Social Death Patient 077
Jiang Ruo and Meng Yushi followed him into Bai Jiesui's house, anxiously waiting for Bai Jiesui to examine Jiang Ruo.
Bai Jiesui had already seen Jiang Ruo's medical records from previous years, and this time his main purpose was to check Jiang Ruo's specific condition.
Meng Yushi looked obviously more nervous than Jiang Ruo. No matter where Bai Jiesui was checking, his eyes followed Bai Jiesui's movements.
When Bai Jiesui lifted Jiang Ruo's skirt and saw her legs that had been paralyzed for many years, she turned around and looked at Meng Yushi in surprise.
"What's wrong with Doctor Bai?" Meng Yushi asked in panic.
Bai Jiesui immediately relaxed her expression and smiled at him.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just a little surprised that Ms. Jiang's legs haven't shrunk much. They don't look like the legs of someone who's been paralyzed for over 20 years."
Before Meng Yushi could speak, Jiang Ruo took the initiative to speak.
"He often gives me leg massages and helps me stretch my leg muscles. Whenever he's at home, he'll do leg exercises for three or four hours every day. Even when he comes home late from work, he'll still give me a massage. Sometimes, when he has to go on a business trip for a while, he'll even arrange for a caregiver. He's always worried about my legs."
Meng Yushi later explained, "I've seen other patients whose legs haven't been used, their muscles atrophied to the point of being reduced to skin. I also hope Jiang Ruo can stand up. I don't want her legs to be unable to move during rehabilitation."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo laughed at Bai Jiesui and said, "Doctor Bai, don't put too much pressure on him. He is just an idealist and thinks everything is very simple."
Meng Yushi understood what Jiang Ruo meant and regretted what he had just said.
Because of them, Bai Jiesui was caught in the whirlpool of online public opinion. He also showed a positive desire for a good result. Isn't this continuing to put pressure on Bai Jiesui?
Meng Yushi quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Jiang Ruo is right. I am indeed an idealist. I've heard many people say that about me. But my biggest goal is not to let Jiang Ruo's legs look like other paralyzed patients. I hope her legs at least look healthy."
Bai Jiesui finished her preliminary examination of Jiang Ruo's condition and scanned their faces. "Why do you say Mr. Meng is idealistic? While Ms. Jiang's leg condition isn't simple, it's not so severe it's incurable."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Yushi and Jiang Ruo were both stunned.
"Doctor Bai, do you mean that Jiang Ruo's legs have a chance to stand up?" Meng Yushi's face did not show joy for the time being, but became more anxious instead.
Jiang Ruo sat up straight and moved forward unconsciously.
Bai Jiesui nodded knowingly. "It's all thanks to Mr. Meng's persistence over the years. When it comes time for rehabilitation, Ms. Jiang will find it much easier and it will take less time than others."
She has explained it so clearly. If Jiang Ruo and Meng Yushi still don't understand, then their trip would be in vain.
Understanding it is one thing, but digesting it is another.
Jiang Ruo's heart was pounding, afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she turned around and grabbed Meng Yushi's hand.
"Yushi, did you hear what Doctor Bai said just now?"
Because of excitement and nervousness, Meng Yushi's heartbeat was faster than Jiang Ruo's.
He shook Jiang Ruo's hand and looked at Bai Jiesui eagerly: "Doctor Bai, you are not teasing us, are you?"
Bai Jiesui gave Jiang Ruo physical therapy and Chinese medicine fumigation in the room.
Meng Yushi was waiting in the living room, and even now he was still a little dazed.
He could smell a strong scent of Chinese herbal medicine at the tip of his nose. This smell repeatedly reminded Meng Yushi that Jiang Ruo was receiving treatment in the room at this time.
It was he who advocated finding the person, and it was he who tried his best to persuade Jiang Ruo to come for treatment. However, he had not expected it to be so smooth before coming. After just less than half an hour of consultation and examination, Bai Jiesui had already developed a treatment plan for Jiang Ruo.
Meng Yushi couldn't sit still and kept pacing back and forth in the living room, passing by the treatment room from time to time. He didn't dare to open the door to look in, for fear of disturbing the treatment.
During the waiting period, Meng Yushi's phone kept ringing, with people calling from time to time.
At first, apart from some acquaintances he knew, almost all of the people he received were gossip media, who wanted to get some first-hand information from him, or wanted to get some words out of him so as to take the opportunity to hype it up and attract attention.
Meng Yushi was so annoyed that he didn't answer any calls or reply to any messages.
After anxiously waiting for nearly two hours, Jiang Ruo's treatment for the day was finally over.
"How do you feel? Have you felt any changes in your body?" Meng Yushi asked Jiang Ruo immediately.
Jiang Ruo lay on his side on the bed and said with a smile, "Why are you so anxious? It won't work that quickly."
She had Chinese medicine fumigation done on her lower back. Meng Yushi cleaned the residual medicine on her lower back, helped her up and put on her coat.
Although Meng Yushi knew that the treatment would not be effective that quickly, he couldn't help but ask. After he had finished packing for Jiang Ruo, he asked again.
"You really don't feel any changes at all?"
Jiang Ruo didn't say anything, just stared into his eyes.
Meng Yushi continued to ask, "Think carefully about it. Do you feel more relaxed? Do you feel any swelling or soreness anywhere? Is it a different feeling than usual?"
Jiang Ruo continued to look at him and speak, still without giving any response.
Meng Yushi talked to himself for a long time, and he felt embarrassed and touched his nose awkwardly.
"I know I'm a little anxious, so I won't ask anymore."
At this time, Jiang Ruo could no longer hold it back and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"You're lying. Actually, I can clearly feel the changes."
"What changes?" Meng Yushi waited expectantly for her to speak.
Jiang Ruo: "My legs were numb and I had no feeling in them before. Just now, when Dr. Bai was giving me the acupuncture, I could clearly feel a slight soreness where she inserted the needle. I asked Dr. Bai, and she told me that this was normal and would become more obvious later."
"Really?" Meng Yushi's eyes lit up.
Jiang Ruo nodded with certainty: "Really!"
They looked at each other for a while. Meng Yushi looked down at Jiang Ruo's legs, then looked up at Jiang Ruo's face. He stretched out his trembling hand to touch Jiang Ruo's legs.
At this time, Jie Sui came over and, under the gaze of the two, tried to tap Jiang Ruo's knee.
Jiang Ruo's legs swayed slightly under her tapping.
Jiang Ruo and Meng Yushi both knew that this was called the knee jerk reflex.
Neither of them dared to believe their eyes until Bai Jiesui tapped Jiang Ruo's knee again and saw that Jiang Ruo's leg reacted again.
This time they were sure that it was not their eyes that were blurring the lines, but that Jiang Ruo's legs did have a knee jerk reflex.
Meng Yushi was extremely surprised: "Your legs can move?"
"I don't know either." Jiang Ruo was even more surprised than Meng Yushi.
The fact that she could feel the acupuncture process just now was enough to surprise Jiang Ruo. She never thought that she would have a knee-jerk reflex.
Jiang Ruo's lower body can be described as completely numb, with neither any sense of touch nor knee jerk reflex. This was the diagnosis made by the doctor very early on.
"Doctor Bai, what's happening to her?" The two of them looked at Bai Jiesui eagerly.
Bai Jiesui straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that today's treatment was quite effective."
"You're already seeing a reaction after just one day of treatment?" Meng Yushi's face was filled with disbelief, as if he had forgotten that he was the one who had just asked Jiang Ruo if she felt anything.
"Could you feel me tapping your leg just now?" Bai Jiesui asked Jiang Ruo.
Jiang Ruo nodded repeatedly: "I feel it a little, but it's not particularly obvious."
Bai Jiesui: "If you continue with the treatment for a while, your sense of touch will gradually become more sensitive, your knee-jerk reflex will become more pronounced, and you'll be able to perform local movements."
Meng Yushi: "When her sense of touch is fully restored, will it be..."
Bai Jiesui nodded and said, "By then, we can start rehabilitation training."
Except for the time when he successfully proposed, Meng Yushi had never been as excited as he was now.
At this moment, his heart was almost beating in his throat.
"So, after completing the rehabilitation training, what kind of condition can she recover to?"
Bai Jiesui: "We do not recommend high-intensity exercise for Ms. Jiang, but as long as she persists in rehabilitation training, she will be able to walk and stand freely like an ordinary person without any problems."
Although Meng Yushi has always been an idealist, he is definitely not a delusional one.
Every time he took Jiang Ruo to see a doctor, he always maintained an optimistic attitude towards the results. However, this optimism was not the kind of optimism without bottom line. He did not delusionally expect Jiang Ruo to recover to be the same as a normal person, but optimistically hoped that there would be new progress every time.
For example, the time she can sit up can be longer, or her toes can move slightly. The ideal situation is that Jiang Ruo can recover some leg strength, temporarily get out of the wheelchair, and stand with the help of crutches, so that her movements will be much more convenient.
Before coming to see Bai Jiesui, he had made the same plan. He would be satisfied as long as there was a little effect, like recovering to the point where he could walk and stand like a normal person. Meng Yushi had never dared to dream of such a thing.
If he had not seen with his own eyes the knee jerk reflex in Jiang Ruo's legs, he might never have believed that Dr. Bai actually had the ability to make Jiang Ruo stand up.
When he returned to the hotel at night, he couldn't contain his excitement and kept giving Jiang Ruo knee jerk reflexes. Every time they saw the subtle knee jerk reflex in Jiang Ruo's legs, they both felt particularly satisfied.
That night, the two of them were so excited because of their knee-jerk reflex that they stayed up very late. Meng Yushi even dreamed that Jiang Ruo stood up.
Meng Yushi completed the procedures for long-term residence at a nearby hotel and took Jiang Ruo to Bai Jiesui for treatment every day.
The treatment plan is still physical therapy and Chinese medicine fumigation.
After a period of treatment, Jiang Ruo's condition has improved greatly.
First of all, she can maintain a sitting posture, is more sensitive to touch, and has a more pronounced knee-jerk reflex than before. In addition, her toes can move independently.
After the examination, Bai Jiesui told them that Jiang Ruo would be able to start rehabilitation training soon.
Because Jiang Ruo's online connection has attracted a lot of attention from the beginning, in order to prevent netizens from making random guesses, Meng Yushi has been recording Jiang Ruo's treatment progress in the form of video since Jiang Ruo's condition began to improve.
Including Jiang Ruo's foot movements and knee jerk reflex, Meng Yushi often updates it online every day.
At first, no one took it seriously, thinking it was just a small reaction and there was nothing to record. Some people even joked that it couldn't be seen without a magnifying glass.
Until one day Meng Yushi uploaded a new video. In the video, Jiang Ruo was able to stand up with the help of the table. Although she could not stand for long, her legs actually took a step forward.
Now, no matter whether people were optimistic or pessimistic at the beginning, everyone was shocked by this video.
[A medical miracle, Jiang Ruo actually stood up]
[Those who were previously sarcastic about Teacher Xiaobai, weren't they mocking him for saying medical miracles? Now a medical miracle has actually happened. I wonder if your faces are hurting right now? [Laughing]]
[I apologize to Teacher Xiaobai. My voice was a bit loud at first [kneel], but I've already been taught a lesson by the top leader [kneel]]
I'm so curious about how Teacher Xiaobai treated Jiang Ruo. How could she still stand up after being paralyzed for over 20 years?
[The medical student said that it can only be explained by a medical miracle, because I can't figure it out either, and I have no idea how she cured it.]
I have a paralyzed patient at home. I need help getting connected to Teacher Xiaobai. It’s always my turn, and I’m about to cry.
I want to connect with my patients at home. I’ve been watching Teacher Xiaobai’s livestream for two months, but I haven’t been able to connect once. There are so many people connecting that I’m crying.
Teacher Xiaobai's miraculous healing skills have brought Jiang Ruo back to health. As for her ex-husband, I wonder what stage his illness is at? Will his dream of having a son come true? [Eat melon]]
[How dare my ex-husband look for Teacher Xiaobai? I am too embarrassed.]
Speaking of my ex-husband, my friend who was an extra in the film industry told me that the day after he finished his interview with Teacher Xiaobai, he saw him in a store near the film and television city. He was looking for a mother for his child, and he was targeting beautiful young women in their twenties.
[Oh my god, an old cow wants to eat young grass, he is so shameless]
[He's looking for the child's mother. Young girls are more suitable for bearing children. My ex-husband is very calculating.]
Jiang Ruo sparked heated discussions, but in the end it was Gan Bo who was ridiculed by everyone.
It is conceivable that after some time, when Jiang Ruo has fully recovered and is able to resume work, Gan Bo will be ridiculed more and more by the public.
This period was the longest time Yan Yushan had stayed at home since he became an adult. Because he stayed at home all day for half a month and seemed to have nothing to do, he was almost disliked by the old couple.
Yan Yushan hears this sentence almost every day.
"How long are you going to stay at home? Can you go out to work?"
Yan Yushan felt that the old couple was too difficult to serve. When he was too busy with work to come home, they would complain that he was not at home. If he stayed at home for two more days, they would think he was an eyesore.
"Didn't you say I don't care about you? I came back to accompany you in your old age."
"We're not too old to be unable to move. Why do we need you to accompany us? I get annoyed when I look at your old face for too long."
"I can't help at home at all, and I'm in the way, which makes it difficult for me to do my work."
Although they said this, they actually arranged a lot of work for Yan Yushan. In any case, he was never idle for a single day at home.
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that the three-time Golden Horse Award winner who is so successful in the outside world has to cook, clean up the mess, and weed the garden when he returns home.
The old couple didn't have to do anything, yet they still thought he was an eyesore.
If Xiao Chu lends a hand to help, he will also be treated sarcastically by the old couple.
However, his days of being an eyesore at home didn't last more than two days, as the crew from the uninhabited area far away in the west had already returned, and the busy post-production and publicity stages would begin next.
As the leading actor and one of the main creators, he also invested money. You can imagine how busy he will be with the subsequent work.
Before going back to work, he went next door to see Bai Jiesui, mainly to tell her about his itinerary.
"I still have some work to do. Once I finish this drama, I'll have a lot of free time."
Although they have seen each other every day in the past half month, and he often takes the initiative to come to Bai Jiesui to help with work, Bai Jiesui has never been familiar with him and rarely takes the initiative to talk to him.
Just like now, knowing that he had to go back to work, she just said lightly that she understood, without any other emotion.
Yan Yushan also knew that it would be a long process for her to accept him, and he didn't dare to expect her to give him any response now.
However, he did not forget to report to Bai Jiesui on the progress of his investigation.
"I've been investigating your mother's departure, but it happened so long ago that it's a bit difficult to investigate, and many people are hard to contact. However, I recently found your mother's roommate from training camp. I've contacted her and plan to talk to her. She and your mother shared a room, so she should be the person who knows the most about the situation before your mother left."
It is impossible to get Hua Xin to confess voluntarily. She will definitely not admit it. The only way is to investigate in a roundabout way by starting from the people Bai Shuang knows.
He has contacted almost everyone he could contact recently, such as Bai Shuang's classmates and friends, but the information they could provide was very little.
They are as busy as Bai Shuang. In this circle, there is no chance without hard work. They are either running around to the crew or auditioning every day, or learning various skills at their own expense. They have very little time to meet each other and basically communicate by phone. They don't even know that Bai Shuang is in a relationship, let alone discover other abnormal situations.
Moreover, they still didn't know that Bai Shuang had passed away. When Xiao Chu told them, they sighed for a while.
The information they knew was very limited, but one of their friends gave them an important piece of information.
Bai Shuang made a new friend during the training camp, who was her roommate.
At that time, in order to win a role, Bai Shuang participated in the crew's training and was assigned to live with a girl.
According to Bai Shuang's friends, the relationship between the two is very good. Although Bai Shuang and her roommate are competitors, they get along surprisingly well.
She lives in the same room with Bai Shuang every day. She should be the first to discover anything abnormal about Bai Shuang. Maybe she knows some inside information.
Bai Jiesui finally reacted differently and asked, "What's your name?"
"I don't know if you know her. Her name is Duranna. She used to be a pretty famous actress, but she hasn't been seen much lately."
He specifically checked and found out that in the martial arts costume drama that Bai Shuang participated in the training camp, Durana played the leading female role. Because of that drama, Durana became famous and became the childhood goddess in the hearts of many people.
After becoming famous through that drama, Duranna met her current wealthy husband at a dinner party and successfully married into a wealthy family. Now she rarely acts.
Occasionally you can see her appearing in one or two dramas, or recording variety shows, and sometimes she will bring her husband with her.
Because of her, her husband also became a celebrity and the family business grew rapidly.
Duranna is now living a prosperous life.
Bai Jiesui thought for a moment and said, "Sounds a bit familiar."
"Have you seen her plays before?" Yan Yushan couldn't help feeling jealous when he said this. When Bai Jiesui was a child, she only watched the plays her mother had filmed, and had never seen his plays. If she had seen Duranna's plays, Yan Yushan would be extremely jealous.
Bai Jiesui remembered this person and took out his cell phone to confirm.
Then he showed the phone screen to Yan Yushan: "I haven't seen it, we are going to her house to record the show."
Coincidentally, she had just received a message from the program, saying that they were not recording the program for Durana alone, but were going to Durana's house.
At this time, Durana didn't know the situation, so she called a beautician to come to her house to do facials for herself and her best friend.
And her best friend is none other than Hua Xin, who has been feeling heartbroken recently.
"Look at you. Can you be happier about getting a facial? It's just a job, no big deal. If you still want an agent, why not start your own company? Is it because you don't have enough money? Do you need some support?"
Hua Hin is short of money, but it’s not about money at the moment.
Whenever Hua Xin thought about hearing those words on the phone, she felt very uncomfortable. That was the man she had liked for more than 20 years, and now even seeing him would become a luxury.
“This has nothing to do with work.”
"I know. I will never be able to see that person again. I can only relieve my longing for him on TV." Duranna squinted her eyebrows. There was a beautician on the scene, so Duranna did not say Yan Yushan's name directly.
Durana teased Huaxin by taking advantage of her sore spot, and Huaxin's face became even uglier, and she turned her face away.
Later, Duranna continued, "I admit that men as good as him are rare in the world, so it's normal for you to be obsessed with him. But he doesn't have you in his heart. The more you throw yourself at him, the less he'll appreciate you. It's better to settle for the next best thing. Don't look at his looks or age. Find someone who is willing to spend money on you and support your Zhuo Qi. Then you can live an easy life. Look how carefree I am now."
Duranna is free and easy, but Hua Xin doesn't like her husband and can't sleep with him.
I have already compromised in Huaxin once, and I don’t want to compromise again.
Besides, she couldn't even think about finding a man right now. The current problems were already enough to make her overwhelmed.
"No, you don't know. After that woman left, she secretly gave birth to a daughter for him. Now they have recognized each other as father and daughter. He has noticed the problem from that year and is determined to investigate it thoroughly."
"What? Bai Shuang was pregnant at that time?" Durana suddenly sat up from the beauty bed, and the blood on her face fell on the bed.
The beautician hurriedly picked it up and was persuading Durana to lie down so that she could put on a new facial mask.
Durana threw the troublesome facial mask to the ground and waved to the four beauticians to leave.
"You don't know either?" Hua Xin sat up.
Durana snorted contemptuously, "She said I was her best friend, yet she didn't even tell me about her happy event. Anyway, I have to help her celebrate."
Hua Xin: "Has Brother Yan contacted you recently? You must not let anything slip when the time comes."
Duranna found it a little funny: "Why would he look for me? Bai Shuang and I have only known each other for a short time. Who would know that I know her?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang at the right time.
Durana frowned as she looked at the content on her phone. Hua Xin's heart skipped a beat. She had been so unlucky recently and was very afraid that good things would not work and bad things would come to her.
She nervously asked tentatively, "Is it Brother Yan?"
"no."
Hua Xin had just felt relieved when he heard Durana say.
"Someone came to my house to record a program, saying it was a medical program."
Hua Xin felt that it sounded unusually familiar.
After seeing the details of the message, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she felt that this news was no different from Yan Yushan coming to her house.
