People have an innate fear of getting sick. When doctors ask for a physical examination, many people are unwilling to do so. They are afraid that if the results are positive, they will die. This kind of thinking is very common among the public.
Doctors can do nothing for these patients. They can only wait until the disease occurs and then treat them. Whether they can be cured or not, doctors can only do their best.
Listening to the family members' complaints, Xie Wanying remembered Teacher Sun's advice and did not respond at all, following Teacher Tan's instructions.
Seeing that she had finished the examination, Tan Kelin came over and felt the lump on the patient.
Needless to say, the teacher's movements were much more experienced than her student's. She pressed with her fingers and let go immediately when she touched the lump. She finished the physical examination in seconds and ended with a sentence: "Get up."
Teacher Tan is a senior doctor, so he would have just felt the wound and felt what was going on, unlike her, a student who cherished the opportunity to practice. Anyway, the final result would only be known after the operation.
The two sick sons helped their old mother up and pulled up her clothes and pants, showing their filial piety indeed.
Time was running out, and the first patient had been removed for ten minutes. So Xie Wanying received another look from the teacher: What did you say?
Teacher Tan was probably testing her. While the patient and his family were dawdling by the bed, Xie Wanying whispered to the teacher, "I think it's OK. The examination at the other hospital showed no metastasis for the time being. I didn't feel any metastasis either. Besides, if we don't do it, it will be very painful for the patient to die of intestinal obstruction."

Sometimes, doctors perform surgery to consider the pain of the patient before death. It may be a torment for an elderly patient to undergo surgery, but medical students also know how painful it is for patients who die of intestinal obstruction. Their stomachs feel like they are blocked by a huge rock, and they can only toss and turn in pain until they die.
The biggest obstacle for doctors to perform surgery on this patient was not the tumor, but the poor cardiopulmonary function. The patient was afraid that he would not be able to get off the operating table because the surgery would take a long time. The surgeon needed to perform the surgery very quickly. So the other hospital recommended the patient to see Dr. Tan.
"Our hospital's cardiology department is very good, we can invite them for consultation." Xie Wanying continued, "However, I personally don't think this patient has organic heart and lung function problems, and she can adjust her physical condition before and after the operation. Let's explain clearly to the family first. Her situation will cost a lot. But I think her son is filial and should give her some money."
After saying this, Xie Wanying waited for the teacher's decision, saying that she was an intern and had no right to admit patients.
As if listening to her, Tan Kelin flipped through the medical record and covered it again. No one could see what he was thinking in his eyes half covered by his bangs.
The two sons helped the old woman sit back in the chair and asked the doctor: "Doctor Tan, how is my mother doing?"
Tan Kelin raised his eyes, his eyes were a little cold as usual, and his tone was gentle and professional: "Let me make it clear to you first. There is a high possibility that she will not be able to get off the operating table, and even if she does, she may not survive the two weeks after the operation."
"We know all this. The doctor at the previous hospital told us." The patient's two sons were worried that he would not agree and hurried to emphasize, "It's okay, doctor, we will bear the risk ourselves."
"When you sign the consent form for the surgery, you must read it carefully before signing." Tan Kelin did not change his attitude because of the other party's words.
"Of course, of course." The patient and his family nodded. "Don't worry, doctor, we will never cause any trouble for you."
"Can you call and ask when there will be a vacant bed in the ward?"
