Chapter 2335
To put it simply, Zhu Yanyi wanted to reclaim the medical ethics and conscience of a doctor.
She remembered a clear event from her past life. She had a friend who was a writer. That friend’s father had liver cancer. Many hospitals had diagnosed it as late-stage liver cancer. They advised against a liver transplant. Instead, they suggested the family spend more time with her. They told her to eat what she wanted and do what she wanted, so she would have no regrets.
However, problems arose when they visited an expert clinic at one hospital. The expert told the writer’s father that a transplant was possible. But he said it could not be done at that hospital. He directed them to a new hospital. Later, they learned that the new hospital was actually a private clinic owned by that same expert doctor.
Because it was a private hospital, medical insurance could not be used. The family had to pay the full cost for the liver transplant. Moreover, they could not transfer money electronically; they had to pay in cash. The surgery cost a full million. Fortunately, the writer’s family had some savings, so they did not mind the money. However, spending the money only bought them regret.
The doctors had originally estimated the father could live for three more months. After the transplant, he lived only half a month. He died from various complications. His death was very painful.
Could they complain to the hospital? Could they demand an explanation? The doctors claimed that when complications arose, they requested another surgery, but the patient refused. Besides, for such a high-risk surgery, the family had signed the consent forms. Therefore, the writer’s father was essentially a live experiment for their liver transplant technique.
Thinking of today’s events, Zhu Yanyi involuntarily recalled this story. If that expert doctor had not acted out of selfishness to seek personal gain, the writer’s father would still have died eventually. But at least she would have passed away peacefully. Instead, she died after spending money to buy her death. How could anyone bear that?
The profession of a doctor is sacred because a doctor’s hands should save lives and heal the wounded. This is different from merchants, yet similar. A merchant’s interest is money. A doctor’s interest is life. Thus, a doctor’s interest is clearly higher than a merchant’s. If there were no people, who would buy a merchant’s goods?
A good doctor brings good news to many families. A good doctor brings benefits to many merchants. A doctor can affect the fortunes of thousands of families. Few people understand this point.
For many people, being a doctor is just a high-return career. Doctors have good benefits and high salaries. Many people want to be doctors because of this mindset. This misunderstanding likely causes people to misunderstand the medical profession.
This time, Zhu Yanyi wanted to use the method of a traveling doctor. She wanted everyone to understand what a true doctor should do. She wanted to show the meaning of a true doctor’s existence. Only when doctors and patients understood this would they avoid leaving regrets.
“What does the medical vehicle you modified look like?” Zhu Yanyi asked Yan Aohan curiously.
Yan Aohan thought for a moment. “The vehicle is divided into two parts. One part is for indoor consultations. Usually, if the weather is good, we can consult outside. But if the weather is bad, we consult inside. So, one part is a consultation room. The other part is an operating room. If a patient needs emergency surgery and no hospital operating room is available, this temporary operating room will be used.”
Yan Aohan smiled. “Wife, I have already refined the ‘Pharmacy for the Destined’ you mentioned last time. You can check it in the space when you are free. If you are not satisfied, I can modify it.”
“Really refined?” Zhu Yanyi’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go see it now.”
They looked around to ensure no one was watching. Then, the two entered the Ruyi Space.
Yan Aohan led Zhu Yanyi to the thatched cottage. He took out a house-like artifact and handed it to her. “Take a look. How do you want to change it?”
Zhu Yanyi scanned the house with her spiritual sense. The structure had an ancient architectural style. There was a consultation desk. Behind it was the doctor’s seat. In front were two chairs. Behind the doctor’s seat was a wall of drawers. Yes, all drawers. Not only there, but the surrounding walls were also drawers. They could store various medicinal materials. Behind the drawer wall was an operating table. Of course, if this pharmacy was used, very few people could enter for surgery. After all, only those with destiny could come here.
“There is even a bedroom, guest rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom in the back. You are too thorough,” Zhu Yanyi said to Yan Aohan after inspecting it.
Yan Aohan laughed. “So, you are quite satisfied with this. I am relieved.”
Yan Aohan had put a lot of effort into this house.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. “In this way, after I ascend, we can take this ‘Pharmacy for the Destined’ everywhere to travel.”
Yan Aohan nodded satisfactorily. “This pharmacy has a special barrier I created inside. If one day I am not by your side, and you encounter a strong enemy that you cannot escape, and it is inconvenient to enter the space, you can release this pharmacy and hide inside. Unless their cultivation is higher than mine, they cannot break this barrier. You will be absolutely safe inside.”
When Yan Aohan refined this pharmacy, he considered many things. One consideration was Zhu Yanyi’s safety.
Now they were together. But in the future, due to cultivation issues, they might be separated for a time. So, Yan Aohan had to prepare for Zhu Yanyi in advance.
Zhu Yanyi hummed. “I remember.”
“Alright. If you have no objections to this pharmacy, let’s go out first. We have walked around enough,” Yan Aohan said.
Before leaving, they scanned the surroundings to ensure no one was present or passing by. Then they exited the space, holding hands, walking slowly.
When they reached the door, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan found Li Yang waiting outside. They walked over.
“Brother Li, why didn’t you call us?” Zhu Yanyi asked.
Li Yang smiled. “It’s okay. You would come back anyway. I thought I would wait a bit longer. If you didn’t come back, I would send you a message.”
“Let’s talk inside,” Yan Aohan said, opening the courtyard gate.
The three walked into the courtyard. They saw Zhu Shunyao had also returned.
Zhu Yanyi saw Zhu Shunyao. “Dad, have you eaten dinner?”
“No,” Zhu Shunyao said. “I was busy all day and had no time to eat. Ani, just make me a bowl of noodles.”
“Okay,” Zhu Yanyi agreed. “Brother Li, have you eaten?”
“No,” Li Yang said without hesitation. In front of Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, she did not lie. If she hadn’t eaten, she said so. If she lied, she would suffer later.
“Then I will make you a bowl too,” Zhu Yanyi said.
“Thank you, Madam,” Li Yang said.
Previously, she called her Miss. Since Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan married, they all called her Madam.
“You might as well call me Sister-in-law,” Zhu Yanyi said casually.
“No, we still call Young Master Yan ‘Young Master Yan’. Naturally, we call you ‘Madam’,” Li Yang directly objected.
Zhu Yanyi was just joking. She didn’t think much of it. She went into the kitchen and quickly made two bowls of noodles. She also made four bowls of double-skin milk pudding. She brought them all out.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan each ate a bowl of double-skin milk pudding. The rest were for Zhu Shunyao and Li Yang.
Yan Aohan took a bite of the double-skin milk pudding and nodded. “The taste is good. Did you reduce the sweetness?”
“Yes. I used the sweet juice from sugar grass instead of white sugar. So the taste is natural. The sweetness is relatively lower. But I think it tastes better,” Zhu Yanyi said after taking a bite.
Yan Aohan finished his bowl of double-skin milk pudding in one go. Then he watched Li Yang finish his noodles and eat the double-skin milk pudding. Li Yang ate much faster than Zhu Shunyao.
After eating, they all sat in the living room to drink tea.
“Has the car arrived?” Yan Aohan asked Li Yang.
“I drove a tour bus. It arrived early. As you instructed, I parked it in the outside parking lot so no one noticed. Brother Luo is waiting for the medical vehicle,” Li Yang reported to Yan Aohan.
“I know about the tour bus. What about the medical vehicle?” Zhu Shunyao had just returned and naturally did not know what happened to Zhu Yanyi.
Hearing Zhu Shunyao’s question, Zhu Yanyi said, “This happened to me. I went to work at the People’s Hospital today. I found that the People’s Hospital does not value doctors or patients. I touched upon it slightly and found that while there are a few doctors with medical skills, several are there due to connections. Moreover, many people’s medical skills are problematic. So, I do not plan to continue at the People’s Hospital. Instead, I plan to use the medical vehicle as a traveling doctor.”
Zhu Shunyao frowned slightly upon hearing this. “This is a key hospital in Yong City. How can the doctors inside be like this?”
“Who knows? Anyway, I have discovered this. I have also mentioned it to my senior brother. As for how they investigate and handle this matter, I do not care. I think it is better for me to be a barefoot doctor,” Zhu Yanyi said, sticking out her tongue. Then, as if remembering something, she said, “By the way, this morning, I accepted a patient. Her legs were crushed, and the doctors at this hospital sawed off her legs. Based on her internal injuries, I judged that even if her leg bones were damaged, it was at most venous atrophy. It was absolutely not time to saw them off. However, I did not say anything. I just asked her to apply for special materials. I do not know what the hospital director will do. Aohan, perhaps you can have someone follow up on this. Regardless, she is my patient and my elementary school classmate. I still want to help her.”
