Chapter 344 It can be cured, but it costs money!

"It's not that I don't trust your character." Huo Jianguo sighed, "Do you know what I was doing last week? Studying.

Learn the qualities of integrity and the slogan of integrity, four hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon every day.

When I dream now, my mind is filled with the idea that being honest is an honor and being corrupt is a shame. Corruption is a sin, and honesty is a virtue. I also want to be honest and upright, foster a righteous spirit, fight corruption, promote integrity, and promote social harmony.

Being honest and dedicated is our responsibility, serving the people is our purpose..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't recite anymore. I understand. This is a stress response caused by hearing it too much." Su Mei looked at Huo Jianguo sympathetically. If a rough man who fought on the frontier was asked to learn these things, he would probably be overwhelmed all day long.

Huo Jianguo asked Su Mei in confusion: "What is a stress response?"

"It's just an adjective, meaning that you've heard too many brainwashing slogans like this, and you instinctively resist seeing me accepting gifts." This is not a stress response. Su Mei just habitually uttered an Internet term.

In the past, she would only use this word to argue with the keyboard warrior, but she couldn't explain it this way to Huo Jianguo 2.

But Huo Jianguo nodded after hearing this explanation: "Yes, I just resisted instinctively! However, her son's surgery was very difficult to perform. According to what she said, she found you after looking for many people who failed.

Those old doctors must have performed more surgeries! If they don't dare to take the case, does that mean they can't do the surgery?

Wouldn't it be a pity if he died on the operating table after surgery when he could have lived a few more years? "

"I have to go and see it first." Su Mei said with a sigh.

If she undergoes this operation, it will put a lot of pressure on Su Mei.

Just like Huo Jianguo said, she dared to perform surgeries that many experienced doctors did not dare to take.

Despite the fact that Su Mei may have more experience with the knife than them.

Modern doctors have more opportunities to perform operations on the operating table.

There is a long line of people waiting for surgeries in big hospitals every day.

Because modern living conditions are good, ordinary people also have the opportunity to see a doctor.

This era is different. Not to mention the bad living conditions, many people can only wait to die when they get sick.

Even people with good conditions are unlikely to accept such a major surgery.

Few people undergo surgery. Except for injuries that require surgery, it is possible that the hospital's operating room may not receive a single surgery for several days.

Therefore, compared with those older doctors, Su Mei may have more experience in surgery and the knowledge she has learned is more advanced and comprehensive.

But only Su Mei herself knew this.

Once she has the surgery, I guess everyone in the medical field will be staring at her.

When Su Mei performed surgery on Liu Cuiyun, she was still an unknown person, yet she still attracted much attention.

With her current status, taking that surgery would be like being put on the fire.

Su Mei could speak righteously, and she also knew that as a doctor, she must have a sense of mission as a doctor, but when she thought carefully about the situation, she still felt very stressed.

She couldn't say such words out loud, she could only digest it herself.

The couple enjoyed the cool air in the yard for a while, listened to the radio for a while, and then went back to the house to sleep.

"You wanted to squeeze me, but now you come and beg me to be squeezed?" Huo Jianguo seduced Su Mei as soon as he lay on the bed.

But Su Mei was not in a good mood today. She hugged Huo Jianguo's arm and said in a muffled voice: "I'm very tired today. I want to go to bed early."

"Then sleep well, I'm just teasing you!" Huo Jianguo was still tired after walking all day to look for an apartment.

He turned Su Mei over and rubbed her legs and back: "Massage before you go to sleep. You don't exercise regularly now. If you don't massage, you will feel pain when you go downstairs tomorrow."

Under Huo Jianguo's gentle pressure, Su Mei fell asleep unknowingly.

The next morning, Su Mei went to the airport hospital early.

Go to the dean first to discuss the clinical experiment.

The hospital will issue a public account to recruit pregnant women who are due to give birth in three months to participate in the birth experiment and give birth in the hospital for free.

The reason why the appointment is made three months later is because it takes time to make prostaglandins into a drug that can be used normally, and it also takes time to sign up the trial participants.

After finalizing the matter with the dean, Su Mei went to the surgery department to find Sun Dai and went with her to see her son.

In the ward, the skinny and weak little kid was lying obediently on the bed.

Su Mei remembered that this child was more lively and naughty in front of her, but in front of Sun Dai, he seemed to restrain a lot of his nature.

There was a note on the bed with the child's name and age written on it. Su Mei took a look and saw that the child's name was Deng Lele, and he was eight years old.

The eight-year-old child looks about the same size as six-year-old Qiuqiu.

His arm was very thin, and when Su Mei picked it up, she felt like she could only feel a handful of bones.

After checking the child's pulse, Su Mei found that the child's pulse was disordered.

Just by looking at the pulse, Su Mei knew that the child would not live long.

Saying that he won't be able to grow to adulthood is a conservative estimate. Judging from this pulse rate, he can only live for another two or three years.

"Auntie, is my illness very serious? If it can't be cured, then don't treat it. It's just a bottomless pit. I'd rather leave the money to my mother so that she can live a better life in the future." The child was only eight years old, but he spoke like an adult.

Although the child was pitiful, Su Mei did not want to lie to him: "Whether it can be cured or not, I need to discuss it with your mother before making a decision. If it can be cured, your mother will not care how much it costs.

But if you can’t get well, no matter how much money you save, your mother won’t be happy, so you have to work hard to take care of yourself.”

After hearing what Su Mei said, Lele fell silent.

Although he is still young, he can understand everything.

After taking the pulse, Su Mei followed Sun Dai to her office.

When they arrived at the office, Sun Dai gave Su Mei her son's medical records and all the test results.

Su Mei read the medical records and test results with a frown on her face.

Seeing Su Mei put down the medical records and healed, Sun Dai hurriedly asked:

"Doctor Su, can you cure it?"

Looking at Sun Dai's anxious eyes, Su Mei shook her head at her apologetically.

“No...can’t I?” Sun Dai’s eyes dimmed instantly, like the gray yellow leaves that suddenly fell from the trees in autumn. She hesitantly said, “I know!”

"The surgery cannot be performed for the time being, but I have another treatment plan. Do you want to try it?" Su Mei looked at Sun Dai and asked.

The dim eyes lit up again: "What plan?"

"His physical condition is very poor. I can prescribe Chinese medicine for him to regulate his physical condition and make his heart strong enough to withstand the labor of blood clotting.

This process will be very long, probably one or two years, during which time I will have to repeat the medicinal baths and acupuncture treatments." Su Mei replied.

Sun Dai nodded as if she had found a life-saving straw: "It can be cured. As long as it can be cured, I will accept any plan."

"Traditional Chinese medicine can't cure it." Su Mei shook her head. "This kind of organic heart disease can only be corrected through surgery. What I can do is to strengthen his physique, control the progression of his disease, and let him restore his normal coagulation function as much as possible before the surgery.

In fact, for this type of organic heart disease, the best time to undergo surgery is between three and six years old. Now that the time has passed, it is better to take good care of him and wait until he is better before doing the surgery!"

"Two years?" Sun Dai asked.

Su Mei nodded: "Yes, you can think about it, discuss it with your family, and then make a decision."

After a brief hesitation, Sun Dai made a decision: "Doctor Su, I'll do as you say."

"Two years is a long time. If you are sure to let me take over and treat you with traditional Chinese medicine, I will charge you... Also, this matter is very important, do you really not need to discuss it with your family?" To treat a child like this requires a lot of pressure and energy. It is impossible for Su Mei to do it without taking a penny.

She thought it was better to make things clear.

Sun Dai nodded: "Of course, you have worked so hard for such a long time, how can I let you work for nothing? I must pay you... As for my family, Lele is my only family, I have no one to discuss this with."

"How much will Lele's surgery cost?" Su Mei asked.

When Su Mei asked, Sun Dai told her truthfully: "Ten thousand."

"Give me eight thousand in two years." Su Mei directly stated her conditions.

Although Su Mei said she would charge a fee, Sun Dai didn't expect her to ask for so much, and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Sun Dai's expression, Su Mei added: "This eight thousand includes the cost of surgery in two years. I will do the surgery for free when you are well again."

Having said that, Sun Dai felt that Su Mei was much better.

After hearing this, Sun Dai felt that Su Mei didn't want it anymore.

"I'll give you all ten thousand yuan. After the surgery in two years, I'll take as much money as I can. Now you're the only one willing to save Lele, Su Mei, thank you so much." Sun Dai's eyes were red.

Su Mei smiled and shook her head: "You're welcome. I'm taking money from people, not doing charity. Just give me 8,000. You and the child still have to live in the future. If I take it all, I'll become Huang Shiren."

"Don't talk nonsense." Sun Dai glanced at Su Mei nervously, "Even if I give you money, you can't tell anyone. It's illegal to practice medicine privately. We can only do this privately.

Actually, this is quite risky for you. Your current status is so noble that you don't need to take this risk at all. This little money is nothing to you.

So thank you so much! ”

A noble status cannot be used as money.

Besides, she really needs money right now. These eight thousand yuan will allow her to buy a yard in Wangfujing.

As for Lele, strengthening her body through Chinese medicine and acupuncture was one reason she decided to postpone the surgery. Two years later, China would enter the 1980s, and medical conditions would have a qualitative leap after the economic opening up.

The success rate of surgery is much higher after two years, but the specific probability can only be evaluated two years later.

Since Lele needed treatment, Sun Dai had to take him to the city.

The airport hospital is close to the airport, which is quite remote. Su Mei wants to give her child acupuncture, and it is not convenient for her to come here every day.

It just so happened that Su Mei was moving with Li Shufen, and Chu Tian's yard was too empty, so it was perfect to rent the empty house to Sun Dai.

Since she had already agreed to the treatment, Sun Dai naturally agreed to move immediately.

The rent is the same as Chu Tian's.

After discussing Lele's treatment, Sun Dai took Su Mei to the cafeteria for lunch.

After getting their meal, seeing that the cafeteria was crowded, Sun Dai took Su Mei to the house where she and Lele lived.

In the basement of the dormitory building behind the hospital.

It was damp and shabby inside.

Although the place was kept warm and clean, Su Mei always felt there was a moldy smell in the air.

After sitting down, Su Mei couldn't help but ask, "Why do you live here with your children?"

"This is the room the hospital assigned to me. It's free. The staff dormitories are shared by two or three people in one room, and I don't have the money to buy family housing from the hospital, so it's good to have this room. This is already a special care from the dean for me." After saying this, Sun Dai smiled bitterly.

No wonder the child’s face is so pale. It would be strange if he had any color on his face after living in the basement for so long.

Although Su Mei had known Sun Dai for such a long time, she didn't know much about her other than her name.

Now that they were all sitting together to eat, Su Mei asked a few questions:

"Are you taking care of the child yourself? Where is the father?"

"LeLe was diagnosed with congenital heart disease when he was born. His grandmother wanted me to abandon him to fend for himself, but I refused.

After I finished my confinement, the child’s father divorced me, and we haven’t had any contact for seven years.

This city is neither big nor small. I haven't run into him in seven years, and my children have never seen him since they were young.

I got divorced with a child, but my family members refused to agree. My parents even went to the hospital to ask me to return the child.

Later, when the child was older, my mother would always nag him about how much money he had spent on medical treatment and how he had implicated me.

The child could understand these words. In order not to cause me trouble, he ran away and hid, and almost died.

Because of this, I simply cut off contact with my family. Now I can be said to be a lonely person, with no one to discuss things with. "

When Su Mei heard this, she felt that the situation was similar to Li Shufen's.

It’s just that Sun Dai is more capable and has the ability to break away from her original family and marriage.

Moreover, she was very calm when she talked about these things. I don’t know if she was used to suffering, so she didn’t care that much when it was mentioned.

Su Mei couldn't bear to hear these tragic things. She felt a little sad and said softly:

"My child, I will cure you. When Lele recovers, your life will be full of sunshine from now on."

"Thank you." Sun Dai looked at Su Mei and smiled.

Although life was full of suffering, Su Mei saw in Sun Dai the willpower to not succumb to fate.

Many ordinary people have this kind of willpower.

She felt sorry for them and admired them.

But I don’t want to praise their bravery, because suffering should not be praised.

In the endless river of time, suffering is like a heavy and profound painting, silently telling the vicissitudes and sorrows of the world.

Every stroke of this painting is filled with suffering, and they should not be lightly praised as heroic or magnificent.

Because these sufferings are not the result of choice, but the ruthless arrangement of fate.

Those who are arranged cannot escape and can only endure it silently until the end of their lives.

The rope is always picking out the smallest details, and misfortune is always picking out the unfortunate people.

When Su Mei heard about these people's lives, she could only sigh endlessly in her heart.
