Chapter 283 Illegal Surgery

Half a month later, the old professor introduced Dr. Brown to Zhang Wenwen. Dr. Brown is a very calm doctor with brown skin and a slightly short stature. Especially when standing next to Zhang Wenwen, he looks more like a malnourished doctor.

Dr. Brown told Zhang Wenwen that he did not participate in the operation of BIID patients. He was just a middleman responsible for confirming the patient's information and investigating the patient's medical history, collecting payments and avoiding legal risks as much as possible.

Dr. Brown's accent was very strange when he spoke English. Zhang Wenwen couldn't tell where his accent was from. Brown smiled and explained, "I was raised by Filipinos. My grandfather is French, my grandmother is Portuguese, and my mother is from South Asia. So my English pronunciation is extremely rich, as brilliant and changeable as the world seen through a kaleidoscope."

What a doctor who is very good at entertaining himself. Zhang Wenwen likes Dr. Brown's personality.

Such a person is indeed very suitable to be a middleman. He looks so international that there is no prejudice against him at all.

Brown told Zhang Wenwen that the surgical evaluation of BIID patients is very difficult. Many patients still delay or cancel the surgery for various reasons after finding me through various channels.

Zhang Wenwen said very understandingly: "After all, it is to destroy the limbs that have developed normally. This process is not like assembling toys. You can disassemble and assemble them again. If a person's leg is sawed off, he will never grow a second leg again."

"It's not this reason. Most patients have hurt themselves many times before finding me. You may not know how fearless people can be when they want to complete a task."

Zhang Wenwen really didn't know, because he himself is particularly afraid of pain.

"Some people canceled the surgery out of responsibility due to family reasons, persuaded by their wives or husbands, but 80% of these patients will come back to apply for surgery again a few months or a year later. Some of them eventually divorced, and some of them were willing to complete their lives because their partners were willing to complete their lives.

Others are more special patients, children, especially minors. According to Professor Lewis's research, he believes that children may not have a very clear understanding of their decisions and are more likely to be impulsive. Therefore, for minors, they must be particularly cautious in the process of diagnosing BIID. Secondly, the surgery will generally be postponed until they are over 25 years old. By that time, if they still want to have surgery, I will try to give priority to it."

"I have heard that there are other ways to change this disease. I wonder if you know it." Zhang Wenwen remembered what Mu Chun said, that you can try [aversion therapy] to help patients feel and experience how disgusting it is to lose their legs, so as to reduce and change their determination to remove their lower limbs.

Brown shook his head, saying that he was only responsible for contacting patients for surgery, and Brown lowered his voice to tell Zhang Wenwen that this type of surgery is always on the edge of the law.

No doctor would perform this type of surgery in a large hospital. What they do is not allowed by law in some regions.

Zhang Wenwen also understood that although both parties had signed an agreement and the patient clearly stated that it was of his own will, this type of surgery would not be allowed in the hospital anyway.

This is the case in North America, and it must be the same in Zhinan Affiliated Hospital, because hospital surgery is ultimately disease-centered. Although it is now advocated to be patient-centered and person-centered, after all, an operation as large as amputation cannot be simply said to be person-centered.

Therefore, the doctor chosen by the middleman is in Thailand.

Zhang Wenwen has not seen the doctor yet, but he will see this patient soon.

This is also the reason why he cannot rush back to the Garden Bridge Hospital before Christmas.

Jiang Feng, who goes by the pseudonym Tao Qian, waved gently to Dr. Brown.

Dr. Brown pushed his wheelchair straight to the parking lot. It takes 40 minutes to drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport to the center of Bangkok. Although it is more than midnight, this city close to the equator is still very lively. People of different ages and skin colors can be seen on the street enjoying the colorful tropical life.

The girls wore bright long skirts, short skirts and off-shoulder tops, while the men wore short sleeves and slippers. The night market was crowded with people and the mangoes, coconuts and watermelons were fragrant.

Dr. Brown asked if he needed to go to the hotel to rest first. Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "Let's do the test first. I have rested for four hours on the plane and don't need extra rest."

Jiang Feng's words sounded particularly convincing for some reason, unlike the calmness and seriousness of his age.

Dr. Brown thought about it and decided to do a preoperative evaluation for Jiang Feng after a nap.

"Mr. Tao Qian, after all, the previous evaluation was completed online, and we have received your advance payment. However, I personally still hope to explain the entire surgical process to you in detail in the face-to-face process, including the time, surgical method and postoperative recovery process. These require you to fully understand them in person and re-sign the written agreement. So from the doctor's point of view, I still hope that you can have a good rest first. We are not in a hurry. Before the end of this year, I will only have you as a patient. I hope that there will be no problems throughout the process, and you will not regret your decision today in the future. Is that okay?"

Jiang Feng nodded. Considering the unpredictable factor of flight delay, Jiang Feng did leave a full eight hours of free time on the first night after arriving in Bangkok. These eight hours were just right for sleeping.

Zhang Wenwen had many questions to ask Jiang Feng, but he knew he shouldn't say anything. First of all, it was the first time he had come into contact with Brown's work. In addition, the unusually calm attitude of this patient named Tao Qian made Zhang Wenwen feel a little cold on his back.

It was really unreasonable to sweat profusely in December in Bangkok.

Zhang Wenwen lay on the bed in the hotel, thinking if Gu Yiping knew that there was a doctor who could perform an amputation surgery for him, would he be impatient and determined to cut off his two legs.

His wife would definitely stop him in various ways. Who would have thought that her husband would actually want to turn himself into a disabled person.

And how many people in the world have lost some limbs for various reasons, when they are awake, asleep, or even in their dreams, they always experience that they still have the part of the limbs they have lost.

They are so real, they hurt, they itch, and they seem to have never left.
