Chapter 94 Man-made Disaster
At noon, school is over.
Jiang Ning went to push the mountain bike, and Xue Yuantong followed him.
"Jiang Ning, tomorrow is Friday. I'll treat you to something delicious tonight. Do you have a good place in mind?"
"You're going to treat us, you decide the place, right?"
"I want to eat hot pot, but I also want to eat barbecue." Xue Yuantong said in a dilemma.
"Then find a restaurant that has both hot pot and barbecue." Jiang Ning unlocked the car.
"This kind of shop is too fancy, won't it taste bad?" Xue Yuantong asked doubtfully.
After she finished speaking, her phone vibrated twice. When she took it out, her mother's phone number was displayed.
Xue Yuantong answered the phone and said with a smile:
"Hey, Mom, what are you doing with me? Are you buying me snacks?"
However, the gentle voice of my mother I imagined did not come, but instead sounded a little weak:
"Tongtong, would you like to come to the inpatient department of the Orthopedics Department of the Third Hospital?"
Jiang Ning frowned. Even though the phone was pressed against Xue Yuantong's ear, he could hear all the sounds.
The Third Hospital is the abbreviation of Yuzhou Third People's Hospital, and Yuzhou is famous for its orthopedics department.
Xue Yuantong's face changed instantly, and he asked:
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Come to the Third Hospital now and wait until you arrive."
Jiang Ning pushed the bicycle: "Come up, I'll see you off."
Xue Yuantong looked worried. She didn't waste any time and jumped into the back seat.
"Hold tight," he said.
Xue Yuantong hugged Jiang Ning obediently. She knew what Jiang Ning was going to do. It was very dangerous, but she was too worried about her mother.
Jiang Ning released his consciousness and scanned the crowd around him. He pushed the mountain bike with his spiritual power. He stepped on the pedals and the bike flew out and passed through the crowd nimbly.
The Third Hospital is about five kilometers away from the Fourth Middle School. Jiang Ning avoided the crowds and walked along the streets and alleys. He arrived at the entrance of the Third Hospital in less than ten minutes.
He pulled Xue Yuantong into the third hospital. The orthopedic inpatient department was on the first floor of the east hospital.
As soon as she entered the hospital, Xue Yuantong felt a cold and depressing atmosphere. When she thought that something might happen to her mother, she became worried and wanted to appear in front of her mother right now.
"Do you remember the ward?"
"Ward No. 5."
Jiang Ning had never been to the Third Hospital. He didn't look at the sign and directly pressed his consciousness towards the building. A large amount of information entered his mind. He recognized Ward No. 5 and led Xue Yuantong there directly.
Entering the hall and walking into the long corridor, some patients were walking limpingly and twisted, and there were also some visitors carrying milk and fruits.
The door of Ward No. 5 was open. As soon as Xue Yuantong entered the door, he saw his mother and couldn't help but shed tears.
Aunt Gu was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, her right arm hanging in front of her body with a bandage, and the surface of her arm was covered with a thick plaster.
There is a needle stuck in his left hand, a bottle of medicine hanging above his head, and an intravenous drip is being administered.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xue Yuantong walked over with a cry.
Jiang Ning glanced at Aunt Gu's arm with her consciousness and clearly discovered that the bone was broken in the middle.
"Mom accidentally broke her arm. It's okay." Aunt Gu's face was pale. She wanted to reach out and touch Tongtong's head, but then she remembered that her arm was broken and couldn't be used.
"Mom, does it hurt?"
"It won't hurt."
"Jiang Ning, you sent Tongtong here, thank you." Aunt Gu was as kind as ever.
The doctor in white coat came in from the door, holding a stack of materials in his hand and said:
"Let me see the film."
Aunt Gu said that at the bedside, Jiang Ning handed the film bag to the doctor.
The doctor took out the video, watched it for a while, and asked:
"Are your hands numb? Try making a fist."
Aunt Gu nodded. She tried to make a fist, but it seemed particularly difficult.
"You have a fracture in the middle of the humerus. If you have numbness in your hands, it is generally considered to be damage to the radial nerve." The doctor said.
Xue Yuantong asked: "Doctor, what is the radial nerve? Can it be restored after damage?"
"The radial nerve is a nerve close to the arm. If it is damaged, it may affect the function of the fingers, causing symptoms of paralysis and wrist drop."
"Whether you can recover depends on the damage."
The doctor said: "I will write you some orders and check it out in the next two days. Your current situation requires surgery to put a steel plate on your bone to allow it to grow properly."
"Your arm is a bit swollen. I'll do surgery on you after the swelling subsides for two days."
The doctor explained some precautions and left the ward.
Seeing that the medicine was gone, Jiang Ning rang the bell in front of the hospital bed and called the nurse to change the medicine.
After the nurse finished changing the medicine, Xue Yuantong asked:
"Mom, how did you break your arm?"
"I accidentally fell it, nothing happened." Aunt Gu didn't want to say more.
Ward No. 5 has six beds. Opposite is a fifty-year-old aunt with a bandage wrapped around her foot. After hearing Aunt Gu's words, she answered:
"How could you fall on your arm? Normally you can't fall on that position?"
"The man in the bed in front of you just left. His arm was broken in the same position as yours. He broke it in an arm wrestling match and spent more than 30,000 yuan. If you broke it, you have to pay more than 30,000 yuan. Do you have health insurance?”
When Aunt Gu heard that it was more than thirty thousand, her expression condensed:
"There is rural medical insurance."
"That won't work. Even if the application is completed, it will cost more than 20,000." The aunt obviously has experience.
More than 20,000 yuan was almost Aunt Gu's annual income. At first, she only knew that the fracture was serious. She did not expect to spend so much money, and her mood instantly sank.
Seeing that Aunt Gu seemed to have something on her mind, Jiang Ning asked:
"Aunt Gu, what happened?"
Aunt Gu no longer concealed it and told the story of her injury.
She finished her work at the restaurant today and came back on a scooter. When she arrived at Xingda 2nd Road, a car suddenly rushed out of the intersection and was about to be hit. She was busy dodging and accidentally fell down, hitting the curb with her arm. It broke.
"Are there cameras on that road?" Jiang Ning asked.
Aunt Gu often takes that route: "No."
"Then this will be difficult to handle." Jiang Ning said, in this case, even if it is the car's fault, there are no cameras, so it is difficult to hold people accountable.
Although Aunt Gu was dodging the car and it was the car that caused her injury, but because there was no direct collision, as long as people bite her to death and refuse to admit it, and just think that Aunt Gu fell, nothing will happen to her.
"Did the car owner see you fall?"
"I saw it, she drove away directly." Aunt Gu said.
It is even more difficult to obtain evidence as soon as possible.
The aunt next to me answered: "These drivers have no conscience at all! I don't know how to send you to the hospital. Xingda 2nd Road is not close to here."
"Mom, how did you get here after you broke your arm?" Xue Yuantong asked. Tongda Second Road is more than a kilometer away from here.
Aunt Gu: "I came by taxi."
Xue Yuantong burst into tears again. Her mother would definitely be reluctant to take a taxi. Thinking of such a long journey, her mother dragged her broken arm to the third hospital...
Seeing this, Jiang Ning looked at Xue Yuantong: "As you watch here, it's already noon. I'm going to buy something to eat. When I come back, this bottle of medicine should be finished."
"By the way, Auntie, do you still remember the license plate number?"
"I can't remember clearly. The last two numbers seem to be 6 and 2."
"Well, wait until I come back."
The aunt next to me praised him: "Your son is so handsome."
Aunt Gu said: "He is my daughter's classmate."
The aunt was surprised and said: "This classmate is so nice that he can accompany me here."
Aunt Gu didn't say anything. In recent days, she has become more and more satisfied with Jiang Ning, who is independent and sensible, and has good grades.
My daughter is happy every day when she is with him, and her face looks much better.
She also found a job. Everything was going well at first, but suddenly this accident happened. Maybe God didn't want her family to be like this.
Aunt Gu sighed inwardly, it was more than 20,000 yuan, and it would take several months to recuperate.
