Orthopedics.
In the corridor.
"Can we think of another way?" Zhan Guiping asked the doctor.
Zhan Guiping's wife said anxiously. "Save my daughter! Save her! "
Zhan Rourou, who was in the wheelchair, cried softly. "Dad, Mom, I know I will never be able to stand up again. Sob … Don't worry about me. Let's … let's go home."
Zhan Guiping shouted angrily. "What are you saying? I promise you! I will treat your legs! "
Zhan Rourou's wife burst into tears. "Doctor, my daughter is only 23 years old. Please think of a way to treat her!"
The doctor sighed and held a few X-rays in his hands. "It's not that we don't want to treat your daughter, but we can't do anything. This is not only the patient's legs. It's also the lumbar vertebrae." He pointed at the scan. "Look here, the nerves and bones are damaged. The bones are fine, but the nerves are damaged, and it's in this position. The possibility of recovery through surgery is almost zero. Moreover, if he was sent to us immediately, the surgery might be … But now that the patient has been operated on in a local hospital, and it's been delayed for nearly two months, this …" The doctor shook his head slightly. "You'd better be mentally prepared."
Zhan Rourou's face turned pale, and her lips were trembling.
Zhan Rourou's wife cried. "This is the best hospital in Beijing, and there must be a way. Just do another surgery for Rourou. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, it will be fine!"
The doctor said. "Why don't you all go to Beijing Third Hospital and ask?"
Beijing Third Hospital is the most famous Orthopedics hospital in Beijing.
Zhan Guiping said. "We had been there yesterday! They also said … "
The doctor said. "We also cannot do this surgery, especially for this position. The patient's legs should still be in pain, right? But if we do the surgery now, the patient might not even feel her legs in the future. That will be … "
Zhan Rourou was crying.
Zhan Guiping wiped her daughter's tears. "Rourou, there must be hope. Stop crying. Your mother and I will help you stand up even if we have to go bankrupt!"
Dong Xuebing walked over. "Zhan Rourou."
Zhan Rourou looked at him with reddened eyes. "Chief Dong?"
Dong Xuebing squatted down in front of her. "I heard what you said earlier. It's all my fault. I should not have asked your Second Hospital to evacuate the patients during the earthquake, and I should not have left you all behind. If not, you will not be hit by a rock. I'm sorry."
"You are Dong Xuebing?" Madam Zhan stared at him coldly.
Dong Xuebing quickly extends his hand for a handshake. "Secretary Zhan, Madam, nice to meet you."
Zhan Guiping is not in the mood, but she still shook hands with Dong Xuebing. Mrs. Zhan did not even move her arm and ignored Dong Xuebing.
"What are you doing here?" Madam Zhan said coldly.
Dong Xuebing replied awkwardly and doesn't know how to respond. "My wife is pregnant, and I brought her here for a check-up. I saw you all earlier …"
Zhan Rourou sobbed, "Mom, don't be like this!"
Zhan Guiping shouted at her husband. "Enough! Why are you angry at Xiao Dong? If it wasn't for Xiao Dong, we wouldn't be here to treat Rourou! "
Madam Zhan kept quiet, but she still gave Dong Xuebing an angry look.
Zhan Guiping patted Dong Xuebing's shoulder. "She is not in a good mood. Don't mind her."
Zhan Rourou sniffled and said. "My mother is worried about me."
Dong Xuebing knew what Zhan Rourou meant. He also understood. Although he had risked his life to save Zhan Rourou, if he had not asked the hospital staff to evacuate the patients, and if he had realized Zhan Rourou was lagging behind, this tragedy would not have happened. Dong Xuebing was not angry with Zhan Rourou's attitude towards him. It was human nature.
Dong Xuebing immediately said. "What can I do for you? Just let me know."
Zhan Guiping shook her head. "I appreciate your concern, but you cannot help me with this."
The doctor returned the X-rays and test results to them. "You all better go back. I still have consultations. Let the patient rest."
"Wait!" Zhan Guiping stopped him.
"Is there anything else?" The doctor was getting impatient.
Zhan Guiping did not give up at all and said, "We went to the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University to see a doctor yesterday. A doctor there told me that there is a professor surnamed Ci in the People's Liberation Army General Hospital. He is the best in this field in the country and has cured more than ten patients with lower body paralysis. He said that if Professor Ci personally performed the surgery on Rourou, the probability of recovery will be very high, even more than 60%."
Madam Zhan was overjoyed. "Really?"
Zhan Guiping nodded. "That's what he told me. I asked around, and there is a Professor Ci in 301 Hospital. He can surely save Rourou!"
All of them looked at the doctor.
The doctor smiled. "Professor Ci does not work in the outpatient department."
Madam Zhan said anxiously. "Then can we let Professor Ci operate on my daughter if we are hospitalized?"
The doctor shook his head. "Professor Ci is not in charge of the outpatient and inpatient departments. You all better go back."
Zhan Guiping said. "We can't even make appointments? Even if we can't do it today, we can still wait!
The doctor sighed. "Let me tell you all the truth. Professor Ci is in the West Wing, and he is not in the same system as us. He also does not accept appointments."
West Wing?
Zhan Guiping and Madam Zhan immediately understood.
They had seen the building when they came over. It does not seem to be a ward for senior officials. It is a place for leaders and officials above the ministerial level to receive treatment. As a military hospital, there must be such a special area. Most people cannot go there for treatment. Even if Zhan Guiping is a department head, she is not qualified to go there, let alone Zhan Guiping who is just a department head.
Madam Zhan felt like she was grasping at straws. "Just let us see Professor Ci! I'm begging you! Money is not a problem! Please save my daughter! "
The doctor said. "I really can't do anything."
Zhan Guiping also had no other choice. She suddenly took out her work pass and showed him. "Comrade, please help me."
The doctor looked at the Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and was slightly stunned. But he still shook his head helplessly. "That side is not a ward for senior officials. You all better go back." Actually, there was something the doctor did not say. Even if it is a ward for senior officials, a department head from another province will have to make an appointment in advance in the top hospitals in Beijing. Not to mention a place like the West Wing. He is definitely not qualified.
Zhan Guiping pleaded. "Comrade!"
Madam Zhan cried. "Doctor, can I kneel down for you? Please save my daughter! She is only in her twenties! Let us see Professor Ci! "
Zhan Rourou pulled her mother back. "Mum, sob … let's go!"
Madam Zhan wiped her tears. "If I can't treat you! I will die here! I will not go anywhere! "
Zhan Rourou hugged her mother in pain. Zhan Guiping also hugged her mother and mother. "There will be a way. There will be a way!"
Dong Xuebing suddenly asked. "Can Professor Ci really treat this kind of injury?"
The doctor did not reply. "I am not sure."
But the more he said, the more Dong Xuebing, Zhan Guiping, and the rest felt that Professor Ci would be able to treat him. The doctor from the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University was not lying. From the doctor's expression, Professor Ci should be the most authoritative expert in treating this kind of injury.
Dong Xuebing could not bear to see Zhan Rourou and Madam Zhan crying. He immediately stopped the doctor who was about to leave. "Where is Professor Ci at the West Wing?"
The doctor waved his hand and left without saying a word.
Heh! You still want to ignore me? Dong Xuebing was furious. "Is your Deputy Director Liu around?"
The doctor was stunned. "Which Deputy Director Liu?"
Dong Xuebing asked. "How many female generals are there in China?"
The doctor looked at Dong Xuebing and did not say a word. But he did not leave.
Dong Xuebing does not have the time to argue with him. He took out his phone and flipped through his contacts. But he remembered he does not have Deputy Director Liu's number. So, he took out Xie Huilan's handbag and took out her phone. A name card with the name "Aunt Liu" appeared in front of him. Dong Xuebing calmed down and said to Zhan Rourou and the rest. "Secretary Zhan, Madam, Rourou, leave this to me. I will help you contact them."
Madam Zhan ignored him and was still hugging her daughter.
The doctor looked at Dong Xuebing suspiciously.
Dong Xuebing did not say anything and dialed Xie Huilan's number. Ring … ring … ring … the call got through.
"Hello, Huilan?" A woman's voice came from the phone. "Are the results out? How are you feeling? "
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "Aunt Liu, I'm Dong Xuebing."
"Huh?" Aunt Liu laughed. "Are you Xuebing?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Huilan had gone for the tests, and I used her phone to call you."
"What's wrong? Are you worried about your wife? I had contacted the doctors there, and they are all good doctors. "
"It's not about this." Dong Xuebing smiled wryly. "I need your help. One of my friends had broken his lumbar spine and leg during the earthquake. Now, his lower body is paralyzed. He is being treated at 301 Hospital. I heard that only Doctor Ci can perform this surgery. But I heard that Doctor Ci is only in charge of the west wing. So … … can you help me contact him?"
"What is his condition? Tell me about it."
"Huh? I am not sure as I don't know much about this."
"Ok. I am reaching the hospital soon. I will go over in a few minutes. Where are you all going now?"
"He is in the Orthopedics Department. Upstairs."
"Ok. Got it."
"Thank you so much."
"Don't mention it. It's just a small matter. I will go over to check on the patient first."
Actually, Dong Xuebing is the Xie Family's eldest son-in-law now, and he does not need to be so courteous. Aunt Liu is not an outsider, and Xie Huilan had told her.
