I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 439 - 182: The Real Threat Is Not the Disease, but the Corrupted Heart

Seeing that Fan Zhen and his wife were still unresponsive, Zhou Qihua frowned and couldn’t help but say, "There’s another thing. Because the patient’s condition is too severe, we fear that we might be powerless, but I have already contacted a TCM expert who is highly skilled in emergency treatment to come over. However, the expert’s fee may need to be covered by you, and you should quickly sign the critical condition notice, otherwise, no one will dare to treat the patient."

Hearing that they still needed to bring an expert and pay a significant expert fee, Fan Zhen immediately objected and turned to his daughter Fan Qiyun: "Qiyun, what’s going on?"

"Why do we still need to pay the expert fee?"

Fan Qiyun felt exhausted but still explained, "It’s like this, if a patient admitted to the hospital is in a situation where the doctors can’t treat them, but there is still a possibility of rescue, they will invite doctors from other hospitals for consultation.

When an expert is invited, the fee naturally has to be paid by the patient’s family, but it generally won’t be too high, even the expert fee, about ten thousand would be enough."

"So much?" Fan Zhen took a deep breath.

Fan Qiyun took a deep breath: "Dad, what time is it now, and you’re still complaining about the expert fee."

"Your mom and I have no money." Fan Zhen said coldly.

"Besides, aren’t you the deputy director of the Pulmonology Department? You’ve always said you’re great at surgery, and in a few years, you could be a chief physician. Can’t you do it?"

"Fan Qiyun, Fan Qi is your brother after all, and you caused this situation. You can’t just stand by and watch him die!"

"And you’re a doctor yourself, why don’t you save him? Why insist on getting someone else, is ten thousand not money?"

Fan Qiyun suppressed the urge to lose her temper and patiently explained, "Dad, can you calm down? I just told you, I can’t do this operation. I have some ability, but in front of my superiors and Director Zhou, it’s nothing but child’s play. Both of them said it can’t be saved, so I’m also helpless. Not to mention me, even if you find doctors in the province, there might not be many who can do it.

Since Director Zhou said this, the expert we invite still has confidence, and of course, you need to pay the expert fee. Over the years, the money I’ve given you is at least over three hundred thousand, you should be able to come up with ten thousand."

Hearing this, Fan Qiyun’s mom was unwilling: "Fan Qiyun, how can you be so cold-blooded, still talking about ten thousand, your dad and I really don’t have this money, and why should we pay for the people you invite?

Besides, aren’t you all part of the same system? Let them save people first, what doctor asks for money before saving people, and what if they don’t save the person?"

"I agree with your mom." Fan Zhen nodded.

The couple thought it was very clear, isn’t this just mutual aid between friends?

Today you ask me to take a look, tomorrow I’ll help you check, and still, they charge an expert fee?

And still ask for ten thousand?

Isn’t this robbery!

Aren’t they just trapping the couple?

Moreover, if the person isn’t saved, wouldn’t that ten thousand be wasted?

Fan Qiyun shook her head without speaking; her parents have really gotten used to draining her financially, even at this moment, they’re still thinking about their little calculations.

Sure enough, just as Fan Qiyun thought of this, she heard Fan Zhen say, "Qiyun, you see, your mom and I don’t have money on us, could you maybe lend us this money for now, and we’ll pay you back when we have it?

Ten thousand shouldn’t be much for you, right?

People go out to do expert consultations like that, don’t they get that ten thousand? You know, your mom and I don’t have jobs, barely getting by on the small pension from back home, and we can’t even have meat every day. Every time your mom goes shopping, she picks those vegetables on discount."

After saying that, Fan Zhen couldn’t help but wipe his reddened eyes.

Fan Qiyun looked up at the bright ceiling, finding it somewhat laughable. Had this couple gotten used to playing the victim?

No money?

At this moment, Fan Qiyun really couldn’t stand it anymore and was fed up with her parents exploiting her, coldly saying, "I’ve already told you, I don’t have money, I don’t have money, I don’t have money!"

"How many times do I have to say that before you understand?"

"Over the years, don’t you know where all my money went? I’m a deputy chief physician, and I can’t even come up with ten thousand, you as parents, with all your savings, plus what I’ve given you, there must be at least five hundred thousand, right?"

"Now it’s your son who needs saving, not my son. As a sister, I’ve put him through school, bought him a car, paid off his gambling debts, isn’t that enough?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Now you even want me to pay for his life-saving money?"

"If I had money, even with all my grievances, I would pay it, but do you two really think I have any money left?"

"Look at it yourselves, I have less than five thousand left in my bank account."

"Less than five thousand?"

Her mom sneered, "Do you think we believe that?"

Fan Qiyun paused and then laughed, directly saying, "As for the expert fee, I won’t pay it, I don’t have the money. Also, if you don’t sign, and don’t pay the expert fee, people won’t take action to save him. Participating as a ’Flying Knife’ also involves risks, without a signature, not to mention the expert we invite, even Director Ma and Director Zhou can’t save him. You two better think it over, is that little money of yours more important, or your son."
