Chapter 22 Worry Can't afford expensive medicine
At this time, the wind continued to blow, and the wind on the plains was fierce, and the wind blew the trees beside the road, and painted a layer of golden yellow, crimson, pale pink, and mottled dark green. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe autumn wind continued to blow, staining the flowers and trees in the inpatient department yellow, bringing coolness to the ward.
"The cost of surgery for transfer to the hospital is higher," the doctor said based on his own clinical experience over the years, "The risk of connecting the nerve to the brain is quite large, and the nerve is broken and reconnected, which is generally used for limb nerve amputation and connection."
Because nerve surgery in the brain is easy to damage brain tissue, and the risk is large, surgery is generally not used to connect the nerve, and only conservative treatment is taken. ”
"What is conservative treatment?" The old mother didn't understand what conservative treatment meant.
The doctor is not easy to explain, that is, comforting; "According to your family situation and the patient's condition, it is recommended not to transfer to the hospital for surgical treatment, and to take a series of measures such as conservative treatment and comprehensive treatment.
"Hey," the old mother seemed to understand, "that is, my daughter can't die and is recuperating in the hospital." Is it possible to recuperate without taking medicine or injections? Can light nourishment be good? ”
"The medicine still has to be given!" Based on the experience of previous treatment, doctors "can give rehabilitation treatment to control various serious complications and awakening drugs, and to properly manage early head injuries, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and various awakening exercises." ”
"It's just to breathe some oxygen, recuperate in the hospital, and let my daughter be better."
Yes, through the drug and the excretory function of the body, the patient is slowly allowed to recover gradually. It's going to take a long time. ”
"How long, how long? One year, two years, three years. Ten years, twenty years...... Can it be good? ”
"As for the prognosis...... the doctor shook his head, "no one can guarantee what the prognosis will be." All in all, no matter whether it is transferred to the hospital or conservative treatment, there is no absolute certainty of a cure. ”
"It's not curable!"
"That's what happened," said the doctor, without replying, "the former is expensive, the latter is low." You are the mother of a patient, do you choose to transfer to the hospital for surgery and craniotomy, or recuperate in the hospital for conservative treatment? ”
When the old mother heard that the cost of transferring to the hospital was high, in order to save money, she immediately made a decision, "Since the transfer cannot guarantee a complete cure and achieve the effect of being completely conscious, it is better to treat conservatively, as long as the cost is low and the cost is low, why take that risk by transferring to the hospital." ”
"That is," the doctor finally told the truth, "no matter what treatment is taken, it is impossible for the patient to return to normal and reach full consciousness, and the prognosis for the vast majority of patients is not good, and the mortality rate is quite high." ”
"What!" When the old mother heard that the mortality rate was quite high, she was shocked again, "I still have to die after half a day of treatment!" ”
Seeing that the old mother was worried, how could he put pressure on his relatives, in case he was thrown into the hospital and didn't ask, no one checked out and no one paid for the medicine, how to deal with it, and quickly eased his words, "However, it is also undeniable that a miracle occurs, and a very small number of patients may wake up suddenly." ”
"Very few miracles, how can it be the turn of the daughter, alas!" The old mother sighed, she would not leave her daughter in the hospital and leave it alone, her son is the mother's heart. However, from an economic point of view, the conditions at home are too poor.
Let's talk, the old mother is pitiful enough, she has been frugal all her life, where did she get the money. What's more, the story happened 30 years ago, when Zhugen County was an agriculture-based county, although the peasants lived a richer life than in the 70s, it only solved the problem of food, clothing, food and clothing, and the economy was still not rich enough. Where does the money come from? A farmer who makes a living from farming can only rely on raising a few sheep and feeding a few chickens, how much savings can he have?
However, during the treatment in the hospital, the list of drug expenses prescribed every day was not hundreds of dollars a day. From time to time, nurses urged them to pay their medical bills.
At this time, she was worried about the expensive medical bills, where did she get the money to transfer to the hospital. If you have money, transfer it to the big hospital in Zhongzhou City, where the conditions are good, there are nurses to serve, throw it into the hospital, and spend as much as she wants. However, his family conditions are poor and he has no money to be hospitalized, so the mother and daughter do not have too much savings.
What to do? At the critical moment, I suddenly remembered that the nurse had just sent the reminder payment list.
I had to say goodbye to the doctor, "I have to go home to collect money to pay for medical bills, and I have to cook and feed my daughter." ”
"Well," the doctor nodded, sympathizing with the old man, it is not easy for orphans and widows, "the patient has made you miserable. ”
"What's the solution!" She immediately said goodbye to the doctor, walked out of the hospital, and looked up at the sky, which was about to get dark, the sunset was about to set, and the fiery clouds were like epiphany.
The beautiful sunset is about to leave quietly, she is sad, if the sunset can be the same as herself, quietly go back, thinking about tomorrow's sunrise, she will not feel desolate. On the contrary, you will find it beautiful, and the feeling of praising the sunset will arise spontaneously.
She didn't think about the upset things and kept going.
When I came to the western suburbs and was about to reach the intersection of the village, I was suddenly awakened by a cough.
The old mother looked up and saw that it was a distant nephew who was working in the field, and he was waiting for the bus at the intersection, so he stopped and said hello: "The eldest nephew is waiting for the bus here?" ”
"Yes! Auntie! Where have you been? ”
"You may have heard about the family, my sister was beaten to death."
"I know," said the eldest nephew, as he walked forward, "I heard that the case has been solved, the murderer has been caught, and my sister's funeral has been dealt with, so you should come out of the pain."
"Get out of what!" The old mother did not hide from her nephew, she knew that her nephew would leave immediately by car, and she would not be rumored everywhere, "Let me tell you the truth, my aunt came back from the hospital, your sister came back from the dead, and I want to go home to cook and send it away." ”
"What!" When the eldest nephew heard this, he was taken aback, and said, "Congratulations to the eldest mother, congratulations to the eldest aunt, my sister has died and come back to life." ”
"Congratulations! It's better to die, and now I'm in a comatose vegetative state. ”
The eldest nephew of the "vegetative ......" knew the consequences of being in a vegetative state, that is, comforted and said: "Auntie, you really have to work hard, the old man has bad eyes, and he has to go home for three meals a day to cook, and then walk to the hospital, one trip is four or five miles, and it takes more than two hours to go back and forth, why don't you buy some food in the hospital?" ”
"Where does the family get the money from the poor, just the treatment fee and medicine cost hundreds of yuan every day, to be honest, Aunt Kai is reluctant to buy even a bowl of porridge."
The eldest nephew heard that his sister needed medicine to become a vegetative person, and the entourage took out two hundred yuan from his purse, "Auntie, this is a little bit of the nephew's heart, and it can't help much." ”
"Don't! No! The eldest nephew only has a few dozen yuan a month, and he has to support his family, and it is not easy to earn two hundred yuan. ”
"Let's go on," the eldest nephew shoved into the old mother's hand, and helped her come up with an idea, "Since my sister was injured, there should be a beating party to bear the medical expenses,"
"The one who hits someone." The old mother suddenly became open-minded, "But the eldest lady doesn't know who to report to?" ”
"This matter should be reported to the comrades of the task force, and they will definitely deal with it."
"Task force...... "The old mother shook her head, "No, no, no, the task force doesn't know about your sister's resurrection. ”
"Why didn't you tell the task force?"
"The eldest lady is afraid that the case will be affected, and she can't avenge her daughter, besides, it's no different from beating to death, it's better to be killed."
"How can you say that, after all, it's your own flesh and blood."
The old mother felt lost and quickly changed the subject, "It is said that the case has been transferred to the court, and the trial will start in a few days." ”
"Since the task force is not known, we can only wait for the criminal verdict of the court,"
"How?" The old mother asked puzzled.
"You can file a civil complaint in court. If the victim is resurrected from the dead and becomes a vegetative person to be treated in the hospital, the issue of costs, financial rewards, and future living expenses can all be resolved together at the time of sentencing. The court will refund all the expenses incurred during the treatment in a lump sum. ”
"I see," the old mother finally understood, and immediately decided: "My wife wants to knock him hard, and ask for those medical expenses, nursing expenses, lost work expenses, living expenses, and financial reward fees, at least more than 100,000 yuan." ”
"Of course," the eldest nephew waited for a ride, looking up at the car in front of him from time to time, he sympathized with the old man, supported the victim, and helped her to come up with ideas, "It is better to provide a written application to the court, or to have a certificate, and when the trial court is in session, it is also a critical moment, hand in the application, and the presiding judge will make a decision according to the situation." You see: the long-distance bus is coming, the nephew is getting on the bus, goodbye Auntie! With that, he ran towards the coach.
"Goodbye!" The old mother watched her eldest nephew get into the car and shook her hands until she couldn't see her.
At this time, she left, and because she received an explanation from her eldest nephew about the financial reward, she felt a little comforted.
As it turned out, this had nothing to do with the expenses incurred during the patient's hospitalization, and the court would not pay the medical bills for the daughter, and had to settle the bill herself.
However, the medical expenses incurred now must be paid in advance, where will the money come from?
An old lady who lives by farming is not financially wealthy, and at this time, she has already advanced only 3,000 yuan, (note: 3,000 yuan 30 years ago, which is equivalent to 30,000 yuan now,) and let her take out the money, and there is nothing she can do.
However, my heart is much more solid, because with the help of my eldest nephew, I am well prepared and will hand over the application for 100,000 yuan of financial reward on the day of the trial.
When she returned home, the setting sun was about to set over the horizon, and the faint light gave the bamboo roots a radiance like cicada wings. The clouds were covered in golden glow, and they walked like maidens, gradually approaching the surface of the river. There are a few white clouds floating in the sky, like bright and dazzling colored satin, decorating the red and blue sky.
The old mother was in a relaxed mood, and after a while, she made dinner and hurried to the hospital.
She put dinner on the cupboard of the hospital bed, raised her daughter's catkins flying head to facilitate feeding, and then picked up the rice bowl and sighed: "Alas, I have to help my daughter feed it spoonfuls in her mouth." ”
At this time, the relatives of other patients in the same ward were alarmed, and they saw that the old mother was working so hard, and told a joke: "Don't look at your daughter's ability to speak, she can eat quite a big bowl." ”
"yes!" The old mother had a deep understanding and said dissatisfiedly: "She can eat and pull, but she can't speak, she sleeps after eating, and she is unconscious all day long." I don't know what kind of sin the blind woman has suffered in her life, and when will she be the first day to suffer this sin. ”
"You can't be unconscious like this for the rest of your life, right?" The relatives of the three beds pulled up the family routine, and the patients in these two beds were later than the catkins flying, and they were already well and were about to be discharged.
"What's up!" While feeding the old mother, she replied: "The doctors have said that it is possible for a vegetative person to be unconscious for a lifetime, and he will never speak." ”
"For a lifetime!" The relatives in the same ward were surprised and worried about the old mother, but they saw that the plant daughter did not take the injection, and the nurse only gave some medicine, and also gave a box to the relatives one at a time, like this, why not take it home to recuperate, but they could not put it forward, they should let the old mother ask the hospital herself, that is, to help her come up with an idea: "In this case, you have to think of a long-term solution, how can you deliver food every day 365 days a year, if it is the cold winter wax moon, what if the snow closes the door?" ”
