Oncology Physician Life

Chapter 32 Chapter 31 Poetry and the Distance
The next day, Pei Xiaonan came to the oncology department to get the patient's clinical data. As soon as she entered the doctor's lounge, she saw Zhang Linlin, Lu Jiajia, and nurse Li Xiaomei gathered around Chen Yao, a female intern in the oncology department.

She has met Chen Yao several times. She has a good family background, her parents are both university professors, and she owns two houses in Shanghai. The girl is only 26 years old after her internship, but her parents are eager to get married, so she entrusts relatives to arrange I had a blind date with the family of a local civil servant.

Pei Xiaonan made himself a cup of instant in front of the coffee machine, turned around and leaned on the table, listening to a few girls chirping to give Chen Yao advice.

After a while, Jiang Li got Zhao Li's consent letter for surgery in the ward, and as soon as he entered the lounge, he threw off the hole shoes on his feet, slumped on Wei Ran's massage chair, and started the massage mode. Comfortable, I took the ice American style on the table, and couldn't help feeling: "Confucius said, the dead are like a husband, and they will never give up day and night. If you want me to say, Confucius said, it's so comfortable to lie down, I don't want to write SCI!"

Pei Xiaonan looked at Jiang Li, and sent her the information on the development of T cell immunotherapy agreed last time: "You can't play tricks, promise me to help me provide clinical data."

Jiang Li could only accept his fate with a nod.

On the other end, Lu Jiajia felt a little unbelievable after hearing Chen Yao's words about going on a blind date and preparing for marriage when it suits her: "In these days, skipping love and going straight into a relationship without feelings is worse than stealing money, Chen Yao, you are only 26 At the age of [-], if you marry a blind date without falling in love, can you be sure that you will not regret it in the next few decades? Isn’t there a saying that people want to be with interesting people in their whole life!”

Zhang Linlin shook her head: "Lu Jiajia, you can take care of yourself, why spend your whole life with interesting people! In real life, interesting people won't look for you. People like them either live in their own circle, Or with someone more interesting than them, and your solitude will be gloriously defeated!"

Chen Yao smiled: "Actually, I don't want to go on a blind date, because my family's conditions are not bad, and my job is okay, but my mother said that I am an oncologist. I deal with cancer patients all day long, and I am used to seeing life and death every day. This job There is no fixed rest time yet, and I often have to stay up late. It will definitely be difficult to find a partner in the future. Now that the conditions are suitable, it is better to get married as soon as possible. My mother said that a woman is considered a high-risk mother after the age of 35... I don’t want to become an old woman. Only to regret it."

It is true that Chen Yao's family background is very good, and she has a high degree of education in studying abroad, so that she is like a canary, giving her a sense of superiority far beyond the stratosphere among this bunch of interns.

Everyone in the lounge listened to Chen Yao's words, several female doctors who were over 35 years old frowned, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

These words were also like a knife, piercing into Pei Xiaonan's heart.

She is just 33 years old this year. In the same way, her rich second-generation boyfriend told her once that every country encourages triple births. If you have not had children at the age of 35, you will not be able to have children in the future.

She fiddled with the coffee cup in her hand, looked at the quiet Chen Yao, and asked, "Then what type of man do you like?"

Chen Yao thought for a while: "I don't know about this, it should be similar to my family's conditions, so at least we can afford to sell a house in Shanghai when we get married, work well and earn more, and we can't live with our parents. After all, I still like to buy a few brand-name bags on weekdays, and the other party's financial conditions must not be too bad."

Pei Xiaonan took a sip of the coffee that was too sweet, and a dangerous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile made Jiang Li's delicate eyebrows twitch, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, after listening to Chen Yao's words, Pei Xiaonan couldn't help laughing: "According to your logic, you don't really care about love at all. The man you want to find is only one standard. If you are rich, you can marry a rich man according to the current marriage law." Most of them will clarify the money issue before, and even write a pre-marital property notarization agreement. I am afraid that your wish to marry into a wealthy family will come to nothing. Actually, you should not come here for an internship. You should go to the entertainment industry, where you can meet young and talented people For the rich, there are also rich in oncology, but how to put it, they are all older, but you can give it a try if you want.”

Chen Yao's face turned livid when she heard Pei Xiaonan's merciless sarcasm, and there was no one around to help her, so it was very embarrassing to sit there.

Jiang Li couldn't stand it anymore, she just happened to be out of the clinic in the morning, so she got up from the massage chair and pulled Pei Xiaonan out: "It just so happens that I have something to ask you, so hurry up and follow me."

Jiang Li pulled Pei Xiaonan all the way to the French window in the corridor, and looked at her helplessly: "What's wrong with you today? You've eaten explosives, what's the point of comparing pennies with a little girl intern?"

"Where am I so penny-pinching?" Pei Xiaonan snorted coldly, "I am really worried about their generation of children. Indeed, our country is becoming more and more prosperous now, and China is also the safest country in the world. I grew up in a rural area, never experienced hunger, poverty, and hardships in life. They all have high education and returnees abroad, but I wonder, how did I develop such values? Gather together and chat, and always focus on houses, cars, and famous brands. On the bag, we are an oncology department here. Is such a money value really good? I don’t think they even have the least respect for life and death. With such interns, can you expect them to be qualified oncologists in the future? "

Jiang Li smiled on his lips: "I don't think you are criticizing their values. Are you concerned about what she said about 35-year-old women not having children? I remember you are only 32 years old this year?"

Pei Xiaonan lowered his eyes and kept silent.

Jiang Li thought for a while: "You and Cheng Ge haven't reconciled yet?"

Pei Xiaonan looked out of the window: "Yesterday he came to my house to apologize to me, and I was going to forgive him, but who knew that he arranged the engagement date without discussing it with me, and asked me to leave the job as soon as possible. I had another big fight with him, I married him, and I didn't intend to give birth to children for the Cheng family. I also wanted to understand that I, Pei Xiaonan, am just a mediocre girl, and I don't have any shining family background. But I am no less capable than Cheng Ge, there is no reason for me to be a victim in marriage."

Jiang Li sighed: "In a marriage, how can there be evenly matched love? Two people should be considerate of each other."

Pei Xiaonan looked at her: "Then how did you and Ji Han walk into the grave of marriage?"

Jiang Li thought for a while: "It's nothing, it's just that the two of us feel comfortable living together, so we got the certificate."

"But can you imagine what I will look like after I get married?" Pei Xiaonan shook her head, "I was destined to become the best cancer research doctor in Shanghai, but I gave up for Cheng Ge and became a working kitchen. A middle-aged woman with a baby, my dreams are gone, my life is gone, I can’t even have my own life circle, can you imagine this kind of marriage and love?”

Jiang Li looked at the time, she was going to the outpatient clinic, she patted Pei Xiaonan's face: "No matter what you decide, I will support you, as long as you want to be yourself, there is no need to care about other people's words and opinions, I think Wei Ran and Ji Han will also support you, just remember that the three of us will always be by your side!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Li yelled towards the lounge, and Lu Jiajia trotted out to follow. Today was her first day out with Jiang Li, and she even did enough homework in advance.

On the way, Lu Jiajia brought up Chen Yao's matter again: "Mr. Jiang, do you think that love and material things are really inseparable? Don't you often have that kind of heart-warming copywriting on Douyin? What kind of life is apart from the present. There are also poems and distant places, women should live freer and more romantic!"

"The domineering president and his little wife?"

Jiang Li gave her a white look: "Is it because I have read too much Chicken Soup for the Soul and Ba Zong literature? That's right, at your age, I like to dream. When I was your age, I also fantasized about poems and distant lands." , and in the end, when my mind was hot, I took a trip as soon as I said it."

Lu Jiajia hurriedly asked: "Really? So romantic!"

"Romantic?" Jiang Li thought this incident was her dark history, and it couldn't be connected with the word romantic.

At the beginning, she and Pei Xiaonan were so excited that they urged Ji Han and Wei Ran to take a walk-and-go trip. They didn't even take the monthly school exam, so the four of them skipped class and went to the beautiful scenery. Maldives.

But the result?

As a result, the four of them sat on the beach and played [-]k for two days like big fools!

After returning to school, he was treated as a negative material by the teaching director and criticized in front of all the students in the department.

Jiang Li thought about it for a while, and it is the way of survival in the natural world.

Especially in this utilitarian society, long-term love is a luxury, not every woman can have it.

Jiang Li signed in at the guidance desk. There were not many patients making appointments. After all, the Department of Pediatric Oncology had just been established. In the past, most of the children with cancer were children with leukemia. Pediatric cancer is a possibility, far less than adult cancer.

Fortunately, Jiang Li also takes over adult cancer patients, which can be regarded as sharing the worries of tumor patients.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a large flowered headscarf came in. The woman looked very disturbed and took out a CT scan taken at the local hospital.

Now there is a private saying in the hospital that the low-dose spiral CT film taken in some small places is taken to the provincial tertiary hospital. Some doctors in the hospital do not recognize the film and ask the patient to take it again.

In fact, it is the same everywhere CT is done, only high dose and low dose, the imaging is clear and unclear, whether you recognize it or not, at least Jiang Li recognizes it.

She pasted the film on the map reader and looked carefully. It should be the shadow problem on the lungs. The local doctor suspected it was a tumor and asked the patient to come to the cancer hospital for reexamination.

Jiang Li carefully looked at the film, looked at the middle-aged woman, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, relax, this should be a small nodule in the lungs from the film, not a tumor."

The middle-aged woman looked very suspicious: "I checked on Baidu, and it said that small nodules are tumors!"

"Ma'am, you have to trust our doctor. If you can believe what you say online, you can see a doctor online. Why do you still come to the hospital to see a doctor?"

Jiang Li patiently explained to her: "First of all, we need to know that there are two types of nodules, one is called benign nodules and the other is called malignant nodules, but nodules do not belong to tumors, and some malignant nodules have undergone malignant transformation. It will become a tumor!"

The middle-aged woman is still frowning: "But doctor, I detected this nodule three years ago, and there has been basically no change in the past three years, but during the re-examination this year, it was said that it had grown, from the previous seven or eight millimeters. , grew to twelve millimeters!"

Jiang Li retrieved the woman's three-year reexamination report from the medical system, and the nodules had indeed grown: "This kind of situation really needs to be taken seriously, but don't worry too much, we'd better treat a nodule of this degree. The best way is to do pathology surgery to see if it is a benign nodule or a malignant nodule, and I will hospitalize you first, shall we?"

The middle-aged woman nodded, and walked out of the consulting room with her thoughts in mind.

After a while, an old lady with gray hair walked in, followed by a young man.

Jiang Li glanced at the medical record card. The patient was already 70 years old. After checking the past medical history, he found that the patient had lymph node metastasis of intestinal cancer. After a long period of treatment in the medical oncology department, he finally reached the surgical target and could undergo surgical resection. Came here today for a CT scan.

The old lady's name was Li Rong. She sat down and looked around, looked at Jiang Li with a kind smile on her face: "Girl, you are so beautiful, as beautiful as my daughter. My daughter is a professor in a university abroad. My granddaughter is also beautiful, and she is also abroad. When my granddaughter comes back, I will bring her here. My granddaughter's academic performance is very good. What kind of entrustment is she, or Tuofu, with full marks in the exam!"

"It's the TOEFL, the English test," Jiang Li said with a smile while making a diagnosis, "Then your granddaughter's academic performance is really good, and few people can get full marks."

Li Rong stroked her gray hair and nodded: "That girl, hurry up, I'll do it quickly after the drive, my old sister is still waiting for me to dance in the square."

Jiang Li nodded, looked at the young man behind the old lady, and said, "Well, you sit here and let your son pay the fee for you!"

The old lady waved her hand with a smile: "What son, this is Xiao Zhou, who came here specially to accompany the doctor!"

Zhou Tao nodded: "That's right, doctor, I'm a special escort in our hospital. Grandma Li's daughter's family lives abroad, and she lives by herself in China."

Lu Jiajia on the side was very surprised and couldn't help gossiping and asked, "Your daughter's family is abroad, so why don't you move in and live with them?"

Li Rong shook her head: "We can't live together! My daughter has been living abroad for 30 years. The two of us have different views. I can't accept the way of life there, but I understand her. I don't blame her. She has her. The difficulty of the old lady, I can do it by myself."

Zhou Tao stood behind, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, looked up at Jiang Li and said, "Professor Jiang, can I leave your phone number, so that Grandma Li's test results come out, and I will notify you."

Jiang Li asked Lu Jiajia to hand him a business card, and watched the two walk out of the consulting room.

Lu Jiajia took a look at Li Rong, who was still walking tough, and felt a little bit apologetic for her: "What kind of daughter is this, who is so cruel to leave the old lady alone in the country? Is it so good abroad? My own mother doesn't care, it's a lymph node with bowel cancer How dangerous is the transfer, to put it bluntly, if the old lady really disappears, this daughter won't even be able to see her for the last time, how can she be so cruel."

Jiang Li glanced at Zhou Tao's back, and asked, "In our hospital, are there many such specialized escorts?"

"Yes, there are many young accompanying physicians like Xiang Zhou Tao," Lu Jiajia said, "Now there are more and more empty-nester elderly, either their children are working in other places, or their children have gone abroad, and there are also those who have lost their independence. , Bereaved children, many elderly people are very inconvenient to see a doctor, and many complicated social problems will be reflected in the hospital, but I think it is good to accompany the doctor, at least it can really help these elderly people, sometimes, seeing those who come alone For the elderly who see a doctor, their children are not as good as a strange accompanying doctor, it is really a waste of money."

Lu Jiajia glanced at Jiang Li, and asked curiously, "Why did Teacher Jiang ask this suddenly?"

Jiang Li smiled: "It's nothing, after all, everyone will grow old. I was thinking, what if one day I am old too? Should I cultivate some other hobbies and specialties while I am still young, so that When I get old, my old age will not be boring.”

Lu Jiajia laughed: "Mr. Jiang, do you still have time to think about this? I think that the female professors in our department have already taken up all their time for clinical work and scientific research, and they have to face the pressure from their families. How can they have time?" Go find your hobbies!"

"By the way, what are Teacher Jiang's hobbies?" Lu Jiajia asked.

Jiang Li remembered Wei Ran's proposal to form a four-person group when Wei Ran was having dinner, and said, "When I was in college, I formed a band with three good friends, and I could play the guitar."

"Mr. Jiang, you even played in a band!" Lu Jiajia was full of envy.

Just when Jiang Li finished her outpatient work and was about to return to the oncology building, she walked out of the outpatient building, and received a strange text message from abroad on her mobile phone:

"Hello, Professor Jiang, sorry to bother you, I am Li Rong's daughter, thank you for your tolerance towards my mother, and your patience when seeing the doctor, I am sorry that I did not get your permission in advance, I asked Zhou Tao to broadcast live on my mobile phone in the consulting room The video of your consultation, for some reasons, I can’t go back to China to accompany my mother, so I can only use this method, but I hope you don’t tell her, I’m afraid she will nag me again... My mother has high blood pressure besides bowel cancer. Blood pressure, I was admitted to the hospital three years ago because of high blood pressure, she is used to nagging, I hope you can be more patient with her, as a daughter, thank you here again..."

When Jiang Li saw the text message, he was stunned for a moment. A smile appeared on Shuran's face, and he replied to Li Rong's daughter, and took the initiative to leave a Wechat contact information. In the future, when Li Rong consulted a doctor, she would help live broadcast the video.

After Jiang Li finished typing on his mobile phone, he looked at the sunshine above his head. For some reason, he was in a depressed mood just now, but suddenly healed up a lot.

It turned out that it wasn't that the daughter was cruel and didn't love her mother, but that the daughter's love was silently paid behind the scenes.

Because I was afraid that there would be problems when my mother saw a doctor, so I hired a doctor to accompany the doctor and broadcast the whole process live;

Because he was afraid that his mother's nagging would make the doctor unhappy, he took the initiative to send a text message to the doctor to apologize.

Jiang Li went all the way to the garden behind the tumor building.

The camphor tree is still lush, and it sprouts in just a few days.

On the bench under the camphor tree, Ji Han, Pei Xiaonan and Wei Ran were playing with steaming red oil Chaoshou and shortbread, and bought iced drinks.

Wei Ran looked at Jiang Li, and hurriedly waved at her: "Come on, I have your favorite red oil Chao Shou!"

Jiang Li hurried over, and Wei Ran and Pei Xiaonan had almost eaten up a bowl of chao shou with red oil, Ji Han put the almost untouched one in front of him in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li smiled softly at him, picked up the chopsticks and ate a big mouthful, very satisfied.

Still the familiar taste in memory.

It's just that the smell made her suddenly remember that when she was in high school, her mother would make red oil for herself every morning.

And because she was lazy on the bed, she almost never sat quietly at the table and accompanied her mother to finish a good meal of red oil.

Until one time, my mother was admitted to the hospital because of a heart attack. She was afraid that Jiang Li, who was a daughter, would be worried, so she lied about going on a business trip and asked her to live with her grandma for a while.

It was only later that Jiang Li found out that his mother almost died on the operating table that time.

Afterwards, I heard from my grandmother that the night before the operation, my mother cried bitterly in her arms. Zhao Guizhi, who has always been strong, was afraid that she would not be able to get off the operating table safely and would never see her daughter again.

That night, my mother nagged all night about Jiang Li's childhood.

Since then, Jiang Li will call his mother every time before an operation, and give his mother a warm hug every time he bids farewell to his mother.

The camphor tree above the head blocked a large area of ​​sunlight, Jiang Li looked up at the clouds floating in the sky.

She kind of misses her parents in heaven.

Ji Han seemed to understand Jiang Li's thoughts, opened a bottle of drink for her, and said softly: "My mother's birthday is coming, she specifically asked me yesterday to take you there, she misses you so much."

Jiang Li came back to his senses and nodded: "I haven't seen our mother for a long time, someday you wait for me to get off, let's go together."

Pei Xiaonan looked at the two of them, and knocked on the bowl with chopsticks: "Mr. Ji, Mr. Jiang, please be careful with your words, don't show affection, what about my mother, my mother, and I'm going to go on Auntie's birthday too."

Ji Han touched his nose, concealed his embarrassment, and nodded: "You are with Old Wei."
