Chapter 521: Anger
Suddenly, someone interjected, "Who can you blame? You didn't want to come earlier, so we all queued up here in the middle of the night to get a consultation number. Who doesn't come here for a complicated illness? If it was a common consultation number, for a cold or a headache, we could give it to you. We've all been ill for a long time and haven't had a doctor, so why should we give it up?"
"That's right, you're the only one who's miserable. Aren't all families equally miserable when they're sick?"
The middle-aged man raised his head and glared, "You're talking nonsense! This is totally unfair! I didn't get a spot for one or two days, and I accepted it. But the next two days, I saw a lot of people lining up, secretly selling their appointments to others. I'm from another place, and I'm poor, so I can't afford a number. But I saw that several of you bought your numbers, and that's unfair!"
The middle-aged man said this and pointed at several people.
The people being pointed at blushed and shouted, "You're talking nonsense! You bastard from out of town! I was the one who lined up this morning. I lined up myself..."
"What do you mean by buying a number? I've never heard of it... You must be crazy. You can't get in line yourself, and you're here to lash out at others. Who do you blame for not being able to get treatment? And you want us to be unable to get treatment too? If you have the guts, why don't you ask Doctor Jiang to add a number for you? You're dragging us down with you. Your father's life is more important than our family's!"
"That's right, people from other places are really evil. No wonder his father got sick. He deserves it. If a wicked person dies of illness, that's all..."
…
These people joined together to curse the middle-aged man, who was from another place and only had one mouth.
How can I scold so many people?
For a moment, there was no word to say.
Liao Jiu frowned and said to the servant who was in charge of issuing medical numbers, "Do you still remember who you gave the medical numbers to this morning?"
Every day, the appointments at Jiang's Medical Clinic were issued by the servant who ran errands for him.
When he was at the Six Gates, he always used the civil servants of the Six Gates to run errands. After returning to the mansion, he used the people in the mansion.
The servant bit his lip and said ashamedly, "Master, I don't remember it very clearly. At dawn this morning, there were already many people lining up here. We couldn't see who was who, so we just distributed the food to the person at the front, thinking that they were probably the patients' family members, so we didn't check carefully..."
After hearing this, those people became even more confident and said, "Yes, we got the medical number from this young man. We are all the patients' family members who come to queue up. We are sick and want to get a consultation, but there is no way to get one, right?"
"Outsider, do you hear me? When you come to our great capital, you must tell the truth. We have the true dragon emperor protecting us here, so you can't lie to me."
"I think he deliberately didn't get a number, deliberately letting his father die early. Wouldn't it be one less burden if he died? He's putting on a show here..."
The middle-aged man was so angry that he was about to be attacked.
His father was trembling all over and couldn't speak. He tried to raise his finger and point it at the evil people who scolded his son, but he didn't have the strength to lift his finger. His face looked grim, his whole body was twitching, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
The middle-aged man collapsed and cried, "Dad!!!"
Those who had attacked the father and son just now became quiet after seeing how infuriating they were.
Liao Jiu quickly stepped forward and, while trying to save the patient, said to the servant, "Go get Doctor Jiang, hurry up."
"yes."
Liao Jiu has been following Jiang Lianzhu for so long that he knows some basic first aid knowledge.
Soon, Jiang Lianzhu trotted out of the clinic.
"What's going on?" She had just heard the commotion inside. She didn't know what had happened, and since she had to see a patient, she didn't have time to come out.
Liao Jiu moved aside with his tall figure, revealing the thin body of an old man in a wheelchair. When Jiang Lianzhu saw this situation, she was shocked.
She immediately stopped questioning, asked everyone to step back, and started saving people.
While evacuating the crowd, Liao Jiu briefly explained what had just happened.
The middle-aged man had cried himself silly. Jiang Lianzhu thought he was in the way and pushed him aside.
After some first aid, the old man sighed and slowly woke up.
The middle-aged man knelt down in front of him, crying and laughing, "Dad! Dad!! I have been without a mother since I was a child, and you have worked hard to raise me. I haven't found you a wife yet, and I haven't given birth to some big fat kids for you to look after. You must not die so early!"
He turned around and kowtowed to Jiang Lianzhu, "Thank you, Doctor Jiang, for saving my father's life... Thank you, Doctor Jiang..."
Jiang Lianzhu said in a deep voice, "Your father's condition is complicated and requires further diagnosis and treatment. Please take him to the clinic. I'll give you an extra number today. Come in and we can talk."
This time, the middle-aged man was moved beyond words.
It is really painful to seek medical treatment everywhere when you are sick.
I have suffered all kinds of grievances, run around, slept in the open air, and watched my dearest family members suffer from illness. I am tired physically and even more tired mentally.
There were thousands of words of thanks to express, but at this moment, not a single word could be uttered as they were stuck in my throat.
He quickly pushed his father in the wheelchair and followed Jiang Lianzhu into the clinic.
A lot of people were watching the fun.
Some people are envious, some are unhappy, and some have expressions of deep contemplation...
There were only about a dozen people in the queue, and with the commotion just now, there were crowds of people coming from all directions to watch the excitement.
Liao Jiu noticed that among those people, there were a few who looked familiar. They often wandered around this area and could often be seen at the entrance of the clinic...
He seemed to understand something.
Maybe there really is a loophole in their management.
This led to what happened today.
Liao Jiu turned around and glared at the servant who gave the orders. The servant knew he had made a big mistake. He felt weak in his heart, his legs and feet became weak, and he hung his head low.
Jiang Lianzhu went inside to treat the old man in the wheelchair and did not let Liao Jiu follow her, which meant that she did not need his help.
Liao Jiu handles things outside.
He said to everyone around him, "Everyone, today's incident was caused by improper management of our Jiang's Clinic. This old man's consultation fee is free of charge, and we've given him an extra number as compensation. From now on, our clinic will strictly crack down on such practices as queuing for others or buying and selling consultation numbers."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people in the crowd became dissatisfied.
"Listen to that stranger's nonsense. There's no such thing as buying and selling medical numbers. Usually, it's family members who queue up on their behalf..."
"that is……"
Liao Jiu looked over and saw that the people who were protesting were the ones who often hung around in this area.
He had a better idea of what was going on.
"Our clinic has been open for less than a month, and many things are still incomplete. This has allowed some people to take advantage of this loophole, which is completely unacceptable. From today on, anyone queuing must be a direct family member of the patient. Substitutes queuing on behalf of others will not count. Names, addresses, and relationships with patients must be registered. If anyone is found to be reselling our clinic's appointments, both parties will have their permanent right to receive treatment here permanently revoked! No ambiguity! We are a clinic, a place to save lives, not a place for people to seek personal gain. We reserve the right to hold those who have previously sold appointments accountable."
