Chapter 101 The World Is Not Worth It
The woman is Zheng Yunxia, 28 years old this year. She came to Haicheng to work as a kindergarten teacher.
Half a year ago, the unit physical examination found that the liver space-occupying lesions. She came to a city hospital for a detailed examination and was diagnosed with liver cancer and needed surgery.
Zheng Yunxia is from a rural area, and her family has no money. She has to give 500 yuan from her meager monthly income to her family, and she also needs to save money for the bride price for her younger brother.
Most of Haicheng's patients, after learning that they have liver cancer, would not choose to have surgery in Haicheng.
It is not far from the imperial capital, and the medical level is higher. The key is to go to the imperial capital to see a doctor. As long as you can be admitted to the hospital, few people will care if it costs more.
But Zheng Yunxia could only barely pay for the medical expenses for the surgery in Haicheng, which is still the "private money" accumulated over the years.
After telling her husband about the situation, she did not see her husband for two days, and no one signed the preoperative signature.
After repeated urging by the doctor, Zheng Yunxia almost collapsed.
Two days later, the husband finally came, but instead of warmth and care, he brought a divorce agreement.
The crit made her almost collapse.
In the end, I survived. The recovery was very slow after the operation. Before I fully recovered, I went to work again.
Because of cancer, it is impossible to be a kindergarten teacher.
The principal of the kindergarten said that if the parents of any child knew that their child's teacher had liver cancer, and contacted the child every day, they were afraid of falling out.
She had to do what she could.
However, fate did not end the malice against her. In her life, there is no poetry and distance, and the truth and fate will punish her even if she is far away.
A few months later, the doctor regretfully told her that the liver cancer had recurred after surgery.
Like a bolt from the blue, the news made her desperate. Surgical resection was no longer possible, so I had to go to the oncology department for chemotherapy.
There are no symptomatic first-line or second-line chemotherapy drugs for liver cancer, and it can only be done according to gastrointestinal chemotherapy.
The effect... is limited, but there is no other way but to do so.
Even if the most basic chemotherapy drugs with the highest side effects were used, Zheng Yunxia only had the money to do one treatment, and then dragged her cancer-prone body around in the city.
Earn a bite to eat and save the rest to buy relatively cheap capecitabine. She knew that capecitabine is a chemotherapy drug that targets the large intestine and has little effect on the liver.
But she had no choice.
This is close to madness, the desire to survive before dying.
Anyway, the targeted drug Zheng Yunxia is absolutely unaffordable. One is that the Chinese medicine is too expensive, and the other is that Zheng Yunxia doesn't believe it at all.
She has her own most basic judgments. Chinese medicine practitioners tell me what to look for, listen to, ask questions, and even know a special pulse. What kind of life-saving prescription can be prescribed?
This time, she was exhausted.
The increasingly tired body could not support her to do more work, and even the cheapest capecitabine was replaced by imported Xeloda, which gradually became unaffordable.
The family is still asking for money constantly, the younger brother found a girlfriend, and the betrothal gift is 120,000 yuan.
The last time I spoke on the phone was just now, Zheng Yunxia's mother nagging, this daughter has been supported for nothing, and it is useless.
She hung up the phone, said goodbye with a smile to the oncologist who had been taking good care of her, walked to the corridor, opened the window and sat on it.
Getting ready to enjoy the last time of my life, it was dark and windy, and the snowflakes hurt my face.
Hell, it's really not worth it.
This is what Su Yun told about Yu Yunxia.
Zheng Ren listened while eating, without interrupting.
The little nurse on the side listened with tears in her eyes. Although she had seen many similar situations in the hospital, each time she felt different.
"How about crowdfunding?" the little nurse asked while wiping away her tears.
For the first time, crowdfunding seemed to come to mind.
"It's useless." Su Yun narrowed his eyes into a slit and looked at Zheng Ren, "There is no specific chemotherapy drug for liver cancer. Even if you take targeted drugs, the effective rate is definitely less than ten percent."
"Then what should I do?" The little nurse was overflowing with love, but she couldn't solve a problem of this magnitude.
Zheng Ren finished the meal in two mouthfuls and began to clear the table.
"Mr. Zheng, don't you want to say something?" Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren, as if there was something in his words.
"You are particularly disgusting. If you have something to say, just let it go, and leave half of what you say. It sounds like I was reading a novel out of chapters. ." Zheng Ren said.
"Cut." Su Yun cut.
"Have you ever had liver cancer interventional embolization?" Zheng Ren asked casually while holding the packed lunch box.
"I've seen it. Teacher Pan did Xiehe intervention, and I used to be an assistant."
"It's the kind that you'll know when you've seen it." Zheng Ren's tone was ridiculed.
"Of course." Su Yun didn't seem to hear what Zheng Ren meant at all.
Simple actions, simple words, the little nurse's eyes flashed with stars.
After throwing out the garbage, Zheng Ren returned to the office and picked up the book of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, ready to go back to the duty room to sleep.
"Hey, can you do it? Let me know." Su Yun asked Zheng Ren directly when he saw that Zheng Ren was "abhorrent" and didn't talk at all.
He really is a boring person.
"Try it, cancer is late, who can be sure." Zheng Ren turned back, looked at Su Yun, and said, "Enhanced magnetic resonance is needed to judge how far it has progressed. Besides, the cost is also a problem."
"Whether it's me, the sisters of the Chu family, or your equipment nurse, there is no shortage of money." Su Yun said smartly.
"If you don't solve the problem, if you want to donate a lot, you can set up a foundation yourself." Zheng Ren's words were cold, "The emergency is not helping the poor."
Su Yun smiled, obviously he understood the truth.
Anyone who has worked in the hospital for three or five years will understand this.
Every day there are people who have no money to be automatically discharged from the hospital, and it is not Ma Da, who has so much money? The hospital expenses that cannot be settled by the hospital in one year are tens of millions or hundreds of millions more. Who can get the money?
"I want to start a new technology." Su Yun obviously thought about everything, and followed Zheng Ren's words.
"Yeah, but the problem is that my doctor's license has no scope for intervention. I can barely speak for emergency first aid. If the patient really sues, I guess my license will be revoked."
The little nurse listened to the scriptures and couldn't understand what Zheng Ren and Su Yun were saying.
In addition to taking expensive targeted drugs, the best and most effective treatment for advanced liver cancer is interventional therapy.
Super-select the location of the liver cancer, inject chemotherapy drugs, lipiodol, embolize the blood vessels, and achieve the purpose of tumor treatment.
Alternatively, radiofrequency ablation can be used to "burn" the tumor tissue to death.
This is what Zheng Ren and Su Yun were talking about. Crowdfunding alone is definitely not enough. It also depends on her sensitivity to interventional surgery. If the effect is good, it can prolong the life of three to five years.
As for the cost, this is an interventional treatment for liver cancer that no one in Haicheng has done recently, and it can barely be regarded as a new project.
For new diagnosis and treatment projects, the hospital will reduce or exempt some medical expenses.
Su Yun followed Zheng Ren back to the duty room, and the resentful eyes of the little nurse behind him made Zheng Ren tremble.
"What are you doing with me?"
"I'm your surgical assistant. The road is slippery today. If there is an emergency at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. I'll deal with it here all night." Su Yun answered as expected.
"I don't need an assistant for surgery." Zheng Ren was helpless.
"Okay, next time I will lay out the list in advance, and I can do all the sutures after the abdomen is closed. You will never be disappointed."
