ideals were dead. However, I heard that he was very successful recently, and he often advised his former colleagues in the department to go out and have a look, saying that only outside could one find real symptom-based medical treatment.
He does not comment on these things. Everyone has the right to pursue his own life value, which may be social value or economic value, and there is nothing wrong with it.
There is a doctor in their hospital who has been supporting the construction of medical and health care in backward areas for decades. Every year he leads a team to the mountainous areas to provide free medical services. It is said that every time he performs an operation, doctors from all over the country line up to learn and observe.
In fact, according to his original plan, after graduating with a Ph.D. and becoming a formal doctor, he would apply to join this aid team to work, just as his mother did.
Jiang Zhinian leaned on Shi Ye's shoulder: "I think the medical staff should be paid more..."
"Is this your complaint as a doctor's family member?"
"I'm not complaining. I really think you work very hard and make a lot of sacrifices. Paying you more can keep good doctors in public hospitals so that poor patients can get better medical care."
If one day all the good doctors go to private hospitals where the appointment fee is 1,000 yuan, how can many people who earn 3,000 yuan a month afford to see a doctor?
Shi Ye rubbed Jiang Zhinian's head: "Teacher Jiang is right."
