Perhaps thinking that this was an expected situation and did not need further explanation from a top student like her, Du Ye Qing simply nodded.
We need to go into the ICU and examine the patient first to know the details.
Since they were here, Du Yeqing accompanied them into the ward.
Every bed in Guozhi's ICU has a curtain drawn, and the area is tightly shielded, so that people who come in can clearly feel a very depressing atmosphere.
The very wealthy patients have long been transferred to the independent VIP wards, where the conditions are amazing. The patients who are treated here are relatively poor patients. Don't think that you can be cured by entering the ICU. The mortality rate of the ICU is among the highest among all clinical departments. Is it because the conditions of these patients cannot be cured even if they are admitted to the ICU?
No. Insiders know that a major factor in whether a patient lives or dies in the ICU is still money.
The seriously injured person today is a medical student of our school. He could have escaped, but he ran back to call for help and was injured. This can be called a heroic act. Such a good person should be treated with all efforts, regardless of medical expenses. Such a beautiful wish can only be in the sky.
It has been said time and again that hospitals are about economic benefits. If hospitals are asked to bear the sky-high medical expenses, every good person who needs treatment will cost the hospital millions, and the hospital will go bankrupt sooner or later.
Millions?
...
...
One million is too little. If the patient's condition is still on the verge of death and needs to be kept on by a machine waiting for a miracle, burning money in the ICU is like a bottomless pit. It will definitely be more than one million.
So some hospitals simply slow down the introduction of these most advanced medical methods. Why? Most patients don't have the money to spend. How to fill this investment gap after the introduction is a problem.
For example, the stingy Dean Wu had never planned to equip the ICU of the National Association with the world's most advanced machines. He knew that the national economy could not keep up with such medical consumption for the time being, and that buying them would mean that they would be idle and result in losses.
Doctors in the National Association can only complain about this. After all, compared with other hospitals, such as the brother hospital Guozhi and the farther away Zhongshan Medical College First Affiliated Hospital, they are not stingy about spending this money.
In fact, Dr. Wu is right. It only depends on whether the patient is given the machine after spending the money to introduce it. This is back to the original point: whether the patient has the money.
Fan Yunyun was sent to Guozhi for emergency treatment, and Guozhi is temporarily paying all the expenses for her treatment.
Perhaps after the accident is investigated, the person responsible for the fire will pay for the medical expenses, but it is very likely that the hospital will not receive the compensation until some time in the future. More likely, the person who caused the fire has no money and cannot afford to pay the hospital for the high medical expenses, so the hospital can only accept the loss.
The latter is the most likely possibility, and the hospital has experienced too many similar incidents and has this awareness.
It can be said that since Guozhi accepted this patient today, it was doomed to lose money.
The specific amount of compensation to be prepared for the patients is something that Guozhi’s leaders must consider carefully.
The rescue plan is detailed to the point of each expensive rescue drug, and now all of them need to be approved by the supervisor. Clinical doctors dare not make their own decisions, fearing that they will be held accountable by the hospital and have to help the hospital pay the sky-high medical expenses.
Saving people was originally a clear and simple matter, but it suddenly became extremely complicated.
Ordinary people all want to save others, but ordinary people don’t have the money to do so.
A doctor brushed past Xie Wanying and ran to the doctor's office to get the note to take to his leader for approval.
