Chapter 159: Seeking Medical Treatment
"Jay, my good brother, although I am grateful for the glasses you brought me, I still don't want to go to the East with you to become a witch doctor's guinea pig. Really, let me go."
Benson raised his hands in surrender, looking pleading, but Jay had a smirk on his face, took out his phone and turned on the beauty filter.
"Benson, if you don't go with me, I will post your beautified photos on social networks."
"NO! You can't do this!"
Benson's face was filled with despair. Benson himself was a handsome man with regular features, but nothing special about him.
But also because of this, his facial features can be enhanced to the extreme by beauty filters, which is quite a match. This was something Jay discovered accidentally when he was bored.
Finally, under Jay's pressure, Benson compromised.
Their family conditions were similar, and Benson , so it was not complicated to apply again.
Benson sighed as he was dragged away by Jay.
"I'm already in the queue, I just need to wait a few more months, this isn't an emergency."
"Wouldn't it be nice to travel together during the holidays?"
Jay said soothingly.
"It's fine to just travel. I was quite happy the last time I went, but I don't want to go to the hospital when I travel. Travel insurance won't cover it unless it's an emergency. God knows how long I'll have to wait."
Benson complained.
"Well, actually it's okay if the travel insurance doesn't cover it. I checked and all the costs added up are less than the registration fee for a private emergency room, and the service here is very fast..."
…
Register, call number, medical consultation, color ultrasound, prescription, payment, and pick up medicine.
Click, click, click~
The series of events completely confused Benson. He had never been to the hospital before when he came here for a trip.
But he never expected that he could receive emergency treatment for his non-emergency illness.
Because of its smaller population, the medical system in the Maple Leaf Country is much better than that in the United States. Although it also uses the family doctor appointment model, the insurance coverage is much more complete, and in theory it is almost free for all. Therefore, there are only about a hundred private hospitals in the entire Maple Leaf Country, and most people cannot consider paying to cut in line.
The processing speed of life-threatening emergencies is not slow, but if it is not some urgent disease and there are many people seeking medical treatment, the speed can really make people doubt their lives. You know, cancer is usually not an emergency in their country.
The workload of these doctors is far less than that of domestic doctors, and their experience is not as rich.
Except for the last time when Benson had a cholecystitis attack and biliary colic and went to the emergency room and had to wait for a few hours , he was too lazy to make an appointment for a common cold on weekdays.
Many agents boast that people abroad don’t take medicine for colds in order to build up their immunity. This is basically the same reason, just from a different perspective.
Benson didn't expect the efficiency here to be so unexpected, and the price was within his acceptable range. Both sides had their own strengths.
The medical care here is indeed not as backward as imagined.
(Note: Each medical field has its own characteristics. We have both advantages and disadvantages, and so do foreign countries. We cannot look at them one-sidedly. Speed, technology, and price cannot be achieved at the same time.)
Just when Benson was still feeling a little emotional, he saw Jay had already set up the phone stand.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing Jay's expression, Benson was also a little strange.
"Of course it's time to start the show. Come on, take out your previous color ultrasound."
Jay began to pull out Benson's previous examination results, and then displayed the pictures and results.
Now TT can provide built-in simultaneous translation, so he is no longer worried that others may not understand him.
He specifically took out the test results, magnified the conclusion and time, and then took out the prescribed medicine.
"Now, it's time to witness a miracle."
Under Jay's coercion, Benson had no choice but to take the medicine according to the dosage.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Benson sighed.
"No, go make another appointment."
"What?"
Benson almost cursed out something starting with F.
Register again? What do you mean?
However, when he found out that he had to register and queue up again, he felt a little confused.
Is it okay to waste medical resources like this?
You should know that because Maple Leaf provides free medical care, it saves a lot of medical resources. Even if a patient has just undergone surgery, as long as the indicators are normal, the patient will be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate on the same day after waking up from anesthesia.
You can't even stay for one night for observation, and there is no way to pay extra money on your own unless you choose to go to a private school.
What did Benson discover? Not long after, he saw the doctor again.
"Why you again?"
The doctor was a little surprised. Hadn't all the medicines been prescribed?
He still had an impression of the two foreigners, and now thanks to the World Company's 'simultaneous translation' software, communication was no problem.
This prompted Jay to immediately turn on the translator and say
"It's like this. We learned about the magic of this medicine before, but we were still a little worried, so after taking the medicine and waiting for a while, we wanted to trouble the doctor to do a check-up."
“I see.”
Recently, due to the popularity of these two stone-dissolving drugs from Umbrella, there are indeed many people who are skeptical, and this is not the first time he has seen this.
If someone wants to check, then of course they can check. New orders start to appear in the printer. Then he said with a smile.
"In fact, you don't need to register again. You are already my patients. This is a follow-up to the previous diagnosis. However, you need to sign the attached form and say that you are voluntarily checking in. I will cancel this registration form for you. You can take it to get the refund later."
The doctor said to the two of them after writing the prescription.
"Let's go check it out, thank you doctor."
Benson, who was also using simultaneous translation at the back, said to Jay at this time.
"I say, what can we find out by checking again now? You don't think that the exaggerated advertisement they make is true, do you?"
In fact, Jay has been still conducting simultaneous shooting and will be preparing for editing when the time comes.
"I think we can give it a try, what do you think?"
After entering the ultrasound room and learning the latest test results, Benson was stunned. Is he really gone?!
No way, how long has it been?!
I was supposed to have surgery!
"You should thank me for saving your gallbladder."
Jay patted Benson on the shoulder.
This even made Benson suspect that the doctor had cheated him, so he went to another hospital for another color ultrasound, but still nothing!
This time he didn't say anything!
"Oh, Jay, you really are my best friend."
"Well, is it not too much to ask for a small favor in return?"
"certainly!"
Then Jay showed Benson what he had filmed. Well, he turned on the beauty filter and locked on Benson, making the journey to seek medical treatment seem like a diagnosis by a beautiful girl. He just needed to change the voice when the time came.
"This will attract more attention. I believe you will forgive me..."
