Chapter 2: Sky-High Medical Expenses

ey arrived at a western restaurant on the outskirts of town about half an hour later.This place isn't in the best location, some might even say it's a bit off the beaten path, but as they say, good fo...Xie Haitao was stunned by Ye Bufan's actions. After recognizing him, he shouted: "Boy, the person is dead, what are you still doing"

"Acting so filial If you really cared, you would have used the 50,000 yuan to get surgery done sooner. Your mother wouldn't be dead then. You don't even have the money and you still pretend. I despise people like you the most..."

He kept chattering beside her, but Ye Bufan ignored him completely, focusing intently on giving Ouyang Lan acupuncture.

"Hey, kid, did you hear what I said"

Seeing the young man in front of him ignore him, Xie Haitao's anger surged instantly. He shouted again, "Are you a doctor Bringing a broken needle here and stabbing around like this, do you want your mother to die in peace"

Let me tell you, this is a hospital ward, and it's charged by the hour. The previous medical bills haven't been paid in full, so what on earth are you doing here

"Stop it right now!"

Ye Bufan finally drove out the last needle, and then let out a long sigh.

The mother suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. This kind of disease is nothing to the old medical school, and luckily she came back in time. If it had been delayed any longer, it would have been too late.

Xie Haitao shouted, "Boy, are you done messing around This whole time has also been charging."

He then said to Zhang Xiaoman, “Call the funeral home immediately and have them take the body away.”

Ye Bufan said coldly, "You quack doctor, what nonsense are you talking about My mother is still alive!"

Xie Haitao said with disdain, "Alive Are you mentally ill If your mother could come back to life, I would let you take my position as the chief physician..."

As he was speaking, suddenly the monitor by the bed beeped once and then resumed working. To Ouyang Lan's astonishment, her heartbeat returned.

At first, it was a bit sluggish, but then it went back to normal quickly.

"What... what is going on"

Xie Haitao and Zhang Xiaoman were both dumbfounded. Just now, this person had no signs of life at all, how could he suddenly come back to life If this wasn't a hospital room, they would really think it was a zombie resurrection.

Ye Bufan saw that the heat was almost ready, so he raised his hand and took back all the silver needles on his mother's body, and removed the monitoring devices one by one.

Once he was finished with all of that, Ouyang Lan suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around, saying, "Son, where am I"

"Mom, you're finally awake."

Ye Bufan excitedly grabbed Ouyang Lan's hand. If it hadn't been for the chance to inherit the ancient medical sect's teachings, their mother and son would have truly been separated by life and death.

Xie Haitao's eyes widened instantly, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He knew about Ouyang Lan's illness better than anyone else; even if she hadn't died, it was impossible for her to recover this quickly.

Ouyang Lan said: "Son, what's wrong Mom remembers suddenly fainting. Am I sick Will it cost a lot of money"

"It's okay, Mom. You're better now. Let's go home."

Ye Bufan had just cured his mother's cerebral hemorrhage and also sorted out all the other hidden illnesses in her body.

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

"Alright, let's go. I told you that minor ailments don't require a hospital visit, just some rest."

Ouyang Lan raised Ye Bufan and his sister alone, their lives were hard, and she was most afraid of spending money on the hospital.

As she spoke, she got out of bed, and the two of them were about to leave.

"Halt! You may not leave yet."

Xie Haitao stood in front of the two, shielding them.

Xie Haitao said, "You can leave if you want, but you have to pay the medical bills first."

Ou Yang Lan said: "Oh, you're welcome. How much do I owe you, doctor"

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

"What, so much money"

Ou Yang Lan was startled. If it hadn't been for Ye Bu Fan helping her improve her body just now, she would probably have fallen back into bed.

Ye Bufan angrily said, "I saved my mother myself, why should I have to pay so much"

"This is a hospital ward, we charge by the hour. Plus the cost of rescue medications, that's how much it comes to."

Xie Haitao said, throwing a stack of medical expense details to Ouyang Lan. "Take a look, in order to save you, we spent a lot of manpower and drugs. Otherwise, you would have died long ago, how could you be standing here talking."

Ou Yanglan held the bill, she didn't understand medicine at all. The only thing she could see was the shockingly high price on it.

Ye Bufan glanced at it, his expression immediately sinking. “Are you sure all of this is for my mother”

He is a third-year student at Jiangnan Medical University. Although he has not graduated, he knows something about some common medications.

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

Ye Bufan was furious. He grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall.

"A person like you, incompetent enough but also so spiteful. How dare you call yourself a doctor"

Xie Haitao's neck was trapped, and he suddenly felt short of breath. No matter how hard he struggled, Ye Bufan's hand remained unyielding like an iron clamp.

Ouyang Lan and Zhang Xiaoman were both startled, not understanding where Ye Bufan's sudden anger came from. They hurriedly came over to try and stop him.

Zhang Xiaoman stepped forward and tugged at Ye Bufan's arm, but she found that his seemingly slender arm felt like a mountain, immovable.

"Son, you have to let go. Hitting someone is illegal."

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

"Cough... cough... cough..." Xie Haitao finally breathed in fresh air, panting heavily.

Ouyang Lan said, "Son, what's the matter Why are you so angry"

"This black-hearted doctor, before he wanted me to pay 50,000 yuan for surgery. If I couldn't afford it, he just left me to die!"

Just now, another quack doctor misdiagnosed you as dead. This is a callous disregard for human life!

Now he's faking things, prescribing random drugs, most of which you don't need. He then comes to us demanding payment! How can someone like this be a doctor!

"Don't talk nonsense! These are the emergency medications for your mother. You have to pay today, or I'll send all of you to jail!"

Ye Bufan took the fee list and said, "You're taking advantage of our ignorance, aren't you My mother has a severe brain hemorrhage, but this prescription has blood clot medication on it What is this ginseng injection solution about"

Also, all these injections Added together they weigh over 25 kilograms. Could it be that everything was used on my mother

"Even an elephant couldn't withstand 25 kilograms of intravenous fluids in less than 24 hours, could it"

"I…"

Xie Haitao was completely dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.

He originally thought the mother and son knew nothing, so he prescribed a bunch of drugs randomly.

Firstly, he could get a commission from the hospital. Secondly, selling these drugs would bring him another profit. He had often done this before, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Ye Bufan today.

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

A middle-aged man cried out, "Doctor, please see what's wrong with my son"

The nurse beside him stepped forward and said to Xie Haitao, "Director Xie, this patient was arranged by Zhou, the director of the Health Bureau. He told us we must do everything we can to save him."it. With a cold smile, she was ready to take it out on the two disciples in front of her."I'll see who dares to touch my Jueqing Valley's disciples!"And just then, a roar echoed through the air as Jue...
