Chapter 159: A Trip to the East
After lunch, Hou Dalin called Qin Bafeng and Zhao Yali to his room.
"Old eight, this is your passport, you put it away yourself, remember, at this time of year in the future, you have to pay a thousand dollars, don't forget."
"What? What is a passport? What is it for? Why do you have to pay every year? I have to pay a thousand! It's also too expensive. ”
Qin Bafeng looked at the passport handed over by Hou Dalin, and was stunned and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up. This simple little book seemed to be a piece of red-hot iron, so scared that Qin Bafeng didn't dare to take it and take a look.
A thousand dollars, and she has to pay it every year, she doesn't think she can have that much money to pay for it.
"Old eight, what about this passport, it is equivalent to our household registration book over there, you say, can you do it without a household registration book?" Hou Dalin chose a way that she could understand the importance of passports.
"Since it's a household register, why don't you put it together? You can save some money that way! Besides, I have so much money there! ”
Qin Bafeng is very self-aware, she really doesn't think she can have so much money.
"This man takes it by head, and he has to pay so much money when he puts it together. You take it, or I won't take you away tomorrow. You yourself will be here to accompany Zhao Yali for the rest of your life. ”
Hou Dalin's words made Qin Bafeng stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said, "Let's leave again?" Where are you going? ”
"New York or Washington!"
"What's that?"
"Where you can see Xiao Jiu, you don't have to ask all the time, you don't understand if you talk too much. But what I just said is true, or you can just be right here, and you won't have to follow me around. ”
Hou Dalin really didn't want to take her, and he felt that his own actions would be greatly restricted.
"No, I'll have to follow. Dalin, I know I don't understand anything, but how to say it, it's a lot of people, when you're busy with other big things, I can at least take care of Xiao Jiu and don't let you worry. Qin Bafeng's words were sincere, and that's what she thought.
For this goal, tens of thousands of miles have been run, is it difficult to get here and quit the group? How can that work.
Besides, she has a secret that no one knows. When the doctor asked her if she was going to protect the baby, she lied and told the nurse that she was protecting the baby. This matter has been tormenting her heart. She always felt that she had hurt her sister.
She also blamed herself countless times, how could she be so stupid and tell such a lie at that time.
If it weren't for that lie, maybe Xiao Jiu would still be alive and kicking now, and Hou Dalin wouldn't have to take her here to see a doctor.
Therefore, even for the sake of this self-blame in her heart, no matter how difficult it is, she will accompany Hou Dalin and treat Xiao Jiu together.
"That's what you think?" Hou Dalin asked Qin Laoju again, to be honest, he still had some confidence in this Qin Laoba.
This woman has such tenacity, and now she has become very aggressive, not afraid of the sky and the earth, suitable for working hard with him.
"I really think so, although this is good here, but this is Zhao Yali's home after all, we can't stay here forever, so what's the matter?" Qin Laoba is still very self-aware.
"Okay, you pack up, let's fly to New York together tomorrow." Hou Dalin made a decision.
"Brother Da Lin, have you decided which hospital to go to?" Zhao Yali stopped Hou Dalin in one sentence. He's just been busy making money lately, and he hasn't really thought much about it.
In his previous experience, the good hospital is either in the capital of the country or in the most economically developed city, as long as you go to these two places, it should be very similar.
Seeing Hou Dalin shaking his head, Zhao Yali said again: "Brother Dalin, I have focused on checking some information at home in the past few days, and I have also asked my father. The hospitals here in the United States are still different from ours. I suggest that we don't set off so quickly just yet, let's get here first and find a hospital. When it's over, let the doctors here recommend a better hospital for us. What do you think? ”
Hou Dalin listened to Zhao Yali's suggestion, not to mention, this woman really helped him think about this matter.
There is a sickness (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 159: A Trip to the East
Go to the doctor and listen to the advice of people to eat enough!
Hou Dalin decided to adopt Zhao Yali's opinion, and on the same day, with the help of Zhao Yali's mother, he made an appointment with tomorrow's doctor.
The next day, Mr. Hou called for a taxi and took them to a hospital in San Francisco.
I have to say, the hospital here is really dark! After a round of inspection, it cost Hou Dalin a thousand dollars. This money is almost enough to buy a family car.
This is not the end, the attending doctor reads the report, asks for consultations, consultations, and all adds up, which is a large amount of expenses. People basically charge by the hour, and there are many doctors involved, and this fee is also rising!
At the end of the day, the doctor just said that it was most likely caused by blood clots or lack of oxygen, but they couldn't figure out what the specific cause was.
In fact, Hou Dalin knows one thing better than them, that is, there is no blood clot in Xiao Jiu's head. It's just that he can't tell these doctors that during their consultation, he knew that Xiao Jiu had a long period of shock, and thought that she must have a blood clot in her brain, which can be said to be medical common sense.
Of course, Hou Dalin can't help what people say is wrong, although he knows that it is wrong, but how can he prove it? Now that there is no brain CT, how do you ask him to come up with strong evidence?
Hou Dalin still felt that Xiao Jiu's coma should be caused by a long-term lack of oxygen in the brain, which caused a cranial nerve problem.
So he still consulted the doctors here, which neurological hospital in the United States is the most famous.
"That's John of Baltimore, of course. Hopkins Hospital, the birthplace of neurosurgery in the world. ”
With this answer, Hou Dalin didn't want to waste time here.
After paying the money and politely rejecting the doctor's suggestion that they stay for long-term treatment, Hou Dalin flew to Washington with three people the next day.
Baltimore is only more than 60 kilometers away from Washington, D.C., which is equivalent to the distance from the city of Tianjin to the capital.
San Francisco did not fly directly to Baltimore, and the group had to get off the plane in Washington.
After some tossing, Hou Dalin and others finally pushed Xiao Jiu out of the airport in a wheelchair.
The wheelchair was also specially made and was bought at that hospital in San Francisco. This wheelchair, which is claimed to be specially developed for vegetative patients, only adds some functional structures, and the asking price is five or six times higher than that of ordinary wheelchairs.
I have to say that hospital equipment is really profitable!
Out of the airport, the two women were somewhat blindsided, although they had been in the United States for some days, but in the face of the prosperity here, they still let these two stupid girls fall into downtime again and again.
"Let's go, don't be stupid here." Hou Dalin greeted the two stupid girls and walked to the taxi waiting area.
"Where do you want to go, sir?" A black dude asked enthusiastically.
"Are there any used car dealers nearby?" I want to go buy a car first. ”
"Oh man, that's not close! Are you sure you want to go there? Instead of letting me send you straight home? "As soon as the black buddies came out, they just wanted to slaughter them a little more.
Hou Dalin knew it, but he was unfamiliar with life, and he didn't have any good choices.
"Don't go home first, go buy a car first. You look at the back, we have the patient, she's been in a coma, so, I don't know when it's going to be... You know! ”
"What will it be?" The black buddy asked with a confused expression.
Hou Dalin didn't say what would happen, but just replaced it with a voice.
It was about a minute before the black buddy said God, and sped up.
It only took twenty minutes for the car to stop in front of a used car dealership.
Hou Dalin asked him to wait here, and there was a fee for waiting anyway. It's just that this buddy is reluctant, for fear that the passenger behind him will suddenly really "poof".
Hou Dalin had a passport and quickly bought a car. The car can only be said to be able to drive, and it is an N-hand pickup. It doesn't matter if it's broken, give Hou Dalin a while, and he can make this car run silky.
After changing the car, Hou Dalin asked Zhao Yali to sit in the co-pilot and took the map to help him navigate.
(This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 159: A Trip to the East
It took nearly four hours for the group to reach their destination.
The reason why it took so long, in addition to the traffic jam, was because of the wrong road twice. Zhao Yali also just came to the United States, and her English level is to show off in China, and when she arrives here, she can't even compare to a homeless person.
It's the first time to look at the map and navigate, and to be honest, it's already very good to be able to do it to this extent.
By the time we got to Baltimore, it was already dark. Several people found a hotel to stay in, planning to go to the hospital the next day.
After a night of silence, the next day, they went straight to Hopkins Hospital.
But if you want to see a doctor directly, that's not possible. For a disease like Xiao Jiu, if you don't make an appointment with a doctor, it's useless to find an ordinary doctor on duty to see it. can only choose to let Xiao Jiu be hospitalized first, and then wait for an appointment with a well-known doctor.
Hou Dalin paid for the whole process, and the speed of spending money is simply not too fast! I have to say that in this part of the United States, medical treatment is really expensive. These hospitals or medical companies earn the state's medical insurance, and that's really how much they hate.
This is a pain for Hou Dalin, because they don't have medical insurance. At his own expense throughout the whole process, he could only watch his little money be spent.
Within a few days, his funds were on a very dangerous cordon.
It seems that we still have to find a way to generate income! Hou Dalin sat on the side of Xiao Jiu's hospital bed and secretly sighed.
