Chapter 591: Are there such foolish people in the world?
"Alright then, I won't be polite with you." Ivy put her bag on the desk.
Wearing a white coat, she really had the aura of a white-clad angel.
"Where are my patients?" Ivy asked.
"Um..." Anthony looked apologetic, "Recently, there haven't been any difficult or serious cases. Anyone with a major illness has gone to the hospital above!"
"Well then, who am I supposed to treat? I can't just collect a salary for nothing, right?" Ivy walked out of the office. "Take me to the inpatient department!"
"Oh, alright!" Anthony happily led the way.
Missouri's population was not large, with just over 60,000 people, so the inpatient department of the clinic was not big, with a total of 60 beds.
Although there were only 60 beds, not a single one was empty.
Some of them were elderly patients with chronic diseases who needed long-term hospitalization.
Another group consisted of those who had undergone surgery in larger hospitals and were now returning for recuperation.
A very small number of patients required minor surgeries. Because for slightly larger surgeries, they would go to the county-level hospitals or above.
Starting from the first ward, Ivy checked the condition of each patient one by one.
The mayor and others followed curiously. They had heard that this divine doctor could save people through qigong, and today they would certainly broaden their horizons.
Each ward had three beds, with a total of 20 wards.
In the first room, on the first bed, lay an elderly person in their 90s. One of their legs had been crippled during the war, and they already had chronic conditions that made walking difficult.
What was even more unfortunate was that their spouse had passed away, and their children had all gone to work, leaving no one to take care of them. They could only live in the hospital alone, smelling the pungent odor of medicine every day for the rest of their life.
Fortunately, they had a pension, so there were no major issues concerning hospitalization fees, caregiver fees, and food and drink expenses.
On the second bed, there was a man in his fifties who had developed esophageal cancer at a young age. After undergoing surgery at a large hospital, he was discharged early due to the lack of available beds and now came to the town clinic for postoperative care.
On the third bed, there was a patient with a gastrointestinal illness who had been suffering from diarrhea for many days. They had been to various large hospitals without any improvement. Each time they went to a new hospital, they had to undergo new examinations such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy. In the end, a considerable amount of money was spent, but the problem was still not resolved. Now, they didn't have much money left and could only stay at their hometown clinic, receiving intravenous therapy every day.
The director of the clinic introduced Ivy to the patient's conditions, and then turned to the three patients and their family members. "This is Ivy, our newly arrived chief physician at the clinic. She is a divine doctor who can cure all diseases..."
Before Anthony could finish speaking, the family member of the patient on the second bed became angry. "A divine doctor who can cure all diseases? What nonsense is this? My loved one has cancer, can she cure that?"
Anthony confidently replied, "Of course she can. Otherwise, why would she be called a divine doctor? I'll have Foster, a divine doctor, treat your family member right now."
Just as Ivy was about to start treatment, the patient on the second bed rolled their eyes and clearly didn't want Ivy to come near.
Even his wife was even more disdainful, pushing Ivy away. "Don't touch my husband! Let me tell you, we have already spent all our money to treat him, and we still have a lot of debt to pay off. Don't expect to get any money from us! Not a single penny!"
"No way!" Ivy could understand the patients' feelings and smiled, saying, "I am not a fraudster, and I don't charge any fees. I am here to treat your husband for free."
"For free? Ha! I don't believe a word you say!" The woman pushed Ivy to the door directly, saying, "Get out, don't disturb our patients' rest!"
Anthony got angry and shouted, "Stop it! Who gave you the right to push our Doctor Foster? Doctor Foster's husband is the richest man in ancient Europe, with unlimited wealth. Is it necessary for them to deceive people? Jugold Hospital, the capital city hospital, how many big hospitals with million-dollar salaries are there? They offer cars and houses. With such great conditions, they invited Doctor Foster, but Doctor Foster chose our hospital. Consider it your fortunate luck. Let me tell you, don't be ungrateful!"
"Hahaha, the richest man in ancient Europe! Million-dollar salary! Cars and houses given!" The woman still refused to believe, "If they reject such fantastic conditions, then what are they if not fraudsters? Is there such a foolish person in this world?"
