Chapter 99 I’m not treating cancer!
Every human being is born with oncogenes. Once activated and developed, cancer cells will rapidly develop in the human body with an overbearing attitude and extremely destructive ability.
If the person is in good health, it would be fine. Strong resistance can naturally slow down the spread of cancer cells.
But once the person's physical fitness declines and resistance becomes weak, the cancer cells will spread rapidly to other parts of the patient's body like a bloodthirsty charging thug!
This is why smoking tops the list of risk factors for lung cancer patients!
Tobacco itself contains a lot of carcinogens, so when the smoke enters the lungs, it will turn the originally light red lungs of the human body into a brown-black color like bacon...
It goes without saying that lungs that feel like bacon cannot possibly have high immunity.
Once the oncogenes in the lungs are activated, how can the lungs, whose resistance has long been reduced to below the red line due to smoke and years of exposure to large amounts of carcinogens, resist the invasion of cancer cells?
As for the consequences that follow, you can naturally imagine!
Su Tang looked at the yellow marks on Wei Feng's finger joints that had not yet completely disappeared due to cigarette smoke. She could only sigh helplessly and said, "If you had come to my place for treatment when the disease was first discovered, I would definitely have suggested that you go to the thoracic surgery department next door for surgery first... After the surgery, enter the chemotherapy treatment stage, and then come to my place for further treatment."
Su Tang's eyes were cold: "You can say that I am treating lung cancer, but what I want to treat is not cancer!"
"I can only use traditional Chinese medicine to improve Mr. Wei's physical condition as much as possible during this period of time, using targeted methods to forcibly improve the resistance of the lungs and the body..."
"Whether the condition can be cured and whether Mr. Wei's body resistance can be improved to the level of fighting cancer cells depends on how sensitive Mr. Wei is to Chinese medicine."
Su Tang spoke slowly and calmly, but her words had a rhythm and cadence that calmed people's hearts, causing everyone in the room to focus their attention on her. Ye Shuang and Wei Feng looked at her without blinking.
Su Tang didn't want to hide the truth from the two people in front of her. She looked at them with a serious face and said, "I have seen Mr. Wei's first physical examination data. The test report showed that Mr. Wei was in the early or middle-early stage of lung cancer... For patients with early or middle-early lung cancer, even if they are treated according to the current national average level without special treatment, the probability of being cured is very high."
"Not to mention that you spent a lot of money to find a thoracic surgery expert, so the chances of recovery are even greater... But even so, Mr. Wei has come to this point now."
Su Tang sighed: "So this can only mean that Mr. Wei has very poor body resistance and is unable to resist the invasion of cancer cells... The body or the cancer cells are not very sensitive to chemotherapy and Western medicine."
Otherwise, it shouldn't be like this.
At least not in the short term.
To be honest, Wei Feng's current condition is even more exaggerated than those of some early-stage patients who have not discovered that they have lung cancer and are still smoking and drinking all day long!
Wei Feng is a broker after all. He is very good at grasping the key points of language. Almost immediately after Su Tang finished speaking...
Wei Feng frowned slightly and asked reflexively, "Doctor Su, what you mean is... the cancer cells in my body are not sensitive to Western medicine and chemotherapy, and the treatment effect is not good, which has caused the current situation of the cancer cells in my body expanding wildly?"
Wei Feng: "Doesn't that mean that Chinese medicine treatment might have a good effect on the cancer cells in my body?"
Su Tang smiled and nodded, "It's good that you think so, but this idea may not be accurate."
"There is another possibility that you have not considered. That is - maybe Chinese medicine is just like Western medicine in this regard and is also insensitive."
To give the simplest example, some people are allergic to drugs such as penicillin and cephalosporin and cannot use them. However, they are very sensitive to anti-inflammatory Chinese medicines such as honeysuckle, dandelion, and houttuynia cordata. In this case, it is most appropriate to treat the patient with traditional Chinese medicine.
But this is exactly where the problem lies. Before taking the medicine, Su Tang cannot guarantee it.
Wei Feng must be sensitive to Chinese medicine, and not the same situation as Western medicine!
Ye Shuang, Wei Feng: "..."
After hearing Su Tang's words, the couple held their breath, and their faces changed in different ways.
Especially Ye Shuang, who used to be so elegant and confident on the red carpet, now became nervous, and her beautiful black eyes kept looking at her husband.
Whether it is Ye Shuang or Wei Feng, in their cognition, Western medicine is usually more effective than Chinese medicine. Even Western medicine and chemotherapy cannot suppress cancer, so can Chinese medicine cure it?
But no matter what, it was clear that the two of them had no way out.
Not to mention the connections Xie Zhuokai helped find, it would take three months before Wei Feng could be arranged for hospitalization.
During this period of time, apart from going to the oncology department to seek chemotherapy, it seemed that there were no other doctors who could help.
Even these doctors would just shake their heads and sigh every time they looked at them.
Hospital headhunting companies have not been able to find any suitable doctors these days.
"Instead of that... I might as well give it a try."
Wei Feng touched Ye Shuang's soft hair, hugged his wife and said in a muffled voice: "Although Doctor Su said that he couldn't cure my cancer, he could only help me improve my body's resistance and see if my body could save itself... But I can't find another doctor anyway, so I might as well give it a try. At least at the concert, it was Doctor Su who first discovered that I had lung cancer."
Wei Feng sighed. He had also learned in recent days that early and middle-stage lung cancer is actually very difficult to detect. Many lung cancer patients find out that they have cancer in the late stage.
This is also an important reason why the mortality rate of lung cancer is extremely high!
But Dr. Su was backstage at the concert and discovered at a glance that he had cancer.
Even though many top thoracic oncologists, and even top oncologists from other departments, could tell from the patient's appearance and various physical signs that the patient had lung cancer, it still cannot be denied that Dr. Su had some skills.
"Doctor Su, please treat me according to your method..."
Wei Feng made up his mind, looked at Su Tang, nodded and said, "I believe my luck will not always be so bad. Among the three treatment methods, there should be one that is suitable for me."
Su Tang nodded: "In that case, I will arrange for you to be hospitalized."
Su Tang: "Starting today, in addition to chemotherapy, you will also need acupuncture and medication. I will also prepare some medicated food for you to improve the adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy, such as liver and kidney damage, gastrointestinal reactions, etc...."
Su Tang looked up and down at Wei Feng, who was now thin and had slightly yellow cheeks, and smiled and comforted him: "Looking at your condition, you probably haven't eaten well in the past month or so. If you are sick, you have to eat well and take in more nutrition..."
Su Tang: "Only when the body is full of Qi and blood and has strength can we enhance our resistance and fight against diseases!"
The vast majority of lung cancer patients need to stay in the hospital during treatment.
Only those patients with better physical conditions can receive radiation therapy alone as an outpatient without hospitalization.
However, Wei Feng's condition obviously does not fall within the scope of "good physical condition".
"Doctor Su...please prescribe hospital admission for us. We will stay in the hospital here..." Ye Shuang hugged Wei Feng.
The two of them had red eyes, like a pair of star-crossed ducks.
At this time, Ye Shuang, with no makeup on and dark circles under her eyes, did not look like a big star who was worried about paparazzi photographs and crazy fans watching her. Instead, she looked like an ordinary patient's family member who was down and out, hoping that the doctor could help cure her lover.
The two assistants at the side stopped Ye Shuang, looked at Su Tang and asked in a low voice: "Doctor, I wonder if your department has a private ward, preferably a private ward that can protect privacy."
"Well..." The assistant smiled and said, "After all, Shuangshuang is an artist. Although the management of the Sixth Hospital is relatively strict, we are still worried about accidents. We hope to take precautions in advance and let us stay in a ward alone."
If there were no private hospitals that could cure Wei Feng's illness, the assistants would have insisted on having Ye Shuang and Wei Feng admitted to a public hospital.
After all, public hospitals, especially the famous tertiary hospitals, are crowded with patients. Even if they come for outpatient treatment, they have to be very careful and wait until the outpatient clinic is about to go off work before they dare to show up.
"No problem. Our department happens to have a vacant VIP ward. It's where the father of Chairman Xie of your company used to live. I think it shouldn't be a big problem for you to live there."
Su Tang nodded in understanding, since the other party was an artist after all.
Although the person hospitalized here is just an agent, as Wei Feng's partner, Ye Shuang will probably have to stay in the inpatient department for a long time during this treatment period.
"Don't worry, there aren't too many people in our department... Everyone is very friendly."
Su Tang smiled and said, "When Miss Ye wants to go out for a walk, she can take her assistant for a walk around the hospital at night... This way, she won't cause a commotion among other people."
Unlike radiation therapy, which requires specialized equipment, chemotherapy is a drug-based treatment that is taken orally or by injection to solve the problem.
The former is more suitable for treating a tumor in a single location, while the latter is more suitable for systemic treatment of spread of cancer.
Wei Feng is now the latter. After living in the ward, he doesn't need to go to the radiology department often...
Su Tang touched his chin, blinked, and decided to say one more thing to Ye Shuang and Wei Feng: "After you get your hospitalization certificate, go to the general internal medicine ward. I will give you simple acupuncture treatment first, and then prescribe a tonic soup for Mr. Wei to strengthen the body, replenish qi and yin, and resolve phlegm and clear heat. Tomorrow I will call the oncologist to come for a consultation..."
"Hmm~" Su Tang showed a simple smile on her fair and tender face. "When the time comes, I will give the chemotherapy prescription written by Dr. Kent to the other party, and let him prescribe chemotherapy drugs for you according to the original dosage... to achieve the effect of combining Chinese and Western medicine for treatment."
Wei Feng: “…………”
Ye Shuang: “…………”
Two assistants: “……???”
What is the treatment plan that Dr. Su is talking about?
How can she, a doctor, prescribe chemotherapy and why does she need to go to the oncology department?
"Doctor Su...why do we need to call an oncologist to diagnose this chemotherapy?" Wei Feng opened his mouth and tried to force an awkward yet polite smile towards Su Tang.
Su Tang nodded seriously, her eyes were round and bright, and she said as a matter of course: "Yes! I told you, I am not treating cancer, I am treating your body's immunity and resistance! The prescription I prescribe for you is not a prescription to eliminate tumors, but a prescription to inhibit cancer cells, increase other activities of body cells, and enhance immunity, resistance and physical quality!"
Su Tang said righteously: "My main focus is to improve your resistance and immunity! But this cancer still needs to be treated! Of course I have to find someone in the oncology department."
Wei Feng, Ye Shuang choked: "......"
Especially Wei Feng, who used to be a smooth talker on social media and in front of various business partners. But now he was speechless and didn't know how to speak.
Wei Feng: There are so many flaws in this statement that I don’t know how to start.
Su Tang looked left and right and saw that the other four people in the office had strange and distorted expressions and looked confused.
Su Tang could only be disappointed, scratching her cheeks, and said awkwardly: "Uh... Actually, if you want to stay in the oncology department, it's fine, but I may not have that much time to report to the oncology department on time every day to give you acupuncture."
"We have too few doctors in our department. We are a bit short of staff."
Su Tang was embarrassed: "I have to spend a lot of time every week going to the operating room of the surgical building to perform acupuncture and hemostasis on patients undergoing major surgeries. It's really busy..."
Su Tang sighed. With the expansion of business during this period, the other doctors in the general internal medicine department were only slightly busier than they were during the working hours, but perhaps not as busy as the gastroenterologists next door. But for her, she had to treat Wei Yan during off-duty hours, and had to go to the office after the outpatient clinic during working hours. Occasionally, she would encounter patients with heavy bleeding after surgery, and she would be called by several departments of the surgery department at any time.
It's like a small Didi that can be called at any time.
"If you want to go to the Oncology Department, I will call the Oncology Department now and take you to their inpatient department..." Although Su Tang really wanted to keep Wei Feng and Ye Shuang, if the patient wanted to go to another department, she would try her best to cooperate.
When being treated in the hospital, patients often have more than one condition.
For example, a man in his 20s not only has heart disease and severe gout, but is also hospitalized for liver cancer.
At this time, if the heart disease has not broken out, the patient will first be admitted to the hepatobiliary surgery department for liver cancer treatment, and then find time to find a doctor from the rheumatology and immunology department or the endocrinology department to come to the hepatobiliary surgery department for a consultation.
However, if the patient suffers a heart attack during this period, liver cancer needs to be treated urgently.
So there is no problem whether the patient is hospitalized in the cardiac surgery department, cardiology department, or hepatobiliary surgery department. The hospital will also send doctors from other departments to treat the patient.
Therefore, as long as both departments can live in him, Wei Feng will have no problem no matter which department he goes to live in.
Even according to Wei Feng's current condition, based on the principle of priority treatment, perhaps the oncology department should be considered first.
Su Tang's words were so earnest that Ye Shuang and Wei Feng felt a little embarrassed.
The couple looked at each other. Ye Shuang carefully looked at Su Tang's face, then looked at her husband, and then slowly said, "Doctor Su, no need... Let's stay in the general internal medicine department."
The couple came to the Sixth Hospital just to see Dr. Su, so what was the matter with them living in the oncology department?
No matter how good the oncologists at the Sixth Hospital are, they are certainly not as good as Dr. Kent, who is on the list of famous doctors in the world.
After making up their minds, the couple felt relieved. They hugged each other and asked the assistant to help them pay the hospital bill. The couple followed Su Tang to the general internal medicine inpatient department.
The two of them were dressed very simply and low-key, and as they had been delayed in the outpatient clinic for some time, it was no longer the busiest time when they arrived at the inpatient department.
However, despite this, there were many people along the way who repeatedly cast their eyes towards Ye Shuang and Wei Feng.
However, with the two assistants consciously blocking the way with their backpacks, and Su Tang walking in front in a white coat, no one stepped forward to stop Ye Shuang and Wei Feng.
Only when Wei Feng was admitted to the VIP ward did Ye Shuang take off her glasses and heaved a sigh of relief.
Only Du Jiajia and a few others who were working at the nursing station today were stunned when they saw Ye Shuang. They were happy but worried about the goddess's condition until the computer background showed that it was Wei Feng who was hospitalized.
While Du Jiajia and others were happy, they also understood the root cause of the artist-agent marriage incident that had caused a stir in the city a few days ago.
Du Jiajia looked at the backs of Wei Feng and Ye Shuang as they left for the ward and sighed softly, "Seeing my goddess, I believe in love again..."
Du Jiajia, who is bombarded with various domestic violence and Pua news on her mobile web platform every day, suddenly feels that having such a deep love is also wonderful.
"Okay~ Don't believe in love here. You are not good to love like this, love is very stressful." Luo Yanan smiled: "The most important thing is to see whether the other half is reliable. A man who is responsible, responsible, and willing to give in for you can make you believe in love."
"Let's pack up quickly and prepare for the night shift handover."
Luo Yanan sighed, "I just hope that the old man in bed 21 won't tell any ghost stories at night during the night shift. The dark ward has green dim lights on, and I was almost scared to death a few days ago."
Du Jiajia regained her composure and nodded with a lingering fear. Her two beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows were about to curl into a ball of caterpillars. "I don't know what's wrong with bed 21. It's okay for them to like listening to ghost stories at night, but they also have to put a picture of Tathagata Buddha on the wall... This is the first time I've seen such a thing in my life."
Another nurse who had just finished get off work but had not yet left leaned over and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous~"
"Doctor Su is on the night shift today. She is going to give a massage to the patient. The old man in bed 21 will definitely not give up a good opportunity to give a massage just for a ghost story~"
"By the time Dr. Su finishes the massage, it will be around 10 o'clock in the evening. It will be time for the eldest brother to go to bed, hehehe~"
"I didn't expect that Xiaoqin is still so smart~!" Luo Yanan immediately felt relieved and happy.
Like those patients and their families, she also likes to do massage!
