Chapter 393 - 275: Police Intervention, Boss Reluctantly Pays Up
Chapter 393 - 275: Police Intervention, Boss Reluctantly Pays Up
The next day,
Qin Feng had just finished his shift early in the morning, but he couldn’t leave yet.
Soon, several department heads came to the ICU conference room to discuss the specifics of the amputation surgery.
"It’s really unexpected, I didn’t expect the recovery to be this good."
"Initially, I was opposed to this treatment method, but it turns out it was indeed timely."
"There are currently no detailed guidelines for biotherapy worldwide, so you can’t be blamed."
"This treatment was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations, and it’s a blessing for the patient!"
"Qin Feng, you deserve credit for this!"
...
When everyone saw the patient’s regeneration function mostly restored five days after treatment began, they couldn’t help but marvel.
After all, although biotherapy has existed in the medical field for a long time, it is indeed rarely used.
On one hand, due to its great uncertainty and lack of standards, and on the other hand, patients are unable to accept it.
Unless, like this patient, they have reached a point where they have no choice, and also endure considerable pain.
Honestly, if the therapy had still led to the same amputation outcome as before, not just them, but even the patient and their family couldn’t accept it.
There might even be a risk of medical disputes!
But now it seems, Qin Feng’s choice at that time was right!
"Alright everyone, stop with the praise, hahaha~"
At this moment, Liu Haihong smiled and stood up, saying,
"Dr. Qin and I have already discussed with the patient and their family in advance; they are satisfied with this result and agree to the decision of amputation below the left knee."
"Next, I’ll discuss the amputation plan jointly discussed by our Burn Department and Orthopedics with everyone."
After she finished speaking, she took the remote and opened the surgical plan PPT.
...
Meanwhile,
In the ICU hallway, several people in work clothes were surrounding the foreman who had been here before.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense!
"I say, Old Zhou, you can’t do this. Just 2000 yuan and that’s it?
Old Lu is just lying in there, and this money won’t last two days!"
"Exactly! We all came out to work, and now that something happened, we are just kicked aside."
"Let me tell you, the medical bills for Old Lu must be covered by the boss, we appreciate you calling him!"
...
Everyone spoke one after another, pushing the man holding the envelope to the wall.
"Listen to me, it’s not that I don’t want to give it!"
Foreman Zhou raised his hand to pause, saying helplessly.
"I called the boss, but he said Old Lu drank himself into trouble, which has nothing to do with the site and doesn’t count as a work injury.
If he doesn’t admit it or pay, what can I do?"
"What does the boss mean, how can it not count as a work injury?
If it happened at the site, then it’s a work injury!"
One of the men, hearing this, suddenly burst out in anger.
"This is the ICU, patients need quiet! If you want to argue, take it outside!"
Hearing the commotion, a nurse immediately came over and reprimanded them.
Only then did the group stop talking and dragged the foreman towards the staircase entrance.
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t be like this, let go first, okay?"
Xia Dongyang followed behind, looking very upset.
"Don’t worry, we’ll find a way to get Old Lu treated first; the money has to be forked out by the boss."
A worker beside him sighed and comforted him.
"But... now the medical bills are already overdue, and I don’t have any money."
Xia Dongyang said quietly, feeling wretched.
He and Lu Yongbo were from the same hometown, and it was Lu Yongbo who brought him out here.
Previously on the site, if Lu Yongbo hadn’t pulled him in time, he’d probably still be lying on a hospital bed.
That piece of giant double-layered glass weighed at least a hundred pounds; having it fall on you is no joke.
In the hallway by the stairs, Xia Dongyang listened to the foreman still making excuses, acting like he had no options.
He pushed everyone aside and grabbed the man’s collar, shoving him hard against the fire door.
Bang~
"Zhou, let me tell you, don’t take us for fools!"
Xia Dongyang was really angry; now Old Lu’s life was uncertain, and the site boss didn’t want to pay even a cent.
They had no medical insurance; if the site didn’t help, it was just waiting for death.
He couldn’t just take an urn of ashes back to his hometown; how would he face his sister-in-law and Lu Yongbo’s child?
"Xia Dongyang, what do you mean?"
The foreman, in pain, immediately turned sullen,
"I’m telling you, if you have the guts, go find the boss; I’m just a worker too."
Thud!
As soon as he finished, Xia Dongyang pulled out a sharp screwdriver from somewhere, stabbing it hard by his ear.
"I’m telling you, if something happens to Uncle Lu, don’t expect to get off easy!"
"I’ll hire a lawyer to sue you; don’t think you can cheat us just because we’re not well-educated!"
"The hospital doctors all told me, what happened to Uncle Lu is a work injury, and the medical fees must be paid accordingly!"
"Who... who told you that?"
Hearing this, the foreman was stunned for a moment, stammering.
"That’s none of your business! Call the boss!"
Xia Dongyang’s move shocked everyone.
Foreman Zhou looked at his eyes filled with anger and had no choice but to take out his phone and dial a number.
"Uncle Zhang, first call 110 to report it; let the police help."
"No, no, no, I’ve already called."
Seeing Xia Dongyang about to report to the police, Foreman Zhou hurried to stop him,
"President Xu, it’s Xiaozhou. Here’s the situation: Old Lu at the construction site is now in emergency care and urgently needs money.
Yes, yes, yes, you can’t do this. After all, it happened on the construction site, the medical expenses..."
"What medical expenses! Nonsense! If he drinks himself to death, it has nothing to do with me!"
"President Xu, if you say that, I can’t help you. They’ve already reported it to the police and want to sue you.
The workers aren’t fools. Now we have legal aid. You’d better come by."
Foreman Zhou wasn’t a fool. He knew if the boss didn’t show up, he might not be able to leave today.
He simply borrowed the workers’ words to threaten a little; as long as the boss came, it wouldn’t be his problem anymore.
After all, he wouldn’t be the one paying!
After hanging up the phone, Foreman Zhou looked at Xia Dongyang.
"Well, President Xu said he would come over soon. You can let go now."
Hearing this, Xia Dongyang finally let go.
Soon, the police arrived first.
After a full one and a half hours, a man with a briefcase, wearing sunglasses, and looking gaunt appeared in the Intensive Care Unit.
Seeing the person arrive, several workers quickly surrounded him.
"Let me tell you, even if we go to court, I’m not afraid!"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, the construction site boss opened his mouth with arrogance, then pulled out two stacks of money from his briefcase and threw them on a seat,
"Treat this as the medical expenses I’m giving. As for the rest, Old Zhou has told you; don’t bother me with this matter."
"Are those human words?!"
"What, you want to fight? The police are here."
President Xu’s face showed a mocking smile, speaking harshly,
"You can sue me, but can he afford to wait? Heard of Tianhong Law Firm? I know the best lawyers in Beijing!"
After finishing, he pointed at the ward.
After his words fell, everyone was silent.
Xia Dongyang gritted his teeth, his fists clenched.
"Then I’ll sue you!"
"Go ahead, go ahead, I’m waiting for it."
President Xu raised his hand and then looked at the workers,
"Why are you all standing here! Don’t you have work to do? If you don’t want to work, get lost! There are plenty of people who want to work!"
Hearing these words, the workers felt a bit intimidated.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.
"Oh? You know people from Tianhong Law Firm?"
Immediately, a light laugh sounded,
"Tell me, who do you know?"
"Is it any of your business? Who are you?"
Hearing this, President Xu turned to look at the newcomer and arrogantly shouted.
"Me, Lu Yongbo’s attending physician."
Qin Feng smiled, looking at him with hands behind his back,
"You must be the construction site boss. I’ve been looking for you."
"Looking for me? You’re a doctor; aren’t you supposed to treat patients? What do you want with me?"
Hearing this, President Xu asked in confusion.
"To collect payment, of course. Lu Yongbo’s surgery and treatment fees are still owed. At least another 200,000 is needed, and you have to pay it."
Qin Feng shrugged.
"Bullshit! What’s it got to do with me?"
President Xu spat, pointing at him, "Let me tell you, this doesn’t concern you, mind your own business."
Ring ring ring~
Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
President Xu heard the ring, took out his phone, and answered it.
"Hello, what’s up?"
"What?!"
The next second, everyone saw President Xu’s face change dramatically, exclaiming,
"Alright, I got it, I’ll be back immediately."
After hanging up the phone, his face looked dark and extremely displeased.
Immediately, President Xu started to jog out.
"Hey, hey~"
Seeing this, Xia Dongyang reached out to stop him, but Qin Feng stopped him.
"It’s okay, let him go. He’ll be back soon to pay."
"Dr. Qin, this..."
"Don’t worry; I’ll find a way to cover the expenses temporarily. Give me your phone number; someone will contact you to sort it out."
At these words, Xia Dongyang hesitantly gave him his phone number.
Soon, people dispersed, leaving only Xia Dongyang to stay as a companion.
Returning to the office, Qin Feng sent out Xia Dongyang’s phone number.
’You can contact now.’
’Chen Dong: Got it! I’ll handle it immediately!’
