Through Song Yun's regular phone updates, Yang Ping learned that his patients at Xiehe Hospital were all very stable.
The patient who fell from a height and was impaled by a steel rebar did not develop the feared infection, seemingly because the extensive saline irrigation had worked, significantly reducing the rate of infection.
Due to the severity of his condition, he had not yet been transferred out of the ICU, although there was a trend of improvement in his condition. However, he faced a new problem: his wife had visited the hospital once to understand his condition, and had not come again. The ICU had called his wife several times, but she had refused to take the calls and explicitly stated that she refused to pay for his medical expenses.
This posed a significant dilemma for both the emergency and ICU doctors: both the rescue surgery and the post-operative ICU treatment had accumulated considerable medical bills, which would be a case without resolution.
