Seeing Shen Anning come in, everyone took the initiative to greet her.
"Dr. Xiao Shen is here. I heard you got married. Thank you for thinking of us and sending us wedding candy."
"Yes, Dr. Shen, congratulations on your wedding, and may you have a long and happy marriage. Yes, a long and happy marriage."
"Happy wedding, may you have a long and happy marriage!"
The ten patients in the ward were all elderly men, not much different in age from Grandpa Shen and the others.
When Professor Cheng and his fellow doctors first established this clinical project, not only the patients in the hospital but also many doctors in the same field were skeptical about it, especially the middle-aged people whose conditions were not so serious. When they heard about the clinical trial, those with good tempers refused directly to show their respect, while those with bad tempers even started to curse. What clinical trial? To put it bluntly, it was just testing drugs on them. It sounded good, and they could have lived a few more years. What if the experiment failed?
In fact, they dare not gamble, and are even more afraid of losing!
Therefore, in the end, those who volunteered to participate in the clinical trial were all elderly. Their former colleagues and partners who had walked with them had passed away or died, and they had seen too much. They said that they were indifferent to life and death and were willing to test the drugs on themselves. At the same time, they were not indifferent, because everyone still wanted to live, to seize every opportunity they could to live, to see again this developing country and world that they had created with their own efforts, and to spend time with their families whom they missed so much.
Shen Anning walked over and first thanked the grandfathers for their blessings to her, and then said: “Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Li, you two can’t eat too much sugar, are you not greedy?”
"No, no, the nurse who gave us candy was very strict. We only ate one each..."
Looking at the somewhat childish grandfathers, Shen Anning laughed out loud, and the atmosphere in the ward, which had been a little depressing just now, became a little more relaxed. Every time it was time to report the patient's condition, everyone was afraid and sad.
"Okay, come on, Uncle Wang, let's continue where you were just now. How much sputum have you coughed up in recent days? Have you coughed more frequently..."
Standing beside the bed, I checked everyone's medication status over the past few days. Among the ten people, some had better results, while others naturally had less obvious results. However, these things cannot be said in this ward.
Back in the office, Mr. Cheng sat in the chair with a frown on his face. Although the prescription changed during this period was better than before, these people were elderly after all, and their physical functions were far inferior to those of young and middle-aged people. While the efficacy of the medicine was improving, the lesions in their bodies were also getting worse.
"master,,,"
"It's okay, let's study it further. We're all old now!"
When people get older, they will leave, just like what people used to say, life and death are predestined!
The old man sitting in the chair completely ignored himself, forgetting that he was older than those in the ward, forgetting the suffering and fatigue he had endured in the past ten years, and forgetting that he also needed to rest well.
Shen Anning followed the senior brother out of the office, walked a little further away, and handed over the bag in his hand, "Senior brother, this is young ginseng and some supplements. I usually have to go to school to study, so I'll trouble the senior brothers and sisters to take care of the master."
"Don't worry, I'm taking care of Master's health, but he must still be unwilling to accept this." To be killed at the peak of his medical skills... Ten years is too long for anyone.
Following the white woven lights on the top of the hospital's white walls, I looked inside one by one and saw the exclusive research ward. Inside, there was still an optimistic old man who was about to leave them, even though everyone had worked hard together for a long, long time...
The two senior brothers and sisters looked at each other, and Shen Anning squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Senior brother, I'm going to the archives to look at the case."
"Oh, by the way, An Ning, Director Qi will be teaching a practical course for graduate students at the school next semester. If you don't have classes in the morning, you can come find her here and follow her as she does her ward rounds."
Knowing that the senior brother was giving her a practical foundation in advance, Shen Anning nodded, "Okay, senior brother, I understand."
I read three case reports in the archives and wrote down my own thoughts and insights. It was already getting dark, six o'clock, just the right time.
Walking out of the hospital gate, the smell of disinfectant was gone in the space. Shen Anning thought about making a non-greasy braised pork for the grandfathers in the ward tomorrow.
When I rode my bike back to school, I saw Cao Jingheng's bike from a distance.
I originally wanted to lock my bike in the school's parking shed, but just as I was about to enter the school gate, the bike stopped moving...
"What, are you pretending not to see me?"
Giving up the struggle, he said, "I was just thinking of parking the bike in the carport first. You ride and I'll sit in the back."
On the way home, I noticed that my wife was in a bad mood. She was in a good mood at noon. "What's wrong? Did someone make my baby unhappy?"
Shen Anning patted the man driving the car and said, "Who can make me unhappy? Hey, I went to the hospital in the afternoon. Didn't I tell you about my master's research project before? There is a grandfather who is in poor health and may die in the next few days." This is the first person who may leave since the implementation of the project. Although there will be more people leaving in the future, she always feels sad. Looking at such an optimistic person who is full of expectations for life, Shen Anning only regrets that she can't come up with a panacea.
Cao Jingheng looked at his wife, who was about to break down, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort her. He understood her feelings very well, and his wife wanted to be a doctor in the future. "An Ning, you know what? The old man may have already prepared himself to leave this world, so he's enjoying himself now and doing his best to make those around him happy."
They had dinner at Shen's house. Cao Jingheng had no difficulty in adapting to eating at his father-in-law's house. Compared to the reservedness before marriage, he was now extremely comfortable.
Cao's grandparents were still in Tianjin and had not returned yet. When his grandfather called, he said that he had discovered a business opportunity there and wanted to investigate it with some friends from the local Commerce Bureau. Cao Jingheng said that his grandfather had been in business all his life and his habits could not be changed!
At the dinner table, Shen Erbao looked at his uncle sitting next to him and felt unhappy. Although he was very good to him, he had kidnapped his aunt!
"snort."
A snort made everyone at the dinner table look at Shen Erbao. Everyone was eating, and his "snort" with a baby voice was too obvious.
"What's wrong, Erbao? Your uncle will pick up whatever you want to eat." Cao Jingheng had no idea that the little guy was targeting him. He looked at Shen Erbao and asked very sincerely!
The little guy was a little embarrassed when asked this, and said softly: "Thank you, uncle, I want to eat meat."
A table of understanding people watched the interaction between the two, and Shen Anning sat on the side, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
After leaving the Shen family, Shen Anning told the man beside her what had just happened at the dinner table.
"Good boy, it turns out Erbao was humphing at me."
"Let's come back tomorrow night to piss him off."
Shen Anning was also speechless. Men really become more childish as they grow older.
