Chapter 3112: with translation of chapter title
What's going on?
One day we went out to eat, and when we got back he felt uncomfortable. But isn't there still a breath left? Here we could only tough it out." Sun Wenyi said, "I think it's just acute gastroenteritis; I gave him hot water to drink, and then everyone went to sleep. At 2 o'clock in the latter half of the night, my buddy finally couldn't hold on."
"His build is too big; we couldn't carry him, so we could only dial 112 for help. When we were in the ambulance being sent to the hospital, we originally thought we would receive proper treatment. Emergency department, huh—I've been to our place's emergency department before; the doctor came running out with just one shoe on, probably still half-asleep." Sun Wenyi said, showing a faint smile, possibly thinking of the predicament of domestic emergency doctors and finding it amusing.
"Not mentioning our place, you guess how—we took the 112 ambulance to the hospital, a young doctor came to ask about the medical history, and after a 2-minute initial consultation he disappeared. We were left like trash in the hospital corridor, waiting for nearly an hour."
"My buddy's vomiting was terrible—he threw up stomach acid, and several times he felt so awful he was about to faint; not a single doctor or nurse attended to him. Now thinking back, it's still awful; you say we're easy?" Sun Wenyi sighed and said, "The children of wealthy families go abroad to gild themselves; our department really just wants to learn something, but the chances of staying are slim; returning home to find a good job to support the family."
But outside it's really damn suffering.
"What's going on?" Assistant Liu asked doubtfully.
"Maybe the doctors and nurses were just busy; I don't know. The next morning my buddy felt a bit better, and we ourselves slunk away from the hospital. Later the bill came—looking at the ambulance fees, we were all dumbfounded. We didn't even get the illness treated, and in the end we almost lost everything."
Sun Wenyi said, "Before I went abroad, Brother Liu, guess how many catties I was."
Assistant Liu glanced at Sun Wenyi; he was short and rather chubby. Before going abroad? Is this saying foreign food is good or bad?
"219 catties!" Sun Wenyi made an exaggerated gesture and laughed, "Going abroad really made me lose weight; we won't talk about the food not suiting our taste—just seeing a doctor is unbearable. So we have daily group outdoor exercise to ensure good health. This is tantamount to earning money—not getting sick is earning, hey."
"International students aren't easy, especially our kind. Not mentioning that, so... Mr. Xie, don't rush, don't rush."
Xie Ning nodded slightly.
"These are all small things; I have a teacher who almost died in Sweden." Sun Wenyi, seeing the queue still had a while, kept talking to Assistant Liu to avoid awkwardness.
"My teacher has been abroad for a while; initially she had hyperthyroidism, and the Swedish doctors prescribed oral medication at a higher dosage than in our country; she didn't dare take more, called to consult our domestic doctors, and then she got better. Later she had a stomach ache, waited two weeks for a gastroscopy, then waited for an ultrasound."
"One night the pain became unbearable, so she went to the emergency department. Fortunately someone attended to her, gave her two pills and sent her home. That medicine is OXCYNORR; after taking it she collapsed and was sent to the hospital for emergency rescue. It's said that in the ambulance the doctor said she had seen eight doctors in four weeks, wasting public medical resources."
This statement really shattered Assistant Liu's worldview.
"Afterwards, after being rescued, we checked the OXCYNORR instructions. It's a painkiller for cancer patients, and it clearly states that hyperthyroidism patients must not take it."
"If this happened domestically, it would definitely be a medical accident. But here, everyone just stays silent."
Sun Wenyi kept talking, and then the call came; the time was already 9:30.
He didn't continue speaking, immediately took Assistant Liu and Xie Ning into the consultation room. After explaining the situation, the doctor picked up a pen, wrote a line on a piece of paper, and handed it to Sun Wenyi.
Assistant Liu looked at Sun Wenyi, the little fatty said helplessly, "The doctor said v? rdcentral Community Hospital lacks the relevant equipment to remove the fish bone."
"……" Assistant Liu wanted to curse.
Even the steady Xie Ning felt helpless; what the hell is this?!
"He said, take this." Saying this, Sun Wenyi shook the paper in his hand, "Go to Karolinska Hospital for treatment, just say I referred you."
Assistant Liu was so angry he was about to explode.
But thinking about the purpose of this trip, it's better not to cause trouble for my boss's son-in-law. If we argue and get taken to the police station, we'll need someone to bail us out—how embarrassing, how embarrassing.
If word gets back to China, people will surely say we're overgrown babies. Just endure…
"This paper writes the hospital name and emergency in Swedish; the doctor also instructed that upon arriving at Karolinska Hospital's emergency department, just say we were referred from the community hospital." Sun Wenyi saw Assistant Liu's unpleasant expression and repeatedly said, "Don't be angry, it's just like this here; national conditions differ, national conditions differ."
Ten o'clock, arrived at Karolinska Hospital. Found Building 28, Sun Wenyi introduced, this is the adult emergency building.
No choice, we just have to wait here.
Xie Ning has been worn down to having no temper; it's just a fish bone, just a fish bone…
He took out his phone; Xie Ning saw Xie Yiren's message.
They have already arrived in Stockholm, saying they are having dinner with Lin Wan'er.
Why not let Zheng Ren help take it out? Xie Ning knows Zheng Ren always has a small medical supplies vendor with him, carrying various emergency and rescue items. Also unknown whether they're allowed to bring them out of customs; those are medical supplies, but given Zheng Ren's status, it should be fine.
But this thought flashed and vanished; absolutely cannot lose face in front of the pig that ruined my vegetable field!
Xie Ning resentfully thought.
One hour…
Two hours…
Five hours…
The three of them sat in the waiting area for a full five hours; not knowing whether it's because there are too many patients or the emergency level for a fish bone isn't high enough, in any case they never called Xie Ning.
The little fatty Sun Wenyi also said he was tired; no amount of gossip could compensate for the mental trauma. This day they did nothing but queue here for consultation.
Xie Ning also felt numb; it seems that for future medical trips abroad, we still need to… make an appointment, absolutely cannot rely on that cheap son-in-law!
What the hell is this! Xie Ning also began to feel some resentment.
Just a fish bone, what's the fuss!
They waited until 4 p. m., when Xie Ning finally heard his name called.
Although not standard, he kept his ears perked, afraid that missing this moment would waste the day's time.
Finally the wait ended; Xie Ning felt a great relief.
He didn't dare tell Xie Yiren what he was doing, just said he was busy with work, letting them play on their own. If convenient, let's have dinner together tonight.
Looks like it shouldn't interfere with dinner tonight, Xie Ning thought.
But he didn't expect that misfortune had just begun.
