But there was no particularly noticeable progress in Professor Lewis's treatment, and he had to go back to university work. The doctor was completely depressed and lost a full 10 pounds in a little more than a month. ”

"And then?" Zhang Wenwen's palms were slightly sweaty, so he put his hands on his lap and wiped his palms slightly with his pants.

Later, the shift came from the patient's phone calls and videos, and the doctor finally showed a smile and tears, the kind of tears that were saved. He finally understood that what he had done was the right, happy, and better thing for the man who had lost both legs under his scalpel.

Nothing saves this doctor more than feedback from a patient.

Two or three years later, he has become more and more aware of what this type of surgery means for those patients.

There's good news, and I think I should tell you explicit right now, that way, you may not have to go through the doubts and torments that we've been through.

All the feedback we've gotten about this surgery for more than 20 years has been so good that you'd even think that these patients are recovering just as well as the heroes of the Marvel universe.

For example, you'll find, wow, this guy is Wolverine, because he was already taking a video of himself on crutches on his phone the day after the amputation. Amazing adaptability and resilience, completely different from the average surgical patient. ”

After Dr. Brown said this, the gloom that had just been trapped on his face faded a little.

"So what is this Mr. Tao going to do? How do you tell him that he's not a good candidate for surgery?

It seems that he is well prepared and very much looking forward to success. ”

Zhang Wenwen began to worry about Tao Qian, maybe it was the compassion of some of his compatriots, Zhang Wenwen was a little regretful, maybe Tao Qian would be very disappointed, and he would be very depressed.

He just looked so weak.

"That's right." Zhang Wenwen suddenly thought, "Is this patient no longer able to walk?" He seems so harmonious with the wheelchair, I mean he looks like a very experienced disabled person. I know I'm not polite to say that, but you know what I mean? ”

Dr. Brown nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I understand what you mean, in fact, many patients are more accustomed to being disabled, but few of them come directly to the operation in a wheelchair, because most people still live with the crowd, everyone knows that you have sound legs, and you will not be allowed to sit in a wheelchair easily, which means that you have brought more trouble and trouble to the rest of the family, and what you can do now needs your wife to do for you, Household chores that you could have helped with at home have been put on the shoulders of other family members when you are in a wheelchair.

No one wants to take on some extra work, do they? Whether it's at home or at work. Therefore, although most people have recognized themselves as disabled people for many, many years, they still strive to live like normal people.

But this Mr. Tao is very unusual, I feel the same as you, he seems to be completely used to living with that wheelchair, and it is not an ordinary wheelchair, this wheelchair is specially customized, there are many, many wonderful functions, it is like an open-top small mobile castle. ”

Although Zhang Wenwen's feelings are not as profound as Dr. Brown's, he does realize that this wheelchair is not an ordinary wheelchair, which makes Zhang Wenwen think of Hawking's wheelchair, and some people always joke, "I really don't know if it's a wheelchair or Hawking who is talking to the world." ”

What is going on with this Tao Qian?

Zhang Wenwen's worries soon became real troubles, Tao Qian was very angry, and even thought that the people here lacked professionalism, unlike the gentle and philosopher-like temperament when they first met a day ago, Tao Qian in the afternoon looked like a soldier on the battlefield, and he was the kind of soldier with an unusually hot temper.

"I don't think I have any problems with surgery, I have long regarded myself as a disabled person, it is very clear in my medical statement, when I was very young, probably at the age of elementary school, I didn't like my legs, I felt that they were redundant, and then, when I grew up and had financial strength, after I went to school, I knew that this kind of problem was not a dilemma that I faced alone, there are many people like me in the world, some of them have been helped, some have not, and there are people who have not been helped, Life can never get better. ”

Tao Qian's words were hard to refute, because his pain and despair were completely between the lines, in his tightly knit brow and eyes that glistened with tears.

God, he's so vulnerable and helpless.

It's actually very easy to understand when it turns around, and it's understandable that a person is panicked, angry, and distressed because he knows that he is going to have his leg amputated. However, this person is angry that he cannot amputate his leg, which always seems contradictory in the minds of normal people.

Dr. Brown is very experienced, leaning against the wall and letting Tao unleash his emotions.

After Tao Qian calmed down, Dr. Brown pulled Zhang Wenwen out of the room.

Dr. Brown said, "It's really confusing, if only Professor Lewis were here, I don't know what happened now." Let's go have a drink, it's morning, but I really want to have one. ”

Zhang Wenwen nodded, it is not difficult to find a glass of wine to drink during the day in this part of Bangkok.

The two of them each asked for a beer and a large portion of corn chips.

Dr. Brown gulped half a cup, but Zhang Wenwen didn't even drink a sip.

"I really thought it was too difficult, but luckily we re-evaluated it based on the test results, because his reaction just now didn't look like the reaction of a BIID patient at all." Dr. Brown took a deep breath. "You don't know, if this knife goes down, in a few hours, we may face a losing lawsuit, and I feel like I have escaped from the gates of hell."

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Wenwen was completely confused.

"Because, although the BIID patient is determined, he does not become very angry because he is not allowed to operate, and we have not seen this level of anger, they should be sad, they will think, is that all there is to it?

For most of their lives, they have spent most of their lives in compromise and hiding, and the presence of Biid makes them feel ashamed, a quirk that is difficult to talk about, especially not knowing that they just have brain functions that may be different from ordinary people.

There are also patients who are disgusted with this kind of thinking because of their faith, often sad and sad, they hide, hide, and suffer silently alone.
