Chapter 270 Questioning
"It was quite serious at the time," Ander said, "but fortunately a female doctor treated me in time. I have regained feeling in my leg, but I still need to rest."
Dr. Corey said, "Then I'll take you out of the hospital now and apply for your immediate return to your home country for treatment."
Ander exclaimed "Ah!" and then blinked. "I'm not going back. I'll stay here for treatment. Didn't Lyle and the others tell you that?"
Dr. Corey arrived early in the morning and met Lyle and his group in the lobby as they went out to buy food.
Only then did he learn from Lyle and the others about the treatment method that China had given Ander.
Upon hearing this, he thought to himself, "This is terrible!"
The medical skills of the doctors here are nowhere near as good as theirs.
When they went upstairs, they bumped into Dr. Liu, who was about to treat Ander, and the two got into a fight after a disagreement.
Upon seeing this, the medical staff immediately called Dean Kong to mediate.
Then Jiang Ning went upstairs and saw Dean Kong talking to the other person.
Dr. Corey had never seen anyone recover so quickly from leg paralysis.
He frowned and said, "Don't be fooled. Your legs aren't paralyzed at all. They're just saying that on purpose."
When he met Lyle, he heard Lyle praising the local medical skills to the skies.
A few needles can save a life.
joke.
Upon hearing this, Dean Kong, who had just argued with Dr. Corey, immediately said, "The doctor who was on duty at our hospital last night used equipment to examine this patient, and the examination report should be in the room."
The other party was a foreigner, and foreigners should always be mindful of the current relationship when they come here. However, Dean Kong could easily tell from the other party's tone that they looked down on them.
Ander nodded and said, "Yes, my legs were indeed paralyzed at the time. The test results are inside. Dr. Corey, please come inside with me to take a look."
Dr. Corey followed him into the house, seemingly skeptical.
Ander's legs still prevent him from standing for long periods of time, so he sat on the hospital bed as soon as he entered the room.
Then he didn't forget to hand the test report to Dr. Corey.
Dr. Corey took the newspaper from Ander and read it carefully, afraid of missing any detail.
Moreover, he discovered from the examination report that the hospital's equipment was not outdated and was ranked among the best in the world.
Dean Kong couldn't help but snort inwardly when he saw him staring at a certain part of the inspection report.
You're stupid.
He was, after all, a Western medicine graduate. Although he valued the Chinese medicine department, he didn't neglect the Western medicine department either.
After he reorganized the hospital, he used many connections to obtain a lot of high-quality equipment for the Western medicine department.
Dr. Corey looked at the examination report and realized that Ander had indeed fallen very seriously.
He must have received emergency treatment before being taken to the hospital, which is why he regained feeling in his leg on the spot.
Does China really have such amazing medical skills?
He had heard of acupuncture before, but had never seen it in person.
He always thought it was just hearsay.
That's what I was thinking, but the test report in my hand was definitely not fake.
Dr. Corey thought for a moment, then looked at Dean Kong, the only person who could communicate with him in English, and asked, "What kind of follow-up treatment should Ander receive?"
Dean Kong wasn't particularly familiar with Ander's injuries either, and he was about to ask Dr. Liu, who was standing next to him.
Suddenly a familiar female voice broke in, speaking in English, "His leg injury is severe. If you don't want his leg to have any long-term effects, he will need three months of treatment, with each week as a course of treatment."
"Dr. Jiang!" Hearing Jiang Ning's voice, he looked at her excitedly.
He was taken to the hospital yesterday, and the doctor who examined him said that if he hadn't received timely treatment, his legs would have been permanently damaged.
It was also because of the female doctor in the camp yesterday that he had some different views on doctors in China.
He had thought the medical care here was inferior to what they had back home, but this treatment truly opened his eyes.
"Dr. Jiang, are you also a doctor at this hospital?" Ander almost jumped out of bed again when he saw Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said that his legs were not yet suitable for standing and walking, and that more rest would be beneficial for recovery.
After Jiang Ning entered the ward, it took a while for Ander and the others to realize that Jiang Ning could speak English.
But no one present investigated why she could speak English.
Dr. Corey guessed from Ander's reaction that the young Chinese woman who came in must be the female doctor who treated Ander.
Such a young female doctor?
He was puzzled by Jiang Ning's age, but not by the treatment she mentioned.
Given the severity of Ander's condition, if he were to receive treatment, he would likely require conservative treatment for four to six months.
Nerve paralysis is no joke.
When Dean Kong saw Jiang Ning enter, his tense emotions unconsciously relaxed.
Sometimes it's really hard to see eye to eye with this foreigner. Although he didn't say it outright, he implied that he looked down on their medical skills.
Sure enough, Dr. Corey raised another question, "Three months of treatment? Does that mean Ander's legs will be fully recovered after three months?"
Dr. Corey conducted a basic assessment of Ander's leg condition and then raised this question based on the examination report.
"Yes, fully recovered." Jiang Ning nodded.
Actually, she was being conservative. The treatment given to Ander yesterday was very timely, preventing his condition from becoming serious.
Moreover, no one moved him easily after he was injured.
His leg is much easier to treat than Old Master He's leg.
Ander's leg will recover after another month of acupuncture treatment. I said two more months just so he could rest and recover more.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's assurance that Ander's leg could fully recover, Dr. Corey looked on with disbelief.
He couldn't even guarantee that Ander's leg would fully recover in four months, so where did this young female doctor get such confidence?
Although Dr. Corey looked distrustful, he couldn't say anything more since Ander had offered to stay for treatment.
Soon everyone else will be returning to the US, but Ander's leg cannot be moved easily, and the hospital recommends that he stay for treatment.
Ander didn't hesitate and submitted a report saying he wanted to stay for treatment.
He wanted to stay, and Dr. Corey also offered to stay and watch over Ander.
Although the other party didn't say it, Jiang Ning could tell that she didn't quite believe what Dr. Corey was saying to her. Regardless of whether she believed it or not, if he wanted to stay, then he could stay.
Ander assumed that Jiang Ning would continue to treat him, but Dr. Jiang refused, telling him that another doctor would treat him instead.
Jiang Ning usually has patients on a waiting list, and she simply couldn't find any other time to treat Ander.
When he learned that it wasn't Jiang Ning who treated him, Ander was somewhat disappointed, since he trusted Dr. Jiang. But since the doctor who treated him was recommended by Dr. Jiang, he didn't dwell on it anymore.
The work at the hospital and school is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Once November and December are over, and New Year's Day is approaching, it gets so cold that you have to wear a thick cotton coat.
On New Year's Day, the family will have a meal together.
Because we're going back to the Shen family's house in the retirement compound for a meal on New Year's Day.
Fearing she might have an unpleasant meal at home, Ms. Shen suggested they eat at home beforehand.
Jiang Ning and Shen Mo naturally had no objections to this matter.
Shen's mother originally wanted to have dinner at their home in the city, but their home in the city was an apartment building and not very spacious.
Shen Ziming and Shen Qianqian will also have a holiday for New Year's Day. Now that they have two little ones, it would be bad if they were busy at home and the children bumped or fell.
Finally, Shen Mo and Jiang Ning discussed it and decided to have the meal at the family compound.
Shen Ziming usually works at the registration unit and rarely has time off. Whenever he has a holiday, he buys a lot of things for his nephew and niece.
Aunt Shen Qianqian also took out her own pocket money to buy some toys for the two little ones.
The meal at the family compound was, of course, very enjoyable.
The next day, they returned to the Shen family's place.
But to their astonishment, Shen Bingwei's attitude had completely changed.
Shen Bingwei and Shen's father had previously been like enemies, but today, upon meeting, Shen Bingwei greeted him with a beaming smile and tried to get on his good side.
As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Shen reached the door, Shen Bingwei came out with a smile to greet them.
They even thoughtfully reached out to take the things that Mr. and Mrs. Shen were carrying.
Shen Bingwei said with a smile, "Big brother, you're back now, why bother buying anything? I take care of Dad, and I always buy him these things."
He reached out to pick up the things. Although Mr. Shen was puzzled, he figured that since free labor was being offered to him, he might as well give it to him.
After taking the items, Shen Bingwei also took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Shen's father.
"Brother, this is something I brought back from Hong Kong. You can try it."
Father Shen: "?"
Shen's father did not accept the gift from Shen Bingwei. He felt that this sudden, unsolicited kindness was not a good thing.
“I don’t smoke,” Mr. Shen said.
Shen Bingwei didn't insist on offering them cigarettes. He led them inside, where a large table of dishes had already been prepared.
Mother Shen was even more surprised.
That's really strange. Ever since they separated, the relationship between the two families has become increasingly strained, and they rarely exchange pleasantries.
When Shen's parents returned to the Shen family home and wanted to have a meal, they had to bring their own food and meat.
During holidays, they would respect the old man's wishes, and the whole family could still sit down at the table and have a proper meal.
But this meal has to be prepared by both families together. Why did Shen Bingwei, who is so narrow-minded, prepare it in advance this time?
Shen's father and mother had doubts.
But he also knew Shen Bingwei's character well.
Shen Bingwei is not a generous person, and Shen Pianran's matter is ultimately related to Jiang Ning. The previous incident caused such a big fuss that the two families almost became enemies.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Shen's parents used to value their family highly, but after being sent to the countryside, they have hardened their hearts.
Now, no matter what Shen Bingwei or the old man says, it won't touch their hearts.
Shen's father felt that Shen Bingwei was up to no good, since he wasn't the type to beat around the bush.
Seeing Shen Bingwei's obsequious smile, she frowned and said, "Just say what you have to say, don't put on this act."
Shen Mo, who was following behind, whispered in Jiang Ning's ear, "Judging from the way Second Uncle looks, he probably needs something from my parents."
Jiang Ning had witnessed her second uncle's ability to change his attitude. Previously, because of Shen Pianran, the two families had become enemies, but now they had suddenly become very polite to each other.
Shen Bingwei smiled and said, "Brother, what are you saying? Our two families did have some conflicts in the past, but a lot has happened in the family recently. I just hope that our family can have a peaceful meal together now."
Jiang Ning and Shen Mo exchanged a glance, and the couple tacitly saw obvious ingratiation and calculation on Shen Bingwei's smiling face.
Shen's father and mother were both easygoing people, so they naturally couldn't see through those scheming thoughts.
But now they've become more discerning and haven't responded to Shen Bingwei's flattery at all.
Shen Bingwei led the whole family through the door.
Old Master Shen was already seated at the head of the table.
Jiang Ning looked at Old Master Shen. He had survived thanks to her treatment, but now he was taking medicine every day, and his complexion was far worse than before.
As Jiang Ning mentioned last time, the old man only has two years left to live, and he's now counting down the days until he's old enough to live out his remaining time.
After experiencing setbacks, when Mr. Shen saw his eldest son's family again, he no longer viewed them with prejudice.
At the dinner table, Shen Bingwei instructed his wife to serve food to everyone at the table.
Second Aunt also went to get food for Shen's parents with a smile on her face, and even the younger generation such as Shen Mo, Jiang Ning, Shen's older brother, and Shen Qianqian were not left out.
The whole family sat down before they started eating.
Shen Bingwei kept telling his father at the table how delicious certain dishes were.
As they were talking, they brought the dishes to Mr. Shen.
It wasn't enough to just serve the dishes; she also put a chicken leg into her father's bowl.
Shen's father was not used to his obsequious manner.
Shen Bingwei had always treated the old man this way before, so why was his attitude towards him so strange today?
When Shen Bingwei brought over the chicken leg, Shen's father suddenly moved the bowl, and the chicken leg fell onto the table.
Shen Bingwei's smiling face froze for a moment, then he smiled again, picked up the chicken leg that had fallen on the table and put it in his own bowl, and then picked up other dishes for his father.
Mr. Shen blocked the bowl, remaining unmoved by Shen Bingwei's flattery and obsequiousness. "Just say what you have to say. This may work on the old man, but it won't work on me."
Father Shen always spoke bluntly, and his words were like tearing off a fig leaf.
If it were in the past that Shen Bingwei had said such things, he would have tried his best to please the old man. Once the old man was happy, he would pretend he hadn't heard what Shen Bingwei said.
But now, Shen Bingwei did not try to please the old man because of his father's words.
Shen Bingwei's eyes showed a hint of anxiety at his father's words.
Shen Bingwei's second aunt, who was standing to the side, also glanced at him.
Shen Bingwei received his wife's signal, but he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
Seeing that her husband was too embarrassed to admit it, the second aunt didn't care about losing face herself.
Anyway, some things have to be said sooner or later.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, you know that Dad's health isn't very good right now, right?"
Upon hearing the other person mention the old man, both Mr. and Mrs. Shen put down their chopsticks and looked at their second aunt.
So what are you trying to say?
