He continued, "My initial suggestion remains: transfer the patient. Don't bother with the city; go directly to the First Provincial Hospital or Second Provincial Hospital. The nephrology departments in these hospitals are among the best in the province. It's only at these hospitals that Li Dali has a chance to survive."
Lv Xuming also knew about Li Dali's situation, but he frowned and said, "Old Zhou, you know Li Dali's family situation; they're classified as impoverished. Sending him to our county hospital has already depleted their entire family's resources. There's simply no extra money to send him for treatment in the province. Even if mutual aid is initiated, you know that after deducting various fees, how much money really ends up in the patient's hands?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhou also fell silent.
