It's Not That I Can't Afford Top Doctors—ER Understands Ordinary People Better Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, a white-collar worker, is in despair when her mother suffers a sudden heart attack. She waits three days for a top doctor's appointment but fails, and her mother's condition worsens at dawn while she's raising surgery fees. She rushes her to the ER, seeing it as a "last resort for the poor"—until she meets Chen Mo, a newly trained ER doctor. No top title, but he spends two nights with her mother's medical records, cobbles together a plan with old equipment from a community hospital, and even buys expensive imported drugs with his own money. When her mother is out of danger, Lin Xiaoman looks at the bill (half the expected cost) and realizes: Top doctors are "icing on the cake," but ER is the "warmth that catches ordinary people when they fall." And in Chen Mo's pocket, there's an old photo—his late father, an ER doctor, who said on his deathbed: "Stay with those who can't wait for experts."
