Chapter 755: [755] Donât think you can fool a doctor Chapter 755: [755] Donât think you can fool a doctor âAlright, Iâll tell you now, so listen carefully. Her condition is very serious; she needs to go inside right away to lie down and receive oxygen. Iâll find a bed for her and arrange for tests. If thereâs a bed available in the ward, sheâll be admitted to the hospital immediately,â Doctor Lin said without wasting any more words with the patientâs family.
After hearing this, Father Lili was anxious and grabbed the doctorâs hand, âWeâre not staying in the hospital. Just prescribe some anti-nausea medication so she can stop vomiting and go back to school. Thatâll be enough.â
âThis illness didnât just crop up overnight. What are you planning to do by bringing her to the hospital?â Doctor Lin confronted the family member.
This guy, did he think he could fool a doctor?
Heart valve disease, non-acute myocardial infarction, is not sudden; it worsens over time. The girlâs condition is serious, and she very likely has been treated in other hospitals before. The family must know what the patient is suffering from, unless the family never allows the patient to get tested. As a minor, the patient could only get tested with the familyâs consent.
Exposed by the doctor, Father Lili was infuriated with embarrassment, âItâs all you doctors who are saying this, one moment you say itâs not serious, the next itâs serious. What am I supposed to do?â
âIâm just going to ask you this, she might die if sheâs not hospitalized, will you let her stay in the hospital?â Doctor Lin said.
Father Liliâs lips quivered, âI, I need to call home and ask.â
Call home? Isnât he her father?
âHow do I know your hospital isnât just trying to scam me, staying in the hospital costs money,â Father Lili cursed as he prepared to make a call.
The doctors at Guoxie Association Hospital donât need to scam patients to admit them. Clearly, this patientâs family member doesnât want to treat their daughter.
The cruelest things in the world happen in hospitals every day. The seeming apathy of medical staff is often because they have seen too much and are left with nothing to say. When patients want to be treated and survive, but their families are unwilling to pay, and if the patients themselves cannot afford the treatment, most of them ultimately pass away untreated. Some family members even turn around and blame the doctors. This Father Lili doesnât seem to be an exception, which is why he insisted on claiming that the doctors here said his daughterâs condition wasnât serious.
Seeing that the childâs father was unreliable, Xie Wanying whispered into the girlâs ear, âWhereâs your mother?â
âMy mother is dead,â Ma Yunli answered the doctor with difficulty.
Father Lili, hearing this, turned around and glared at his daughter, saying to the two doctors, âDonât listen to her nonsense, she has a mother.â
One claims she has no mother, the other insists his daughter has a mother.
âReally, Iâll have her mother come over,â Father Lili said as he called his wife.
The situation was odd. Xie Wanying continued to whisper close to the girlâs ear, âYou can tell me whatâs going on.â
Ma Yunli turned her head and looked at the doctor with effort, her eyes filled with a touch of disbelief, not trusting that someone actually seemed to be willing to help her proactively. Once other people found out this man was her father, they all became too scared to involve themselves with her matters.
âItâs okay, you can tell me, I wonât spread it around,â Xie Wanying assured the girl.
âStep-mother,â Ma Yunli uttered these two words with difficulty, grasping the fabric of her chest, her body trembling slightly.
While supporting the girl, Xie Wanying quietly pulled back the school uniform on the girlâs back and, with the help of the sunlight, she saw two bruises on the patientâs back. Her brows furrowed tightly. Turning back, she softly called out, âTeacher Lin.â
