The old man was quite cooperative with this request.
After taking his pulse, Li Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Overall, the old man's health condition is relatively normal.
The old man was getting on in years, and various organs in his body were failing to varying degrees.
All he can do now is use medication to slow down the rate of this decline as much as possible.
"Xiao Chu! If, and I mean if, you take over Lao Mu's care, you must do everything in your power to save him."
"Uncle, you don't need to tell me that, it's a must!"
"Sigh..." The old man sighed with a touch of melancholy, "Almost all of us from that generation have left. As time goes on, there will be fewer and fewer old friends and comrades-in-arms!"
Li Chu truly had no way to deal with this.
Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of life; the most doctors can do is delay them.
Whether it's Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, everyone shares the same goal.
I wish there were no sick people in the world, so that the medicine on the shelves would gather dust.
This is also the wish of every medical worker.
"Uncle, don't think so much! I promise you, I will do my best to treat every patient I treat, and at the very least, I will ensure that they pass away without pain and with dignity!"
"Good boy, good boy!" The old man's face was filled with a gratified smile at this moment.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go ahead and do your thing. Just remember to keep an eye on this old man."
"Okay, Uncle, I'll be going now."
"I'll make a phone call with them tonight about Lao Mu's matter. Just wait for their notification."
Before leaving, Li Chu gave some more instructions to Nurse Ning and Secretary Zhang before preparing to depart.
"Xiao Chu, wait a minute, wait a minute." The old man suddenly called out to him again.
"I heard you're not going to teach at the medical school anymore?"
"Yes, I resigned before the holiday. There are several teachers at the school who are more than enough to teach this course. In addition, I have more and more things to do now. I will soon be supervising two graduate students, so I really don't have the time."
"I thought you were complaining about not getting paid."
...
Li Chu almost exploded from the old man's words. Was he really that greedy?
"Uncle, is this how you see me?"
"Hehe, I was just kidding with you. Come on, come on, hurry up and go."
Seeing the old man waving his hand like he was shooing away flies, Li Chu was both amused and annoyed.
Nurse Ning and Secretary Zhang in the courtyard, as well as the guards a little further away, were all covering their mouths and secretly laughing.
"I was originally planning to let you have a little sip of wine every day, but seeing your attitude, I think I'll pass."
God's Arrival
After saying that, Li Chu turned and left, running faster than a rabbit.
"You brat, get back here and explain yourself. What do you mean by my attitude?"
Looking towards the gate, there was no sign of Li Chu.
The old man sat in his recliner, looking towards the doorway, shaking his head with a smile, muttering to himself, "What a rascal! Doesn't he care about upsetting this old man?"
Secretary Zhang, standing not far behind the old man, revealed a hint of envy in his eyes.
As fellow staff members working alongside the former leader, setting aside the difference in their ranks, he simply couldn't match their mindset.
He would never dare to speak to the old man like that, even if you beat him to death.
The higher you climb, the colder it gets. The old man had been standing on the mountaintop for so long that there were hardly any people left who dared to joke with him casually.
Although there are still a few old friends, one is too old to walk properly, and another old man finds it too troublesome to travel every time.
He simply lived in seclusion in the sanatorium year after year, and only Li Chu, who visited him every two or three days, could bring him some laughter.
The old man knew perfectly well that Li Chu had done all of this on purpose, just to help him adjust his mindset.
Thinking of this, the old man lowered the back of the recliner a little, leaned back, closed his eyes, and hummed a tune he had heard somewhere.
Having reached the parking lot, Li Chu greeted the staff at the sanatorium and got into his car.
Back at the hospital, he first went to the medical office and asked them to submit an application to the headquarters office to transfer Zhao Zhijun over to continue working as his assistant.
After arranging this matter, he returned to his office.
On the way, he thought of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang because of Uncle Wu.
He plans to discuss it with his wife tonight and bring Aunt Wang over to live here.
Uncle Wang is often away from home due to work, and Aunt Wang must be very lonely at home alone.
When the children were younger, she could visit them often. Now that they are all grown up and busy with their own things, she rarely goes back to visit them anymore.
It will be much more lively if we move here.
Moreover, there are plenty of houses here, so arranging accommodation for two guards is quite easy.
Even though they have to go to work during the day, they still have the older sister next door and Aunt Ding.
When Uncle Wang comes back, he can stay here, so that the two old folks won't be so bored.
Thinking of Ding's mother, he also thought of his wife's younger brother, who was a real headache.
He picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
Hurry up and transfer Ding Jianguo to a different job, lest he and that woman rekindle their romance.
With his current network of connections, transferring jobs like this would be as simple as making a phone call.
After he finished the deal, he hung up the phone. The person on the other end readily agreed, and the transfer order would be delivered in a week at most.
"Dong dong dong"
Just as I picked up the newspaper from the table, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in," Li Chu said loudly, putting down the newspaper in his hand.
He was filled with questions as the person walked into his office. Why would this person come here?
"Director Yang?"
"Hello, Dean Li!"
"Please have a seat, Director Yang. What brings you here...?"
After inviting the visitor to sit down, Li Chu looked at the person who had succeeded Vice Minister Cheng a couple of years ago and asked him with a puzzled expression.
Due to work-related issues, although he is still a member of the health care team, he doesn't actually have much contact with the health bureau.
Even when there are patients who require his intervention, it is usually the head of their Second Health Care Division who notifies him.
If the patient still has their military affiliation, then the headquarters or the hospital will directly assign them the task.
That's why he found it strange that Director Yang came to see him today.
"Dean Li, it's like this, I have a patient's information here, and I would like to trouble you to take a look."
As he spoke, Director Yang took out a stack of documents from his bag and placed them on his desk.
Li Chu didn't say much, just took it and looked through it.
This stack of documents includes handwritten medical records, X-ray films, CT reports, lab test results, and so on.
