Chapter 946 "Filial" Child

Ma Hua walked slowly towards Ruijin Hospital. It's not that he doesn't want to walk fast, but that he really can't walk fast. He is already very weak as a patient with early and mid-stage lymphoma.

Basically, you have to take a break after walking ten meters.

If there is a miracle that cancer can be cured in this world, then there is only one terminal illness in this world that cannot be cured no matter what, and this terminal illness is called "poor".

The reality is cruel, and most of the evils in this world are accompanied by poverty. Because poverty can obliterate all conscience of a person.

Mahua is 60 years old, and his lymphoma was discovered half a year ago. At that time, he was still in the early stage of lymphoma. If he actively cooperates with the treatment, there is still hope for a cure.

But his family didn't want to gamble on this remote hope, because it would be too expensive to gamble on.

MCA is just an ordinary retired worker, with a monthly pension of only 3,000 yuan. The cost of treating lymphoma is simply unaffordable. But relying on willpower, he always persisted.

Maybe he figured it out today, or he wanted to survive, so he came to the hospital for treatment? Outsiders don't know.

The nurse at the service desk of Ruijin Hospital first spotted the old man who was sweating profusely and out of breath after entering the hospital.

The little nurse Chen Rui hurried forward to help Ma Hua: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I have lymphoma and I came to the hospital to see a doctor." After walking for such a long distance, Ma Hua felt a little weak.

As soon as Chen Rui heard that Ma Hua was a lymphoma patient and she was still so old, she immediately asked her companions to get Ma Hua a wheelchair.

"Grandpa, why didn't your family come?"

"I'm busy at work. I thought I could come alone, so I came alone."

"Then you registered?"

During the conversation between Chen Rui and Ma Hua, he learned that his youngest son had already made an appointment for Ma Hua to register an expert account online. Seeing that Ma Hua was weak and unable to move, Chen Rui helped him go through various procedures.

After completing the formalities and pushing Mahua into the specialist consultation room, Chen Rui went back to the information desk and whispered to the other nurses on duty: "This old man is really pitiful. No one in the family will come for such a serious illness."

"That's right. The women here are too unfilial."

The hospital is the place where you can best see the warmth and warmth of human relationships in this world. Because there are all kinds of life and death happening here every day.

Every day here, some people show the brilliance of human nature, and at the same time, some people show the ugliness of human nature. A human farce is constantly repeated here.

This is not the first case of MCA in Ruijin Hospital, nor will it be the last.

In the expert consultation room, Li Guohua, an oncologist from Ruijin Hospital, who can only visit the hospital two days a week, is seeing Ma Hua.

"Your lymphoma was discovered half a year ago. Why didn't you treat it? Now, after half a year, the situation must have deteriorated." Li Guohua looked at the hospital diagnosis certificate given to him by Mahua.

That was a medical diagnosis made at Renji Hospital half a year ago. In MCA's medical record card, apart from the diagnosis statement, there is no follow-up treatment statement.

This proves that MCA has not had any treatment in the past six months. Cancer lesions are very fast. Half a year if no treatment is carried out. That is enough to make an early benign tumor deteriorate into a malignant tumor.

Faced with Li Guohua's slightly reproachful questioning. But MCA can only say helplessly: "The family is poor and has no money. Cancer treatment is very expensive. It will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for any treatment."

"As a retired worker, I only earn 3,000 yuan a month. How can I afford such a disease?"

Poverty is the biggest obstacle to treating disease. As a doctor who has been practicing for decades, Li Guohua has seen a lot in this regard.

Especially in the face of diseases like cancer that require long-term treatment and high investment. Many simply cannot afford it.

MCA's decision to forego treatment after discovering cancer is not surprising. Li Guohua had many patients like this, and they disappeared after treatment. Not because they died. It's because they really don't have the money to carry out follow-up treatment.

One disease is enough to make a middle-class family impoverished.

However, it is relatively rare for people like Mahua to give up treatment first, and then turn around and be willing to accept treatment.

Li Guohua asked curiously: "Then why do you want to come here for treatment now?"

Ma Hua laughed. There was a trace of happiness on his face: "My children are still filial. They held a family meeting two days ago and unanimously asked me to come for treatment. Even if they sell everything, they must cure my illness. I didn't want to drag them down at the beginning, so I didn't Treatment. They are decisive now, and they want me to treat it."

"I originally thought that I am so old, and there is no cure for this disease. So what if I live a few more years? At that time, the money will be gone, and people will not be able to keep it. It is better to finally save the money and let the They had a good time."

After hearing what Ma Hua said, Li Guohua shook his head and said: "What you said is not right. But there is always a glimmer of hope that must be treated. Since your children are so decisive, you should cooperate with the treatment."

"Now our hospital has introduced a new technology. It can better observe the distribution of cancer cells. Lymphatic cancer like yours, if it is resected, there is still a chance to be cured."

"Yes, yes, I just heard from my son. He said that your hospital has a new device that allows people to perform stereoscopic projections on patients. With this equipment for surgery, it can treat diseases better. He is Having said that, I feel that my disease can still be cured.”

"Your son is quite well-informed. Okay, I'll arrange a three-dimensional examination for you."

After Li Guohua inquired about Ma Hua's physical condition, he quickly prescribed the inspection items.

Considering the reason of MCA's body. And he has no relatives to take care of him now. Li Guohua specifically told the students who were interns beside him to help Ma Hua with the formalities. By the way, arrange for his examination and hospitalization.

Senior experts like Li Guohua only have the opportunity to attend consultations twice a week. Patients from all over the country will come to him for treatment every time he visits the clinic.

Because good medical skills are good medical skills.

However, it is impossible for Li Guohua to sit in the clinic every day, because a great doctor like him has many other jobs besides sitting in the consulting room and receiving patients. For example, performing surgery on the operating table, teaching students, conducting medical exchanges, etc. He can't spend all his time and energy on the consultation.

And the two-day consultation every week is so full that it is hard to find one. After all, it only costs about two hundred yuan to hang up such a great expert account, and the average person is not short of two hundred yuan.

Li Guohua tried his best to speed up the consultation while being meticulous. Because he knows how many people line up outside.

"Are there many patients outside?"

"Yes, Teacher Li."

"You should have almost finished reading the normal version."

"There are seven left."

"Seven, let me calculate the time... well, send another ten plus signs to the outside. See as many patients as possible."

"Mr. Li, will this be too hard?"

"Think about the patients outside. Some people come from thousands of kilometers away. They eat fast food and stay in a hotel, just so that I can see their cases for five minutes today. To be a doctor is to ask as much as possible when asking about the condition in detail. faster and see more patients. You learn from me, and this will be the norm in the future.”

"Understood, Teacher Li!"

After a busy day at work, when Li Guohua got off work, he thought of the patient named Ma Hua whom he saw today for no reason. He subconsciously walked towards the examination department.

……………………

When MCA lamented the filial piety of his children, he did not know that his filial children were plotting a big event.

In a certain alley in Huaihai, in an apartment on the third floor of an old building built in the 1960s, a high-pitched female voice shouted: "Boss, you are trading Dad's life for money! !"

"What are you yelling, what are you yelling! Second sister, you are afraid that others will not hear you, right? Why didn't you yell when I gave your child 10,000 yuan to go to that American summer camp?!"
