not personal sin

This is the sin of the system, not the sin of the individual.

It's a good ending in the movie, but often you just don't want the pain to be too dark. The last heart is a miracle, in fact, everything in the movie is a miracle.
The hospital needs to be maintained, and it needs a "hard-faced" person to be the chief executive. The son's illness needs to be healed, regardless of the cost. After all, we are all ordinary people, that's all.

The harsh topic of doctor-patient relationship is estimated to continue for a long time in China. I once saw a saying: Those who think that doctors put their lives as their priority and put money first, why don't they think about it, when those doctors were studying, they were also ordinary middle school students, ordinary college students, and finally became ordinary doctors. If you can really ignore your life, how many people can afford it like a murderous madman? The doctor is just like you and me, just an ordinary person. The cold-blooded cruelty you can't do, he can't do either.

Recently, I was watching Dragon TV's "Emergency Room Story", and I couldn't help myself. This show should be broadcast on Dragon TV three or five times a day.
Patients suffering from illness and doctors who face countless pressures every day are not in their best condition. Smile, be patient, we say simple things casually, and we may not be able to do it ourselves in such a situation. I can only hope that there will be fewer misunderstandings, and fewer.

Somewhat off-topic. In this society, money is paramount in most cases, but people will always have a desperate situation. I hope that when there are people around me in a desperate situation, the society can have something other than money.

    The plot is very touching, if the ending is not so good, it would be better

    The words my father said before committing suicide brought tears to his eyes.

John Q quotes

  • Employee Manager: [in his office] Your policy has changed, Mr. Archibald.

    John Q. Archibald: [sitting in front of him] Changed to what?

    Employee Manager: Yeah, we recently switched carriers from a PPO to a HMO. It's a less expensive policy, but unfortunately, there are some restrictions.

    John Q. Archibald: What kind of restrictions?

    Employee Manager: Here's how it works: Non-management part-time employees, such as yourself, only qualify for second tier catastrophic coverage.

    John Q. Archibald: No, no. I'm not part-time. I'm full-time. It's just slow right now.

    Employee Manager: Sure, but your coverage is based on hours worked and like I said, you only qualify for second tier. And that has a maximum payout limit of $20,000.

    John Q. Archibald: [shocked] What? Wha- I-I mean-I mean, you guys have been taking money out of my paycheck every week. I've been paying into this policy for years.

    Employee Manager: Right. And that's why we're gonna cover you for the full twenty.

    John Q. Archibald: You can't be right. I mean, come on. Alright, let me get this straight: You're telling me that you have dropped me from full-time to part-time. You switched carriers. Now you're telling me I'm not fully covered? Even though I got a policy that says I am?

    Employee Manager: It doesn't seem right, does it?

    John Q. Archibald: No, it doesn't seem right. I mean, my son is sick. If I'm not covered, I've got a serious problem.

    Employee Manager: I understand that, uh, but there's nothing I can do. Look, you can file for an appeal.

    John Q. Archibald: Yeah?

    Employee Manager: [hands John an appeal application] Here you go. That takes about seven working days.

  • Rebecca Payne: [in her office] No, no, no. This is an appeal. An appeal is for an already existing claim. What you needed to file was a grievance. You filed the wrong paperwork.

    John Q. Archibald: [sitting in front of her] Wait a minute...

    Rebecca Payne: You're gonna have to resubmit. It could take up to 30 days.

    John Q. Archibald: [turns frustrated] Look, I don't have 30 days.

    Rebecca Payne: I know you don't.

    John Q. Archibald: And quite frankly, I'm getting sick of the runaround. Now what I need is my son's name...

    Rebecca Payne: Mr. Archibald, your account is in access of $30,000. The hospital has been over backwards to help you out.

    John Q. Archibald: Is that right?

    Rebecca Payne: Yes! It is right. But there's a limit to our generosity. Once and for all, your insurance does not cover this.
