Oncology Physician Life

Chapter 82 Chapter 81 Mother's Legacy

Li Sisi's condition is improving day by day, almost a bottle of immunoglobulin will be used up in a few days. For this daughter who has no blood relationship with him, his father, Li Chuang, drags his exhausted body every day and insists on working three jobs. , but even if he was too tired to move his sore legs, the moment he pushed open the door of his daughter's ward, as if using some kind of magic on himself, all the tiredness on his face would fade away, revealing a bright smile.

Jiang Li had read the adjustment plan for Li Sisi's disease course and treatment, and he hesitated, but he still gritted his teeth and came to the ward, and called Li Sisi's adoptive father and her aunt out.

Looking at the couple in front of him, although Jiang Li couldn't bear it, he still said: "The treatment of Sisi's condition can enter the next stage, but now there is a situation that requires you two to make up your mind."

Adoptive father Li Chuang glanced at his wife and asked, "I can take it, Professor Jiang, if you have any questions, just tell me."

Jiang Li glanced at him, and said directly: "Sisi's chemotherapy at this stage is very effective, and the next stage is the stage of drug treatment. Currently, there are two drugs for Sisi's leukemia, one is imported, and the other is imported. One is made in China, imported medicines are more expensive, but they are effective, and domestic medicines are much cheaper, which one do you choose?"

Li Chuang took the drug price list, and when he saw that the price of the imported drug was more than 9 yuan for a course of treatment, he couldn't help but chuckle secretly. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do domestic drugs have side effects?"

Although Jiang Li didn't want to admit it, he still nodded: "There is no better alternative to this kind of domestic medicine. Although the price is much cheaper than the imported medicine, the effect is not as good as the imported medicine, and it can't suppress the bone pain caused by chemotherapy. , will be a little tormented."

Li Chuang almost opened his mouth and said, "Then we use imported ones, doctor, give us imported ones for Sisi!"

The wife at the side pulled her husband and hurriedly replied: "We use domestic ones, doctor, it's just a bone pain, just bear with it, we don't have much money left in our card..."

Li Chuang listened to the second half of his wife's words, and looked up at the ceiling with his neck up. He didn't say a word for a long time, his Adam's apple was choked up, and he was obviously swallowing tears. Seeing this, his wife turned her head away hastily.

Li Chuang looked back at his daughter in the ward, his voice trembling: "Imported ones will definitely not hurt..."

Jiang Li couldn't comfort the couple, but he prayed in his heart that God would open his eyes and stop torturing this kind couple and that poor child.

It's a pity that God is blind, and diseases don't have eyes, and they don't pick people to get sick.

Lu Jiajia followed Jiang Li all the way, like a magpie, chattering endlessly: "Recently I go to see Zhou Tian every day, and his mental state has returned to before. I will go to help him wipe his body for a few days."

Jiang Li smiled: "Now that you have successfully helped others, how do you feel in your heart?"

Lu Jiajia thought for a while: "It's just that I have a sense of accomplishment. Every day when I come to the hospital department, I want to see Zhou Tian. Hearing other doctors say that his condition has improved, I will also be very happy."

Within a few minutes, outside a separate ward, the two ran into the sighing head nurse Sun Li, who was standing at the door of the ward with food.

Jiang Li walked up curiously and asked, "What's the matter, Head Nurse Sun?"

Head Nurse Sun pointed her eyes to the ward, "It's Granny Ke, she is too weak, and she won't eat anymore."

Jiang Li heard other doctors talk about the old man in this ward. He was a 75-year-old university professor with advanced lung cancer, multiple bone metastases, and severe anemia. The disease made the old man's survival time very limited, but everyone respected this old man. All very impressed.

Jiang Li took the plate from the head nurse and walked into the ward.

This ward is very special, and it was the only request Grandma Ke had when she was hospitalized. She hoped that she could have a single room, which didn't need to be large, but the space could be arranged by herself.

She hung pictures of her family on the wall, including her three sons, and she also moved the little things she liked at home to the ward. When Jiang Li came in, Grandma Ke was seriously putting on light makeup in the mirror, although her My body is getting weaker every day, but I still carefully organize my clothes and put on light makeup carefully every day.

Grandma Ke wore her favorite floral shirt in her hospital gown, which added a lot of vitality to the blue and white hospital gown.

Jiang Li heard from Grandma Ke's attending doctor that Grandma Ke is not a local, she was married to Shanghai, and she spoke with a Henan dialect: "Ni, are you also very strange, my old lady is dying of illness, why? Make up every day?"

Grandma Ke looked at Jiang Li's puzzled eyebrows, and asked the question in her heart.

Jiang Li smiled: "Yes, grandma, but I think you must have your own reasons."

Grandma Ke drew her eyebrows seriously in the mirror: "I just think that as a woman, no matter what state we treat life in, even if we are sick, since God has given us time to live, we should treat ourselves well. , don't you think I look better with makeup?"

Jiang Li stared carefully at Grandma Ke's already wrinkled face, he could vaguely see that she was a beauty when she was young, even in her [-]s, she still had an elegant and noble temperament.

After putting on her makeup, Grandma Ke glanced at Jiang Li who was looking at the photos on the wall, and said, "Those are my three sons. They all have successful careers, and the eldest has gone abroad to settle down. I'm afraid I won't be able to see them again in this life. The second child and the third child live far away from me. I really married a wife and forgot my mother. When I get old, I will be hated by others. My daughter-in-law is not welcome. The only person who takes care of me is my grandson, but he also wants to go abroad Going to school, he was scolded and cried by me just now, this child actually wants to refuse the invitation to enter a foreign university for me, old lady, I don’t have much time left, how can I delay the bright future of young people, if I really want to do this, then A few unfilial sons will blame me again."

Grandma Ke's words happened to be heard by her grandson who had just entered the ward. The other party was a boy in his early twenties. His eyes were red and swollen when he came in. Obviously, he had just talked with Deputy Director Li Anran and knew that Grandma didn't have much time left. Cried outside.

Grandma Ke turned her head to look at Jiang Li: "Ni, can you give me some sleeping medicine, I suffer from severe liver pain every night, and I can hardly sleep well."

Jiang Li knew that this was the damage caused by the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells in Granny Ke's body to the liver area.

The grandson hurried to grandma and asked carefully, "Grandma, are you feeling unwell again?"

Granny Ke rubbed her grandson's head: "I brought up this child when he was a little older. It stands to reason that he should have studied abroad a year ago. I delayed it for a year because of my wife, and now I have to delay it for another year." In [-], how can I be willing, a man must have ambitions after all, and he can't always be in love with his daughter, child, you have the courage to face life by yourself, and you have to be self-reliant as soon as possible, grandma can't be with you for the rest of your life."

The grandson whose baby name is Qiuqiu hugged Grandma and cried bitterly, and Grandma Ke rubbed her eyes herself.

Then Granny Ke sent her grandson out, and looked at Jiang Li in front of her: "Ni, I want to sign the agreement not to over-rescue. Don't give me an injection in my heart. I am a university professor. I have been teaching and educating people all my life. I tell my students that to be a man, you must pay attention to the way of the road, and the world is for the public. In this life, you must be worthy of your two Mother, one is the mother who gave birth to us, and the other is the mother of our motherland, but I never thought that I would educate other people's sons to become talented, but my own son..."

Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, Grandma Ke took out an envelope from the box beside her, and handed it to Jiang Li: "So, I lied to those unfilial sons, saying that my wife has a large inheritance, Whoever can come back before I die, I will give this inheritance to him... After I die, you help me deliver this letter to them, and tell them a word..."

Jiang Li accepted Grandma Ke's envelope without opening it, and agreed to her request.

Granny Ke is an educated woman, kind and kind, with wisdom and generosity in her eyes. She never imagined that her sons are so unfilial. The only consolation is her grandson.

Soon, Lu Jiajia brought an agreement to give up excessive rescue and treatment, and Grandma Ke signed it, as if she had fulfilled her last wish.

But the grandson Qiuqiu knelt aside and cried loudly: "Grandma, please don't leave me behind."

Granny Ke stroked her grandson's head: "Son, you don't have to be afraid of rumors from your relatives, saying that you 'killed' me because you refused to let the doctor treat me. This is what I chose to give up, Grandma."

Jiang Li has practiced medicine for so many years, and it is rare to see an elderly person sign this agreement. What's more, no matter how old the death is, the family members will ask the doctor to over-rescue. Died due to illness and emergency rescue failed."

In contemporary society, it seems that there is no such thing as death, only high-tech resistance.

Granny Ke is wise. She is a lady. She thinks that people need dignity when they are born, and they should also need dignity when they die.

Granny Ke smiled: "Ni, have you read Mr. Lu Xun's "Forrest Gump", in which Forrest Gump's mother said a word to Forrest Gump, 'Don't be afraid, death is what we are destined to do. One thing', death is a journey that people must go through, but I don't think it is the end of life, now I finally have the opportunity to explore whether this is the end of life, and whether there is an afterlife after death."

Jiang Li was moved by Grandma Ke's attitude towards death, she put away the envelope, and when she was leaving the ward, she looked back, Grandma Ke was saying goodbye to her weakly.

In the evening, there was a sudden drizzle outside, and today happened to be Wei Ran's mother's birthday, so the four of them made an appointment to go to Wei Ran's house to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Jiang Li sat tiredly on the soft leather seat in Pei Xiaonan's car and fell asleep. When the car stopped in front of a building in the community, she realized that there was light rain falling outside the car window.

Wei Ran's mother lives in the old house of the family. Although the community is a bit old, the environment is quieter. Several people carried the birthday cake and ran upstairs in the light rain.

The door was quickly opened, and inside was a 60-year-old man, gentle and elegant, with a kindness all over his body. He used to be a people's teacher.

Jiang Li handed over the birthday present and said with a gentle smile, "Happy birthday, Aunt Yang."

Teacher Yang naturally recognized a few people, especially when he saw Pei Xiaonan, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he grabbed Pei Xiaonan's hand and greeted him warmly.

Pei Xiaonan was a little at a loss, didn't know what to do, so she could only bite the bullet and enjoy Teacher Yang's excessive enthusiasm like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law.

Since Wei Ran's father passed away, only Wei Ran's mother lived in the huge house, taking care of her son and working at the same time. One can imagine how hard these years have been.

Not long after, Teacher Yang brought out the chicken soup from the kitchen, made a large table of dishes, and warmly entertained several people: "Come and eat, you haven't tasted Auntie's cooking for a long time."

Sitting at the dining table, Wei Ran looked at his sixty-year-old mother along the light, and before he knew it, his mother's temples had turned gray.

Teacher Yang kept picking up food for a few people: "Wei Ran is a rough kid on weekdays, and he doesn't know much about human relationships in the hospital. Thanks to you for taking care of each other."

At this moment, Wei Ran suddenly looked up at his mother and said, "Mom, I want to resign."

As soon as the words came out, the dining table immediately fell silent.

Pei Xiaonan looked at the ignorant Ji Han and Jiang Li, and stabbed Wei Ran again: "Old Wei, what nonsense are you talking about, are you confused?"

Wei Ran's eyes became firmer: "Actually, I have wanted to resign a long time ago, but you have been blocking me, but now I think clearly, the doctor is not my favorite profession, I want to pursue my music while I am young." dream."

Mother Yang was very dissatisfied when she heard her son's words: "If you still know that there is me as a mother, don't mention the resignation!"

"But my dream is to be a singer. I have the right to choose the life I want to live. You can't impose my father's last wish on me!"

When these words came out, Mother Yang stood up completely from the chair: "Shut up, don't continue talking! I don't agree with your resignation!"

Wei Ran was silent for a moment, "I don't need to ask for your permission, I'm already an adult, I can decide the way I want to live my life."

Pei Xiaonan hastily tugged at the corner of Wei Ran's clothes: "Why, old Wei, today is Auntie's birthday, why are you talking about it!"

Yang's mother was so angry that she laughed back: "Okay, you have grown up now, and your wings are stiff. Back then, I didn't let you apply for the conservatory of music and forced you to study medicine. Now you blame me for meddling, are you Your father's son, your father is a great doctor, he devoted his whole life to medicine, even his own life, as his son, you should inherit your father's behest!"

Wei Ran raised his head slowly: "If my father is alive, he will support my choice!"

"Alive?" Yang's mother closed her eyes, "If you insist on resigning and not being a doctor, then don't call me mother in the future, and I will pretend that I never gave birth to your son!"

After saying this, Mother Yang angrily walked back to the room, and slammed the door behind her.

At the dinner table, Jiang Li looked at the steaming food on the table, then at Wei Ran, and asked, "Old Wei, do you have to mention this on Auntie's birthday?"

Wei Ran glanced at the tightly closed door of his mother, and sighed: "After my father passed away, I told my mother that I don't want to be a doctor like my father. But my mother just disagrees, and I don’t know why, why I insist on being a doctor, but now I want to continue to fulfill my dream, I want to sing, I have a music dream, and I don’t want to give up.”

Pei Xiaonan patted Wei Ran on the shoulder: "Old Wei, I support you!"

Jiang Li glared at Pei Xiaonan angrily: "Why are you so crazy!"

Pei Xiaonan shrugged: "Old Wei is an adult, he has the right to choose the life he wants, as friends, we should support him."

Ji Han glanced at Wei Ran, the two were best friends in the hospital, and there was even a private legend about the hospital duo of "Wei Buli Ji". At the same time, he also knew that Wei Ran had the talent to be a doctor. It seems that he was born to be a doctor, but his musical talent is not that good.

"Wei Ran, you know that sometimes love alone is not enough to persist in a career. Making music is much more difficult than you imagined, and it may make you a complete failure."

Wei Ran nodded: "I know, but I still want to fight for my dream."

The three stopped persuading him, and the dinner ended hastily because of the quarrel between the mother and son.

Jiang Li glanced at the time, originally wanted to go home with Ji Han, but suddenly received a call from Lu Jiajia.

"Professor Jiang, Grandma Ke is gone, but the organ coordinator is arguing with Grandma Ke's three sons. Grandma Ke signed an organ donation agreement before she was alive and donated her corneas, but Grandma Ke's sons don't agree. Agree, and keep asking about the relics left by Grandma Ke."

It was only then that Jiang Li remembered the envelope from Grandma Ke that she kept in her bag. She guessed that Grandma Ke's three sons must be looking for this, so she bid farewell to Ji Han, took a taxi and walked towards the hospital.

When Jiang Li arrived at the hospital, Grandma Ke's three sons were making a fuss in the corridor outside the ward. Jiang Li looked at Grandma Ke's three sons coldly. His mother never visited the hospital when she was alive, and now she is dead. , passed away, but came to the hospital to make a fuss.

Grandma Ke's grandson squatted in the corner and cried. The hallway was filled with the noises of Grandma Ke's three sons, but this grandson was the only one who was mourning the death of the old man. If Grandma Ke was alive, Seeing this scene, I will be relieved, after all, I didn't love this grandson in vain.

Grandma Ke's eldest son is also in his [-]s. I heard that Grandma Ke learned on the phone yesterday that she was running out of time and had left a legacy, so he flew back from abroad specially.

Opposite the eldest son is Xiao Zhou, the coordinator of organ donation in the Red Cross, and Xiao Zhou chooses words carefully: "Grandma Ke signed a cornea organ donation with us before she was alive, and there happened to be a 13-year-old child who needed corneas. It is also a continuation of Grandma Ke's life in other people..."

"Enough, I've said it, don't say it anymore!" The eldest son snapped, "I'll say it again, listen to me, don't mention this matter to me again, don't even say it, our family members don't agree!"

Jiang Li had nothing to do about this matter. As a hospital, he had no right to discuss the matter of organ donation with his family members. The mediator of the Red Cross Society could only communicate with them.

The attending doctor in charge of Grandma Ke is Li Anran, deputy director of the Oncology Department, and she is filling out Grandma Ke's death certificate.

At 12:[-] in the evening, Ke Meilan (Grandma Ke's full name) stopped her heartbeat, and the patient gave up over-rescue. Deputy Director Li Anran completed the death certificate. It was [-]:[-] in the evening, and Grandma Ke's life was completed.

The mediator Xiaozhou knew that he would be rejected, but for the sake of the 13-year-old child who needed light, they, as organ donation mediators, had to repeatedly ask in front of the family members of the deceased.

If death is a wound that cannot heal, then organ donation is salt that cannot heal.

"I know that Granny Ke's death makes everyone very sad, but Grandma Ke's life may not be able to continue in this 13-year-old girl. Granny Ke's cornea will give this child new light, and this young girl , will use Grandma Ke's gifts to lead her to appreciate the world again, to continue her life, and to make great merit!"

Grandma Ke's second son stood up from the chair angrily: "What kind of merit is immeasurable, don't say these things are useless, where are the relics left by my mother? We have to take them away!"

The third son also echoed: "Yes, we will take away my mother's belongings!"

Deputy Director Li Anran nodded, and opened the door of the ward where Granny Ke lived: "Grandma Ke lived in this ward before she was alive. All her things are inside, and you can take them away."

The three sons looked at each other, and immediately rushed into the ward where Grandma Ke lived, and searched inside.
The eldest son even took apart the pillow that Grandma Ke slept on, but still couldn't find anything like a bank card. The three of them turned the ward upside down, but still found nothing.

The third son came out and asked Deputy Director Li Anran: "Did you hide the bank card my mother left behind?!"

Li Anran, deputy director, was filled with anger: "This family member, please don't spout blood, speak with evidence!"

The second son took up the conversation: "My mother clearly said that she left the biggest inheritance in her life, and she wanted to leave it to our third brother, but now there is a pile of rags in the ward, and there is nothing of value!"

The grandson squatting in the corner finally couldn't take it anymore, stood up and shouted at the three of them: "Enough is enough!"

With red and swollen eyes, Qiuqiu glared at his father, uncle and second uncle: "It's fine if you don't come when grandma is alive, but now that grandma is gone, you still miss her property!"

The eldest son showed a dazed expression: "Qiaoqiu, you have been with grandma all the time, you must know what legacy grandma left behind?"

Qiuqiu turned his head: "The money left by grandma and grandpa, except for the medical expenses, the remaining tens of thousands of yuan are in the hospital's account. After the medical expenses are settled, you can take the rest of the money .”

"Only a few tens of thousands?" The second son couldn't believe it. "This is impossible. Our mother clearly said that she left us three inheritances. How could it be only tens of thousands?"

Jiang Li looked at the absurd but extremely real scene in front of him, and felt sad for Grandma Ke in his heart, saying that tumors are a "touchstone" to test the relationship between people.

"'There is no filial son before a long-term sick bed', not to mention those relationships that sometimes seem fragile, so, don't test others, let alone expect others to withstand the test. If Granny Ke sees this scene, I don't know how it feels? Deputy Director Li Anran sighed.

Jiang Li remembered the envelope that Grandma Ke asked him to give to her sons, looked at the three people in the corridor, and said, "Grandma Ke asked me to give an envelope to you after she passed away."

The three immediately regained their spirits and asked, "What envelope, where is it?"

Jiang Li took out the envelope from his bag, the envelope was very elegant, and it was specially sealed with wax paint, stamped with Grandma Ke's seal, proving that no one had opened it artificially.

Jiang Li looked at the three of them and said, "Grandma Ke said that this is her most precious legacy left in this world."

The three impatiently snatched the envelope from Jiang Li and tore open it, but they didn't expect that inside was a yellowed family photo.

In the photo, Grandma Ke and Mr. Ke were still very young. At that time, Grandma Ke was really a beauty. She and Mr. Ke held their newborn son in their arms, and the other two older sons who were only seven or eight years old. second son.

The photo was taken in 1970.

Looking at the old yellowed photos in their hands, the three sons froze in place for a moment.

The eldest son flipped through the yellowed photos, and left the last suicide note written by Grandma Ke before her death.

Dabao, Erbao, Qiangya, mother and father, the three of you will leave the greatest wealth in this life!

Mom doesn't resent you, it's because Mom failed your father's entrustment and didn't educate the three of you well...

But no matter how much we resent each other, we will only be mother and son in this life. I don’t know if we can meet again in the next life. Mom is going to find your father. You have to walk well in the future. Mom and dad will watch in the sky looking at you.

Jiang Li glanced at the old photos, and suddenly thought of his mother.

No matter how much the children treat their parents badly, in the heart of the mother, the children will always be the greatest wealth and legacy left by the mother in this life.
