A woman in her forties stopped Zhou Can.
She was with a boy about eight or nine years old, whose left arm was hanging limply. The child’s face was full of pain.
Zhou Can took one look at the patient and could easily tell that the boy probably had a dislocated joint. Just as the woman said, with his current orthopedic skills, he could easily fix it without an X-ray.
It would only take a few seconds.
"Dr. Zhou, I beg you!"
The woman burst into tears and knelt down in front of him.
"Please, don’t do this, get up."
Zhou Can hurriedly helped the woman up.
"If you don’t agree, I’ll stay on my knees here. I beg you..." The woman cried so sorrowfully that it moved the people around. To relieve her child’s suffering as soon as possible, she didn’t hesitate to kneel before the doctor in public.
She was crying so heartbroken because of her love for her child.
This is the greatness of motherly love.
"After all, it’s just a matter of a few seconds, doctor, maybe you could just treat him!"
"Yes, this child is so pitiful! Just treat him!"
Out of sympathy, some family members spoke up to plead for the woman and the little boy.
"Sorry, the orthopedic treatment indeed takes only a few seconds, but there’s a prerequisite. It can only be done so easily after looking at the X-ray. I deeply sympathize with your child and share in his pain. But I really can’t treat him right now. If the families ahead of you agree, I can give your child a priority in the examination application, that’s no problem."
Zhou Can’s heart was like stone, not moved in the slightest.
That’s because families like these, who kneel and cry easily to gain sympathy, have deceived him many times.
When these families kneel, they look pitiful, but they bee very troublesome when filing plaints against you.
Doctors can be kind, but they absolutely cannot indulge in excessive sympathy.
"A dislocated arm isn’t exactly a life-threatening issue, right? My daughter has had a high fever all night, vomiting and diarrhea, and we queued early. I don’t agree to let her cut the line."
A father acpanying his daughter for treatment bluntly refused the kneeling woman’s request to cut in line.
"Yes, I don’t agree either. Whose child is not a life? Who es to the hospital without pain? Following the rules is the only fair thing."
Another family member loudly opposed.
This is the true depiction of the family members.
Everyone has their own turf, and whoever touches their interests, they will get angry with.
"How e you two have no sympathy at all? So what if your daughter has a fever? How can it pare to my son? If it were your daughter with a broken arm, I guarantee I would let you have priority in treatment."
The kneeling woman, seeing her request to prioritize treatment rejected,
immediately turned into a shrew, starting to scold the first family member who disagreed.
"And you, dressed so decently, why are you so stubborn? Letting my son have priority won’t cause you any loss, right? The doctor even said it would only take a few seconds."
When it came to quarreling, this woman could out-argue even three Wang Langs.
She battled two and those two family members ended up at a disadvantage under her scolding.
Moreover, her shrew-like demeanor was intimidating to Zhou Can.
He was secretly relieved, thankful that he hadn’t let his sympathy overrun him and hadn’t agreed to the woman’s request earlier.
The growth of a doctor is definitely not just the accumulation of medical skills but also learning how to deal with family members and protect oneself.
