PFC Chapter 373 Terminal Illness
Chapter 373 Terminal Illness
The two of them walked to the door of a children's ward, where a middle-aged woman wearing washed-out clothes and with gray hair was squatting in the corner, silently shedding tears.
"Lingling's mother..." Doctor Zhou called out.
The woman looked up, saw Dr. Zhou, wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and stood up.
"Doctor Zhou, we will collect the medical expenses as soon as possible, please be more flexible..." Lingling's mother's eyes were filled with fear and pleading.
"Lingling's mother, I'm here to see Lingling." Doctor Zhou didn't say anything to comfort her, because no matter how much he said, it would be of no use.
Lingling's mother put away the sad expression on her face and then opened the door.
In the ward, a bald girl of seven or eight years old was sitting and writing with a pen.
Seeing someone coming in, she raised her head, smiled brightly and called out sweetly, "Uncle Zhou."
"Lingling, what are you doing?" Dr. Zhou walked to the little girl's bed with a kind smile.
"I'm doing the homework assigned by the teacher." Lingling frowned and said in distress: "I'm just so stupid. There are many things I don't know."
"What don't you know?" Sui Yi rushed over immediately, pushed Doctor Zhou aside, and sat down beside Lingling's bed: "I'll teach you."
"I'm telling you, little sister, my level is more than enough to teach university professors, let alone you."
"Really?" Lingling asked with admiration in her eyes.
"Of course." Sui Yi raised his head proudly: "If you don't believe me, ask your Uncle Zhou."
Doctor Zhou nodded with difficulty under the little girl's expectant gaze.
Why do I feel a little guilty?
Suiyi played with the little girl in the ward for a while, and then Lingling's mother sent them out.
Until Suiyi left, she didn't know who Suiyi was or what he was doing there.
"Why do you look so dejected?" Looking at Dr. Zhou who looked listless, Sui Yi was confused.
"Nothing." Doctor Zhou forced a smile.
Sui Yi no longer paid attention to him, but frowned and said, "That little girl has a congenital neural tube defect that caused the loss of leg function. It's quite serious. If it continues to develop, her life will be in danger."
Doctor Zhou's eyes widened.
"What does that ghost look on your face mean?" Sui Yi looked at Dr. Zhou with dissatisfaction.
"You...how do you know?!" He just saw this woman playing with Lingling the whole time, and he thought this guy didn't want to help.
"Please, it's just a diagnosis, what's the big deal?" She believed that her medical skills were invincible, and with the help of the mysterious arts, if she couldn't even diagnose a disease, there was no point in her career.
"Can it be cured?" Dr. Zhou, who had recovered from his surprise, asked carefully and expectantly.
"It can be cured." Sui Yi frowned again, "It's just that one herbal ingredient is missing."
"What medicinal herbs?" Dr. Zhou asked hurriedly.
"Bamboo ginseng that is over 500 years old." Bamboo ginseng is hard to find. Those that are over 500 years old are as rare as wild ginseng that is over several hundred years old.
This is more difficult to do.
Dr. Zhou’s frown could kill a fly.
"Is there no other way?" Obviously, Dr. Zhou also knew how difficult it was to find Bamboo Qiang Grass.
"Brother, she has a terminal illness!" Sui said, "I'm lucky I can find a way."
When she doesn't want to use simple and cheap herbs?
She is not a god, and sometimes she is powerless when facing life and death.
"You're a doctor, so you should have some connections, right?" Suiyi encouraged him, "Although bamboo chiggers are hard to find, they are not impossible to find. I believe you can find them."
"Thank you for your trust." Dr. Zhou became even more worried.
Not to mention that this thing is hard to find, even if you find it, the price is... so beautiful that most people cannot afford it.
In the past, he was mentally prepared that the little girl was beyond saving.
But now that he knew there was hope, he was unwilling to give up.
Besides, he also wanted to see how this death sentence could be revived. If he could really save the little girl, it would be a major breakthrough in medicine.
Dr. Zhou is very worried now.
"I'll write you a prescription now." Sui Yi's words brought Dr. Zhou back to his thoughts: "Find someone to boil it for the little girl, it can relieve her pain."
That's all she can do now.
"Oh right..." Sui Yi said again, "Your hospital is just trying to make her suffer less, but it can't cure her at all. Don't waste their money and arrange for her to be discharged."
Poor thing, the little girl's hospitalization is like throwing money into the water.
"Your hospital is so heartless. You dragged the patient along even though you knew the outcome would be, just to drain his family's assets. Look at the harm you have done to him. You have no conscience?" The old man said dissatisfiedly.
Doctor Zhou... Although they really couldn't save the patient, they felt guilty.
He sighed, knowing very well that the hospital could not save Lingling at all, and that keeping her there would only make their family's financial situation worse.
It’s just that Lingling’s parents couldn’t bear to give up their child.
Before leaving, Suiyi took a detour and went to the payment office to settle Lingling's medical expenses.
Dr. Zhou was really impressed by her.
Seeing how hard she was trying to extort money from the Yi family, he thought she was just after profit, but who knew she was so broad-minded.
Suddenly I feel like this guy is robbing the rich to help the poor. What's going on?
With Dr. Zhou’s respectful farewell, Sui Yi, who had done good deeds, left the hospital with a high opinion of himself.
As soon as she got in the car, her face fell.
I went to the hospital and ended up spending some money again. What a loss!
Let her think about who to get back at...
When he returned home, he saw several strangers in the house.
Judging from his clothes, he looks like a servant or something.
They walked around the house as if no one was around, and even yelled at Aunt Wu and the other girl.
"Aunt Wu..." Suiyi called Aunt Wu: "What's going on?"
Aunt Wu looked embarrassed: "This is someone sent by the Madam, saying that..."
"What is she doing again?" Speaking of He Bichun, it must be bad news.
"Your sister is moving in with you."
Aunt Wu had already noticed from the last time that Suiyi had a bad relationship with her sister. Now that the Madam asked her to move in, wasn't this intentional to make Suiyi unhappy?
"Wait!" Seeing a servant bringing a doll down from upstairs, Sui Yi walked over with a bad look on his face: "You came into my room?"
These people were transferred from the old house of Chong family. It was not known whether they knew that this young lady was not popular with their wives, or whether they had received some instructions, but they all looked down on Sui Yi and had no respect for him.
"Excuse me, Miss Xin, we were all sent by Madam." The servant said condescendingly, "Madam asked us to clean up your room for Miss Xin to live in. We are just following your orders. Please don't make things difficult for us."
As soon as the words fell, a scream made everyone in the room stop.
