Chapter 2539: Chapter 2320: Stealing Liu Yiran’s Spot_5
This alone costs more than a thousand yuan.
The patient holds these three lab reports, sighs, and goes for a non-invasive liver fibrosis examination.
"Twelve hundred." The staff for the non-invasive liver fibrosis examination sees the patient and, without saying anything, quotes the price.
With three lab reports in hand, the patient tenses up upon hearing this price.
Hepatitis B is a chronic disease, requiring the patient to take long-term medication and undergo routine examinations, each costing one or two thousand yuan. The medication is also expensive.
This time, the cost of the tests is excessively high.
Just the tests for this examination cost two thousand yuan. Hepatitis B patients typically undergo examinations every three to six months, and regular medication is a long-term expense.
When it comes to healthcare, everyone knows: coal mine owners come in, but those on subsidies go out; even a family with a mine can’t withstand a trip to the ICU.
The patient thinks it over and decides to leave.
In previous check-ups, the physician always said that checking liver function, ultrasound, and virus testing were enough. The non-invasive liver fibrosis examination was an additional test ordered by the physician this time.
The patient takes these three lab reports back to Feng Huihui and Li Jiachen’s office.
Feng Huihui and Li Jiachen are chatting idly.
"Doctor, here are my lab reports." The patient respectfully places each report in front of Li Jiachen and Feng Huihui.
Li Jiachen takes a look: liver function is normal, ultrasound is normal, virus test result is negative, large triple positive.
This is a Hepatitis B patient.
Li Jiachen thinks for a moment, then looks up and asks the patient, "Where’s the result for the non-invasive liver fibrosis examination?"
The question catches the patient off guard.
"Doctor, I have Hepatitis B. I don’t need a non-invasive liver fibrosis examination, right?" The patient cautiously asks Li Jiachen.
"Who’s the doctor, me or you?" Li Jiachen tilts his head and asks.
The patient, wanting to say more, falls silent at Li Jiachen’s words.
"Doctor, I’ve had Hepatitis B for over three years now. Each examination has been liver function, ultrasound, and virus testing, never checking for liver elasticity. Did you make a mistake?" The patient says to Li Jiachen.
"We’ll check your liver elasticity to see if there’s cirrhosis or a cancerous potential." Feng Huihui coldly replies to the patient.
"Doctor, could we check next time? I didn’t bring enough money today." The patient pleads with Feng Huihui.
"Next time you come, and next time you check, if there’s cirrhosis or cancer, will you come blaming me for not letting you do more tests?"
"Doctor, I’ve always been examined for liver function, ultrasound, and virus status, and that’s what the diagnosis was based on. Could you just look at these three indicators this time?" The patient begs.
Feng Huihui ignores the patient, lowers her eyelids, and tosses the lab reports aside that the patient placed on the table, saying to Chen Xue, "Send her out."
"Huh?" Chen Xue thinks she’s heard wrong.
"Doctor... what are you doing..." The patient asks Feng Huihui with a face full of fear and helplessness.
Chen Xue symbolically stands up but doesn’t ask the patient to leave, just stands quietly listening to the patient speak.
"Did you hear me ask you to send her out?" Feng Huihui sees Chen Xue unmoved and immediately gets angry, shouting loudly at Chen Xue, causing gentle ripples in the water surface of the office fish tank.
When Feng Huihui and Chen Xue were quarreling, Li Jiachen knew how to step out as the nice guy, but now he just silently sits beside Feng Huihui, watching without saying a word.
The reason for Li Jiachen’s silence is simple; if Feng Huihui has the patient undergo an extra test, Li Jiachen and Feng Huihui can get an extra commission from the lab department.
This matter was colluded by Feng Huihui, Li Jiachen, along with doctors from the lab department.
Chen Xue still doesn’t move because she disapproves of doctors like Feng Huihui and Li Jiachen, disapproving of their despicable actions.
"Are you deaf? I’m talking to you, did you hear me!" Feng Huihui shouts even louder.
"Hepatitis B only needs these three tests. What’s the use of checking liver elasticity? This is simply overcharging!" Chen Xue can’t hold back and argues with Feng Huihui.
"You damn trash! Two years of medical school and you forget your name? I’m the doctor, you’re an intern, know your place!" Feng Huihui slams the table hard and starts spewing profanities at Chen Xue.
"Even if I’m just a two-year medical student, I know Hepatitis B doesn’t need liver elasticity checks during reexamination!" Chen Xue yells back at Feng Huihui.
"What do you know? Doctor Feng has over ten years of clinical experience, what qualifies you to question her?" Just now siding with Chen Xue during the argument, Li Jiachen suddenly switches attitude and starts defending Feng Huihui.
Chapter 2324: Profiting from kickbacks!
"You only take advantage of the patient’s ignorance to prescribe more tests for kickbacks! Even if you care for the patient, recommending more tests, but because one wasn’t done, you refuse diagnosis? Is this how doctors behave?" Chen Xue is also sharp-tongued.
"You scoundrel! Do you need me to teach you how to be a doctor?" Feng Huihui stands up, stretches out her hands towards Chen Xue, showing her long nails.
