I know the saying is poor people don't go into hospitals. Because you can't afford to go to the hospital even if you go in. And I am a poor person and I have been to the hospital for some reasons. I don't know the condition of others when they went to the hospital, I can only say something about my situation.
A few years because of marriage to buy a house at home, nothing left, only debt, then we are very poor, we save money, but then I was pregnant to do a checkup, then there is not much money in the hands, go to the hospital maternity with more than 500, thinking that maternity should be enough to spend . As a result, the doctor opened a bunch of lists to pay, how much money we do not know, the husband took the card to pay, the results of half a day of queuing finally caught up with the charges, the charges said that the examination fee of 781, but at that time we have only 500 yuan, the charges said that you can swipe the card, we had to say that we did not bring the card, because we have no money in the card.
Then my husband and I were both red-faced, and I think I can understand how he must have felt at the time. He must have felt ashamed, and probably felt sorry for me that I couldn't even afford a maternity checkup. I comforted him by saying that doctors are all liars and unethical, and that people who are fine prescribe so many tests. At that moment I felt that it was really sad and pathetic to have no money in life. If you don't have money, don't go into the hospital. And when I gave birth, because there is no money does not matter, to live in 14 people a ward, and rich people can live in a single room, no money we doctors and nurses see once a day, the attitude is also very bad. The rich people, doctors and nurses on call are.
Our rural elderly, parents do not dare to get sick, sick only in the small clinic to take medication and injections hanging water, not life-threatening diseases, they will not go to the county hospital, usually small clinics in the town, casually look. A trip to a big hospital may cost as much as a minor illness, which is a quarter of their income, which is the result of months of hard work, and after spending this money, they may not have the money to make ends meet for the next few months.
So the elderly in the countryside, who may have started out with a minor illness because they were afraid to go to the hospital, ended up with a major illness. They know how expensive money is, and they know the suffering of poverty, and they don't want their loved ones to suffer any more, so they are willing to go to the hospital without spending that money, because they know how important money is, and that's why they don't dare to spend money recklessly.
I am a sentimental person, sometimes I would like to think that nowadays young people, when you spend money recklessly, buy Apple 7 Apple 8, have you ever thought about your parents who stayed in their hometowns, maybe you buy this cell phone money, is their income for a season, maybe you buy this luxury price is their living expenses for a year, you only care about yourselves but forget about the people in the hometowns of the poor parents.
I hope that young people nowadays can save more money and save some money so that their parents can afford to see the doctor.
