Chapter 151 150. Prosthetic limb selection
Huaiyu was so beaten by Zhou Qian that he just wanted to sulk.
But the other party just finished the extra meal as if nothing had happened, and then urged her:
"Hurry up and sell the vegetables. If you bring such a big basket, it won't be fresh if you don't sell it anymore."
Huaiyu lowered his head and looked at the cowpeas in the basket on the table beside him. Thinking that Boss Tang was still waiting for him, he stood at the table and turned around, then he quickly put the basket on his back.
Because she didn't have to bend down and get up, the heavy backpack was pressed on her shoulders. Although it was very difficult for her to grin, it was not impossible to carry it.
It’s just that his expression is more ferocious.
Huaiyu looked at Zhou Qian subconsciously. She always felt that the other person would laugh at her secretly.
When I turned my head, I saw that he was twitching the corners of his lips. I couldn’t tell whether it was a smile or some other expression——
“Humph!”
Huaiyu held his breath and waved directly: "Then I'm going to sell vegetables."
Zhou Qian nodded, his face as usual: "Go."
And she When I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked:
"Are you going to install a prosthetic leg today? When will it be installed? I will accompany you."
Zhou Qian He said impatiently: "It's just a basic adaptation, it's not time to pretend. Do you need to accompany me for such a small thing? Whether you sell the food this afternoon is another matter. Hurry up and earn points."
Huaiyu thought you were looking down on me!
Boss Tang’s place collects the food in minutes!
But she didn't say a word, she just turned her head proudly and walked away.
The footsteps in the corridor gradually disappeared, and Zhou Qian pressed the pager expressionlessly.
Not long after, three doctors came to the ward, holding thick contracts in their hands.
"Hello, we need to confirm again - are you sure to choose the new biomaterial prosthetic limb?"
"Confirm."
"Do you understand the advantages and disadvantages of traditional prostheses and new biomaterial prostheses?" ”
“Understood. ”
“Do you want to voluntarily sign a contract for observation and testing of new biological materials? Additional explanation: The biomaterial laboratory will not interfere with your personal life and will only visit you regularly. You are required to describe your experience in detail.”
"Sign voluntarily."
"That's good." One of the doctors handed over the contract: "Please sign and stamp your thumbprint in the specified place. The contract will take effect immediately after completion."
Zhou Qian opened the contract, quickly signed his name in several designated places, and then pressed his fingerprints neatly.
"Thank you for your cooperation - Mr. Zhou, please come to the observation room here. Before that, we need to confirm the data. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we will have a professional team to fit the prosthesis with you. "
The doctors left with satisfaction on the contract, but Zhou Qian declined the wheelchair pushed by the nurse, and then put on the crutches that had been placed beside the bed.
"Do, do, do..."
The crutches were supported on the floor, making a crisp sound, and he moved forward step by step, with difficult but firm movements.
Just like Huaiyu’s thin body carrying a heavy weight.
Behind him, in the exclusive nurse's desk in the private ward, two nurses looked at his back with admiration and regret, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice -
"He didn't even Does it hurt? It’s a mid-thigh amputation! I’ve been taking care of him for so long, and I’ve never heard him cry out about pain..."
But he could clearly feel the pain.
Every day, the hospital gown on my body was wet with sweat. During the infusion, my arms were covered in cold sweat. If it hadn't been for the needle, my muscles would have been so tight that I couldn't even insert it.
"You haven't seen that he could survive the nerve pain for so many days at the beginning... Later when he was sent here, the wound was soaked..."
He can really survive it!
His legend is spread throughout the medical system - whether it is his narrow escape from extremely toxic and painful neurotoxins, or his later ability to endure pain that completely exceeds the limits of human beings.
Everyone chatted and could only sigh: "Hey! Thanks to the defense army, his physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people."
"This ability to endure pain is the most terrifying. He also has We need to choose new materials - you see, our traditional prosthetics are integrated with new materials, and they feel good now!”
Before the disaster, the technical means of traditional prostheses were already very mature.
Nowadays, coupled with continuous research and a large number of disabled people, medical needs have increased dramatically. Today's prostheses combine some biological materials and are doing quite well.
However, Zhou Qian chose a new type of pure biological fusion material with clearer advantages and disadvantages.
Therefore, the nurses are even more confused -
"That's right, traditional prostheses can also bear weight and can walk normally, but they can't afford the high intensity, plus the wear-in and It's just slower... But hasn't he retired? There's no need for high intensity."
"I don't understand... I heard that he chose new biomaterial prosthetics. The research institute will give you 2800 points!”
“That’s true...but it is said that as long as you are not desperate, you will not choose this. The benefits of the defense army are not bad...”
"Not necessarily. Look at the sister who comes to deliver food to him every day. She has no color on her face. She is thin and small... I guess she needs more nourishment."
"Alas... ”
Zhou Qian didn’t hear the two chatting.
Even if he heard it, he wouldn't care.
Only he can tell whether the prosthesis is suitable or not.
The advantages of traditional prostheses are so obvious—gentle and harmless, stable and long-lasting.
The only thing is that the strength is low and cannot keep up with his greatly improved body.
Once installed, his body can no longer bear the burden of high-intensity fighting and exercise.
Only a new type of fully biological fusion material——
Because it is a biological material induced by multiple parties, it will be more closely integrated with the human body and nerves, without rejection, and has basic neurofeedback .
The disadvantage is -
When biomaterials anastomose and fuse with nerves, they can cause severe pain and discomfort that is equivalent to that caused by neurotoxins.
Acidity, swelling, numbness, itching, pain...
The constant adhesion of all new nerves will make people miserable.
For this reason, even biological materials have always been impeccable in all aspects around the world. Only because of this, there are no more than 10 people who have survived the adaptation period.
Zhou Qian never considered this at first.
I had already worked hard enough for the past 30 years, but now I can just switch to a more ordinary prosthetic leg that does not affect my walking.
But...
It’s different now.
Huaiyu is still so young. Every time I see her working hard for a better life, I feel that her little body is really carrying too much weight.
But the other person is not an ordinary little girl. She has the innocence, kindness and softness of a child, and sometimes she often says words with a surprising sense of maturity.
There are so many secrets in her body, but she is easy to trust others...
Zhou Qian then realized——
Ordinary people cannot help her or protect her. Not hers.
And he himself failed to protect Zhou Ning six years ago. Six years later, I hope Huaiyu can have a stable life.
Update one, I planned to take leave today for my birthday...but I thought about it and wrote it anyway! besides!
