Chapter 151 150. Prosthetic limb selection
Huaiyu was so hit 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."
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 put the basket on his back in a hurry.
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 around, I saw that he was twitching the corners of his lips. I couldn't tell whether it was a smile or some other expression -
"snort!"
Huaiyu held his breath and waved his hand directly: "Then I'll go sell vegetables."
Zhou Qian nodded, his face as usual: "Go ahead."
When she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked:
"Are you going to get a prosthetic leg today? When will it be installed? I'll accompany you."
Zhou Qian said impatiently: "It's just a basic adaptation, it's not time to pretend. I still need you to accompany me for such a trivial matter? Whether you can sell the food this afternoon is another matter, so hurry up and earn points."
Huaiyu thought you were looking down on me!
Boss Tang 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 prosthesis?"
"confirm."
“Do you understand the advantages and disadvantages of traditional prostheses and new biomaterial prostheses?”
"learn."
"Do you voluntarily sign a contract for observation and testing of new biological materials? Additional explanation: The biomaterial laboratory will not interfere with your personal life. It will only visit you regularly, and you will be asked to describe your experience in detail."
"Sign voluntarily."
"That's great." One of the doctors handed over the contract: "Please sign and stamp in the specified place. The contract will take effect immediately after completion."
Zhou Qian opened the contract with a bang, 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 the contract satisfied, 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 -
"Doesn't he feel any pain? His mid-thigh was amputated! After taking care of him for so long, I have never heard him cry out in pain..."
But he could clearly feel the pain.
The hospital gown on my body was soaked with sweat every day, and my arms were covered in cold sweat during the infusion. 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 neuralgia for so many days at the beginning... Later, when he was sent here, the wound was soaked..."
It’s really hard to endure!
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 is completely beyond the limits of human beings.
Everyone chatted back and forth and could only sigh: "Hey! Thanks to the defense army, their physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people."
"The pain-bearing ability is the most terrifying. He also has to choose new materials - you see, our traditional prosthetic limbs are blended with new materials, and now they feel good to use!"
Before the disaster, the technical means of traditional prosthetics were already very mature.
Nowadays, coupled with continuous research and a large number of disabled people, medical needs have increased sharply. 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 prosthetics can also bear weight and can walk normally, but they can't afford the high intensity, and the running-in is slower... But hasn't he retired? There is no need for high intensity."
"I don't understand... maybe I'm missing contribution points? I heard that for those who choose new biomaterial prosthetics, the institute will give them 2,800 points!"
"That's true... but it is said that as long as you are not so poor that you have no choice, you will not choose this. The benefits of the defense army are not bad, but not..."
"That's not necessarily true. Look at the sister who comes to bring him food every day. She has no color on her face. She is thin and small... I guess she needs more nourishment."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"well…"
Zhou Qian didn't hear the two chatting.
Even if he heard it, he wouldn't care.
Whether the prosthesis is suitable or not, only he can tell.
The advantages of traditional prostheses are so obvious—gentle and harmless, stable and long-lasting.
The only thing is that the intensity is low and cannot keep up with his now greatly improved body.
Once installed, his body can no longer bear the burden of high-intensity combat and exercise.
Only new fully biological fusion materials—
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 comparable to that caused by neurotoxins.
Soreness, swelling, numbness, itching, pain...
The constant gluing of all the new nerves will cause excruciating pain.
Therefore, currently, even biological materials have 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 some words with a surprising sense of maturity.
He has so many secrets all over his body, yet he is so easy to trust others...
Only then did Zhou Qian realize—
Ordinary people can't help her or protect her.
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!
