Traditional Chinese Medicine: The first surgery went viral on the Internet

"That's me. Don't stand at the door. Let your friend come in."

Fang Xin put down the coffee in her hand, put on the mask, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with a serious face.

"Forehead……"

After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man brought his friend to Fang Xin, but his face was still full of worry and suspicion.

Fang Xin looked nothing like a serious doctor.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Xin asked, staring at the man in front of him.

"Doctor, I feel sick after eating recently. I often vomit after eating a few bites. Sometimes I have severe stomach pain."

"At first I didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was caused by my poor stomach, but the pain just now made me faint, so I came to the hospital."

"Now I feel fine again. Doctor, do you think my illness can be cured?"

The middle-aged man said with a haggard face.

At first, he did not take it seriously, but as his stomachache and vomiting became more and more severe, he realized���Something was wrong.

He had originally planned to come to the hospital after these few days, but who would have thought that he would faint today? If his good friend had not happened to be there, he would not know what terrible thing would happen next.

"How long have you been in this condition?"

After pressing the patient's abdomen and seeing that he had no expression on his face and no signs of pain, Fang Xin continued to ask.

"Almost half a year."

When saying this, Fang Xin clearly felt the embarrassment of the patient. This behavior was clearly irresponsible to his own body.

However, Fang Xin did not say much. The incident had already happened. It was obviously meaningless to continue asking why he did not come to see a doctor earlier.

It would be better to focus on some practical issues.

"I cannot make an accurate judgment based on your current description, but I can be sure that your current condition is not serious enough for you to delay any longer. You must take it seriously immediately."

"So, go get an abdominal ultrasound first to see what's wrong with your body. We'll do the next step of analysis after we get the film."

After that, Fang Xin skillfully operated the computer and wrote a list of abdominal ultrasounds for the patient in front of him.

"Doctor Fang, is it necessary to do this?"

"I feel that there is nothing wrong with my body now. It must have been an accident. Let's just forget it."

Looking at the price of 225 yuan on the medicine bill, the patient in front of him fell into deep thought. He could only earn more than 100 yuan a day working, and now just a check-up costs him 225 yuan. Who knows how much money he will have to spend after the check-up?

"You can earn money again if you lose it, but you only have one life."

"As a doctor, I have no right to stop you, but I would like to ask you to think carefully about this. You have fainted once. Who can guarantee that you can wake up next time you faint?

Fang Xin can see the patient's concerns. Since becoming a doctor, Fang Xin has also seen all kinds of people.

Some patients want the best for their treatment, some patients want to save as much as possible, and some people give up treatment in the end because of financial pressure.

As a doctor, Fang Xin is really reluctant to give up any patient, but if a patient is determined to stop treatment, they as doctors can do nothing.

"Lao Zhang, the doctor is right. You wait here."

"I'll pay for the checkup first. It's important for us to see a doctor. As long as we are healthy, we can make money all the time!"

After taking the bill, Lao Zhang's friend left the office, leaving Lao Zhang and Fang Xin staring at each other.

At this moment, Lao Zhang really didn't know how to face the doctor in front of him.

"Drink some water first, and wait for your friend to pay the fee and get checked. It may not be a serious illness."

"What's more, don't we all have medical insurance now? The government will reimburse you

, don't worry."Fang Xin tried his best to comfort the patient in front of him. He was really worried that the patient would delay timely treatment because of money.

If it really takes until that time, even if there is money, it may not be cured.

……

Two hours later,

Lao Zhang and his friend appeared in Fang Xin's office again with the test results.

Looking at Lao Zhang's X-ray film, Fang Xin fell into deep thought.

At this moment, seeing Fang Xin's increasingly serious expression, Lao Zhang and his friend beside him also became nervous. The hospital's film was too professional for them to understand, but they could still infer something from the doctor's expression.

"Doctor Fang, will my illness cost a lot of money?

Seeing Fang Xin refused to speak for a long time, Lao Zhang asked

"You see, this is where your gallbladder is."

"Compared to a normal person's gallbladder, yours is much larger, and there is fluid and lumps inside, which are obviously symptoms of gallstones."

Fang Xin said, while constantly drawing on the slide with his hands, trying to make Lao Zhang better understand what he said.

"Gallstones?"

"Doctor Fang, please take another closer look at me. How could I possibly have this disease?"

"You must be mistaken. I just felt uncomfortable but now I am fine. It is not gallstones."

After learning that he had gallstones, Lao Zhang kept repeating this. He also had some knowledge about gallstones. This disease requires surgery.

Once an operation is performed, not only is the cost of the operation a considerable expense, but there are also the subsequent recuperation costs and lost wages. He cannot afford such a price.

"Please trust my judgment. I am a professional doctor and I will not make mistakes."

"Uncle Zhang, gallstones are not an incurable disease, they can be cured."

Looking at the confused old Zhang, Fang Xin comforted him again and again.

According to the test film, the old Zhang's gallstones must be removed immediately, otherwise it will seriously affect his future life, and if not treated, it will eventually cost him his life!

"Doctor Fang, this disease will cost a lot of money. I am not afraid that you will laugh at me, an old man."

"My child needs to go to school and my wife can't do heavy work. If I treat the disease now, my family will have trouble making ends meet."

"Just tell me how long I can last. I will take advantage of this time to work more jobs to earn more money for my children and my wife, so that they won't suffer so much in the future."

As he spoke, Lao Zhang's tears flowed down.

No one doesn't want to treat the disease, and he is no exception, but his family really can't afford it.
