Chapter 226: I Refuse
As one of the world's foremost neurosurgeons, Dr. Steve Strange has always been busy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Various scheduled surgeries are scheduled. Many people have traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to come to him from the other side of the world, hoping that he will become their chief surgeon.
Because he has performed surgeries one after another that other doctors thought were impossible.
Again and again, all kinds of patients have been pulled back from the precipice of life.
This earned him high honors. And money. And, of course, the adoration of those who are sick.
"Don't rush Sir Barlow, I've seen your case. It's not as serious as your doctor in the UK said. "In Strange's bright and spacious office.
He was seeing a patient from the UK. An old European aristocrat, Barlow, with the title of knight.
In England, Barlow was judged by his attending physician to be incurable. Because the nerves in his brain were compressed by a lump of blood clots.
And the lump can rupture at any time. Once it breaks, it is a dead end. Surgery is also extremely risky, with a success rate of less than 20%.
Doctors in Britain did not dare to operate on it. So Sir Barlow was introduced by a friend to the United States, risking a possible rupture of a lump on the way.
But it seems that this time Sir Barlow's adventure has succeeded. The personable Strange is very good at getting people's affection.
Especially his very confident appearance, which makes people feel full of confidence. Of course, the success rate of his never miss is also his confidence.
Sir Barlow reassured, "Then you're done, Dr. Strange." So about my surgery......"
Before Sir Barlow could finish his sentence, the door of Strange's company was rudely pushed open.
A tall and strong, fat man, who looked sharp and aggressive, strode in.
"Strange! I'm going to talk to you!"
Thor, Strange naturally knew him. Because of Christine. Even Strange used his rights in the hospital to transfer Thor directly to work at the Southern Cross Welfare Home.
Strange thought that Thor had come to him for this kind of thing.
Strange smiled apologetically at Barlow, "I'm sorry Sir." ”
Strange's assistant came in through the door, and he said to Strange in great trepidation, "Doctor, I want to stop him." But he couldn't stop it, his strength was too great. ”
The assistant glanced at Thor with some fear. After all, a height of 1.95 meters and a weight of 130 kilograms are too oppressive.
Facing this kind of person in life is like seeing a mountain. Strange's assistant is just an ordinary person who is 1.77 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.
He didn't have the courage to stop a mountain from advancing. Especially when the mountain still looks like an active volcano.
Strange frowned at Thor as he waved at his assistant, motioning for him to go out first.
Strange walked up to Thor and whispered, "Whatever you want to say to me, but I have a patient here now! If you don't get me out, I'll call the security guards to kick you out!"
Strange thinks Thor is going to get angry and argue with him, and then he calls for the security guards to come in and kick him out. After that, you can just fire him.
But unexpectedly, Thor nodded apologetically when he saw Sir Barlow coming to see him. Then he turned to Strange and said, "I'm sorry, doctor. It's just a bit of a rush. I hope you can take a look at this case and I can talk to you later when you're done dealing with this for the patient. ”
With that, Thor handed over the case about Penny to Strange. And then he just withdrew.
This was much more than Strange had expected. If it had been, Thor would have had a big fight with him as Strange had expected.
But now Thor has grown beyond all expectations. Because the work of the hospital and the work of the welfare home made him understand that fists cannot solve all problems.
This is something that Thor, the god of thunder, never understood. Thor, the god of thunder, has always used an axe and a warhammer to solve all problems.
But during the period when he lost his divine powers, Thor began to try to solve problems in a mortal way, and began to think with a mortal mind.
When Thor strode into Strange's office, Li Jie didn't stop him. Because he wanted to see what Thor would do with this kind of thing.
At the same time, he stopped Christine.
"We're not going to stop him? He doesn't look good. If a conflict breaks out with Strange, it will be troublesome. Christine didn't understand why Li Jie stopped her.
"Thor is different now, don't worry about him. As soon as he said this, he saw Thor exit Strange's office and sit down on a bench next to the hallway.
Waiting for Strange to meet with patients for the day was a painful affair. Because Dr. Strange's appointments are full every day.
As soon as Sir Barlow came out, the next patient would come in. But Thor stayed outside the door.
Christine was also with Thor to transfer to his side. Because the waiting time was too long, Li Jie also went to the convenience store of the hospital to buy drinks and bread to deal with a meal.
The three of them waited outside for four hours. It wasn't until the last patient had left that Thor pushed open the door and walked inside.
When he saw Thor come in, Strange rubbed his eyes. He thought he had gotten rid of this stupid big man.
When Thor came in, he went straight to the point and said, "Dr. Strange, do you have time to talk about it now? Have you seen the case I gave you, what do you think?"
This stupid big guy is really a bit difficult, Strange is helpless.
At first, he thought that Thor was trying to get him in trouble with his own transfer to the nurse. As a result, I didn't expect Thor to actually hand himself a medical case.
Out of the most basic professional ethics of a doctor, Strange still carefully looked at the case.
Although Strange chooses patients, he never perfunctory cases. It is one thing whether the patient can be treated or not, and it is another thing whether or not to take the case seriously.
He had seen Penny's case, including various CT studies. Judging by his personal level of medicine, this is a very complex and difficult patient.
"Thor, who is this girl named Penny?" Strange asked, gesturing to the case on the table.
"The children I take care of in the welfare home. Thor replied truthfully.
"The child in the orphanage? That is, there are no parents, no one to pay for her medical expenses. Do you know what this kid's illness is, how much does it cost?" Strange looked at Thor with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I don't think it's possible for an orphan to afford the surgery. ”
"I'll pay for it. Thor said categorically.
Strange was amused by Thor's words, and he looked Thor up and down. Thor in a blue nurse suit doesn't look like a man who can come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Do you know how much it costs? more than half a million! What do you pay for?" said Strange in a calm statement.
What he said was just an objective fact, and it was a lot of money. He didn't think Thor could afford it, as a nurse.
"Don't worry about Dr. Strange when it comes to money. Pushing open the door and walking in, it was Li Jie.
He walked in step by step, his feet making a sound on the floor. It wasn't until I walked up to the high-end carpet in the center of the office that there was no such footsteps.
"I can still give up 500,000 or 1 million dollars. Thor wants to save the girl, money is not an issue. I could take it out, even a little more. ”
Strange also knows Jack Lee, a senior advisor to the Osborne Group. Never showed up in the foreground, but from the gossip of the Osborne group he knew that the young man was pushing a lot of things.
He said that he took out the money, and Strange believed it.
Seeing that Strange didn't speak, Li Jie continued: "I just want to know, I can contribute, Dr. Strange, can you contribute." Standing in front of the operating table as the surgeon?"
At this time, Christine also walked in, and the eyes of the room were focused on Strange. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
He chose to turn his back and said in a calm voice, "I refuse. ”
