1598. Changed to clinic
Qin Shiou frowned and said, "Why should we remove the community hospital that said goodbye to the island? Our medical expenses should be relatively low, right?"
Hamre said helplessly: "It is not the reason for medical expenses, but the provincial government has introduced a one-size-fits-all policy. All communities or township hospitals that have been established for less than three years must be removed!"
"Fuck it, one-size-fits-all? Who allows them to have one-size-fits-all?" Qin Shiou was furious when he heard this. Isn't this bullying? The hospital that was established for a short time will be removed? It's nonsense. Whether a region needs a hospital or not has anything to do with the time when the hospital was established?
Hamley signaled him not to be excited and said, "The provincial government's policies have been put down, and the provincial parliament has discussed them. We cannot decide these policies..."
Qin Shiou couldn't be unexcited. His wife and children are on the island now, and his wife is the mayor of the town. It can even be said that she is the island owner of the island. To be honest, he and Xiaodao are now in harmony!
After thinking about it, he said, "William, I think this may be possible. The hospital's funds are responsible for the town finance. Is it okay?"
Hamre smiled wryly and said, "Of course not. The finances of the town still belong to the municipal government? The municipal government still belongs to the provincial government? The money will eventually be placed in the finances of the provincial government. Do you think they will be willing?"
Like the United States, the government provides financial support for citizens' medical care. Of course, the income tax and other income of the municipal and town governments ultimately belong to the provincial government. The region will make its own budget, and the provincial government will review it, and finally allocate funds.
"Fake!" Qin Shiou cursed.
In fact, there is no way. There is another way, that is, he will fund the town’s medical care. This is not to say that he controls the town hospital and sets up a private hospital, but simply donates to maintain the operation of the town hospital by the nature of donations.
The provincial government welcomes such hospitals. They don’t have to pay for money, and the hospital can operate and the people will be satisfied. How good is this kind of thing?
But if this is the case, Qin Shiou would have to pay more money, and Canada has full free medical care. The residents of the town have social security. That year, he would have to spend millions of Canadian dollars on medical care and maintenance of medical equipment.
Qin Shiou has feelings for the town. He is willing to help the town within his ability, but he does not want to be fooled by the government as a sucker.
But, there are quite a few such surrenders in various provinces and cities, most of which are large local enterprises, and few individuals. Canadian enterprises pay attention to a sense of mission and responsibility. If they are located in some townships and suburbs, the operation of the enterprise will have more or less impact on the region. Regardless of environmental pollution or what, there will always be some impact.
Therefore, if enterprises want to continue to open, they must contribute to local residents. They often invest in sponsoring local medical institutions and provide welfare to residents in disguise.
There is also such an opportunity to say goodbye to the town. Dow Chemical once planned to build a factory on the island, but was destroyed by Qin Shiou. If it had not been destroyed at the beginning, the town hospital could have been maintained by Dow Chemical.
Although the town also resisted Dow Chemical to go to the island to build a factory, Qin Shiou was the one who took the lead. Now if the town hospital is abolished, it is difficult for anyone to associate this matter with Dow Chemical. Once it is connected, it is difficult for anyone to resent Qin Shiou.
Qin Shiou's difficulties are now here. Because of the energy of the sea god, he usually does not need a hospital if he is not sick. It doesn't matter whether the town hospital is withdrawn or not. But the town residents are not good, and the hospital is too important to them.
Sitting there in embarrassment. Qin Shiou didn't even have the intention to eat. What does it mean to be like chewing wax? Now, he looked at the lunch box in front of him, and it was no different from seeing a piece of wax.
After throwing down the fork, he couldn't help complaining: "My man, you are not reliable. I originally came to propose marriage to my friend today. I was quite happy that you agreed to this marriage. Then you immediately asked me a problem. This is really a world of ice and fire!"
Hamre comforted him, "It's actually okay, there is another way to solve this problem."
Qin Shiou looked at him expectantly.
Hamley said: "Now Dow Chemical is still expanding its production line, you can invite them back..."
"Turn! It's absolutely impossible!" Qin Shiou rolled his eyes. He felt that Hamre was teasing him.
Indeed, Hamre was teasing him and laughed at his reaction.
Qin Shiou stood up helplessly and said, "I'll go back first. I have to talk to Winnie about this news and let her consider what to do."
Hamre pressed his wrist down and signaled him to sit down, saying, "I really have a way to solve it when I was kidding you just now."
Qin Shiou looked at him suspiciously, and had already made up his mind that if this grandson still teased him, he would kill him!
Hamley said: "The provincial government's policy has actually loopholes. He wants to remove the hospital, but he has not removed the public clinic. He said goodbye to the town's community hospital with only one doctor and one nurse, right? Then just change the name, isn't it enough to change it to a clinic?"
Qin Shiou asked in surprise: "This is OK? That's that simple?"
Hamre shrugged and said, "What do you think? But this is not simple. To be honest, if you are not my campaign supporter, I wouldn't think of this solution for you. It sounds simple, but it is actually very complicated to build a public clinic."
In Canada, hospitals are almost all public, while clinics are almost all private. However, in order to help some special patients with sexual diseases, mental illnesses, drug use, etc., the government has held some public clinics, with very few numbers, so it is indeed difficult to approve them.
A clinic usually has only one general practitioner, a physician assistant, that is, a nurse. The doctor is responsible for the treatment, and the physician assistant is responsible for making appointments and nursing in the outpatient department. In terms of staffing, a small town hospital is really at the level of a clinic.
In this way, Odom will be demoted. He was originally the director of a hospital. Although the hospital is small in scale and only two people, a small-scale hospital must have a director. Now that the hospital has become a clinic, he has become a family doctor.
Qin Shiou thought about it, the one who was injured in this matter was the most uncontested Odom, who was also drunk.
In this regard, Canada adopts the same method as in the United States. Private clinics are managed by family doctors, radiating to a small community or a small population area. The appointment system is implemented and no registration fees or medical treatment fees are charged, which is still very good for residents.
But he felt that this was not reliable and said, "If it was changed to a clinic, Odom could only prescribe and not provide medicines, and he couldn't even have infusions. What's the use of me if I want him?" (To be continued.)
