Chapter 615: Sky-high Treatment Fees (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Following Chen Qian's suggestion, Yu Zhiming conducted a thorough head-to-toe examination on seven of the fifty candidates during the physical examination organized by the Health Bureau in the afternoon.
This means from head to toe literally.
Yu Zhiming patted and massaged them from their heads to their toes and fingers.
I actually made a discovery on one of them.
Yu Zhiming discovered that the second phalanx of the man's left ring finger was an artificial phalanx with a hidden secret.
As for what the mystery was, Yu Zhiming was unable to find out clearly due to time constraints...
After 6:10 in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming finished his day's work and returned to the big office tired and took a short rest.
He took a sip of water and noticed that Zhou Mo beside him was in an even worse state, yawning continuously and looking sleepy.
"You were worried and didn't sleep well last night?"
Zhou Mo made himself some coffee and sighed, "I didn't sleep well, but I'm not worried."
"Last night, my mother and I slept in the same bed. At first, we had a heart-to-heart talk and the atmosphere was good, but then it became too much."
"My mom started scolding me, saying I did this wrong and that wrong."
"In a fit of anger, I went to sleep in another room."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Why don't you just pretend to be asleep? If you don't give Auntie face like this, be careful that she will get angry and not give you your commission."
He then casually asked, "Hey, did your presentation and publicity at the donation reception produce any actual results?"
When this was mentioned, Zhou Mo immediately became much more energetic.
“The effect is quite significant.”
"In the past week, six people went to my mother's studio and ordered eight Chinese-style tuxedos and three matching men's suits."
"My mother dares not refuse to pay me the commission, otherwise I will stop working for her to attract business in the future."
Zhou Mo said with a flattering smile, "Doctor Yu, you will definitely have a lot of social activities in the future."
"Remember to take me with you."
Yu Zhiming hummed, "It depends on your performance."
After a pause, he asked again, "When will the dress I ordered for Qing Ning be completed?"
Zhou Mo replied with a grin, "It won't take long. My mother hired a few skilled tailors and they're working on it quickly."
"Another week... well, after the Spring Festival, it should be ready."
Just then, a handsome young man with an embarrassed expression appeared at the door.
"Doctor Yu, I'm here to bother you again."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes, and seeing Zhou Mo's inquiring gaze, he said, "The nephew of Director Cui of the General Surgery Department."
Zhou Mo understood immediately.
She heard Yu Zhiming talk about it today.
Zhou Mo stood up and walked towards Cui Yilin, asking, "Is it because of your classmate's classmate?"
Cui Yilin scratched his head and nodded, but his eyes were cast at Yu Zhiming, who was slumped in the office chair and ignored him.
Zhou Mo then asked, "I guess that girl must be very beautiful. Is she the one you like?"
Cui Yilin blushed and quickly explained, "No, no, I just saw that she was suffering from unknown abdominal pain, and I felt sorry for her. I thought about the doctor's caring heart..."
Zhou Mo interrupted, "Have you ever considered that the girl stood up Dr. Yu twice in a row, maybe just because she didn't want to accept your kindness?"
Without waiting for a response, she asked again, "Are you the one who takes the initiative to ask about the girl's situation?"
Zhou Mo noticed Cui Yilin's face flushed the color of liver, and continued, "Every time, it was you who took the initiative to offer help, but the girl didn't actually ask for it?"
Cui Yilin opened his mouth to explain, but couldn't say anything.
Zhou Mo said slowly: "If a girl never responds actively, it means she is not interested in you. It is useless for you to lick her."
"Also, it's very rude to keep knocking on a door that doesn't answer."
"Besides, you're only in your second year of clinical studies. Do you have time for romance in the future?"
"Unless you don't want to be a doctor anymore..."
Watching Cui Yilin leave in a daze, Yu Zhiming gave Zhou Mo a thumbs up.
"You're really amazing. You sent him away with just a few words."
Zhou Mo took a sip of coffee and chuckled, "It will be easy to deal with him if you can guess his little thoughts."
"Young people who are just beginning to fall in love always want to give everything for their partner, but they don't realize that the other person may not want their attention."
Yu Zhiming chatted with Zhou Mo for more than ten minutes before Qing Ning arrived late.
He was a little unhappy.
We agreed last night that I would pick him up and drop him off at get off work for his safety. It’s only the first day, and you’re not taking it seriously?
"Qing Ning, is there something delaying you?"
Yu Zhiming decided to give her a chance, listen to her explanation, and then decide how good his expression would be and how angry he would be based on the rationality of her reasons.
Qing Ning saw that Yu Zhiming was brewing dissatisfaction, so she stepped forward and took his arm, making her voice soft and gentle.
"Before coming here, I was working out at the gym, but something unexpected happened."
Yu Zhiming looked Qingning up and down and saw no signs of injury.
"Did someone provoke you?"
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "Someone else had an accident."
"Since school is on vacation now, there are a lot of young men and women flocking to the gym."
"One young man, perhaps trying to show off or impress a girl, was so aggressive under the encouragement of a group of people that he broke his arm."
Qing Ning raised her left arm and gestured, "Zhiming, you didn't see it. The scene was very scary."
"The bone fragments were poked out directly, and blood splattered everywhere, even onto the bodies and faces of several people."
"There was a girl who fainted, either because she was afraid of blood or because she was frightened. Her eyes rolled back and she passed out."
"No, not fainted."
Qing Ning corrected her, "To be precise, it was cardiac arrest, and he stopped breathing."
Yu Zhiming asked to confirm: "Are you sure it was cardiac arrest and not fainting?"
Qing Ning raised her chin, pinched her waist again, and snorted, "Zhi Ming, don't look down on me."
"After all, I've been by your side for such a long time. I've already become quite calm in the face of any emergency. I can still tell whether a person's heart is beating or not."
The next moment, she said with a hint of pride: "After I knew the girl was in cardiac arrest, I immediately performed CPR on her."
"Let me put it this way, after nearly ten minutes of persistent efforts, I finally rescued her."
"I saved a life today."
Qing Ning raised her hands again and said in a soft voice, "Zhi Ming, my arms are still sore and uncomfortable."
These words made Zhou Mo roll his eyes.
Yu Zhiming grabbed one of Qing Ning's arms and massaged her while analyzing, "It's unlikely that cardiac arrest could be caused simply by fainting at the sight of blood or being frightened."
"There's a good chance that the girl has some issues with her body or heart."
Qing Ning asked, "Should I ask the gym to notify that girl and ask her to go to the hospital for a detailed checkup of her body and heart?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "It is necessary to check it out."
He squeezed Qing Ning's other arm again and said, "Okay, let's go back first."
Qing Ning hummed and turned to look at Zhou Mo.
"Momo, we're leaving first. Um, is there any news about your friend?"
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "No news yet."
Qing Ning said "Oh" and asked again, "Is that doctor still harassing you?"
Zhou Mo shook his head again and said, "After the hospital's annual meeting, there was no more. I guess he gave up."
Just then, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
It’s a call from Gu Qingran.
Yu Zhiming answered the phone and asked directly, "Has Mr. Meng agreed?"
"Agreed."
Gu Qingran said confidently during the call, "I agreed to it because I was pressed for time."
"This is also within my expectations. After all, this is a decision involving life and death."
After a pause, Gu Qingran continued, "We are giving him a thorough full-body examination."
"Zhiming, where are you?"
Yu Zhiming replied, "I'll go there early tomorrow morning, around nine in the morning."
"Then, the surgery is tentatively scheduled for 11 a.m."
Gu Qingran roared excitedly on the phone again, "Tomorrow will be a day that will be remembered in the history of Ning'an Hospital, and even in the history of medicine in our country."
"Zhiming, you are making history."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and asked, "Dean Gu, have you calculated the cost of treatment?"
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "I actually did a preliminary calculation today so that it would be easier for me to give Mr. Meng Fan a quote."
"CAR-T cell therapy, the price tag is 1.2 million."
"Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills, clearly marked price: 300,000."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming couldn't help but think in his heart, what a profiteer. Doctor Wang once said that someone offered a price of 100,000 per pill.
Although he said he didn't sell it, it was obvious that he was satisfied and approved of the price.
When it came to Gu Qingran, it directly rose to 300,000.
Gu Qingran's voice continued to come from the phone, "Zhiming, your cancer detection skills are unparalleled in the world, and they are the key and core to the success of the treatment."
"The price is clearly marked at 600,000, isn't that too much?"
At this price?!
Yu Zhiming was still satisfied.
It’s not that he wants a high price, it’s a reflection of his own value.
It's impossible that the role and value he plays in this treatment is less than that of a medicine, right?
"The surgery costs 200,000 yuan."
"After the operation, you need to fully recover in the ICU for about a month, and the price tag is 300,000 yuan."
"Including all the other miscellaneous items, the price I quoted to Mr. Meng Fan is 3 million."
"Mr. Meng Fan has no objection and agrees."
Yu Zhiming grinned and said, "The eleven people who received health care treatment in Ning'an are all well-off, so they naturally wouldn't take three million seriously."
"But these three million yuan are an unattainable and sky-high treatment cost for 99.99% of cancer patients in the country."
Gu Qingran said in a deep voice, "There's nothing we can do about it. The 1.2 million yuan cost of CAR-T cell therapy excludes the vast majority of patients."
"For patients who can afford 1.2 million, 3 million is not a problem..."
It’s the end of the month, please support me with monthly tickets!!!
