Chapter 217 "High" Surgical Fees

Chapter 217 "High" Surgical Fee

"Doctor, you'd better give me a few injections. I won't do the surgery. I have to go back to work. I can't delay too long." The patient lowered his head and said.

When the patient's wife heard this, she cried and cursed at the patient: "What are you talking about? Are you out of your mind? What's going on now, you still want to work?"

"But the mortgage and car loan at home..."

In the middle of speaking, the patient paused because he saw the anger in his wife's eyes.

"The big deal is to leave the child to the parents, and I will go out to work." The patient's wife said firmly.

The patient was completely silent. This was the first time he saw his weak wife speak such strong words.

In his impression, his wife is always that one. When he gets home, he takes his suit, asks himself softly what he wants to eat, and makes him a cup of his favorite Huangshan Maofeng...

It is this kind of weakness that gives patients endless motivation.

"Wife..."

The strong man could no longer hold back his tears.

The patient finally agreed to the examination, and the patient's wife also paid the fee.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Feng and others pushed the patient back.

"Doctor, how is my husband?" the patient's wife asked.

Qin Feng shook his head and said: "The electrocardiogram shows that your husband's ST segment is slightly elevated, which is indeed acute myocardial infarction, so I suggest you be hospitalized immediately and rest in the hospital ward. If the condition is good during the observation period, you can be discharged from the hospital."

"But can myocardial infarction be cured?" The patient's wife asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

"Myocardial infarction is not a terminal illness, as long as the monitoring is in place, and then receive general treatment to reduce the size of myocardial infarction." Qin Feng explained.

The patient's wife nodded. At this moment, the phone in Qin Feng's pocket rang.

"What? You said that there is one part of the patient's chest color ultrasound picture that was not given to us? Is there a lesion in that part?" Qin Feng exclaimed.

Qin Feng quickly turned on the phone, opened the color ultrasound image through the software, and soon found the location of the lesion.

In an instant, Qin Feng's expression became extremely serious.

The patient's wife also sank into the bottom of her heart. Although she didn't understand, she could tell from Qin Feng's expression that her husband's condition was serious.

"Now, your husband needs to undergo surgery immediately, so there is no delay." Qin Feng said.

"Huh? Surgery?"

Qin Feng continued, "Originally, there were mild medical and surgical treatments for acute myocardial infarction, but now your husband's left main heart has a lesion, which has caused severe myocardial ischemia, so he needs immediate surgery."

"There are two surgical options, interventional therapy and heart bypass surgery, but the left main lesion area is a restricted area for interventional stenting. The restricted area for stenting is very difficult and very difficult. Once blockage and stenosis occur, your husband's life will be lost, so Heart bypass surgery is the best thing for your husband right now."

The patient's wife was intimidated by the word "heart". In her perception, any operation involving the heart would be a heart attack. Heart disease is second only to cancer in the eyes of ordinary people.

Moreover, heart bypass surgery sounds like surgery on the heart. Can surgery be performed on that part of the heart?
"Doctor, will there be no accidents during the operation? Will the failure rate be high?" the patient's wife asked worriedly.

"Don't worry about this. Currently, the risk of heart bypass surgery in the world is not high, and the success rate is as high as 95%. The failure rate is all caused by the surgeon's incompetence in the operation." Qin Feng explained.

This kind of explanation and notification of the success rate is very necessary. The medical staff should not only arrange the patients well, but also provide psychological guidance to the family members of the patients so that they can accept the operation.

Hearing that the success rate was as high as 95%, the patient's wife also breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Qin Feng to sign the consent form for the operation.

The silent patient suddenly asked, "Doctor, how much will this operation cost?"

"I estimate that it is between 15 and [-]. The specifics still need to be confirmed according to the situation after the chest surgery." Qin Feng said.

"At least one hundred thousand?" The patient's voice trembled.

Working in Taoshi, even if the monthly salary exceeds [-] yuan, the money that can be saved in a year may not exceed [-] yuan. The figure of [-] yuan will take two years of work.

Their family just bought a house, a car, gave birth to a child, and almost wiped out all their wealth, and now they have another [-] yuan, which is simply...

"Doctor, what will happen if you don't perform the operation? Will you really die?" the patient asked.

Before Qin Feng could speak, the patient's wife rushed up.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it just money? If the money is gone, we can still make money. At worst, we can sell the house and car, and we can rent the house again, and save a lot of mortgage money."

"No, the house is our root and cannot be sold. You and I have suffered for so many years, and finally moved into a new house." The patient kept shaking his head.

Qin Feng watched quietly from the side. Sometimes the hospital is a large-scale ethical drama. Here there will be quarrels because of surgery, and divorce because of expenses. There are all kinds of things.

What Qin Feng can do is to provide them with space so that they can communicate.

"What's the use of a house? If a family doesn't have a father, is it still a family? You listen to the doctor and take care of yourself. My baby and I are waiting for you when you come back," said the patient's wife.

The patient was silent for a long time this time, and finally nodded.

Qin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid of the patients who gave up halfway. All the preparations were done, but because of financial difficulties, they gave up treatment. In the end, they could only go home and get the death.

This kind of family is also very common in hospitals. On the contrary, there are very few people who are as understanding and reasonable as the patient's wife.

After all, heart bypass surgery is still a high-risk operation in the final analysis.

It is very likely that people and money will be empty. For the family members of the patients, it is very likely that it is not a hope, but a heavy blow.

Qin Feng asked the emergency department to send special caregivers. In fact, the patient's condition should be transferred to the ICU, but Qin Feng considered the patient's family situation and didn't want to make the family worse. He just arranged as many guardianships as possible.

"By the way, during the patient's hospitalization, the family members refused to visit." Qin Feng thought of something.

"Why?" asked the patient's wife in confusion.

From her point of view, since her husband is like this, she must accompany her in bed and supervise him till the end.

"Because the patient's mood swings will affect the condition, your husband's myocardial infarction is different from other diseases. Once emotional, it may lead to arrhythmia, resulting in heart failure or sudden cardiac arrest." Qin Feng explained.

Because in the acute stage of acute myocardial infarction, patients should ensure to reduce energy consumption, reduce the burden on the heart, and let themselves go quietly.

This is why patients with myocardial infarction refuse to visit.
