How kindness and swift action of strangers saved life of sick Chinese girl
Social media appeal led to the quick delivery of drugs bought in Hong Kong to leukaemia patient’s bedside in southwest China
A mother has thanked people for answering an appeal on social media and saving her seriously ill daughter’s life by rushing a drug bought in Hong Kong to her hospital bed in southwestern China, a newspaper reported.
The daughter Song Shurui, 17, has leukaemia and had a bone-marrow transplant in December, Chengdu Commercial Daily reported.
However, Song got a severe lung infection after the surgery, giving her a fever and putting her life in danger.
Her mother Dai Qinjia was quoted as saying doctors at the hospital in Chengdu gave her daughter little chance of recovery and moved her to intensive care.
Dai maintained a vigil at her bedside in the following weeks, refusing to believe there was no hope, the article said.
