080 First review
In my sister's words, I am my father's only son, so I have to make some of the most critical decisions. With the progress and development of society, although the social status of women has been improved to a great extent, the influence of thousands of years of feudal Confucianism is still deep-rooted in many aspects. For example, before my father's surgery, my family signed it, and the attending physician also emphasized that it must be me. I remember asking the attending physician the question, "If there is no son, who will sign it?" Without thinking about it, he replied, "If you really don't have a son, then you have to have a daughter to sign it." "Even highly educated attending physicians subconsciously rank women in society behind men.
Here, I don't want to make too much comment on the traditional culture that has a profound impact on the Chinese people. I mention it only because it affects my father. My sister had already made many calls to some famous old Chinese medicine doctors in Shanghai, Nanjing and even Yangzhou. However, due to the lack of my decision-making (the decision on where to go and which old Chinese medicine practitioner to find), the idea of prescribing Chinese medicine for my father has never been implemented. Now that I think about it, I regret it a little. If I had been able to devote all my energy to my father earlier, and if I had taken my father to see the old Chinese medicine doctor earlier, then maybe my father would not have left so hastily. It's just that there aren't so many ifs in this world, things have happened and can never be changed. Regret is no longer helpful.
Although I didn't go back to my hometown much before my wife's exams, that doesn't mean that my father and I don't see each other often. When I was discharged from the hospital, the attending physician told me to go for check-ups every once in a while. A period of time here refers to about two weeks. The attending physician told us to go for a follow-up check-up on Thursday, because every Thursday was when he went out of the clinic.
In fact, when we were discharged from the hospital, we wanted my father to live in the city, and a very important reason was to take into account the issue of re-examination. After all, after returning to my hometown, it is very inconvenient to come and go once. But helplessly, my father insisted on going back to his hometown, so in order not to make him anxious, we had to go with him.
The day my father was discharged from the hospital seemed to be a Tuesday. The following Thursday happened to be my father's birthday, and it was not two weeks away, so on this Thursday, I didn't go to the hospital for a follow-up. Therefore, the following Thursday I had to go to the hospital for a follow-up.
Considering my father's difficulty walking, we planned to call a car to pick up my parents back to the city, but my parents, who were only interested in saving money, refused. On that Thursday, my parents first rode a battery car to carry my father to the market town, and then took the city and city buses, and then transferred to the city buses when they got to the city. It took a few turns before I was able to come to the hospital.
Along the way, I made several phone calls with great trepidation. When my parents were going to the city, I took the bus to the bus stop near the hospital and waited.
My father's temper was still so stubborn, and after getting out of the car, he resolutely refused to let me support him. In desperation, I had to follow closely behind my father and guard. In this way, if there is a stumbling situation, I can also support my father in time.
Although I didn't have the vigorous pace I had when I was healthy, I found that my father was walking much more firmly than when he was in the hospital. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart. Soon we went to the second floor and found my father's attending physician's outpatient clinic.
I really don't know how many people get sick when they don't go to the hospital! What we saw was a whole clinic full of people. Among these many people, in addition to the accompanying ones, most of them came for follow-up consultations after surgery, just like their fathers, and of course, a few of them were newly diagnosed with esophageal diseases and came to be hospitalized for surgery. My father's attending physician was only one of the attending physicians of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery in the Municipal People's Hospital, but he was alone, and when it was just after eight o'clock, so many patients came!
With just one glance, I knew that my father wasn't going to be my father's turn in a moment. I didn't squeeze in blindly like the crowd inside. Because I knew that my father was not like us, he was fine for most of the day, so I first arranged for my parents to sit on a bench in the veranda outside the outpatient clinic.
I knew that my parents must be anxious to know what kind of condition my father was in at this time, so when they were seated, I said to them, "Mom and Dad, you can rest assured that you are waiting here. I'll go in and see, and as soon as it's my turn, I'll come out and tell you to come in. ”
As soon as I stepped through the door of the outpatient room, I couldn't help but sigh, "Good guy! It turns out that I just spied the leopard in the tube! "Because, after entering the outpatient room, I realized that there was a world inside. This one-room-sized clinic is connected to another one. And the other "inner room", which is no smaller than the outpatient room, is actually crowded with people. Although there are a lot of people, I can still see that most of the people here have follow-up visits, and they have been there for a long time after the surgery. I was somewhat relieved to see so many patients who were my father's attending physicians, and that many of them seemed to have passed the high-risk period of relapse. Combined with what I saw today about my father's walking condition, my confidence in my father's recovery could not help but increase a little more.
I'm not in a hurry to fight with those people. On the one hand, because after the re-examination, my parents will go back to the city with me to rest, and we don't need to rush back to our hometown, so from the perspective of time, we seem to have plenty of time. On the other hand, I think that when there are many people, the attending physician and patients will inevitably become impatient, so it is better to wait until the majority of people have left. In this way, you can calmly check the boy carefully and clearly.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the crowded crowd finally sparsely dispersed. As expected, when it was my father's turn, I felt that the attending physician was going to examine him much more carefully than the previous ones. My heart hangs in the air. Because, I was afraid that something would happen to my father's health. Fortunately, the smiling attending physician kept saying "Good!" "Pretty well recovering!"
At the moment when my father asked why Scar always hurt. My heart hung in the air again.
"What about such a long scar? Do you think you'll be fully recovered in just over a month? ”
The attending physician asked rhetorically, and my father's hanging hearts were finally completely relaxed. Because, we think the attending physician has a point. Not to mention such a long scar, even if you fall and break a bone or something, it can't be fully recovered in a month or two.
