Chapter 6: Bad News

Because I slept too late last night, I got up late this morning, and when Bai Ling picked up her rice bowl, it was already past eight o'clock. Before I could eat a bite of the meal, I received a message from someone: my husband Fang Ming was admitted to the Municipal People's Hospital due to cancer......

This news was like five thunderbolts, making Bai Ling stand unsteadily, and she was shocked into a cold sweat. In Bai Ling's mind, her husband Fang Ming will always be in good health. Although it is not an iron King Kong, it can be regarded as an indestructible robot. After so many years of marriage, Fang Ming has never said that he is sick, and he has never heard him say that he is not feeling well. Why is it cancer all of a sudden?

Bai Ling forgot everything, so she hurriedly took a ride to the People's Hospital. The pedestrians, vehicles, and red lights on the road seem to be deliberately messing with Bai Ling today. It's either blocked here or stopped there. At an intersection, I waited for a red light twice. For the first time, Bai Ling felt that in this so-called city, which was once called "one street and one building, one policeman looks at two ends", there are so many cars today, and the traffic is also so congested, which makes her anxious.

The wheels couldn't run away, but Bai Ling's heart was flying. If it's really cancer, my husband doesn't know how much pain it is? Maybe it's sweating, maybe it's moaning, maybe it's sometimes clear, sometimes it's confused, and the consciousness is out of control...... She was speculating. She had heard more than once how people described cancer patients, and each description made her heart tremble. However, she never imagined that this terrible illness would come to her small family. settled down on the body of her close lover, stirred up trouble, and did evil.

In China's hospitals, there is never a shortage of patients and patients, and it is an indisputable fact that there are many Chinese. Even though it's in the hospital, you see more healthy people. A person is sick and hospitalized, and a family is involved. Behind a patient, there are a group of family members, relatives, friends, and colleagues standing every day. The sick are in pain, and others are frightened and restless, so people often say that there is nothing that cannot be sick. In addition to the heavy financial burden, the mental pressure is also unbearable. Although everyone understands that the hospital and the angel in white rely on the cure and save lives. But whose heart can let go of sick relatives and friends?

Every day, before the time to visit the patient, the outside of the hospital is full of people waiting to visit the patient, they are staring at the clock, saving time for the elderly to forget to perform their duties. When it was time to visit the patients, the wards were full of healthy people inside and out, and the angels in white were hidden in the crowd of visitors.

Her husband Fang Ming was hospitalized. He had no relatives with him. Because he has no old people, no children, and because it is a single transmission, he does not even have a brother or sister. Bai Ling, as his wife, also just got the news. This is probably a rare case of rare, a case of individual cases.

Bai Ling hurriedly pushed away Fang Ming's ward according to the address provided by the informant. It was a small ward with only three beds in it, and the three beds in front of me were all empty, and there was no patient number in sight. There is no trace of an inpatient number either, only a young nurse making the bed. She put away the old ones from each bed, apparently to wash them, and put them on with new ones, waiting for the new ones to be used.

"May I ask Miss Nurse, where is the sick number Fang Ming?" Bai Ling asked politely and softly.

"Who are you?" The nurse didn't lift her eyelids, and her hands were still busy recording her work. She instinctively opened her mouth and asked.

"I'm his lover." Bai Ling replied softly, her voice trembling a little.

When the nurse heard this, her hands holding the white sheets stopped in mid-air, and her eyes widened in surprise. It seems that he didn't hear Bai Ling's answer clearly, as if he didn't believe Bai Ling's words. She stared at Bai Ling and asked, "What?" Are you his lover? ”

Bai Ling nodded.

The nurse saw the toes from the top of her head, and from the toes to the top of her head, she looked at Bai Ling repeatedly, then lowered her head and whispered, "Fang Ming has been sent to the morgue." ”

This sentence is very, very light, and it can stay in the air for half a day without landing. Although these angels in white are accustomed to seeing the deceased who say goodbye to life. But they are still full of compassion for every life that has gone through the journey of life.

When Bai Ling heard this, it was as if she had been hit fatally, and she suddenly felt her legs weak, her limbs weak, and trembling all over. She hurriedly grabbed the handrail of the door with her hand and gritted her teeth so that she did not let herself fall......

I heard the nurse whisper, "Let's go find the attending physician." What words may have been left for you by the patient. ”

Not far from the ward is the infirmary. Although only a few meters away. Bai Ling felt that her legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the few steps in front of her seemed like a long journey.

In the infirmary, a middle-aged attending physician is speaking to his subordinates, a group of medical workers. He was tall, with short hair, piercing eyes, and a straight waist. From time to time, he waved his hands and sighed with emotion, indignant for the deceased.

"The multi-talented cancer patient we just sent away collapsed headlong into his job. He knew that he had an incurable disease, but he did not bow to the disease, did not take half a step back, and still insisted on working. His dedication to his work, his mastery of his skills, and his high standards of self-demand have been working until the last second of his life. This kind of fighting spirit is worth emulating and learning from all of us.

He suddenly changed the subject: "The indifference and ignorance of this patient's family also make me indignant. In today's economic society, it is not possible to do without "money". However, as a human being, if we only focus on "money" and regard "money" as more important than anything else, we will lose our conscience and human nature.

After a slight pause, he continued, "We should remember that life is above all else. We, the medical workers, are doing whatever it takes to save lives, and the costs and results are unimaginable. It's really not worth the cost. There's no way around it.

We should propagate to every citizen that "prevention" is greater than "cure," and that the cost of "cure" is ten times that of "prevention." When the awareness of civil defense is raised, the physical fitness will be enhanced, the number of patients will be relatively reduced, and the pressure on hospitals will be reduced. The economic expenditure of small households will also be relatively reduced, and the standard of living will also be relatively improved. This is a great good thing; This is a happy event for the whole nation. I'd rather our hospital be empty. I, the attending physician, changed my career to find food......

Bai Ling heard these words clearly. She thanked the doctor from the bottom of her heart. These words clear your head. Without hesitation, she knocked on the door of the infirmary.

"Excuse me, ma'am, what's the matter with you?"

"I am Fang Ming's family. I see the attending physician. I heard that Fang Ming had something in his hands. ”

Bai Ling's words were very, very light. But it was as if a thunderclap sounded in the hearts of these medical workers. Everyone turned their attention to her first.

Nowadays, there are often conflicts between doctors and patients, especially on life-critical issues, and incidents of armed conflict have occurred repeatedly. All of them turned their eyes on the attending physician for fear of causing a war. In particular, the attending physician's speech just now was sharp and ruthless, and it was likely to become the fuse for the war.

In the face of so many angels in white, Bai Ling felt at a loss. His intimate lover walked in such a hurry, he didn't take a picture of himself, and he didn't even have time to say hello.

The attending physician suppressed the anger in his heart. It seems that he is not only a warrior who dares to fight for his life with death, but also a man who is as evil as he is. He cherishes every life, and he recognizes every patient as his own family. He wants justice for every loved one.

"Okay, you come with me."

The attending physician glanced at Bai Ling, and this glance was a few tenths of a second, and others seemed to feel as if it was half a century long. Then the attending physician took Bai Ling into his office.
