I am a small factory doctor re-walking my life.

When Li Tang put on his white coat and came up, the child's parents were standing at the large glass outside the ward with haggard faces, looking into the ward.

Due to the special circumstances of the child, they live in a single room. This allows the young parents, who are ordinary workers, to live in the same room, saving them some extra expenses.

The whole floor was very quiet, and there was no noise like shouting and running around. The young parents who were looking at the ward heard footsteps coming from behind. When they looked back, they found that they had just arrived here the day before yesterday and were being treated. The young doctor the doctor called.

Because they didn't know Li Tang, the young couple just nodded at him and continued to look inside the ward.

The child in the hospital bed may be sleeping soundly at the moment because he is using a ventilator to make him more comfortable.

The nurse at the nursing station not far away saw Li Tang and hurried over.

"Teacher Li"

"Well, Xiao Hou, call the doctor in charge."

"Okay, Teacher Li, please wait a moment."

A simple conversation made the young couple realize that this doctor should be a leader or something, but now they don't care about the leader or not, they just hope that someone can save their poor daughter, but when they see themselves When their daughter's doctor in charge, Dr. Sun Hongwei, who was also the floor director, walked over quickly and greeted the young doctor with great respect, they suddenly realized that this doctor seemed to be no ordinary leader.

"Teacher, you are here."

Sun Hongwei has been with Li Tang for a long time, and he is also the one who has been taken care of for the longest time. He and Guan Xiaoze are the only two people in the whole hospital who are named differently from others.

"Red Guard, are you Niuniu's doctor?"

"Yes, after arranging to come here the day before yesterday, I personally picked him up."

"Has the medicine been effective in the past two days?" Li Tang reached out to take the medical record from Sun Hongwei's hand and asked while flipping through it.

Today is the fourth day. You can basically tell whether it is working or not after taking three doses of the medicine. If there is still no effect after taking three doses of the medicine, it means that the medicine is not suitable for the disease and it is time to change the medicine.

"It's minimal." Sun Hongwei shook his head with a stern expression. This was the first time he had heard of this disease. It was treated according to the dialectical classification of impotence due to spleen and stomach qi deficiency. Unfortunately, as he said, the effect was not achieved after three days. Almost nothing.

"Director Sun..."

The father of the child on the side was anxious to interrupt, but Sun Hongwei quickly raised his hand to signal him to calm down.

"Comrade Ren Rongming, don't worry, my teacher is here, he will definitely have a solution."

Confirming that they had heard correctly, this young doctor was really the director's teacher. The young couple looked at Li Tang in surprise, who was looking down at the medical records.

"Hongwei, did you give your child any medicine today?"

"I came here to check the bed this morning and found that the medicine I took before had almost no effect, so I didn't prescribe any more medicine today."

Sun Hongwei knew that according to usual practice, the teacher would definitely come back to see the children today, so he was not in a hurry.

"Um"

Li Tang nodded, reached out and pushed open the ward door and walked in. He went directly to the bedside and took the child's pulse.

After prescribing medicine, acupuncture, and teaching new massage movements to the children and parents, it was already more than an hour before I walked out of the ward.

"Hongwei, the medicine I prescribed is for the child to take for three consecutive days, twice a day. Please tell the nurse that there must be a twelve-hour interval between each dose."

"I see."

"Did you understand the acupuncture technique I just gave the child?"

"I understand." "Okay, it will still be the same time tomorrow. You can give your child acupuncture, and it should not exceed ten minutes each time. I have written it in the doctor's order. You will read it carefully later."

"I understand, teacher."

"Is the door of the small conference room open?"

"It's open."

"Well, the patient's family..." Li Tang turned to the ward and called.

"Here comes doctor."

"The child won't wake up in a while. You two come to the conference room with me. I have something to tell you."

"Okay." The couple looked at each other and responded at the same time, a little nervously.

In the small conference room, after asking the couple to sit down, Sun Hongwei poured a glass of water for them.

Li Tang picked up the cup and took a sip of water. He sorted out his words, looked at the young couple sitting opposite him and asked, "How old are you?"

"Uh... I'm twenty-five and my wife is twenty-four."

"At the hospital in Shanghai, they should tell you exactly what disease the child has, right?"

"I told you, it's spinal muscular atrophy."

"Then they didn't say what the disease actually is?"

"I told you, it's almost... hopeless." The young father said with some difficulty.

"I would venture to ask, you are still so young. After finding out that your child has such a nearly hopeless disease, have you never thought about having another child?"

"I've thought about it, but why haven't I?" The young father smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But every time I see my daughter's innocent smile, I can't bear to give up on her."

Having said this, he turned to look at his wife who was wiping tears beside him, reached out to hold her hand, then turned to look at Li Tang again and said, "Here we are, the Director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai University introduced us. Yes, to tell you the truth, this is our last hope."

Sigh... Li Tang sighed silently in his heart.

"I don't know how your hospital in Shanghai introduced this disease to you at that time. I have to tell you a very cruel reality. After this disease was discovered and named by European doctors in 1890, it has been A hundred years later, there is still no cure for this disease."

Seeing that the young mother raised her head and wanted to say something with red eyes, Li Tang raised his hand to stop him and said, "Listen to me first. The reason why I asked you to come over to talk is to ask a few things clearly before I tell you. You guys have some things."

"Excuse me."

"First of all, do you have a job?"

"My child's mother and I both have jobs. We took a leave from the factory before coming here."

"Can your family support you without working for a long time?"

"Uh...this..."

The child's father's hesitation said everything. Li Tang continued without waiting for his answer: "I understand. Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. First, I am confident that the child will survive, but... It’s just survival, no quality of life at all. In other words, if you think she can go out and play like an ordinary child in the future, jumping around like that, it’s almost impossible.”

"Second, even simple survival requires long-term treatment. As for the treatment time, I can't tell now. It may be one year, it may be two years."
