Chapter 229: Another Controversy
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, don't worry, don't be so pessimistic. Uncle Lu's illness is indeed lung cancer, but there is no way to control it from time to time. With proper treatment, there is still a way to control it. It is common for some cancer patients to live for more than ten years. Zeng Yixin hurriedly comforted.
"I know, but for us rural people, having such a disease is equivalent to dying. I don't want to drag you down. I know you're willing to help us, but we can't afford to pay off. Zhang Xiulian shook her head.
When Zeng Yifang heard Zhang Xiulian say this, she immediately cried bitterly: "Auntie, what did you say." If you owe a debt, I owe Zonghua a life. Even if I can't pay it off in my whole life. I can't do Zong Hua in this life, but I can replace Zong Hua to honor you two elders. Therefore, I will take responsibility for Uncle Lu's illness. ”
"Wait. Listen to me first. In fact, the medical cost is not high and the average family can afford it. And you don't have to be hospitalized, as long as you come to the hospital regularly for check-ups. I will help you prepare the Chinese medicine. It's okay if I send it to you, or you can pick it up yourself. But you're so far from here, it's not easy to check it out. Chen Andong said.
That's why Chen Andong insisted on using pure Chinese medicine for Lu Binglin. If chemotherapy is combined with traditional Chinese medicine. One is that Lu Binglin's body can't afford it, and the other is that the cost is too high for the Lu family to afford. If there are a series of complications due to chemotherapy, the final medical costs will be higher. And once chemotherapy is administered. Lu Binglin will be completely out of labor. This is another major blow to Lu Binglin's family. Through Zeng Yixin, Chen Andong and the two sisters already knew a rough idea of the Lu family's family situation. And the previous scene just confirmed Chen Andong's conjecture.
"Not that much?" Zhang Xiulian's voice was obviously joyful.
"The cost is about a dozen yuan a day. If well controlled, patients can still perform light labor. But in the meantime, you're going to have to stay in the hospital for a while. I will give acupuncture to patients for a period of time. I hope that the patient's condition can be controlled, and when the condition is stabilized, he can be discharged from the hospital and go home with medicine for treatment. In the future, you just need to come back regularly for check-ups. Chen Andong made a preliminary calculation of the cost.
"Do you really only need a dozen dollars a day?" Zhang Xiulian asked in surprise.
The two sisters, Zeng Yifang and Zeng Yixin, also looked at Chen Andong incredulously.
"This time, the hospital will charge you for your treatment. I'll prescribe a prescription for you, and you can go to the medicinal herb market to grab the medicine yourself, and grab a little more at a time. Wholesale prices are a bit cheaper. I'll make it for you later. You can go back and take it at the same time. When you calculate it, it may be more than a dozen dollars a day. Chen Anton explained. Explain that you are not talking nonsense when you say this.
"But does it work?" Zhang Xiulian asked worriedly.
"You can give it a try. Treat here for a while. If that doesn't work, try chemotherapy again. Chen Andong said.
"Aunt Zhang, since this is the case, it is better not to tell Uncle Lu about the condition first. The main reason is that Uncle Lu will be under psychological pressure. First of all, the hospital here will be treated according to Dr. Chen's plan. The cost isn't very high anyway. In terms of expenses, my sister is still responsible. Zonghua's matter hit my sister very hard. I haven't been able to recover. I almost had a mental problem. I was also fortunate to meet Dr. Chen. Let her pay for Uncle Lu's treatment. It can also give her some peace of mind. Zeng Yixin finally said that Zhang Xiulian was moved.
Chen Andong wants to use pure Chinese medicine to treat patients with stage III lung cancer, which has sparked heated discussions in the Chinese medicine hospital.
"This Dr. Chen just can't be idle. Always like to be in the limelight. Pure Chinese medicine, our hospital is not unprecedented. Why didn't you stick to it? It's not because pure Chinese medicine is simply not feasible. ”
"Not really. And even if this pure Chinese medicine method is feasible, I am afraid that it will not be able to be applied in our hospital. The cost of integrative medicine can be much higher than that of pure Chinese medicine. If pure Chinese medicine is really feasible, and all our hospitals will use pure Chinese medicine in the future, where will the income of our hospital come from in the future? ”
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Young people are bold. Even cancer dares to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, and it is at an advanced stage. ”
The whole TCM hospital is spreading.
"Jingjing. You have to persuade your little east when you go back. Don't take any chances. In these days, the risks of becoming a doctor are also very high. In case it is not cured. If something goes wrong, it will leave a stain on your medical career. Your Xiaodong's medical skills are very clever. But it's cancer after all. And it's stage 3 lung cancer. It's a disease that can't be cured. It doesn't matter if the patient goes to chemotherapy, or how it is treated. How can such a patient be cured well with pure Chinese medicine? He Yuanqian kept ringing the alarm bell in Wei Jingjing's ears.
Wei Jingjing was also very distressed, although Chen Andong listened to her, it was also limited to life matters. In terms of work, Wei Jingjing has no way to care about Chen Andong. First of all, Chen Andong's attainments in traditional Chinese medicine are not something she can manage at all. Moreover, Chen Andong's use of pure Chinese medicine methods was finally determined after expert consultation, and now it has been recognized by the patient's family. In this case, how can I make Chen Andong stop? And the news has already spread out, let Chen Andong stop at this time, and the entire Chinese medicine hospital will not know what to say about Chen Andong in the future.
Yang Fang didn't think so much: "Why are you bothering so much?" Dr. Chan dared to do this shows that he is sure in his heart. There are no bold attempts in medicine, where does the great progress come from? I support Dr Chan's bold attempt at pure Chinese medicine to treat cancer. If Dr. Tan succeeds, it will have a huge impact on the career of TCM. ”
"Your head is in the water, what are you singing at this time? Now the whole hospital is waiting to see Dr. Chen's joke. In case something happens. Do you know how big the negative effects of Dr. Di Chan are? You only see the positives, but you don't see the risks. He Yuanqian immediately refuted a big-breasted and brainless guy.
"Oh, I'm just talking about it. Say whatever you want. By the way, when will I go to Dr. Chen to discuss acupuncture and weight loss? I was careless, and I gained several pounds in weight. If it goes on like this, life will really be tragic. Yang Fang looked at her belly worriedly as if she had been pregnant for several months and said.
"You, life is a tragedy." He Yuanqian said angrily.
When she got off work, Wei Jingjing asked Chen Andong about this matter on the way.
"Why are you so bold? Stage 3 lung cancer, you dare to try pure Chinese medicine. ”
Chen Andong smiled: "Don't worry. I have the bottom of my heart. Different patients have different treatments. If it were a normal patient, I wouldn't try to do something like that. But this family, the family situation is relatively special, the only son died unexpectedly a few years ago. They may abandon treatment if they were treated with other treatments. It could be two more lives. Pure Chinese medicine is not as risky as you think. As long as I can stabilize the patient's condition, I have succeeded in the first step. It will be simpler later.
