Chapter 776 Tit for Tat
Monday is here again.
A little after 8:20 in the morning, Yu Zhiming and Zhou Mo rushed to the Zhizhen Building of the hospital and happened to meet Bao Wan who came with a surgical nurse.
"Is there another surgery today?"
Bao Wan hummed in response, "One in the morning, and another in the afternoon. Let's come over and prepare for the surgery first."
She further explained, "Dr. Wang had a backlog of surgeries, so he took advantage of the operating room's availability to do it quickly, to prevent other doctors from targeting you."
Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
Zhou Mo asked, "Doctor Bao, has the kidney transplant surgery been scheduled?"
What she was asking about was the living-donor kidney transplant surgery in Taiwan, which was guaranteed by the center's nurses and funded by the Zhiming Foundation.
Bao Wan replied, "Doctor Wang said the tentative date is early April. The main reason is that living-donor kidney transplants require a lot of documentation, so it takes a long time to process."
As they were talking, they arrived at the third underground floor.
Monday is Yu Zhiming's outpatient day.
There were already more than a dozen patients and their families waiting in the corridor.
In the corridor, Yu Zhiming unexpectedly saw a patient he had diagnosed years ago, Mr. Gao Fu from Beijing.
Years ago, he was brought here by Dr. Qin Qiushi.
Yu Zhiming was not only diagnosed with very early-stage esophageal cancer, but also with serious heart problems.
At that time, Yu Zhiming's medical advice was to maintain the heart first and then perform surgery to remove the cancerous tissue.
Now, after more than two months, I saw that Boss Gao had lost a lot of weight.
However, he looked in good spirits and his eyes were bright.
Yu Zhiming invited him into the office.
"Doctor Yu, I'm here to ask you for a follow-up check and to express my gratitude."
Gao Fu said sincerely, "According to your suggestion, I will take care of my heart and body first, and then have the surgery."
"In the end, I managed to get through it quite smoothly. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to make it through this Lantern Festival."
As he spoke, he handed over a check.
"I heard that you, Dr. Yu, have established a charitable medical fund. Please accept this small token of your appreciation."
Yu Zhiming took the one million transfer check handed over by the other party and gave it to Zhou Mo beside him.
"Mr. Gao, let's do a physical examination first..."
Yu Zhiming gave Mr. Gao a full-body examination on the multi-functional examination chair in the office.
Only a small section of Gao Fu's esophagus was circumcised, which had little impact on his swallowing function.
This is also the reason why he was able to recover quickly after the operation.
After the examination, Yu Zhiming stated, "The esophageal cancer removal surgery went very well. No residual cancerous tissue was found, and no new cancerous growths were found in other areas."
"As for his heart, he's out of danger, but he still needs further rest."
He advised: "You still need to exercise properly, pay attention to your diet, have a regular work and rest schedule, avoid drinking, smoking, and overeating. Staying up late should be resolutely stopped."
Gao Fu nodded and said, "After going through this ordeal, I've come to a lot of things. Career, friends, and family are important, but if your health breaks down, you'll have nothing left."
After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Doctor Yu, have you heard about the rumors in the capital these days?"
"What rumor?" Yu Zhiming was confused.
Gao Fu saw that Yu Zhiming's reaction didn't seem fake, so he explained, "After New Year's Day, I felt unwell, so I went to Jingcheng Hospital and asked Dr. Chu to check me out."
"Old Chu is also a master of traditional Chinese medicine, known as the Yama Hand."
He further explained, "It's said he got this nickname because more than a decade ago, he diagnosed three seemingly healthy people with serious health problems through pulse diagnosis, predicting they would face life-or-death challenges within the next month or two."
“As a result, his words came true.”
"Then the nickname Yama's Hand came into being, meaning Yama will kill you at three o'clock in the morning, and no one dares to stay until five o'clock."
After a pause, Gao Fu smiled and asked, "Doctor Yu, guess what he said when he took my pulse?"
Before Yu Zhiming could even open his mouth, Zhou Mo couldn't help but ask, "Before the Lantern Festival, there will be a life-or-death catastrophe?"
Gao Fu chuckled and nodded.
Yu Zhiming asked with a puzzled look on his face, "That old man Chu also has the ability to see the big picture from the small details. He should have a way to alleviate the symptoms and treat them, right?"
Gao Fu nodded and said, "Indeed, he told me that he has a cure that will most likely help me survive this disaster."
"But he's too ruthless. Not only did he ask for 30 million in medical expenses, he even asked me to transfer a project to the Chu family."
Yu Zhiming was very surprised and even couldn't believe it.
"Are you really asking for so much?"
Gao Fu sighed softly, "For something like this, would I be so deceitful and deliberately fabricate rumors?"
"He also told me that only he could save me, and no matter who else I went to, it would be useless."
"I was stunned at the time and couldn't believe it. After confirming it again and again, I stormed out in anger."
"Then, I asked someone to find Elder Qin to take my pulse, and he recommended me to you."
Gao Fu took a sip of water from his teacup and continued, "After returning from your visit, Dr. Yu, and having it confirmed that I had esophageal cancer, my family, friends, and doctors have all urged me to undergo surgery as soon as possible to prevent the cancer from growing and worsening."
"After examining my heart, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with it. He also said that removing the esophageal cancer would be a minor operation that would take no more than an hour."
Gao Fu shook his head gently and sighed, "Doctor Yu, to be honest, I was a little shaken at the time, and then I went to see Elder Qin again."
"Old Qin told me that you have a very special talent. Your subtle perception of the body is unmatched. It's best for me to follow your medical advice."
"From that day on, I closed my door to visitors and focused on taking care of my heart and body."
Gao Fu said with some fear: "If I hadn't been able to hold on at that time, I might have died during the operation due to heart problems, and thus once again fulfilled the name of Yama's Hand."
He said a little embarrassedly, "After surviving the Lantern Festival and reappearing in front of outsiders, I was angry at Yan Luoshou's greed, so I had someone spread this matter quietly."
"If I do this, it might put you, Doctor Yu, at odds with the Chu family. The reason Yan Luoshou dares to charge such a high medical fee is because he is confident that no one else can do it except himself."
“But, Dr. Yu, you did it too.”
"This means that Yan Luoshou's ability is no longer unique, and it loses the basis for demanding a high price."
The next moment, Gao Fu stood up and bowed, saying, "Doctor Yu, I'm sorry. I may have caused you trouble."
Yu Zhiming said nonchalantly, "It's okay! Doctors should take curing illnesses and saving lives as their mission. It's only natural for them to earn a reasonable salary, but they shouldn't ask for outrageous remuneration."
He was quite pleased with the remuneration.
Although more than one person paid Yu Zhiming hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of seemingly unreasonable excess remuneration.
However, he can say with a clear conscience that he did not ask for it actively, but the patients gave it to him voluntarily.
Rather than calling it a reward, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a token of appreciation or gratitude.
Gao Fu said happily, "I knew that you, Doctor Yu, are not only an exceptional doctor, but also a man of high moral character. You can't stand someone using their medical skills to demand excessive amounts of money."
Yu Zhiming said modestly: "I'm not as good as you say. My fee level is unaffordable for many ordinary people."
Gao Fu complimented him, "Your high fees are not only due to your unparalleled medical skills, but also determined by the relationship between supply and demand."
"And that one just asked for it all."
Gao Fu said angrily, "Doctor Yu, you don't know that after I spread the news, I received feedback from some people."
"Before me, they were also asked for exorbitant medical fees, ranging from two to three million to ten to twenty million."
Yu Zhiming just said "oh" lightly without making any comment.
Judging from Gao Fu's situation, the traditional Chinese medical expert known as Yama's Hand did not deliberately intimidate him by asking for a high price.
He did discover a physical problem that was fatal.
For these wealthy people, spending millions, or even tens of millions, to exchange for a life is actually not a loss.
The thing that Yan Luoshou was criticized for was that he directly discussed the high treatment fees before the treatment.
This gives people a sense of coercion by raising the price.
As Yu Zhiming was sighing in his heart, Gao Fu's voice rang in his ears again.
"Doctor Yu, just yesterday, someone contacted me through a friend and said they had also been notified of a life-or-death catastrophe by Yama's men, and they asked for 10 million yuan for treatment."
"He also left in a rage."
"He had several well-known Chinese and Western medicine experts examine him, but they couldn't find anything."
"On the one hand, he thought it was Yan Luoshou who was deceiving him, but on the other hand, he was also very nervous and worried. After all, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree, and Yan Luoshou's medical skills are also well-known."
"Doctor Yu, could you spare some time from your busy schedule to examine him?"
this……
Under the current circumstances, the person Gao Fu mentioned would be in direct confrontation with Yan Luoshou.
Even if Yu Zhiming had no such intention, he would inevitably be instigated and add fuel to the fire by those who like to watch the fun.
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and agreed.
It is not a bad thing to have a competitor with similar medical skills. We can learn from each other and promote each other.
Honestly, with the continuous success and compliments from all sides, Yu Zhiming really felt a bit like a lone warrior seeking victory. He needed some new stimulation...
After seeing Gao Fu off, Yu Zhiming made some preparations and started today's outpatient work.
His medical consultation today was quite grand.
In addition to Zhou Mo and Wang Li, Qin Qiushi, Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi, and Duan Yi all came to his side.
According to what Yu Zhiming said last week, Qin Qiushi, Zhou Luo and others can choose one of today's outpatient patients to be responsible for the other person's further diagnosis and treatment.
Aside from Doctor Qin Qiushi, who remained as steady as a rock, Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, and the other four were rubbing their hands in anticipation, their faces filled with impatience...
