Chapter 331 Divine Physician and Holy Father 3
"Dr. Li, I have late-stage lung cancer. Can you tell me if there's any hope for me? I've heard that you're a renowned doctor, so please save me."
Li Yong removed his hand from the man's pulse, his expression grave. "Late-stage lung cancer is a very difficult situation, but with my acupuncture and active medication, there is still a possibility of survival."
Upon hearing this, the man was overjoyed.
You know, major hospitals had all determined that he wouldn't live much longer, yet this Li Yong actually said he could cure him. How could he not be excited?
Whether it's true or not, let's give it a try first.
Anyway, people say this TCM doctor can write IOUs. If he can't cure me, he can just renege on the payment, right?
"Thank you, Dr. Li, but I wonder..."
Seeing the man's troubled expression, Li Yong knew that he probably thought his prices were very high.
"Are you worried about the cost? Don't worry, I never overcharge here. It only costs 10,000 yuan. However, I can't completely cure it. There is a possibility of relapse in the future, and you will need to continue treatment then."
(We don't really know, anyway, the setting is that he's a miracle doctor who can cure anything, which is a medical miracle, or you could say that traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive.)
The middle-aged man's face remained bitter as he listened, and he said with difficulty, "Dr. Li, ten thousand yuan is indeed not much for you, but for me, well... it's a long story."
“My name is Fan Liang. I have a seventy-year-old mother and two children in school. My wife is an ordinary worker. Since I got this disease, all our savings have been spent on hospital bills. If we could afford the medical expenses, we wouldn't have been kicked out of the house. Sigh…”
Li Yong felt deep sympathy for Fan Liang's situation, but as much as he sympathized, he himself was also at a loss for words, and he couldn't bring himself to offer free treatment.
"Why don't you go back and think of a way to raise the money? It's not too late to come back then. But you have to do it as soon as possible. Your illness can't be delayed. If it gets too late, I'm afraid even I won't be able to save you."
Fan Liang slumped into a chair, crying out in despair, "How could this happen? Even a hero can be brought down by a penny. I don't want to die! My wife and children are waiting for me at home."
He knelt down in front of Li Yong with a thud.
"What are you doing? Let's talk this out. Get up, get up first."
Li Yong rushed to help him up, but Fan Liang refused.
"Dr. Li, please, please save me. I've heard from others that you are a kind and good person at heart."
"I really don't have any money right now. Why don't you treat me first? I'll give you an IOU. Once I'm better, I'll work like a slave to earn money and then I'll definitely pay you back."
Seeing him like this, Li Yong was also in a dilemma.
This person isn't from Lijia Village, and he doesn't know him. Even if he signs an IOU, he won't be able to find the person if they run away.
Before he could speak, Liu Hong, who had been listening in the inner room for a long time, couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out.
"Go, go, hurry up and leave! What's the point of seeing a doctor if you don't have money?"
"Nobody's money grows on trees. If you don't pay, are you expecting me to pay for your treatment for nothing? Do you want my Li Yong to cover your medical expenses? Bah, shameless."
Li Hong, with the air of a shrew, launched a verbal attack on Fan Liang, who was kneeling down.
Fan Liang was so angry that his face turned red, his head was almost touching the ground, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
