Seeing Zhao Guang's hurried appearance, Dai Yunyang walked up to relieve him, "Which bed?" I'll take a look. ”

"16 beds. - You're also a doctor? The patient's family looked at Dai Yunyang, who was dressed in civilian clothes, suspiciously.

Dai Yunyang nodded, Zhao Guang saw Dai Yunyang coming, he was a little weak-hearted, and was about to stand up and explain, but Dai Yunyang raised his hand and pressed down, signaling him to continue to help the patient stitch, and then followed his family to the observation room.

As soon as Dai Yunyang arrived at the observation room, nurse Xiao Juan pushed the cart in, she obviously heard the sound of the family asking to change the bottle, but she was too busy to answer, so she had to come over at the moment and change the infusion bottle quickly. The patient's family was a little embarrassed, Dai Yunyang smiled, asked the patient a few words by the way, and did a simple physical examination before coming out.

When Dai Yunyang changed his clothes and came outside, Zhao Guang had just finished solving the patient, and apologized to Dai Yunyang embarrassedly: "Teacher, I was wrong. ”

"You're not wrong, it's really not your job to change the patient's dressing, and you still have the patient on your hands." Dai Yunyang didn't criticize him too harshly, "It's just that next time the attitude is better, the family is also anxious, and they have something to say." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Guang responded, but was obviously relieved.

Dai Yunyang's overtime did not cause a splash in the emergency room, and this kind of voluntary overtime is common in emergency centers, especially when the work is very busy. - As we approach the end of the year, the emergency department is noticeably busier than before.

The daughter of esophageal cancer patient Hua Guizhi, the female worker, came to Dai Yunyang's office.

Dai Yunyang hurriedly beckoned her to sit down and asked, "How did you think about it?" ”

The female worker lowered her head and said sadly: "My mother said that she is dead and wants to go home." ”

Due to the family's financial situation, Dai Yunyang had expected such a result, but he was still stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you told your mother about your true condition?" ”

"Well, my mother said, no matter what the disease is, she must know that if it is another disease that can be saved, it can be treated, but if it can't be saved or there is no hope for the disease, it will not be treated, and she can't spend money because of the disease that can't be cured, and then her grandson won't have the money to go to college, then she won't die blindly. I agreed. My mother is very strong, and after reading the inspection report, she said that she would go home, die at home, and no longer spend a penny, and she would not apply for help, and it would be useless anyway, and it would be left to others who could use it. ”

Dai Yunyang was moved by the kindness of the old lady, and knew that what the other party said was the truth, which was actually the best choice, and nodded: "I have to report this matter to the director, if he agrees, you can be discharged." ”

The female worker agreed and walked back to the ward in silence.

After listening to Dai Yunyang's report, Wu Hao said, "You go and call the patient's daughter, and I'll talk to her." ”

Dai Yunyang quickly called the female worker to Wu Hao's office. Wu Hao said: "Of course, it's okay for you to give up treatment and go home, but there is one thing I need to remind you - this reminder may make you uncomfortable, but it is a fact, if you are willing to listen." ”

The female worker looked at Wu Hao with a pale face, and finally nodded.

Wu Hao said slowly: "Your mother's pulmonary embolism has been dissolved by our medication, unless there is a pulmonary embolism again." Normally, she would eventually die of asphyxiation, not esophageal cancer, and she may not wait for the moment when the cancer will finally take her life, because before that, she will be suffocated by the rapidly growing esophageal tumor gradually blocking her trachea, and then slowly die without any choice. ”

"Before she died, she had to go through a lot of pain, such as hunger and thirst, because when the tumor got bigger and bigger, it would bypass the trachea and press back on the esophagus, he would not be able to eat, he could not even swallow water, and he could only rely on nutrient infusions to sustain his life, and if she refused all treatment at home, including nutrient infusions, she would slowly die of thirst and starvation."

In addition, she would choke violently, which was painful. Because the tumor was pressing on her esophagus and completely blocked, her saliva had to be swallowed and had to be spit out constantly, otherwise it would flow into her trachea and cause a choking cough, even with the most effective cough suppressants. This kind of choking is very uncomfortable, and you should know if you have experienced saliva flowing into your trachea. ”

"She just fell asleep, because once she lay down, the suffocation will be more intense, she can only sit upright and breathe, and it will be slightly smoother, and sitting and sleeping will not last long, and she will soon wake up with a choking cough due to saliva flowing into the trachea, even if she is very sleepy and wants to sleep very much, but she will not be able to fall asleep because of choking, and the lack of sleep for a long time in a row, the person's spirit will be in a trance, extremely irritable, but there is nothing she can do."

"The most terrible thing is the pain of cancer, the severe pain cannot be controlled even if you use the maximum dose of morphine, you know, the pain rating of advanced cancer belongs to the highest level of ten, that is, the most intense pain you can imagine is the ...... your mother will experience"

"Don't say it, please......" The female worker covered her face in pain, and suddenly looked up at Wu Hao again, "Is there any way to make her less painful?" Doctor. ”

Wu Hao nodded: "Yes, the oncology department of our hospital has a special dividend therapy ward, which is responsible for the special medical team, they can let your mother get the necessary maintenance treatment and complete the road of life with dignity, dividend therapy is not euthanasia, our country does not allow euthanasia, dividend therapy is not equivalent to hospice care, of course, it includes hospice care." It can not only allow patients to alleviate all kinds of pain caused by advanced cancer, but also help to soothe their thoughts and emotions, so that patients will not be depressed, anxious, self-blame, worried, etc., and can feel calm and even happy psychologically. ”

The female worker was moved by this, and asked, "It must be expensive, right?" We don't have any money......"

"I know that we can help you apply for medical assistance in our hospital, although it is only 30,000 yuan, but it can be used for dividend therapy, so that she can spend the rest of her days relatively peacefully, provided that she stays in the hospital, because only a dedicated dividend therapy team can best complete this special treatment, relieve her pain of suffocation and the severe pain of terminal cancer, and let her leave with dignity."

The female worker understood: "However, we still owe a lot of money to the hospital." Don't you need to pay off the 30,000 yuan? ”

"This is emergency money, and it can't be used to repay debts, it's a rule."

Dai Yunyang also understood Wu Hao's intentions, and persuaded the female worker and said: "You should understand what Director Wu meant, which is to help you apply for the 30,000 yuan of medical assistance to help your mother calmly complete the remaining part of her life." Otherwise, it will be very painful for her to die at home, and your family will be tormented to see this pain. Let's let the old man get a good death. ”
