The Lu brothers (second from left, third from left) went to the hospital to express their gratitude.

Narration: "Arrears" spanning half a century

It turned out that in the 1970s, the mother of the Lu brothers was transferred from the county hospital to Longyan District Hospital (the predecessor of Longyan First Hospital) for treatment due to severe tetanus. After careful treatment and nursing by medical staff, the mother was able to recover. When she was discharged from hospital, the hospital also used an ambulance to take her home. However, due to the difficulty of his family at that time, he was unable to collect medical expenses. Finally, he owed the regional hospital more than 100 yuan of medical expenses. The hospital's spirit of healing the wounded and rescuing the dying is remembered by their families.

The family still remember the past. Mr. Lu said that there were six brothers and sisters in his family. I was the youngest and only 8 years old. At that time, we spent more than 400 yuan before and after treatment in the regional hospital, and we paid 200 yuan. As we were poor, we really couldn't afford to pay. It happened that both the elder brother and the second brother were carpenters, so we applied for hospital care. We deducted part of the medical expenses by repairing tables, chairs and beds. Finally, we still owed more than 100 yuan for medical expenses. Later, the hospital took the initiative to help us and asked the family members to find the production team and the people's commune to stamp their family's difficulties, which exempted the remaining medical expenses.

Half a century has passed. Now, Mr. Lu, who is nearly sixty years old, is deeply worried. Even though he was exempted from medical expenses, he and his family always feel that they still owe the hospital, and are deeply worried that this "debt" must be paid!

Wish: "Pay the debt" and want to thank you in person

Mr. Lu said that this was a late "debt repayment". He felt guilty and hoped it would not be too late. Thanks to the full treatment of the hospital in those years, more than 100 yuan in the 1970s was a huge sum of money. If I gave up treatment at that time, my mother would leave us, and I would be like a grass when I was young. I would lose my mother's love and fall into darkness, with unimaginable consequences. Over the years, our family has been deeply grateful.

He said that when his mother died at the age of 76, she wanted to "repay the debt" and thank the medical staff of that year. They came to the hospital to repay this late "debt" and fulfill their wishes for the family. At the same time, they also want to find the medical staff of that year and say thank you to them in person.

As of yesterday, the First Hospital of Longyan City has found a head nurse Wu Shaohua who participated in the treatment and helped them with all his heart. After inquiry, she was later transferred to work in Zhangzhou, and the hospital contacted her family by phone. Recently, Mr. Lu will go to Zhangzhou to express his gratitude to her.

Response: "Heart" warms the hearts of doctors

After hearing the narration of the Lu brothers, the medical staff present were deeply moved. "Today, we are very moved that you are offering 100000 yuan for 'repayment'. Your idea is priceless and warms the hearts of doctors, but we cannot accept the 100000 yuan." Chen Kaihong, secretary of the Party Committee of Longyan First Hospital, said that as an ordinary working class, it is not easy. This heart is moving, and the hospital symbolically accepted 999.9 yuan, It means that the love between doctors and patients is long and lasting.

He said that rescuing the wounded and rescuing the dying and serving the patients wholeheartedly are the purposes that the hospital strictly abides by. With the patient as the center, for patients with financial difficulties, the hospital will not affect the treatment of patients because of the cost problem. The hospital will do its best to treat every patient.

Finally, the two sides agreed that the remaining 90000 yuan would be donated to charities to help medical students with family difficulties. This love affair spanning half a century will continue to warm people's hearts.
