Oncology Physician Life

Chapter 21 Chapter 20 Wanwan and Lingling

Jiang Li was so angry that she ran away in the office, the chiffon shirt on her body made her a little breathless.

Ji Han's words completely touched the most sensitive nerve in her heart.

Sitting on a wheelchair, she forced herself to calm down. She opened the plastic-steel window, and the cold wind poured into the room.

This was the first time she had to face someone face to face in more than ten years since she practiced medicine.

If it wasn't because Xiao Jianghao's surgery was imminent and the medical bills hadn't been settled yet, which made her extremely anxious, she would never have become so angry that she would not save someone's life, but would instead mess with the junk left over from playing with him more than ten years ago. She felt that Liu Chong was not crazy, but she must be the one who was crazy.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the office. Jiang Li took a deep breath, straightened his wind-torn hair, and said through the door, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Pei Xiaonan walked in with two cups of herbal tea.Jiang Li looked up at her: "Have you heard about it? Did Ji Han call you here?"

From Pei Xiaonan's facial expression, Jiang Li already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, "I never thought that you talked to Liu Chong to talk to him, but you had a big fight with him in his office. Almost all of them have spread, the scene where you slammed the door in the chief director's office of the oncology department this morning, someone recorded a video and sent it to the doctor group."

Jiang Li said angrily: "Just register, what are you afraid of, at worst, I will resign and never come back!"

"Just because Liu Chongming knows that DK immune cell therapy is ineffective, and still insists on introducing it?"

"Otherwise? Knowing that the effect of DK therapy is limited, you still have to introduce it, isn't it because it can directly skip the clinic and charge patients for treatment? You can't treat the patient as a fool, right? That's cancer, and it will kill people!" Jiang Li said in a muffled voice.

Pei Xiaonan seemed very calm: "Then have you ever thought about developing the fourth-generation CAR-T cell therapy?"

"CAR-T? Chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy?" Jiang Li frowned.

Pei Xiaonan took out a research report written by the research team of the Cancer and Invasion Laboratory: "Actually, some colleagues in the research team and I first heard that the oncology department was going to introduce the third-generation DK cell therapy, and we did it together in private. I went down to find Dean Li, since the American laboratory has declared the invalidity and failure of DK, and the fourth-generation CAR-T cell therapy has achieved obvious results in the clinical trials of leukemia and lymphoma, why don't we make a detour? How about overtaking and directly developing the fourth-generation CAR-T cell immunotherapy? As early as six years ago, a laboratory in the United States had performed bone marrow transplantation on 27 leukemia patients and lymphoma patients who failed chemotherapy and targeted therapy. The CAR-T cell immunotherapy treatment was performed, and the results were shocking. Among them, 20 patients were re-examined after half a year, and all the cancer cells in the body disappeared. The leukemia girl who was first treated has survived for six years."

Jiang Li naturally knew about CAR-T cell therapy, but he didn't expect Pei Xiaonan to pay attention to it a few years ago, "So you and your scientific research team want to conduct scientific research on CAR-T?"

Pei Xiaonan nodded: "Although the process will definitely be very bumpy and the research funding is tight, our research team is ready for a protracted battle, but we still need your help, Jiang Jiang, so I hope you can join us , we need your clinical experience."

Jiang Li had no reason to refuse, "But, you have to do me a favor!"

"What are you busy with?"

Jiang Li said decisively: "I will hold a referendum at this month's hospital meeting to reject the introduction of DK immunotherapy. The money from the children's subsidy fund cannot be misappropriated just like this. Those money is life-saving money for children and should not be used." It was used by Liu Chong as a profit-making channel."

Pei Xiaonan's expression became sluggish: "You really persevere, it depends on you and me, plus Wei Ran and Ji Han at most, the four of us, against the chief director Liu Chong?"

"Don't mention that traitor Ji Han!" Jiang Li angrily said, "I won't forgive him!"

Pei Xiaonan sighed: "You husband and wife quarrel, how can there be any overnight feud?"

"We're divorced!"

Pei Xiaonan shook her head and said, "Then do you know that Ji Han paid 5 yuan in advance for Xiao Jianghao's medical expenses?"

"Ji Han paid the 5 yuan medical expenses in advance?" Jiang Li was taken aback, "Didn't it mean that he transferred from the oncology department to the oncology department?"

Pei Xiaonan picked up the report on the table: "Did you blame Ji Han? In fact, Ji Han also made a deal with Liu Chong. He agreed to support Liu Chong in introducing DK to cooperate with Saman technology. As a condition, Xiao Jianghao's surgery and medical expenses The oncology department will give him all free of charge."

Jiang Li muttered: "That's not the reason why he and Liu Chong are in the same boat!"

On the other side, outside the ward of the oncology department, a middle-aged woman dressed in jewels stood in front of the nurse's desk and asked the head nurse, Sun Li, to complete the discharge procedures for her daughter-in-law.

Sun Li looked at the case on the computer of Zhang Wanwan, a 24-year-old girl with advanced gastric cancer who was hospitalized yesterday and will be discharged today.She hurriedly explained to the "bejeweled" mother-in-law in front of her: "Ms. Qin, your daughter-in-law's illness has not reached the stage of giving up treatment. Yesterday's MRI report has come out. At present, there is only obstruction and no liver metastases. Moreover, your daughter-in-law is still so young, after the operation, there is still hope that she can live like a normal person with active chemotherapy."

Qin Fengjiao sneered: "This is our family's business, so we don't need outsiders to get involved. Please hurry up and discharge us from the hospital. We have already decided to die."

Nurse Li Xiaomei whispered from the side: "Yesterday when the girl's parents were here, the mother-in-law didn't have this face, and she said that she would go all out to treat the girl. Now that the girl's parents are gone, the mother-in-law will not turn her face. If you recognize someone, you will be discharged from the hospital if you say anything, and you will give up treatment."

Both Kang Jun and Lu Jiajia were there, and Lu Jiajia also had a resentful expression on his face: "How can this be? The girl is only 24 years old, and Dr. Wei Ranwei has seen the film. As long as he treats actively, there is still hope. If the mother-in-law's words can't cure her, why don't you let the daughter-in-law die!"

Kang Jun glanced into the ward: "Where's the girl's husband, why doesn't her husband come out?"

Nurse Li Xiaomei became even angrier after hearing this: "Then what kind of husband, he doesn't even fart, he just says 'I listen to my mother'! I'm so pissed off!"

Qin Fengjiao was still urging Head Nurse Sun: "Nurse, hurry up and help us complete the procedures for discharge from the hospital. I even made an appointment to go shopping in the afternoon!"

Although Sun Li has worked in the oncology department for more than ten years, she is used to watching life and death, and has seen too many challenges to the bottom line of human nature, but because this mother-in-law is so cruel that she is angry, she tries to keep herself calm and absolute. Calmly: "Your daughter-in-law is only 24 years old, so young, are you unwilling to try at all?"

Qin Fengjiao raised eyebrows and raised eyebrows: "Nurse, what's the matter with you, haven't I already told you that we're dead, so hurry up and discharge us from the hospital, what kind of fuss are you, an outsider, you're really meddling with a mouse, that's my son Daughter-in-law, I have the final say on whether it will be cured or not."

Sun Li had no choice, and when she didn't know what to do, Wei Ran finally rushed over.She hurried over and recounted what happened to Wei Ran in detail.

"I heard that the girl's parents went abroad to see their newborn grandson. The daughter's affairs are left to the future mother-in-law. It seems that they don't care about the girl, but yesterday the girl's mother-in-law said that she will do everything she can. To treat the girl, as soon as the girl's parents left today, the mother-in-law changed her face, saying that she would be discharged from the hospital and give up treatment."

Wei Ran was instantly filled with bad premonitions, even if his temper was gentle, he wanted to swear a bad word. Seeing that the girl's mother-in-law's family conditions are not ordinary, and the cars she travels in are luxury cars worth millions, why can't she spend money on her daughter-in-law? What about healing? !
Wei Ran tried his best to calm himself down. In the ward, he saw Qin Fengjiao who was packing up her things. Her son, Wu Siwei, was dressed in a neat casual suit and looked exquisite. He was sitting on a chair beside him looking at his mobile phone.The girl, Zhang Wanwan, sat on the bed with her legs curled up, her face was numb and expressionless, her face was buried in her lap and she did not speak.

"Ms. Qin, I am Zhang Wanwan's attending professor," Wei Ran walked over, "I want to talk to you about Zhang Wanwan's illness..."

Before Wei Ran finished speaking, Qin Fengjiao interrupted: "Doctor Wei, there is nothing more to say. We have already decided to die, and we will be discharged today."

The expression on Wei Ran's face was uncomfortable: "Did Zhang Wanwan's parents know about this?"

"I know!" Qin Fengjiao snorted coldly, "Dr. Wei was also in the outpatient room yesterday! Didn't the Zhang family make it very clear that this daughter married into our Qin family, and her life and death belong to our Qin family People, they don't pay for the medical expenses. They belong to our Qin family. Her parents don't care about her life or death, so I have the final say. Now I don't want to be treated. Isn't it all late, and spending money can't cure her? , In the end, people and money are empty, and your hospital also advocates not to over-treat! That's just right, we will die."

Wei Ran clasped his hands tightly and kept a smile on his face, "Ms. Qin, overtreatment does exist. For advanced cancer patients, developed countries like the United States do not advocate unnecessary wasteful treatment, but the premise is that It depends on your own family conditions. Some families do not have financial conditions. The second point is that some patients’ conditions have indeed reached the point of no return, but Zhang Wanwan is different, although the cancer cells have spread to the cardia and occupy the entire stomach. However, according to the current film, there is no liver metastases, timely total gastrectomy, and active cooperation with doctors in chemotherapy and targeted therapy, as long as the cancer does not recur, there is still a lot of room for survival.”

Qin Fengjiao put the things in her hands on the ground in a rage, and looked at the young doctor with a smile in front of her: "Doctor Wei, is it up to us to decide whether to treat or not?"

"Yes!" Wei Ran nodded.

"Then we can die, can we?" Qin Fengjiao asked again.

Wei Ran took a deep breath: "Yes."

Qin Fengjiao turned and looked at her son Wu Siwei: "The driver of the family came after a while, and told the driver not to go home, but to take her directly to the house in the suburbs. It would be very unlucky if she died at home!"

Hearing these words, Wei Ran glanced at Zhang Wanwan who was on the hospital bed, still expressionless.He didn't know what kind of process the girl had gone through to show such a desperate look, but he could almost foresee the girl's ending.

Wei Ran had nothing to say about this, but he was still full of sympathy and loss.

Sometimes Wei Ran wonders if he is too fragile?Are you not strong enough?Is it that I still can't be hard-hearted?

So even though I am used to seeing life and death, I still can't help but want to cry.

Wei Ran is actually a coward, right?
Wei Ran kept laughing at himself in his heart.

Perhaps in his heart, there is also a cowardly Wei Ran secretly hiding.

So every time when the patient's family members said to go home, Wei Ran still felt very uncomfortable even if he pretended to be.

Going home means giving up treatment.

It means that a person's life is coming to an end.

It means that it may not be the illness that killed that person, but the family members.

Wei Ran glanced at the silent Zhang Wanwan, in his heart he very much hoped that this girl could give him a response now, even if it was a look, a cry of unwillingness, to prove that she hadn't given up on herself.

But she didn't.

Wei Ran shook his head and walked out of the VIP ward.

In the morning, he still has to conduct ward rounds, so he can only clean up his mood.It's just that when passing through the general ward, the girl's silver bell-like laughter can be heard in the corridor before anyone enters.

Yu Lingling, who had three beds in the ward, was lying on the bed and smiling happily.

Yu Lingling is also Wei Ran's patient, transferred from surgical oncology to medical oncology for combined treatment.Yu Lingling is 27 years old this year and also has advanced gastric cancer. After surgery, the prognosis is not optimistic, but Yu's father and Yu's mother insisted on making the last effort and not giving up their daughter's chance of survival.

After Mama Yu learned that her daughter's stomach cancer was terminal, she was in her early fifties and her hair turned white overnight. She lived in the ward every day, rented a folding bed at night, and took turns taking care of her daughter with Papa Yu. Going home to cook for her daughter, Yu's mother took care of her daughter in the hospital by herself.

At the beginning, Wei Ran had seen the prognosis of the operation, and it was indeed not ideal. During the expert consultation, the situation was so bad that Yu Lingling might not be able to last for half a year. Wei Ran told the Yu family and his wife the bad news, but the two still decided Facing it calmly and actively fighting for it, not only the Yu family and his wife, but even the nurses and doctors have been looking forward to a miracle for the past six months.

Wei Ran walked into the ward, and Yu Lingling was lying naked on the hospital bed, with tubes all over her body.

Breathing tube, urinary catheter, intravenous catheter for intravenous nutrition, and several drainage tubes.

Wei Ran still remembered that when Yu Lingling came here half a year ago, she was already severely anemic and thin. Looking at Yu Lingling lying on the bed with a bald head, she could clearly count the number of her ribs.

But when Yu Lingling saw Wei Ran, a bright smile appeared on her face immediately: "Doctor Wei, you are here."

Wei Ran is holding a pot of sunflowers in his hand. Yu Lingling likes sunflowers very much. She looks like a little sun when she smiles. Wei Ran promises to give her a pot of sunflowers when spring comes.

The golden sunflower was taken care of by Wei Ran for half a month, and it finally bloomed today. He immediately placed it on the window sill of the ward, facing the sun and the hospital bed, so that Yu Lingling could see the flowers when she looked up.

Kang Jun followed behind with a notebook to make follow-up records: "Yu Lingling had pleural effusion after surgery, but according to the film, the drainage tube has drained the fluid in her chest from the original place, and there is no secondary compression symptom." , Infection and tissue damage, can the drainage tube be withdrawn?"

Wei Ran nodded: "It can be withdrawn. By the way, remember to meet with the radiology department for a while. Tomorrow is Yu Lingling's fifth chemotherapy. She has completed 30 radiation treatments before, and there will be two more chemotherapy. The entire radiotherapy process is over, and then a re-examination will be carried out, and if no tumor can be seen in the body, it can be transferred to the rehabilitation side."

Kang Jun's hand for taking notes froze, he raised his head in disbelief, and glanced at the skinny Yu Lingling, who was smiling kindly at him. Can't eat anything, survived 80 radiotherapy sessions?

Radiation therapy is a local treatment method for radiation-induced tumors. It uses X-rays to penetrate human tissue and carry high energy. Like a shotgun, it hits the body and kills cancer cells. However, while radiotherapy kills cancer cells, it also Also damages DNA and causes normal cell death.

But for cancer patients, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are poison!
In addition to making people lose their hair, it can also make people completely lose their appetite and make people lose weight.

From the beginning of chemotherapy, the patient can only rely on intravenous infusions to maintain nutrition and digestion every day. He can hardly eat anything. As long as he smells the food, he feels like vomiting.

So it is precisely because I know that this process is as painful and slow as endless suffering for a girl, so I know how much courage and perseverance this girl needs to persevere!

Kang Jun couldn't help giving Yu Lingling a thumbs up.

Yu Lingling looked at Wei Ran and smiled happily, like the soft wind in March: "Doctor Wei, do you think my hair will grow back after I recover?"

There was also a trace of tenderness on Wei Ran's face: "Of course, not only will it grow back, but it will also grow very well and beautifully."

Yu Lingling looked at the bright sunshine outside the window: "June is coming soon, and the cherry blossoms in Wuhan are about to bloom. I really look forward to that time."

Yu's mother heard her daughter's obsession, always saying this, her eyes were red, and she choked up.

Wei Ran once heard from the Yu family couple that Yu Lingling had her first boyfriend in college, but after graduation, Yu's father disliked the poor conditions of the boy's family and forced the girl to break up. The two agreed at the time that if they separated In the future, I still can't forget each other, just in June of this year, I met at the place where I first met in Wuhan.

At that time, it was the day when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

But Dad Yu didn't expect that his daughter would have advanced stomach cancer. Every time he thought about the decision he made to force her to break up, he would regret it. Dad Yu said that if his daughter could survive, he would never stop her again.

But Yu's mother thought that her daughter's stomach cancer had a total gastrectomy, and she would definitely not live like ordinary people in the future, and the boy's family would definitely not agree to this marriage.

Wei Ran checked Yu Lingling's condition, lifted her quilt, and checked the drainage tube, just revealing the girl's skinny body, but at this time, there was a loud cry of "wow" at the door of the ward, shaking the whole ward. People's eyes are attracted to the past.

All he saw was a very haggard, big boy with bloodshot eyes standing at the door of the ward, tears streaming down his face, no matter how much he wiped it off, he couldn't wipe it clean any more.

The backpack in his hand also fell heavily to the ground.

Yu Lingling on the hospital bed looked at the boy at the door, and the teardrops rolled silently from her eyes.

She hastily pulled her quilt, trying to cover her bony body, not wanting the boy to see her most embarrassing appearance.

"Yu Lingling, do you want to leave me alone?"

"You don't tell me when you're sick. You know you haven't contacted me in the past few months. I worry about you! I think about it every day. Did you have an accident? Are you married to someone else and don't want me? If it wasn't for the classmate saying that you have stomach cancer, I would still be kept in the dark by you!"

Wiping his tears, the boy cried and said: "If I don't come, will I never see you again in this life? You just have the heart to leave me alone? Didn't we agree that we will go together in June Watch cherry blossoms in Wuhan."

Yu Lingling raised her skinny hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Fool, I'm still alive. Don't worry, I'll be discharged from the hospital soon. We still have to go see the cherry blossoms and the stars! I will accompany you through the rest of my life."

The boy grinned, and couldn't hold back the tears from his eyes: "It hurts...does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, as long as I see you, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Wei Ran smiled, and before walking out of the ward, he looked back at the sunflowers on the window sill, which were blooming brilliantly in the sun, like the smiling face of God left in the world.

He knew why Yu Lingling was able to grit her teeth and survive 30 radiotherapy treatments that were comparable to a hail of bullets? !
It is because, in this world, there is still him who wants to see but has not seen.

As long as there is someone you want to meet, you are not alone in this world!
Kang Jun watched Wei Ran turn around, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Wei, where are you going? Ward No. 7 is here!"

Wei Ran quickened his pace and walked towards Zhang Wanwan's ward.

Go faster, go faster.

He didn't want Zhang Wanwan to leave any regrets.

Cancer is a battleground of life and death!
Is marriage, is the battlefield of love!
It is the battlefield of humanity!

It is a battlefield of life sovereignty!

So, Zhang Wanwan, you must never, never be a deserter!

Even if your parents abandon you, your fiancé abandons you!
But at least, you must never give up on yourself!
