THE Ministry of Health has sent another four medical experts to Wenzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, to hold consultation on the cases of Xiang Weiyi, the two-year-old survivor of the deadly July 23 train collision, and another seriously injured victim.
These doctors from trauma, neurology, rehabilitation and sports medicine have left for Wenzhou this morning. They would assess their conditions and figure out the best treatment plans for them, Xinhua News Agency reported today.
The ministry already sent a doctor from Beijing's Jishuitan Hospital to operate on Xiang yesterday, the fifth surgery the girl went through after she was pulled alive from the wreckage 22 hours after the crash.
The surgery went well, but Xiang is very unlikely to gain full function of both legs as too much dead muscle and nerves have been removed, Xiang Yuyu, the girl's uncle, told today's Guangzhou Daily.
Xiang Weiyi will be transferred to Shanghai's Huashan Hospital this week for further treatment, her uncle said.
Xiang Yuyu published an open letter on his blog to appeal for medical experts to help save the girl's legs. She was trapped with her legs crushed for 22 hours. Her parents were among the 40 killed in the collision.
