Chapter 608: Meeting When We Were Young. The time for seeing a doctor flew by quickly, and soon it was the early spring of 2008.
The whole country is celebrating the Olympic Games, but Wang Haochuan's aunt and family are not in the mood. Wang Haochuan's aunt worked too hard in his early years and did not take care of his body, which led to lumbar disc herniation. Gradually, he could not even straighten his waist.
He is not yet sixty years old, but in less than a year, his waist has become more bent than that of a man in his eighties or nineties.
The son has not yet started a family and started a business, so he cannot afford to collapse. However, after visiting hospitals across the province, no doctor dared to operate on him. Because his condition is very complicated, and if he is not careful, he will be paralyzed.
Therefore, the doctor did not dare to take such a big risk and suggested that he go to a larger hospital for treatment.
But where to go? Even the best hospitals in the province dare not operate, so where else dares to accept him?
The doctor recommended him to go to a hospital in Guangzhou, where the orthopedic surgeons were very famous, the instruments were very advanced, the doctors were highly skilled, and they had cured many difficult and complicated diseases.
Guangzhou?
That place is too far from home, and it costs a lot of money.
The aunt thought of Xie Hongxuan. He was the leading orthopedic expert in the city. Many people in the village with waist and leg pain were cured by him. Wanting to give it a try, the aunt brought her husband to Xie Hongxuan's clinic.
The uncle grimaced in pain, but his request was for conservative treatment. He said that several people in his village had back problems, and they cured them through traction.
After some consultation, Xie Hongxuan shook his head: "You have delayed it for too long. Don't place your hope on conservative treatment. If you delay it any longer, you may be paralyzed and unable to even take care of yourself. There is still a cure now.
Hopefully, you must have surgery immediately."
The aunt wiped away tears on the spot.
Xie Hongxuan wrote down how to seek medical treatment on a piece of paper. As expected, he also wrote about the hospital in Guangzhou.
It seems that it is indeed the most authoritative hospital for orthopedic treatment.
Xie Hongxuan gave them a detailed introduction, saying that many hospitals went to them to get advice.
"Of course, there must be very high-level doctors in Beijing and Shanghai, but I don't know them and can't recommend them to you. If you need them, I can help you find out." Xie Hongxuan said sincerely: "However, I advise you to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
You must not delay your illness any longer."
The aunt asked cautiously: "Doctor Xie, then... do you know how much the operation will cost?"
"The specific surgery needs to be diagnosed by a doctor. If you only do a minimally invasive surgery, the price should not exceed 20,000; however, if you need a bone grafting and fusion surgery, the price will be endless. So, take advantage of more information
Before it becomes serious, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the more money you will spend."
The aunt calculated it and found that the total savings of the family amounted to about 50,000 yuan. If she borrowed some from the neighbors, she could make up 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. They only operated there and went home to recuperate after the operation.
It shouldn't cost that much.
The aunt told her husband her plan, but the husband just smoked and said: "Binbin hasn't even gotten married yet, and we've spent all the money? I'm getting older, and half of my body has been buried, so I just make do with it."
Bar."
"Don't say such things! You are less than sixty and have no other physical problems, so you don't want to live a good life? Didn't you listen to Dr. Xie? If you don't take good treatment, you will be paralyzed! Even if I am willing
How many years can I serve you? Can you expect Binbin to serve you? Humph! Wake up! Your son is not a filial child."
That's true.
When her aunt and uncle discussed going to Guangzhou for medical treatment with their son, Binbin's first reaction was: "What about the money our family left for me to get married?"
The couple suddenly felt cold.
Binbin also felt that his attitude was a bit too much, so he hurriedly made amends for himself: "I mean, does our family have enough money? Didn't you say that the money at home is reserved for me to marry a wife? We don't have one hundred thousand right now.
How can we get married with only 1 yuan? Mom and Dad, I’m not in a hurry to get married, I just have a girl I like... If I don’t seize the opportunity this time, I’m afraid she won’t be with me... Well, you’d better treat her illness
It’s important, it’s okay, it’s important that you treat the disease.”
The aunt and his wife understood that this boy had some conscience, but not much. It was also possible that he was retreating in order to advance, trying to use his sensibleness to force his parents to give up the idea of going out for medical treatment.
The aunt didn’t know what she had done wrong, raising her child in such a cold-blooded way. Her heart ached as she said, “We have already bought you a house in the city. We don’t have much ability to do this.”
It’s not easy anymore. As for starting a family and starting a business, you can take care of it yourself! Your dad and I have worked hard for half our lives and left a lot of root causes. It’s time for us to think about ourselves."
Binbin said no more.
However, before his parents set off, he gave them two thousand yuan, saying that he earned it from part-time work, and asked them to eat something good on the way so as not to wrong himself.
As soon as the son showed his kindness, the parents relented. The uncle said nothing, but his heart was full of guilt. If he had not gotten sick, the burden on the family would not have been so heavy.
When they arrived in the big city, the two country people couldn't understand the road, and the uncle's waist hurt badly, so he was inevitably a little irritable.
The aunt asked for directions, but people couldn't understand her accent. She showed the note written by Xie Hongxuan to a passerby, and the passerby opened his mouth and spoke Cantonese, which made the aunt look confused.
The two were so trapped that they had no choice but to find an hourly room near the train station to rest temporarily.
The aunt gnawed on the bread and discussed with her husband: "How about we call Jingyi!"
"can not fight!"
"We came to Guangzhou as soon as we got excited, but we couldn't even explain what we were talking about. My niece is here. I want her to do a favor and I don't let her spend money. Why can't I do it?"
The eldest uncle said: "Have you forgotten what happened last year? Haochuan came to our house to borrow money, but I didn't lend him the money and said nasty things. Wang Haochuan said he didn't mind, but did you take it seriously? Let's offend them.
La! Also, I didn’t give them a good look when they came to my house to borrow money when they were children. Now I expect them to be kind enough to save me? We have self-knowledge and the backbone to not touch the cold nails.”
The aunt looked at her husband with a look of resentment on her face. Her husband had a bad temper and was stubborn. If she went out with him, he would be angry to death.
My aunt didn't get enough rest on the way and fell asleep due to the pain. Seeing this, my aunt sneaked out of the room and called Wang Jingyi.
Wang Jingyi was very surprised: "Auntie, why didn't you contact me in advance? I'm on a business trip today."
"Oh, that's it." The aunt said humbly: "I didn't want to cause trouble to you, but your uncle and I have never been out. It's not easy to go out... Just forget it if you are busy.
, don’t worry about us, we will take care of it ourselves. Jingyi, don’t worry about us, work is important.”
"Auntie, tell me where you are and I will find a way to ask my colleagues to help you."
"We are in the hotel at the train station. It seems to be called...far away home?"
The uncle suddenly opened the door, and the aunt was startled and hung up the phone in a hurry.
The uncle said angrily: "You still called Jingyi?"
"Oh... don't worry, she can't come, she's on a business trip."
"Hmph! Even if she's not on a business trip, she can still pretend to be on a business trip. I've told you not to look for her, but you just don't listen! Don't you understand what she's saying? She just doesn't want to come! You, you, you
, spineless, and asking for trouble!"
The aunt was already upset, and after being scolded by her husband for a while, she couldn't help it anymore and started crying.
"Cry, cry, cry, we have to cry a hundred and eighty times a day. If we cry again, we will go home!"
The aunt is full of grievances, but she has come here, how can she go back so easily?
The aunt held her breath and packed her things angrily. She thought to herself that they country people should not come to the big city. They would just run into walls everywhere like headless flies.
Finally, the aunt took heart and called a taxi. Watching the numbers on the meter keep jumping, the aunt was so distressed that she could not speak.
When I arrived at the hospital, I went to two floors and still didn't get in. I summoned up the courage to ask the nurse. This time she understood what the nurse said, but the result was even worse.
The nurse said that today's numbers have been issued and the doctor cannot add any more numbers.
Do we still need to stay outside in a hotel for one night?
The aunt has saved her whole life. This trip, even before she was diagnosed with illness, cost her two or three months of expenses. How could she not feel distressed?
She sat on the ground, feeling aggrieved: "We traveled two days to get here, who knew we couldn't even get sick..."
The uncle pulled her and said impatiently: "Stop crying! How many times have you cried in a day? Just go home if you don't like it! Don't cry outside, it will be embarrassing."
At this moment, a young doctor came over.
"Excuse me, do you know Wang Jingyi?"
The eldest uncle said suspiciously: "How do you know Jingyi?"
"Oh, Jingyi just called me and said that her aunt and uncle came to our hospital for treatment. She gave me her aunt's mobile phone number. I called for a long time, but no one answered. I heard your accent.
He looks very similar to Jingyi, so come and ask." The young doctor said enthusiastically: "I am Jingyi's good friend, you can just call me Xiaohe, and you can follow me!"
Xiao He took them upstairs and said coquettishly: "Jingyi found a car to pick you up at the train station, but you were not there. Jingyi thought, you probably came to the hospital, so she called me. She
He said that your local accent was too strong, so I might not be able to find the way, so he asked me to wait in the outpatient hall, and sure enough, I was waiting for you."
The aunt said gratefully: "Having an acquaintance here makes us feel more at ease."
"Jing Yi is very busy. She may have to take a temporary job in a county. I have rarely seen her in the past six months." Xiao He said, "However, she has made arrangements, so you can live here peacefully!
"
The aunt glared at the uncle, and then said to Xiao He: "Doctor He, can you register today? The nurse just said that all the registrations have been completed."
"You guys come with me first. When the director finishes reading today's patient numbers, I'll beg him to add another number. I've already told him."
"That's good, that's good."
The aunt and uncle couldn't help but hold hands, and they felt confident.
I really did see a doctor that day, but many examinations had not been completed. The doctor issued a hospitalization order, and my aunt and uncle breathed a sigh of relief.
I heard that beds were in short supply and many people had to queue up to be admitted to the hospital. It seemed that Jingyi had some dignity, so the doctor directly arranged beds for her.
But they didn't expect that the uncle's bed was in a single room that looked very expensive.
No wonder many wards on this floor are empty.
The uncle turned around and left: "No, no, I can't live in such an expensive room."
"This is specially arranged by Jingyi." Xiao He said, "Jingyi has paid all the money, and you can live in peace."
