Chapter 853: Room-sharing

Chapter 853: Room-sharing

Dou Shuang opened her eyes and saw her father’s bed being pushed out.

Before her drowsy mind could register what was going on, she immediately wailed. “Daddy…”

“Oh, my goodness.” Her mother, sitting next to the bed, was startled, and she quickly covered her mouth before she said, “Your dad’s fine, the doctor pushed him out for an examination.”

Dou Shuang crawled up and looked at the people in the room looking at her while smiling. Then, she foolishly fell back to bed.

The father, who was being pushed outside, also heard her cry. He struggled to look up, waved at her, and said, “I’m fine.”

Then, he lay back on the bed weakly.

Dou Shuang looked worriedly at the corridor where her father was pushed into. At the age of seven or eight, she did not quite understand what it meant by examination, but since she could not see her dad anymore, she pursed her lips, and she still wanted to cry.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, your dad is just going for an examination.” The mother hugged her and rocked her. “He’ll be back in a while.”

Dou Shuang shook her head in disbelief. “Yesterday, you said that Uncle Lu was going for an examination, then, he was washed away by the flood.”

“Look at you, blabbering away…” The mother was instantly worked up, and she raised her hands as if she was about to hit her.

“Big sister, don’t take a child’s word seriously.”

“It’s no big deal.”

“What do children know anyway?”

The other people in the room took turns to convince otherwise.

The mother was actually just putting up a show. The people in the hospital were all affected by the disaster. Someone may have been washed away by the mudslide, but her family came out completely fine. If her child continued to talk nonsense, she would easily get hated.

Dou Shuang managed to escape from the disaster. She craned her head outward and asked, “How long will it take before daddy is back?”

“He’ll be right back,” the mother answered.

Dou Shuang asked with her youthful voice, “How soon would it be?”

“About an hour and a half.” The answer this time came from the door.

Dou Shuang followed her voice and called out, “Mommy, mommy, there’s a good-looking lady over there.”

“Yeah.” Her mother also sat up straight and stroked her hair subconsciously.

In front of her eyes was Tian Qi, who was dressed in professional attire.

“Little girl, your dad is going for an examination to ensure that he remains in good health. Once the examination is done, he will come back. Don’t worry, we can wait outside.” As Tian Qi spoke, she nodded to the others with a smile and continued, “Everyone, I’m the person in charge of Yunli Medical Company. Our company rented some rooms outside the hospital and would be providing them to everyone free-of-charge. The patients in the hospital can apply on a first-come, first-served basis. ”

“The rooms are free? Are there any garbage collection fees, management fees, or some kind of fees?”

“Can’t we just live in the room in the hospital?”

“How long can we stay there? My house has collapsed …”

Bazhaixiang’s room was originally a large six-person room. As of now, more than twelve patients were staying in the room. When the patient’s family members were added to the mix, there were now thirty people in the room. It was stuffy and smelly. In such an environment, they were already lucky that they were not infected, which meant that they could forget completely about taking care of their injuries.

It was impossible to add extra beds for the patients, but with so many family members in the hospital, the danger of nosocomial infection would be too high.

Tian Qi came with the second helicopter and saw that Yu Yuan was incredibly busy. So, she took the initiative to take over the responsibility of evacuating the family members of the patients.

Right then, the patients’ family members in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch were not quite the same as the usual patients. At the same time, they may also be people who were affected by the disaster. Therefore, regardless of whether they chased them out in a rude or courteous manner, the end result may not be satisfactory.

Many people were admitted to the hospital with minor injuries and minor illnesses. Some may not have anywhere to go back to. They might even be homeless, and they could only stay with patients who were seriously ill.

From Tian Qi’s point of view, the best solution was to find a good accommodation for them and then move their families over.

“Our company rented three buildings nearby. All the rooms are free. Not only do you not have to pay for waste management fees, but even electricity and water bills are waived.

“Each patient is only allowed to have one family member to look after them, and they can only visit during the day during the prescribed time. This is the best for the patients, and it can also reduce everyone’s burden.

“Everyone, you can live there for up to two weeks for free. If your homes are not suitable for accommodation purposes, you can apply for an extension of up to three months …”

Tian Qi easily answered everyone’s questions before she added a sentence at the end, “However, our company has limited capability, and we only have a number of rooms up for rent. Therefore, we’re going with a ‘first come, first served’ principle. Patients and family members who did not manage to apply, please do not take offense…”

As she said those words, the patients and family members who originally wanted to wait and observe the situation eagerly started to move.

“Then I want one.” Dou Shuang’s mother was the first to raise her hand. Both daughter and mother stayed to look after a patient mainly because they could not find a place to stay.

Her family was not directly affected, but it was a fact that her husband’s body had long been in poor health. However, he had always procrastinated from going to the hospital. He was hospitalized now, but that was mainly because he got a fever due to the rain, and his body felt weak.

As for her house, she could not go back right now because water had entered it, and she would need to clean it meticulously. In addition, the problem of water and electricity had to be resolved as well. But as of now, the hotels in Bazhaixiang were full, and the hospital beds were slightly cheaper.

Of course, even if the guesthouses in the village had rooms available, they could not afford them.

“I want it too, where do I register?” The man sitting at the door also stood up, glanced at Tian Qi, and lowered his head in shame.

Tian Qi smiled and indicated the location.

The man wanted to say a word or two to her, so he thought hard and asked, “Can we cook in the house?”

“It’s possible in most of them. We tried to furnish them completely with the necessary furniture and appliances, but some are still lacking because we just rented the rooms. So I’ll have to repeat what I just said. This is on a first-come, first-served basis. There will not be any kitchen appliances for the ones who rent the rooms later, but you can go to the public space to cook,” Tian Qi tried her best to explain.

At this time, the family members of the remaining patients in the room no longer hesitated, and they quickly went out to line up and register.

Actually, there were benefits to living in a hospital. Besides not needing to pay for accommodation, the hospital would definitely not miss out on receiving the government’s unified distribution of resources. Meanwhile, although the conditions in the wards were not good, that also depended on which sort of hospital room they were compared with. In contrast to the victims living in the schools, the hospital at least had floor tiles, sufficient bathrooms, places for bathing, and hot water. It was already considered pretty good.

However, similarly, when the hospital was compared to the residential buildings outside the hospital, the living conditions in it would be much worse.

Tian Qi smiled slightly when she saw this. She exchanged with Little Dou Shuang again before she went to visit the other wards.

…..

In the examination room, Li Kangxue operated the ultrasound machine quite carelessly. He was not originally from the field of medical imaging. If he were placed in Yun Hua Hospital, he would not even get to perform an ultrasound examination. However, compared to Yun Hua Hospital’s doctors, since he did not know how to do anything anyway, so spontaneously letting him operate the ultrasound machine could be regarded as the best utilization of human resources.

That was one of the benefits of a small hospital. There was no specialization whatsoever in it, and the medical staff had a chance to get involved in every field. After all, there was only so much hospital equipment. Whoever wanted to try them would not be rejected.

But it was only limited to those who knew how to operate the equipment.

Li Kangxue rubbed on the patient’s stomach for a long time, plus the scan obtained was also a little vague and blurry.

“I don’t see anything,” Li Kangxue said to himself.

“Why not look at my head? I usually have a severe headache.” Dou Shuang’s father, Dou Shan, frowned. His face was pale.

Ling Ran came over from the end of the examination room. The area of a village hospital was only so large, and it really saved some stamina for doctors when it came to walking.

“Is your face always so pale?” Ling Ran glanced at the B-scan and asked.

“Over the past few years, I am indeed a little pale, but that’s probably because I did not get any sun…” Dou Shan replied while giving an explanation.

Ling Ran asked, “Is it anemia?”

“It seems like it …”

Ling Ran looked at the B-Scan again. Without further hesitation, he said to Ma Yanlin next to him, “Give him a colonoscopy.”

Ma Yanlin answered to the order before he lowered his head diffidently. He looked around but did not see Yu Yuan. Then, he exhaled softly.
