Chapter 55: Hospitals

I contacted a hospital in advance last night, and Ye Dongqing wanted to take her to see it first.

Taking medical insurance can save an expense, but unfortunately I can't help in the short term, the insurance company will review the information of family members, and it is easy to find out his little scheme, if you ask for hardship, it will outweigh the losses, and the New York Children's Relief Association will not only take Zhao Liuli away, but he will also face prison.

Fortunately, I don't care about the cost of treating my eyes, and in the foreseeable future, the income of the freshwater fund should be okay, and Facebook is also in the process of starting it. The latter will most likely be a gold hole in the early stage, and Internet companies will burn money in the early days of their startups, and they can't count on it for a while.

For the current Zhao Liuli, it is the best gift to let her regain the light, knowing that she can leave, after saying thank you, Ye Dongqing led the girl out, and there are stairs will say in advance, let her be careful.

Holding her in the passenger seat, helping to fasten the seat belt, seeing that Zhao Liuli's body was tense and not very comfortable, he said in a soft voice: "You will live with me in the future, you can call me Leo, eat sugar gourd first, and eat the sweet potatoes after they are heated." ”

Careful and delicate, she asked Ye Dongqing, "But Ms. Clay just told me that you will help me find a family to adopt me?"

"Yes, you lived with me until then, we're going to the hospital now, and soon you'll be able to see again, and I'll have the best doctors in America to help you.

Chinatown knows, my house is not far from there, there are many high-rise buildings on both sides, and there is a big bronze bull on the street, the name of the road is Wall Street, maybe you have been there before?"

After a moment of recollection, the scenes in her mind overlapped with the words, and the girl smiled: "I know where it is, my aunt took me there, she sings very well, but often does very bad things, crying and screaming." ”

"Forget her, no one can bully you in the future, I'll go now, you be careful not to poke your mouth......"

Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian Hospital in New York may sound like two hospitals, but they are actually one hospital with many branches, and as one of the best general hospitals in the United States, medical services have always been guaranteed.

He rushed there with Zhao Liuli, during which he asked all kinds of messy questions, and the relationship was not good enough to establish a sense of trust, and he kept deliberately avoiding sensitive questions, nothing more than what music he liked, whether he wanted to eat, etc.

As a large-scale children's relief organization, it is impossible for the New York Children's Relief Association to be exhaustive, seeing that the girl was wearing old clothes, which were probably donated by someone's family, Ye Dongqing first took her to buy many sets, until the kind that was not easy to hold in her hand, and it cost more than 6,000 US dollars in total.

Miss Laura was willing to spend so much money, and there was no reason to treat Zhao Liuli badly, so she was replaced with a new one from the inside out, so she was satisfied and led her to continue on the road. After the clothes are purchased, there are still a lot of things to buy, such as milk, dolls, breakfast cereals, etc., and I have already made a list in my mind.

Seeing a doctor in the United States is really a troublesome matter, Ye Dongqing asked Paul to help, only to make an appointment with the best ophthalmologist, the old professor is a doctor, and he also goes to New York University Hospital part-time to teach students, and the letter of appointment is hung on the wall of his office, with a large number of medals, and his strength is undoubted.

Waiting for more than an hour to see a doctor, only blame the strength is not strong enough, or let the other party come to the door for examination, the best social resources are always concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, a similar situation is especially obvious in the United States, money first is not just talk......

After the middle-aged doctor named Mike helped with the examination, he inserted the pen back into his breast pocket and said, "Both eyes are corneal burns, and this situation does require a cornea replacement, but you must do a more thorough examination first, let my assistant take you there."

If you want to wait for the right cornea, it is much easier than the kidney, heart, and liver, and it is estimated that it will take up to half a year to wait, I mean if she can restore her vision by replacing the cornea, the results of the examination have not yet come out, and now I am not sure. ”

U.S. government and non-governmental organizations spend a lot of time, money, and manpower every year to shape the atmosphere of organ donation, which makes the ratio of organ transplant waiting rates as high as four to one.

In this number, many developing countries are as high as hundreds to one, which means that hundreds of people snatch an organ, and many patients can only wait for death, wasting many usable organs.

Patients who receive transplants in the U.S. must be registered within a national system, and once a donor is available, a computer system looks for the best match and decides on a transplant candidate based on the urgency of the need for treatment.

The order of transplantation mainly depends on the degree of compatibility between the donor and the patient, such as blood type, body size, etc., in addition to the criticality of the patient's condition and the distance between the donor's hospital and the patient's hospital.

Even in the United States, hundreds of people die every day in long waits, and some patients wait for seven or eight years and finally do not wait for the right organ, which makes it difficult to imagine how crazy the patients can do in order to continue to live.

The number of corneas is relatively large, and last time, Ye Dongqing donated 3 million US dollars to an institution, which successfully shortened the waiting time from about half a year to one week.

Is it unfair? Yes, but the institutions spent a lot of money during their operation, and maybe because of his donation, they added a group of organ donors, and then saved more lives.

This time there was no way, Ye Dongqing couldn't take out so much money for the time being, so he had to wait slowly like others, asked some doubts, and led Zhao Liuli to check after getting the answer.

"Sir, that is, I might still see things?"

The relationship between people is very strange, some people find it difficult to like even if they see each other every day, and some people become good friends after the first meeting.

Ye Dongqing really took care of her, and the girl noticed it, so she didn't know her for long, and her tone sounded a lot more relaxed.

"That's right, you heard what the doctor said just now, as long as you feel that there is no problem after the examination, at most you will wait...... In a year, you will definitely be able to see things like normal people, and when the time comes, you can go to school and do what you like.

I'm sure you'll definitely recover, after all, it's not dark when you see things, it's just that you can't see for the time being because of an eye injury, and it's OK to treat it. ”

It is indeed a good thing, Zhao Liuli smiled happily, nodded and said: "It would be great if this is the case, my aunt once taught me to play the guitar and told me that as long as I play it well, at least I will not starve to death in the future, but I can't see the score."

She also said that there was a gentleman named Beethoven who could become a master musician without hearing a voice, and that I should be better off than that poor gentleman. ”

"Indeed, it seems that your aunt is not too bad, you go with this lady, I will wait for you to come out outside......"
