Chapter 691: Unlucky Mr. Xing 4
Director Wan sneered disdainfully, "It was said that people are greedy and will never stop eating. I never thought that Deputy Secretary Xing would not be able to imagine how great it is for Comrade Lin Yu to supply the city with so much food and meat. As far as I know, the food and meat provided by Comrade Lin Yu have solved the urgent needs of the city. He has done enough."
The secretary also shook his head helplessly: "In fact, it is not just Lao Xing. There are many comrades who hold the same idea. These comrades have not thought about it carefully. How much does it cost for Comrade Lin Yu to transport such a large amount of food and meat from Europe and the United States to China?"
Director Wan didn't want to comment on this, so he changed the subject: "Secretary, today Deputy Minister Yan said something. He was very dissatisfied with Deputy Secretary Xing's behavior of using Yu Zhaolong, an elite who had undergone a medicinal bath for strengthening the body and nourishing the essence, as his bodyguard. He believed that these elites should be used as trump cards to deal with emergencies, and not just as personal guards for someone."
The secretary nodded and said, "Director Wang of the Municipal Security Department reported to me that it was Deputy Secretary Xing who called him and asked him to arrange for Xiao Yu and Xiao Sun, two comrades who had undergone the medicinal bath, to accompany him to Machekou Village in Changping. At that time, Director Wang could not save face from Deputy Secretary Xing, so he agreed to send Yu Zhaolong to accompany him. This afternoon, I have clearly told Director Wang that if anyone makes a similar request in the future, it will be rejected directly."
At this time, the Volga car the two were riding in had parked steadily in front of the Union Hospital building. The secretary and Director Wan got out of the car one after another, and the other two deputy secretaries also got out of their cars one after another. Everyone walked towards the hospital building together.
The hospital leaders who received the notice hurried out of the building to greet them. The group simply shook hands and exchanged a few words, then went up to the third floor under the guidance of the hospital leaders.
When everyone walked to the door of a high-ranking cadre ward on the third floor, they could already hear Deputy Secretary Xing's hoarse screams coming from the room.
The secretary and several other leaders pushed open the door and walked into the ward. They saw three middle-aged and elderly doctors in white coats treating the wounds of Deputy Secretary Xing who was lying on the bed. There were six or seven wounds on Deputy Secretary Xing's back and waist caused by stones. Although there were no obvious wounds in many other places, the skin nearby had turned blue.
The secretary frowned and asked, "Comrade Doctor, what is the current situation of Deputy Secretary Xing?"
Hearing the secretary's voice, the three doctors who were treating the patient's wounds stopped what they were doing. Even Deputy Secretary Xing, who had been screaming just now, could only grit his teeth.
An old doctor said, "Leader, we are treating the patient's injuries. We need to wait for the X-ray to confirm the specific situation."
The secretary turned to look at the dean beside him and asked, "How long will it take for the film to come out?"
The dean glanced at his watch before reporting, "Secretary, I have arranged for the radiology department to develop the films of the three injured as quickly as possible. Normally, they should be ready in ten minutes at most."
As soon as the dean finished speaking, a young doctor walked into the ward breathlessly and handed several X-rays in his hand to the dean.
The dean took the film and handed it to the old doctor who had just spoken.
The old doctor carefully looked at the X-ray in his hand, and after a while he handed it to another middle-aged doctor.
After the middle-aged doctor finished examining the patient, he was about to speak, but the old doctor stopped him by shaking his head slightly. The old doctor then frowned and said, "Let Doctor Song continue to bandage the patient's wound first. We will go to the office for a consultation." After that, he winked at the dean.
The dean obviously understood what the other party meant, so he asked, "Secretary, we will immediately organize all the experts in the hospital to have a consultation. Would you and a few other leaders like to go over and listen to the consultation?"
The secretary's heart sank. How could he not notice the doctors' strangeness? Apparently, after looking at the X-ray film, the two doctors did not want to discuss the patient's condition in front of him. From this, it can be concluded that Deputy Secretary Xing's injury must be more than just a simple fall.
So the secretary and several other leaders followed the dean and the other two into the doctor's office not far away.
The secretary said bluntly: "Comrade doctor, please speak directly if you have anything to say. Don't hesitate."
The old doctor picked up the X-ray film, pointed at it and said, "From this X-ray film, we can preliminarily conclude that the patient's lumbar spine has been severely bruised due to the impact, and now there are three obvious fractures in the lumbar spine."
The secretary frowned and asked, "Doctor, how should this condition be treated? Can surgery be performed?"
The old doctor shook his head slightly. "The nerves in the lumbar spine are complicated. Considering the patient's age and physical condition, it would be too risky to perform surgery rashly. The slightest mistake could cause the patient to be completely paralyzed. It is recommended that an experienced old Chinese doctor perform the reduction, and then the patient should rest in bed for a long time to recover slowly."
The secretary's mood became increasingly heavy. He was of course aware that the old doctor's words were obviously spoken in a rather reserved manner. After all, the patient's identity was not ordinary. He was a deputy secretary of the city. Doctors had to be extra cautious when treating such a powerful figure. Obviously, the old doctor's implication was very clear. The patient could not undergo surgery at all. Moreover, he was already nearly sixty years old. Even if he was repositioned by an experienced old Chinese doctor, it would be difficult for him to recover in a short period of time.
However, the secretary also needs to report to his superiors when something like this happens, so he must thoroughly understand the true situation of Deputy Secretary Xing, so he asked: "Comrade doctor, according to your experience, how long will it take for the patient to fully recover?"
The old doctor shook his head slightly. "Sir, even if the recovery is ideal, it is already quite good for this patient to be able to walk on his own. After all, once a person gets older, his physical condition will decline sharply, especially once the bones are injured, it will be more difficult to recover. What's more, the lumbar vertebrae are fractured in three places. Even in the most ideal condition, the patient cannot stand or sit for a long time in the future. It is best for him to stay in bed for a long time. Otherwise, if he stands or sits for a long time, the lumbar bones will not be able to bear it."
After hearing this, several leaders felt extremely complicated. According to the doctor, Deputy Secretary Xing might have to stay in bed for a long time in the future. In this case, he would have no choice but to retire and go home to recuperate.
