As long as you live, no matter how taboo it is, death is an unavoidable topic.

For the criteria for death, medicine is judged on the basis of brain death.

But in Song Che's view, a person's true death begins with forgetting......

……

In Ward 503, there are a kind of specialists, including cardiothoracic surgery, brain surgery, general surgery, and neurosurgery.

There is even an "off-site guest" here, Xu Tianlu, the president of the First People's Hospital of Yunzhou.

Oh, by the way, and our master of Chinese medicine, Song Che.

The meeting between the father-in-law and the son-in-law on this occasion seemed rather strange.

The two glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and there was no communication.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Tianlu looked at Song Che's gaze with a sense of meaning, and there was a faint trace of resentment.

Wen Yaxian was happy to see the Chinese cabbage that had been raised for 30 years being arched, but seeing her little padded jacket being worn away by others, Dean Xu Tianlu only felt that this winter was really a little cold......

But he didn't rush to show his emotions, put these thoughts behind him, and turned his attention to Su Mingqiang, an amnesiac patient on the hospital bed.

"Auntie, let me introduce you, these are the expert directors of several departments in our hospital......" Zhai Lingxiao and the old woman introduced in turn: "Especially this Professor Xu Tianlu, he is the president of the First People's Hospital of Yunzhou City, and he is also a well-known leader in the field of divine surgery in Dongjiang Province. ”

Hearing this, the old woman thanked her politely.

However, the children who stood next to the old woman were not very friendly.

"Are you looking for so many experts to come here to make excuses for the failure of the operation to wipe your butt?"

"You just admit it, it's because you didn't do well in the operation that made my dad like this."

"We don't slander people, we just want to ask for an explanation, why my dad is so alone, and he came out of the operating room as if he was a different person."

“……”

The doctors are basically accustomed to the lines of questioning by the families of this conventional routine.

Zhai Lingxiao was about to play a round, but the old woman directly scolded the children back: "Shut up!" Wait for the doctors to read your dad in advance, I called you here to visit your dad, not to let you come here to make trouble! ”

The children just stopped.

It can be seen that the old woman is a very strong person who understands righteousness, and after reprimanding her children, she softened her tone and said: "Doctors, don't care, my children are too anxious to get angry, after all, the old man doesn't even know them now......"

Xu Tianlu frowned, walked to the hospital bed, and said to Su Mingqiang: "Old Mr. Su, you really don't know any of these people standing in front of you now?" ”

Su Mingqiang still had the stunned face of "who am I, where am I, what am I going to do", he glanced at his wife and children, and still shook his head in denial.

"How can I know these rude and vulgar people, my Su family is a scholarly family, and I disdain to deal with these people the most." Su Ming said with a strong sense of righteousness.

At this moment, those children were even more embarrassed and anxious: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, I am your son, we have been father and son for more than 40 years, you say you don't know each other, you don't know each other?!" ”

"I can barely understand that you don't know your eldest brother, after all, my eldest brother doesn't see each other a few times a year, but I go to accompany you and my mother every weekend, how can you say that you don't know your daughter?"

"Little sister, I don't like to listen to what you say, you don't know how busy your eldest brother is with work, every once in a while, you let him run to his parents all day long, because you want our family to drink the northwest wind."

"Sister-in-law, being busy is not a reason, the two of us are also busy, but we still try to squeeze in time to visit our parents, the key depends on whether we have that heart."

"Who doesn't know what kind of heart you press, it's just that the two of you want to go out to play on the weekend, so you send the child to your parents by the way."

"You ......"

"Enough!"

When the old woman saw that the children had started infighting again, she said angrily: "Whoever quarrels again, get out of here immediately, and don't come to my house in the future!" ”

Su Mingqiang also looked very disdainful: "Look, these people are selfish and self-interested, their faces are ugly, I, Su Mingqiang, have been righteous all my life, how can I be with these rats?" ”

Hearing this, the doctors were full of emotion.

When the elderly are sick, it is often a time to test family relationships.

Through the scene in front of them, the character of these family members is indeed not flattering.

The old woman was also ashamed, and continued to reprimand: "Don't say how your dad lost his memory, to be honest, I want to follow a piece of amnesia, how can you still look like children, a family, when your dad was sick, it was all for your own consideration, you disappointed me too much!" ”

After saying that, the old woman was already in tears.

These daughters-in-law and sons-in-law couldn't help but feel ashamed, and hurriedly apologized and comforted their mothers.

"The family style is not right, I really don't know how your parents raised you." Su Mingqiang also reprimanded.

Everyone was speechless, thinking that this was not all raised by yourself.

Zhai Lingxiao coughed dryly and said, "Why don't we discuss it first." ”

The directors of the experts began to express their opinions.

Xu Tianlu took a stack of inspection reports and looked at them a few times, then suddenly raised his hand and said, "Can you let me say a few words." ”

Although he is not the leader of this hospital, Xu Tianlu's status in the medical community of Dongjiang Province is still very high, and everyone is temporarily silenced.

Xu Tianlu looked at Su Mingqiang and muttered: "Based on my analysis, Mr. Su Mingqiang's situation may be pseudo-amnesia. ”

Everyone was taken aback.

The family members also exploded: "You mean, my dad is deliberately pretending to have amnesia?" ”

Xu Tianlu waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "When I say pseudoamnesia, I don't mean pretend to have amnesia, but a mental illness, also called pseudodementia." ”

"The cause of pseudodementia is usually temporary memory loss caused by too much stress, neurosyphilis or long-term vitamin B12 deficiency. If you don't distinguish between them, pseudodementia can easily be confused with Alzheimer's disease. ”

The old woman was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Wait, doctor, you said that the old man has temporary amnesia, does that mean that it can be cured?" ”

Xu Tianlu replied: "Generally speaking, as long as the cause can be found, with medication and psychological counseling, and the pressure is relieved and the tension is relieved, most of the symptoms can be improved. But ......"

A classic turning point, Xu Tianlu frowned slightly, "However, if patients with pseudodementia do not find out the cause in time and delay treatment, it is likely to cause chronic disability." ”

"What is this state of chronic disability?" The families were confused.

Xu Tianlu suddenly became more ambiguous, as if he was worried that telling the truth would irritate his family.

Song Che, the prospective son-in-law, consciously took on this errand: "The meaning can be understood as a state of slowly losing brain function." ”

"Loss of brain function...... Isn't that going to be demented?! Su Mingqiang's daughter-in-law exclaimed.

As soon as these words came out, the old woman lost her soul again.

"At present, Mr. Su Mingqiang has missed the best time for treatment, if you immediately take him to the hospital for diagnosis and intervention when you find that he is starting to forget, it is likely to be effective in delaying the decline of brain function." Song Che's words are naturally much sharper, "And now the patient's brain function is declining, and it is likely to be an irreversible state." In essence, this is not Alzheimer's disease, because the causes of the two are different, but in terms of the manifestation of the disease, the two are actually the result of different paths. ”

"As for heart bypass surgery, due to insufficient blood supply, the rate of decline of brain function has been accelerated a lot, which is equivalent to quantitative change causing qualitative change, resulting in large-scale memory loss. The only good news is that, as Professor Xu said, as long as the cause is identified and the patient's mood is improved, the rate of brain decline can still be slowed down. ”

The only good news did not make Su Mingqiang's family feel much comfort.

Because they all know that Su Mingqiang's brain function will still develop in a worse state.

"You are the Internet celebrity doctor, what is your name Song Che, right?" Su Mingqiang's daughter recognized this little white face, grabbed Song Che's arm as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said, "Doctor Song, I know that you have excellent medical skills, and it is said that you have cured many incurable diseases, as well as incurable diseases, you must have a way to cure my father, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, I also remembered, this Dr. Song is amazing, I have seen the news about him, it seems that if you prick the patient with some needle, the patient will be fine, otherwise Dr. Song, you can also prick my dad's brain with a few injections."

In the face of these compliments, Song Che lowered his face and said, "Nonsense! What do you think of medicine? Is it child's play? What did you think of your father again? Puppets? If you want to get it, you can get it? ”

Actually, Song Che still wants to say what do you think of me? Mama Yung? If you want to prick someone, just get a needle?

Then, Song Che looked at Su Mingqiang's chest again, and said: "And I suspect now that Su Mingqiang's heart disease is caused by long-term depression and bad mood, which is inseparable from his unsatisfactory life state, if you don't mind, I want to know about Mr. Su Mingqiang's living situation in order to find out the exact cause." ”

In the face of this question, the family members were all silent, and their faces showed more or less guilty looks.

Seeing this, the doctors basically understood that Su Mingqiang's heart attack was made popular by this family!

The most ironic thing is that after Su Mingqiang's pseudodementia broke out, he chose to forget these relatives who bothered him the most, which was not a "good disease" for his physical health!
