Chapter 4 The Old Revolution

Li Zhenqiao, 84 years old, has advanced diabetic nephropathy and renal failure, and is on hemodialysis all year round. The windows in the ward were closed, and there were a few potted plants on the windowsill. The old man has gray hair, lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, and there is an old-fashioned tape recorder on the bedtable on the side, which plays excerpts from "Called Xiaofan" in the Peking Opera "Shilang Visits the Mother", the old man's fingers are gently beating, if it is not for the hemodialysis machine on the side is still slowly rotating, the old man is no different from the retired old man who enjoys the afternoon rest and leisure time in ordinary people's homes.

Hearing the sound, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't want to be disturbed while he was listening to the play.

Yi Sheng came to the old man's bed lightly, did not make a sound, and waited quietly aside.

With the end of Yu Kuizhi's high-pitched and loud "call Xiaofan" in the tape recorder, the sound of "rustling" came from the tape recorder, the button was gently flicked up, and at the end of the song, Yi Sheng said softly to the old man Li Zhenqiao: "Old man, I am a new intern doctor in our nephrology department, my name is Yi Sheng." I came this time because there were some things that Teacher Feng Juan didn't ask when she asked about her medical history last time, and I came this time to make additions. ”

Li Zhenqiao opened his eyes, and Yi Sheng felt as if two bright stars were lit up in the middle of the night, shining brightly. It's hard to imagine an eighty-four-year-old man who has been in this ward for a whole month with such vigor.

"I know that your teacher asked you to train you, you ask, just as my old man made the last contribution to the country. Li Zhenqiao's eyes were full of smiles, picked up the pillow on the side and put it behind him, leaning on the head of the bed.

Yi Sheng nodded and said, "How long ago did you first come to the hospital?

"About 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes 20 years ago and started taking insulin, and then my blood sugar was always high and my face felt a little swollen every morning, so I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with advanced diabetic nephropathy. Li Zhenqiao replied.

"Are there any other symptoms besides a little swollen face and uncontrollable blood sugar?" Yi Sheng asked.

"High blood pressure. Li Zhenqiao said.

Yi Sheng nodded and said, "What examinations were done at that time, and what treatment advice did the doctor give?"

Li Zhenqiao thought for a while and said: "There are too many tests, it seems that there is a urine routine, a blood routine and many other kinds of I have forgotten." At that time, they suggested that I be hospitalized, but I couldn't be idle, so I didn't listen to them, and I was a bad old man who was about to go to the ground, so why waste such good resources, so I asked them to prescribe some medicine to live a day. ”

"Do you remember what medicine was prescribed?" Yi Sheng asked.

"Forgotten. Li Zhenqiao scratched his head and said.

"Then why are you hospitalized this time?" Yi Sheng said.

"I came here this time because it was so swollen that I came to ask, and I was told that I wanted hemodialysis, and I stayed for a month. Li Zhenqiao said.

"Did you have any diseases before you got kidney disease?" Yi Sheng said.

"No, it's diabetes. Li Zhenqiao said.

"Then do you have a history of trauma or blood transfusion before?" Yi Sheng asked.

"Yes," Li Zhenqiao paused, "When I led a company battalion to fight monkeys in 79, I was shot twice in the leg, and it was no big deal, but then I was wounded once by a grenade from the US army, leaving a few bullet marks in my back, and there should have been a blood transfusion, but I passed out at that time, I don't remember." ”

Yi Sheng stopped his pen and looked up at Li Zhenqiao and said, "You also participated in the counterattack?"

"That's!" Li Zhenqiao said proudly.

After opening the chatterbox, Li Zhenqiao said slowly, and Yi Sheng sat at the foot of the old man's bed, listening quietly.

In December 1978, the 124th Division of the 42nd Army of the Guangdong Military Region, where Li Zhenqiao was located, received an order to go to the front line in Guangxi, and Li Zhenqiao served as the commander of the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment and led the reorganized troops to arrive at the front line in early 1979.

"On the night of February '79, I still remember that in the dark of the early morning, three signals suddenly lit up, and everyone in our 42nd division stepped out of the country at the same time. Li Zhenqiao said softly.

There is no magnificent scene like a movie or a TV series, and the whole army is like a rushing river pouring into the ravines and ravines, and the battalion unit is transformed into countless trickles into the tropical forest.

Covered by dense forests, each team groped their way forward several miles apart, and from time to time they would encounter harassment by small groups of enemy troops, and the old man Li Zhenqiao told Yi Sheng that we were our ancestors in guerrilla warfare, but in the dense forest, there was no road, and the soldiers could only use the road knives in their hands to advance slowly. The feet are muddy, the weather is hot, and there are mosquitoes everywhere. Moreover, they were not familiar with the environment, and from time to time someone suddenly fell into the swamp and could not extricate themselves, and the enemy took advantage of this, and when they came out of the dense forest, there were less than 240 people left in the 4th battalion of 317 people where Li Zhenqiao was located.

Then the old man talked endlessly for more than two hours from the attack on Ba Kui to the occupation of the Gaoping government building, and Yi Sheng's expression kept changing with the old man's story.

"Later, after I was wounded, I returned to the capital and was arranged to the rear, although the official has become bigger and bigger over the years, but this heart has become more and more uneasy. ”

The old man's expression gradually darkened and said: "Once you will succeed, my position was bought by countless old brothers with their lives, and this position does not belong to me, nor should it belong to me." ”

But my old brethren never asked for anything in return, and every time I asked them what was going on, they didn't say anything until I received a letter this year. The old man took out an envelope wrapped in a handkerchief from the cabinet next to him, which read, "The old chief Li Zhenqiao personally opened."

"This old boy's name is Wang Shengli, we all call him Wang Erzi, he is very accurate in marksmanship, and he was the platoon commander of my guard platoon. Li Zhenqiao fumbled with the envelope with both hands and sighed: "In the autumn of this year, I received this letter at home, saying that he was guilty of the root of the disease that fell in the war, and the family sold the house in order to treat him, he knew that he would not live long, and hoped that he could ask me to help the family after his death. ”

"Now that the national policy is so good, old veterans like Wang Shengli don't need to spend too much money at all, and our government will not treat the heroes who were born and died for the country. Yi Sheng sat up straight and said softly.

"What do you know about a little doll?" the old man said with some excitement: "At the beginning, we were soldiers because there were too many children in the family to be soldiers, at that time life in the army was difficult but we could eat enough, at that time we all felt indebted to the country, so on the battlefield extra desperate is to repay the country's grace, after leaving the army, the country also gave priority to work, and also allocated us a house to live, there will be subsidies every year, is this what we deserve?" We owe too much to the state, and we have to owe the country more when we grow old? What are we going to pay back?"

Yi Sheng was silent.

Veterans don't die, they just wither. Such an old man, Yi Sheng didn't know what words to use to describe it, he stood up silently, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you!"

This bow respects the revolutionary friendship between the old people and comrades-in-arms, the spirit of self-sacrifice of the elderly, and the old generation to protect the country with their bodies, so that the people can have a comfortable life!

Closing the door, Yi Sheng leaned against the wall and gasped, as an intern who was about to become a medical worker, it was not a good thing to be emotionally infected by patients, and it was only to blame Yi Sheng for being too young and having too little experience.

Now a lot of people are complaining about the insensitivity of the doctors in the hospitals, are they really insensitive? Not really. People have feelings, and the doctors in the hospital also have joys and sorrows, crying and laughing. They will be nauseous when they first come into contact with anatomy, they will also go to the cafeteria after a day of seeing the general teacher, and they will also feel frustrated because of a failed rescue of a patient, but after staying in the hospital for a long time, it is not strange to see too many lives and deaths.

Back in the department, Feng Juan saw Yi Sheng's face and smiled: "It's not suitable, right?"

Yi Sheng shook his head, sat next to Feng Juan and reported Li Zhenqiao's case, Feng Juan nodded and said: "It's not bad, you have a good grasp of the details of the medical history, it's not too early, you go back and rest first, the director will operate tomorrow, there is a patient in the department The patient has a hematoma in the brachial artery of the left arm, and the patient's arm is not easy to fix, you will go to the operating room tomorrow to help." ”

Another female doctor on the side, Sowers, smiled: "Finally, there is a man in the nephrology department, you have to make good use of it." ”

"Okay, I'll be back in a moment. Yi Sheng returned to his position, entered the system and retrieved Li Zhenqiao's medical records, printed a copy, and then took off his white coat and left the attached hospital.

When he arrived in the dormitory, Hao Zhe had not come back yet, he was probably still studying hard in the library, lying on the bed to empty himself, Yi Sheng closed his eyes Yi Sheng's mind appeared Li Zhenqiao's lonely look, this is a respectable old man, but it is a pity that everyone is equal in the face of illness.

After a few minutes, Yi Sheng suddenly sat up and called up the little medicine immortal system, "Little gourd, don't sleep, I'll ask you something." ”

In the screen in Yi Sheng's mind, the little gourd was lying in the corner and falling asleep, and the burden of memory rubbing on the little gourd was also very heavy, no wonder the little gourd didn't make a sound after the rubbing, and when he heard Yi Sheng's call, the little gourd rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "Hey, is it dawn?"

Yi Sheng put the medical record in front of his eyes and asked, "Do you have any way to cure this person?"

"No, you can't. Xiao Hulu said very dryly.

"Aren't you a little doctor immortal system? Memory rubbing, something that only exists in science fiction movies, you can cure a disease, you can't do it?" Yi Sheng asked.

"I can't cure it, but you can. Little Gourd yawned and said, "When you unlock all the knowledge points about diabetic nephropathy, you will have a way to treat it yourself." ”

"Me?" Yi Sheng was stunned.

"It's just a kidney failure, not one of those incurable terminal diseases, if this person is lucky, he can survive until the day you unlock the knowledge points, he can be cured. ”

"Then why can't you cure it, aren't all these things yours?" Yi Sheng wondered.

"If I can cure the disease, why should I use you, stay in your head all day and have fun?"

"Fundamentally, I'm just a picker and guardian looking for a host for the Little Doctor Immortal System, and if I forcibly use the system to treat patients, the data commands at the bottom of the system will wipe me out, so I won't make a move, and I don't dare to make a move. Little Hulu explained.
