Dong Yiqing once went to the Laiwu Central Hospital of Xinfen Mining Group for negotiation. However, he told the reporter, "On September 21st, I went to the office of the hospital director, but the director was not there. The head of the medical department and several security guards asked me to leave. I didn't leave, then four of them grabbed my arms and legs and forcibly dragged me out of the director's office."

"Who can let my only son rest in peace as soon as possible?" Recently, Dong Hailong, a vocational school student from Dongping, died during an internship at a hospital in Laiwu due to an epileptic seizure. Because his family could not afford the thousands of yuan required for emergency treatment and body storage fees, and the hospital did not heed the family's request to waive these costs, Dong Hailong's body has remained in the hospital morgue for over two months. His nearly seventy-year-old father helplessly sought assistance from our newspaper.
On November 23rd, Dong Yiqing's relatives told the reporter that as the body storage fee increased day by day, the initial thousands of yuan for emergency treatment and body storage fees had now reached around ten thousand yuan.
"My son was only 22 years old, we were all looking forward to him graduating and becoming a doctor, but suddenly this happened, my wife and I are heartbroken," said Dong Yiqing. After losing his only son, he even thought about dying, but his wife became bedridden due to excessive grief, so he had to handle his son's posthumous affairs with his weakened body.
Regarding the previous "forced ejection" incident, Director Zhou of the hospital and the involved head of the medical department stated that there were reasons behind this matter and explained to the reporter: "At that time, the office had just been renovated, and there was formaldehyde inside. The family refused to leave the office, so we had no choice but to forcibly remove him."
After being turned away from the hospital, Dong Yiqing failed to fulfill his wish of bringing his son "home" before the Mid-Autumn Festival. "This is like cutting my heart with a knife," watching his son lie coldly in the hospital morgue day by day, Dong Yiqing felt extremely heartbroken. "I originally planned to beg on the street with my wife to save money, but she fell ill again..."
On September 26th, in order to bury his son before the Mid-Autumn Festival, under the accompaniment of reporters and teachers from Dong Hailong's school, Dong Yiqing once again came to the Laiwu Central Hospital of Xinfen Mining Group.
Currently, all parties are still coordinating this matter, hoping that the deceased can be buried as soon as possible.
The impoverished family cannot afford the body storage fees and hopes the hospital will waive them.
Director Zhou believed that the hospital did its best in rescuing Dong Hailong and bore no responsibility. "Can the hospital, out of humanitarian spirit, waive the thousands of yuan in fees for this poor family?" When the family made this request, Director Zhou replied: "To take the body out of the morgue, the fees must be settled. The hospital is not a charity organization, not a single cent can be waived, otherwise it would not comply with regulations."
However, due to financial difficulties, Dong Yiqing's family could not even afford the thousands of yuan in emergency treatment and body storage fees. Dong Yiqing's home village committee secretary from Xiyang Village, Jieshan Township, Dongping County introduced that apart from the elderly couple, there was also a 92-year-old grandfather living in their mud house, and the whole family relied on a few acres of land to survive. "My son died while interning at the hospital. The child is dead, but his body cannot stay in the morgue forever. Can the hospital waive the emergency treatment and body storage fees so that the child can be laid to rest?"
Dong Hailong's father, 65-year-old Dong Yiqing from Dongping, told the reporter that the 22-year-old Dong Hailong was originally a medical student at a vocational school in Jinan. This summer vacation, he was introduced to intern at the Laiwu Central Hospital of Xinfen Mining Group. However, on the morning of September 15th, his son suddenly had an epileptic seizure in the dormitory and died after ineffective hospital rescue.
