Chapter 140: Euthanasia
The Affiliated Hospital of Binhai University is the most well-known and comprehensive hospital in Binhai City, and it is also the largest number of critically ill patients who are transferred from all over the world, as well as those who come to seek treatment.
Lin Jie pretended to be a family member visiting the patient, infiltrated the inpatient building of this hospital, and touched the intensive inpatient department.
He is looking for terminal patients with liver cancer and uterine cancer!
In such patients, the cancer cells have spread to the whole body, there is no hope of treatment, and it is just a waste of resources to wait for death, Lin Jie only needs to draw a few milliliters of blood from them.
Lin Jie changed into a white coat in the bathroom, held a stethoscope in his hand, pretended to be an intern, and scurried around the ward, looking for someone to start.
The management of the affiliated hospital is quite standardized, and the bedside card is filled in very carefully, in addition to the basic patient information, there is also a simple diagnosis of the condition, which saves Lin Jie a lot of effort.
He wandered through more than a dozen wards and found four uterine cancer patients!
After his initial inquiry and his own diagnosis, in a three-person general ward, a 31-year-old woman named Pan Meichen was identified as a terminal patient with terminal uterine cancer.
Wearing a hospital gown, she lay on the hospital bed without any life, her hair had fallen out under the effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and there was no family around her.
She is very emaciated, her face is pale and haggard, but judging from the shape of her face, she must be a beauty when she is healthy!
Regarding Lin Jie's request to draw a little blood for the test, Pan Meichen did not refuse, she was very cooperative, and weakly stretched out her skinny arm full of needles.
Lin Jie took out the empty needle that had been prepared a long time ago, and skillfully drew about ten milliliters of venous blood.
"I really can't see that you are so young, but your skills are not ordinary skilled!"
Pan Meichen squeezed out a little smile on her face and said, "Now the little nurse is afraid of giving me needles, and the head nurse does it himself, and it takes three or four times to get it every time, you are very powerful." β
"Luck! Pure luck! Thank you for your cooperation!" Lin Jie said perfunctorily, he wanted to leave here, there was still a liver cancer patient to look for.
Pan Meichen suddenly spoke: "You...... Can you talk to me?"
Looking at her gloomy eyes and extremely pale face, Lin Jie somehow, his heart was soft, he sat down in the corner of the hospital bed, and said softly: "My work is relatively leisurely, I can chat with you for an hour!"
Pan Meichen's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and she said gratefully: "Thank you! I just want to tell you my story, I feel that you are very amiable, I am afraid that if I don't say it again, I guess I won't have a chance to say it." β
"Well, you say, I'll listen!" Lin Jie replied softly.
Pan Meichen looked at the ceiling with empty eyes, and said while recalling: "My story is very clichΓ©, very clichΓ©! My hometown is a small county in western Sichuan Province, and I have a father and mother, as well as a sister and younger brother. β
"After graduating from vocational school, I went back to the county to work!"
"Unexpectedly, my brother suddenly got seriously ill and urgently needed a large amount of money, and there was no way, so I promised a boss to be his lover and got the money. β
She spoke softly, without a hint of emotion, as if she were telling someone else's story.
"My brother's condition finally got better, and the matter between me and the boss was exposed, and I was beaten up by his wife. I was kicked out of the house by my father and mother, saying that there was no longer me as a daughter. β
"When I came to the seashore, there were some broken jars, and the work I was engaged in, I think you must understand. A few years ago, during the Spring Festival, I went home once, and they accepted money and gifts, but they didn't even let me in!"
"At that time, I really understood that I really had no home and no relatives. β
Pan Meichen turned her eyes to Lin Jie and said indifferently: "Back in Binhai, I indulge myself even more." β
"Two years ago, I was diagnosed with uterine cancer! The moment I heard the diagnosis, I didn't feel scared, but I felt a sense of relief and relief. I said in my heart, this moment has finally come. β
"Don't you feel weird about this feeling?"
Lin Jie shook his head lightly and said, "I don't think it's strange, it's not uncommon for people like you to have self-destruction and misanthropic complexes. To exaggerate, each of us has a certain tendency to self-destruct, but the vast majority of us are rationally controlled. β
"Also, you're a doctor, what kind of strange patient hasn't seen it!"
Pan Meichen smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "After being diagnosed, I took out all my savings and traveled around, and the money was spent. I came here, volunteered to be a test subject, donated my body, and now I'm going to die. β
"That's my story, it's boring, isn't it?"
Lin Jie shook his head slightly, and said: "No matter how you live, it's a person's life, as long as you don't feel bored, you probably won't care about other people's eyes and evaluations!"
"I care, I care about it......"
A little tear flowed from Pan Meichen's eyes, and he choked up and said, "If I don't care, how can I give up on myself in a bad mood? β
Lin Jie was indifferent for a while, stood up, waited for her mood to calm down, pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you have any wishes?"
Pan Meichen shook his head and said, "My unfulfilled wish has been fulfilled before I walked into the hospital. I wrote a suicide note, and when I died, the hospital would send someone to my home. β
"The hospital has done the experiments on me, and I want to leave this world as soon as possible. β
"You don't know how uncomfortable and painful it is to be so tormented every day that the anesthetic is becoming more and more useless. But none of the doctors and nurses were willing to help me. β
"I don't know ...... you"
Pan Meichen's words were only half a sentence, but Lin Jie knew what she wanted to say, just euthanasia, which was still not allowed in China.
Seeing Pan Meichen being placed in this ordinary three-person ward, Lin Jie knew that she was not lying.
If the medical test on her body has not been completed, at least a single room will be arranged for her to avoid the interference of the test data by external factors.
Lin Jie knows what kind of pain a terminal cancer patient endures.
He took off the stethoscope, pretended to check Pan Meichen, pressed his fingers on the position of her cervical artery sinus, leaned over and whispered: "A person is lying on his side, if this position, against hard objects such as phalanges, it may cause cardiac arrest in just a few minutes!"
Pan Meichen understood Lin Jie's words, nodded slowly, and said softly: "Thank you! Thank you......
Walking out of the hospital bed, Lin Jie didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this, and his mood was inexplicably heavy.
The search for a patient with advanced liver cancer really took Lin Jie some effort, ran several floors, and finally found the patient he was looking for in a single ward.
Fortunately, the patient was intubated all over his body, still in a coma, and there was no one around to accompany him, so Lin Jie drew some blood cleanly and walked out of the ward.
It seems that Lin Jie's good luck has been used up!
When he was done, he bumped into a group of doctors as soon as he left the ward, led by an acquaintance.
Lin Jie hurriedly turned around and walked away briskly in the other direction, silently saying in his heart: "Didn't see me!
But contrary to expectations, a deep voice immediately sounded: "You, the brisk-walking boy, stop me!"
"If you go again, I recognize you, don't let me call the security guard!"
In this case, Lin Jie had to stop and turn around, smiled, and said, "Professor Chen, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Professor Chen Shi waved his hand to stop the people behind him, slowly came to Lin Jie's side, and said in a deep voice: "It's indeed a coincidence, it's the first time I've seen you wearing a white coat and a stethoscope!"
