The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 285

Zachary continued, "When my grandfather was 87 years old, he accidentally slipped on a stone while walking and ended up at the hospital. "The doctors recommended surgery to insert bone screws and suggested using titanium alloy or other materials for stabilization.

"My grandfather hardly ever spent money on medical care since it was all covered by government subsidies.

"We didn't think much of it at the time. But who knew that once he was on the operating table, he would never return? I nearly lost my mind.

"Later, I found out that after the age of 70, surgery is generally not recommended for elderly people. But they went through with it just to get the government subsidies. My grandfather passed away, so I ended up working as a guard here."

In the break room, the injured people had stopped complaining about their pain, and the room fell into a sudden silence.

Matthew had mixed feelings. He couldn't help but think that Zachary's grandfather had been unfortunate to encounter such a doctor.

At the same time, he sympathized with Zachary. He wouldn't have to work if his grandfather had lived a few more years and paid into his retirement plan until Zachary was 60 years old. Tears welled up in Zachary's eyes as his voice quivered with frustration. "I'm not upset just because I can't live a carefree life anymore. Being a guard isn't that tiring.

"But I don't understand. Why? Why is this happening? They're doctors... and yet, for money, they took my grandfather's life. Why? Why have doctors become executioners?"

His voice was rough and raspy, as if sandpaper had scraped his throat. It was filled with anguish and bitterness-a painful mix of accusation and anger, tinged with deep frustration.
