Chapter 3 Death Asks for Money
Li Yan, who has received a materialist education since childhood, is full of entanglement.
Is the old man really the lord of the land? Or is it because of his brain tumor, which leads to schizophrenia, then everything is just a fantasy in his head?
The point is, I'm going to the hospital right away, will I do tomorrow's surgery?
Going to the operating table means gambling that you will survive.
Canceling the operation also means betting, betting that you are not schizophrenic, and that you really have a land on your back......
If you have surgery, there is a high chance that you will die tomorrow.
If the surgery is canceled, even if everything you just imagined is your own, then you will be able to live for at least a month......
So, which side are you betting on?
"Li Yan, you're back."
As soon as I got off the elevator in the inpatient building, the head nurse immediately greeted me and greeted her very affectionately.
Li Yan is a little strange, her attitude is not normal......
"Well, if someone is looking for you, you can go and see you in the doctor's office." The head nurse affectionately tugged at Li Yan's arm, looking like you can't go if you don't go.
Li Yan can only follow, who let this be someone else's territory.
Most of the doctors in the evening are off work, leaving only two young doctors, a man and a woman, on night duty, and two male family members sitting in the corner.
Seeing the head nurse come in with Li Yan, the two doctors stood up and walked towards the door. One of the female doctors walked up to Li Yan, stopped and stared at his cheek, and frowned, "What's wrong with your chin?" ”
"Oh, when I shaved my head and beard, I accidentally cut my ......," Li Yan said, but he panicked in his heart.
The female doctor Liu Xiaoya is Li Yi's high school classmate, but she is just a classmate, and she can't speak three sentences in a semester. Who makes parents beautiful and good at studying, but although Li Yi is not a scumbag, he is the kind of person who doesn't work hard and can't play with good students. After graduation, she has never been in contact for so many years, but who knew that she would become her own attending doctor.
However, she is just a young new doctor, Li Yan can't do this kind of surgery, fortunately, Professor Cao, an expert in surgery, is her teacher, and she repeatedly helped Li Yan fight for it, and Professor Cao finally agreed to squeeze out extremely tight time and take the risk of giving Li Yan this operation with a low success rate.
Li Yan is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and he is naturally grateful to Liu Xiaoya in his heart, and the most tangled thing now is how to explain it to her if he decides not to have surgery?
She said that although this operation is very risky, Professor Cao is the top brain surgeon in the country, and the success rate of others may only be 30%, but he will be more sure.
She said: "As long as there is hope, no one should give up, and it is better to live than anything else......
I'm just afraid I'm going to disappoint her......
In fact, Li Yan's entanglement has a faint answer, instead of betting on whether he can get off the operating table tomorrow, it is better to bet that he is not schizophrenic, even if the bet is wrong, at least he can live for another month.
And if he is really not sick, if the old man is really the lord of the land, then wouldn't he really find a way to live......
The head nurse gently pushed Liu Xiaoya, and Dr. Liu opened his mouth, forced a smile and said again: "The bald head is also very good-looking." ”
Liu Xiaoya turned her eyes without knowing whether it was compassion or reluctance, and went out from Li Yan's side.
"This chick is interesting to you......" the old man's lewd voice sounded.
"Shut up!" Li Yan shouted in his heart - if you see through it, you can't tell it, let alone that you are a dying person, how can you provoke others?
After scolding Li Yan, he felt a lot more relieved inexplicably - he spoke again, it seems that he is not schizophrenic?
The door of the office closed behind Li Yan, but even the head nurse went out.
Li Yan's gaze looked at the other two people in the office.
Two men, one in his fifties with a shrewd face, the other in his early twenties with a rebellious face.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang." The old fellow stood up and spoke, speaking in a rather particular manner.
"I don't know you." Li Yan frowned slightly.
"Hehe, introduce yourself, my surname is Zhao, you can call me Lao Zhao." The old guy smiled all over his face, "It's the first time we've met, so we're a little presumptuous." Mr. Li, please take a seat, let's sit down and talk. ”
Li Yan paused slightly, and sat down, but it was Liu Xiaoya's desk.
"What's the matter with me, let's be honest, I don't have much time." Li Yan said.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang said with a smile." Lao Zhao smiled dryly, "That's the case, I want to beg Mr. Li to give up tomorrow's operation." ”
Li Yan frowned, the decision not to have surgery tomorrow had just been finalized in his heart, how could he know?
No, he wanted to "beg" himself not to have surgery tomorrow! The reason?
"Why?" Li Yan asked.
"You also know that Professor Cao's schedule is very tight, and the surgery appointment has been scheduled for at least two months away, and our patients can't wait that long, so unless someone is willing to give up the operation halfway......" Lao Zhao stared at Li Yan's eyes and said, "Of course, we won't let you give up in vain, what compensation do you want, just ask!" ”
Li Yan twisted his eyebrows, stared, and stared at Lao Zhao fiercely.
What is the requirement? It's my own life!
Normally, there are only a few top experts in the country who can do this kind of surgery like Li Yan, and who doesn't have a full schedule of such top experts? If you want to squeeze out a spot, it's almost impossible!
Who would want to give up the chance to have surgery? If you give up tomorrow's arrangement, you won't want to be in line again in a short time, which is almost equivalent to giving up the chance to live!
"Isn't that a bit too much for you?" Li Yan said coldly.
Although Li Yan has decided to give up the operation, who asked him to make this request too much? What's more, he said that he casually put forward conditions, so Li Yan didn't mind performing it.
"Mr. Zhang, I have read your medical records and asked other experts to argue that your brain tumor may not be that serious." Lao Zhao said, "At least it's not developing so fast, which means that even if you give up tomorrow's surgery, we will rearrange for you to have Professor Cao do your surgery in the next two months, and you don't have any risk at all." ”
"Do you think I'll believe that?" Li Yan scoffed.
Since his diagnosis, Li Yan has spent half a month going to big hospitals in big cities such as Beijing and Jinhai, and has been diagnosed by several experts, and almost everyone said that at this rate of development, even if the brain tumor is benign, he will not live for three months. "You can believe it or not, but if you believe it or not, you can listen to what I say next." Lao Zhao said unhurriedly, "According to what we have learned, your parents died in an accident when you were a child, you grew up with your grandparents, and the two old people have also passed away, and you have no girlfriend, so you are alone in this world......
Li Yan frowned again, no one wanted to hear others comment like this.
"In addition, you didn't graduate from high school, you can't find a good job without a degree, you change a lot of jobs are mixed at the bottom, and now you work in a security company in the city, although you become a supervisor, but the salary plus bonus is only a little more than 4,000, and you can have 50,000 a year? But in order to treat the disease, I have already left my job......" Lao Zhao said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, you have a property in your hometown, but you seem to have sold it for treatment, is that hundreds of thousands enough to pay for the operation?" ”
Li Yan gritted his teeth, and was already on the verge of going berserk.
"I'm not saying this to disparage you or anything like that, I'm just going to give you a choice." Lao Zhao was still smiling, "One million, with your condition, you may not be able to make so much money in your life." You just need to postpone the surgery a little bit......"
"What if I don't say yes!" Li Yan gritted his teeth and said.
"Toast and don't eat and drink!" The young man immediately shouted, "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu made it impossible for you to live tomorrow morning!" ”
"Alas, Xiaowei, don't be impulsive, we have to talk about the law." Lao Zhao stopped him, and smiled at Li Yan again, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, it's a big deal for us to ask someone else, I think there will always be someone who is willing to postpone the operation a little." ”
Li Yan hung his head slightly, raised his scalp and looked at Lao Zhao again, and suddenly smiled: "I guess it's not that simple, right?" Your patient should be in a serious condition and must have surgery as soon as possible, which is why you are willing to wait here for me at night. In addition, my operation is more troublesome, and the operation time is also very long, if you change to someone else, even if you agree, but the time is not enough for your people to complete the operation, Professor Cao will definitely not agree......"
"You guessed right." Lao Zhao's smile was a little reluctant.
"I don't understand a little, you should be rich and powerful people, even if you want to squeeze out my surgical arrangement, just let the hospital handle it, you don't need me to agree, right?" Li Yan asked.
"Professor Cao is very principled, he said that the surgery has been prepared, and it is impossible to change the plan, unless you decide not to do it." Lao Zhao sighed.
"Hehe, that means that as long as I don't agree, your patient will be hopeless." Li Yan finally laughed.
"What kind of bullshit are you talking about...... the young man shouted again.
"Xiaowei, shut up!" Lao Zhao shouted.
The young man glared at Li Yan again and stepped aside angrily.
"You're a smart guy." Lao Zhao regained his composure and said to Li Yan.
"Thanks for the compliment." Li Yan said with a smile.
"Then you can tell me your choice." Lao Zhao said.
"My life is not worth anything." Li Yan smiled, "But the life of your patient is more than one million, right?" ”
"The price is negotiable." Lao Zhao smiled.
"If I don't have surgery tomorrow, I probably won't have the chance to have surgery again, and I'll only have another month to live." Li Yan said, "Maybe I should enjoy life and do something meaningful." ”
"Totally agree." Lao Zhao nodded.
"Well, I want to travel and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland." Li Yan said, "You also know that this kind of thing is comfortable to play with money, and one million is a little less, I'm afraid it won't be enough for me to spend a month." ”
"Two million, it can be hit to your account in half an hour." Lao Zhao said again.
"Also, people can't always think about themselves, they have to think about other people's ......," Li Yan said, "When I was hospitalized here, I saw a lot of patients who had no money for treatment, I thought I could help them?" ”
"Well, we can set up a brain surgery medical aid fund in your own name, right here, in ...... amount Million! Lao Zhao said with a smile, "Two conditions, fame and fortune are there......"
Li Yan laughed again, but this time it was from the heart, and even the wound on his chin was pulled and hurt......
Lao Zhao left and took the young man out of the door, and the head nurse chased after them.
"I don't see it, you're pretty dark, but I like ......" The old man laughed badly.
"This kind of person is not slaughtered for nothing." Li Yan said lightly in his heart.
"You didn't promise them, did you?" Liu Xiaoya pushed the door in and immediately asked.
"Promised." Li Yan said this, but he was inexplicably relieved - he was worried about how to explain it to her, and he just pushed it to others.
"What?" Liu Xiaoya couldn't believe it, and shouted loudly, "Do you know that you can't live without surgery!" ”
"Yes." Li Yan is weak again, she really cares about herself, she gives up by herself, I'm really sorry for her......
"How much did they give you? Do you have the money to take and the life to spend? Liu Xiaoya shouted excitedly.
Li Yan was silent - spending two million a month is really a bit challenging......
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so excited...... Liu Xiaoya restrained her emotions, a little indifferent, maybe disappointed, and said, "Your life is your own, and you can only make your own decisions, I shouldn't say so much......"
"No......" Li Yan also took a deep breath, paused, stared at Liu Xiaoya's eyes and said seriously, "Do you trust intuition?" ”
"What do you mean?" Liu Xiaoya said.
"Intuitions, or hunches or something?" Li Yan said, "I have a hunch that if I have surgery, I will definitely die on the operating table, so it is better to live a good life for another month......
Liu Xiaoya was suddenly deflated and felt weak.
She is a doctor, accustomed to life and death, and does not want to substitute feelings anymore, which is not indifference, not strong, but a kind of protection for herself.
But at this moment, the estrangement in her heart seemed to have been suddenly dissected by the dying person in front of her......
"Boy, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and hug her......" The old man shouted in Li Yan's ear again.
"Shut up!" Li Yan shouted angrily in his heart, pitiful for the little emotions that had just been brewed, and they dissipated in an instant......
