Boss Wen knew that he was on good terms with the British doctor. He did not say anything as he smiled and said, ”Please! Please! Brother, please save my relatives. ” The old man said, ”You're welcome. You're welcome. If your mother is in trouble, I should try my best. ” Boss Wen was so happy that he ordered the waiters to go with him. Mr. Li hurried out of the house and went with the waiter to the English hospital in the eastern suburbs.
The old man left quickly and came back in a hurry. Soon, he invited the English doctor, Barak, to come with him. Bala was tall and thin, with fair skin and a box of things in his hand. He entered the room feeling pleased with himself and did not bother to be polite to anyone. He put the things down and put on his mask so that he could see only his eyelids. Yet, he didn't have any Invigorated Meridian. It was truly strange for him to be able to take a closer look.
He took out an item first. The two ends were iron, and the middle part was rubber. Yuan Ming and the waiter didn't recognize that thing. Barak put the thing in his ear once more and put it in Yuan Ming's arms; then, holding his breath, he listened.
The clerk whispered to the boss, ”This Englishman must love to listen to plays. ”Look at him using that thing. Let's see what Yuan Ming will do next.”
The boss said, ”That's not a headset, it's a stethoscope. He listened to Yuan Ming's heartbeat. When he finished listening to the movements in his heart, he knew that his illness was of the highest priority. Doctor Yang does not know how to cut a vein, and they all use this kind of thing to treat patients. ”
The assistant said, ”That's strange. How can we run over there when there's movement?”
The board said: ”The British imitated the ears of cattle, invented this kind of thing. ”It's incredibly simple.”
The worker said doubtfully, ”What's so special about an ox's ears? ”How can you invent such a thing?”
The boss laughed, ”Niu has no ear holes. How can you hear something?” The British are based on this principle. You will come to the country to see the ears of the oxen, and you will understand. ”
When Bara Li finished listening, he lifted up Yuan Ming's leg and pressed down on Yuan Ming's knee, asking him if it was painful. Yuan Ming could not understand. Seeing that Yuan Ming did not say anything, he pinched the skin on Yuan Ming's leg. He saw Yuan Ming frown and knew that Yuan Ming was in pain.
Barak finished the examination. He put away the stethoscope and shook his head repeatedly. ”What, what, what!” He spoke a lot of foreign languages. Yuan Ming did not understand and anxiously asked Mr. Li, ”Mr. Li, Dr. Yang, what do you think about my illness?”
Mr. Li said, ”Mr. Balali said, 'This disease of yours is called osteomyelitis. Severe illness, acute illness. Without prompt treatment, the prognosis is not good. It was too late, his bones were festering, and his life was in danger. Only British hospitals can cure the disease now. China and other countries are lagging behind in their medical skills and are definitely unable to treat this disease. I want you to go to the English Hospital in the East suburbs and get hospitalized. ”
When Yuan Ming heard this, he felt fear in his heart and quickly said, ”Thank you, Mr. Balali! ”Then I'll hurry to the English hospital.”
Mr. Lee turned back to Barak and spoke in foreign language. Bala Li said a few more words before shaking his head and sighing. He seemed to be quarrelling with Mr. Li.
Mr. Li was bewildered, as if he had no responsibility for Bala. Boss Wen was also worried, not knowing what they were talking about.
It turned out that Mr. Li was worried about the cost of entering the hospital, the cost of living, nursing, and medicine. He was worried that Yuan Ming would not be able to afford it. He wanted Balali to bring out some good medicine and treat him on the spot.
Mr. Li then asked him, ”Sir, what good methods do you have to treat this disease? Can you heal the patient as soon as possible? ”
Barak said, ”The treatment is simple. Saw it off his hip before the inflammation of his leg spreads. In this way, he would need a month to recover completely. You have to go to the hospital for this kind of surgery. British hospitals are cheap, and five thousand dollars is enough. ”
Mr. Li was greatly disappointed and argued with him, ”I heard that you guys are well-developed in western medicine, have advanced technology, and have quick-acting anti-inflammatory drugs, so I came to find you. If you want to sever a leg, what kind of skill is that? You should use medicine first. If you can't, you can't cut your leg. Saw the leg from the beginning, this is very inappropriate. You should reformulate the treatment plan. Wouldn't it be easy to amputate? The Chinese knew it in ancient times. ”
”The anti-inflammatory drugs of western medicine are all for external use. They can be used to treat external injuries, but there is no medicine to treat internal injuries, and there is no injection. If he couldn't cure her, he would have to sever her leg. You Chinese only know how to be superstitious about western medicine. ”Western medicine has some special effects and can be used as an anesthetic or an analgesic. It is not suitable for treating this disease.” When Mr. Li heard this, he was stunned and no longer had any ideas in his mind.
