Chapter 018: A Sky-High Medical Bill of 40,000 Yuan, a Typical Case of a Fool and Their Money!
Xiao Wo is a hand model who relies on her hands for a living.
Her usual work involves wearing various pieces of jewelry and posing for magazine covers for brand owners.
Opportunities for this kind of work in Jin City are already scarce, and the competition is fierce.
To gain an overwhelming advantage over her peers, Xiao Wo has always put a lot of effort into caring for her hands.
Face masks, pearl cream SPAs, professional hand care, etc. — she tries almost every treatment that's beneficial for hand maintenance... Just yesterday.
While attending a product launch held by a jewelry brand.
Because thehollowing out bracelet design was rather small, and she was about to showcase the next piece of jewelry.
She used too much force when removing the bracelet, resulting in a 3-centimeter-long cut on the back of her hand.
Xiao Wo was terrified and cried on the spot!
For someone who relies on her hands for a living, such a large scar on the back of her hand meant her livelihood was ruined.
Fortunately, the brand owner took it very seriously.
As soon as Xiao Wo was injured, they immediately contacted the best Meihan Plastic Surgery in Jin City.
They also instructed the most skilled suturing doctor at the plastic surgery Hospital to ensure her hand was sutured to the best possible condition.
After rushing to Meihan Plastic Surgery and completing the suturing, Xiao Wo looked at her relatively flat hand and finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
According to the doctor's advice, as long as she purchased the most effective scar removal product from the plastic surgery Hospital.
Three months later, Xiao Wo's hand could almost return to its original state.
Each box of scar removal medicine cost 10,000 yuan, and to fully recover, she needed to complete four courses of treatment.
Although Xiao Wo had to take out a loan to afford the 40,000 yuan scar removal medicine.
But for the sake of her hard-won job, Xiao Wo gritted her teeth and bought it... Who would have thought!
While scrolling through her best friend's chat group records last night.
Xiao Wo saw a video of a doctor named Lin Yi at Central Hospital performing emergency suturing for a patient.
After carefully studying the video several times, Xiao Wo grew increasingly frustrated.
Under the hands of this doctor named Lin Yi, wounds countless times more terrifying than the one on her hand.
Not only was the suturing speed many times faster than her plastic surgeon.
And after suturing, if you didn't look closely, you couldn't even tell that there had been a terrifying wound there.
Unlike the wound on her hand, which looked like a crooked centipede, as ugly as could be.
What made Xiao Wo even more confused was that Doctor Lin in the video actually said!
As long as the patient was careful with their wound care for a week, there wouldn't even be a possibility of scarring.
As for scar removal medicine, that was even more out of the question.
Only at the patient's strong insistence did Doctor Lin reluctantly prescribe some anti-inflammatory medicine costing a few yuan... Her own hand's scar removal was not only a lengthy process but also required a sky-high medical bill of 40,000 yuan.
It was the same suturing, but for others, it only cost a few yuan and they could recover in just over a week.
Hadn't she become a typical example of a fool and their money!
What's more, this money was borrowed by Xiao Wo through online loans, incurring high interest and handling fees.
The more she compared, the more depressed Xiao Wo became, almost to the point of spitting blood!
She became even more determined to find the doctor from the video to have her wound re-sutured.
Therefore.
That's why after waking up this morning.
Xiao Wo immediately came to the Central Hospital Emergency Department to register... When she stated that she absolutely had to have Doctor Lin personally re-suture her wound.
The Nurse at the triage desk began checking records and made every excuse, saying Doctor Lin was currently unavailable for treatment.
Xiao Wo immediately exploded, directly causing a scene at the triage desk.
This was a lifelong matter concerning whether she could continue to work in the future, and 40,000 yuan in real money could also be easily saved.
No matter what, she had to get the suturing redone today.
Even an ordinary person knows that if she delays any longer, once the wound starts to heal.
Even if Doctor Lin's medical skills were superb, he would be powerless to help!
..."Doctor Lin, Doctor Lin, you're finally here."
"The Nurses at your Hospital are too much; they kept stopping me from seeing you."
"As a patient, I'm asking for my wound to be re-sutured, that's not too much, is it...?"
When the door of the Emergency Department opened.
Xiao Wo, who was blocking the doorway, saw Lin Yi walking out.
She rushed forward immediately, beginning to complain incessantly.
The Nurses were using their authority to stall her for over an hour.
She had to get someone in charge to give her justice.
"Uh..." Lin Yi looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of him, his mind racing.
But no matter how he tried to recall.
He just couldn't remember any possibility of having met this person yesterday.
"Hello, is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"Are you sure your wound was treated in our Emergency Department yesterday?"
Lin Yi asked cautiously.
Even if the patient remembered the wrong doctor who treated the wound, as long as it was handled by the Emergency Department, they had to be responsible to the end.
"Misunderstanding!" Xiao Wo's face flushed slightly, and she continued to argue forcefully.
"Are you called Lin Yi, and are you an Emergency Department Doctor?"
"If so, then there's no misunderstanding."
"No matter what, you must help me re-suture today!"
If she admitted now that her wound was sutured at a plastic surgery Hospital.
These doctors would have a reason to refuse to re-suture her.
They might even come up with a bunch of excuses to put her off.
To ensure that Doctor Lin would suture her today, Xiao Wo even specifically searched on Baidu for relevant coping strategies.
So at this moment, she had to insist that it was Doctor Lin Yi who treated her wound yesterday.
"Have you looked enough?"
"Does no one want to see a doctor anymore?"
Lu Chenxi stepped forward with a grim face, shouting at the crowd gathered around the triage desk.
Then, she spoke to Xiao Wo as gently as possible.
"Hello, madam, let's go inside to discuss what's going on."
"Isn't it just re-suturing?"
"I am Lin Yi's teacher, if you are willing, I can help you re-suture the wound."
From today on, Lin Yi was Lu Chenxi's official student.
And just now in the operating room, he had also helped her a great deal.
Now that her student was in trouble, she, as his teacher, couldn't just stand by.
Lu Chenxi's immediate solution was simple: minimize the big issues and resolve the small ones.
If the matter escalated, it would definitely affect Lin Yi's future.
"You Nurses really should learn from your leaders."
"How much better it would have been to just handle it earlier, then there wouldn't have been any trouble!"
As Xiao Wo entered the Emergency Department, she didn't forget to scold the Nurses beside her.
She realized that it was just as Baidu said.
The more reasonable you appear, the more polite the Hospital doctors will be to you.
The Hospital's biggest fear is patients making a big fuss; that statement is absolutely true!
"Madam, may I examine your wound now?"
Upon entering the suturing room, Lu Chenxi immediately stepped forward, intending to check the woman's wound.
"No!" Xiao Wo firmly rejected the female doctor's request.
"Doctor Lin must be the one to suture me."
She pointed at Lin Yi, her attitude exceptionally firm...
