Oncology Physician Life

Chapter 75 Chapter 74 The Wall in the Hospital

At 5 o'clock in the evening, Lu Jiajia didn't have to be on the night shift today, and planned to go back to the intern's lounge to study after eating in the cafeteria.

Kang Jun and Xu Youshu had already prepared meals, and when they saw Lu Jiajia coming over, they asked her to sit down and eat together.

Lu Jiajia came over with a plate, looked at the overcrowded cafeteria, looked at Xu Youshu, and asked, "Why are there so many people in the cafeteria today? Are the doctors not off duty at this point?"

Xu Youshu stuffed a big mouthful of steaming rice, breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and then said: "The mid-year index selection is coming soon, and the interns in the department are getting regular. Everyone is busy, except for the third-line doctors who leave work on time. It seems that even many second-line doctors have automatically joined the scheduling team."

"Junior Sister Lu, how did I hear that you stole the limelight in the ward today?"

Zhang Linlin sat across from Lu Jiajia with a dinner plate, and gave her a thumbs up, "I just passed by the radiation therapy department, and I met Deputy Director Zhao Lihua, who praised you by name in the office!"

Kang Jun looked at Zhang Linlin curiously: "What did Lu Jiajia do? Deputy Director Zhao of the Radiation Therapy Department never praises interns easily!"

Xu Youshu ate the rice with mashed potatoes in big mouthfuls: "Today's rice with mashed potatoes feels extraordinarily delicious. The mashed potatoes are very soft and rotten, and every bite is full of the aroma of lettuce."

Lu Jiajia heard Zhang Linlin talk about today's events, looked at the curry beef on the dinner plate, and suddenly lost her appetite for some reason.

She glared at Kang Jun fiercely: "Eat your meal, you are very curious!"

Kang Jun looked at the others innocently: "Why did I mess with you?"

Zhang Linlin burst out laughing: "Our little junior sister is really showing off today. She wiped a patient's stool in the ward!"

"Big... poop?"

Both Kang Jun and Xu Youshu had shocked expressions on their faces.

Lu Jiajia just swallowed the rice in his mouth, and said vaguely in his mouth: "It's not a big deal, isn't it just to wipe the poop!"

She glanced at Xu Youshu's dinner plate casually, and pointed to the mashed potatoes on the plate: "The patient has NHL non-Hodgson's lymphoma, and he lost sensation in both lower limbs. He just happened to be incontinent during my rounds, um." , that lump of black poop is like the mashed potatoes on your plate, it's soft!"

Xu Youshu just took a big mouthful of mashed potatoes, and when Lu Jiajia described it like this, his stomach suddenly surged, and he covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom.

Lu Jiajia shook her head boredly: "As for such a big reaction?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Linlin's lips: "Xu Youshu followed Professor Ji for an intestinal obstruction operation today. It is said that the patient has not had a normal bowel movement for a week, the obstruction is severe, and there is a tumor blocking the intestine. After Professor Ji cut the intestine, Just ask Xu Youshu to hold the poop bag and wait at the incision of the large intestine, it is said that such a big lump spewed out from the incision in an instant, or in front of him, do you think he can eat?"

Lu Jiajia took a deep breath instantly: "Then he is much worse than me."

While talking, Shu Yusheng sat over with a plate, calmly took a mouthful of shredded fish-flavored pork and stuffed it into his mouth, and said disapprovingly: "What are these? If you go to study forensic medicine and have seen real rotting corpses, you will be fine. Now I know what is called the view of giants."

Lu Jiajia frowned and muttered, "This guy is really perverted!"

Kang Jun felt deeply about her words: "These two days I live in the same dormitory with Shu Yusheng, guess what I saw in the middle of the night?"

"What did you see?" Zhang Linlin was very curious.

Kang Jun sighed: "This guy actually watched the autopsy in the dormitory in the middle of the night, that scene, I really..."

Zhang Linlin also lost her appetite immediately, picked up the dinner plate and prepared to go back to the department.

On the other side, before Jiang Li got off work, she was called over by head nurse Sun.

Head nurse Sun held the list in her hand, handed it to Jiang Li, and said, "Li Sisi's father and mother started arguing because of this immune protein medicine."

Jiang Li took the list and looked at it: "Even if this medicine is a new rural cooperative medical system, it can't be reimbursed, right? A bottle costs 500 yuan. Li Sisi has myeloid leukemia and has low immunity. I need this medicine to strengthen my immunity."

Head nurse Sun nodded: "Every time Li Sisi was prescribed medicine, her mother would come over with a book and ask which medicines are reimbursed, which medicines are not, and which medicines can be replaced, but this immune protein, It cannot be replaced by other medicines.”

"I see, I'll talk about it!"

Jiang Li took the list and walked towards the ward. Before entering Li Sisi's ward, he heard Li Sisi's father and mother arguing.

"My daughter is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money our family has, it's not enough. The second child has to go to school, and the book fee has to be paid again, which is thousands of dollars. The rent for this month is also due. Money We haven't got it yet, we can't afford the 500 yuan bottle of immune protein, you should go to the doctor today and tell the doctor to stop this medicine!"

Li Sisi's father's voice immediately rose: "You can't stop the girl's medicine, you don't need to worry about the money, I'll find a way!"

Li Sisi's mother was tearful, and beat her husband's chest choked with sobs: "Go and think of a way, how can you think of a way? You have already worked two jobs a day, and you don't even have time to sleep. How can your body bear it if you go on like this?" ?”

Listening to the words of the couple, Jiang Li sighed, she knew the purpose of the doctor who was in charge of Li Sisi's chemotherapy for prescribing this medicine for her.

This medicine is not a medicine for leukemia, but just immunoglobulin, a medicine that improves the immunity of cancer patients. A bottle costs more than 500. Li Sisi's immunity is already very low in the middle of chemotherapy, and her body cannot continue to accept this dose of chemotherapy. That's why I prescribed medicines to enhance the immune system. After a day, the medicine costs 2000 yuan.

Jiang Li knew that in order to see a doctor for his daughter, Li Sisi's father had to work two jobs a day, twisting steel bars at a construction site during the day, and working as a delivery man at night. Li Sisi's illness dragged down this not-well-off family.

"Other patients also need to rest, so don't argue so loudly!"

Jiang Li walked over with a straight face, reprimanded them both bowed their heads in embarrassment.

She asked the couple to go to the nurse's desk with Head Nurse Sun, and asked Head Nurse Sun to enlighten the couple.

After the two left, Jiang Li looked into the ward from the window on the ward door.

Li Sisi in the room heard all the quarrel between his parents. Jiang Li looked at Li Sisi who was covered with a quilt, and felt like a pair of scissors were stirring in his heart, feeling very distressed.

She walked in, sat on Li Sisi's bedside, gently pulled back the quilt, revealing Li Sisi's bald head, looking at the little girl's red eyes, Jiang Li's nose instantly became sore.

The disease never winks, does not dare to choose whether the other party is rich or poor, and never chooses the role of the patient.

Li Sisi's voice was helpless, and even choked up: "Sister doctor, can I give up the treatment?"

Jiang Li held Li Sisi's warm hand, and said softly, "Why did you give up? The doctor in charge of your chemotherapy today said that your condition has improved. If the remaining two rounds of chemotherapy have the same effect, you are very happy." You'll be out of the hospital soon."

Li Sisi lowered her head: "But I feel sorry for my father. I'm afraid that he will be overwhelmed by working so hard for me! My father is the only pillar of the family. He can't fall down. Even if I die, there is still a younger brother in the family..."

"Don't say such things!"

Jiang Li interrupted Li Sisi, "Children are the treasures of parents. Your father loves you so much, how can you give up lightly? You have to be strong. After all, you are going to be an adult, aren't you? Wait until When the illness is cured, you can help your father reduce the burden! Your mother didn't mean to say that, she just felt too stressed."

Li Sisi burst into tears: "I don't blame my mother, I know she loves my father."

Jiang Li wiped away the tears from the corners of Li Sisi's eyes: "Silly boy, isn't it normal for a father to pay for his daughter? You don't have to feel guilty. When you recover from illness, just be filial to your father!"

Li Sisi cried so hard that she couldn't speak, intermittently, as if exhausting all her strength, she uttered a sentence: "But... But he is not my biological father, he is just my stepfather!"

Li Sisi's words made Jiang Li stunned on the chair for an instant.

"Your stepfather?"

Li Sisi nodded: "My biological parents abandoned me. My mother is actually my aunt, not my biological mother. My aunt took me and rebuilt a family with my father. He never regarded me as an outsider. Li also took good care of me in every possible way, for fear that I would suffer a little loss in this family because I was not his biological daughter, but no one thought that I would actually have leukemia, and the nicer my father was to me, the more I felt guilty!"

Jiang Li held Li Sisi's trembling hand tightly, she would never have thought that the father outside the ward who did his best for his daughter was just a stranger who had no blood relationship with this girl.

After a while, Li Sisi's father came in from outside the ward. The moment he opened the ward, his haggard and tired face was filled with a bright smile again.

He gently held up the glutinous rice cake in his hand, and said to Li Sisi in the ward cautiously and flatteringly: "My baby, look at what delicious food Dad bought for you, it's your favorite glutinous rice cake!"

Li Sisi on the hospital bed hastily wiped away her tears, with the happiest smile on her face.

Jiang Li walked out of the ward, looked back at the unrelated father and daughter in the ward, and felt infinitely emotional, saying that the oncology ward is a place full of challenges to human nature.

But here, is it not a place to witness warmth and affection.

A father who is not related by blood, a mother who is not the biological mother, and a daughter suffering from leukemia, the three formed a family and tried their best in the deep well of death to save the daughter's life.

The three people used their actions to break the so-called ethical shackles between blood and family affection.

Jiang Li looked back at Li Sisi who was full of happy smiles in the ward, and sincerely prayed for this girl.

She looked towards the wall at the end of the corridor outside the ward. Many family members of patients would kneel silently in front of that cold wall at night, praying silently for their loved ones in the ward.

Li Sisi's mother, her aunt, also knelt in front of that wall, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently for her daughter in the ward.

Even if she said that she would stop taking the medicine, she still couldn't hide her love for her daughter from the bottom of her heart.

In her prayers, there is a debt to her daughter, and a mother's deep concern and love for her child.

Jiang Li glanced at the wall. Many family members of the patients were kneeling in front of the wall, silently praying for their loved ones.

Jiang Li couldn't help feeling emotional.

This wall in this hospital has heard more sincere prayers than the Buddhas in the temple!
