"Xiaonan? Why are you here?"
As soon as Huang Qingjiang finished speaking, the middle-aged man on the hospital bed stretched his neck, looked at him happily and asked:
"Yes, aren't you on vacation today?"
The other two patients in the room turned to look at him.
"Why do you all know that I have a day off today? I wonder if I haven't been to the hematology department for a long time?"
Ling Yao touched his head,
"I am accompanying my friend to see the child. I live in 7013 and I am preparing to find a landlord."
"Wait a minute, there are only two rooms left. Let your friend go over and wait first. You can stay and help us, and we can go there together later."
Huang Qingjiang responded.
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes:
"Have you forgotten? You roared so loudly in the lobby on Saturday that all of us who went to the emergency room heard it!! You looked very busy. Everyone listened to you calling the leader from a distance and gave you three days' rest. I think it’s a holiday, so I went to find out for you the next day! Sure enough, I got a holiday! Haha!!”
Ling Yao listened to Coke and said:
"Then I'm famous, right? Fortunately, you all heard me shouting, and even if you asked me to inquire, the leader might think it would be shameful not to let him go!"
Huang Qingjiang smiled and nodded his head:
"You are the only one who dares to act like a monkey. No one else would dare to yell like that."
"Sister, please stop laughing at me. I was just anxious to get angry and didn't care so much. They can't do anything to me anyway. Oh, by the way, I asked my friends to go over and wait."
Liu Guangyue left. The middle-aged uncle suddenly raised his neck and asked:
"Who's the father of the child in 7013? I've met him several times, and every time he comes alone. I heard that my wife passed away early, and she spent a lot of money on treatment. I didn't expect that the child left behind would be very sick. of."
An old lady next to her also nodded:
"I heard it's blood cancer. It's expensive and difficult to treat."
"Leukemia? Acute?"
Ling Yao turned to ask Huang Qingjiang.
"You are the only ones who know more. You gossip with people every day, right?"
Huang Qingjiang glanced sideways at the uncle and said to Ling Yao:
"Yes, acute lymphoblastic leukemia is most common in children."
"It's better than others. This one has a higher healing rate."
"It's useless to be high. Anyway, you all know, so I said it. She was discovered late, and it's difficult to cure her! Her father is the only relative in this family, and the bone marrow is not a match. If you want to find a match, you have to It's just a matter of luck. And I don't think this family can afford the cost."
Huang Qingjiang shook his head with some emotion,
"It's very rare that her father can survive until now. Several children in the department can no longer afford to take them back. If they are taken back, they will have to wait to die."
"This is not a common thing in hospitals. I have heard about it. There is an old man with advanced gastric cancer living next door. His family also has no money. The hospital gave them grace for several days and did not make up for the expenses. I am afraid it will be necessary today. Are you driving people away? Poor people can't afford to get sick!"
A fat man next to him interjected.
Ling Yao blinked:
"Is there such a thing? I haven't even heard of it."
"You haven't been on this floor recently, so of course you haven't heard of it. That family owes hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, and people often come to the hospital to press them, making a lot of noise, but we don't say anything. Now even the hospital is taking credit .
"Everyone also knows that his granddaughter is studying in college. No matter how much the little girl earns, she has done her best to repay ten thousand to twenty thousand. She has also raised money from the department to supplement her. But even good intentions cannot withstand long-term debts. . This little money really can’t fill the hole.”
Huang Qingjiang shook his head,
"Forget about the cost of previous chemotherapy, but his disease is still a bottomless pit, and the hospital can't let him stay for free forever. If you are willing, you can donate a sum to her, but this person will definitely move away. Okay, you are recovering well, and you will be discharged from the hospital in a while. There is no difference between staying here and going home."
The middle-aged uncle nodded in thanks. Next to him was the voice of Daoxi.
Huang Qingjiang took Ling Yao to see a few more inpatients, and casually said a few words about the condition of Liu Guangyue's child on the way. Ling Yao summed it up as follows: if you have money, you can live; if you have bone marrow, you can be cured; if you don't have money, you can wait to die.
It sounds heartless, but this is the norm for most long-term residents in the inpatient unit. In the eyes of their doctors, being able to spend money to sell one's life is considered lucky, and there is no time to lament.
What Huang Qingjiang did was just a routine ward inspection, and he soon arrived at 7013. Ling Yao lowered his head and finished writing the last note of the previous patient, then raised his head and saw the little girl from Liu Guangyue's family.
The little girl looked like she was not yet old enough to go to school. She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, had a short hair, and was holding a storybook in her hand. Her face was pale, her figure was thin, and the smile on her face looked particularly weak. It looked like she was suffering from illness.
Seeing the stranger Ling Yao approaching, the little girl seemed a little nervous and secretly moved towards where Liu Guangyue was sitting.
Liu Guangyue obviously knew Huang Qingjiang, and he immediately stood up respectfully, freeing up the position at the head of the bed.
Huang Qingjiang nodded to him, then walked forward with a smile and touched the little girl's head:
"Auntie is here to see you. How are you feeling today? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Ling Yao did not approach, but stood at the end of the bed holding the record book so as not to scare the little girl.
"I'm very happy today because my dad came to see me. I'm just a little dizzy. Dad said this is normal..."
Dizziness, fatigue, easy bleeding, poor appetite, and bone pain are indeed typical clinical symptoms of children with leukemia. Huang Qingjiang continued to inquire about his physical condition in detail, and Liu Guangyue sometimes translated words that the children could not express clearly to her. Ling Yao compiled and recorded these questions and answers in his notebook.
When Huang Qingjiang finished asking and took the booklet from Ling Yao's hand to look at it carefully, Liu Guangyue couldn't help but ask:
"Doctor, is Xiao Qin getting better or worse now?"
"The condition is relatively stable. Let's continue chemotherapy until the bone marrow is found. Your child was in serious condition when he was sent here. Although the most difficult period has been overcome, the chemotherapy is still estimated to take two years. It's just done now. For half a year, it’s best to continue to persevere.”
Ling Yao was stunned for a moment and looked at Huang Qingjiang. Huang Qingjiang also noticed Ling Yao's gaze, but shook his head:
"She knows it, it doesn't matter. Qin Qin is very brave, right?"
Liu Guangyue pursed his lips, feeling a little complicated. Firstly, it is complicated because he is busy with work and can only leave his daughter to take care of himself, so that her daughter has to face these things by herself; secondly, it is complicated because Nanbutu notices such small things just by chance.
Huang Qingjiang comforted the little girl a few more words, and told Liu Guangyue some precautions, as well as the characteristics and possible problems of each stage of chemotherapy. Liu Guangyue knew that these were not things that the attending physician would usually say to him in person, but that he was given extra explanations for Nan Botu's sake. Naturally, he was deeply grateful and wished he could memorize every word in his words. .
Ling Yao listened to Huang Qingjiang's words for a while, but in his heart he was thinking about how Wu Jinglong's current research results could be reproduced and proved using modern medical technology. If he wanted to approve such a large experimental project, even if his own early investment accounted for the majority, he would always need some simple results to support it.
When he came to his senses, he found that the little girl was quietly looking at him.
It's like a puppy seeing a stranger for the first time. It's scared and curious. It shrinks its head and keeps looking at it with wide eyes. It's so cute.
It’s rare to find a well-behaved and sickly human cub! Ling Yao resisted his bad thoughts of teasing the child and looked away.
Hey...he needs to maintain the stability of an adult! Don't keep thinking about it!
"Now that the adults are here, let's take the child out for a walk. We can't stay bored in the room all the time. She is the only one on weekdays, and we don't trust her to go out by herself. We will make an order in the afternoon and check the specific situation."
Huang Qingjiang added one last sentence, turned to Ling Yao and said,
"Just follow them. Anyway, you are on holiday today, and I always feel uneasy about having to call you. By the way, you'd better take off your white coat, lest Luo Hongxin sees you later and comes to work with you again."
Ling Yao has always been kind to innocuous little things:
"I'll go downstairs in a moment and I'll change on the way."
Huang Qingjiang had other wards to patrol, so he hurriedly walked out the door. Liu Guangyue, on the other hand, supported his daughter and prepared to take the child downstairs for some fresh air. Ling Yao sent Huang Qingjiang to the door in a polite manner, but when the two of them stepped out, they heard a noise in the corridor.
"what happened?"
There was a little more worry in Huang Qingjiang's eyebrows. There are many patients in the inpatient department who need to rest, and such noisy scenes rarely occur; if there are, it is probably because someone is making trouble.
"They're also in the oncology department over there, right? But this is the first time I've seen them make such a fuss."
Ling Yao frowned as he looked at the gathering crowd. Medical oncology refers to cancer patients who do not need surgery and are treated with drugs and chemotherapy. Most of them are in the middle and late stages and can only take medicine to hang on for a few more days. Not to mention doctors persuading patients to give up treatment, it is common for patients to die suddenly. The patient's family members are unable to accept the bad news and suffer emotional breakdown. This is a common scenario here.
However, I heard the voices coming from the other end: "As a doctor, you have no medical ethics", "You are forcing us to leave even though there is still hope", "You have lost your conscience just to make money", "Wang Youbo, you are corrupt and still refuse to save my grandfather, your conscience is broken." "Been eaten by a dog" "Tomorrow I will publish a newspaper accusation against you murderers" "Is there any law in the world anymore" and other crying and howling accusations, Ling Yao felt that this was most likely caused by a doctor. .
Ling Yao also saw a group of people in white coats standing at the door of the ward, with embarrassed and aggrieved faces on their faces, but suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Is that room occupied by the late-stage gastric cancer patient who is in debt, as you mentioned?"
Huang Qingjiang slapped his head:
"Yes, the person standing over there is Dr. Wang, who is in charge. Seeing that they are bringing finances, they are probably here to drive people away. That little girl usually looks gentle and quiet, why is she speaking so unpleasantly now. If I can’t pay, it’s our hospital’s fault.”
Ling Yao thinks so too. From what Huang Qingjiang described before, this female college student did not have a harsh and harsh personality, but was instead modest and gentle, which made many people in the hospital feel sympathy for her.
Although it is said that people's personalities may change when facing major events, this family has been in debt for many days, and the hospital has not issued a notice. Even if she is in pain, it is not to the point where she cannot accept it and curses her in public, right?
Unless someone stimulated her with something else and changed her mood from sadness to anger; and someone supported her and made her feel that she was not only reasonable but also strong enough to fight against the hospital.
Ling Yao's intuition was not good, so he asked Huang Qingjiang to avoid the limelight, called the security guard, and then silently took out his mobile phone.
He didn't notice it after turning off the notification tone, but now he realized that the text message box on his phone was almost full.
Click on the first item:
[From: We are all brothers, how could I pigeonhole you]
[No sir, isn’t this considered medical trouble? Doesn't that count? Doesn't that count? ? You can compete with Du Fei in hugging a cat]
[From: I really have no recommendation votes]
[Although this is an ancient article, and hospitals in those days were not known to be chaotic, but I have only heard of deliberately prescribing extra check-ups and expensive medicines, but I have never heard of patients being allowed to siphon off their hospital bills. Are you sure the protagonist is not deliberately trying to make someone angry? 】
[From: The Olympic bid was finally successful]
[If you have the time, why don’t you cure the problem yourself? You’re here to help the harem “seek justice” under the guise of disrupting the normal order of the hospital? 】
Ling Yao was about to cry but had no tears: I'm so numb. As expected, the protagonist is indispensable in such an occasion.
To be honest, he didn't really want to confront the protagonist on such an occasion, especially when he wasn't sure whether Liu Guangyue and Lin Tianyu knew each other. But how could the "plot" let go of his "villain"? His desire to escape had just begun when Doctor Wang, who was surrounded by the crowd, suddenly lit up his eyes and shouted his name:
"Xiao Nan! Why are you here? Come here, let's judge everyone! We are doing things according to hospital regulations, but they insist on saying that I embezzled patients' debts. Is this what you say?"
Ling Yao had a dark look on his face. The whole hospital knew that Lin Tianyu had a conflict with him, and Wang Youbo happened to be from the vice president's faction. When he suddenly called him, he definitely wanted to draw him out to antagonize him.
But what can he do? No matter how awesome his background is, he is actually an intern in his workplace. How can he disobey his seniors in the hospital for such a seemingly insignificant thing?
Moreover, he had to pretend to be stupid, walk over like he didn't know anything, and asked with a blank look on his face:
"Dr. Wang, what's wrong? Did something happen? I'm on vacation today. I'll come back to make up some materials and I'll be back in a while. My teacher just happened to be here in the past two days, and I want to take him out for a walk."
"It won't take you long! You have been working in the hospital for a while. You said that the matter in our hospital was not handled in accordance with the rules and procedures? Especially in this stall, it is even less likely that corruption will happen! They will handle it themselves. Without paying the money, the hospital refused to move despite repeated notices. We were forced to have the shamelessness to evict people, but instead a shit bowl was shoved in my face. I am so aggrieved!"
Wang Youbo's voice sounded bold, but in fact it attracted everyone's attention for Ling Yao. Sure enough, Lin Tianyu, who was standing aside, also turned to look at him.
Ouch, that little face is quite full of righteous indignation. It seems that he really feels that he is righteous.
Thinking of Lin Tianyu's information channels in the black market, Ling Yao really believed that Wang Youbo had done something behind the scenes that could not be revealed openly.
However, one code equals one code, and the money owed to the hospital reaches the point where the hospital has to evict people, and they still want to hang on, even if eight hundred Lin Tianyu comes over, it will not be reasonable.
Before Ling Yao could say anything, Lin Tianyu's face became even more angry:
"Why do you find someone who has a conflict with me to judge? Can't everyone see what your intentions are?! You are wearing doctor's white coats, but all of you are people who have fallen in the eyes of money! You know that her grandfather has terminal gastric cancer, If you leave the hospital, you can only wait for death, and you will not be allowed to wait for a few more days! They say that hospitals are a place to treat illnesses and save lives, and doctors must also have medical ethics. Where is your medical ethics! Is your hospital really treating illnesses and saving lives!?"
Ling Yao was already used to Lin Tianyu's appearance of firing a map cannon, so he turned his head and looked at the girl standing next to him. The little girl Lin Tianyu was protecting was crying so hard that she looked like she had been bullied. Looking at her facial features, they are gentle and well-behaved. It’s no wonder that many doctors and nurses felt soft-hearted for him.
In fact, what happened this time, in the final analysis, was all caused by this poor disease. The patients are poor, but the hospital is not a charity organization or a wealthy country. Although Ling Yao did not agree with her behavior, after all, he was her relative, and it was understandable to be paranoid. But...
"Uh... let me ask a digression first. What is your relationship with the patient's family? Girlfriend? I thought you were talking to the eldest lady of the Zhou family. Are you sure what you said can represent her position? Oh, It’s best for her to answer this question herself.”
Ling Yao didn't mean to cause trouble by saying this. It's really not uncommon in hospitals for patients' friends to "stand up for others" and cause a big fuss. In the end, after the police were called to pursue accountability, the patient and his friends began to blame each other. It was the other person's fault. No matter what you think, you end up making a fuss that is embarrassing for everyone. Having this question can be considered as a way to clarify things.
Ding Ling'er's face suddenly turned pale, and finally she responded submissively under the eyes of everyone:
"I, I am not his girlfriend. But, he is here to help me, I believe him..."
Ling Yao rubbed his hands.
In this case, he would open his mouth to Lin Tianyu.
==This must be placed in the main text==
First of all, friends from Henan and Hebei, please take care and don’t go out unless necessary. Everyone should stay safe.
Then, friends who live in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, typhoon fireworks have recently landed, please stock up on water and food √ (I have already been urged to stock up on several buckets of instant noodles hahh)
In addition, friends in Nanjing should also be careful about the new coronavirus and pay attention to protection. I read in the news that many of the people infected this time are people who have been vaccinated, so don’t think that you will be fine just because you have been vaccinated. You must wear a mask in the near future qwqqq
(I originally didn’t want to write an update so early, but it’s not a problem to just care about everyone without writing the main text - so I coded a few thousand words and put some personal stuff here L (^q^) = 333 slipped away)
