Every time the sun rises, it has to brutally reconfirm the limb that no longer exists.

People learn to adapt, learn to be strong, and learn to move on with life.

Life always moves forward and never stops for anyone.

But patients b are different, they don't need those superfluous limbs for them, their hindrance is not in themselves, what is it that prevents them from being physically and mentally whole?

At nine o'clock the next morning, while having breakfast in the hotel restaurant with Dr. Brown, Zhang Wenwen decided to ask Dr. Brown if he could ask the patient a few questions, because he also had a patient who was deeply troubled by B and had been tormented for many years.

Dr. Brown thought about half an Americano before finally nodding reluctantly, "I believe Professor Lewis's recommendation, and in fact, Patient B is stronger than we thought, many of them excel in different fields of work, surgeons, actors, engineers, architects. They are all very good people, with a stronger will and endurance than ordinary people. ”

"It's also the kind of people who can pay the high cost of surgery, if there is no medical insurance, the cost of surgery is not acceptable to ordinary people, and there is a long recovery period after amputation, which not only requires money, but also needs to be taken care of by specialized medical staff, and the recovery period is even longer."

Dr. Brown took a piece of chocolate muffin and put it in his mouth, "There is no way, but you must know that the network established by Professor Lewis, the cost of surgical treatment has not changed much, and it is also so that more people can have a full life." ”

"Has anyone ever regretted it?" Zhang Wenwen finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

Dr. Brown's eyes were gentle and contented, "The first patient to be treated twenty years ago, Professor Lewis, is now sixty-five years old, lives a full day, and is still looking for more possible help for patient B, he was a pilot before the surgery, and after the amputation, he moved to the office to work, and he has been working until now. ”

"What about his family? Did the family also accept what he looked like? Isn't the burden of living on the family much higher than before? ”

"It may seem like this, but many patients B have been imagining themselves as disabled since a very early age, and they have imagined and practiced their life after amputation countless times before the surgery, how to take a bath, how to adjust the seat inside the car, how to hold the wheelchair easily, how to go up and down the stairs, and even how to carry a child and wife.

By the way, the incidence is higher in men than in women, and Professor Lewis's research suggests that perhaps men are more persistent in their pursuit of freedom and self than women, and women may be more likely to change the urge to have their limbs amputated as bad or sinful.

Isn't there a lot of research that confirms that women are more modest and sacrificial in social life, while men are more likely to put their ideas into planning and putting them into practice. ”

Zhang Wenwen couldn't understand how a normal person would get used to and practice life after disability, but when he thought of Gu Yiping's appearance in a wheelchair, he seemed to be very comfortable, and he didn't want to stand up at all.

"As for the pressure on the family." "We've seen divorces, we've seen wives rejoicing at their husbands' bravery, all of them. In recent years, some mental health foundations have been set up in many developed countries to improve people's happiness, the more famous ones are the Obsessive-Compulsive and Anxiety Disorders Foundation, the Anti-Depression Foundation, and various public welfare groups, such as alcohol support groups, cancer groups, etc., these unofficial organizations I don't know if you have heard of? ”

"Non-public funds, there are some in our side now, there should soon be public welfare organizations concerned about mental health one after another, after finishing the work here, I will rush back to participate in the annual meeting of mental health, I believe that including the suicide intervention system, the prevention system of interpersonal networks will gradually improve."

"You are very strong, and you may soon surpass the North American and European sides, whether it is academia or civil society, I believe it will be very good. But "

Dr. Brown was halfway through his speech when he suddenly looked depressed and complicated, his brow furrowed, and he sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenwen asked patiently.

"It is impossible for B to raise funds in a righteous and open manner, because this kind of surgery is not legal."

"So, people who don't have enough money can never get what they think is a complete body?" Zhang Wenwen asked.

"That's true, but there are also many patients who, after being treated, raise some money on a regular basis. So patient B still has a small fund pool, and in recent years, there have been funds that cannot be found to be remitted into our account, I have been investigating these sources of funds for a while, but I can't find them, I guess it should be a network master or a mysterious person to us, I can't thank you. ”

With that, Dr. Brown stood up and said, "Let's go."

He looks like a believer rushing to church for a service.

Jiang Feng seemed to know that the two had arrived at the door, and the door of the hotel room opened gently in front of Zhang Wenwen and Dr. Brown.

"Very punctual." Jiang Feng said.

"You've emphasized in your previous communication that you're very demanding on time."

Dr. Brown replied.

"But I just came to see the doctor, and I didn't think you needed so much extra care, so I don't even remember stressing that."

"Although it is a treatment, I personally care more about the patient's feelings, and within the reasonable range that can be accepted, I hope that both of us will feel smooth during this time, without any obstacles. We're going to go through a series of tests, including a new MRI, and if you think it's okay, we're going now. ”

"Is this one with us, too?"

Jiang Feng looked at Zhang Wenwen and frowned, because all he knew all along, there was only one middleman in the middle.

"This is Dr. Zhang, a student of Professor Lewis, and Professor Lewis has reached the age of retirement and can no longer continue to serve this work, so Dr. Zhang appeared here in place of Professor Lewis, without telling you in advance, because I also just found out about it."

Jiang Feng immediately nodded, apologizing for the impoliteness he might have caused Zhang Wenwen.

Zhang Wenwen smiled at Jiang Feng and said in Chinese, "Hello." ”
