Chapter 2 The sky-high price of medicine

Xie Haitao was stunned by Ye Bufan's actions, and after recognizing him, he shouted, "Kid, she's dead, why are you still fooling around?

“Are you playing filial piety? If you had the filial piety to get 50,000 yuan for the operation earlier, your mother wouldn't have died, but you have no money and still like to pretend. I despise people like you..."

He was chattering away, but Ye Bufan ignored him and concentrated on giving Ouyang Lan the needle.

"Kid, I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?"

Seeing that the young man in front of him ignored him, Xie Haitao suddenly became angry and shouted again, "Are you a doctor? Don’t you want your mother to die in peace by getting a broken needle to stab here and there?

“I'm telling you, this is an ICU ward, which charges by the hour, and the medical bills you owe me haven't been paid yet.

“Stop it now!"

Ye Bufan finally stabbed the last needle out, and then he let out a long breath.

His mother had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, which was nothing to Ancient Medical Sect. It was fortunate that he had come back in time. If he had delayed a little longer, it would have been too late.

Xie Haitao shouted, "Kid, have you had enough? You have to pay for the time being."

Then he said to Zhang Xiaoman, "Call the Funeral Home right away and ask them to pull the body away."

Ye Bufan said in a cold voice, "You quack, what nonsense are you talking about? My mother is still alive!"

Xie Haitao said with a disdainful expression, "Alive? Are you mentally ill? If your mother can come back to life, you can have my position as chief doctor..."

As he was saying that, suddenly the monitoring equipment at the bedside gave a beeping sound and then resumed its work, and Ouyang Lan had a heartbeat.

Once... Two beats, a little slow at first, but it soon returned to normal.

"What the... What's going on here?"

Xie Haitao and Zhang Xiaoman were both dumbfounded, just now this person really no longer had any vital signs. How come she suddenly came to life? If this was not an ICU ward, they would really think it was a walking dead.

Ye Bufan felt that it was about time. He raised his hand to retrieve all the silver needles from his mother's body, and took away those monitoring devices one by one.

When he was done, Ouyang Lan sat up from the bed, looked around and said, "Son, where am I?"

"Mom, you've finally woken up."

Ye Bufan excitedly pulled Ouyang Lan's hand. If it was not coincidental to get the Ancient Medical Sect's inheritance, they would really be separated from live and death.

Xie Haitao instantly widened his eyes, completely unable to believe everything in front of him. Ouyang Lan's condition is the most clear to him, even if not dead, it is impossible for her to recover so quickly.

Ouyang Lan said, "Son, what's going on here? Mom remembers my suddenly fainting, am I sick? Is it going to cost a lot of money?"

"It's okay, mom. You're already well. Let's go home now."

Ye Bufan had just not only cured his mother's brain hemorrhage, but also sorted out all the other hidden illnesses in her body.

Now Ouyang Lan is definitely healthier than anyone else, so naturally there is no need to stay here any longer.

"Well then, let's go. I told you a long time ago that I don't need to come to the hospital for minor ailments. Some rests would do."

Ouyang Lan raised Ye Bufan and his siblings alone, living a hard life. Her most fearful thing is to spend money at the hospital.

She said while she got out of bed and was about to leave with Ye Bufan.

"Stop! You can't leave yet."

Xie Haitao opened his arms in front of the two people.

Ye Bufan frowned, "What do you want?"

Xie Haitao said, "If you want to leave, you have to settle the medical bill first."

Ouyang Lan said, "Oh, right. How much does it cost, doctor?"

Xie Haitao said, "Thirty-nine thousand eight hundred."

"What, that much money?"

Ouyang Lan was so shocked that if Ye Bufan had not just helped her improve her body, she would have collapsed on the hospital bed again.

Ye Bufan said angrily, "I saved my mom by myself, so why do we need to pay so much money?"

"This is an ICU ward, and we charge by the hour. Plus, we gave your mother some resuscitation drugs, and that's how much it costs in total."

Xie Haitao said and threw a stack of medication details to Ouyang Lan, "Take a look. We spent a lot of manpower and drugs to save you, otherwise you would have died long ago. How can you stand here and talk!"

Ouyang Lan took the bill. She didn't know anything about medicine. All she could read was the shockingly high figures on it.

Ye Bufan scanned it and his expression immediately sank, "Are you sure this is all the medicine for my mother?"

He is a third-year student of Jiangnan Medical University. Although he has not graduated, he still understands some routine medication.

Xie Haitao said, "Of course, pay up quickly!"

Ye Bufan burst out in anger and grabbed him by the neck and pushed him hard against the wall.

"You are not only incompetent, but also so black-hearted. How are you worthy of such a sacred profession as a doctor?"

Xie Haitao was choked by Ye Bufan. He immediately felt difficulty in breathing. But no matter how he struggled, Ye Bufan's hands were as immovable as iron pincers.

Ouyang Lan and Zhang Xiaoman were both shocked and didn't understand how Ye Bufan got so angry, so they rushed over to stop him.

Zhang Xiaoman went forward to pull Ye Bufan's arm. However, she found that Ye Bufan's arm did not look stout, but in fact it was very strong, making her unable to move a bit.

"Son, let him go. Hitting others is a crime."

Seeing Ouyang Lan come forward to dissuade him, Ye Bufan let go.

"Ahem... Cough... Cough..." Xie Haitao finally got some fresh air and breathed heavily.

Ouyang Lan said, "Son, what's going on? Why are you so angry?"

Ye Bufan said angrily, "This black-hearted doctor asked me to pay 50,000 yuan for the operation before, and if he couldn't get the money, he wouldn't save your life.

“And just now, he even misdiagnosed you as dead!

“Now he is falsifying and prescribing medications indiscriminately. The vast majority of these drugs were not for your use. And he came to us to collect money. How could someone like him be a doctor!”

At that moment, Xie Haitao came back to his senses and shouted, "Nonsense! These are the medications for your mother's rescue. You must pay today or I will send both of you to the police station!"

Ye Bufan held up the charge sheet and said, "You think we don't understand, right? My mother has a severe cerebral hemorrhage, but there is a prescription for thromboxane on it. What about the ginseng injection?

“What's more, all these injections add up to more than 25 kilograms. Did you really use all these things on my mother?

“Twenty-five kilograms of infusion in less than twenty-four hours, even an elephant can't take it, right?"

"I..."

Xie Haitao was completely dumbfounded and speechless for a while.

Originally, he thought that this mother and son did not know anything, so he prescribed a whole bunch of drugs indiscriminately.

He often did this in the past, but he never thought that Ye Bufan would see through it today.

Just when he didn't know what to do, suddenly the door of the emergency room opened and a middle-aged man came running in carrying a little boy of about ten years old.

The middle-aged man called out, "Doctor, quickly see what's wrong with my son?"

The nurse next to him went up to Xie Haitao and said, "Director Xie, this is the patient arranged by Director Zhou of the Health Bureau. He asked that we must do our best to save the boy."
