Chapter 55 Hospital
Last night, I contacted a hospital in advance, and Ye Dongqing wanted to take her to see it first.
Taking medical insurance can save a lot of expenses, but unfortunately, it is impossible to help with it in the short term. The insurance company will review the information of family members and it is easy to find his small tricks. If he asks for trouble, it will be more than worth the loss. The New York Children's Relief Association will not only take Zhao Liuli away, but he will also face jail.
Fortunately, I don’t care about the expenses of treating eyes. In the foreseeable future, the Danshui Fund’s income should be OK, and Facebook is also rushing to start it. The latter will probably be a gold sales cave in the early stages, and Internet companies will burn money in the early stages of entrepreneurship, and they will not be able to count on it for a while.
For Zhao Liuli, letting her reappear the light is the best gift. After learning that she could leave, Ye Dongqing led the girl out and said that there was a staircase and asked her to be careful.
She held her in the passenger seat and helped to fasten her seat belt. Seeing Zhao Liuli's body tense and not adapting, she softly comforted her voice and said: "You will live with me in the future. You can call me Leo, eat candied haws first, and eat sweet potatoes after they are heated."
Since childhood, she thought carefully, she asked Ye Dongqing and said, "But Ms. Clay just told me that you would help me find a family to adopt me?"
"Yes, you lived with me before that, we are going to the hospital now, and you will be able to see things again soon, and I will ask the best doctors in the United States to help you.
You know, Chinatown, my house is not far away, there are many tall buildings on both sides, and there is also a big copper bull on the street. The road name is Wall Street. Maybe you have been to it before?"
After recalling for a moment, the scene in my mind overlapped with the words, the girl smiled and said, "I know where, my aunt has taken me there. She sang very nicely, but she often did very bad things, cried and screamed."
"Forget her, no one can bully you in the future. I'll set out now. Be careful not to poke the mouth..."
The name of Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian Hospital in New York sounds like two hospitals, but it is actually one hospital with many subsidiaries. As one of the best comprehensive hospitals in the United States, medical services have always been quite guaranteed.
He took Zhao Liuli to the place and asked all kinds of messy questions during this period. The relationship was not so good that he had established a sense of trust. He had been deliberately avoiding sensitive questions, nothing more than what music he liked, whether he wanted to eat, etc.
As a large-scale child relief organization, the New York Children's Relief Association cannot cover everything. Seeing that the girl was wearing old clothes, it was probably the kind donated by someone's family. Ye Dongqing took her to buy many condoms until the one that was difficult to handle in her hand spent a total of more than 6,000 US dollars.
Miss Laura is willing to spend so much money, and she has no reason to treat Zhao Liuli badly. She has replaced it with new ones from the inside out, so she can continue on the road with satisfaction. After buying clothes, she still has a lot of things to buy, such as milk, dolls, breakfast cereals, etc., and has already made a list in her mind.
It is really a troublesome to see a doctor in the United States. Ye Dongqing asked Paul for help and made an appointment with the best ophthalmologist. While the old professor was a doctor, he also went to New York University Hospital to teach students part-time. The appointment letter was hung on the wall of his office. There were many medals and his strength was unquestionable.
I waited for more than an hour before I saw the doctor. I just blamed myself for not being strong enough, otherwise I would have to let the other party come to check. The best social resources are always concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. Similar situations are particularly obvious in the United States. Money is the first priority, but it is not just a saying...
After the middle-aged doctor named Mike helped the examination, he inserted the pen back into his chest pocket and said, "Eyes are burned by corneas. In this case, it does require a cornea change, but a more thorough examination must be done first. Let my assistant take you there.
I want to wait for a suitable cornea, which is much easier than the kidney, heart, and liver. I guess I can wait for at most half a year. I mean if she can restore her vision by changing the cornea, the examination results have not yet come out, and it is not certain now."
Official and non-governmental organizations in the United States spend a lot of time, money, and manpower every year to shape the atmosphere of organ donation, which makes the waiting rate for organ transplants as high as four to one.
In this number, many developing countries are hundreds to one, which means hundreds of people snatch an organ, and many patients can only wait to die slowly, wasting many available organs.
Patients undergoing transplant surgery in the United States must register in a national system. Once the donor appears, the computer system will find the best match and determine the transplant candidate based on the urgency of treatment needs.
The transplant sequence mainly depends on the degree of matching between the donor organs and the patient, such as blood type, body size, etc. In addition, it is necessary to consider the critical condition of the patient and the distance between the hospital where the donor organs are located and the hospital where the patient is located.
Even in the United States, hundreds of people die in a long wait every day. Some patients waited for seven or eight years, but did not wait for the right organs in the end. This led to many black markets specializing in selling human organs. The background was bloody and terrifying. It is hard to imagine how crazy the patients could do in order to keep themselves alive.
The number of corneas is relatively large. Last time, Ye Dongqing donated three million US dollars to an institution, successfully shortening the waiting time from about half a year to one week.
Is it unfair? It is true, but the institutions spent a lot of money during their operation. Perhaps because of his donation, a group of organ donors have been added, which saved more lives.
There was nothing I could do this time. Ye Dongqing couldn't afford that much money for the time being, so she had to wait slowly like others, asked some questions again, and then took Zhao Liuli to check after getting the answer.
"Sir, that is, I might see something?"
The emotions between people are quite wonderful. Some people are difficult to fall in love with even when they meet every day, while some people become good friends when they meet for the first time.
Ye Dongqing took good care of her, and the girl noticed it, so she had just met her not long ago, and her tone sounded much more relaxed.
"That's right. You heard what the doctor said just now. As long as you feel that it's okay after the examination, you can wait at most... a year, you will definitely see things like normal people. Then you can go to school and do what you like to do.
I believe you will definitely recover. After all, you don’t see things in the dark, but because of your eyes hurt, you can’t see them for the time being. It’s OK to treat them.”
It was indeed a great thing. Zhao Liuli smiled happily and nodded and said, "If this is the case, that would be great. My aunt once taught me to play the guitar and told me that as long as I play it well, I will at least not starve to death in the future, but I can't see the music score.
She also said that there was a gentleman named Beethoven who could become a music master if he couldn't hear the sound. Compared with that poor gentleman, I should be better."
"Indeed, it seems that your aunt is not too bad either. You go with this lady, I'll wait for you to come out outside..."
