"It's no use, I asked a nurse, and she told me to go through the emergency department."
My cousin, who is at least a deputy level cadre in the county and works in the health system, found his status useless once he arrived in the provincial city. It almost brought no convenience and was no different from ordinary people.
"Ah Can, you're a doctor at this hospital. Do you have a way to help my dad skip the queue? The nurses and doctors from the county People's Hospital haven't left. They are worried about any accidents happening to my dad since he hasn't been admitted yet, so they don't dare to leave."
My cousin asked in a lowered voice.
The county People's Hospital not only dispatched a special ambulance but also sent a doctor and nurse along to ensure my uncle's safety.
Usually, for such long-distance transfers, the hospital's own ambulance wouldn't be dispatched.
The family would have to spend a lot of money renting an outside ambulance.
