Beijing-based Plastic Surgery Institution's Weibo
On February 27th, there was new progress regarding the case of [a teenage boy setting a 17-year-old girl on fire after being rejected], resulting in her disfigurement: A Beijing-based plastic surgery medical institution proposed to unconditionally and free-of-charge provide any assistance to the victim, Zhou Yan. The Weibo Broadcast reporter contacted Zhou Yan's legal representative, Li Zhi Xian, and the head of a Beijing medical institution, Li Bin, about this matter. Lawyer Li Zhi Xian stated that the current priority is to conduct functional treatment for Zhou Yan, which will take over a year. At that point, they will consider whether to accept the assistance. On the other hand, Li Bin clearly stated after being informed of Lawyer Li Zhi Xian’s response, "[As long as the Zhou family is willing to accept the treatment for nasal augmentation, we will take full responsibility.]"
Recently, the incident involving [a teenager from Hefei setting a 17-year-old girl on fire after being rejected] has garnered widespread attention online. After media reported that [the Zhou family chose to discharge Zhou Yan from the hospital due to their inability to afford the enormous treatment fees and decided to treat her conservatively at home], Li Bin, the general manager of a Beijing-based plastic surgery medical institution, posted on Weibo: "[We can provide treatment assistance. Everyone's help in making contact is appreciated.]". Subsequently, the Weibo Broadcast reporter contacted the blogger to understand the details of the promised assistance. The other party indicated, "[All treatments the girl needs will be provided free of charge. We have experienced burn doctors who will do everything in their power to treat the girl. From skin grafting surgery to the best plastic surgery, we will arrange the best doctors.]". When asked about specific treatment costs, Li Bin clearly stated, "[All treatments being free is definite, but the exact amount cannot be estimated because the doctors have not conducted a consultation with the girl, so her condition cannot be determined. Moreover, this treatment will be a very long process, involving many aspects.]"
Regarding this, Zhou Yan's legal representative, Li Zhi Xian, emphasized in an interview with Weibo Broadcast that currently, the most critical thing for Zhou Yan is the neck skin graft surgery 7 or 8 months later and the ongoing functional treatment and recovery lasting one and a half years. [Future plastic surgeries have not been considered yet, but hospitals will be chosen based on professional capabilities.]
Facing netizens' doubts about whether the medical institution is using this opportunity for advertising and questioning its professional ability, Li Bin responded on Weibo, "[We may not be able to succeed, but we will definitely try our best; we may not need to use this as an advertisement, but we must promote good deeds!]."
By the time the reporter filed this report, the medical institution had entrusted its legal advisor to make contact with the Zhou family, and both parties began direct communication. The Weibo Broadcast reporter will continue to follow up on subsequent developments.
