THE 12-year-old girl who took a five-hour taxi ride all the way from Jiangxi Province to Shanghai yesterday to treat her wounded eye received a surgery last night at Fudan University Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital.
Wu Meihui from Poyang City of Jiangxi had her right eye pricked by a bamboo stick while playing with her cousin on Wednesday afternoon. Local doctors said she should be sent to a major hospital in Shanghai or Guangzhou for more professional treatment within 24 hours.
