Chapter 17: Saving People in the Dead of Night
It was already late at night, and Zhao Hongbing sat behind the car and closed his eyes to rest.
When the Mercedes was about to drive to the Hilton Hotel, the big country suddenly slowed down. Zhao Hongbing opened his eyes and asked what was going on.
The big country said: "There is a foreigner in front of him who is stopping the car, Brother Bing, don't stop?" ”
Zhao Hongbing looked out the window, and at the bend in front of him, a young foreign woman with blond hair and blue eyes was waving vigorously, looking eager, not knowing what had happened.
"Stop! Let's go down and have a look. ”
Zhao Hongbing has always believed in the principle of being kind to others, he can't touch it, forget it, if he encounters others in trouble, then if he can help, he must help.
The two got out of the car, and the foreign woman had already run over, gesturing with her two hands, and muttering without knowing what to say.
Zhao Hongbing said patiently: "Don't worry, do you know English?" He said this sentence in English, when Zhao Hongbing was doing business in Guangzhou in his previous life, he had done foreign trade business for seven or eight years, and he could still be called through general communication.
The foreign woman's face was overjoyed, and she changed to English and said, "Sir, please save my husband." ”
Zhao Hongbing was very excited when he saw her, and reassured: "Don't worry, we will help you, please tell me about the specific situation, what can I do to help you?" ”
The woman pulled Zhao Hongbing and ran around the corner, saying, "My husband has fainted, please save him......
Turning the corner, there were a few passers-by in front, the foreign woman and Zhao Hongbing pushed aside the crowd, only to see a middle-aged foreign man, leaning on a cement telephone pole, sitting on the ground, pressing his hand on his abdomen, vomiting, looking painful, next to a very cute little girl, even with a row to the crowd of onlookers and eagerly shouted: "hospital, hospital? )”
None of the onlookers understood English, and they all shook their heads when they didn't understand what she was saying. The little girl cried helplessly, holding the man who might have been her father: "Oh God, Save him!" )”
The foreign woman grabbed Zhao Hongbing, as if she had met a savior, and pointed to the vomiting foreign man and said, "He was seriously ill, but we couldn't find the hospital." )”
Zhao Hongbing hurriedly asked the people around him: "Does anyone know that there is a hospital nearby?" ”
A master said: "There is a people's hospital on Songshan Road in front!" Zhao Hongbing thanked him, and quickly put the foreign man's arm on his shoulder and helped him up.
This foreign man is half a head taller than Zhao Hongbing, with an obese body and a heavy body. The foreign woman and the little girl picked up the luggage around them and helped Zhao Hongbing support him. Zhao Hongbing said to the big country: "Go and drive the car over"
The big country hurriedly went to drive, waited for the car to come, and then carried the foreign man into the car with Zhao Hongbing and closed the door. Zhao Hongbing sat in the front of the car, and the foreign woman and the little girl took care of the patient in the back.
The car drove to Songshan Road in ten minutes, and saw the eye-catching sign of the hospital from afar, and drove into the gate of the hospital.
The emergency room turned out to be on the third floor, and there was no elevator, Zhao Hongbing gritted his teeth, carried the foreign man behind him, and ran to it, and was already sweating profusely when he climbed to the third floor.
Helped the foreign man to the emergency room and lay down. The doctor, an old doctor, pressed his abdomen and said, "It hurts." Zhao Hongbing hurriedly translated: "Say yes when you aches." )”
The doctor pressed to the lower right of his abdomen, and the foreign man cried out, "Yes, yes!" )”
The doctor asked, "Do you feel nauseous or vomiting?" ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "Have you felt nausea or vomiting? )”
The foreign man said, "Yes, yes!" )”
The doctor asked, "How long has it been?" Translator Zhao Hongbing asked, "How long does this symptom last?" The foreign woman looked at her watch and said, "Thirty-five minutes." Zhao Hongbing said to the doctor, "Thirty-five minutes." ”
The doctor said, "It may be acute appendicitis, let's do a B ultrasound!" ”
Zhao Hongbing said to them: "The doctor said that it may be acute appendicitis, and it is necessary to do a B ultrasound diagnosis!" ”
The doctor said, "Let's go register first!" By the way, I also paid the B-ultrasound fee. After speaking, he sat down to write the outpatient list and asked Zhao Hongbing what his name was, and Zhao Hongbing said, "His name?" The woman said, "His name is John." ”
The doctor couldn't write, so Zhao Hongbing took the clinic sheet and pen, handed it to the woman, pointed to the name and said, "Write his name here." The woman wrote her name, and the doctor said, "Ask him how old he is." Zhao Hongbing said, "age? The woman said, "Forty-six." Zhao Hongbing said: "Forty-six years old." ”
The doctor said to Zhao Hongbing: "You'd better translate his name into Chinese, otherwise it will be very troublesome to charge and go through the hospitalization procedures." Zhao Hongbing translated to the woman: "His name must be translated into Chinese, otherwise it will be very troublesome to go through the procedures." ”
The woman spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know. Just depend on you. According to the pronunciation of (John), Zhao Hongbing wrote the word "John" in Chinese after the English name of the outpatient list.
The doctor took it and looked at it, smiled and said, "It's much simpler." The doctor prescribed a few slips and handed them to Zhao Hongbing.
Zhao Hongbing said to the foreign woman: "You come with me." ”
The foreign woman followed Zhao Hongbing out of the emergency room and asked him, "What is the name of Mr.?" ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "My name is Zhao Hongbing, call me Zhao Hao." ”
The woman asked, "Zhao?" (Zhao?) Zhao Hongbing said, "Yes, what about your name?" ”
The foreign woman smiled, and she was a little charming: "My name is Britney." ”
The two came to the toll booth, which was marked in English and Chinese, and Britney took out a credit card and handed it to the registration toll collector. The toll collector said, "We don't use foreign bank cards here"
Zhao Hongbing said truthfully to Britney, and Britney said anxiously: "We just came to Haicheng from Tokyo, Japan, and we haven't exchanged Chinese currency yet." That's all I have in my hand, what should I do? As he spoke, he pulled out a few dollar change bills from his pocket, about a few dozen dollars.
Zhao Hongbing hesitated for a moment, thinking: This good thing can only be done to the end. He said to Britney, "Don't worry, I'll help you pay first." ”
Britney said, "Zhao, thank you so much! ”
After Zhao Hongbing finished registering, he went to another window to pay for B-ultrasound. He went back to the emergency room with Britney and handed over the registration form and medical records to the doctor, and the doctor said, "You guys should take him to the ultrasound first!" ”
Britney and the little girl wanted to help John up, but their strength was too small to do anything at all, Zhao Hongbing asked the big country to carry John and follow the sign to the B ultrasound room on the third floor of the west, and a nurse came to help, helped John lie on the hospital bed, and asked Zhao Hongbing and others to wait outside.
Zhao Hongbing asked Britney, "Where are you from?" ”
Britney said: "We are French, John is my husband, and this is Jenny, my husband's daughter. ”
Looking at Britney's age, she is probably in her twenties, and there shouldn't be a child as old as Jenny, and then I heard her say that Jenny is her husband's daughter, and she didn't say her own child, maybe there are some twists and turns in this. Zhao Hongbing is not good at asking more, Westerners don't like others to ask about personal things, unless he is willing to tell you, this common sense Zhao Hongbing knows.
Britney said, "We came from Tokyo and wanted to do a business trip in Shanghai. When he ate in the evening, he was very normal, saying that Chinese food was delicious, but he suddenly got sick, nausea and vomiting, and was caught off guard. ”
Zhao Hongbing comforted her and said: "Appendicitis is a minor disease, and it won't matter. ”
Britney said, "Thank God! I'm glad I met you, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened. Zhao, you are an angel, you must have been sent by God! ”
The little girl Jenny blinked her big green eyes and looked at Zhao Hongbing, not knowing what she was thinking.
After doing B ultrasound after a while, the B ultrasound sheet said appendicitis or something, the handwriting was sloppy, and Zhao Hongbing couldn't read it. Still in pain, John snorted against his abdomen. Zhao Hongbing lamented that the medical services in this era were too backward, and there was not even a cart in a hospital as big as Haicheng, and the painful patients were allowed to climb up and down. Chinese are commonplace, but it is just that the international influence of this foreigner is not good.
Seeing John's painful appearance, he really couldn't move, Zhao Hongbing couldn't, so he had to carry the patient again, and the big country said Brother Bing, I'll carry it, Zhao Hongbing asked him to take a break, and he would have to drive later.
Zhao Hongbing and Britney helped John back to the emergency room and found the doctor. After reading the B-ultrasound sheet, the doctor said: "It is acute appendicitis, which is more serious, and must be operated on immediately and hospitalized." ”
Zhao Hongbing translated it to John and Britney, and both of them looked very anxious. Britney and John muttered for a while, but it wasn't English, it was probably French.
After a while, Britney said, "Mr. Zhao, we implore you for help!" We weren't used to carrying a lot of cash, and we couldn't use credit cards here, so we couldn't do it right away. You help us and we pay you. ”
Seeing that the two foreigners were very anxious, the doctor said, "Appendicitis is a minor operation, and it will be fine after it is done." ”
Zhao Hongbing asked the doctor: "Doctor, how much is the cost of this operation and hospitalization?" The doctor said, "The senior ward is only a few hundred dollars larger, and you can pay a thousand yuan." Let's do surgery first, it will be troublesome if you have a piercing after a long time. ”
Zhao Hongbing secretly thought: Forget it, good people will do it to the end, and send the Buddha to the west! This money is nothing to themselves, even if they don't pay it back, it can be regarded as a good deed.
Zhao Hongbing said: "Don't worry, I will arrange everything for you." Britney and John laughed. Zhao Hongbing thought to himself, they could still laugh!
The doctor issued the order, and Zhao Hongbing quickly completed the procedures. Only then did the nurse push a patient bed cart. John lay on it, and the crowd pushed him to the back of the inpatient operating room. After John entered the operating room, Britney was anxious and kept holding Zhao Hongbing's hand. Zhao Hongbing comforted her and said that the People's Hospital in Haicheng is very advanced in China, and the doctors are highly skilled, so there is no need to worry. The little girl, Jenny, was not very talkative, but she had been praying with her hands folded, probably hoping that God would bless her father.
After about an hour, John was pushed out by the nurse with a hanging bottle on the bed cart. When John saw Britney and Jenny, he smiled and reached out to make an OK gesture, and his expression became natural. I came to the office of the inpatient department and went through the admission procedures with the slip. Separate room, clean and tidy. After Zhao Hongbing helped two nurses help John lie down on the bed, the nurse said to Zhao Hongbing: "The patient's physique is very good, the appendix has been removed, and he will be fine after a few days of anti-inflammatory injections." It's best to eat liquid food for the first two days. ”
Zhao Hongbing told John and Britney what he said, and they looked very calm. Zhao Hongbing looked at the time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and he hurriedly said to Britney and John: "I am a businessman in Shenzhen, I have come to Haicheng to handle business, and I have an important meeting tomorrow, so I don't have time to accompany you anymore." ”
Britney and John were surprised to hear him say this, John took Zhao Hongbing's hand, not knowing what to say, or Britney said, "How do we pay for your medical expenses and your payment?" ”
Zhao Hongbing took out a business card, handed it to Britney and said, "If it's convenient for you, send it to me." "The business card is in both Chinese and English, so it's clear at a glance.
Britney said happily: "Mr. Zhao works in Shenzhen, which is great. When we return from Hong Kong, we will definitely look for you in Shenzhen! ”
Zhao Hongbing took Britney to the office of the inpatient department, found the duty director, explained the situation, and asked if a nurse who knew English could be arranged to take care of John. The director's English was not bad, and he exchanged a few words with Britney, and brought an English-speaking nurse to the ward, asking Britney and John to recuperate in peace.
Zhao Hongbing shook hands with John and said goodbye, and John said, "Zhao, thank you very much for your help!" If it weren't for you, my life might be in danger. ”
Zhao Hongbing hurriedly said: "You are just a minor illness, not so serious, rest assured to recuperate." ”
John exaggerated: "When it hurt just now, I thought I was going to die. ”
Several people laughed, Britney and Zhao Hongbing hugged and said goodbye to their cheeks, she said: "Zhao, you are a noble person, thank you very much!" ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "You can take care of John with peace of mind, we will see you in the deep market!" ”
Jenny didn't speak, holding Zhao Hongbing's hand, and couldn't give up, until Zhao Hongbing was about to leave, she said, "See you!" ”
Zhao Hongbing thought to himself that this foreigner was no different from Chinese, only the language was different, and he was grateful to the people who helped him.
Bidding farewell to John's family, Zhao Hongbing walked out of the hospital with an indescribable pleasure in his heart. It turns out that doing good deeds can be so pleasant!
