1598. Changed to Clinic

cpa300_4; Qin Shiou frowned and said, "Why did you withdraw the community hospital on Farewell Island? Our medical expenses should be relatively low, right?"

Hamre said helplessly: "It's not because of medical expenses, but because the provincial government has come up with a one-size-fits-all policy. All community or township hospitals that have been established for less than three years must be withdrawn!"

"Fuck it, one size fits all? Who allows them to one size fits all?" Qin Shiou blew up when he heard this. Isn't this bullying? A hospital that has been established for a short time will be withdrawn? What nonsense, does a region need a hospital? What does it have to do with when the hospital was established?

Hamre signaled him not to get excited, and said, "The provincial government's policy has already been decided, and the provincial council has discussed it. We can't decide on these policies..."

It is impossible for Qin Shiou not to be excited. His wife and children are all on the island now, and his wife is the mayor of the small town. It can even be said that he is the owner of the island. To put it officially, he and the island share weal and woe!

After thinking for a while, he said, "William, I think it might be possible to do this. The funding for the hospital should be covered by the finance of the small town, okay?"

Hamley smiled wryly: "Of course not. Doesn't the town's finances belong to the municipal government? Doesn't the municipal government belong to the provincial government? The money will still end up in the provincial government's finances. Do you think they will be willing?"

In Canada, like the United States, the government provides financial support for citizens' medical security. Of course, the income taxes and other revenues of the municipal and town governments ultimately belong to the provincial government. The regions make their own budgets, which are reviewed by the provincial government and finally allocated.

"Fake!" Qin Shiou cursed.

In fact, it is not completely impossible. There is another way, that is, he will fund the medical treatment in the town. This does not mean that he controls the small town hospital and establishes a private hospital, but simply makes a donation to maintain the operation of the small town hospital.

The provincial government welcomes the existence of such a hospital. It does not need their money, but the hospital can still operate and the people of the province will be satisfied. How good is this?

But if so. Qin Shiou had to pay more. Canada provides free medical care. Residents in small towns have social insurance, and after that year, medical care is added to health care. There is also the maintenance of medical equipment, which costs him several million Canadian dollars.

Qin Shiou has feelings for the town, and he is willing to help the town as much as he can, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of by the government.

But unfortunately, there are quite a few provinces and cities that have been taken advantage of. Most of them are large local enterprises, and there are relatively few individuals. Canadian companies pay attention to the sense of mission and responsibility. If they are located in some towns and suburbs, the operation of the company will more or less affect the region.

Regardless of environmental pollution or what, there is always some impact.

Therefore, if a company wants to continue to operate, it must contribute to the local residents. They often sponsor local medical institutions and provide benefits to residents in disguise.

Farewell Town can also have such an opportunity. Dow Chemical once planned to build a factory on the island, but Qin Shiou took the lead to destroy it. If it hadn't been eliminated at the beginning, the small town hospital could be maintained by Dow Chemical.

Although the whole town resisted Dow Chemical's establishment of a factory on the island at the beginning, it was Qin Shiou who took the lead. Now if the town hospital is revoked, it is hard to guarantee that no one will link this matter with Dow Chemical. Once connected, there is no guarantee that no one will resent Qin Shiou.

Now Qin Shiou's difficulty is here, because he has the energy of the sea god. Usually, if you don’t get sick, you don’t need a hospital, so it doesn’t matter whether the small town hospital is withdrawn or not. But small town residents can't, the hospital is too important to them.

Sitting there in embarrassment, Qin Shiou didn't even think about eating. What is tasteless? Right now, when he looked at the boxed lunch in front of him, it was no different from seeing a piece of wax.

Throwing down the fork, he couldn't help complaining: "Dude, you are so unreliable. I originally proposed marriage to my buddy today. I am quite happy that you agreed to this marriage, and then you gave me out immediately This is really a difficult problem, this is really a world of ice and fire!"

Hamley comforted him and said, "Actually, it's okay. There are other ways 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..."

"Trap! Absolutely impossible!" Qin Shiou rolled his eyes, damn he felt that Hamley was teasing him.

Indeed, Hamley was teasing him, and laughed at his reaction.

Qin Shiou stood up helplessly, and said, "I'm going back first, I have to tell Wei Ni the news, and let her think about what to do."

Hamley pressed his wrist to signal him to sit down, and said, "I was joking with you just now, but I really have a solution."

Qin Shiou looked at him suspiciously, and had already made up his mind that if the grandson still teased him, he would kill him!

Hamre said: "The provincial government's policy this time is actually flawed. He wanted to close the hospital, but he didn't close the public clinic. The community hospital in Bifare Town only has one doctor and one nurse, right? Then just do it. It’s enough to just change the name, why not just change it to a clinic?”

Qin Shiou asked in astonishment: "Is this okay? It's so simple?"

Hamley shrugged and said, "What do you think? But it's not easy. Seriously, Qin, if you weren't my campaign supporter, then I wouldn't think of this way for you. It sounds simple, but actually building a Public clinics are very complex."

In Canada, hospitals are almost all public, whereas clinics are almost all private. However, in order to help some special patients such as diseases, mental illnesses, and drug abuse, the government has established some public clinics. The number is very small, and it is really difficult to approve them.

A clinic generally has only one general practitioner and one physician assistant, that is, a nurse. The doctor is responsible for seeing patients, and the physician assistant is responsible for outpatient appointments and nursing work. In terms of staffing, the small town hospital is really at the level of a clinic.

In this way, Odom will be downgraded. Originally, he was the director of the hospital anyway. Although the hospital is small, with only two people, a small hospital also needs a director. Now the hospital has become a clinic. Became a family doctor.

Qin Shiou thought about it, the one who was finally injured in this incident turned out to be the most indifferent Odom, and he was also drunk.

In this regard, Canada has adopted the same method as the United States. Private clinics are run by family doctors and cover a small community or a less populated area. An appointment system is implemented, and registration fees and medical fees are not charged, which is very good for residents.

But he felt that this was unreliable, and said: "If it is changed to a clinic, then Odom can only write prescriptions but not provide medicines, even infusions, so what use do I need him?" (To be continued.)
