At four o'clock, a middle-aged man brought a little girl to see a doctor.

The little girl wore a black cotton suit, glasses, a scarf over her face, and gloves on her hands, and she did not take them off when she entered the room.

Now it's very cold outside a few degrees below zero, but there is heating indoors, and most people will take these off when they go indoors, otherwise it will be hot.

However, no one in the hospital had seen it, and Dr. Xiao was not surprised.

"What's wrong?" Dr. Xiao asked.

"My daughter has been coughing all the time during this time, and she has been taking medicine for several months, and she has not been able to get better...... the girl's father said.

As if to confirm his words, the little girl coughed violently before the words fell, and her face turned red with coughing.

"How many months?" Dr. Xiao frowned slightly.

"It's been three or four months, and I can't remember exactly." The girl's father said.

"Did you catch a cold before? Is there phlegm? Dr. Xiao continued to ask.

"Nope." The girl shook her head.

"Have you ever made a film?" Dr. Xiao asked again.

"Nope." The girl's father replied, "I don't think she's seriously ill, just buy some cough medicine to eat, I've been coughing badly lately." ”

Dr. Xiao picked up the stethoscope and walked up to the girl, "Open the cotton clothes." ”

The girl's face flushed, but she still unbuttoned her cotton coat, and Dr. Xiao put the stethoscope on her chest, "exhale, inhale......"

The girl took a deep breath and exhaled.

Dr. Xiao's brows furrowed, "Come again, exhale, cough again......"

"Listen to it!" Dr. Xiao said to Guo Xiang and An Zehan beside him.

The two nodded, Dr. Xiao is going to teach on the spot? What a qualified tutor.

An Zehan and Guo Xiang also went up separately and listened with a stethoscope, and when the little girl saw such a handsome guy as An Zehan coming over, her face turned red, she was short of breath, and she was panting.

"That's not right." An Zehan said.

Guo Xiang also nodded, "It's not normal, there is a crackle." ”

"Could it be pneumonia?" An Zehan said.

"Open your mouth, I'll take a look." Dr. Xiao said, picking up a small flashlight.

The girl opened her mouth.

"Say 'Ah'."

"Ahh

The throat doesn't seem to be inflamed either, so there is something wrong with the lungs?

"Let's make a film." Dr. Xiao said.

"Is it pneumonia?" The girl's father is a little nervous, the child is now in his third year of high school and is about to take the college entrance examination, what if he is hospitalized with pneumonia and delays his studies?

"I can't confirm it yet, let's make a film." Dr. Xiao said, taking a pen to issue a bill, "Let the doctor get the result faster, just say that I said it." ”

The girl's father nodded, took the order and took the child down to pay the fee to go to the X-ray room to take a film.

"It's pneumonia, right?" An Zehan looked at Dr. Xiao, several people who came to see the doctor today had a cold and fever, and one of them had pneumonia, and he had been admitted to the hospital.

Dr. Xiao didn't speak, his expression a little serious.

After about an hour, it was time to leave work, and the girl's father hurried over with the girl.

Dr. Xiao picked up the X-ray and clipped it to the light box, and all three of them went up to look at it.

This was a big shock, which was much more serious than pneumonia, and the lungs were partially fibroid.

The lungs are an important respiratory organ of the human body, people who have bought pig lungs in the market may have seen it, the lungs are a little pink, very elastic, there are many holes in the incision, interspersed with blood vessels in the middle, and human breathing is mainly completed through the exchange of gas between blood and alveoli.

However, if the lungs are fibrotic, it is the secretion of collagen between the interstitium of the lungs, which fills those pores and forms a lump, which hinders the exchange of gases and makes it difficult to breathe.

After pulmonary fibrosis, the lungs gradually harden, and eventually they cannot breathe and may die of suffocation.

However, generally speaking, patients with pulmonary fibrosis have a history of smoking, and may be in a dusty environment for a long time, such as those with pulmonary fibrosis, most of whom are coal miners.

But this little girl is obviously unlikely, and how can her lungs be fibrosis at such a young age?

"Doctor, what the hell is going on?" The girl's father was a little anxious, "It's not really pneumonia, is it?" ”

"It's much worse than pneumonia." An Zehan couldn't help but say.

"What?" The girl's father was shocked, and the girl was so frightened that she coughed again, her breathing was short, and her face turned red.

"Don't be afraid, take your time, come, take a deep breath......" Guo Xiang hurriedly instructed the girl, but she was still very uncomfortable and seemed to be out of breath.

Guo Xiang was a little distressed, and let go of his soft voice, "Don't worry, take your time......"

"Let's get hospitalized first!" Dr. Xiao said.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?" The girl's father was in a hurry.

"Your daughter's lungs are already fibrosis, it's very serious, if it doesn't ...... treated," Dr. Xiao said badly.

"What is fibrosis?" The girl's father didn't understand, and the girl also looked at Dr. Xiao.

Dr. Xiao didn't know how to explain, but when he saw a rubber band on the table, he said, "You see, human lungs are originally like this, elastic ......."

Dr. Xiao said as he tugged on the band, "But her lungs are now like hard bands, like branches, they can't contract, but they haven't been completely fibrous, otherwise they can't breathe." ”

"This, this ......," the girl's father was shocked, "then can my daughter be saved?" Can it be cured? ”

Dr. Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "We will try to make her feel better with medication and relieve her symptoms, but it is impossible to completely cure her, unless a lung transplant is performed." ”

Basically, this disease is not cured, and they all die from respiratory and circulatory disorders.

"What?" The girl's father's face turned pale, and the girl's breathing became even more rapid, and her lungs seemed to cough out.

"How so? Why do I get this disease? The girl shook her head fatherly, still in disbelief, thinking that pneumonia would delay the college entrance examination, but now he would rather be pneumonia, at least pneumonia can be cured.

But now this disease, the doctor's meaning is obviously that it can't be cured?

"We will do our best, there is medicine available, and we will try our best to prolong her life......" Dr. Xiao's voice became lower and lower, and he was also very helpless, the doctor is not a god, and not any disease can be cured.

"Then, Dad, we're dead." The girl's face was gray, and it was not good to spend so much money to cure it, so it was better not to be cured.

"But if you can live a few more years......" Guo Xiang couldn't help but say.

The girl smiled wryly, "In the end, you still have to die, don't you?" ”

"You can't think like that." An Zehan spoke, "We all want to die, we can't live well because we will die, you still have hope, maybe in a few years, the medical technology will be better, and you will be able to cure ......"

Guo Xiang didn't speak, this disease is very difficult even in the future life, some medicines may be more advanced, but they still can't cure the root cause, lung transplantation is the most effective, but how difficult it is, where to find a lung source?

"Daddy......" the girl cried.

"Treatment, no matter how much money you spend, I can't watch my daughter suffer......" The girl's father's eyes also turned red.

The girl couldn't stop crying, and the tears slipped into the scarf, wetting it.

Her father wiped her tears in distress, pulled down the scarf, and wiped his daughter's face with his big palm.

"Your face ......" Guo Xiang was surprised, the skin on the girl's face was cracked badly, piece by piece like an old lady.

"Take the gloves off and I'll take a look." Guo Xiang exclaimed.

The girl didn't know why, but she still took off her gloves, her hands were red and swollen, white and purple, and the thick cortical hair was dry and hard, and it was also cracked badly, like chilblains.

"This ......" Guo Xiang was shocked.
