Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Chapter 633 Serious Illness Fund

"Director, something happened. Xiaomei from the quick-frozen corn workshop had a difficult delivery at the forest hospital. They can't do a caesarean section here, so her husband came here to borrow money."

"What is this husband thinking? He is borrowing money at this time. Why didn't he do anything earlier? Send a car to take him to the county hospital for surgery. As for the money, ask the accountant to advance him 500 first."

Xiaomei is an excellent employee in the workshop. She usually does a good job and is a team leader. Her monthly salary plus bonus is more than 90 yuan, which is a high income in the entire county. It is unclear what is going on. She only thinks of borrowing money when she is about to give birth.

When Liu Xia Lian came with Assistant Xiao Ma, the patient had already entered the operating room.

Xiaomei's husband is about 23 or 24 years old. He is wearing a forest farm work uniform and looks like he is planting trees in the forest farm.

Liu Xia Lian asked: "What's going on? You're only thinking of borrowing money after you've given birth?"

Xiaomei's husband scratched his head, "I didn't expect the birth to be difficult. I haven't received any salary for the past three months and have been living on Xiaomei's salary. Who would have thought that my father broke his waist a few days ago and spent a lot of money. I only had about 200 yuan left after the baby was born. I thought that this would be enough, but it turned out to be difficult to give birth. The forest hospital couldn't perform the operation and almost killed someone."

"That's not right. I just gave birth to my baby at the Forest Farm Hospital a few months ago, and the hospital said I could have a caesarean section."

Xiaomei’s husband shook his head: “That was a few months ago. Recently, the forest farm has completely stopped logging, and the doctors at the forest farm hospital have also started to pass away one after another.”

The hospital charges low fees, but it doesn't cost much to maintain operations. There are only a dozen doctors, thirty nurses, a few logistics staff, and a few cleaners. Why can't the salary be paid? In fact, there are other problems.

"Xiao Ma, please contact Director Li and see if we can take over the forest hospital to ensure that doctors do not leave as much as possible."

"Okay, I'll go ask when I get home this afternoon."

After a while, Xiaomei's son was brought out, weighing 5.6 jin. Xiaomei also came out lying on a flatbed cart.

Xiaomei's husband quickly asked: "How is it, nurse?"

"Mother and child are safe. A small incision was made and the baby was carefully placed on a bed. Depending on the condition, she will be discharged in five days to a week."

Liu Xia Lian helped to lift and settle Xiaomei down.

After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, Xiaomei was surprised to find that the factory director was there.

"Director, why are you here?"

"I came to see you. Finally, both mother and child are safe. Okay, you guys take a rest. We'll go back to the factory first."

In the evening, Xiao Ma came back after asking questions and said, "Director Li said that the current shortage of the forest hospital is wages, which is about 2,000 yuan per month. Medicines, equipment, etc. are all paid for by patients themselves."

Director Li of the forest farm was at the same level as the county head at his most glorious time. At its peak, it had as many as 8,000 employees. It was a great honor for the local people to work in the forest farm. But now, with the development of the times, it has declined. The times are changing. If you can't keep up with the changes, the times will abandon you without even saying goodbye.

"This is our base camp. It's convenient for workers to see a doctor if they have a headache or fever. It's good for this hospital to exist. Please tell Director Li that our kimchi factory will provide medical assistance starting this month to stabilize the mood of the medical staff."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

In the Linchang Hospital, Dr. Xu from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology was sorting out medical records and preparing to go off work. Unlike several old doctors, she was still young, only 28 years old this year, and had been working for five years. It didn't matter if the salary was a little low, 70 or 80 yuan a month was enough to spend, the cost of living here was very low, but the hospital had not paid wages for two consecutive months recently, and she was a little confused and couldn't see where to go. With her conditions, she could earn a good income by changing hospitals or opening a clinic herself.

At this time, I heard the young nurse screaming at the top of her voice: "Ah, ah, it's almost time to get the salary."

After all, who doesn't have something to buy during the New Year? Dr. Xu went over to take a look and saw a notice posted on the window: January wages for 82 will be paid. It turned out that the two months' wages in arrears will be paid at a later date.

Dr. Xu asked the finance department: "What's going on? Why did they start paying this month and not the previous two months?"

"It's the same for us. Our wages are also in arrears. The kimchi factory has started paying us wages this month, and there shouldn't be any more delays in the future."

The doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no one likes to have their wages delayed.

The dean called four young doctors, including Dr. Xu.

"Dean, what's the matter?"

"The provincial hospital has a training session in March. The kimchi factory spent a lot of money to contact us, especially you, Doctor Xu. You should learn the caesarean section operation well. Dozens of people from nearby villages come to our hospital to give birth. We can also solve the problem of difficult births."

"Ok."

"Director Liu invested 500,000 yuan to set up a major disease fund with our hospital, the county hospital, and the agricultural machinery factory hospital. All nearby villagers and employees who have no money to see a doctor can use the major disease fund to pay first. Those who can repay will pay the fund, and those who cannot will bear the cost."

Doctor Xu took a deep breath. What was wrong with Director Liu? She was also a woman, and several years younger than him. It would have been fine if she had just had money, but she was willing to spend it on him.

"Director Liu is really kind-hearted. He saved people in distress. It's very painful for people to have no money to see a doctor. It's really painful to experience it once. This kind act will help so many people. It's really a great deed."

The dean nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back, pack up, and leave early tomorrow. Let's study hard. Director Liu wants to see results when he spends this money. After all, there are so many female workers in the kimchi factory, and they all need to have babies."

"Okay, okay. Let's go back first."

There is still a lot of controversy about the establishment of a major disease relief fund with 500,000 yuan. Some people think that 500,000 yuan is enough to cover all hospitals in the city, while others think that it is difficult for the so-called patients to return the money after recovery. In the absence of legal constraints, people's credit is actually very low.

But in the end, it was Liu Xialian who gave the answer. She was still a small businessman and could not take care of the people in other counties. The 500,000 yuan might be used up in a few years. If the beneficiaries returned it in succession, it would last longer. The kimchi factory had to operate and support its employees, so it was impossible to take out more money. The fund was mainly for those who needed urgent surgery due to dystocia, sudden illness, accidental injury, etc. If the family of the patient could not take out the money, they could pay it from the fund. Afterwards, if the family of the patient had the ability to return the money, the foundation would not set up a debt collection department, which meant that they had to return it by themselves. If they did not return it, they would not ask for it. It was all up to them.

County Magistrate Ma and the Director of the Health Bureau approved the plan and praised it highly. They believed that this plan could indeed help patients in distress and was a great thing.

With the arrival of a heavy snow, the Spring Festival of 1982 finally arrived. The end-of-year party was held at the Lijiatun Warehouse. There were more than a dozen tables and the heads of various industries were all present. After all, most businesses were closed for the New Year these years, except for a few restaurants, all others had to rest.
