Chapter 295: Admission (1/2)
Dimond was in a wheelchair, with the help of a flight attendant, boarded the plane and turned all the way from Johannesburg Airport in South Africa to Shanghai, China.
When the familiar doctor, Morris, was seen at the airport, Diamond's tears were shed.
”I think my feet are going to be broken, and my swollen is worse.” Diamond was in a wheelchair, scared to death.
”I'll take a look.” Dr. Morris squatted down to examine it, and smiled again. ”It's okay, it's just a normal swelling, and it will soon subside.”
Diamond said worriedly: ”My feet have been swollen badly these days, and they were swollen before getting on the plane.”
”It doesn't matter, it will be fine after the operation.” Dr. Morris counseled Diamond. As a physician specializing in sports medicine at a private hospital, Morris is good at comforting adolescent patients.
Compared with adults, adolescent patients have much lower tolerance and endurance for the same injuries. For athletes and prospective athletes with poor family conditions, injuries not only bring physical pain, but also mental stress.
At the age of 19, Diamond is a poor white South African athlete with very poor family conditions.
He has been playing rugby at various levels since high school, and he has won a college scholarship. If all goes well, Diamond is expected to join the professional team in the last two years, thereby liberating his family from his slum home.
However, the impact of a training match broke Diamond's Achilles tendon, which was almost a dream.
Sutures after the Achilles tendon rupture are sufficient for ordinary people, and can be said to be a nightmare for professional football players. If you are a well-known athlete, you may still be able to play on the basis of experience. Young people who have not yet become professional athletes are so traumatized. If they want to continue to dream, they can only ...
Rely on insurance companies.
Diamond's school has fairly comprehensive insurance and is extremely flexible. Although not enough for him to go to a super expensive hospital, it is enough to pay for the private hospital where Morris is located, and to go to countries like China or India for treatment.
Morris whispered to comfort Diamond, and said, ”The doctor I am looking for is a very famous doctor in China. His new technology was invented by an academician and has been treated by many people. Some athletes have recovered. They are all good. ”
”Some recover well, others?” Diamond's brain was still adequate.
”The recovery is also good. There are no examples of failure.” Morris said: ”The Achilles tendon repair is only one aspect, and the subsequent rehabilitation training is also very important. After the operation, you have a great chance, in four months Intensive training. ”
Diamond murmured ”four months” and said, ”This is what I need.”
”Yes, you can have time to participate in the next season of the game, or even training before the game.” Morris whispered again: ”I talked with your coach, he will give you a chance, as long as you can pass a season Test, you will become the strong one who comes back from the injury, not the injured. ”
”What if it fails?” Dimon's voice was low.
”If the Achilles tendon repair fails, the most serious consequence is difficulty walking, and further fractures, infections, adhesions, etc. of Achilles tendon may cause such results.” Morris knew that Diamond was definitely willing, if not, He would not come by a day's flight, and earlier communication would be rejected. However, Morris still tempted: ”I saw Dr. Ling Ran performing surgery with his own eyes. His technology is very good. It is the world's top technology. You don't have to worry too much.”
Diamond murmured a deep ”En”, his head hung down with little energy.
”We went directly to the hospital. We have a day off today, we will start the examination tomorrow, and then we will meet with the surgeon.” Morris did not want to persuade Diamond, as long as he could understand.
Dr. Morris beckoned again, and the resident at the Bone Joint and Sports Medicine Center came forward to help push the wheelchair.
It is not unusual for a bone, joint, and sports medicine center to have a foreign patient to come to the clinic. It is rare to find a doctor to perform a certain operation.
There are actually many cases of foreigners coming to China. For example, hospitals in some cities near Russia have patients from the former Soviet Union all year round.
Chinese hospitals can provide services above the standard, and the price is low. Even if the travel and accommodation costs are added, it can save a lot of expenses for foreign patients.
However, domestic medical resources are tight. For such low-end foreign customers, they neither refuse nor pursue, which is essentially different from the ”flying knife” that doctors believe.
Flying knives are people, that is, they came from the doctor.
Foreign customers who only visit ordinary outpatient clinics for money are not considered flying knives.
In contrast, patients with doctors in private hospitals and insurance companies paying high medical expenses are very high-end for bone, joint and sports medicine companies.
Once high-end medical services are faced with global competition.
Winning the global competition is commendable for any Chinese hospital.
The Bone, Joint and Sports Medicine Center drove Dimond back to the hospital with his ambulance for a long time.
A lot of doctors started the consultation early, and didn't even need to load samples in the conference room.
