Chapter 111: Dreams in the Bright Lights

It didn't take too long to get back to the hospital, except for the slightly congested section of Jiefang West Road, there were very few vehicles on the other roads. Within eight minutes, Wang Ge took Lu Xiaole back to the emergency department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Yaxiang.

On this trip, the work of the king pigeon was over, and there was no death on the way, so he drove the ambulance back to the parking lot. But the work of the doctors and nurses has only just begun.

Because the symptoms were not obvious and the specific symptoms could not be judged in a short time, Liu Ya could only temporarily prescribe antipyretics, trying to stabilize Lu Xiaole's vital signs, and instructed the nurses to draw blood for blood tests. Bai Yamei, who came with the car, also helped to make a bill to pay, and wanted to call Lu Xiaole's family, but Lu Xiaole refused.

After all, nothing has been found at this stage, so there is no need to make the family nervous. If, after the examination, it is only found that it is a small inflammation somewhere, and the family members are alarmed, wouldn't it be an oolong?

The examination work was in full swing, and through the detailed analysis and examination of the blood, Liu Ya could get what he wanted to know most.

Wang Ge could see from Liu Ya's expression that Lu Xiaole's condition might be very serious, but in front of the patient, Liu Ya and Bai Nan didn't say anything, which made Wang Ge feel very strange.

When he returned to the team, he saw that there were still half of the people in the team, so he said to Sun Chengde, unwilling to continue to be stuffy in the room, so he came to the emergency hall with his big water cup and the car record book, and directly rubbed a seat on the side of the triage table, and wrote the car record at the triage desk.

There are also four nurses on duty at the triage desk during the day to provide guidance and assistance to patients and their families who come to the emergency department, and only two nurses on duty at night.

The appearance of the king pigeon did not occupy the nurse's seat, but the two little nurses welcomed a driver to come to chat with them to relieve their boredom.

But Wang Ge didn't have the heart to chat with them, in fact, he just didn't want to stay in the house, come out to relax, and also wanted to know what kind of illness Lu Xiaole had.

The record was filled in for half an hour, and the content had been completely completed, Wang Ge put down the pen and stood up and stretched, Bai Yamei had already completed the relevant procedures of the hospital, and continued to wait in the hall.

"Master, it's so hard to work the night shift. To be honest, Bai Yamei's opening sentence is indeed not very good. This girl is not pretty, but she is not ugly, she can only be said to be average. After such a long time, most of the wine I drank at the party was already awake, and I was a little tired from yawning.

Wang Ge smiled, "There are always people who have to work the night shift, but it's okay, it's on duty." It's done, people are in the hospital, they are conscious, you can go back. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

Bai Yamei frowned and shook her head, "I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I want to know what kind of illness this Teacher Lu has." I went to ask the doctors and nurses just now, but the results of the examination did not come out, and they refused to speak. You said that this teacher Lu is young, running around for the children of the school, if he has any serious illness, it will be bad. ”

Who's to say it isn't?

Wang Ge sighed, a good man doesn't live long, Wang Ge has seen too much, his third uncle is like this, this pain has not been completely healed until now. In this matter, there is no fairness or unfairness, the king pigeon is really like asking Xuzi, which grandson came up with a pat on the head and then filled in the book of life and death.

While the two of them were talking, Liu Ya walked out of the emergency doctor's duty office with three examination result receipts, stopped at the door for a while, and leaned against the wall.

Because Lu Xiaole was admitted to the hospital in an emergency department, and there was no reason for fainting and fever, all his examination procedures were set as the highest priority by Liu Ya, and the laboratory physician on duty reported the examination results as soon as possible.

Wang Ge and Bai Yamei glanced at each other, knowing Liu Ya's reaction, that is, the situation is not optimistic. They hurried over.

"What's the matter, rabbit?" asked the king pigeon.

"I don't know what to tell Lu Xiaole, you can see for yourself. Liu Ya handed the inspection results to Wang Ge.

Wang Ge took it and looked at it twice, he was dizzy when he saw the numbers on the slip and various academic words, "How can I understand this, you have something to say." ”

"Hemoglobin is one-half of normal, severe anemia. There is an excess of white blood cells, three times the normal amount, which is common in viral infections, and thrombocytopenia, which is only one-third of the normal person. The routine blood test does not represent anything, at most it means that Lu Xiaole's blood is not healthy and his body is inflammatory. However, his blood contains a large number of white blood cells similar to lymphoblasts, and according to chest and abdominal X-rays and CT examinations, the patient has a hepatosplenomegaly, accompanied by clinical manifestations of lymphadenopathy. ”

Bai Yamei didn't react yet, but Wang Ge's face had changed.

"You mean ......"

If he had put it in the past, he wouldn't have understood what the results of the tests meant. After working in the hospital's emergency department, he learned a lot about medicine through his post-work studies.

"I can't hide this, and I will definitely have a spinal tap to check the bone marrow. Although Lu Xiaole is not a doctor, he is an intellectual, and he knows what this examination means. Liu Ya said what he was worried about.

"Doctor, you should say it quickly, what is the disease?" Bai Yamei saw that Liu Ya's expression was gloomy, and Wang Ge's face also changed after listening to the results of the examination, and he suddenly realized that the matter was serious, and he was also anxious.

Although the result is unacceptable, it still has to be faced after all, Liu Ya is still a doctor in the end, and there are many uncomfortable situations like this, and his heart is already strong enough.

He always had all the professional ethics of a doctor.

"Judging from the early clinical manifestations and the examinations carried out at this stage, the preliminary diagnosis is acute lymphoblastic leukemia...... Liu Ya replied.

"What?" Bai Yamei's eyes turned red, and two lines of tears immediately flowed down. "Don't bring this, do you?" Bai Yamei, a twenty-four-year-old girl, had just been working for two years, and her conscience was still clear, and when she saw someone fainting on the road, she helped out, and she didn't go back to rest until midnight.

Even though the time was close to one o'clock in the morning, she was even more reluctant to leave here after hearing about Lu Xiaole's experience, at least waiting until Lu Xiaole's condition stabilized after treatment, but as soon as she heard the news, Bai Yamei was immediately stunned.

Why don't good people get repaid? Although she is not related to Lu Xiaole, Bai Yamei is still sad.

Maybe others won't understand, but only after experiencing such a thing firsthand, will they really feel it.

"Don't worry, you have to go through a spinal puncture examination to see if there is hematopoietic stem cell proliferation before you can really diagnose it, and it is not 100% sure that it is leukemia. Moreover, leukemia is not incurable and invincible. Liu Ya saw that the girl in front of him was crying, and hurriedly comforted.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Due to the uncontrolled growth of hepatocytes, impaired differentiation and hindered apoptosis, a large number of unhealthy immature white blood cells similar to lymphoblasts will be found in blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and human internal organs, and will inhibit hematopoietic function, and bone marrow failure will occur when malignant cells replace normal bone marrow components.

Due to the decrease in the number of normal cells, the hematopoietic function will be inhibited, and the patient's body function will decline rapidly, causing anemia, bleeding, abnormal internal organ function, internal organ failure, and so on.

The high incidence of lymphocytic leukemia is actually seven to eight years old, and the incidence of adult leukemia is only 20% of all types of leukemia, which is not high. The causes of the disease are also varied. Living in heavily polluted areas for a long time, exposure to nuclear radiation, or genetic factors has not yet been definitively determined.

In medicine, diseases whose cause is not clear are often difficult to treat, and the same is true for leukemia. Just because it's hard to treat doesn't mean it's bad.

In many films, television works and literary works, leukemia is usually listed as a terminal disease among the terminal diseases, but in fact, the risk of leukemia is not as great as that of malignant brain tumors.

People are afraid of leukemia, not because of its fatality rate, but because of the difficulty of treatment.

Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, blood product injections and spinal chemotherapy are used by modern medical methods to ensure the quality of life of patients, with a survival rate of up to 70% within five years.

After the condition is stabilized, hematopoietic stem cell matching and transplantation can be performed as soon as possible, and even leukemia can be completely cured. With lifelong medication control, leukemia is not incurable.

But Liu Ya and Wang Ge were not happy. At present, the Chinese hematopoietic stem cell database is not perfect, and it is difficult to find a match, and even if it is found, it is still necessary to say hello if people are willing to donate.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaole is not a rare blood type, otherwise it would be very troublesome to match, at least there is no hope.

What worries them really is the cost of treatment.

According to Lu Xiaole, he is a volunteer teacher, he has no money, and his family is not a wealthy family, and the treatment fee for chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the early stage, plus the cost of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the later stage, adds up to five or six hundred thousand yuan, which is still less.

For an ordinary family, it is not bad to get together 100,000 yuan, but 500,000 or 600,000 is an astronomical amount for them. Although there is a national medical insurance, the maximum amount of serious illness insurance is only 200,000, and the rest is short, and Wang Ge doesn't know how the poor family can make up this money.

"I'll go tell him to continue the treatment. The finance side urged me to ask Lu Xiaole to pay the money. Liu Ya straightened up, "He should be able to survive." ”

"I'll go with you. Bai Yamei can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, she paid the first aid expenses in advance for the preliminary examination, Lu Xiaole was penniless, and she kept promising to repay her in the emergency room just now.

The king pigeon also followed, came to the door of the first emergency room, and leaned against the door.

Liu Ya pushed a pair of glasses, dragged a chair to the bedside, handed the examination slip to Lu Xiaole, who was half-sitting on the hospital bed and was slightly weak, and explained to him softly the follow-up examinations and the symptoms that might be diagnosed.

Lu Xiaole glanced at the diagnosis of the examination results, put it down, lost his eyes, and looked straight ahead blankly, his right nostril was red, and blood flowed down his lips, dripping on the diagnosis book.

"We'll get you checked right away...... If the diagnosis is confirmed, treat it as soon as possible. If you rule out ......" Liu Ya did not continue. He had never seen a case where the clinical symptoms were so obvious, but the spinal tap proved to be misdiagnosed.

Bai Nan hurriedly came over with alcohol and cotton swabs, cleaned Lu Xiaole's nasal passages, and pressed in his nostrils with his front to stop the bleeding.

"After I am cured, can I still teach?" Lu Xiaole nodded and thanked Bai Nan, took the cotton swab and pressed it himself, not wanting to trouble the nurse again.

"Of course you can, you have to have faith. Liu Yaqiang said with a smile.

Bai Yamei hid to the side and wiped her tears. "Teacher Lu, it's okay, I just left a message to the leader, I asked for leave, I can take care of you tomorrow first, and take you to check or something. It can also help you connect with your family and school......"

Lu Xiaole also smiled and nodded, he did not refuse. After all, it will take a certain amount of time for the family and school people to arrive here, and they will only trouble the doctors and nurses here, although Bai Yamei met in Pingshui, but now she feels like her best friend.

But Lu Xiaole was still embarrassed to trouble her. "When I'm well, please eat, don't dislike it. ”

"When you get better, I'll invite you to dinner!" Bai Yamei saw that Lu Xiaole was still optimistic and did not give up on himself, and it seemed that his self-regulation ability was still good.

She was most afraid that Lu Xiaole would be depressed and slump after learning the news. Since he can go to the countryside to teach, it means that this young man is kind-hearted, mature and generous, and has dreams in his heart, his heart is full of passion, and he is not willing to give up easily.

Giving up is not Lu Xiaole's character.

It's just that in this bustling city, Lu Xiaole's great and slightly simple dream doesn't know if it can be realized.

Wang Ge sighed deeply, turned around and prepared to go to the triage desk, get back his departure record book, and return to the office to continue standby.

After all, tonight's night shift has just begun.

As soon as he stepped out of the emergency department's door, the cell phone in his pocket that had been adjusted to vibrate began to buzz.

In addition to his parents, Tao Mi, as well as Shen Hui and his colleagues in the team, a few friends who drank and meat in high school, almost no one called him, and his social circle was very small.

It was close to one o'clock in the morning, and the parents had already rested. If he is in the hospital, if Shen Hui or other colleagues are looking for him, he can just come to find him directly, and he doesn't need to call.

Wang Ge took out his mobile phone a little strangely, and the name of the phone number on the screen was Zhu Letian.

He picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"It's the king pigeon. Do you remember me, we took a girl to the hospital together on the bus? The voice on the other end of the phone was indeed Zhu Letian's voice, but it was a little more trembling.

"I am, that's it......" asked the pigeon.

"If it's a brother, do me a favor. Zhu Letian's tone seemed to be impossible to refuse.
