Chapter 4: Three years of bitterness, three years of waiting
"Forty-five thousand!"
Dr. Ding seemed to see Lin Li's doubts: "This Lin Fanchen's father is in a vegetative state and is in an irreversible coma, and we are commonly known as vegetative people. ”
"At present, we mainly use physical factor therapy and exercise therapy, using spasmodic machines to stimulate hypertonic muscle groups, and FES to stimulate muscle atrophy muscle groups. Joint contractures are treated with drafting techniques and paralyzed limbs are treated with passive joint mobility training (PROM). ”
"And hyperbaric oxygen therapy is given every week, which can increase blood oxygen concentration, improve blood circulation in the brain, and promote the activation of reticular structures and the reconstruction of brain function."
Lin Fanchen looked at the list in his hand and nodded, "Aunt Ding, can we go and see Dad?" ”
"Of course no problem, your dad is still in 367." Dr. Ding tidied up his things and walked out.
Not long after, Lin Fanchen and the others came to ward 367.
Dr. Ding pushed open the door and revealed a clean and tidy ward, where a nurse was holding a notebook and recording something in front of the instrument.
And in front of her lay a masculine-looking and tall middle-aged uncle, but his eyes were closed and his face was dull, but the heroism between his eyebrows was faintly visible.
"Dad!" Lin Luo snorted lightly and pounced forward.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face, the thoughts in the girl's heart exploded instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes......
"Dad, my brother and I came to see you!"
Looking at this scene, Lin Fanchen's eyes also turned red, and he stepped forward and patted the girl's shoulder: "Lao Yu, I'm bothering you again with Luo Luo......
"Alas~" Dr. Ding also seemed to be a little sad, and beckoned Lin Li and the nurse: "Let's go out first, leave this place for the two brothers and sisters!" ”
The nurse nodded to Dr. Ding and walked to the next ward.
"Hello, what do you call you?"
"My surname is Lin, I have a single word, I am Lin Fanchen's new head teacher, just call me Lin Lin."
Dr. Ding looked Lin Li up and down, but he didn't see that the young and beautiful Lin Li looked like a teacher, and there was not much left to say that she was a college student: "The new head teacher, I remember that it was Teacher Zhang?" ”
"Something happened to Teacher Zhang, so let me take them now."
"That's it!"
Lin Li glanced at Lin Fanchen and them: "What is the problem with Lin Fanchen's father, Doctor Ding?" ”
Dr. Ding was on a bench in the hallway, his eyes full of memories.
"About three years ago, Lin Fanchen's father suddenly fainted, and they were sent to our hospital as soon as possible, but my detailed and complex examination found that this was different from the general vegetative state, and it was more brain dead than it, but there were some different ......."
"Then, Lin Fanchen resolutely took Lin Luo and his father around to ask for medicine!"
"In six months, I don't know how many places and hospitals he went to, but he got back an examination report from the first hospital in the United States."
Now Lin Fanchen is almost eighteen years old, which means that three years ago, Lin Fanchen was only fifteen years old!
Dr. Ding really couldn't imagine that a 15-year-old child could take his sister across the ocean to treat his father's illness, which was difficult and bitter, and Dr. Ding felt like crying just thinking about it......
"What the hell is this?" Lin Ling leaned on the bench and sat down slowly, his face also slightly moved.
"The brain has entered a vegetative state, but it is not the same as most vegetative people, among the various examinations on more than a dozen pages, there is a page about the examination of gene types, which shows that the genes of Lin Fanchen and Lin Luo are 0.2% different from the genes of normal humans, but Lin Fanchen's father has reached 0.5%!"
Lin Li's eyebrows straightened, and his expression tightened: "So this is a hereditary disease, Lin Fanchen and Lin Luo also have it?" ”
"Not necessarily, the report believes that the reason why Lin Fanchen's father and son have such a big gap in genes may be because of some unknown acquired factor that affects a chromosome in the gene chain."
"Is there a cure?"
"Alas~" Dr. Ding shook his head lightly and remained silent.
"That Lin Fanchen ...... them"
Lin Lian was also silent.
In the eyes of normal logical thinking, since there is no cure, then it should be ......
There is a saying among the common people of China - you can't let the dead drag down the living!
To some extent, Lin Fanchen's father is a dead man, and he is also a living dead like a gold-swallowing beast.
Although it sounds ruthless and cruel, this is the reality, the naked reality!
Lin Li also saw it just now, a month's medical expenses are really not cheap, and she also knows a little about Lin Fanchen and Lin Lin's economic situation from the previous head teacher, and it can be summed up in one word, that is, a drop in the bucket.
Lin Fanchen used the vacation to work as a mechanic in an auto repair shop outside, because he could only use the vacation to go to work, so Lin Li thought that he should not have too high an income.
Lin Luo's words, scholarships and grants of the highest standard, are not a joke!
But that's on a semester basis, and on average it doesn't get much per month......
This is still the current economic situation, and three years ago, fifteen-year-olds might have been even more unbearable.
Dr. Ding saw what Lin Li was thinking: "At that time, this incident still attracted great attention in Lanhai City and the entire Linhai Province, I don't know what the reason is, the government has provided great help to Lin Fanchen, and the expenses in the first year will be reimbursed by 50%!" ”
"It's a little bit less now, but it's 20 percent."
"But it's not enough, isn't it?"
“… I've heard that they sold their house a year ago! ”
Lin Li was slightly moved: "This..."
For Chinese people, the house is not only a symbol of wealth, it is also a home, but also the last retreat!
Lin Fanchen's voice suddenly sounded.
With red eyes, Lin Fanchen gently walked out of the ward: "The house is just as much as money, and you can earn it if you don't have it, but there is only one father!" ”
"But..."
"Home is not a house, let alone a ticket, a place with Luo Luo and a father is home, whether it is a park bench or under an overpass, it is home!"
Dr. Ding looked up and held back tears in his eyes.
Lin Li blinked, tilting his head and not knowing what he was thinking......
"Is it worth it to cut off the last retreat for the sake of an illusory hope?"
"We don't need to retreat, Lin Luo and I firmly believe that my father will wake up, five, ten, twenty years... It doesn't matter how long! ”
"But you have to go to school, you have to take the college entrance examination next semester, and you will need a lot of money for your college career after that!"
looked at Lin Li, who looked concerned, Lin Fanchen wanted to speak and stopped, and finally Lin Fanchen decided to say it.
Lin Fanchen pulled Lin Lian a little farther away and said softly: "Next month, I am going to take a break from school for half a year, I hope Sister Ling can approve it!" ”
"What are you kidding, the study pressure in the third year of high school is so great, you have to take a break from school for half a year, you will ruin your life like this!"
Lin Fanchen's expression was very determined, and he was not moved at all.
"I am the only man in the family, I must support this family, and I have no regrets for this!"
The huge medical expenses are like a mountain on the top of this family's head, and at the same time, it also weighs on Lin Fanchen's thin shoulders, which is not something he should bear at his age...... But there is no way!
Whether or not to bear it and whether it can be beared, Lin Fanchen has proved everything with his actions!
Lin Li stared at Lin Fanchen's eyes and looked at it again and again, and sighed for a long time: "It's really a fool!" ”
"Hey, it's not going to work, I'm going to die, wait a minute, sister make a call!"
Lin Li took out his white and simple mobile phone and pulled out a number.
Why did he make a phone call inexplicably, Lin Fanchen couldn't figure it out, but he knew that whether Lin Li agreed or not, it was imperative to suspend school, because this was the best way for Lin Luo and his father!
Lin Li's side was quickly connected, because of the proximity and the fact that Lin Lien did not avoid it, Lin Fanchen could still faintly hear it.
“Hello, that?” (Hello, that one?) )
"Me!"
"God It turned out to be six"
Lin Fanchen thinks that he should have heard it wrong, and foreigners often use "God!" "As an exclamation word, sure enough, English is not as easy to understand as Chinese! (╯_╰)
Lin Li: "Huh? What do you call me? ”
“… Sister Ling ”(…… Sister Ling)
"That's right, old Arthur?"
“Grandpa went to clean your temple!” (Grandpa went to clean your house!) )
"I don't have to be so troublesome in that place, just ask someone to get it twice!"
"How can that work........." )
Lin Li seemed to know that it was not appropriate to discuss this issue with the other end of the phone, so he quickly changed to the main topic: "Stop, stop, I'm on business, I'm in a hurry to ask for money now, you can transfer some money!" By the way, can you turn around? ”
“Yes, how much do you need? The whole angel fund is always ready!” (Yes, how much money do you need?) The whole Bright Fund is always ready! )
Lin Lian glanced at Lin Fanchen, as if he was disgusted that Lin Fanchen had never seen the world: "200,000, let's transfer 200,000 first!" ”
“200 thousand, your address is Huaxia, so 200 thousand RMB, right!” (200,000, your address is Huaxia, so 200,000 Huaxia, right!) )
"Yes, Miss Arthur!"
"With all due respect, you're too Down and out"
Lin Li: "......"
"Fuck off!"
Lin Li hung up the phone angrily, looked at Lin Fanchen in the circle, and sighed: "Let's go, Tubaozi, my sister has successfully robbed the rich, and the rest is to help the poor!" ”
