"Do you want to go to the hospital?" The child's grandfather waved his hand after hearing this, "Forget it, I'll carry him to the clinic."
Village Chief Li held the man back and said, "You have to listen to the doctor from the National Association. Don't you want your grandson's life?"
"Who said I don't want my grandson's life? The problem is that I don't understand what they said. They made a toothache into such a big deal." The child's grandfather was almost saying that you, a doctor, are trying to cheat people out of money.
"They didn't charge you a penny for the free clinic today. Why would they lie to you?"
Village chief Li spoke for the doctors and told the villagers that everything should be done reasonably.
In this kind of situation, the patient is always the worst off. Especially for a child who can only rely on his parents financially, his life and death are not in the hands of the doctor but in the hands of his elders.
The child's grandfather squatted on the ground, groping in his pocket to take out a cigarette. His son and daughter-in-law were not at home, they had gone out to work, and he had left several children to take care of them. The money given by the children's parents was not enough for the children to go to the hospital for treatment.
"Ask his parents to send money back, and I will help you contact them." As a village cadre, Village Chief Li understands the mentality of these villagers better, and patted the grandfather on the shoulder and said.
The village official went into the office to make a phone call, and the child's grandfather suddenly stood up and seemed to be going somewhere.
...
...
"Hey, where are you going--" Jiang Mingzhu stood up excitedly and shouted for help.
I am really afraid that the parents will abandon their children here. This happens all the time, most of them are abandoned in hospitals or at the gates of welfare homes. These parents are not afraid that the hospital or welfare home will not accept their children, they are sure that doctors are soft-hearted. They will wait until the children are cured for free before taking them back.
The child's grandfather quickened his pace when he heard the doctor's call. None of the villagers dared to stop him. Only Village Chief Li and his cadres were left to chase him. He turned back and reassured the doctor: "It's okay, it's okay. We know where his home is."
What does this have to do with where the patient lives? Jiang Mingzhu was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet. She knew how cold-blooded these parents were. Such parents usually have more than one child at home, so for them, losing one child is nothing. Besides, such people would probably turn the table over on you, the police doctor, and say that I am just poor and can't pay, and it's up to you whether to keep the child's life or not.
The little girl Ma Yunli who was rescued by the junior sister before is a typical example. Until now, the police have not been able to solve the problem even after going to Ma’s house to look for her.
It is even more unlikely that the police would detain an old man like this. If they detain him, the other children in his family will be left unattended.
"Teacher Nie, give the child antibiotics first." Xie Wanying suggested.
The others turned around quickly, wondering how she could be calmer than her predecessors.
Yao Jie said: "There are no antibiotics."
How could you bring antibiotics to the free clinic? The free clinic only lasts one or two days. A course of antibiotics takes several days. If you prescribe antibiotics to patients, they will not be able to complete the course of treatment, which is equivalent to being useless. Patients who need antibiotic treatment can only actively ask their family members to take them to the hospital.
"We can contact the clinic. They should have antibiotics. Let's take care of his leg first." Xie Wanying said calmly, word by word, and finally added, "I believe in the wisdom of Village Chief Li and the Village Committee."
Unlike logistics, frontline doctors do not have to face social problems directly, but doctors alone cannot solve the problem. They need to rely on everyone and society. This is what she learned from the Ma Yunli incident. We must believe that there are many good people in this world.
