C46 (1/2)
Chen Fu was questioned by a middle-aged man in his forties. He was wearing a red T-shirt, white pants, yellow rubber shoes, and a head of tousled yellow hair. He looked malnourished. It looked as if he had come from the countryside outside the Dragon City.
”What's the matter with you? If I tell you to do CT, do it. What are you blabbering about? ” Chen Fu said with some dissatisfaction.
”I'm here to see a Chinese doctor, so why do you want me to do a CT scan?” The middle-aged man said unhappily.
Chen Fu rolled his eyes and said: ”Your words are too new, who said that Chinese medicine could not be written on the CT examination list? Do you know what it means by traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine? Aren't you suffering from low back pain? If you don't have a CT scan, how would I know what happened to the bones in your waist? ”
”Doctor, it's because I don't want to do a CT, that's why I came to Dragon City Hospital to look at raditional Chinese Medicine Department. If I had to do a CT, I could have done it at our district hospital.” The middle-aged man said hesitantly.
”Why don't you want to have a CT? You have a problem with your waist. I suspect that you have a protruding lumbar intervertebral disc. Only through CT can we clearly know which part of your lumbar vertebra you have a problem with. ” Chen Fu said expressionlessly. If not in front of Long Fei and so many patients, he would have already become impatient.
”But it costs over four hundred dollars to make a CT of the waist! To tell the doctor the truth, my wife has been suffering from asthma, emphysema, arthritis, almost a hundred ailments. It is difficult to get up. His son was still in university, so it was time to spend money. I spent all of my savings at home. Actually, my waist has been hurting for a few months now, I originally wanted to take the first blow, but I really couldn't work these days, so I decided to come to the hospital to take a look. If it was just taking a CT scan, I could grit my teeth and endure it. But after taking a CT scan, I would still need to be treated, right? A single examination would have cost me more than 400, plus the treatment, I'm afraid it won't even cost me one or two thousand, my waist wouldn't have recovered at all! But what if I spend all my money and my wife is sick? As long as she stopped using the medicine for two days, her arms and legs would swell like steamed buns! It was truly painful to look at! And what if my son goes to school without money? Sigh! ”Civilians, it's so hard!”
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corners of his eyes. Then, he pinched his nose. When the other patients saw the middle-aged man's desperate look, they could not help but feel tears welling up in their eyes. However, this world wasn't filled with rich people. Even though others felt that the middle-aged man was very pitiful, no one was willing to pay the price of a few hundred yuan for a CT scan.
Their own lives were already known to them. Who would be the worst off? How many people in this world could live as carefree as they were carefree?
When he heard the middle-aged man's words, his heart softened as well. However, if he did not do the CT for the middle-aged man, it was true that he would not be able to give the medicine to the middle-aged man, so he spoke tactfully: ”Sigh! I don't want you to spend more money, but think about it, if you don't hurry up and fix your waist, then you won't be able to work as fast as you can to earn money. If you can't work, then your wife won't have money to treat illnesses and your son won't have money to go to school. ”So, you have to understand that even though you spent a bit of money to treat your illness, you still have to spend it all!”
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh and said, ”Sigh! Aren't you a Chinese doctor? Since when did traditional Chinese medicine use Western medicine's apparatus? Could it be that after leaving those machines, you are unable to cure my waist? ”
”There is something wrong with your waist. Only through CT can we see the location of the lesion. I am also responsible for your illness! ” Chen Fu's tone was already somewhat unsatisfied. There were still many patients waiting for him to treat. He didn't want to waste all his time on this middle-aged man who looked a little messy.
”Sigh!” Forget it, I'll find someone else to look at. I don't believe that my waist can't be cured by saving the money for the CT scan! ”
The middle-aged man stubbornly said as he tightly gripped his hands behind his back. With much difficulty, he stood up from the stool and was about to leave the reception room.
When Chen Fu conversed with the middle-aged man, Long Fei had already stopped WeChat with Lin Susu, and was focused on watching the things unfolding in front of him. When he saw that the middle-aged man was about to leave with a disappointed expression, he immediately laughed and said, ”Uncle, can you let me see your waist?”
The middle-aged man turned his head to look at Long Fei, and asked hesitantly: ”You? Even your master couldn't cure me when he left the CT room.
Long Fei did not explain that he was not Chen Fu's student, and only laughed: ”Haha, uncle, I only look at your waist, and do not know how to charge you, you can't lose anything, even if you do good work, and let me practice, can't you?”
The middle-aged man actually walked in front of Long Fei and laughed bitterly: ”Hehe, you really know how to talk. Forget it, since you know how to talk, I'll be your little mouse and let you practice.”
”Mm, then thank you very much uncle.” As Long Fei spoke, he pulled up the middle-aged man's T-shirt a little, then placed his right hand on the middle-aged man's waist.
Long Fei began moving his hands from the middle-aged man's back, bit by bit. As he moved, he kept asking the middle-aged man about his feelings. The middle-aged man basically did not hold any hope for Long Fei, so when he answered Long Fei's question, he was also a little absent-minded.
