Chapter 167: Special Funds
Faced with such a difficult problem, Zheng Hong was at a loss and didn't know how to solve it.
Wu Xiangdong saw this and made a suggestion to her.
"Mr. Zheng, actually we can apply to the hospital for a special fund to deal with matters like this."
After all, hospitals are public institutions and must assume corresponding social responsibilities and cannot be purely for profit. That's why Wu Xiangdong made such a suggestion.
"Will the critical hospital approve it? You know the situation of our emergency department. It is impossible to pass something like this without a good reason, right?"
Obviously Zheng Hong has thought of this, but the problem now is that it will take them more than half a year to apply for a rescue transfer bed, so how can the hospital provide you with this special fund.
"There is a saying that everything depends on the effort. Besides, our application actually helps the hospital save money in disguise."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Hong was immediately confused. She looked at Wu Xiangdong with a puzzled face, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
It was obvious that they were asking for money from the hospital in the emergency department, but why did they help the hospital save money when it came to Wu Xiangdong's mouth?
Seeing this, Wu Xiangdong suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. Zheng, you don't understand."
"When the emergency department was first established, it was to help emergency patients in the area and reduce the local mortality rate. Naturally, this included scavengers and other patients. This reflects the local hospital's life-saving spirit and also reflects the local community.
The improvement of the overall medical level is a result that everyone wants to see."
"But for emergencies, when we treat such patients, we will naturally face many problems such as wastage and missed payments. At this time, we naturally need support from the hospital and even society, because if we are left to shoulder the responsibility ourselves, we will become cold over time.
The heart of an emergency worker.”
"That's why in order to solve this dilemma, I proposed to apply for special assistance funds from the hospital."
Wu Xiangdong paused, and then said: "As for why it can help the hospital save money, you can think about it."
"If the patient we treat is kept in the emergency room because he is unable to pay the medical bills, the hospital will not only have to take care of his daily life, but also provide three meals a day and accommodation. Over time, the time and labor costs alone will increase.
It’s enough for the hospital to drink a bottle.”
"Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the hospital pay for their related expenses, and then contact the local welfare agency to take the person away. Isn't this a killing of two birds with one stone?"
Speaking of this, Zheng Hong was stunned. Wu Xiangdong's thoughts were beyond her expectation. She never thought that the matter could be solved like this.
"Doctor Wu, how did you come up with these ideas? It's so impressive."
"I believe, according to what you said, this batch of special funds will definitely be approved soon."
Zheng Hong always acted vigorously and resolutely. After communicating with Wu Xiangdong, she couldn't wait to report this matter to Luo Yong.
Just when she turned around and was about to go to the medical department again, Wu Xiangdong stopped her.
"Mr. Zheng, there is something I forgot to mention just now. The special funds applied for need to be noted that they can only be used on patients with Dugu or Sanwu."
Seeing that she was going to find Luo Yong at this time, Wu Xiangdong quickly told her some things that needed attention.
After all, the patients who can enjoy this fund must be those who have no source of livelihood, no ability to work, and no relatives or descendants as determined by relevant departments or organizations.
Otherwise, if anyone can use this special fund, the emergency department will be in chaos.
"That's really a point worth noting."
After hearing Wu Xiangdong's suggestion, Zheng Hong also felt that the matter of special funds must be discussed in the long term. After all, this matter involved the coordination of various departments. After thinking about this, Zheng Hong was not so anxious.
But at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the emergency room, and then the little nurse ran out from inside.
"Doctor Wu, something serious has happened." The little nurse looked anxious and called Wu Xiangdong's name as she ran.
"What are you making all this fuss about? This is an emergency room. If a patient sees you like this, you will look too unstable." Zheng Hong heard the little nurse shouting from the corridor and quickly leaned out to shout at it.
"Yeah, the head nurse is here too." The young nurse suddenly braked and stopped in place.
Originally, the head nurse should have gone home to rest at this time, but she had been communicating with Luo Yong in the medical department because of the female doctor's matter.
When the nurse saw Zheng Hong at this time, especially when faced with the pressure from her, the nurse was already trembling with fear and did not dare to make any mistakes.
At this time, Wu Xiangdong also saw the little nurse standing there in embarrassment. The atmosphere was suffocating, so he asked, "What do you want from me?"
"It's a patient in the emergency room..." The nurse suddenly paused, then glanced at Zheng Hong beside Wu Xiangdong with some caution, and immediately did not dare to continue talking.
After all, the patient who was being treated suddenly disappeared. This kind of thing had never happened to the nurse, but in any case, this time the matter was considered a big deal.
In the past, there were cases of patients getting lost in hospital wards. Although they were finally found outside and the patients did not have any problems, this incident was considered a very serious incident in the eyes of hospital leaders.
This was related to their face and the management of the hospital, so they slammed the table at the meeting and became furious. Not only were all the people on duty accountable, but even the head nurse was punished.
This incident was such a big deal at the time that later, in order to prevent the recurrence of missing patients, each ward not only strengthened patrols, guarded the door, but even chained the door of the entire ward before dark.
It's locked.
But now it's better. The incident of missing patients in the ward has now been transferred to the emergency department. When the young nurse thought about this, she was so anxious that she almost shed tears. If something happened to the old man outside, she might not be able to keep her job.
.
But just when she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, Zheng Hong's words suddenly rang in her ears.
"You are talking about the sudden departure of the old man with heart failure in the emergency room."
As soon as these words came out, the little nurse was dumbfounded. She raised her head sharply, looked at Zheng Hong who had a calm face, and said, "Head nurse, do you know everything?"
"Yes, Doctor Wu just told me."
"Dr. Wu also knows?" After hearing this, the little nurse saw that they were not anxious at all, but she became anxious first: "Then what should we do about this matter?"
