Chapter 12: Visiting the Sick
9.12 Visitation
The black Dodge sedan was speeding down the road, and Huang Haoran was going to the East Lake Sanatorium to visit his old partner in the 5th war zone, Chief Li. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not long after the retreat from Xuzhou, an old gunshot wound on Chief Li's right cheek suddenly attacked, causing his right face to be red and swollen, and his right eye was almost blind! And in the face of the menacing disease, the military doctors of the 5th Theater Commander's Department are helpless against it!
Under such a last resort, Chief Li could only ask the highest authorities for leave to go to Wuhan for medical treatment. With the approval of the Military Commission, Chief Li handed over the command of the Chinese army in the 5th Theater to his brother "Xiao Zhuge ", and he himself rushed to Wuhan to live in the famous Donghu Sanatorium in Wuchang.
The official name of the East Lake Sanatorium is Wuhan Health Sanatorium, which was founded by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1935 on the shores of East Lake in Wuchang at a total cost of 250,000 oceans. The East Lake Sanatorium covers an area of more than 600 acres, and its construction, equipment and technology are all first-class at that time. In 1938, after Wuhan became the wartime capital, the East Lake Sanatorium took advantage of its relationship with the U.S. Congress to paint the roof with the U.S. flag to prevent Japanese bombing. The highest authorities, Chief Feng and others have all been hospitalized in the East Lake Sanatorium.
Of the 250,000 oceans spent on the construction of the East Lake Sanatorium, 100,000 oceans were donated by Zhang Shaoshuai. Zhang did this to thank H.W. Miler, the founder of the Wuhan Health Sanatorium, for helping him successfully quit opium.
It is precisely because of this money from Zhang Shaoshuai that the East Lake Sanatorium treats Chinese with special enthusiasm. The director and chief of surgery of the East Lake Sanatorium is an American, not only with superb professional skills, but also with a very good character! In addition to the hospital and sanatorium, the Donghu Sanatorium also has a nursing school and Sanyu Primary School, of which Sanyu Primary School not only enrolls Christian children, but also the children of farmers and fishermen near the Donghu Sanatorium, and the tuition fee is low; For ordinary people who come to see a doctor, the East Lake Sanatorium only appropriately charges a small amount of consultation fees.
Huang Haoran has always been very respectful of such international friends and friendly groups that treat the Chinese people well.
After getting out of the car, Huang Haoran took a deep breath of the unique humid air by the lake! In July, the heat wave in Wuhan is already rolling and the heat is pressing, but the more than 30 square kilometers of the lake here can still send a burst of coolness. The East Lake at the foot of Luojia Mountain has a quiet environment and cool air, and even this sanatorium by the East Lake has become a rare summer resort in Wuhan.
Being hospitalized in such a good place, Chief Li is also blessed!
Due to Chief Li's admission to the hospital, the vigilance inside and outside the Donghu Sanatorium has been greatly strengthened, and if he wants to enter the sanatorium, Huang Haoran has to deal with the military police first.
When the officer on duty in the gendarmerie unit saw the rank of lieutenant general on Huang Haoran's collar, he hurriedly ran over and saluted, and then politely asked Huang Haoran to show his ID.
Huang Haoran took out his military ID card from the pocket of his military uniform and handed it over together with the work card issued to him by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"It turns out that you are General Huang Haoran Huang! No wonder it looked familiar! ”
The officer on duty actually saluted Huang Haoran again, and his face turned a little red because of his emotion, and the gendarmes who were originally standing next to the gate of the sanatorium with their rifles in their hands heard Huang Haoran's name, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to see the appearance of the "victorious general" clearly! If it weren't for the fact that these gendarmes were all soldiers, I am afraid they would have surrounded them long ago.
"Smack! Syllable! Smack......"
"Good! That's nice! Just a name can also make these gendarmes excited! It is not an exaggeration to say that Brother Youchen is famous all over the world! ”
Inexplicable slaps and flattery came from behind Huang Haoran. Huang Haoran turned around and found that he knew the person who spoke.
Huang Shaohong, an old friend of Chief Li in Guangdong. When Huang Haoran was in Xuzhou, he had met Huang Shaohong a few times, but he was not too familiar. Although Huang Shaohong looks very honest on the outside, he is tactful. A few years ago, he felt that the water of Liangguang Lake was shallow and difficult to occupy, so he took refuge in the highest authorities.
It stands to reason that in this way, Huang Shaohong and Chief Li should be regarded as a complete break, but the actual situation is that Huang Shaohong not only obtained advantages in front of the highest authorities, but also did not hurt the harmony between Huang Shaohong and Chief Li, and he and Chief Li always maintained friendship.
Huang Shaohong's sleekness can be seen from this! For such a "slippery head", Huang Haoran has no good feelings.
Fortunately, Huang Haoran is not a loyal and honest person, after seeing clearly that the person who spoke was Huang Shaohong, Huang Haoran immediately greeted Huang Shaohong.
"It turned out to be Brother Ji Kuan! You are not in Zhejiang Province to be your parent official, what are you doing in Wuhan? ”
"Ahem, it's hard to put into words...! Don't talk about me... By the way, I think Brother Youchen should also come to visit Duke De, right? It just so happened that we went to see Degong together! ”
Huang Shaohong sighed for a long time, and didn't say anything serious, but pretended to find out the purpose of Huang Haoran's coming to the East Lake Sanatorium. Huang Haoran saw that Huang Shaohong's vigilance was so heavy, and knew that it was impossible for him to ask the truth from Huang Shaohong's mouth, so he also followed Huang Shaohong's words haha.
"Oh! It turned out that Brother Ji Kuan also came to visit Duke De! That's a coincidence! ”
After Huang Haoran said these few words, he smiled and retrieved his officer ID card and work card from the officer on duty, and then stood aside to watch the officer on duty find trouble with Huang Shaohong.
Fifteen minutes later, Huang Haoran and Huang Shaohong met Chief Li who was walking by the lake.
"Oh! Youchen! Ji Kuan! How did the two of you come together? At first, when the guards announced, I thought I had misheard! ”
After Chief Li saw Huang Haoran and Huang Shaohong, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and when he heard Chief Li's angry voice, Huang Haoran smiled! It seems that Chief Li is recovering very well after the operation, although the incision on his cheek is still covered with gauze, but the whole face looks no longer abnormal.
"Degong's injury seems to have healed!"
What Huang Haoran wanted to say, but Huang Shaohong took the lead, Huang Haoran glanced at Huang Shaohong who was smiling all over his face, and inevitably felt a little disdainful in his heart.
"Worried the two brothers! My injury was a gunshot wound I suffered during the Battle of Long Jiguang in the fifth year of the Republic of China, and it has never fully healed. Every once in a while I would run out and toss around, I'm used to it! However, it used to be only slightly inflamed, and it usually goes down quickly, so it's not a big deal... I never thought of it this time! The chief surgeon here operated on me and took out a handful of black bone crushed bones from the roof of my mouth and palate, and finally found the root of the disease!
