Chapter 360: Discharge
After the blood was drawn, Dean Park asked the nurse to bring a joint fixator and personally replaced the fixation splint on Li Min's left arm. Eun Shu was sent to buy lunch by Li Min, and now there are only two people left in the ward, Dean Park and Li Min.
Li Min's left arm has been swollen overnight, the bone crack is not a fracture, and it does not need to be fixed with a plaster, this titanium alloy joint fixator can restrict the movement of Li Min's left arm, and if he falls, it can also ensure that his left arm will not be injured twice, which is the most suitable device.
It was very easy to change this thing, and Dr. Park was talking to him while helping him change it. The part that is difficult to say has been said by Lee Sun-ah, and now Dean Park has nothing to hide from Lee Min. Therefore, he answered all the questions raised by Li Min in detail. Including the question of how to treat it, as well as how long he will live.
"So, I have at least four or five years left?" After listening to Dean Park's words, Li Min seemed a lot more optimistic, just now he thought that he was about to die, but now he has four or five years of life out of thin air, and suddenly has a sense of luck.
"It's not that way, it's just an average, Jonesheimer's disease infection spreads differently in each patient, and four or five years is just an optimistic estimate. And there are many external factors that can affect the spread of the infective, so we can't be sure whether this time is four or five years or two or three years, in short, the progress of the search for stem cells should be carried out quickly, and time should not be wasted. Have you considered my suggestion? STAR Hospital has one of the best retreats in Korea and will definitely take good care of you. If you agree. In the afternoon, we transferred to the hospital, and the medical equipment there was much better, and the examination was also convenient. Dean Park had already helped Li Min install the joint fixator, and Li Min tried to bend back, and sure enough, he didn't feel much pain, but the range of movement was restricted, exceeding the range specified by the joint fixator, and there was no way to use any more force.
"It's kind of like a prosthetic." Li Min felt a little novel and said.
Dean Park looked at Li Min's attitude, feeling a little helpless, he could see that Li Min was avoiding his question. This means that he has a visceral instinctive resistance to this suggestion. Li Min is no ordinary patient. Dean Park had no way of asking him to do anything. Dean Park thought for a moment and said, "You already know the situation, so what do you think should be done?" ”
Lee Min smiled, and he looked into Dean Park's eyes. Said seriously: "I want to be discharged." He was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon. ”
"Discharged?" Dean Park subconsciously shouted. It's as if I've heard something ridiculous. "Li Min, did you understand what I just said? Jonesheimer's disease is a very, very dangerous disease, and you're running out of time right now. Not much, understand? You're still thinking about being discharged? ”
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not nervous, what are you nervous about." Li Min said indifferently.
Dean Park thought to himself, I don't want to be nervous, your sister is staring at me, is it possible that I'm not nervous?
"Dean Park, you answer me two questions. First, do I live in a hospital for blood matching? Second, I am living in the hospital and can't find the right match, can you cure me? ”
Dean Park was stunned, the answers to the two questions were obvious, finding a blood match did not require Li Min to live in the hospital, and if he could not find a blood match, he could not be cured if he lived in the hospital. Dean Park suddenly felt that something was wrong there, as if he had no reason to keep Lee Min in the hospital.
"You can't say that, you are in the hospital, we can monitor your physical condition at any time, maybe we can find other treatments, this is not a 100% negative thing." Dean Park said.
"How likely is it to find other treatments? One thousandth, or one hundredth? Lee Min sneered, obviously not believing Dean Park's words. Not only him, but when Dean Park said this kind of thing, he didn't believe it himself, there are thousands of experts and scholars in the whole world who are studying this disease, but they have not found a cure, and he, who is not an expert in blood diseases, wants to find it, the possibility is really very small.
Li Min sighed and said; "As you said, I'm running out of time. Do you think I should live like lying in a hospital bed with blood tests every day and full of tubes, or should I live a wonderful life beyond the little time I have left? To be honest, I'd rather live a normal life for two or three years than live in a hospital bed for twenty or thirty years. Maybe not for others, but for me, that's what I decided. You don't have to persuade me, I've already decided. ”
Dean Park was speechless because he found that he really couldn't find the right words to persuade Lee Min. He thought about it for a while, if he was in Li Min's position, knowing that he had a terminal illness that could not be cured, he would also choose to spend the rest of his life wonderfully, rather than staying in the ward and waiting for death.
Li Min saw what Dean Park was embarrassed about, and said with a smile: "I'll go and say it to my sister, you don't have to be embarrassed." ”
Hearing Li Min say this, Dean Park really had nothing to say, nodded and agreed with Li Min's approach. But there are some things he can't back down. Dean Park said to Li Min: "I can agree that you will not live in the hospital, but you must also cooperate with the treatment." ”
Li Min nodded, if he could live for a while longer, of course he had no reason to refuse.
"Depending on your current condition, you need to come to STAR Hospital at least once a month for a comprehensive check-up to determine your physical condition. Another point, if your body has to be hospitalized at a point where you have to be hospitalized, this is the bottom line as a doctor, I can't watch you die without trying. ”
Both of these demands are reasonable, and Li Min has no reason to refuse. The monthly examination will not have a big impact, and the second one, Li Min feels that when he has to be hospitalized, it will be the so-called outbreak period, Li Min has already planned, he will not give himself the opportunity to be hospitalized, there are so many ways to die, he will definitely not wait for death in the hospital.
"I promised you, can you let me out of the hospital in the afternoon?" Li Min said.
"Yes. By the way, you have a bone laceration on your left arm and need to come back regularly for a check-up, no problem, right? ”
"No problem, when you need to come over and check, you can notify my assistant." Li Min said, suddenly he remembered something, and said: "The matter of my illness is only known to these people who know the Tao now, don't let others know the Tao anymore." I mean, you can get the idea, right? ”
"I understand." Dean Park responded. "I'll keep it a secret." (To be continued......)
