Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 193: The Little Girl with Abdominal Ascites—You Came to Me About This? (Part 2)

It’s either a shady hospital or a ’money-grabbing’ hospital.

There’s another situation worth being wary of.

When a patient enters the emergency room, the doctor over-concerned about whether they’ve bought insurance is suspicious, if not outright problematic.

When the doctor performs some emergency treatment on a patient, considering the economic situation, they inquire about insurance.

That’s quite normal.

Patients with insurance can use medications and some expensive rescue equipment without budget constraints, because a large portion can be reimbursed.

The patient can afford it.

Without insurance, every aspect must be saved for the patient, and treatments that can be avoided will be.

Doctors would only casually ask one or two questions on this matter.

But some private hospitals or those with poor performance, upon hearing about insurance purchase, or a responsible driver or employer covering medical expenses, ensure to prescribe excessively, use all equipment, and order full sets of tests.

Hospitals like these focus solely on making money; their medical skills are predictable.

Ethics are almost nonexistent.

If you don’t transfer hospitals quickly, once admitted, you might be slaughtered like a ’fattened pig’ for the New Year.

Li Jingsheng stood in the emergency waiting hall, casually observing the patients and the medical staff’s post-reception plans, etc.

"Hey, aren’t you Dr. Li from the clinic?"

An emergency nurse recognized him while passing by.

"Haha, you still remember me! Aren’t you running with the emergency vehicle anymore?"

Li Jingsheng also remembered the nurse.

Sharp in speech but not ill-hearted.

The first time coming to his clinic to retrieve a heart attack elderly woman left a deep impression on Li Jingsheng. Saying some disdainful and critical words to him on the ambulance but also giving well-intentioned advice.

A typical ’sharp tongue, soft heart’ person.

"Spit, spit, spit, who goes out on emergencies every day! Now I don’t have to be on the vehicle, officially stationed at the infusion room in the emergency department."

She’s still sharp.

Going out with an ambulance is considered a tiresome task, usually, somewhat experienced newcomers are dispatched.

If someone makes an emergency call at midnight, they have to leave at midnight.

If arriving late or the patient dies upon receiving, the family might scold or beat them.

"Congratulations then, a promotion! You’re busy, I’m just casually looking around."

Li Jingsheng said to her.

"Don’t you, you, me, I’ve got a name, I’m Cheng Ling, if you need my help in the future, remember to call me Miss Cheng, haha... I’m off to work!"

She probably found herself amusing, couldn’t help but laugh walking away.

After taking two steps, she turned back to look at him.

"By the way, congratulations are in order! You’re now officially a doctor at our Second Hospital, quite nice!"
