Chapter 44: Fractures (1)
climbed the ladder to the roof, but everything went well, and Yao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sergey began to paint the roof with waterproof paint with a brush. It took about two hours to finish, and it was already noon, Sergei straightened up and exhaled tiredly.
"Sergey, are you done?" Yao Jingjing was afraid that something would happen to Sergei, so she kept staring down.
"I'll go down right away when I'm done."
"Be careful." Yao Jingjing hurriedly held on to the ladder again, staring at Sergei above with both eyes.
Sergei carefully climbed down the ladder with the paint bucket, and just after taking two steps, he slipped under his feet, and he slipped off the ladder. Yao Jingjing was also shocked when she saw this, and spread out her hands to try to catch it, but what was the use!
With a loud 'ah', Sergei fell heavily to the ground, and Yao Jingjing was crushed under him.
"Ahem, ahem." Yao Jingjing suddenly felt stuffy in her chest, and couldn't help coughing twice.
Sergei felt a sharp pain in his right foot, and he gasped in pain, not forgetting to ask his wife below.
"Jingjing, how are you?"
"I'm fine, how are you?"
Yao Jingjing slowly stood up, threw the dirt on her body, caught a glimpse of Sergei's face wrinkled, holding her right foot with both hands, and couldn't help but worry: "Sergei, what's wrong with your foot?" ”
"Maybe it's coming." Just now Sergei's right foot landed thinking about the ground.
Yao Jingjing squatted down and tried to touch Sergei's right foot with both hands, but as soon as he touched it, Sergei suddenly felt a sharp pain and struck again.
"It hurts, it hurts."
"Oh, Sergey, you look very serious, it doesn't look like a broken foot, maybe it's a broken bone. Let's go to the hospital. ”
"Going to the hospital, the medical expenses are very expensive."
"Now how can you take care of any medical expenses, your foot is more important, if it is really broken, it is not good to delay treatment. Go, I'll help you. Yao Jingjing put one of Sergei's arms on her shoulder, and struggled to help Sergei up, Sergei's right foot couldn't touch the ground at all, and it hurt badly when it touched the ground.
Yao Jingjing helped Sergei onto the tricycle, she went back to the house to get her wallet, got on the tricycle and went out of the yard, and drove straight to the town.
Medical care in Russia is free, but it is only for simple medical services, and it is for public hospitals, and you have to make an appointment to see a doctor, and the level of medical care in public hospitals is also very poor. Most people still have to go to private hospitals for treatment, and of course, the cost of medical care is relatively high.
For an emergency like Sergey's, you can only go to a private hospital. Under Sergei's guidance, Yao Jingjing drove Sergei to a private hospital in the town. As ordered by the doctor, an X-ray was given to Sergey.
At this moment, the attending physician stared at Sergei's X-ray, his brow furrowed.
"Doctor, how are my husband's feet?" Yao Jingjing looked worried and asked in English.
"Mr. Sergei had a comminuted fracture of the heel bone of his right foot, which is clearly visible." As he spoke, the doctor pointed to the X-ray and motioned for Yao Jingjing to see.
"Uh, is it serious?"
"I have just examined his right foot and asked him about his condition, Mr. Sergei did not have skin numbness, loss of hot and cold sensations, stiffness of limbs, etc., and I expected that although his right heel was fractured, the damage to the vascular nerve was not too serious. In this case, surgical open reduction can be performed directly, followed by internal fixation. ”
