Chapter 1407 - 560: Brother-Supporting Addict? Winning Hearts
The style of a hospital, especially the work attitude of its medical staff, can largely reflect the hospital’s medical standards and quality.
Those doctors and nurses who are a bit knowledgeable, a bit competent, look down on others, are arrogant and indifferent, and treat patients and their families as less than people, no matter how high their professional level, it won’t be very high.
This has nothing to do with education.
As a doctor, if there isn’t even the spirit of sincerely serving patients, and all they think about day and night is flaunting their superior status, can their professional level improve?
After mixing for a few years, their clinical practice level still stinks like a pile of shit.
Such doctors who merely muddle through life have nearly no space to survive in a large institution like Tu Ya. They will soon be eliminated by various assessment mechanisms.
For example, that Dr. Lu whom Zhou Can dealt with was a typical case of this.
Dr. Lu at least had some talent and had tried to improve his professional level. There are those who are even more useless, just showy pillow covers, who haven’t earnestly practiced seriously since they joined the hospital.
The expatriate PhD Du Leng was basically this type of person.
Even though he had the aura of an expatriate PhD, he was still marginalized due to aiming high but achieving low. Even someone like him with such an education can be mercilessly marginalized by Tu Ya. With an ordinary education, there’s no need to even mention it.
After handling the wound at the hospital, Jiang Wei insisted on driving Zhou Can back.
It was evident that after this unexpected incident, her attitude towards Zhou Can had changed somewhat.
"Why did those people want to grab you?"
Zhou Can had been avoiding this sensitive topic, but now she was driving, and Zhou Can was sitting in the passenger seat, so they had the opportunity to talk further.
"I borrowed from high-interest loans, and couldn’t repay them. After threatening me a few times, I didn’t expect them to directly wait at my doorstep tonight."
She hesitated for a bit but ultimately spoke the truth.
"How much did you totally owe?"
"I borrowed a total of seven hundred thousand in high-interest loans. Now with interest compounding, it has ballooned to over a million."
Online loans and high-interest loans are like dens of devils.
Once you borrow, even if you don’t die, you’re bound to lose a layer of skin.
Many people, out of ignorance or for various reasons, borrow online loans, which start from a few thousand or tens of thousands and immediately roll over to more than a million. All sorts of dark practices inside are truly the kind that eats you but doesn’t spit out the bones.
Borrow one thousand, getting five hundred in hand is already considered benevolent.
Some online loan companies force borrowers to write IOUs for fifty thousand when borrowing ten thousand.
Then when borrowers repay, they directly ask for fifty thousand. There are even more shameless ones who play all sorts of disappearing acts when borrowers barely gather enough money to pay back before the repayment date.
The next day, they claim the debtor has violated the contract, failed to repay on time, and demand expensive late fees.
At this point, they will force the debtor to borrow from other online loan companies.
Such a vicious cycle can increase the debtor’s debt to over a million in a very short time. Eventually, the debtor is forced to sell their house, sleep with them, turn to prostitution, or jump off a building.
Therefore, no matter how difficult things get, never touch online loans and high-interest loans.
Online loans calculate daily interest, which sounds low, but an annual interest rate of over twenty percent is very normal.
"Why did you borrow so much in high-interest loans? Buying an apartment in full, even a small three-bedroom, is just a little over a million!"
Zhou Can didn’t understand why she borrowed so much money.
Her previous explanation was that the apartment she bought was not only small in area but also bought on loan. She didn’t buy a car either.
Seven hundred thousand is not a small amount.
There should be a place to spend this much money, right?
Moreover, her current income isn’t low, at least pre-tax it’s over two hundred fifty thousand.
After a long silence of over twenty seconds, she finally spoke slowly.
"I borrowed high-interest loans to help my brother get married and buy a house."
Just a few words, yet heavy as a ton when she said them.
What popped into Zhou Can’s mind was not sibling affection but the term "supporting demon brother."
Some elder sisters or younger sisters, due to receiving family education with patriarchal ideas since childhood, are still persistently oppressed and exploited. Their hard-earned money is taken by parents to be used by the brother.
Such families not only exist but are not few in number.
Parents believe that girls will get married sooner or later, so it’s better to keep them at home for a bit longer before they do.
"Your brother getting married and buying a house, shouldn’t he be working hard for it himself? Even if you as an elder sister sponsor a bit, it should be within your means. You borrowed so much, and it’s under high-interest loans..."
As he spoke, the vehicle suddenly skidded and stopped abruptly.
It was because Zhou Can’s words pierced her heart, causing her to lose focus severely, running a red light while crossing the street. Nearly colliding with the side of an oncoming car.
Fortunately, the car was good, with automatic braking and anti-lock features, preventing a roll-over or similar.
Zhou Can was greatly shocked.
Female drivers can be extremely dangerous. This has nothing to do with education.
Even PhD students can’t escape the title of road killer.
"Stop by the roadside ahead, I’ll drive instead!"
Zhou Can didn’t dare entrust his life to her hands anymore.
She was also quite scared, her hands slightly trembling, her face pale.
"I’m sorry, I was distracted earlier. Your hand is injured, you really can’t drive, so I should continue."
"Pull over, I can engage the autopilot assistance."
Zhou Can suggested again.
Absolutely couldn’t transfer the steering wheel to her hands again.
"Alright then!"
Acknowledging her mistake, she slowly pulled over and stopped the car, then exited to let Zhou Can take over the driver’s seat.
