Huntfox News: Recently, our website received a call from an enthusiastic individual at the Henan Provincial Thoracic Hospital in Zhengzhou. The caller reported that there was a villager named Yin Xiaosan from Dayin Village, Yonghong Town, Xixian County, Xinyang City, residing at that hospital. Three members of his family had died due to diabetes, and now Yin Xiaosan needs to undergo a lung removal surgery as a result of lung perforations caused by diabetes. His father, in his sixties, is collecting scrap to raise the funds needed for his son’s treatment. Yin Xiaosan, lying in the hospital bed, wore a look of helpless melancholy (Photos by Song Jiachen and Guo Tao). On February 28th, our reporters managed to get in touch with this young man named Yin Xiaosan at the Henan Thoracic Hospital; he is 35 years old this year. According to Yin Xiaosan, his mother’s name was Yang Jifang. Their parents raised the three brothers throughout their lives. His mother passed away from diabetes when he was 12 years old, and his two older brothers also died of diabetes 23 years ago. Now, only his father, who is in his sixties, remains by his side. He suffered a severe lung infection in his childhood; after recovering from that, he developed diabetes. Over the years, Yin Xiaosan’s family has been repeatedly struck by illness, placing a heavy burden on them and leaving them deeply in debt. On February 15, after the Spring Festival, Yin Xiaosan’s lung condition worsened, requiring a lung resection surgery. After being admitted to the hospital, tests showed that the surgery could only be performed once his diabetes was under stable control. The hospital had no choice but to start by providing him with treatment to control his diabetes. Yin Xiaosan told our website’s editorial team that he has been in the hospital for 12 days. With the careful treatment provided by the hospital staff, his blood sugar levels have become more stable. However, the more than 10,000 yuan that his father had saved by collecting scrap metal has been almost completely spent. I heard from the relevant people that the cost for lung surgery treatment is another 60,000 to 70,000 yuan! ?“The reimbursement rate for treatment under the new rural cooperative medical system is fairly good locally, but the reimbursement amount for treatments at provincial-level hospitals is very low! I’m worried about the cost of this surgery now, but my father is even more worried! ”When Yin Xiaosan said these words, our news team members saw tears in his eyes. Extend your hand of great compassion and seek social assistance; saving a life is worth building seven stupas.
