Chapter 176 Betting on Human Life(1/2)
In the ICU, there are only visiting hours around 4 p.m.
Family members are not allowed in at other times.
Moreover, many times the patient may be under emergency treatment, in which case the opportunity for family members to visit the patient will be cancelled.
Therefore, family members generally cherish this rare visit.
People like this who take notes everywhere with a notebook look very suspicious.
Xu Qiu went to the ICU nurse and asked about this person's condition.
"He has been here many times. He seems to be a family member of Bed Seven," the nurse said.
Xu Qiu frowned.
After he finished dealing with Ma Pingchuan's side, he went to find Seven Beds.
Qi Bed is a retired veteran cadre who has been living in the ICU for more than a month and is almost in a vegetative state.
There was a hint of contempt in the nurse's tone, and she said: "His sons are really not human beings. This patient is reimbursed by the state, and his daily expenses are more than 10,000 yuan, and he only needs to pay a dozen yuan. But his retirement salary adds up to more than 30,000 yuan."
, so his children refused to let him die."
Every month, more than three hundred yuan is spent hanging on the old man's life.
The children can receive a pension of more than 30,000 yuan.
Xu Qiu was speechless.
This is the ugly side of ICU.
He looked up to look for the person with the notebook. He didn't pay attention for a few minutes. He had been writing and reading outside several wards for a long time.
When he saw the instruments in a ward began to make a piercing alarm sound, and the various blood vessels connected to the whole body began to gush out bright red blood, he suddenly raised his head, a trace of excitement and madness flashed in his eyes.
Xu Qiu frowned.
This kind of behavior cannot be a family member!
"quick!!"
"Something happened to bed 13, prepare for rescue!"
At the same time, the moment the alarm was called, well-trained personnel from the ICU rushed to the bedside to start rescue operations.
It is still a bit difficult to die in the ICU.
On the other side, after seeing that the patient was saved, the man bit open the cap of his pen again, recorded something, and then prepared to leave in frustration.
Seeing this scene, Xu Qiu suddenly had a terrible idea.
He directly called the security department.
"Here in the ICU, a man with a notebook will go out in a while. Please keep him here."
…
More than ten minutes later, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out outside the ICU.
Xu Qiu rushed over and saw several security guards restraining the man from before. The latter looked ferocious and was struggling desperately.
There is a scattered notebook not far away.
"There is indeed a problem."
Xu Qiu sighed softly.
He told the security guard to try not to cause violent conflicts.
If the other party is really a family member, he can just cooperate with the security guard in talking to him. How could there be such a violent reaction?
Xu Qiu walked over and picked up the notebook.
At this moment, the man who had given up resistance suddenly shouted violently again, his voice like a wild beast roaring: "Don't touch my notebook! It's my privacy! You are bullying people, the hospital is bullying people, come and help me."
!”
At this time, Xu Qiu opened his notebook.
When he saw the content recorded above, he was shocked and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"August 7th.
Linhai First Hospital ICU, 1 bed.
Live 3 days. Odds 8.50:1.36
Live 10 days. Odds 3.60:2.20
Number of rescues:

Time of Death Betting:

August 9…
Result: 1 bed survived for 7 days, rescued 4 times, time of death: August 14th.”
…
On the crumpled notebook, a bunch of times and numbers were recorded in a messy manner.
ICU cannot carry mobile phones, so he chose this method.
The more Xu Qiu looked through it, the colder his expression became.
This is a score sheet for gamblers.
only,
The score is the patient's number of rescues, survival time, and death day.
The bet is the patient's life!
Xu Qiu stood there.
Even though he had witnessed too much evil in human nature in his two lifetimes, he still had an unreal feeling when encountering this kind of thing.
Is this... really the human world?
Why would someone risk their life?
"Let him go. He's a lunatic. He wrote in a mess."
Suddenly, Xu Qiu threw the notebook back in front of the man and said to the security guard.
The next moment, the man felt his body loosen up and was freed from his restraints. He quickly grabbed his notebook and ran away.
Xu Qiu did not let the security guard chase him.
A notebook...if it calls the police, what's the use?
With the man's ruthlessness, even if he is caught, as long as he refuses to admit it, the police will not be able to do anything to him.
After all, it's not a crime to write these things in a notebook.
Xu Qiu looked at the direction in which the man was leaving.
On the last few pages of the notebook, he saw large patient records.
And these patients are not from Linhai No. 1 Hospital.
Nor is it a top three with a name.
Xu Qiu even wanted to know where these patients were.
…
"Have there been any unusually discharged patients recently?"
In the office, Director Jiang was a little confused when faced with Xu Qiu's question.
Why do you suddenly ask this?
After thinking for a long time, Director Jiang said: "Yes, there is. Three days ago, bed 13 was taken away directly. We emphasized to the family members that if they were not in the ICU, the patient might not survive this week. In fact, this is not too abnormal.
, here in the ICU, many family members give up treatment because of money."
Xu Qiu nodded and asked, "Can you tell me more about this patient's condition?"
Director Jiang said: "He is a patient with chronic renal failure and has reached the stage of uremia. His family originally said that he planned to transition to the ICU and wait for a kidney source, but one day he suddenly said he wanted to be discharged."
"Is there anything unusual about the family?"
"Abnormal? It seems a bit strange. The family members seem to be very concerned about how long the patient can last. I made it clear to the family members that they don't have to worry about dying on the road. They can live for at least three or four days."
Xu Qiu nodded silently.
