Did professor octogenarian have a sudden cerebral infarction and fly back to Wuhan at his own expense?

On February 25th, Mr. Song, an 82-year-old retired professor from Wuhan, had a cerebral infarction while traveling with his family in Cambodia. His family chartered a plane to send him to a hospital in Thailand for rescue and underwent craniotomy in Bangkok hospital. The medical, civil aviation, transportation and other departments of China and Thailand set up special affairs offices to jointly open an unimpeded life emergency channel for their follow-up treatment after returning to China. On March 8, Mr. Song's family spent more than 4, yuan to charter a medical plane and sent it back to the Third Hospital of Wuhan for treatment.

On March 9th, the staff of the Third Hospital revealed that the professor's family and Gong Nianchun, the chief physician of neurosurgery in this hospital, have been old friends for more than 2 years. More than 2 years ago, Gong Nianchun cured his daughter-in-law. This time, the family named Dr. Gong Nianchun to attend.

82-year-old Mr. Song Lao is a retired professor at China University. On February 21st this year, he traveled to Southeast Asia with his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson. On the evening of February 25, in a hotel in Cambodia, the 21-year-old grandson found Mr. Song sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, his hands unable to move and his mouth unable to speak.

The family immediately sent Mr. Song to the local hospital, which was initially diagnosed as a severe cerebral infarction. Due to the limited medical conditions, the doctor suggested that Mr. Song be transferred to Bangkok Hospital in Thailand.

The family decided to rescue Mr. Song no matter how much it cost. They decided to charter a flight to Thailand. That evening, Mr. Song was sent to Bangkok Hospital in Thailand.

Bangkok Hospital immediately rescued Mr. Song. The doctor found out that Mr. Song's middle cerebral artery was occluded, and his left hemisphere tissue was infarcted in a large area, with severe edema in his brain and sharp increase in intracranial pressure. On February 26th, the doctor performed craniotomy on Mr. Song, and the operation went smoothly. After the operation, Mr. Song lived in the ICU ward, and the daily cost was tens of thousands of yuan.

Because Mr. Song didn't buy insurance for himself on this trip abroad, he has to bear all the medical expenses and charter flights he spent abroad.

Mr. Song's family informed their relatives in China about his illness and entrusted them to find Gong Nianchun, the chief physician of neurosurgery in Wuhan Third Hospital, because their family and Gong Nianchun have been old friends for more than 2 years. More than 2 years ago, Gong Nianchun cured Mr. Song's daughter-in-law's illness and won the trust of their family. "I hope to listen to Dr. Gong's advice on this important matter."

The family wanted to transfer Mr. Song back to Wuhan No.3 Hospital for follow-up treatment, and named Dr. Gong Nianchun as the attending physician of Mr. Song.

Dr. Gong Nianchun, 66, is the founder of the neurosurgery department of the Third Hospital of Wuhan and a professor at the Medical College of Wuhan University.

on March 9th, Dr. Gong Nianchun introduced that Mr. Song's condition had stabilized under the careful treatment of Bangkok Hospital in Thailand. The hospital agreed to transfer the old man back to China for treatment at an appropriate time, but it required the concerted efforts of various departments in China and Thailand to complete a series of procedures.

The staff of Wuhan No.3 Hospital and Bangkok Hospital of Thailand reached an agreement on how to send the old man back to China after several rounds of consultations. The civil aviation and transportation departments of China and Thailand have also given great support. "It can be said that it is a green light all the way."

The special medical plane to take Mr. Song home took off from don mueang international airport, Bangkok at noon on March 8, and arrived at Wuhan Tianhe Airport at about 4: 5 pm that day.

This special medical plane is a twin-engine turbofan jet, equipped with all kinds of advanced medical equipment and Thai professional medical staff.

The ambulance in the Third Hospital has been waiting for a long time. The airport opened up a green channel for the medical staff of the two countries to pick up and drop off Mr. Song. Pick up the patient and the ambulance galloped all the way.

The ambulance arrived at the Third Hospital, and after all the handover procedures were completed, the medical staff sent by Thailand set foot on the return journey.

The family said that Mr. Song was 82 years old, so it was inconvenient to receive treatment abroad. Family members can't stay in Thailand for a long time, and the cost of treatment is really high. The medical expenses for more than 1 days are nearly 5, yuan, plus the charter fee of more than 4, yuan, which costs about 1 million before and after. More importantly, their whole family believed in the level and skills of doctors in China, especially their old friend Dr. Gong Nianchun.

Dr. Gong Nianchun said that at present, Mr. Song is still in a coma, but his hands and legs can move. "There is a great possibility that he will regain consciousness."

At present, rehabilitation doctors in Wuhan Third Hospital massage Mr. Song for rehabilitation treatment every day, and nutritionists prepare nutritious meals suitable for eating.

21 years ago, Mr. Song's daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby boy by caesarean section. However, the wound did not heal for a long time after operation, and symptoms such as immobility of legs appeared, and many hospitals did not find out the cause. Mr. Song found Dr. Gong Nianchun through a friend.

Gong Nianchun said that in those years, after receiving Mr. Song's help information, he personally went to the door to find out the situation. After communication, he suspected that Mr. Song's daughter-in-law's lumbar nerve was damaged, and suggested to have an MRI examination. "At that time, only a handful of hospitals such as Liyuan Hospital had MRI examination equipment." Sure enough, the examination results showed that there was a benign fibroma in the lumbar spinal canal of her daughter-in-law, which was slightly larger than a quail egg. The tumor compressed the nerves of her legs, causing weakness in her legs.

Gong Nianchun personally had a fibroma removal operation. Four months later, Mr. Song's daughter-in-law went to work. From then on, Mr. Song and Gong Nianchun became good friends. According to the staff of Wuhan No.3 Hospital, Gong Nianchun retired six years ago and is now re-employed by the hospital.
