Chapter 617 The doctor wears gloves, why should I pay?

“Report the cost of surgery!”

The director of brain surgery breathed a sigh of relief.

All surgical expenses can be traced back to the source, and there is no possibility of any mistakes on the part of the hospital.

“What’s the problem with the cost?”

The director of brain surgery then asked: "We have already discussed with you before the operation. If it is an ordinary craniotomy and clipping operation, the cost of the operation is about 10,000, but the trauma is large and the patient's physical condition is already very bad.

The money spent on hospitalization and prognosis may exceed two hundred thousand.

“But if it is interventional embolization, since imported micro-aneurysm clips are used, the cost is around 5,000 yuan each, and a total of three are used... plus other interventional instruments, materials, etc., the total cost of the operation is 4,000 yuan.

Seven thousand.

"We have listed every chargeable item according to your requirements. Are there any questions?"

The family members ignored the director of brain surgery and went straight to Xu Qiu: "Doctor Xu, you have to provide us with justice!"

"Well, tell me what's unreasonable." Xu Qiu said.

It seems that the family members don't trust Greentown No. 1 Hospital... Fortunately, his reputation can still keep things under control.

"Right here!"

Looking along the family member's fingers, Xu Qiu noticed the items at the bottom of the list. What the family member marked was "disposable surgical gloves".

"What's the problem with this?" Xu Qiu didn't understand.

The family members asked angrily: "What are these gloves for? Why are they so expensive?"

"The material of sterile gloves is also quite special, and the hospital uses imported products..." Xu Qiu explained.

"That's what it says, but why are there seven pairs? Can he wear so many gloves?"

"Um?"

Xu Qiu was stunned for a moment, what is the problem?

The family members reacted immediately and quickly asked: "Wait a minute, why do you need to wear gloves?"

"You must wear sterile gloves during surgery."

"You wear it or he wears it?" The family member pointed to the patient on the bed.

Xu Qiu vaguely felt something was wrong and said, "Doctor Dai."

The family members patted their thighs: "That's right. Why should we pay for the gloves your doctors wear?"

At this moment, the entire intensive care unit was silent.

Didi didi——

Various life instruments were running, while the doctors stared with big eyes and small eyes, their expressions showed confusion, and seemed to have a hint of understanding.

It seems... makes sense?



There was silence in the ward for a few seconds. The director of brain surgery was the first to react. He suppressed his anger and said: "According to regulations, sterile gloves must be worn during surgery, otherwise the patient will become infected and the surgery will be more dangerous."

If he wasn't afraid of causing trouble, the director would have wanted to directly ask, "Then I won't wear gloves to perform the surgery and let's see how long it takes for the patient to die."

The family members were quite reluctant and continued to ask: "Then why are there no charges for surgical gowns?"

"It's also collected. They are all included in the disposable surgical supplies, which is what you mentioned above." The director of the brain surgery department explained while suppressing his emotions.

"Let me tell you, isn't this because the charges are not transparent? How come your doctors have to pay for the clothes and gloves they wear?" The family members made the final complaint, as if they had grasped the handle.

After a pause, he continued: "I will only pay for what Dr. Xu did, and you doctors will pay for the rest!"

Xu Qiu finally completed the examination at this time... The patient's condition was much better than expected. He had woken up last night and could try to resume his diet at noon today. Except for the parts that had been irreversibly damaged before the operation, there were almost no sequelae.

Moreover, the surgical damage is reduced by 50%. It can be said that no one can do it better than Xu Qiu.

"Disposable consumables..."

While Xu Qiu was inspecting, he was also paying attention to the complaints from family members. At first, he was prepared for it, but when he heard what happened later, he suddenly felt a little pity for Greentown No. 1 Hospital.

I have to say that the director of brain surgery’s initial concerns were reasonable.

Even though the patient was rescued and showed an incredible speed of recovery, his family members still made things difficult for him in every possible way.

If Xu Qiu had not intervened and let people from Greentown No. 1 Hospital perform the surgery, even if the patient did not die, he would have spent two to three hundred thousand in the ICU, and the patient would probably lose the ability to take care of himself...

At that time, the charge will no longer be questioned, but the department director and the surgeon will have to go to court at least three or four times.

"this……"

Xu Qiu interrupted the family members and explained: "The charges at Greentown No. 1 Hospital are reasonable. If you go to any hospital, you will be charged for disposable consumables."

The family member's eyes widened and he said angrily: "In other words, all hospitals are equally dark?"

"..."

Xu Qiu suddenly felt like a scholar meeting a soldier.

However, after so many years of self-cultivation, he still maintained a faint smile and said calmly: "During the operation, the biggest risk is infection. Whether it is surgical gowns or sterile gloves, the purpose is to avoid infection as much as possible.

"Doctors wear these things to protect patients. Essentially, it is the patient's need, not the doctor's willingness to wear them.

"The most important point is that if you don't wear gloves and are unwilling to spend more than ten yuan, then you can choose to spend hundreds of thousands more for subsequent anti-infective treatment."

It doesn't matter whether these words convinced the family, but Xu Qiu's last sentence clearly frightened them.

Money is the truth that these people believe in. A dozen dollars can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands, and even something black can become white.

"That's it..." The family members were terrified.

The director of brain surgery sighed silently.

Fortunately, Xu Qiu is here...

If the family hadn't trusted Xu Qiu, this matter would never have been resolved so easily. If they had been left to deal with it, there would have been no results without procrastination for a few days.

Family members who can even ask "Why does the doctor have to pay for wearing gloves?" are not like people who are easy to talk to.

"Huh..." Others in the Green City First Hospital also let out a deep breath.

Fortunately, the patient is recovering well. If he had died on the stage, or if he hadn't woken up yet, he would have been in a state of constant restlessness for several months after he was admitted to the hospital!



After the ward rounds, the doctors at Greentown No. 1 Hospital all returned to their posts.

Xu Qiu went back to the hotel to make courseware for the afternoon lecture.

"It's finally done..."

More than three hours later, a relaxed smile appeared on Xu Qiu's face.

Buzz——

It was at this moment that the phone vibrated.

The caller is Wang Shengde.

"Dean." Xu Qiu answered the phone.

"Haha, am I bothering you?" Over the past month, Wang Shengde's voice has become more than ten years younger, with a brisk tone.

"I just finished my work...is there anything you can do?"

Wang Shengde knows that he is very busy, so he usually doesn't call.

"Yes, of course there is. When you were at Affiliated One, did you rescue a patient and perform brainstem hematoma removal surgery?"
