Chapter 128 Amazing Reversal
Cheng Shi nodded but didn't believe it. This was just what the other party said. There must be some hidden secret in this matter. He decided to ask the attending doctor!
Cheng Shi continued: "Well, who is the chief physician of this operation? I want to know the details from him?!"
The vice president nodded in agreement and said: "Our hospital has a total of three doctors of internal medicine, two French doctors of medicine!
Aaron’s attending doctor is Sean Long, an American doctor of internal medicine, and his surgery success rate is over 50%!”
Cheng Shi remembered the other party's name, and then the vice president arranged for a nurse to lead the two of them to Sean Long!
The three of them soon arrived at an operating room. Sean was undergoing surgery. Several Chinese family members were gathering outside and waiting anxiously!
Although Guangci Hospital is a hospital run by French Catholics, many Chinese people also receive medical treatment here!
At the beginning of the 20th century, when the Frenchman Yao Zongli was the bishop of the missionary diocese, he planned to establish a Western medicine hospital with surgery on Father Jin Road (now Ruijin 2nd Road) in Shanghai!
The French Church agreed to this suggestion and, with the support of the French Concession authorities, purchased an area of 160 acres to build the hospital.
On October 13, 1907, the hospital held its inauguration ceremony. Its Chinese name is Guangci Hospital, which means wide charity!
Guangci Hospital provides medical and surgical medical services to Chinese and Europeans, although it treats rich and poor alike!
But its wards are also divided into grades. The French, wealthy Chinese, and church people live in first-class and second-class wards!
The poor live in general wards. The hospital has a construction area of 7,386 square meters, has internal and external departments, and many nuns as staff.
When the hospital first started, it was not very attractive to Chinese patients. However, an incident that happened later played a great publicity role in attracting Chinese patients to Guangci Hospital for treatment.
At that time, at the construction site of the Xujiahui Catholic Church, a worker accidentally fell from the scaffolding and was seriously injured. His life was in danger.
After being rushed to Guangci Hospital, surgery was performed immediately and the injured was saved from death. This incident made Guangci Hospital famous.
During 1919, the hospital admitted about 5,000 inpatients per year, so Cheng Shi and the others had so much trouble searching for medical records!
When Cheng Shi saw that there was an operation going on here, he asked Deng Xin to take the information in his hand back to the patrol room and then come back!
Not long after Deng Xin returned from returning the files, the door to the operating room opened, and a foreign man wearing a white coat and rubber gloves walked out first!
All the family members immediately gathered around and said anxiously: "How is the operation?!"
The man said in broken Chinese: "The operation was successful. Now I need to go for observation for a few more days. If nothing happens, I can be transferred to the ward!"
The family members quickly thanked him and followed the nurse to see the patient. The man then went to the water pipe to clean the blood on his hands!
Cheng Shi got up and walked to the doctor and said in English: "Are you Mr. Sean?!"
Sean took off his gloves, turned around and stared at Cheng Shi in confusion, and said, "I'm Sean, who are you?!"
The nurse on the side said: "Dr. Sean, these two are detectives, and the vice-president has agreed for them to investigate here!"
Cheng Shi also smiled and said: "My name is Cheng Shi, and I am a friend of Aaron Schwartz. I am here today to investigate his affairs!"
Xiao En stared at Cheng Shi doubtfully, looked Cheng Shi up and down, and said, "You are his friend, how come I didn't know that?!"
Cheng Shi continued: "Dr. Sean knows Aaron Schwartz?!"
Sean was stunned for a moment and said with some regret: "He is my patient. How could I not know him? Unfortunately, I couldn't save him!"
Cheng Shi then comforted: "Doctors are not gods after all, and they cannot save everyone!"
Sean took off his mask at this time and said, "I don't know, what do you want to ask me?!"
Cheng Shi continued: "I don't know if Dr. Sean knows his brother Aaron Robert, and where does he live?!"
Sean was stunned for a moment and replied: "I do know the two brothers, but I don't know where he lives!"
Sean paused and then said: "I don't know, why are the two agents looking for Aaron's brother?!"
Cheng Shi said helplessly: "We dug up an unknown body, and it was confirmed that the body belongs to Aaron Schwartz!"
Sean stopped here and said in surprise: "How is this possible!"
Cheng Shi looked at the surprised Sean and knew that there was indeed a problem in this case. Cheng Shi's eyes were fixed on Sean!
Cheng Shi then spoke slowly: "Why was Doctor Xiao so surprised when he heard the news?!"
When Sean heard Cheng Shi's question, he reacted and said quickly: "How could his body be an unknown skeleton? He was buried in a graveyard. I saw him buried with my own eyes!"
Cheng Shi suddenly became confused when he heard this, and said in surprise: "What?!"
Sean then said: "You are mistaken, I personally watched him being buried, how could he become an unknown corpse?!"
Cheng Shi immediately realized that he was not sure that the body was that of Aaron!
But if it wasn’t Aaron’s body, then who was he?!
The old man should not lie to himself. The man wearing Aaron's clothes is most likely Aaron's brother Robert!
Cheng Shi thought of this and said quickly: "Well, maybe we made a mistake. Aaron was not rescued. Did your hospital pay his brother a lot of money?!"
Sean shook his head and said: "This is a normal operation. I did not make any mistakes during the operation. It was only complications after the operation that led to Aaron's death!"
However, we did not compensate him, but the insurance company paid a lot of money because of this, and they have already investigated it. It was indeed an accident!"
In 1805, China's first insurance company, Jingdang Security Insurance Co., Ltd. was established in the 13th Bank. After the Opium War, this industry was promoted to Shanghai, Tianjin and other places.
After the Opium War, insurance companies mostly located their headquarters in Shanghai and Hong Kong, but Guangzhou was the city with the most insurance branches, reaching 17.
Insurance money, was it possible that Robert was killed because of the huge insurance money? He wanted to figure this out before he could bury his body!
Sean continued: "By the way, I forgot to mention, they are twins, they look almost exactly the same!"
Cheng Shi was stunned after hearing this. The two were twins, and both of them had turned into bones. Now he couldn't tell them apart at all!
Cheng Shi's mind is racing now, but if what Dr. Sean said is true, the reason behind this must be very complicated?!
Was it Robert or Aaron who died in the operating room?!
Does this matter have anything to do with Albert?!
