627. Chapter 627: Visitation
""="(――)"="()">
A few days later, I arrived at the psychiatric rehabilitation center. When she learned that Lin Rui was going to see Lincoln, the nurse looked at the Asian young man a little strangely and frowned, "Are you sure you're looking for Lincoln Stephens?"
"Yes, what's the problem?" the nurse said, shaking her head, "This is a very special patient who has received special care. All those who visit him must have the consent of his doctor. ”
"Oh, there are still such regulations?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, because he has severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Contact with certain people and events may aggravate his condition. So visiting him requires the consent of his doctor. The nurse shook her head and said, "That's what his doctor prescribed." ”
"Okay, where can I find this doctor?" Lin Rui thought for a moment.
"It's in the office over there, or I can call you and let you know. The nurse looked at Lin Rui and said. "Are you a soldier?"
Lin Rui was stunned and shook his head, "No, at least not yet." ”
"Well, the doctor was very reluctant for soldiers to visit Lincoln. She thinks it can have a very bad impact on patients. The nurse smiled.
"She's a female doctor?" said Lin Rui with some surprise.
"Yes, she is a new medical specialist to our hospital. After the nurse made a phone call, she said to Lin Rui, "You can go in." ”
Lin Rui nodded and walked to an office inside, "Hello ......" Lin Rui was stunned for a moment after saying this, and said in amazement, "It's you, Lu Hanxin?"
He knew the female doctor, and it was not the first time Lin Rui had met her since he rescued her in the Somali pirate camp for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be on this occasion.
The female doctor looked at him with some surprise, but quickly recovered, "Please take a seat." ”
Seeing this young female doctor again, Lin Rui even had some unreal feelings. He smiled wryly and said, "It seems that this world is really too small. ”
"It's not that the world is small, it's that you and I are running around. Lu Hanxin smiled. "I'm glad I did, at least when I met you this time, at least you didn't have a gun with you. ”
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Later, we might want to have a meal together or something." ”
"Maybe. Why are you here today?" Lu Hanxin frowned.
"I need to talk to one of your patients. Lin Rui looked at her and said.
"One of my patients?" Lu Hanxin frowned. "Are you talking about Lincoln?"
Lin Rui nodded, "Yes, it's him, but the nurse said that I had to get the doctor's consent before talking to him, so I came to see you." ”
"I see. Lu Hanxin nodded, "In the past month, at least three groups of people like you have come. ”
"Someone like me?" Lin Rui frowned.
Lu Hanxin shrugged, "I've been in Africa with MSF for a whole year, and I know what a mercenary is like. No matter how good a suit you are, you can't hide that kind of temperament. ”
"What temperament?" Lin Rui smiled.
"Disregard for life, whether it is one's own or someone else's. And it's hard for you guys to trust other people. Lu Hanxin said calmly.
Lin Rui looked down at his suit, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I rarely wore these before, but today I came to see a patient, not to go to the battlefield." I wanted to look lighter. Would you agree to let me meet him?"
"I'm afraid it's not going to work, I'm responsible for my patients. He's recovering well, and I don't want him to be involved in the war any more. ”
"What I'm going to talk to him about is not your war, it's about your future life. He will have a job and a plan for the future. Maybe this will make him positive and face life later. Lin Rui shrugged.
"What kind of life, like you, can you be injured at any time, or even die in a foreign country?" Lu Hanxin shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a good thing for him." ”
"Dr. Lui, I don't want to argue with you, but what is the outcome, why don't you let me talk to him directly? We may have different opinions about him, but you have to admit that the final decision should be made by himself. Lin Rui sighed and said.
"But he was my patient. It took a lot of effort for me to heal him, so I don't want you to drag him into battle again. Lu Hanxin said a little unhappily.
"I understand that you have a sense of mission as a doctor, and I admire your courage and self-sacrifice at Médecins Sans Frontières. But even then you are not qualified to make any decisions on his behalf, right? What do you think is best for him, but that is just your personal opinion, shouldn't we respect Lincoln's own choice?" Lin Rui looked at Lu Hanxin and said.
"Damn, you're just like those people in private military companies, you want him to be a mercenary and get back to the battlefield again. Could it be that Lincoln would like this kind of life?" said Lu Hanxin loudly.
"Dr. Lui, you have joined Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and traveled the world to save patients in the poorest, backward and war-torn places. What are you for?" Lin Rui said as he looked at her.
"All people are created equal, even the poorest and in the war. I joined Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) out of human conscience and respect for human life. Lu Hanxin said excitedly.
"So let's talk about respect. Respect for human life is not only about keeping him alive and healthy. If to live is to be respected, then what were those black slaves on the plantations of the Americas hundreds of years ago, and were they respected?
Respect for life is not to let a person live, but to let him live with the right to choose freely. So Dr. Lui, if you really respect your patient, you should let me talk to him. I'm not forcing him, I'm giving him a choice. No matter how he chooses, the decision must be made by him, not deprived of the opportunity to make the choice as you did. Lin Rui sighed and said.
Lu Hanxin was stunned for a long time, looking at Lin Rui as if she had never seen him before. After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "What if I don't agree?"
"Then I'll think of something else. Lin Rui smiled and said, "Maybe we should really have dinner together later and have a good exchange." But I'm sure you'll say yes, you're strong-hearted, but you're soft-hearted. ”
"God, you're actually slapping my ass. Lu Hanxin smiled bitterly and said, "But I have to admit that you have some truth in what you said, and he should do the choice." I'll agree to you seeing him, though, I'll have to watch. Just in case you irritate him. ”
