The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 157

　　In Fu Yun'an's hospital, twenty or thirty patients came in the afternoon of the first day, and on the second day, the number of patients who came for treatment was even more, thirty in the morning alone.

　　This number seems to be very small in modern times, but in this era, it is already very good. After all, seeing a doctor is expensive at this time, and doctors make a lot of money.

　　For example, Fu Yun'an, if you want to see him now, the consultation fee will be one yuan and two cents. After the diagnosis and treatment, the medicine fee will be calculated separately. As for the operation, it will be even more expensive.

　　For a doctor like Fu Yun'an, even if he only sees five patients a day, the five people will pay him nearly six yuan for the consultation fee, and he can earn nearly one hundred and eighty yuan a month.

　　His fees are expensive, and his attitude towards patients is very good. When Mu Qiong passed by at noon the next day, he saw Fu Yun'an explaining all kinds of precautions to a foreigner who came to see a doctor who vomited and pulled in great detail, and gave him a prescription. medicine.

　　It also includes a Chinese patent medicine.

　　This Chinese patent medicine has been sold for many years by the big pharmacy that cooperated with Fu Yunan. It is very suitable for this kind of symptom, but before they were sold as pills and sold in porcelain bottles, now they are put into glass bottles and attached to it. The shelf life is marked on the label, and it looks no different from some western medicines at this time.

　　Fu Yun'an spent more than an hour diagnosing and treating this patient, and even asked his assistant to help him lie on the hospital bed, drink hot water and take medicine, taking care of him very thoughtfully.

　　Of course, the patient also paid a lot of money for consultation and medicine - a total of five yuan in total.

　　In the sand shipyard, many people earn only five yuan a month for carrying sandbags and doing coolies.

　　"It's really expensive to see a doctor." Mu Qiong said, taking out the meals he brought and putting them on Fu Yun'an's desk.

　　He came to deliver food to Fu Yun'an.

　　"If you find someone else, it will be much cheaper." Fu Yun'an said with a smile. The general doctor in their hospital only needs two cents for the consultation fee, which is a fraction of his cost.

　　In fact, the poor suffer from the same disease, and they can also be cured with a few cents.

　　Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an had dinner together, and then they went downstairs. When they went downstairs, they saw someone downstairs installing a telephone.

　　Mu Qiong had seen a telephone in this era, but had never used it, so he stood by and looked at it——if this telephone is easy to use, the editorial department of the Educational Monthly Magazine can also install one.

　　Like Mu Qiong, there were many people who were curious about the phone. They all looked at it with great interest, and while they were watching, some people asked questions.

　　After asking the person who installed the telephone, Mu Qiong knew that the monthly fee for the telephone at this time was ten yuan, and generally he could only answer local calls in Shanghai.

　　The telephone is hung on the wall. Before using it, you have to shake it by hand for a while to let the phone power on. It does not need to dial a number, just pick up the receiver after shaking it, and directly report the number to the operator on the other end, and the number should also say a district name, such as No. 23 in the South District.
