Of the three groups of people scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, the first to show up were Dr. Kevin Vega and his patient.
At 9:40 in the morning, the group of four arrived at the Affiliated Hospital.
A little after eleven in the morning, Yan Feifan finished two intraspinal tumor puncture and injection procedures and hurried over to the Little Red House. There, he met Mr. Vega and the patient he had brought with him.
The patient was an American woman with light reddish hair, forty-one years old this year.
She was accompanied by her husband and son.
Yan Feifan exchanged a few words with the patient, advising her to rest well today and tomorrow to get over her jet lag, so she would be in good spirits for her surgery on Friday.
Afterward, he invited Mr. Vega to join him for lunch.
Inside the Little Red House was a small, elegant restaurant.
It provided Western-style meals for the foreign patients treated there and their families.
Of course, Chinese food was also available.
