004 Strongly persuade
No one can persuade the father. My parents just stayed in their hometown.
I heard that there is a relationship, and the result may be faster. It just so happened that my wife's eldest aunt was in Tongxiang. So, let my wife contact her eldest cousin. Coincidentally, the eldest cousin had an acquaintance in Tongxiang People's Hospital, so I asked him for help to investigate.
As the saying goes: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The eldest cousin replied that she would have to wait for two or three days. However, the most depressing thing is that these four or five days happen to be separated by a weekend. The eldest cousin said that Saturdays and Sundays were not reported, so these two days could not be counted. In other words, we have to wait for two more days for the final inspection report. The eldest cousin was also very enthusiastic about saying that she would pay close attention and notify us as soon as she got the inspection report.
Although he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, there was nothing he could do. Wait, all I can do is wait.
It was a physical and mental ordeal. I was very worried because cancer cells don't wait for anyone. I was afraid that the longer it dragged on, the worse my father's condition would become. The last thing I want is to miss out on the best treatment period because of this long wait.
What to do? Am I going to have to wait so helplessly? No way! This must not be the case. During this time, I had to do something for my father!
Distressed, anxious, dazed...... It didn't take long for me to feel a splitting headache. In the drowsiness, suddenly a flash of inspiration. Isn't my wife's cousin a doctor?
When you think of it, act immediately. Get her cousin's number from her wife as quickly as possible. After some inquiry, it seems that he is relatively expert in esophageal tumors. According to him, the possibility of a misdiagnosis in such an examination is very small. In other words, it is a foregone conclusion that my father will have an esophageal tumor. This made my heart even heavier. Still, I clung to the last glimmer of hope. Since the results of the examination have not yet been released, it is not certain that it must be malignant. When my cousin heard this, he said very vaguely that more than 90% of esophageal tumors are malignant, so basically without looking at the test results, he can judge that the situation is definitely not good.
Once again, it has been hit hard. I don't know how I hung up the phone, whether I thanked my wife's cousin, whether I ...... Anyway, I just feel dizzy.
After calming down a bit, I immediately thought of calling my sister. After hearing my description, my sister was silent for a while.
"Go to Nanjing......" my sister and I said almost in unison.
In fact, not only my father, but also ourselves have a distrustful attitude towards the local municipal people's hospital. Therefore, after realizing the seriousness of the problem, they all felt that it was better to go to Nanjing for medical treatment.
"When are you going?" My sister asked.
"The sooner the better, of course!" I answered without hesitation.
"Hmm!"
"Then I'll call back now." I don't like to procrastinate, so I decided very decisively.
"Good!" After my sister finished speaking, she hung up the phone quickly.
"Dad, I discussed it with my sister and thought it would be safer to go to Nanjing." This time, there was less of a negotiating tone in my words.
"To Nanjing?" The father asked noncommittally.
"We feel that the technology and equipment of Nanjing Hospital are much more advanced, and even the quality of medical staff is higher than that of Nanjing Municipal People's Hospital. Aren't you not very optimistic about the Municipal People's Hospital? I spared no effort to persuade him.
"What technology, equipment? The results are still out yet! If it is benign, then it is not necessary to have surgery. There is no need for surgery, so what is the use of the best technology and equipment? The father replied with a slight dissatisfaction.
I'm in such a hurry! I can't say it directly: don't wait, there is a good chance that ** is malignant! Because I'm afraid my father won't be able to bear it. "With better technology and equipment, the results are more accurate, and the possibility of mistakes is less, isn't it?"
"Tongxiang was also sent to Hangzhou for inspection, and it is also a provincial capital, how big can the gap be? I'll wait for the results to come out. ”
The father was notoriously stubborn. I've known this for a long time. When persuasion failed, I had no choice but to give up. But, for the sake of my father, I don't want to give up my efforts. Immediately after, I called my cousin.
"Brother, did you persuade my father?" I asked tentatively.
"Alas, I can't do anything about it. Uncle is an elder after all......"
I could hear the helplessness in my cousin's words. "My wife's cousin is also a doctor, and I asked, and he said that my father's condition may not be very good." Actually, my main purpose is not to ask the results of his persuasion.
"Oh, what did he say?" The cousin asked with some eagerness.
Esophageal tumors are generally malignant, he said. Therefore, after discussing with my sister, I decided to take my father to Nanjing for medical treatment as soon as possible. "There's no need to go around the bush with my cousin, so I'm going straight to the point.
"Well, that's fine. After all, Nanjing Hospital is much better than the Municipal People's Hospital! "My cousin was very supportive of our decision.
"It's just that my dad just doesn't agree. He insisted on waiting until the inspection report of Tongxiang came out before making plans. "Who else can I ask for help with such a problem?
Of course, my cousin also understood what I meant. "Tongxiang's report, it seems to have come out in a day or two, right?"
I was a little confused about my cousin's rhetorical question, but I still answered truthfully: "Well, it's just these two days." ”
"It's better to persuade my uncle and say that no matter what the result is, I will go to the hospital anyway. When the inspection report of Tongxiang comes out, at least you have to go to the Municipal People's Hospital to have a look. It's better to go to the city first. The report will be out in two days. In this way, you can go to the hospital as soon as you get the report. What do you think? ”
"Okay!" When I heard this, I immediately replied very excitedly. As the saying goes: Knowing the son is better than the father. In fact, the reverse is also true, that is, knowing the father and the son. As soon as I heard it, I knew that this plan would definitely work. "After my father comes to the city, we will try to persuade him to go to Nanjing." The so-called one step at a time is one step, let my father come to the city first.
"Okay, then I'll go now." My cousin is also a decisive person.
"Good!" With that, I hung up the phone immediately.
I certainly trust my own judgment. But the so-called: care is chaos. I am still worried about whether I can succeed. I clutched the phone and walked back and forth, my palms sweating slightly. I'm waiting for my cousin's reply. I desperately hope that my cousin will succeed. I have made up my mind that as long as my father comes, I will drive him to Nanjing!
Although I knew that it would take some time for my cousin to come to my house and persuade my father, I couldn't calm down no matter how hard I tried, without receiving a call from my cousin right away.
