Chapter 2687 Liu Ziyi is making stupid mistakes again

"Director Yin!" Qin Wenbin took the elevator to the 10th floor neurosurgery department.

"Come, come, Wenbin, sit down and have a couple of cups of tea. This is all new tea from this year; a friend specially mailed it to me from southern Fujian."

Director Yin greeted them warmly.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Wenbin wouldn't care about these kinds of social interactions, but the situation is different now.

After sitting down on the sofa, he immediately adopted a businesslike demeanor: "Director Yin, I won't have any tea. Let's get straight to the point. I didn't quite catch what you said on the phone. Is this patient related to our cardiac surgery department?"

"Old Qin, Old Tao has gone out for training, and you're in charge of the cardiac surgery department now, so if anything comes up, it'll just be the two of us who have to discuss it!"

Director Yin handed over the brewed teacup with an incredibly humble attitude.

Upon seeing this, Qin Wenbin's alarm bells went off instantly. Combining the information from the phone call earlier, it was clear that this was a trap.

"Excuse me, Director Yin, may I interrupt you for a moment?"

"We can't discuss this between the two of us. Technology is so advanced these days. If something really happens, you should have a conference call with Director Tao directly!"

He doesn't want to take the blame!

"We'll talk about that later!" Director Yin chuckled.

At the same time, he immediately changed the subject. "Let me first inform you about a patient's condition!"

Qin Wenbin looked at the documents handed to him as he was introducing himself.

"This patient, Yang Guowei, used to work in construction. He suddenly fell from the scaffolding while working and suffered injuries of varying degrees, with the most severe being brain damage!"

"The surgery was performed at a lower-level hospital, but you know the surgical conditions there are not good. Also, the contractor was probably afraid of spending more money, which resulted in a poor surgical procedure and recovery!"

"According to some data from the postoperative CT scan, some of the intracranial drainage was not completely removed. The blood clots not only did not shrink but actually grew larger. Those people are simply ripping us off!"

"You're not capable of performing surgery on people, and you even brought them here after the surgery. It's obvious you're just trying to shirk responsibility!" Director Yin couldn't help but complain a couple of times, and then probably realized that it might not have been appropriate for him to say such things.

He chuckled to cover his embarrassment: "Sometimes we have no choice. You know, patients can't afford the surgery fees right now, so according to regulations, we can only provide basic life-sustaining treatment!"

"The patient is indeed in a very bad situation. His family is not well-off and simply cannot afford the medical expenses. The construction site there is now making it clear that they don't want to take responsibility and are saying they would rather go to court than pay the medical expenses!"

"What are we going to do about this?"

"Uh... Director Yin, I'm really sorry, but according to the information, it's a neurosurgery disease. This is a completely different field and has nothing to do with cardiology, right?" Qin Wenbin wasn't taking the bait at all.

As I said before, you can sympathize in a hospital, but you absolutely cannot empathize. There are too many pitiful people in the entire Jianghai City First People's Hospital. If Qin Wenbin wanted to manage them, he probably wouldn't be able to manage them even with 10 billion yuan.

“Normally, this has nothing to do with cardiac surgery!” Director Yin pushed up his glasses, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes. “But the patient’s attending physician is Ziyi.”

"He said the patient seemed to have some heart problems, which was probably due to organ damage during the fall, but the lower-level hospital couldn't detect it!"

"So we have no choice but to call our cardiac surgery department to take a look. I know this situation is quite difficult to handle, so let's discuss it properly and see what a good solution we can find!"

"Director Yin, that's not very ethical!" Qin Wenbin looked at him with a half-smile, because this guy was speaking in a high-sounding manner, but it was obvious that he wanted to drag someone down with him.

"Director Qin, I have no choice but to help. Ziyi... the patient is lying on my bed right now!" Director Yin adopted a very humble posture as she picked up the small teapot and added water to her cup.

"Director Yin, what does the neurosurgery department mean by that?"

"Director Liu's point is that we can't just stand by and watch someone die, but the patient doesn't have a single penny in their account. I've also negotiated with the medical affairs department, but Director Xiong said that there's really no way to make an exception in this situation!"

"Because you know that our neurosurgery director Liu is very dedicated, I don't like him at all in the medical affairs department. I made it clear that if this continues, all the expenses will have to be paid by the department, and if the funds are not enough, the medical staff will have to share the cost!" "If this is really done, then this director simply cannot be a director. He will be drowned in the spittle of those medical staff~" Director Yin became more and more agitated as he spoke.

"Old Zhang, your son has leukemia and you're working tirelessly day and night. Are you really going to let someone else pay for it?"

"And there's Nurse Zhang, who has been working diligently for so many years, with four elderly people to support!"

"Let's go see the patient first!" Qin Wenbin wanted to determine whether the patient had a heart problem; if so, then they could discuss the next steps.

If it's not related to cardiac surgery, then I'm sorry.
I had just reached the door of the ward.

"Ziyi, oh, perfect timing! Director Qin is here to see that Yang... Guowei. He's your patient. You can take Wenbin over. I have a meeting!" Director Yin was as slippery as an eel.

Qin Wenbin couldn't let him get away like that.

"Director Yin, what meeting? I don't know anything about it. You can't take me for a fool!"

"No ..."

"Hey, you two grown men, can you stop dawdling around like that?"

"Hurry up!" Liu Ziyi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Director Yin was so angry he was grinding his teeth. You're quite the good guy, but you got a real dressing down from the medical department.

The patient didn't pay a single penny of medical fees, so according to regulations, she could only receive routine basic treatment. But as a result, she received whatever treatment she was supposed to receive, and the medical affairs department didn't care at all. There was no other way but to use the department's own funds.

This is all bonus money for medical staff. If this matter is dragged on and not resolved, and if the funds are used to treat patients, by the end of the month, my ancestors for eight generations will not have a moment's peace. People will be cursing me to death!
Upon entering the ward, Qin Wenbin couldn't help but frown, because the smell was indeed quite unpleasant.

The patient had fallen into a deep coma and looked particularly pitiful lying on the bed. The injured area had even begun to ulcerate, which was clearly due to a botched surgery.

"Director Yin, this won't do. We need to call the lower-level hospitals. We can't let them make the money and then we have to take the blame!"

"Who says otherwise? Director Qin, you've reminded me. I need to call Dean Zhao right away!" Director Yin was looking for an opportunity to run away again.

"Old Yin!"

"Uh... we can fight later!"

Qin Wenbin carefully examined the patient. The wound was close to the heart and had indeed suffered some damage. Without some experience, it would have been difficult to notice, which is why the lower-level hospital did not write it in the report.

Nowadays, most of the highly skilled doctors work in top-tier hospitals, while the rest are a mixed bag of seasoned veterans who just coast along, or newbies who didn't get a PhD and just found any job.

"Hey, can you two chief doctors stop dawdling? What are we going to do? The patient's condition can't be delayed any longer, we need to arrange surgery immediately!" Liu Ziyi's fiery temper started to get out of control again.

Qin Wenbin turned and glanced at her.

Well, this guy is doing something stupid again!

She's doing a great job as a nurse, but we also have to consider the overall situation. If it's possible to save someone, who wouldn't want to?

The upper lip touching the lower lip sounds nice, but how are medical expenses arranged? Several hundred thousand yuan is spread across the department per person?

One or two cases are one thing, we can just say it's a good deed and an act of kindness, but not being able to work for a fee for so long is unacceptable. Everyone has elderly parents and young children to support, and their whole family is waiting to be fed.
