Sun Mingshan’s old face was startled, and he seemed a bit at a loss.
"This, this, this." He said "this" three times consecutively, yet he couldn't utter a single explanatory sentence.
Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled playfully and said, "Director Sun, are you trying to say that these fees are all in accordance with regulations?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I mean." Hearing Chen Fan's reminder, Sun Mingshan nodded quickly.
He couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Chen Fan. He hadn't expected Chen Fan to not kick them while they were down, but instead find an excuse for them.
However, Sun Mingshan clearly thought too much.
Just as Sun Mingshan agreed, Chen Fan spoke again and retorted, "Since it's all in accordance with regulations, then please, Director Sun, list out these medications and fees one by one. I'd like to learn, under what circumstances can a patient incur expenses of five to six million within ten days."
"This, this." Sun Mingshan was speechless again. His face looked worse than if he had eaten ten pounds of dead rats.
He now wished he could slap himself. Why did he have to go and find Chen Fan? Wasn't this him digging a pit and burying himself?!
"Ms. Tan, this hospital will refund all of the old gentleman's expenses this time." There was no other way, so Sun Mingshan had to reluctantly concede.
"That's not right, Director Sun. Didn't we agree on something else when we made the bet just now?" Chen Fan suddenly interjected.
Hearing this, Sun Mingshan almost ground his teeth to dust and glared fiercely at Chen Fan.
Fifty percent of all patients' expenses – how much would their hospital lose!
"Dr. Chen is right. What I want now is your hospital's bill. I also want to know what these five to six million expenses were spent on," Tan Yun questioned coldly.
Sun Mingshan explained with a troubled expression, "Ms. Tan, a large portion of this consists of expert fees for those specialists. These fees are hard to explain; without them, some experts wouldn't even show up."
"Oh? Is that so? Then how much is my consultation fee? Why haven't I seen a single cent of it?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
Sun Mingshan's face turned awkward and he said, "I, I was waiting until after Dr. Chen successfully treated Mr. Tan before discussing this matter with Dr. Chen."
"You'll pay after treatment, which means if other experts don't succeed, they don't get paid? Then these five to six million were still spent at your hospital. If such a large sum cannot be reasonably explained, Director Sun, I'm afraid your position might not be secure?" Chen Fan asked playfully.
Sun Mingshan felt like crying. He had no choice but to look at the middle-aged doctor beside him and wave his hand, "Bring the treatment list."
The middle-aged doctor heard this and quickly withdrew from the ward.
After a while, he returned with the medical lists, a thick stack that looked rather chilling.
Tan Yun took it and looked, but she didn't understand any of it. She handed it back to Chen Fan, "Dr. Chen, please take a look and see if there are any problems."
Chen Fan glanced at the nervous middle-aged doctor and began flipping through the medical lists.
"Rescue fee list, 240 bottles of normal saline, 500L of antihypertensive medication, 100 doses of adrenaline." By the time Chen Fan read this, his eyes were wide open.
He couldn't help but look at Sun Mingshan, whose face was growing increasingly grim. "Director Sun, 240 bottles of normal saline a day, and 500L of antihypertensive medication – even a whale would choke to death on this antihypertensive medication and normal saline! And 100 doses of adrenaline, even the cows on the production team wouldn't dare to be injected like this, let alone an old man over sixty."
His words made Sun Mingshan blush crimson.
At this point, Tan Yun and the others finally understood. So this was how the five to six million medical expenses were incurred!
"Director Sun, shouldn't you give us a proper explanation?! If you don't give us a reasonable explanation today, you can expect to receive a summons! Also, I will hand all of this over to the media."
"We were blind to trust you scoundrels in the medical system!" Tan Yun was completely enraged.
"Ms. Tan, please calm down, calm down. This is all our hospital's fault. It might be a recording error on their part. We will refund you immediately, and for other patients, we will refund fifty percent." Sun Mingshan pleaded with a face full of desperation.
If this matter were to be exposed to the media, his reputation, which he had painstakingly built over the years, would be ruined overnight.
"Director Sun, do you think we are people who lack a few million? We will see this through to the end!" Tan Yun said righteously, her demeanor so imposing that the two middle-aged doctors' legs began to tremble.
Sun Mingshan's face had never been so ugly. However, no matter how much Sun Mingshan pleaded, Tan Yun was determined to bring these people to justice and remove them from the hospital staff.
Chen Fan was very satisfied with this outcome.
"The rest is up to you. I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye." Chen Fan had no intention of staying to watch the show.
In fact, seeing such things, Chen Fan felt a bit pathetic.
The reason the medical system was misunderstood was inseparable from these bad apples.
However, he also knew that in the face of immense profits, not everyone could uphold the bottom line of a doctor's dignity. He could only do his part, clearing out one by one as he could.
"Dr. Chen." Seeing Chen Fan walking out of the ward, Tan Yun quickly called out to him.
"Ms. Tan, is there something else?" Chen Fan turned to ask Tan Yun.
Tan Yun opened her bag, took out a checkbook, tore off a page, and handed it to Chen Fan. "Dr. Chen, this is your consultation fee. Thank you for saving my father."
Chen Fan looked at the amount on the check, one million.
Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, Tan Yun tore off another page. "This is two million, a token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Dr. Chen."
Chen Fan still didn't reach out to take it. He said calmly, "I'm here on official business. I don't accept personal money. The hospital will pay for the consultation."
After saying that, Chen Fan turned and left directly.
If they had approached Chen Fan themselves, he would have set the terms. But now, this was official business. If Chen Fan accepted this money, what would be the difference between him and people like Sun Mingshan?
"Dr. Chen." Seeing Chen Fan about to leave again, Tan Yun chased after him.
"Ms. Tan, is there something else?" Chen Fan asked.
"Dr. Chen, you saved my father's life. This is my business card. If you encounter any trouble in Kyoto, give me a call, and I will do my best to help you!" This time, Tan Yun handed him a business card.
"Alright, I'll take the card." Saying this, Chen Fan accepted the card and then walked towards the elevator in the corridor.
"This is a true doctor." Tan Yun watched Chen Fan's retreating figure, her heart filled with immense shock.
In the parking lot, Da Xiong saw Chen Fan coming out of the hospital and quickly walked up to him.
"Brother Fan, the assassin has been found!" Da Xiong's tone was filled with excitement.
