But Thomas Clanton insisted on his own opinion, and as the team doctor of the Rockets and an expert on foot injuries, he has the final decision on this matter. For direct conflicts, he would naturally not refer to his theory.

But the team is on the side of Thomas Clanton at this time, because Thomas Clanton's method sounds more feasible, and Amilke's theory has no support, and it is very likely that conservative treatment will fail. You have to choose surgery, so Yao Ming may be reimbursed for the entire season, which is unbearable for the team.

This is not due to salary considerations, because if Yao Ming is injured and cannot play, the insurance company will pay Yao Ming's salary in full. is the main reason.

If Yao Ming chooses surgery, he will be able to return to the game in two months at most, and this will only delay the regular season for one month at most. The team still has hope in this season, and if Yao Ming is reimbursed for the season, it will not only affect the Ticket sales, broadcast rights and advertising revenue will all be affected.

Without Yao Ming, the chances of live broadcasting in the United States will definitely be greatly reduced, and the broadcasting in China will also be greatly reduced. Chinese manufacturers will definitely not place advertisements in the Toyota Center, the home of the Rockets. If you don't have a child, you will lose a lot of income, and maybe there will be no surplus this season.

Although on the surface, each of the Rockets basically maintains a balance of payments, but in essence, offshore companies that hold profits overseas through reasonable tax avoidance and other means, for Alexander, who has been on Wall Street, is another It's too simple.

Therefore, for the Rockets, it is impossible for Yao Ming to be reimbursed for the season, because now is the time for package sales and the signing of the billboard business. Once the news that Yao Ming may be reimbursed for the season spreads, It will definitely affect the development of these businesses.

But this time Yao Ming didn't pay as much attention to the team's opinion as before, and quickly decided to have the surgery. Instead, he refused to have the surgery as soon as possible on the grounds of observing for a few more days. It must be done as soon as possible, because such a delicate operation requires skilled assistants and nurses. If the operation cannot be performed as soon as possible, it may have to be postponed until the next month.

The team asked Yao Ming to make a decision as soon as possible, but Yao Ming felt that it was time to think more about his own career. The team only valued their interests, and Thomas Clanton also only stood for his own interests. On the other hand, he can earn nearly 20 U.S. dollars for one such operation, so of course he advocates surgery.

In the United States, doctors are a very lucrative profession, because most people’s medical expenses are paid by insurance companies. Although the wool is still on the sheep, because the money is not directly paid by themselves, many people are not too Regardless of this, the personal burden can also be paid by the insurance company in the form of over-reporting. For example, Yao Ming went to take an X-ray. First, the doctor must confirm whether you can take it. The diagnosis fee is more than 200 US dollars, and then take it once The cost is more than [-].

Among the more than 400 fees, Yao Ming needs to pay a little more than 600 US dollars, but under normal circumstances, the doctor will prescribe a little more for the convenience of settlement under the premise of the patient's consent, and the cost is more than [-]. The expenses borne by individuals are added to the insurance. The patients get less and the doctors charge more. high.

The medical system in the United States is very complete, and the division of labor is very clear, detailed to the point of tediousness. For example, in order to perform this operation on Yao Ming, Thomas Cranton must hire doctors and nurses who can perform this operation, and then purchase medical supplies for the operation. Matching medical equipment, because once a medical dispute occurs, they may lose their fortunes, so in order to get rid of this risk, they will take legal issues into consideration in all links.

This has also caused all medical costs to be very high, especially for surgery. If Yao Ming chooses to have this surgery, no matter which hospital it is for, he will receive an anesthesiologist, assistant, nurse, etc. Of course, the bills sent by the hospital are also indispensable. If you think there is a problem with that link, you can sue someone, but you cannot hold everyone accountable. Blocking doors and beating and scolding are illegal.

Of course, if all these are paid by the insurance company, this matter will be much easier. As a patient, especially a person like Yao Ming who has paid high medical insurance fees, you just lie on the bed and accept it. Surgery is enough, so the reason why Thomas Cranton insisted on surgery, in addition to the theory he insisted on, the cost is also a very important factor.

Theory is very important. His treatment method is handed down in one continuous line. He has to maintain the correctness of this treatment method, so in many cases, Americans are very confident, because if you are not confident and do not persist, then How to prove your correctness.

Once it rises to this level, the contradiction is irreconcilable. Even if Yao Ming wants to receive other treatment methods, he must get the consent of the Rockets team doctor, Thomas Clanton, but Thomas Clanton insists on Surgery, and Yao Ming wanted to observe for a period of time, and at this time, as a third-party team related to this matter, they hoped that Yao Ming could have the surgery as soon as possible, because he was out of their own interests to consider.

Two to one, Yao Ming was at a disadvantage, Yao Ming was still a little hesitant, or just had surgery, anyway, it’s not like he hadn’t done it, the effect of the surgery is still obvious, and he can return to the game as soon as possible, but Yao Ming My father was determined this time, and he was determined not to allow surgery. Even if the injury recurred, it was actually normal, and it was normal to wait for a while before making a decision.

This is actually the difference between Chinese and Americans in many places. Chinese people like to be self-reliant, study on their own, and think about things after encountering them. Americans like to leave professional things to professional people. I don’t know what to do here. What to do, well, consult an expert, the expert has the final say.

This also has something to do with the language. If the Chinese don’t understand something, I can look up the information by myself. At most, I don’t know how to explain some professional terms, but most of them can be understood.This is not the case in English. You are not a medical professional, so you can’t understand those medical books at all. You can only know one or two words in a paragraph at most, which is basically no different from heavenly books.

Yao Ming's father also found some professional medical experts through domestic relations, and consulted some of their opinions. Most people think it is better to adopt conservative treatment, at least it will not deteriorate there, it is nothing more than procrastination A little longer, which made Yao Ming's father more firm in his own mind, and also affected Yao Ming's judgment.

On the one hand, there is his father who loves him unreservedly, and on the other hand, his own benefactor. The opinions of the two sides are so irreconcilable. Yao Ming really has no way to make a decision. The team broke up, and the team absolutely couldn't bear such behavior. On the side of the team, his father refused to agree or say anything, and even Yao Ming himself felt that it was inappropriate.

Really unable to make a decision, Yao Ming called Stephen. He was really envious of Stephen's body. This kid didn't seem to know what it means to be tired, let alone being injured. What, Yao Ming didn't really believe it, but he felt that Stephen must have his own views on maintenance, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to listen to the opinions of outsiders.

Stephen grew up receiving traditional American education, but as he grows older, his experience becomes more and more abundant, and he has his own views on everything. Regarding Yao Ming’s hesitation, he doesn’t think it’s necessary to think too much about the team or the team doctor. From my point of view, everything should be considered from the perspective of myself, how to treat can prolong my career and ensure long-term health, and don't consider those additional factors.

"But if that's the case, we'll have a falling out with the team." Yao Ming said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? With your ability, you are afraid that no team will want you. Don't worry, come to us. We are lacking an inside superstar. Let's join hands and win a championship. "Stephen said with great momentum, but in fact it was mostly a joke. He didn't think the Rockets would trade Yao Ming because of this, but what he said made Yao Ming's heart moved.

Although he also wants to stay in the Rockets and become a legend of the Rockets, it seems that the management of the Rockets doesn't think so. They don't consider their careers, but try to squeeze every bit of themselves Interest, and if he stays with the Rockets, he really can't see the prospect of a championship, but he is also worried about whether the Rockets will let him go.

"Well, come to my side. I am in San Francisco now. My uncle has just returned from China. He is a famous Chinese medicine doctor and is also very good at health preservation. I think you can let him see what kind of treatment is better. Good." It happened that Chen Yingjie had just returned from China, and Stephen also thought it would be better to listen to the opinions of experts on this kind of matter.

"Okay, I'll go with my father now." Yao Ming was really forced to have no other choice, so he quickly agreed and decided to come with his father. After the injury recurred, he had already given up. Yao Ming, who is in a wheelchair, is sitting in a wheelchair again, and he really needs someone to take care of him, but more importantly, he still believes in his father's opinion.
