Zuo Li didn't react, still opened the white coat with both hands and put it in the pocket of his fancy jacket.

In fact, this is not that he deliberately pretended, but that there are two soft handkerchiefs in his jacket that have been dyed with Chinese medicine, which can continue to take care of his hands. Therefore, he did not put his hand in the pocket of his white coat like Chen Tianming.

However, this posture makes him look a bit ruffian, like the fat brother in "The True Color of Heroes". This made Chen Tianming frown slightly, although she had studied in the UK for many years and had seen a lot of hippies, she was still not used to the appearance of her colleagues around her.

She took a breath, calmed herself, and said to Chang Jianguo in a flat tone: "In addition to the two cancer patients in the previous consultation auxiliary materials of your TCM department, there is also a new lung cancer bone metastasis patient who also hopes to be treated with TCM adjuvant treatment. The patient was an old lady surnamed Gao, 73 years old this year, because of her old age and poor physical condition, she could not tolerate the operation, and only underwent chemotherapy for a period of time. However, the examination found that the tumor was still developing. ”

"The most troublesome thing is that the patient's kidney function is very bad, left renal pelvis and hydroureter. After chemotherapy, my health got worse and worse. The patient was very pessimistic and proposed several times to go home and take Chinese medicine and wait for death, but the family did not agree. Since the patient has the requirement to see a Chinese medicine doctor, you will also have a consultation to see if you can prescribe some medicine and comfort her, her lung cancer has metastasized to the bone, and it will not take long to delay, so let the family ask for peace of mind. ”

Chang Jianguo nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, let's take a good look." ”

Zuo Li really wants to say that traditional Chinese medicine is not a placebo, but in some special cases, such as in the face of a terminal illness that cannot be treated by existing medical technology, not only traditional Chinese medicine, but also any drug can only be a placebo.

Chen Tianming called the doctor in charge of the bed, named Qi Miao, and went out of the doctor's office to the ward together.

They first came to the ward of Mrs. Gao, who was suffering from lung cancer at that time, as Chen Tianming said just now.

There were six patients in this ward, lined up, and the beds were almost next to each other, and it was crowded. There are still people lying down and sleeping on the ground, and they should have stayed up late the night before to guard the patient and replace the one who had just slept. There are patients who are crying loudly in agony**, and it does not affect the people on the ground who are snoring and sleeping.

There is no way, the hospitals that are slightly better now are overcrowded, and the tertiary hospitals are even more so, basically the beds in each department are full, and even extra beds are needed in corridors and other places. In this way, many patients have to wait in line and cannot be accommodated. Some of them were slightly stable, so they rushed to be discharged from the hospital and returned to the community hospital for infusion treatment.

There are several kinds of wards in the city's three hospitals, this kind of six-person room is the cheapest, it seems that the conditions of this old lady Gao are not very good, and she can't afford to live in a ward with better conditions.

Then again, the treatment of cancer is simply a money shredder, hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent casually, not only all the savings, most families also owe a lot of debt, to be honest, not many people can afford it, can only save a little in the conditions of the ward.

Zuo Li looked at the patient, this tall old lady was thin, with a sickly face, her eyes were half-closed and half-open, looking at the ceiling, her eye sockets were deep-set, and her shriveled lips were slightly open. When the doctors walked in, she didn't even roll her eyes.

Next to the bed, her daughter, who looked like she was forty years old, fell asleep on the edge of the bed. It seems that the night before the vigil was all night, and the dawn was really unbearable, and there were other people in the same room to help watch, so I fell asleep on the side of the bed.

The nurse hurriedly went up and gently nudged the middle-aged woman, and she woke up. Seeing the doctors standing beside the bed, he quickly rubbed his eyes, stood up with a smile, and greeted, "Director Chen, you are here!" ”

Chen Tianming had a cold nose and a cold face at Zuo Li, but he smiled at the patient and asked, "How is your mother?" ”

"I don't have energy, I don't eat, and I say it hurts."

Speaking of this, the woman leaned down, gently pushed the old lady's shoulder, leaned into her ear and said, "Mom, Director Chen, they are here to check the ward, tell the doctor if you feel unwell." ”

Mrs. Gao sighed, rolled her eyes twice, and slowly turned her head to look at Chen Tianming.

She opened her lips a few times and made a few dry sounds, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.

The woman leaned into her ear to listen, and she said it again, and then the woman said to Chen Tianming: "My mother said that she had low back pain, she couldn't cough it out, she was very uncomfortable, and she said that she didn't want to be treated." - But, Mom, what can we do if we don't treat it? Don't worry, we've borrowed money and we'll be able to cure you! ”

Mrs. Gao said a few words in a hoarse voice, this time the voice was louder, but she could hear it clearly, and said intermittently: "If I don't cure ......, I know ...... my illness, and if I can't cure it, I spend ...... money in vain, send me home, and live to be more than seventy years old It's enough for ......, and I can't spend money anymore." The family has spent hundreds of thousands, the grandchildren still have to go to school, you still have to live, all of them have spent ...... on my treatment, what will you do in the future......? I won't be blind to death...... Send me back, obedient ......, find a Chinese medicine doctor...... Prescribe some medicine to eat, and don't be too painful when you die......"

Chen Tianming hurriedly bent down and said to Mrs. Gao: "Old man, don't worry, your illness can be cured." If you want to take Chinese medicine, we have a Chinese medicine department in our hospital, and I invited the director of our Chinese medicine department and the doctor to come and consult you, and use Chinese medicine to recuperate, and you will feel better. ”

As soon as Mrs. Gao heard the words Chinese medicine, her eyes immediately became flexible. even raised her head slightly, and soon her eyes fell on Chang Jianguo's face, and said: "Chinese medicine is good, just prescribe Chinese medicine to me...... don't have chemotherapy, it's too uncomfortable...... just take Chinese medicine, go home ......, take Chinese medicine ......, I have already said that Western medicine is useless, Chinese medicine works, you have to listen, don't let me take Chinese medicine......"

Chen Tianming was a little embarrassed, and said to his face that Western medicine is not good and he wants to take Chinese medicine, which is not a slap in the face.

However, it is still relatively common for cancer patients to turn to Chinese medicine for help. Most of the reasons are because cancer is too expensive, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are too expensive, and a treatment can easily cost tens of thousands, which is a nightmare for ordinary families, and they can't afford it at all, so they hope to turn to Chinese medicine for help. After all, Chinese medicine is very cheap and affordable.

Of course, in Chen Tianming's view, the main reason is superstitious belief in the magical power of traditional Chinese medicine, which is simply a joke.

So every time she encounters this situation, she is silent and lets the patient choose. After all, the premise of the hospital is that the patient is voluntary, and the patient is unwilling to accept treatment, and the hospital cannot forcibly treat the patient.
