664 Free Clinic is a matter of great importance
The atmosphere at the porridge distribution site was completely lifted. No matter whether it was the people who received the porridge or not, they were all infected by this scene. They knelt down one by one and kowtowed in the direction of the imperial palace.
"Long live the emperor!"
Every disaster victim was thanking the emperor, thanking Dongling for having a good emperor. When this scene reached the emperor's ears, he probably felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
Feng Qingchen's lips curled up slightly with a playful smile.
You know, now not only the emperor lives in the palace, but also the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince had a plan in advance, and this man really didn't miss any opportunity to take advantage of.
She put away her smile and turned around to meet Xuan Shaoqi's dark eyes. Seeing Xuan Shaoqi's knowing smile, the smile on Feng Qingchen's face froze immediately.
This man is not an ordinary person. Fortunately, they are not enemies.
"Ahem... Let's go in and get to work." Feng Qingchen awkwardly changed the subject. Xuan Shaoqi didn't say a word more, just smiled and nodded, carrying the medicine box and following behind Feng Qingchen, doing his job diligently as a little medical apprentice.
Tong Jue stood behind and watched the two people walking in one after the other, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When walking with the Ninth Prince, her daughter would follow the rules and lag behind one step; when walking with the eldest son, the two would usually walk side by side; and when walking with Xuan Shaoqi, this man...
But he always lagged behind her young lady by half a step to one step, standing on the left side of her young lady, like a responsible guard, protecting her young lady perfectly.
No matter what the reason was, this man had no ill will towards her daughter, and it was really hard to dislike him.
The situation in the free clinic was just as Feng Qingchen had imagined, very bad.
As soon as you walk in, you are hit by an unpleasant smell. Even heavy snow cannot cover up the sour odor. The ground is simply covered with straw. Patients are lying there one by one. Those whose conditions are a little better will sit up and give their seats to others.
When a patient comes in, they will automatically squeeze together to make room without anyone telling them.
When Feng Qingchen came in, the doctor sent by the Yun family was already treating the patient, and the medicine boy was also decocting medicine in the back. One medicine boy had to take care of dozens of medicine jars. Fortunately, they were well-trained, otherwise it would be troublesome if they made a mistake in the prescription.
Sun Sixing went to the inner room, where the patients' conditions were the most serious. Sun Sixing was examining the old man who had just been carried in. Feng Qingchen took a look at the old man's condition from a distance and could basically judge that the old man was hungry and cold, and his life would not be in danger if he met them.
Every doctor in the free clinic was very busy, without even a chance to breathe. If it were in the past, Feng Qingchen would definitely put down the medicine box and start working, but not today...
Sun Sixing, that idiot, she had prepared the stage for him, but he just didn't know how to seize the opportunity, letting the Yun family's doctor take the spotlight for nothing, really...
She was so mad!
There are also some rules for free medical consultations. Generally, doctors will choose to treat people with milder illnesses, so that more people can be treated without taking any risks.
For patients with serious conditions, doctors will not accept them even if they are in the hospital, let alone during free clinics. Doctors must learn to protect themselves and cherish their reputation. For patients who are about to die, not only doctors but also hospitals will not accept them.
If a patient dies in your hands, you cannot escape responsibility even if it is not your misdiagnosis. This is even more serious during free clinics.
If a patient dies in your hands during your free medical consultation, the patient's family will definitely blame you for not doing your job well because you don't get paid. They will put all the responsibility on you, saying that you are a hypocrite, and your reputation will be damaged.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Sun Sixing's medical skills, but Sun Sixing has just started practicing medicine and his future is bright. His reputation cannot be damaged in any way, and he cannot have anyone die of illness or disease at his hands, as this would be a blow to him.
The first time, Feng Qingchen did not directly treat the patient during the free clinic. Instead, he rushed into the inner hall, grabbed Sun Sixing out, and walked out dragging him by the collar.
"Master, Master, Master..." Sun Sixing didn't dare to resist and could only cooperate with a look of grievance, fearing that Feng Qingchen would fall.
When they reached the outer hall, Feng Qingchen let go of Sun Sixing, with a face that was not in line with his age. He pointed at the patients on the ground and angrily scolded: "You only know how to call me Master now. What did Master teach you? Master told you to do your best to treat the most people, to use the least amount of medicinal materials, and to treat the most patients. In the end, what did you do?
As soon as you came in, you ran to the intensive care unit? What? Are you so great at medicine? You have the ability to cure seriously ill patients, so you don't care about these minor illnesses and injuries? Do you know that when you cure a seriously ill patient, the conditions of ten ordinary patients will worsen, and twenty seriously ill patients will become seriously ill patients?
At that time, it will not only cause a waste of medical resources, but also bring an unbearable burden to the patients' families. The medical fees for seriously ill patients are more than three times that of ordinary patients. Do you think an ordinary family can afford such a large amount of medical expenses?
As a doctor, we can earn consultation fees with our medical skills, but we must have a conscience and never let patients delay a minor illness into a major one, a major illness into a serious one, or a serious illness into a terminal one. "Feng Qingchen spoke quickly, but his pronunciation was fresh. Sun Sixing listened in a daze, seemingly unable to understand.
In his mind, when saving people, of course the seriously ill should be saved first, because they cannot afford to delay and any further delay would be fatal. People with milder illnesses can wait, but he never thought that such a wait would cause those with milder illnesses to become seriously ill.
As soon as the little fool's eyes turned, Feng Qingchen knew what he was thinking. Sun Sixing's idea was not wrong, but when medical resources were scarce and doctors were in short supply, it was most important to treat patients with milder illnesses.
The same medicine and the same doctor can only save one critically ill patient, but if they are used to treat people with milder illnesses, they can save more than ten. According to the principle of maximizing profits, of course, the choice is to save ten people with milder illnesses.
Although everyone's life is equal and life should not be measured in this way, but... theory is always theory, reality is always reality. A country will spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to save a national leader, but will never spend the same money to save a beggar.
This world is inherently unfair. Just like when we are in distress, we will definitely save children and women first and leave the elderly and men behind. It is not because they are not worth saving, but when there is not enough chance of survival, we should give it to those who need it most first.
This topic is too heavy, and Feng Qingchen does not want to overturn Sun Sixing's kindness. During the anti-justice diagnosis, she will not let Sun Sixing treat seriously ill patients.
Feng Qingchen took a deep breath and tried to speak in a relaxed tone: "Sixing, your master's medical skills are trustworthy, but your speed can't keep up. Your master can bandage the wounds of ten people at the same time, can you?"
Sun Sixing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Feng Qingchen with admiration. After hearing the last sentence, he shook his head sadly: "No."
This is the sentence I've been waiting for.
"Since you can't, then you need to practice more. For a doctor, speed is very important. Sometimes if you are one second faster, you can save one more person.
Sixing, now is a good opportunity to improve your speed. Most of the people outside are suffering from frostbite and cold. I'll leave them to you. As for the patients inside, don't worry, Master will take care of them."
This was the first time she specifically targeted people with serious illnesses. Normally, when she went to free clinics and encountered seriously ill patients, no one would take over the case and would immediately send them to the hospital. Those patients might die before the medicine could take effect.
But now...she would rather take the blame for killing someone than let Sun Sixing's reputation be damaged.
"Okay." Sun Sixing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Feng Qingchen would personally treat those seriously ill patients. He was really afraid that his master would not be willing to treat them.
The patients he saw all had minor illnesses that had evolved into major ones, and the treatment required both a waste of medicinal materials and time.
The master was right. He could only treat three to five seriously ill patients a day, but he could treat hundreds of patients with milder illnesses.
Seeing that Sun Sixing agreed without asking any questions, Feng Qingchen was both happy and worried. She was happy that Sun Sixing was well-behaved, but also worried that Sun Sixing would be sold out, so she helped count the money.
Take Xuan Shaoqi's case, for example. His attitude changed drastically in one night. She didn't believe that no one had reminded him...
He is so easily influenced. If he doesn't have a strong woman to help take care of him, he will probably die of poverty.
Sigh! Feng Qingchen pointed at Tong Jue and said, "Tong Jue, you have been with me for so long, you should know a little bit. Take good care of this place and help Sixing treat these patients. Also, no other doctor is allowed to help Sixing. Sixing is responsible for all these patients."
"Yes, Miss." Tong Jue is not Sun Sixing. Tong Jue understands how much Feng Qingchen values Sun Sixing, so she made the assurance immediately.
"Master, don't worry. I won't let you down." Sun Sixing also assured again and again. After seeing Feng Qingchen nod with satisfaction, Sun Sixing touched the back of his head awkwardly: "Master, I'm going to see the doctor."
"Go ahead, Master believes in you, you can do it." Sun Sixing was taller than Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen originally wanted to pat his head, but ended up only patting his shoulder.
Feng Qingchen studied medicine but did not seek to make a living from it. Her apprentice will definitely become a medical saint who seeks to make a living from it.
Seeing that Sun Sixing was fully devoted to the medical work, Feng Qingchen once again confirmed that her decision was correct. Sixing only needed to concentrate on treating patients, and leave the rest to her. She would definitely give Sixing a pure sky and let him concentrate on studying medicine and healing people.
"Let's go in too. The patients inside can't wait." Feng Qingchen gestured to Xuan Shaoqi to carry the medicine box and follow her, praying silently in her heart that today's free clinic and porridge distribution would go smoothly.
However, this was definitely wishful thinking. At this moment, a group of officials rushed out from the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion. Their target was the stalls providing free porridge and free medical consultations at the city gate. Judging from their ferocious looks, it was definitely not a good thing...
A word to readers: I’m sorry that it’s even more late. This morning when I was brushing my teeth, I spit out a mouthful of blood. I was really scared and couldn’t stop the bleeding for a long time. I didn’t know where the bleeding was, so I had to go to the hospital... So, it’s late.
