Chapter 41: Stroke
It takes about an hour to drive from Tashan Town to the First People's Hospital of the city, and of course the speed of the ambulance is relatively fast, so Yan Luo and his grandfather arrived at the First People's Hospital of the city after forty minutes.
The facilities and personnel of the first hospital in the city are definitely not comparable to those of the township hospitals, so my grandfather's illness was diagnosed less than half an hour after the consultation.
"What, stroke?"
Yan Luo couldn't believe it when she heard the attending doctor tell her that the reason for her grandfather's fainting was a stroke! At this moment, Yan Luo felt that all the strength of her body had been drained, and she only felt that all thoughts were lost, because in her rare medical knowledge, stroke seemed to have been equated with death.
"Stroke is a common name for acute cerebrovascular disease, and the clinical manifestations are characterized by sudden fainting, crooked mouth and eyes, hemiplegia, and speech difficulties.
"Then, is my grandfather still saved?" Yan Luoxin asked like ashes.
"Little girl, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and malignant tumors are the three major diseases with the highest mortality rates today, so I really can't give you a positive answer!"
The attending doctor told Yan Luo with a serious face: "Thanks to you for sending him to the hospital early, otherwise even if the gods came, they wouldn't be able to save him!" ”
"Then my grandfather is saved, right?"
Yan Luo asked happily.
But the attending doctor shook his head helplessly.
"We can't guarantee this, the top priority now is to have surgery right away!"
"But we are not sure whether this operation will be successful, so little girl, you should quickly call your parents over, and then decide whether to have the operation or not!"
"Doctor, my grandfather and I are the only two people in our family, so all decisions are up to me!"
Yan Luoqiang held up his spirit and said to the doctor firmly: "Doctor, can you tell me honestly what the success rate of this operation is, and what is the success rate if you don't do surgery and just do conservative treatment?" ”
The attending doctor looked at Yan Luo's immature but strong little face, and finally decided to tell him frankly: "If the patient does not have surgery, he can still last for some days, but that is only waiting for death in pain, if you want to treat it, you must choose surgery, but to be honest, we can't say what the probability of success of this operation is, in fact, there are only two results!" ”
Success or Death!
The doctor's meaning Yan Luo understood, but now this difficult choice is in her hands, after she signed the operation confirmation, she greeted her grandfather with nothing more than those two results, if she didn't sign, maybe her grandfather could continue to live, but it was a kind of life that was worse than death!
"Doctor, please have surgery, I agree to the operation!"
Gritting his teeth, Yan Luoyu said to the doctor firmly. If the operation really failed, then my grandfather could easily die with dignity, and she couldn't selfishly let my grandfather continue to accompany her in this world because she was afraid of being alone!
"Okay!"
"Little girl, go through the hospitalization procedures now and pay the fee in advance, we will start preparing for the operation right away!"
Yan Luo nodded, propped up his body and went downstairs towards the toll office.
Grandpa did not shy away from Yan Luo about how much money he had in the family, or where to put all the money and passbooks in the family, and his grandfather told Yan Luo, so that she could get it herself when she needed it.
In his grandfather's heart, Yan Luo is a precocious child, she knows the importance of money and understands where to spend money, so he did not control the pocket money very dead like other parents, he hopes that Yan Luo will learn how to manage money from an early age and develop a good habit of being diligent and thrifty, so Yan Luo brought the family's cash and bank cards before going out.
After paying her grandfather's bank card and all the balance of 50,000 yuan in her bank card, Yan Luo reflexively returned to the operating room and bookmarked the confirmation of the operation, and then she sat alone on the bench outside the operating room and waited helplessly for the result.
"Little girl, the operation will last for a long time, maybe three or five hours, you better go eat something first!"
A passing nurse kindly suggested to Yan Luo.
"Thank you!"
Yan Luo thanked the nurse gratefully, but she did not follow the nurse's advice.
"I'm going to wait here, I can't rest assured if my grandfather doesn't come out!"
"Alas!"
The head nurse sighed and walked away, unable to think of any way to persuade the patient's family.
Yan Luo didn't know how long she had been waiting, from the outside the sun was still blazing to the starry sky, but the door of the operating room had been closed, and she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, so she could only lean on the back of the chair and fall asleep.
"Bang!"
The door of the operating room finally opened, Yan Luo was full of excitement, immediately stood up from the bench, first nervously looked at his grandfather's state, and then anxiously ran to the attending doctor to ask about the results of the operation.
My grandfather's attending doctor is the director of the brain department of the first hospital in the city, surnamed Liu, who is in his fifties, and he was very tired from the six-hour operation, but in the face of the anxious Yan Luo, he still told her the results of the operation.
"Although the operation has been successful, the patient is far from being out of danger, because the patient is old and all organs in the body are obviously in a state of failure, so he needs to continue to observe in the intensive care unit!"
Speaking of this, Dr. Liu paused before saying to Yan Luo: "Little girl, your grandfather's illness needs to cost a lot of money, even if you are rescued, you need long-term recuperation to have any hope of recovery, so you still have to plan early!" ”
Yan Luo nodded seriously, she understood what the doctor meant, whether her grandfather's surgery could be successful was one thing, whether he could recover after success was another, and then whether they could get the treatment fee was another thing!
But Yan Luo didn't have any hesitation about this, she was willing to sell the family house for the sake of her grandfather's illness!
After his grandfather entered the intensive care unit, Yan Luo guarded him every step of the way, until he was really tired and couldn't hold on, and then he fell asleep on the family bed's companion bed under the persuasion of the nurse.
Early the next morning, after receiving the doctor's assurance that "the patient's condition has not deteriorated", Yan Luo left the hospital with peace of mind and went home to pack up his things and bring all the family's savings with him in case of emergency.
When Yan Luo returned home, he took out an iron box from under the clock behind the TV, which contained all the passbooks at home, Yan Luo took a look, there were six in total, five for 40,000 yuan, and one for 20,000 yuan, so that it was a total of 220,000 yuan.
Although my grandfather has been the principal of a primary school for more than 30 years, he has been honest and self-disciplined, and there is a kind of literati who are upright and old-fashioned, so he has not taken advantage of the school, and he has only saved more than 200,000 yuan over the years.
So now Yan Luo can only hope that the money can meet his grandfather's treatment.
