Chapter 20: They are both public hospitals, why is there such a big difference?

Jinghai Third People's Hospital is bustling with cars coming and going.

Before going to the hospital, Lin Yan first asked the subway staff for the phone number of Zhou Hanya's parents. After a brief contact, the child's parents also agreed to send the child to the hospital first to avoid accidents, and she would come as quickly as possible.

However, when they arrived at the hospital, Martha suddenly felt a little worried.

"The Third People's Hospital... this... Yan, if I understand correctly, is this hospital a public hospital in Jinghai City?"

public hospital?

This question confused Lin Yan.

"It's a public hospital, right? What's wrong?"

"That won't work! We can't go to a public hospital!"

Martha hugged Zhou Hanya tightly and said anxiously, "Yan, public hospitals always require appointments, registration, and queuing, right? Hanya's condition is so critical now, how can we have the time to let her wait in line for several months?"

"Besides, how can the medical conditions in public hospitals compare to those in private hospitals? If something is misdiagnosed, wouldn't it ruin Han Ya's life?"

"Yan, let's go to another private hospital for Han Ya's treatment. I'm willing to pay no matter how much it costs!"

It can be seen that although they have only known each other for a short time, Martha really likes this cute girl.

But as the saying goes, "care too much leads to confusion." Her concern for the child is certainly a good thing, but a few words made Lin Yan and the Chinese audience in the live broadcast room a little amused.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Martha, you are mistaken. China's public hospitals are no worse than any private hospitals. There is no need to worry."

Martha stared at Yan with suspicion, as if asking "Really?"

In just a few hours in China, she has seen the "great" side of China. It is no longer the backward country that her father and his family came to China decades ago, but a truly modern country.

But! No matter how great China's infrastructure is, it still belongs to the category of humans! They are not gods!
"Yan, stop teasing me."

Martha pointed very seriously at the noisy scene outside the hospital entrance.

"Look, Yan, this is a public hospital. Many civilians who can't afford private doctors can only go to public hospitals for treatment, but how can public hospitals provide so many people with the same quality of medical services as private hospitals? Yan, you don't mean to tell me that such a hospital can handle so many patients!"

The number of people he saw outside the door alone started from three digits, almost close to a thousand!

Even if many of the people inside might be family members, there are also many patients in the hospital! How could such a hospital possibly handle it all?

Martha still can't forget the great epidemic three years ago.

It was a pandemic that affected the entire world, and the royal family of the Arab Emirates were also flesh and blood, so of course it was difficult for them to avoid it.

Only then did Martha feel what "insufficient medical resources" meant. The doctors who provided services exclusively for the royal family, the world's top doctors, were already at their limit in treating her parents, brother, and two uncles at the same time! As a royal princess, Martha even had to wait for "foreign aid" to arrive before she could receive treatment!

The world's top doctors can only serve a few patients a day. Even if ordinary patients don't need the same high-standard medical quality as the royal family, I'd like to multiply their number several times, a dozen a day at most!

But how many people are here?
In this period of time alone, there are hundreds of people seeking medical treatment! A normal outpatient visit during working hours alone would probably cost 5000 yuan! Even if Chinese doctors were gods, they couldn't possibly satisfy so many people! Either some people couldn't get treatment, or... all the doctors in public hospitals were just messing around!
I can never joke about Han Ya's safety!

The audience of the Chieftain of the Alliance didn't really care whether Han Ya was safe or not. At this moment, they were all amazed at the Huaxia Hospital.

"Is this really a public hospital? With this kind of decoration, this scale, more than 20 floors, and several campuses connected together, why does it feel almost the same as the private hospitals in our Arab Emirates?"

"Shouldn't a public hospital be small and run-down, where only poor people go? Why do I feel like this hospital looks pretty good at first glance?"

"Is this also China's magical infrastructure?"

"Maybe. I am really impressed by the magic of China. But the problem that Martha mentioned before is the fatal flaw. Even if the hospital is big and good, it is useless without doctors. I will assume that the quality of China's public hospitals can really be comparable to that of private hospitals, but where do they get so many doctors to satisfy so many patients?"

"It's normal for a country with a large population to have more doctors."

“But there will be more patients who get sick every day!”

"I say, don't you know how difficult it is to train a doctor? Not only does one need to have a smart mind, but one also needs to go through at least ten years of theoretical study at university and three or four years of practical study in a hospital. How can ordinary people afford that?"

"A doctor is a hidden aristocrat. I have been to so many countries, and I have never heard of any country where doctors are not a high-income group. With the cheap medical care in public hospitals, how can they afford so many doctors?"

"Hey, so in this case, China's public hospitals are no different from our small, shabby hospitals. Although they look pretty good, I can't afford the kind of 'medical services' that require waiting in line for months for minor illnesses."

Looking at the messages from the viewers of Allen Chiefs, Lin Yan figured out what Martha was worried about.

He smiled.

"Martha, don't worry so much. I should have finished treating Han Ya's illness by the time I had time to explain it to you."

"what?"

"Let me show you with your own eyes what Chinese speed is!"

Lin Yan pulled Martha and rushed to the emergency room.

The number of patients inside the hospital was even denser than the traffic outside. There were constant calls, inquiries, and announcements. In a trance, it was as if she was in a noisy market, and Martha once again felt how exaggerated the population of China was.

But “noisy” does not mean “chaotic”.

Through Lin Yan's live broadcast, everyone saw patients queuing up in an orderly manner to get their numbers, and nurses moving through the crowd to guide patients to various departments. Although it looked very noisy at first glance, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and no one's time was wasted.

The Arab League audience was stunned again.

"Oh God Almighty! This is a hospital? This is a hospital?? You told me this is a hospital???"

"The nurses were not lazy and asked people to wait obediently, and the patients were not impatient and made a fuss on the spot. All the noise was simply because there were too many people... This is not the hospital I imagined! How can there be such a harmonious hospital!"

"And this is a public hospital! I've never received such thoughtful service in a private hospital, even though I've paid a lot of money!"
