Doctor paid for patient's surgery out of his own pocket (3 photos)

When a worker named Zhang felt a sharp pain in his chest and was taken to a hospital in Guangdong, China, the diagnosis was not encouraging.





The man was diagnosed with a serious cardiovascular disease and needed urgent surgery. But here's the problem: the worker was from another province, and only there did he have health insurance. That means in Guangdong, the necessary surgery was both paid and expensive. The patient surprised the doctors with his resignation to fate. He said that he wanted to go home and undergo surgery there, and if he suddenly didn’t make it and died on the way (which was very likely), then there was nothing he could do – fate.



The strange situation was reported to Guo Suxiu, the director of the cardiovascular department at the hospital. And this kind man made an unexpected decision – he spent 4,200 dollars and paid for Zhang’s surgery out of his own pocket. After that, Zhang agreed to the surgery, which ended successfully. A few days later, the patient’s family members came to the hospital to personally thank the doctors and especially the director of the department.
