Chapter 8: Who should be compensated?
"Sorry, no refunds."
At the cashier's window, the woman handed in the receipt and asked for a refund, only to get this answer.
"Why can't I get a refund? My son's stiff neck has healed. He has been prescribed so many physical therapies and massages, but they are no longer necessary!" the woman said confidently.
The cashier sitting inside pointed to the label on the glass - "No returns or exchanges after the medicine is sold!"
The woman then shouted, "It says medicine on it, but this isn't medicine, it's physical therapy and massage! If you don't return it, I'll call the police!"
The cashier had no choice but to say, "Well... the hospital stipulates that you must get the signature of the doctor who wrote the prescription before you can refund..."
The woman took the receipt and went to find Niu Hongliang again.
Niu Hongliang naturally didn't want to return it, but the woman was loud and said that if he didn't return it, she would call the police immediately. She was standing there, so Niu Hongliang couldn't refuse to return it, but he was just wondering in his heart, why did it suddenly get better?
"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely refund you what you owe me. I just want to ask, how can I get it back?"
"I took the child to the rehabilitation room. The male doctor asked about the child's condition, then twisted his neck with his hands, and the neck healed." The woman did not lie. After all, Zhang Han was also from the hospital.
She then praised him, "There are too few doctors as capable as him. My child goes to school every day, so he doesn't have time to come for physical therapy and massage. It's really thanks to him, otherwise it would have been a lot more trouble!"
Hearing this, Niu Hongliang cursed in his heart, "Zhang Han, you are showing off your ability! You even dared to break someone's neck. Do you know that 500 yuan is gone just like that!"
Fortunately, the woman didn't say that it was Zhang Han who asked her to return the money, otherwise Niu Hongliang would be even more angry to death.
After giving the woman the signature, as soon as she left, he immediately got up and left the room, heading for the recovery room.
Zhang Han and Xu Ruyi were sitting on chairs. When Xu Ruyi saw Niu Hongliang coming in, she immediately stood up and greeted him, "Doctor Niu."
Zhang Han didn't move at all. Seeing this, Niu Hongliang said angrily, "Zhang Han! You are getting more and more courageous now!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Han asked calmly.
"What's wrong? I asked you to do physical therapy and massage for rehabilitation, why are you making such a fuss? Do you know that this method of rehabilitation is wrong and that you need to pay compensation?" Niu Hongliang shouted.
"What did I say? Can you explain it more clearly?" Zhang Han pretended not to understand.
"What did you say! A student just got a stiff neck, and I asked him to come over for physical therapy and massage. What did you do?" Niu Hongliang widened his eyes.
"I just touched his neck and it healed. Can you blame me for this? You're not asking me to compensate him... Then call him over and ask me how to compensate him?" Zhang Han asked back.
"You!" Niu Hongliang was choked on the spot and didn't know what to say.
"Okay... okay..." He then pointed at Zhang Han angrily and said, "Okay, you have guts. I think you really don't want to do this anymore!"
After saying that, he turned and left the recovery room.
As soon as the people left, Xu Ruyi came to Zhang Han and whispered, "Master, I heard that Doctor Niu has a strong background in the hospital. It seems that he is a relative of the dean's family... We must not offend him..."
In the past, Zhang Han would not dare to offend. But now he is a member of the system, and the system's task is to cure the patient. He can't offend the system just because Niu Hongliang has a background.
"Treating illnesses is our duty. Didn't he say during the morning meeting that our rehabilitation level was not good enough? Now that the patient has been cured, I wonder what he can say." Zhang Han said nonchalantly.
As he was speaking, he heard slow footsteps outside.
The two looked towards the door and saw a middle-aged couple supporting an old man entering.
Zhang Han recognized him. It was Uncle Liu who had a herniated disc. Supporting him were his son and daughter-in-law.
The couple had unfriendly expressions and looked at each other coldly. As the old saying goes, there is no filial son around a long-term sick bed. Liu Jun was filial to his father, but his father was not well, so he was inevitably angry. He couldn't lose his temper with his father, so he took out his anger in the hospital.
This time, Zhang Han stood up and walked over to him. "Uncle Liu, you're here. My brother and sister-in-law...are here..."
"I wanted to find you yesterday! My father has been receiving treatment here for such a long time, but he is still not getting better. His waist hurts after he can't stand for a few minutes. Do you want to torture us to death? Even if the treatment is free in the future, we can't stand him running back and forth every day!" Liu Jun complained.
"Yes, yes... I understand how you feel... Let's do this, first help me get on the bed and lie down, and give me some traction..." Zhang Han said with a smile.
"It's not Xiao Zhang and Xiao Xu's fault. We can see that they have been doing their best..." Uncle Liu had a good impression of Zhang Han and Xu Ruyi, and spoke up for them.
After helping him lie down on the bed, Zhang Han lifted up Uncle Liu's shirt and began to touch his waist with his hands.
Lumbar disc herniation is 30% treatment and 70% care. Traction can have a certain effect, but it is difficult to control the strength. Usually a more conservative strength is adopted, based on the principle of treating rather than causing harm.
Zhang Han quickly figured out the problem. He deliberately said, "Uncle, your waist has almost healed after the traction. The only problem is that the force is not strong enough. I will increase the force for you later. What do you think?"
"Okay..." Uncle Liu agreed immediately.
“When you increase the intensity, it might be a little…”
“Crack!”
As he was speaking, there was a sudden crisp sound from Uncle Liu's waist.
This startled Liu Jun, and he quickly shouted, "What did you do?"
"I just used my hands to help you pull it. Uncle... does it hurt?" Zhang Han said.
"It doesn't hurt." said Uncle Liu.
"Then go down and try it." Zhang Han said.
"Going underground... isn't it pulling..." Liu Jun questioned.
"The traction is done... let uncle try... By the way, let's not do it manually, let uncle do it himself..." Zhang Han said this, but in fact his hands were still touching Uncle Liu's waist to confirm whether it had been repositioned. At this moment, he was confident in his heart.
"Let my dad do it himself! Is that okay?" Liu Jun frowned.
"How will you know if you don't try, uncle... please believe me..." Zhang Han said sincerely.
"good……"
Uncle Liu didn't want to burden his son every day, so he slowly turned over and found that his waist didn't hurt at all, just like before he was sick.
My two legs landed on the ground one after another, and after I stood up, I didn't feel any discomfort at all.
"Dad, how are you?"... Liu Jun and his wife asked one after another.
"It doesn't hurt...it doesn't hurt at all..." Uncle Liu couldn't hide his excitement.
Zhang Han also encouraged him: "Uncle, don't worry, it's okay. Stand for a while and see how . If there is no problem, take a few more steps."
"well……"
Uncle Liu nodded happily.
The hospital’s compensation is nothing more than free treatment. As my son said, who would want to go to the hospital every day? It’s not a good place.
After standing for about two minutes and making sure that his waist didn't hurt at all, Uncle Liu slowly walked around the rehabilitation room.
Liu Jun and his wife were also very excited when they saw this. The old man's back was fine, and the couple was finally relieved.
Xu Ruyi was even more astonished. Which button did she press to do this?
Everyone's attention was on Uncle Liu. Suddenly, an old lady's voice rang out at the door. "Hey! Uncle Liu, you can walk on your own!"
