"What about the patient's family?" Zheng Ren asked, "I want to tell the patient's family that the risks of surgery are still quite high, and it is up to them to make the specific decision."
Fang Lin sighed, "Boss Zheng, only one family member of the patient came, an 11-year-old girl."
“…”
"Where are the others?" Zheng Ren asked, but actually he already had the answer.
If the only people in the surrounding area are the elderly and children at home, what are the young and middle-aged people doing? Do you still need to ask
"Can we contact the adult family members?" Su Yun asked.
Fang Lin said: "It is said that my family is rushing here. It will probably take a day or two to arrive."
For a day or two, the patient's condition seemed to be okay if it took a while. Although the condition is difficult, it is not the kind of emergency that cannot be delayed at all.
"Look at the patient first," Zheng Ren said.
Fang Lin took Boss Zheng and his party to the ward to see the patient.
A thin, withered little girl was taking care of an elderly patient in his seventies at the bedside.
Seeing Fang Lin come in, the little girl stood up, bowed to Fang Lin first, then held the paper in her hand and whispered: "Dr. Fang, in the past hour, the No. 1 chest bottle has drained about 15ml of light yellow liquid, and there is gas. number 2… "
She spoke in an organized manner, used a lot of professional vocabulary, and took very good care of her.
Even adults find it difficult to do this. It is really amazing that an 11-year-old girl can bring her grandpa or great-grandfather to the imperial capital and still reach the top amateur level.
When the girl spoke, she showed the braces used to straighten her teeth. The professional name is called an orthodontic palate expander. Zheng Ren does not engage in dentistry and is indifferent to this.
He saw that the little girl's system panel was slightly red and had a diagnosis of ion disorder, and he judged that it might be a disease caused by being busy and tired recently.
This disease does not require treatment. If you eat well, you will be cured soon.
Zheng Ren took Fang Lin's red stethoscope and examined the elderly man. Just like what Fang Lin described and Zheng Ren saw in the system operating room, he had three chest bottles hanging on his body.
There are adhesions and separations in the chest cavity, and a chest bottle cannot draw out all the air.
This is also a common situation after stimulation with 50% high sugar, so generally speaking, chest doctors are more cautious when choosing to use high sugar or iodophor to stimulate the pleura.
The diagnosis was correct, all physical examinations were consistent with the medical records, and the performance was the same as the system operating room. Zheng Ren nodded and said to the little girl.
"When can your adults come?"
"Hello, doctor." Although the little girl didn't know Zheng Ren, she was very polite. She bowed first and then said, "You can tell me if you have anything. My father and my grandfather are building a nuclear power plant. They are The signal is not good. Temporarily... we cannot contact you." (Note 1)
"How about contacting me tonight?"
"Well, I said it's nothing. Let them rest assured and just pay them." The little girl looked thin and withered, looking malnourished. But when she spoke, her eyes shone with tenacity.
“…”
Zheng Ren frowned and looked at the little girl.
"Doctor, I can make the decision." The little girl saw that Zheng Ren was hesitant, but she still said firmly: "I used all the money left at home to buy a sleeper ticket for my grandfather, and then some living expenses. They don't have to come back. , it costs money to treat the disease, and it will be of no use if you come back.”
The words are like this, and the principle is also like this.
If she were older, even 20...18 years old, Zheng Ren wouldn't mind. It's just that the little girl is only 11 years old and has no legal authority to sign before surgery.
Zheng Ren turned his head and glanced at the old man lying on the bed.
The bed was rocked high at an angle of 25°. He was lying on the bed in a semi-recumbent position with cyanotic lips, an oxygen tube hanging from his nose, and he was listless.
The old man didn't react at all when he spoke here. In this state, it would be a shame if the local hospital dared to do this.
"Fang Lin, didn't you say someone would be back in a day or two?" Zheng Ren asked.
Fang Lin was also very surprised. He looked at the little girl and asked: "I asked you two hours ago when you first came here. This is what you told me. What happened now?"
The little girl lowered her head, clenched her hands into fists, and did not show her expression to the doctors in front of her.
Zheng Ren sighed and said, "Little sister, the current situation is like this. Your grandfather is very ill. Either he goes home to recuperate, or we are going to try a dangerous operation."
The little girl raised her head, her eyes were crystal clear. She didn't cry. Instead, she looked seriously into Zheng Ren's eyes and asked, "Doctor, do you mean this because I can't sign for the surgery?"
Zheng Ren nodded.
"I signed for closed drainage at our house!" the little girl said. "The doctor said no at first, but then he asked my father and my father for a power of attorney, and the doctor also hired a lawyer."
So troublesome
Zheng Ren didn't know whether this procedure would work or not. He pondered and said, "Then I'll ask."
The little girl did not chase Zheng Ren innocently, but nodded.
When everyone left, she did not send them off, but bowed deeply to express her gratitude.
The thin body is like grass in the wind, swaying, but tenacious and refusing to fall no matter what.
"Fang Lin, have you ever encountered this kind of situation?" Su Yun asked with a frown.
Fang Lin shook his head.
Few people have ever encountered a similar situation.
"Let me think about it, although it is not a surgery, it is nothing to say that the interventional bronchoscopy treatment is a surgery. Otherwise..."
"The surgery will be broadcast live and then the family will be called back?"
"Um."
"We can give it a try. Let's go back first and I'll ask Lawyer Ge and the lawyers in the court." Su Yundao said.
Seeing a doctor and having surgery are so troublesome.
There is nothing we can do about this, and it is a difficult thing for a family to recite. It's just that this little girl looks so sensible, and her mental age is at least 5-10 years older than her actual age.
No one objected to her saying that she was an adult.
But the law is the law, and the situation here is somewhat special.
After leaving the ward, Zheng Ren did not return to the thoracic surgeon's office. Instead, he went directly back to the interventional department with Su Yun and Lin Yuan.
Su Yun began to contact various related matters, while Lin Yuan and Chang Yue whispered something.
Zheng Ren glanced at it and probably saw a sallow and skinny little girl holding up the broken home on her shoulders, and the softness in his heart was touched.
This is inevitable, it is human nature.
But what I consider must be to cure the elderly people's diseases and then let them go back well.
Although the patient's COPD condition is very serious, there is no problem if he can survive for three to five years.
Zheng Ren was thinking about this matter in his mind, and then took the fifth edition of surgery and entered the system space to start surgical training.

Note: Gai Nuclear Power Plant is a friend of mine. At that time, he and his father went to build a nuclear power plant, but no one could be found at all, and the signal was really poor. In addition, this little girl’s story was told to me by a junior fellow student from Henan. She is very strong and I wish her good luck.
