Chapter 295 Admission

Diamond sat in a wheelchair, with the help of the flight attendant, boarded the plane, and transferred from Johannesburg Airport, South Africa, all the way to China's Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Diamond was about to shed tears when he saw the familiar doctor Morris at the airport.

"I think my feet are going to be broken, and the swelling is getting worse." Diamond sat in a wheelchair, terrified to death.

"Let me take a look." Dr. Morris squatted down to check, and then smiled: "It's okay, it's just a normal swelling, and it will subside soon."

Diamond said worriedly: "My feet have been swollen very badly for the past few days, and they were also swollen before I got on the plane."

"It's okay, it will be fine after the operation." Dr. Morris comforted Diamond. As a dedicated sports medicine physician at a private hospital, Morris is good at comforting teenage patients.

Compared with adults, juvenile patients have much weaker tolerance and endurance for the same injury. For athletes and quasi-athletes with poor family conditions, injuries bring not only physical pain, but also mental stress.

Diamond, who is only 19 years old, is a poor South African white athlete with extremely poor family conditions.

He has played rugby at all levels since secondary school and won a college scholarship. If all goes well, Diamond is expected to join the professional team in the next two years, thus liberating the family from the slum dwelling.

However, a collision in a training match ruptured Diamond's Achilles tendon, almost shattering his dream.

Sutures after a ruptured Achilles tendon are sufficient for ordinary people, but for professional football players, it can be said to be a nightmare. If you are an athlete who has been famous for a long time, you may still be able to play with experience. Young people who have not yet become professional athletes have suffered such severe trauma. If they want to continue their dreams, they can only...

Depend on the insurance company.

Diamond’s school has fairly comprehensive insurance and is extremely flexible. Although it is not enough for him to go to the super expensive hospital, it is enough to pay for Morris’s private hospital and to go to countries like China or India for treatment.

Morris comforted Diamond again in a low voice, and said: "The doctor I found for you is a very famous doctor in China. The new technology he used was invented by an academician, and he has treated many people. Some athletes' recovery All very good."

"Some are recovering well, but what about others?" Diamond's brains are still good enough.

"The recovery is not bad,

There are currently no failed examples. "Morris said: "Achilles tendon repair is only one aspect, and the following rehabilitation training is also very important. After the operation, you have a great chance to have high-intensity training within four months. "

Diamond murmured "four months" and said, "This is what I need."

"Yes, you can have time to participate in the next season's game, and even the pre-match training." Morris whispered again: "I have communicated with your coach, he will give you a chance, as long as you can pass a season You're going to come back strong from injury, not injured."

"What if it fails?" Diamond said in a low voice.

"If the Achilles tendon repair fails, the most serious consequence is difficulty in walking. Achilles tendon rupture, infection, adhesion, etc. may cause such results." Morris knew that Diamond would definitely be willing. If not, He will not take a one-day flight to come, and the earlier communication will be rejected. However, Morris still said persuasively: "I saw Dr. Ling Ran perform the operation with my own eyes. His technique is very good, the world's top technique. You don't have to worry too much."

Diamond gave a deep "Yes", his head drooping without much energy.

"Let's go directly to the hospital, take a day off today, start the examination tomorrow, and then meet with the surgeon." Morris didn't ask to persuade Diamond, as long as he could understand.

Dr. Morris beckoned again, and the resident doctor from the Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Center came forward to help push the wheelchair.

For the Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Center, it is not uncommon for foreign patients to come to see a doctor, but it is relatively rare to find a doctor by name for 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 the year round.

Chinese hospitals can provide above-standard services at low prices. Even with round-trip travel and accommodation costs, they can save foreign patients a lot of money.

However, domestic medical resources are tight, and such low-end foreign customers are neither rejected nor pursued, which is fundamentally different from the "flying knife" that doctors think.

The flying knives are people, that is, they are rushing towards the doctor who is the chief surgeon.

Foreign clients who visit ordinary outpatient clinics only for money are not considered as flying knives.

In contrast, this kind of doctors with private hospitals and patients with high medical expenses paid by insurance companies are very high-end for bone joint and sports medicine companies.

Once medical services become high-end, they will face global competition.

And winning the global competition is a commendable thing for any Chinese hospital.

The Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Center used the ambulance it hadn't dispatched for a long time to send Diamond back to the hospital at high speed.

A group of doctors even started the consultation early, and they didn't even need to pretend in the conference room.

"Typical Achilles tendon rupture."

"Slightly shrinking."

"The patient is in good health, and from the data point of view, there is no other disease."

"Then go back?" Ling Ran stared at the MRI film for a while, and asked a little lonely.

The patient was so innocent, and although he looked serious, he had nothing to say.

Ji Tianlu coughed vigorously twice, and said: "Academician Zhu is still very concerned about this case, let's pretend...let's talk for a while."

Ling Ran had no choice but to say "oh", watching the chatter of several doctors flourish.

"Let's talk about the prognosis."

"The patient's postoperative recovery will go back to the country for diagnosis and treatment."

"How many days will you stay in the country?"

"A week at most."

"Then fix it with plaster and the like."

Ling Ran was originally drooping his eyebrows like an ascetic monk, but when he heard this, he suddenly pricked up his ears.

When the patient leaves the country, the hospital bed becomes vacant.

It is equivalent to saying that such a patient does not occupy the hospital bed for a long time at all.

In Ling Ran's mind, such a patient is obviously a five-star patient!

As the first patient sent by South Africa's Sanlam Insurance Company, Diamond was already a five-star in the Bone, Joint and Sports Medicine Center, but in Ling Ran's case, he had just been promoted to a five-star.

"Will there be publicity after this patient is done?" Ling Ran interrupted the discussion of several people.

Ji Tianlu said "En", and asked, "What do you think?"

"Liu Weichen postponed the competition until next week, does this news help?" Ling Ran sorted out the information he knew, looking very serious.

Ji Tianlu was more serious than Ling Ran, and sat upright and said, "If he doesn't have any problems, he will be helpful... Will there be any problems?"

"Next week, there shouldn't be any problems." Ling Ran thought about it carefully. With the recovery ability of athletes, it might change a lot in a week.

"Great, Ling Ran, you must stay for a while longer." Ji Tianlu slapped his leg and said, "When Liu Weichen finishes running, our publicity situation will be very different, and there will definitely be a lot of people at that time." People come to see a doctor."

To Ling Ran, seeing a large number of patients is nothing new.

There is no shortage of patients in the large tertiary hospitals in China.

Ling Ran looked at Ji Tianlu, and asked with some disappointment: "Is Liu Weichen unable to attract foreign patients?"

Ji Tianlu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Whether we can attract them or not, there will be many patients in China. Moreover, we can target at the level of athletes, and it will soon expand."

The anesthesiologist who came to the consultation said enviously: "The income will not be less than that of treating foreign patients."

"Slowly, foreign patients will also increase." Ji Tianlu guessed Ling Ran's thoughts, and said: "Many athletes from other places operate in the same way as foreign patients. They all have their own sports doctors and team doctors. Such configurations, it is normal to go back to do rehabilitation by yourself after surgery in our hospital.”

Ling Ran nodded slowly while listening, and said with a smile, "I'll call Liu Weichen later, and help him watch the film to make sure of the injury."

"Liu Weichen will be very happy." Ji Tianlu twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and asked again: "Then the South African athlete we are consulting with...Diamond's operation plan..."

"Just do it normally." Ling Ran said without any burden: "There is nothing special at all."

Ji Tianlu nodded, watching Ling Ran leave, feeling inexplicably relieved.
