"Inpatient department of Renhe Hospital. Are you Ding Cuifang's family member?" The voice coming from the phone was a little urgent.
".It's me." Mr. Wang took a deep breath and prepared himself for the worst news.
"The patient just woke up"
"Are you awake?" This was beyond Mr. Wang's expectation.
His heart was wandering, as if it was floating down from a high place, but it did not fall to the ground: "My mother is really awake?"
He originally thought that his mother would remain in a coma and never wake up, look at him, and say a word to him.
"Yes, she is in good condition now and wants to meet her family."
"I'll be there soon!" Mr. Wang jumped out of the bed, his agility unbelievable for a man of his age.
His wife also woke up and asked, "Is this a call from the hospital? How is mom?"
"Mom, wake up!" Mr. Wang's voice was full of irrepressible joy. He opened the closet and quickly changed his clothes.
"I'll go too." She also stood up, but she was not as happy as Mr. Wang. She said hesitantly while looking for clothes:
"I'll go get the kids up."
"What are you asking them to do?" Mr. Wang was puzzled at first, then he understood: "You mean"
The wife nodded solemnly: "Mom suddenly woke up at this time, and she was anxious to see her family. Maybe she was..."
She swallowed those four words, but Mr. Wang already understood what she meant.
"Get the children up, hurry up, and dress more formally." He sighed: "At least, she can see us soberly and explain."
"No matter what, I still want to thank Expert Tao." His voice deepened.
Half an hour later, Duan He saw the neatly dressed Mr. Wang and his family.
He was stunned for a moment, and felt that this family's sense of ritual was too strong. They came to see the patient in the middle of the night, and they still cleaned up so neatly.
"The patient is in good condition." Duan He led them into the ward happily.
He witnessed the patient's recovery from crisis, and was naturally filled with joy and wind at his feet.
As soon as the old lady Ding Cuifang took the decoction, the wet rales in both lungs were significantly reduced, and the sputum was not only less, but also became thinner, which clearly showed that the infection in both lungs was under control.
Not to mention, the patient is still awake.
The CT scan she had just done showed that the hematoma in her brain had shrunk and the pressure on her nerves was gradually weakening.
Everything is moving towards the good.
It’s better to rely on Expert Tao’s accurate diagnosis and prescribe the right medicine!
Mr. Wang looked calm on the outside, but worried inside. He didn't notice Duan He's expression, but his wife did.
She felt that a doctor, even if he had seen many life and death, should not be so relaxed and at ease, as if he was waiting to watch a play, which was simply heartless.
"Duan He, Doctor Duan?" She looked at his nameplate seriously, and then nodded meaningfully.
"I remember you. Just wait."
After saying this, she looked sad and accompanied Mr. Wang into the ward with her two children.
A quarter of an hour later, the sounds in the ward changed from sobbing to howling. Duan He and the nurse, who were standing at the door, looked at each other and rushed into the room together.
The rhythm on the ECG monitor is stable, and all other indicators are normal. There is no problem at all.
Mr. Wang's eyes were red and swollen, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, but he managed to stand up: "Doctor, my mother has fainted again."
"Well, this is normal." Duan He said.
Of course it's normal. The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes away like a thread. The old man has been fighting the disease for so long and has taken so many kinds of antibiotics. His body must be extremely weak and needs to be nursed back to health slowly.
Being able to stay awake for as long as he did just now is pretty good.
"Yeah, it seems normal to you, but to us, it's already a separation of life and death." Mr. Wang's wife also stood up at this moment, with an unkind connotation in her words.
"What do you mean by this? What about life and death?" Duan He suddenly realized, did these family members misunderstand something?
Mr. Wang held his wife's shoulders: "Don't say that. The doctors have tried their best, and I am satisfied that Mom can wake up for a while and talk to us again."
Having said that, his voice was choked again.
Mother is leaving. The deepest and softest place in his heart will probably be hollowed out and can no longer be filled.
This kind of vacancy cannot be filled by wives and children.
But as his son, he had to be strong now and protect her on her final journey.
"How long can my mother hold on?" he asked Duan He.
"No, did you misunderstand something?" Duan He found an opening at this time and intervened.
"The patient's health has improved. As you can see, the tracheal intubation has been removed and the oxygenation is still at a good level."
"If we continue to treat her according to Expert Tao's plan, she will only get better day by day."
"Now I just fell asleep due to lack of energy. When I wake up tomorrow, I should be able to eat some liquid food. It should be light, just millet soup, don't make any greasy soup."
Duan He's mouth opened and closed in front of him, but Mr. Wang didn't hear what he said next at all. His mind was filled with the two sentences before:
The patient's condition has improved and will only get better day by day.
Suddenly, he jumped up and rushed to the hospital bed: "Mom, Mom, you are okay, you will get better, and you will continue to stay with us."
Duan He looked at the well-dressed Mr. Wang and cried like a child, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
Isn’t it just to help patients and their families and witness such miracles when I choose to practice medicine?
"I'm sorry, I just had a bad attitude, please don't mind." Mr. Wang's wife apologized and said, "Also, thank you, Doctor Duan."
"Thank me for nothing." Duan He shook his head: "The one you should thank is Expert Tao, if it weren't for her."
He did not continue. Expert Meng refused to admit this patient, and the matter had already spread in the hospital. If Expert Tao doesn't accept it, the outcome is doomed.
But Expert Tao accepted it. Not only did he receive it, but he immediately started to improve.
It only took one night to make a judgment. No wonder he was an honorary member of the Medical Association and was sitting in the expert consultation room.
Early in the morning, Meng Wen sat in the consulting room. He first brewed a pot of Phoenix Fir and took a sip. Then he picked up the newspaper and read it slowly.
The nurse knocked on the door and came in: "Expert Meng, have you heard? Yesterday's patient Ding Cuifang suddenly..."
"Why are you so anxious?" Meng Wen glanced at her from under his glasses and said calmly: "Tell me slowly, is the patient critically ill?"
