352. Walking

The nurse took Meng Zimei's family to the office. There were two doctors inside. One of them was the technical director here, surnamed Tan. Director Tan checked Zhang Qianqian's condition and said with confidence: Zhang Qianqian's amputation was below the knee. With the prosthesis, there is absolutely no problem walking normally, and many people with high thigh amputations are able to walk without crutches, and you will have no problems at all.”

They sat there and carefully consulted about prices, materials, and various situations of rehabilitation training.

While talking, the nurse came out from the inner compartment with a cane just now, holding the prosthetic limb just removed from her in her hand. Her left pant leg was empty.

She also asked Zhang Qianqian to touch her amputated leg. Her left leg was amputated an inch above the knee, and she was able to walk freely after the prosthesis was installed. Zhang Qianqian's amputation was below the knee, and she was able to walk freely.

Indeed, as the nurse said, facts speak louder than words. Seeing the living example of the nurse, Zhang Qianqian's family of three are full of confidence in the function of this prosthesis.

Director Tan explained, After the prosthesis is installed, you need to do a period of training, mainly adaptation and balance training. Another point to be explained is that it will be a bit difficult when carrying a prosthesis or going up steps. Under normal circumstances, it is the same as ordinary people.

Due to differences in materials and technology, the price of prosthetics varies greatly. It ranges from a few thousand to more than a hundred thousand. Of course, cheap materials and processes are simple, and expensive materials and processes are good.

The prosthesis of the nurse just now is the best, 150,000 yuan.

Zhang Qianqian is still young. If the conditions permit, of course it should be the best outfit, but if the financial pressure is high, it is not bad to consider the upper mid-range price. For example, the price of 100,000 yuan, many people choose it, and the result after using it The response is good. Director Tan introduced with observation.

Zhang Qianqian knew that her father had a 130,000 card in his pocket, which was the 100,000 that the hospital compensated before coming here and the refunded medical expenses. She had an accident this time, and the family owed some foreign debts. If she wanted a 150,000 yuan prosthetic, plus the cost of rehabilitation training, it would be more than 160,000 yuan. The difference was 30,000 yuan. The family had nowhere to borrow .

So Zhang Qianqian said: Then I will make one hundred thousand yuan.

But Zhang Zhou said: Qianqian, let's make the best one if we want to do it, 150,000 yuan is 150,000 yuan.

Dad, it's too expensive. We don't have that much money.

The daughter's sudden sensibleness made Zhang Zhou feel even more distressed.

He insisted on giving her the best prosthetic.

Qianqian, don't think about money, I have a solution.

Dad, what can you do? The family already owes money to others, and everyone knows about our family's situation. It is impossible for you to borrow any more money.

At worst, I'll sell the house, and I'll let you install the best one no matter what.

I don't want it, I don't agree. Where will we live after selling the house?

You can rent a house to live in first, and then slowly save money, and then buy a house again.

I don't rent, I only live in our own house.

The father and daughter insisted on their own views and refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere became tense.

Director Tan interrupted with a smile, You see, my daughter is so sensible, it's really painful. Don't rush to make a decision, think about it first, and then discuss it with the family. In fact, the 100,000 model is not bad, and it is economical. Most people like it. Choose this one.

The other doctor was also winking and avoiding the truth, and talked with them about the homework, and naturally talked about the cause and effect of Zhang Qianqian's amputation. A series of incidents such as car accident, being cheated, amputation, and jumping off the building made everyone overwhelmed. Sigh.

The nurse was surprised and said: It turns out that you are the girl who jumped off the building in the First People's Hospital of the city yesterday? It's going crazy on the Internet.

With that said, she turned on her phone and found yesterday's news.

Zhang Qianqian took the phone and looked at it. Isn't the girl in the red down jacket sitting on the roof the same as herself? There were also the onlookers downstairs, the plastic rechargeable air cushion, and her falling from the roof of the building. These familiar scenes reappeared in front of my eyes one after another. These are all things that happened yesterday, but to Zhang Qianqian, it seems like it happened in the last century.

Such a sensational incident happened all over the country just yesterday, and it was sent out by the hospital today, with all the ups and downs of human feelings.

Director Tan said: What happened to you is very distressing, so let's do it! I don't earn a penny for the 150,000 imported prosthetics, and I will charge you a cost price of 120,000. According to relevant national policies, after you go back You can also go to the local Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a subsidy, which is about 20,000 yuan, and in the end, you only pay 100,000 yuan to install the best prosthesis.

The matter was settled in this way, an imported prosthesis worth 150,000 yuan was ordered for 120,000 yuan, and a deposit of 20,000 yuan was paid first, because it would take more than ten days to make the artificial limb, Zhang Qianqian didn't want to do this Going back incomplete and ugly, Zhang Zhou decided to rent a house in Nanshi to take care of his daughter's mood. He will wait for the custom-made prosthetics to arrive and let his daughter have them installed before going back.

He has already asked for leave for more than a month, and the unit leader has become more and more unhappy from the initial concern and greetings. Zhang Zhou asked Meng Zimei to go back to work and apply for subsidies from the Civil Affairs Bureau. He himself continued to stay with his daughter.

After Meng Zimei went back, she not only applied for a subsidy of 20,000 yuan from the Civil Affairs Bureau, but also brought them good news.

Zhang Qianqian's jumping from the building caused a sensation all over the country because of a series of serial tragedies such as escaping in a car accident and being cheated by the hospital. Shangzhong County, as Zhang Qianqian's hometown and the place where Zhang Qianqian's car accident happened, has also suffered a lot. An investigation team was set up for this matter, and Zhang Qianqian's driver who escaped in a car accident was quickly found out.

Under the interference of the local government, the escaped driver was ordered to pay Zhang Qianqian 200,000 yuan in compensation.

More than ten days later, Zhang Qianqian's prosthetic was ordered. From the outside, the size and color were exactly the same as the other foot. Wearing pants and shoes like this, at least from the outside, Zhang Qianqian couldn't see any defects. The incomplete fragments are also being restored bit by bit. While it may not be as perfect as before, it is complete.

Forty-five days of walking training, Zhang Qianqian has lost her crutches and learned to walk by herself.

After Zhang Qianqian returned with her prosthesis, her parents went to work, and she took a year off from school to rest at home alone. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for or enter the URL:
