Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 283 Why are you fighting for such a small amount of money?

At this time, the men's basketball team leader Kuang Lubin must have noticed the situation here and took the initiative to come over.

Liu Yudong and Liu Yudong, who were already cautious, became even more nervous in an instant.

"Hello, Doctor Chen." Kuang Lubin spoke awkward English and took the lead in shaking hands with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had never seen him before, so he shook hands first, and then asked him strangely how he knew him.

Kuang Lubin explained with a smile: "Dr. Chen is so famous, how could I not know about it, and Vice President Yao has mentioned your name more than once, saying that when you went to Shanghai before, you made a lot of constructive suggestions. He gained a lot. We also held special internal meetings to discuss it more than once and felt that it benefited a lot. ”

In the new team of the Basketball Association that was re-elected in April this year, he is the deputy secretary-general, and Yao Songping is one of the vice-presidents.

When meeting to discuss the development of basketball, Yao Songping mentioned Chen Yu more than once, saying that the basketball concepts in the United States are advanced and so on.

When Yao Songping was mentioned, Chen Yu understood and nodded, his eyes still fell on Liu Yudong in front of him.

If Baggio's injury can be treated as a disabled person, then the guy in front of him is a disabled person!

But he is not only active, but also playing high-intensity games, which is simply risking his life.

And in the right knee of the guy in front of me, at a glance, there were loose bodies everywhere, and due to the push of pus, blood and fluid, some gathered together to form cysts.

Then came the right knee, which was no worse than the left knee.

As for himself, because his wife is a doctor, he feels that he can still hold on, and because he is a soldier, he can't get out of the line of fire even if he is slightly injured. He always feels that he can still fight, and if he endures it for a while, he can play the game. He just keeps putting it off, in a daze. I have persisted until now.

There are also loose bodies.

When the joints move, it is like there are stones in the middle of the bones, which are constantly rubbing against the bones, causing greater damage.

"How old are you this year?" Chen Yu asked in Chinese.

Liu Yudong didn't seem to expect that Chen Yu knew Chinese. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied: "I'm 32 now."

Liu Yudong smiled bitterly. He was injured all the time. The team doctor had been taking care of him, but there were too many games and he couldn't find time for surgery. Moreover, the team doctor also said that even if he did have surgery, it might not be good. The problem Still there.

The collateral ligament has also been torn, followed by bursitis, joint cavity damage, and severe cartilage wear. At a glance, the entire joint cavity is a mess, filled with fluid, pus and blood.

His knees, as if they had been hit by a car, are still stable and can continue to walk and play. It is simply a medical miracle.

Chen Yu understood. The last time he went to China, he felt that the team doctors in the professional leagues were not experienced enough and their treatment was not professional enough. Even the team, as well as the players themselves, did not pay enough attention to injuries.

As for the Achilles tendon, there is obvious inflammation in the Achilles tendon of the left leg.

Chen Yu nodded, pointed to his knee and asked, "How did the team doctor diagnose your knee?"

Therefore, Liu Yudong didn't know how to describe his knee injury. He sighed and said, "It's quite serious anyway, but there has been no good way to deal with it."

With such a serious knee injury, and being a professional athlete, Chen Yu didn't believe that the team doctor didn't diagnose and handle it.

These loose bodies are actually small fragments produced by cartilage and meniscal tears after knee joint injury. Under the nutrition of synovial fluid, they gradually calcify and ossify. If not treated, they will remain free in the joint.

The collateral ligament of the left knee should have been severed, and the meniscus was completely torn, which caused direct contact between his femur and tibia, and the cartilage was also completely worn away.

Chen Yu felt that he should sit in a wheelchair now, otherwise his knees would hurt like a knife with every step he took.

And I feel like I can keep going.

If you are unlucky, it will get stuck in the joint seam, and joint locking will occur.

Many players even feel that injuries are inevitable and they just have to endure it.

Chen Yu couldn't figure out the reason and couldn't understand it, but Chen Yu really had some respect for the guy in front of him.

So Chen Yu said seriously: "If I were you, for the sake of your next career, I would choose to take a long, long break. In your situation, you really need half a year or even a year." It takes time to heal and recover before you can regain your health.”

Chen Yu said it seriously, and Liu Yudong was also shocked.

It's not because of how serious his injury is, but because it takes half a year to treat.

How can we compete then?

He is the breadwinner of the family and the main source of income.

And what should we do with the team, and what should we do with the national team?
He opened his mouth to defend, but Chen Yu turned to Kuang Lubin and said: "Mr. Kuang, his injury is very serious. It can be said that he is not qualified to participate in the competition. You really shouldn't let him play in the competition anymore. You can ask me for treatment. I I will find a way to cure him."

Kuang Lubin was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew that Liu Yudong's injury was serious, but from Chen Yu's tone, it seemed that it was too serious to compete.

But these people are here, so they can't really sit on the bench and not play.

Moreover, it was Chen Yu, an outsider who made the suggestion.

This made Kuang Lubin not sure how to answer for a while. After thinking quickly, he could only follow Chen Yu's words and said: "Doctor Chen, how exactly will he be treated? By the way, how much will it cost."

If you come to the United States for medical treatment, you should go to a famous doctor like Chen Yu, which should cost a lot of money.

Chen Yu said: "You will definitely need surgery, both knees, and then as I said, it will take half a year to a year of recovery to fully recover." Ligament repair in both knees, microfracture surgery to repair cartilage, meniscus If so, repair is no longer of much significance, and meniscal transplantation can be considered directly.

Then there are loose bodies in the joint space, which must be removed.

Of course, compared to the previous surgery, this is already a minor problem.

After doing this, you have to lie in bed for at least four to five months, and then start rehabilitation training as planned, which may take half a year to a year.

"As for the cost." Chen Yu made a simple estimate: "It may cost more than one million US dollars."

"How many?"

Before Kuang Lubin could respond, Liu Yudong exclaimed in fright.

We know that medical treatment is expensive in the United States, but an operation costs more than one million U.S. dollars, a total of seven to eight million dollars. This is too scary.

Even if I sell him, I still can’t cure him!
Kuang Lubin was also silent, and said helplessly: "Dr. Chen, the fee is too high."

Chen Yu frowned.

High?

This level of surgery can be done all over the United States, and even if the cost of the surgery alone is one million US dollars, there may not be any hospitals willing to do it.

Not to mention the long recovery period, how much does it cost for Chen Yu to care for an athlete for a day? Considering that the fee is more than one million, it is really considering that he is Chinese and gave him a big discount.

Jackson next to him must have seen the violent reaction of the two people and asked in a low voice what was going on.

"It's a matter of cost." Chen Yu explained hurriedly.

Jackson was stunned and said strangely: "He should be the best basketball player in China. Can't he afford so much money?"

Being able to lead the team to the finals and playing on par with Yao Ming, they should be the best players in Chinese basketball no matter what.

Even though basketball income in China is generally not high, with team wages and commercial endorsements, more than one million U.S. dollars shouldn't be too much. You should be willing to give up this amount of money for your own career.

Chen Yu thought about it. If he can make it to the national team, his income should not be low.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu said: "Is it a matter of cost? You don't have medical insurance in the United States. If you pay it all out of pocket, it would be a bit higher. But my charges are still very reasonable. And you are a professional athlete, so your income should be pretty good, right?"

Not to mention anything else, as for Yao Ming, when he was preparing to sign him, Brian had inquired clearly. For example, Yao Ming's contract salary with the Eastern Team was 700,000 per year. This was just salary, and there were various bonuses. Well, to sum it up, there should be one million a year.

He is also the top player in China, so he should have endorsements.

Calculated at more than one million a year, Liu Yudong is 32 years old and should be able to make a lot of money in his ten-year career.

More than one million U.S. dollars is too much, but it can be negotiated and some deductions will be made.

When asked about his income, Liu Yudong simply shook his head and said: "My income is not bad, I have two or three hundred thousand a year, but my family expenses are also high, and I really can't save any money. Now you have more than one million US dollars, I really want it." Not coming out.”

He looked embarrassed. More than one million U.S. dollars was really an astronomical figure.

Chen Yu thought for a moment and said: "Well, my clinic has some relief funds. I can help you reduce half of the treatment cost, just five hundred thousand US dollars. You should be able to receive this treatment for two to three hundred thousand US dollars a year." Fee."

Although it is a private clinic, considering its external reputation and the need for tax deductions, it still needs some charitable assistance.

Not much, only half a million US dollars per year, but because he is Chinese and has the spirit of persisting in the game despite being injured like this, Chen Yu decided to reduce his fee by half.

And at the end of the day, this is your own clinic, so if you do it for free, no one can say anything.

But after all, it was their first meeting and they could reduce the fee by half. Chen Yu felt that he was already very proud.

Liu Yudong was stunned and shook his head hastily: "No, I don't have two or three hundred thousand US dollars a year, but two or three hundred thousand RMB a year."

"How many?"

Chen Yu was suddenly startled.

Are you kidding? A player at the same level as Yao Ming only earns 20,000 to 300,000 RMB a year. At the current exchange rate, wouldn't that only cost 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars a year?

It's too fake.

“What about commercial endorsements?”

Liu Yudong still shook his head: "My situation is special and I am not allowed to accept commercial endorsements, so I have no income in that area."

Chen Yu was completely confused.

Such a top player, who is also a national team player, earns 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars a year, which is too exaggerated.

Looking at Liu Yudong again, Chen Yu fell silent.

Although many times there are many off-field things in the game, such as national honor and personal ideals, this is a professional game after all. Since it is a profession, the effort should be equal to the reward, right?

Chen Yu wanted to ask Liu Yudong, what on earth are you fighting for when you are suffering from such pain and torture just for such a small amount of money?
