2387 A man's wish to live
“Yes, I met an old patient.” Gao Shaojie leaned forward slightly and said in a refined manner.
“My neighbor, during a physical examination at the time, was found to have a small 1cm-thick nodules in his right lung. He asked me to look at the X-ray, and I suggest that he be under observation for three months. After three months, the small nodules will enlarge, so we’ll suggest that he undergo surgery. “
“The post-operative pathology confirmed that it was adenocarcrama. But … For the tumors, the cuneiform section can be considered healed. ” Gao Shaojie replied,”it was a little later than now, two weeks before New Year’s Day.” I often see him taking a stroll downstairs after the surgery. “
“I won’t scare myself to death, right?” Su Yun asked.
“Yes, I am. His group of old colleagues all thought that he had cancer and was afraid of ‘infection’. When they were playing together, she deliberately distanced herself from him and even avoided him. The patient could only walk and chat with another person who had cancer. They’re in the same boat. “
“After the new year, I haven’t seen this patient appear downstairs. One day, when I got home from work, I saw his wife delivering food with a lunchbox. “
Gao Shaojie was telling a “story,” which was simple and plain, without too much emotion.
However, the words ‘alienated’ and ‘infected’ made people not know whether to laugh or cry, but they also felt a sense of loss.
“I asked about what happened, and his wife said that his retired friend who played with him during the new year passed away due to late cancer. After he found out about this, he was bedridden. “
“In the end, he didn’t die of a terminal tumor. He was bedridden for a long time, with chronic pneumonia and collapsed lungs. In the end, he died after only half a month.”
Gao Shaojie sighed.
The condition of the patient he was talking about was similar to bu ruotian’s condition, but it was also different.
However, for those who were sick, especially those who were diagnosed with tumors, the anxiety and uneasiness in their hearts made them face life and death.
This was something that ordinary people absolutely could not empathize with.
Even if everyone except Song Ying was a doctor, they could not put themselves in the position of facing a life and death situation to feel what the patient was thinking.
The patient Gao Shaojie was talking about had a mental breakdown after the death of his “only” friend. He was practically asking to die.
Bu ruotian, on the other hand, was “actively” looking for a way out. He might even feel that fate was full of misfortune and was absolutely unfair. He used the “ridiculous” method of changing his life and identity to escape the horror of life and death.
Although it looked funny, no one could laugh. This topic was a little heavy, and everyone could not breathe.
“I still have a patient.” Gao Shaojie seemed to be in low spirits as well. In terms of clinical experience, even Zheng Ren could not catch up with him. With decades of accumulation and the thousands of patients he had met, similar gossip was really easy to come by.
He continued,”when he came to me for treatment, he was diagnosed with liver cancer, and there was a space-occupying 7 x 8 cm in the right lobe of the liver.” At that time, he told me that his son was still in his third year of University and that he would not be able to make it until his son graduated. “
“I can’t guarantee anything, I just said I’ll try my best. After that, he had performed twelve interventional surgeries, but the tumor had not been completely controlled. If boss Zheng was here, he might be able to live for a little longer, or even recover completely. “
Zheng Ren shook his head. He could cure tumors? Old Gao had praised himself too highly. Humans had to be self-aware, and Zheng Ren knew this in his heart.
“Don’t talk nonsense, old Gao. ” Su Yun said disdainfully,”if the boss could cure the tumor, why would he be worried about the Nobel Prize? the selection committee came to the capital and begged to receive the award, but the boss just casually kicked them aside.”
Gao Shaojie smiled.
“By then, the person who can cure the tumor won’t even win a Nobel Prize. I’m afraid this award will come to an end.” Su Yun said.
“I think if boss Zheng were to perform the surgery, the patient could still live for a while longer.” Gao Shaojie corrected his point of view.
“Well, that’s more like it. Continue.”
“After two years, he told me that my son had graduated from his bachelor’s degree and was studying for his master’s degree. He wondered if he could make it until his master’s degree.”
“Three years later, he asked me if my child had found a job in a big company in Pengcheng. He and his wife had saved up half of their lives to buy a house for their child. He wants to see his child get married and asked me to help him. “
“After another year and a half, his son got married. He came back for surgery and told me that he wanted to have grandchildren.”
Gao Shaojie calmly described the thoughts and requirements of a patient.
Doctors could only use their own skills to try their best to do this.
However, even Zheng Ren wasn’t confident that he could do it, let alone Gao Shaojie.
Just as Su Yun had said, if he was confident, it would be the Nobel Prize judges coming to the capital to beg for the award.
A new method to treat cancer had been discovered. If he didn’t win the Nobel Prize, then the award would be unconvincing.
“How long will he be able to endure?” Su Yun asked.
Every story had an end, and so did everyone.
“Three months before his daughter-in-law’s delivery.” Gao Shaojie felt a bit regretful.
“You’re pretty good, old Gao. ” Su Yun praised,”such a huge tumor, and it took seven to eight years to treat it.”
Gao Shaojie didn’t say anything and just shook his head.
“The patient that teacher Gao mentioned must have a wish in his heart.” Lin Yuan could tell the essence of the problem.
“Yes.” Zheng Ren nodded.”If you have thoughts in your heart, you can more or less endure for a while. No matter what, you’ll be able to endure longer than those who don’t have any thoughts. “
“Boss, I don’t agree with you using the word” boil. “” Su Yun began to argue out of habit.
“That’s true. To live happily and be attached to the mortal world? Why don’t you add a few more fancy words?”
“Hey,” Su Yun asked,”does bu ruotian’s kind count?”
“I don’t think so. I think he’s just too overbearing and doesn’t have a deep love for family. He still loves himself the most. ” Gao Shaojie said,”it’s only possible for such a thing to happen under such circumstances.”
“I hope psychological counseling will work. But boss, do you really think split personalities exist?” Su Yun asked.
“It should exist, but it’s too rare to encounter one.” Zheng Ren said,”this is still a debate in the academic world. Some people firmly refuse to admit the diagnosis of split personality.”
“I’ve seen similar records. It’s said that in the history of medicine, there were only 26 people who were confirmed to have split personalities. “
“Why do I remember that it was 27?” Zheng Ren frowned.
“26!”
“27!”
Gao Shaojie stared at Zheng Ren and Su Yun, who were acting like children, insisting on the number ‘ 1’.
Perhaps this was also a way to uncompress the pressure?

[Note: these two cases are also my patients. The second one, old Li, is an interesting person.] Patients with liver diseases had a fiery temper. He was nicknamed black bear, had big arms and a round waist, and especially liked to judge. When the patients in the ward quarreled, he was always the one who judged and said who was right and who was wrong.
Unfortunately, it was just a little short.
