Chapter 109: California Storm The fate of Anna's mother and daughter
After coming to the living room, Zhao Yili asked Jack to take a pen and paper, and on the paper, he wrote a few Chinese medicinal materials that needed to be used to regulate the patient's body before the formal treatment, including parsnip, nepeta, licorice, cicada clothes, angelica, rehmannia root, astragalus, red peony, cinnamon and other medicinal materials for curing wind evil, and instructed the maid to wrap the medicinal materials bought back with gauze, soak the feet in warm water at 50 °, once a day in the morning, noon and evening, and insist on doing it for three days, and Zhao Yili will carry out formal rehabilitation treatment for Nicole after three days.
Jack did so without hesitation, and seeing that the time was about the same, Zhao Yili and Li Wei left Jack's house and rushed to the federal hospital in Sacramento.
Sacramento is the capital of California, many Chinese people think that the capital of California should be Los Angeles or San Francisco and other larger cities, in fact, in many states in the United States, most of the capitals are not internationally well-known big cities, California, New York, Arizona, Illinois, Florida and so on, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, Manami and other internationally famous big cities are not the capital of the state. Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, is also only a political center, and there is really no industry and commerce, manufacturing and finance; Both New York and Los Angeles are larger than Washington, D.C., with more developed economies and larger populations.
When the United States was founded, it adopted many European advantages and learned the lessons of the overburdening of European capital cities. The United States divides the functions of the city. It is a practice to separate economic cities from political (administrative) cities as much as possible, to reduce the burden on all aspects of a city, and to reduce the city's ability to preserve its strength in times of transportation, population, food supply, water and electricity, and even war. Even if there is a war, not one or two large cities will be destroyed by the enemy, and the whole country will be paralyzed.
Not only most of the states in the United States have this urban division of labor, at the same time, the entire United States is also the division of labor, the political center of the United States is in Washington, D.C., New York is the world's largest financial and commercial center, the air cargo center is in Memphis (TE,), the air passenger center is in Atlanta, Chicago is the national rail and futures center, Boston is the academic center, San Francisco and nearby Silicon Valley are the science and technology research and development centers of the United States and the world. Los Angeles is the center of film entertainment in the United States and around the world...... The division of labor in the country's large cities can not only achieve balanced development in all localities, protect the ecological balance, and balance the development of citizens, but also effectively avoid the situation that a city is dominant and has too much burden.
Therefore, the idea that the capital must be the largest and most populous city in the province and the center of economy, renovation, culture, and transportation is very backward and unscientific.
Sacramento Federal Hospital is a public hospital in the capital of California, which is not very economically developed, with only more than 500 beds, because Li Wei's wife Anna's illness can only be regarded as a difficult disease, and it is not a serious illness, so it was placed in a quiet and sunny quiet convalescent ward on the third floor, Zhao Yili followed Li Wei to open the door and walked into the ward, a pastor just closed the Bible in his hand, slowly got up and gestured, and finally kissed the Bible and left the room, Li Wei nodded at the pastor, and the pastor nodded to Li Wei and Zhao Yili behind him in a friendly manner, and then left the room.
Li Wei then whispered to Zhao Yili: "This is the pastor of the nearby St. Anyi Church, every day, he has to find time to read a Bible to Anna, and now he is going to the next door to develop believers." Although he is not a believer, Li Wei does not interfere with the religious beliefs of his family in the slightest, which is a basic virtue in Western society.
Zhao Yili expressed his understanding, and then looked at Anna, who was very thoughtful and refreshing on the hospital bed.
Anna lay quietly and peacefully on the bed that shook the head of the bed slightly, her complexion was a little pale, but her breathing was still normal, and from the look, there was no big difference from a normal woman who was asleep. Although this room is a convalescent ward, it is equipped with first-aid equipment, living facilities, and even the bathroom is independent.
Economically, in the United States, there is no system of free basic medical care for all, as the Chinese people think, and this treatment should only be available in Russia, Germany, Sweden and other sparsely populated countries in Europe. This is also because this federal hospital is one of the few public hospitals in the city, and the beds are very tight, and Li Wei's family has to pay a lot of medical insurance money every year to be able to enjoy thoughtful medical services.
This situation is not much different from the treatment that the Chinese people receive. Therefore, although Li Wei has saved a lot over the years and made a lot of money, Anna's serious illness this time has still dragged down the family of five a lot, and the economy has been quite tense for a long time.
Ignoring Li Wei's rather strange gaze at him, he coughed lightly, Zhao Yili slowly stretched out his hand, ready to give Anna the first vein, at this time, the door of the ward was opened, a gust of wind blew, Shirley's face sank like water, and she ran forward angrily and grabbed Zhao Yili's wrist.
After grabbing his wrist, he directly turned around and put Zhao Yili's arm on his shoulder, seeing that it was a preparatory action for an over-the-shoulder fall, Zhao Yili pushed Shirley's back with his helpless left palm, which offset Shirley's explosive power, and as a result, Shirley struggled to throw Zhao Yili out, but no matter how hard she tried, she had to give up, turned around and raised her leg is a kick, and went straight to Zhao Yili's crotch.
Zhao Yili took a look, what is the situation? Is this girl crazy? Immediately, a sideways flash, and at the same time, he held the leg of Shirley who kicked over in his hand, at this time, Li Wei also reacted, and immediately stopped Shirley and said: "Sherly, stop it, the stone is treating your mother." ”
"Seeing a doctor? What kind of illness did he see? Is he still a doctor? Although Shirley was still suspicious in her heart, her hands and feet had slowly withdrawn her strength, and Zhao Yili pushed her hand down, withdrew her hand, touched her nose awkwardly, and then continued to sit on the chair in front of the hospital bed.
smiled and said to Shirley: "I am in Huaxia and have studied Chinese medicine for a while. ”
Shirley looked at Zhao Yili with a smile on her face suspiciously, blinked her eyes a few times, and then turned her head sideways to look at Li Wei, and then said hesitantly: "My father believes in Chinese medicine, but I don't believe it, but it doesn't hurt to let you take a look." ”
Zhao Yili sighed helplessly, the world's prejudice against Chinese medicine is always so profound, if Chinese medicine cannot cure diseases, then in the five thousand years of China, people eat grains, how can they not get sick? Are those sick people favored by the gods?
Judging from the current pulse, the pulse is stable, the pulse is strong, if only from the appearance, it is estimated that an old Chinese medicine doctor will be helpless, after all, the information reflected on the pulse is full of indicating that this is a healthy body, from this point of view, the problem of blood congestion in the brain, Chinese medicine actually can't see anything in the pulse, which requires the help of Western medicine instruments to carry out brain imaging.
Zhao Yili asked the nurse for a photo of the patient's brain, and Shirley on the side already believed in Zhao Yili at this time, after all, it is much more reliable to be able to make full use of the existing medical conditions than a doctor who only knows how to believe in himself.
There are two CT photos of the head in my hand, the first photo was taken when I was just admitted to the hospital, this photo shows that Anna's initial trauma was in the right forehead, and the blood clot at that time, from the ruptured capillary, seeped out and compressed the right brain tissue, which caused a part of Anna's body to be paralyzed, but later the bleeding stopped, but the blood clot continuously compressed the surrounding brain tissue, which led to a long-term deep coma.
The second photo was taken half a year ago when the head was re-examined, from this image, the pressure of the blood clot on the brain tissue, the depth has deepened a lot, looking at the progress, if no further treatment is carried out in the near future, I am afraid it will not take two years, Anna will never wake up again in this life, the best state is the current state, a middle-aged sleeping beauty, the limbs are still partially conscious, but can only sleep on the sickbed, be a vegetative person for a lifetime.
Zhao Yili and Li Wei said a few words, and the latter immediately got up and walked out.
