My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 569 - 244: The Miserable Patient, Bian Que’s Third V

Zhou Can greeted the woman warmly.

"The train ride was rather long, and the layover added a few hours. Otherwise, I could have reached the hospital even earlier. My daughter told that it was you who kindly paid for her als yesterday. I’m really grateful to you. How much do I owe you? I’ll pay you back right now."

The woman tried to stand up, and only then did Zhou Can realize that she was using a crutch.

It seed her leg had a problem.

No wonder she stayed seated on her portable stool without moving.

"Auntie, the food didn’t cost much, there’s no need to pay back. I’ve already agreed with your daughter that she should focus on her treatnt. Once she’s recovered, when I visit your hotown, a nice al from her would be sufficient."

Zhou Can quickly gestured with his hands, indicating that the woman didn’t need to be so polite.

"That’s great! If you really co to Shiniu County, I will definitely treat you to the most delicious local specialties." The woman promised with a smile, looking at Zhou Can with gratitude. "Ah, my daughter has been so stubborn since she was little. I divorced when she was just over a year old and raised her on my own. Later, when she was just over seventeen, she was deceived by the sweet words of a middle-aged man while working out of town. She wouldn’t listen to and married that old man..."

The woman began to share the unfortunate experiences of her daughter.

"I told her at the ti of her marriage, ’If you get married, don’t call ’mom’ again.’ Over the years, she hasn’t contacted . It’s not easy for to walk, so I thought about visiting her, but I was worried that it might cause her in-laws to look down on her and make it difficult for her to live with them. I just never expected them to be so cruel. Even when she was pregnant, they often didn’t feed her, and many tis they only let her eat leftovers... She’s too naive."

The woman wiped away her tears as she spoke.

"A couple of days ago, I got the first call from her in four years, saying that she had been diagnosed with stomach cancer and was stupefied. Her in-laws dropped her off at the hospital and then left. Now we can’t even get through to them on the phone, and they’ve made it clear that they won’t pay for her dical expenses, telling her to fend for herself."

In other words, she was abandoned by her husband’s family.

Such a beautiful girl, married to an older man, and ending up like this.

It’s just too tragic.

Not just Zhou Can, but also the other patients in the sa ward, after hearing her story, felt indignantly sympathetic.

The kind people in this world can be extrely kind, and the cruel, immoral, and heartless ones can be unimaginably wicked.

"Did you get a marriage certificate?"

Zhou Can asked the girl.

"We did before, but since I got sick, they forced to divorce. I refused, so he and his family beat , beat brutally." Her voice choked several tis as she talked about these matters.

No wonder she had so many bruises on her body.

This husband and his family were simply inhuman, they were beasts.

"It’s better that you divorced. We’re just a mother and daughter, and I’m disabled; we can’t possibly fight those villains. I have also saved so money from working over the years, initially for my retirent. But now that she has this illness, as long as there is a glimr of hope, I’m pleading with the hospital to save her. Even if it ans breaking the pot and selling iron, we must treat her."

The woman said to Zhou Can.

They were already two vulnerable won, and with the woman being disabled, they belong to the most disadvantaged group in society.

The woman harbored deep hatred for her daughter’s ex-in-laws but still chose not to pursue matters further.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to seek justice, but she knows she can’t afford the confrontation and can only swallow her grievances.

The adult world is full of helplessness.

"Her current stomach tumor is still in the early stages, and a tily surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a high chance of cure. If you agree, I will report to the senior doctor later and arrange for her surgery as soon as possible."

Zhou Can did not judge other people’s private affairs.

Instead, he focused on matters related to treatnt.

This is also a dical principle taught by his ntors.

Doctors should only focus on treating illnesses and not get involved in the private affairs of patients and their families. There are too many injustices to handle in the world.

Virtually all cancers should be operated on as soon as they are confird, as long as a surgical chance exists.

The longer you wait, the worse it is.

The spread of cancer cells not only extends to neighboring lymph nodes and adjacent organs and tissues but also through the blood to the farther reaches of the body.

"We agree, we agree. Please arrange the surgery for us as soon as possible."

"Okay! When I see Director Shang later, I’ll report this to him and arrange it for you as soon as possible. As for the specific treatnt costs, it’s not clear yet, but you should be prepared. Before scheduling surgery, the hospital will require a deposit for the treatnt costs. The treatnt expenses mainly include two parts: the surgery to remove the stomach cancer and the chemotherapy after the surgery. At least sixty thousand should be prepared, and the total treatnt cost may exceed one hundred thousand. If there is dical insurance, a large part of it can be reimbursed."

Zhou Can inford them in advance of how much money to prepare.

Treating cancer, money is the most crucial factor.

If the tumor is small and the surgery goes smoothly, the surgery costs might only be around six thousand. If the tumor is larger and requires an open operation, it will start at a minimum of twenty thousand.

This girl, being unable to eat her fill at her husband’s house and only getting leftovers, most likely did not pay for dical insurance.

Without dical insurance, all the treatnt costs have to co out of pocket.

This is also why it is important to have dical insurance. In the unfortunate event of a major illness, treatnt costs can be covered.
