After being rushed to the Commune Hospital in a panic, the doctor on duty performed a brief examination. Due to limited medical equipment, however, the doctor could not determine the specific cause of the patient's coma and suggested it would be best to send him to the County Hospital for further evaluation.
The group discussed it and decided to send him over that same night. The Commune Hospital arranged for a tractor to transport them, and one person was left behind to return and report the news. Since Old Madam He refused to pay, the production brigade headquarters had to cover the costs upfront, with the agreement that it would be deducted from Old He’s Family’s work points at the end of the year.
After the group arrived at the County Hospital, it was another round of hustle and bustle. Ultimately, the hospital concluded that the patient was physically frail and required complete bed rest. However, those who accompanied him reported that the patient had previously been in excellent health and had never experienced such a condition before.
