Half a month later, the old professor introduced Dr. Brown to Zhang Wenwen. Dr. Brown is a very calm doctor, brown skin, slightly short in stature, especially when standing with Zhang Wenwen, he looks more like a malnourished doctor.

Dr. Brown told Zhang that he did not participate in the surgery of BIID patients, but that he was only an intermediary, responsible for confirming the information of the patients, investigating the patients' medical history, collecting money and avoiding legal risks as much as possible.

Dr. Brown spoke English with a strange accent, Zhang Wenwen couldn't tell what his accent was, but Brown smiled and explained to himself, "I was brought up by a Filipino, my grandfather is French, my grandmother is Portuguese, and my mother is from South Asia, so my English pronunciation is very rich, and the world is as bright and varied as I see through a kaleidoscope." ”

He is really a doctor who is very good at entertaining himself, and Zhang Wenwen likes Dr. Brown's personality.

Such a person is indeed very suitable to be an intermediary, he seems so international, and there is no prejudice at all to stand up to him.

Brown told Zhang Wenwen that the surgical evaluation of BIID patients is very difficult, and many patients still delay or cancel the surgery for various reasons after they find me through various channels.

Zhang Wenwen said very understandingly: "After all, it is to destroy the limbs that have completed normal development, and this process is not to assemble toys, you can disassemble and assemble, install and disassemble, if a person saws off his leg, he will never be able to grow a second leg." ”

"It's not for this reason, most patients have hurt themselves many times before they find me, and you may not know how painless people can be when they want to accomplish something."

Zhang Wenwen really didn't know, because he himself was very afraid of pain.

"Some people cancel the surgery because of their families, persuaded by their wives or husbands, out of responsibility, but 80% of these patients come back a few months or a year later to reapply for surgery, some eventually divorce, and some have partners who are willing to fulfill the integrity of their lives.

According to Professor Lewis's research, he believes that children may not have a very clear understanding of their own decisions, and they are more likely to be impulsive, so for minors, they must be particularly cautious in the process of diagnosing BIID, and secondly, the operation will generally be postponed until they are 25 years old, and at that time, if they still want to have surgery, I will try to give priority to it. ”

"I've heard that there are other ways to change this condition, I don't know if you know." Zhang Wenwen remembered what Mu Chun said, you can try [aversion therapy] to help patients feel and experience how annoying it is to lose their legs, so as to alleviate and change their insistence on removing their lower limbs.

Brown shook his head, saying that he was only in charge of contacting patients for surgery, and Brown lowered his voice to tell Zhang Wenwen that such operations were always on the edge of the law.

No doctor would perform this type of surgery in a big hospital, and they do things that are not allowed under the law in some areas.

Zhang Wenwen also understood that although the two parties had signed an agreement, and the patient clearly said that it was out of his own will, this kind of surgery was not allowed in the hospital anyway.

This is the case in North America, and the same must be true on the Zhinan side of the subordination, because hospital surgery is disease-centered after all, although it is now advocated to be patient-centered and person-centered, but after all, there is no way to simply say that the operation of amputation is human-centered.

So, the doctor chosen by the intermediary is in Thailand.

Zhang Wenwen has not yet seen the doctor, but he will see the patient this time soon.

This is also the reason why he couldn't rush back to the Great Beauty of Mu Chun at Garden Bridge Hospital before Christmas.

Jiang Feng, who goes by the pseudonym Tao Qian, waved lightly at Dr. Brown.

Dr. Brown pushes his wheelchair straight to the parking lot, where Suvarnabhumi Airport is a 40-minute drive to downtown Bangkok, and even though it's past 12 a.m., the city near the equator is still bustling with people of all ages and colors enjoying the colorful life of the tropics.

Girls wore bright long skirts, short skirts and off-the-shoulder tops, while men wore a variety of short-sleeved and slippers, and the crowded night markets were filled with the aroma of mango, coconut and sweet watermelon.

Dr. Brown asked if he needed to go to the hotel to rest first, Jiang Feng shook his head, "Let's do the test first, I have been resting on the plane for four hours, and I don't need to take extra rest." ”

I don't know why what Jiang Feng said sounded particularly convincing, not like the calm and serious that he would have at his age.

Dr. Brown thought about it for a while, but decided to sleep for a while before giving Jiang Feng a preoperative evaluation.

"Mr. Tao Qian, after all, the previous assessment was completed through the Internet, and we have received your advance payment, but I personally still hope to explain to you in detail the whole process of the operation in the face-to-face process, including the time, surgical method and postoperative rehabilitation process, which need to be fully understood by you and then re-sign the written agreement, so from the doctor's position, I still hope that you will have a good rest first, we are not in a hurry, until the end of this year, I only have you as a patient, I hope there are no problems along the way, and you won't regret your decision in the future, is that okay? ”

Jiang Feng nodded, considering the incalculable factor of the delay of the plane, Jiang Feng did leave a full eight hours of free time for the first night after arriving in Bangkok, and these eight hours are now just right for sleeping.

Zhang Wenwen had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Jiang Feng, but he knew that he shouldn't say anything, first of all, it was the first time he had contact with Brown's work, and in addition, the unusually calm attitude of this patient named Tao Qian made Zhang Wenwen feel a little chill in his back.

December in Bangkok, drenched in cold sweat, is really a bit unreasonable.

Zhang Wenwen lay on the bed in the hotel, thinking about whether Gu Yiping would be impatient and determined to cut off his two legs if he knew that a doctor could amputate him.

His wife would have stopped him in every way, and who would have thought that her husband would want to turn himself into a disabled person.

And how many people in the world who have lost part of their limbs for various reasons, when they are awake, asleep, and even in dreams, they experience that they still have that part of the lost limbs.

They're so real, they hurt, they itch, they never seem to leave.
