Chapter 645: Hope is shattered
"Your grandpa is indeed very ill, but he is very strong and keeps gritting his teeth and holding on. When he wakes up, you have to accompany him." Jinhuan's tone was difficult.
The boy's tears rolled in his red eyes, "I will."
"Xiao Xu, there is no place to rest in the ward, so I might as well find a guesthouse first." Wang Dapeng said.
Jinhuan nodded. Not to mention resting in the ward, there was not even a place to get off.
At first, the boy insisted on going to the guesthouse and said he wanted him to stay with Tong Shenglin.
In the end, Jin Huan advised him that the temperature was low at night and it was easy to catch a cold when sleeping on the chair at the door. If Tong Shenglin knew about it, he would feel sorry for himself. Then he followed Jin Huan and Wang Dapeng away from the hospital.
There is a guesthouse a few dozen meters away from the hospital gate, so you don’t have to look for the city in the middle of the night.
Wang Dapeng opened two rooms and the three of them rested all night.
At five o'clock in the morning, Jinhuan took the excuse of going out for exercise and went around the nearby small black market. The black market near the hospital is different from other places, and the things sold are quite targeted.
There are no other things, and the traded products are basically medicinal materials and fine grains.
Yes, you need to nourish your body when you get sick. It is not enough to rely on the hospital's medical meals. Eating more nutritious things will help you recover from the disease.
There is nothing in Jinhuan's space, but at least I have to act like this. I can't create food and medicinal materials out of thin air, but I didn't expect the harvest to be quite good.
She bought a lot of medicinal materials that are only available in Northeast China, including ginseng and deer antlers, two bear galls and more than one pound of snow clams.
The quality of these medicinal materials is very good, so I bought a little more by the way.
Jinhuan returned with a large bag of things, rented a casserole and stove at the registration office of the guesthouse, and cooked a pot of green rice porridge.
Each person divided a bowl of two-sided steamed buns from the guesthouse, and the remaining part was put into the lunch box and just took it to the hospital for Tong Shenglin to serve as breakfast.
"Grandpa, are you awake?" The boy ran into the ward.
Tong Shenglin was lying down, but he was surprised to see the boy. He struggled to support his head, "Iwan, why are you here?"
"It was Sister Xu who brought me here." Xiao Yiwan pointed at Jinhuan and Wang Dapeng.
Wang Dapeng quickly supported Tong Shenglin with quick eyes and hands, and then raised the pillow for him to lean on.
Tong Shenglin thanked Wang Dapeng, but his eyes remained on Jinhuan's face, "Little girl, your surname is Xu?"
"It seems that Mr. Tong guessed who I am?" Jinhuan put the lunch box on the cabinet.
Tong Shenglin smiled weakly, "You are Lao Xu's great-granddaughter Xiao Yu'er, right?"
"You can get it right after guessing, you are so amazing!" Jin Huan gave a thumbs up.
Tong Shenglin tried hard to smile and said, "You Xu family all look good. You are a bit ill with Lao Xu. Is Lao Xu okay recently?"
"It's pretty good. As soon as I received your telegram, my Zuzu called me immediately. I happened to be in the capital, so it's much closer to me."
"Thank you for your hard work, isn't it tiring to take the train?"
"I'm not tired. I just happened to catch the flight back from the capital from the farm. It took three hours to arrive. But I didn't know that you were in the hospital and took a bus to the 857 Farm to run, which was delayed for another day." Jin Huan shook his head and said.
Tong Shenglin asked Wang Dapeng again, "What is this comrade?"
"Comrade Wang is my uncle's liaison officer. His hometown is also from Jixi. When we come back to visit relatives, we happened to have a companion."
"Thank you, Comrade Wang, please be busy with your work," said Tong Shenglin.
Wang Dapeng waved his hands repeatedly, "You are so kind!"
When the two were polite, the doctor and the nurse came to patrol the room. The attending doctor said that Tong Shenglin could eat.
Jinhuan asked Yiwan to feed Tong Shenglin to porridge, and then followed the doctor out with the thermos bottle.
"Comrade, you are Tong Shenglin's..." The doctor knew that Jin Huan was not Tong Shenglin's relative, but before revealing the patient's condition, he still needed to ask routinely. This is the doctor's basic code.
Tong Shenglin was admitted to the hospital for several days, not only did the people who accompanied him not care enough, but even communicated directly with him in his condition.
The doctor also sympathized with Tong Shenglin's experience, but he could not cure Tong Shenglin, who was terminally ill, nor could he be able to reverse the current situation of society, and could only do his best to do his duty in his job.
"My elders and Mr. Tong have been friends for many years. The elders sent me to take care of Mr. Tong. I'll ask the doctor to tell me about Mr. Tong's condition and I can report it to my elders."
The doctor signaled to sit down, "Although the heart disease caused by trauma is difficult, it could have been done with surgery to remove shrapnel from the body, but Lao Tong's body was too weak and he might not be able to survive the surgery."
"If you do recuperate and wait until he is well before undergoing surgery? Or if you send it to the capital, the medical equipment and conditions in the capital will be relatively better." Jin Huan asked.
The doctor shook his head, "He has a heart disease and can't wait, but his liver can't wait. He has liver cancer."
"Liver cancer? Early and late stages?" I had known Tong Shenglin's condition for a long time, but Jinhuan still held a glimmer of hope.
Severe liver and ascites may not necessarily be advanced. If it is early stage of liver cancer, proper treatment may not necessarily lead to prolonging life.
The doctor spoke up and broke the last hope of Jin Huan, "In the late stage, it was delivered too late and there was no treatment in the early stage, so this disease basically happened..."
"Old Tong is pretty good. Doctor, think of a solution. Although he is a decentralized element now, you can tell from the shrapnel left in his chest that he is also a person who has made contributions to the country!" Jinhuan begged.
The doctor said with difficulty, "I know, I am also a person who has been demoted and transformed. I understand that Lao Tong is not easy and I want to cure him, but I am really powerless.
He had just sent him for more than a week and had a coma several times, which was worse than the other time. He looked so energetic now, and he was completely suppose to support himself by willpower.”
Jin Huan was silent. She took her pulse last night and knew that Tong Shenglin was exhausted, but she thought that she could still last for a while.
But now the doctor says he has been in a coma for several times, which means that the remaining time will be very short.
"This is the situation in Lao Tong now. Instead of treating him to increase his pain, it is better for you to accompany him through the last journey and be prepared for your affairs afterwards." The doctor sighed.
This is the cruelest part of the profession of doctors. Although I couldn't bear it, I had to read out the critical illness notice to the patient's family.
After studying medicine for so long, she understood the doctor's difficulties and was able to control her emotions.
But some patients' families cannot understand, and of course they cannot be so calm. The family members who are too sad will shed tears in pain, collapse and roar, and some will even kneel down and beg for the doctor to pester.
Jinhuan thanked the doctor, walked out of the doctor's office with a thermos bottle, and as soon as he went out, he saw Ivan hiding beside the door frame.
"Sister Xu, is the doctor's words true? Is my grandfather really not able to do it?" Ivan raised his face full of tears.
Jinhuan took out a handkerchief from his bag and wiped his face.
"You have heard it, and I don't lie to you. Your grandfather really has no time left, so you have to accompany him to take care of him more and let him live his last days happily and comfortably. I know you are a strong little man, you can do it, right?"
Ivan sniffed, "Yes, I can do it!"
