As one of the world's top neurosurgeons, Dr. Steve Strange had always been very busy.
All kinds of scheduled surgeries were scheduled. Many people traveled tens of thousands of kilometers from the other side of the world to find him, hoping that he could become their chief surgeon.
Because he had completed surgeries that other doctors thought were impossible time and time again.
Time and time again, he had pulled all kinds of patients back from the edge of the cliff of life.
This had won him great honor. And money. And of course, there was the worship of those patients.
"Don't worry, Sir Barlow. I've read your case. It's not as serious as your attending doctor in England said. "In Strange's spacious and bright office.
He was receiving a patient from England. An old European noble, Barlow, who had the title of Knight.
In England, Barlow had been determined by his attending doctor to be incurable. Because the nerves in his brain were pressed by a blood clot.
And the lump could burst at any time. Once it burst, it would be a dead end. Surgery was also extremely risky, and the success rate was less than 20%.
Doctors in England did not dare to operate. So Sir Barlow came to America under the introduction of a friend, taking the risk that the lump might burst on the way.
But it seemed that this time, Sir Barlow's risk was successful. The elegant Strange was very good at getting people's favor.
Especially when he was very confident, it made people feel that he was full of confidence. Of course, his success rate of never failing was also his source of confidence.
Sir Barlow said with great relief, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Strange. About my surgery … "
Before Sir Barlow could finish speaking, the door of Strange's office was violently pushed open.
A tall and strong man, although fat, looked very sharp and aggressive, strode in.
"Strange! I want to talk to you! "The person who came was Thor.
Thor. Strange naturally knew him. Because of Christian. Strange had even used his power in the hospital to directly transfer Thor to work in the Southern Cross Welfare Home.
Strange thought that Thor had come to him for this.
Strange smiled apologetically at Balor. "I'm sorry, sir."
At this time, Strange's assistant also came in from outside the door. He said to Strange in fear, "Doctor, I wanted to stop him. But I can't stop him. He's too strong. "
The assistant looked at Thor fearfully. After all, a height of 1.95 meters and a weight of 130 kilograms was too oppressive.
Facing this kind of person in real life was like seeing a mountain. Strange's assistant was just an ordinary person who was 1.77 meters tall and weighed 75 kilograms.
He did not have the courage to stop the advance of a mountain. Especially when the mountain looked like an active volcano.
Strange frowned and frowned at Thor. At the same time, he waved his hand at his assistant, gesturing for him to leave.
Strange walked quickly to Thor and said in a low voice, "No matter what you want to talk to me about, I have a patient here! If you don't get out, I'll call the security guards to kick you out! "
Strange thought that Thor would argue with him in a rage, and then he would call the security guards to come in and kick him out. After that, he could fire him directly.
But unexpectedly, Thor nodded apologetically when he saw Baron Barlow who came to see him. Then he turned to Strange and said, "I'm sorry, Doctor. It's just that I have something urgent. I hope you can take a look at this case. I can talk to you after you're done with this patient. "
As he spoke, Thor handed Penny's case to Strange. Then, he left just like that.
This was far beyond Strange's expectations. If it was before, Thor would definitely quarrel with him as Strange had expected.
But now, Thor's growth was beyond everyone's expectations. Because his work in the hospital and the orphanage made him understand that fists could not solve all problems.
This was something that Thor had never understood. Thor had never understood. Thor had always used axes and warhammers to solve all problems.
But during the days when he lost his divine power, Thor began to try to solve problems in a mortal way and began to think with a mortal's mind.
When Thor strode into Strange's company, Li Jie did not stop him. Because he wanted to see how Thor would deal with this kind of thing.
At the same time, he stopped Christine.
"Shouldn't we stop him? He doesn't look good. If a conflict breaks out with Strange, it will be troublesome. "Christine did not understand why Li Jie stopped her.
"Thor is different now. Don't worry about him." As Li Jie said this, he saw Thor leave Strange's office and sit on the bench next to the corridor.
Waiting for Strange to finish seeing patients for the day was a torturous thing. Because Doctor Strange's appointments were full every day.
As soon as Sir Barlow came out, the next patient would immediately go in. But Thor had been waiting outside the door and did not leave.
Christine also stayed by Thor's side. Because the waiting time was too long, Li Jie went to the hospital's convenience store to buy a drink and bread to make do with a meal.
The three of them waited outside for a full four hours. When the last patient left, Thor opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Thor come in, Strange rubbed his eyes. He thought he had managed to keep the big fool away.
After Thor came in, he went straight to the point and said, "Doctor Strange, do you have time to talk now? Have you read the case I gave you? What do you think? "
This big fool was really a bit difficult to deal with. Strange felt helpless.
At first, he thought that Thor was looking for trouble because he was transferred to a nurse. He did not expect that Thor would actually hand him a case.
Out of the most basic professional ethics of a doctor, Strange read the case carefully.
Although Strange was good at choosing patients, he would never be perfunctory about the case. Whether or not a patient could be treated was one thing, and whether or not a doctor could read the case seriously was another.
He had read Penny's case, including various CT scans. Based on his personal medical level, this was a very complicated and tricky patient.
"Thor, who is this girl named Penny?" Strange asked, pointing to the case on the table.
"I'm taking care of a child in the orphanage," Thor answered truthfully.
"A child in the orphanage? That means she has no parents, and no one will pay for her medical expenses. Do you know what kind of illness this child has? How much does it cost? "Strange looked at Thor with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I don't think the orphanage will pay for the operation for an orphan."
"I'll pay for it," Thor said resolutely.
Strange was amused by Thor's words. He looked at Thor up and down. Thor, who was wearing a blue nurse uniform, did not look like someone who could come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Do you know how much it costs? More than half a million! What are you going to pay with? "Strange said in a calm, declarative tone.
He was just stating an objective fact. It was a lot of money. He did not think that Thor, who was a nurse, could afford it.
"Don't worry about the money, Doctor Strange." It was Li Jie who pushed the door open and walked in.
He walked in step by step, his feet making a clicking sound on the floor. The sound of his footsteps only stopped when he reached the high-end carpet in the center of the office.
"I can still afford half a million or a million dollars. Thor wants to save that girl. Money is not a problem. I can afford it, or even a little more. "
Strange also knew Li Jie, a senior consultant of the Osborne Group. He never appeared at the front desk, but from the rumors in the Osborne Group, he knew that this young man promoted a lot of things.
Strange believed him when he said that he could afford it.
Seeing that Strange did not speak, Li Jie continued, "I just want to know, if I can afford it, Doctor Strange, can you help? Standing in front of the operating table as the chief surgeon? "
At this time, Christine also walked in. Everyone in the room focused their eyes on Strange. This made him feel very uncomfortable.
He chose to turn his back and said in a calm voice, "I refuse."
