The cool autumn is always extremely short, and in a blink of an eye it is the longest winter of the year.
After winter began, Xue's mother fell ill. Xue Ling took care of her and failed to go out for most of the month.
Cheng Tianyuan's company is not very busy. He only works half a day a day and stays at home to help take care of the elderly at other times.
Fortunately, there was an old Chinese doctor and a young Western doctor at home, plus a family doctor who was on standby for 24 hours. Xue’s mother’s cold gradually improved, but her mental state still had not recovered and her face was very bad.
Dad Xue went around the front and back to help take care of his wife, and was extremely worried.
Xue Zhilan took him to play chess, but he was always absent-minded and sighed a few times from time to time.
"Zhilan, you said - why don't you go for a physical examination?" Xue's father frowned and whispered: "I haven't had a physical examination for two or three years in a row. I don't know if there is something wrong inside."
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "No, I didn't have any other wrong place when my pulse came out."
Dad Xue asked seriously and nervously: "Really? No other problem? Is it really just a cold with a cold?"
"Otherwise?" Xue Zhilan laughed and joked: "Brother Wu, you were the one who refused to have a physical examination at the beginning, so why is it the one who regrets you now?"
Dad Xue was slightly embarrassed and stammered: "You don't know... You are old and don't die. It's normal to go to the hospital for examination. The current hospital equipment is so accurate, and everything is accurate. Just like our situation, we are about to get buried.
, All data are unqualified! This one doesn’t work, that one doesn’t work, a lot of them are not. You said that we are all at this age, how many more can we do? If everything works, then it won’t be the old man.”
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "You can't say that. Although the instrument is accurate, the elderly have the standards for the elderly and cannot compare with young people. I am a doctor, so I naturally like to have annual physical examinations."
"I dare not approve." Xue's father lowered his voice: "Every time I checked, either this place is bad, or that I should pay more attention. Young people will be trembling and extremely nervous. Sometimes they say they can't eat this, sometimes they say they can't eat that,
It made me nervous."
It was not that I had no physical examination before, but annual physical examinations, and later it was even once every six months.
Every time, Xue Huan was watching him personally, and he had to check all kinds of checklists and data tables.
Later, it was included in the computer or mobile phone by Cheng Huanran, so that the elderly can check it at any time when unexpected situations occur.
Xue Zhilan laughed: "That's because the children are filial to you. Most ordinary families cannot take the elderly to have physical examinations. Generally, they will be sent to the hospital to solve the problem when they have problems. In fact, most physical examinations are after surgery or other
The physical examination that doctors strongly requested after severe illness. Ordinary physical examinations are generally organized by the unit, and there is free pick-up and drop-off. Although the medical system is becoming more and more developed, most people do not have the awareness of physical examinations every year. Ling Ling and others can do it, which shows that
How much care about you and be filial to you!"
"That's it." Dad Xue was naturally very clear in his heart: "They were all very filial, and they all hoped that my wife and I could live to two hundred years old."
"One thousand years old!" Xue Zhilan teased: "More than that!"
Dad Xue laughed.
Xue Zhilan explained: "In fact, most ordinary physical examinations are just routine physical examinations. Some small problems may not be found, and they have to be checked carefully again. If it is a big problem, it is even more impossible to accurately determine it. I suggest you do it.
Do a fine physical examination once a year.”
"No." Xue's father still shook his head: "At our age, if you still have problems, solve the problem. If you can't solve them, let it go. If you can't, do whatever you want. If you are too old, don't force too much."
Xue Zhilan couldn't help glaring at him and asked, "Then what did you regret just now? Didn't you say you wanted to arrange for your old sister-in-law to have a physical examination?"
"If it's just a cold, then there's no need." Dad Xue whispered: "Don't find out anything else... I was frightened, scared myself and the young people."
Xue Zhilan was disapproving of it when she heard this and said, "Only by discovering the problem can we better solve the problem."
"All old machines are old, that may be fine." Dad Xue laughed: "Some problems have been solved, and people are almost gone. Instead of doing this, it is better to adjust your mindset and accept it, and endure it slowly, and maybe you can live a few more lives.
sky."
Xue Zhilan knew that he was referring to one of their senior college friends, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The personal situation is different. If you are too old, sometimes the doctor will advise the patient to give up treatment and take appropriate medicine to relieve the pain instead of taking big risks when undergoing surgery."
Dad Xue smiled bitterly: "He was only in his early 80s... The doctor said that if he didn't perform surgery, he would have to take it for at most three years, but the risk of surgery was a bit high. His children were also very filial and insisted on advising him to have surgery and strive for it.
He lived a few more years. He refused at the time, but he couldn't persuade his children one by one, so he could only agree. The operation failed and there was no one left. He didn't even have time to explain a last word, and the funeral was in a hurry. Because everyone expected it.
I never thought it would fail, and I always thought that the surgery would be successful. People instinctively thought that accidents would not happen to them."
"It's true." Xue Zhilan sighed: "Most people sit in front of TV and watch the news with their mobile phones. They always look at the audience's perspective. They instinctively feel that it is someone else's and has nothing to do with themselves."
Dad Xue lowered his voice: "I...we both are afraid of this situation. Even if there is something, just walk quietly and don't be too painful."
"You are nothing." Xue Zhilan explained seriously: "Minor problems and some aging are inevitable. Among your peers, your health is excellent."
Dad Xue shook his head and smiled: "Although that's the case, we all know it in our hearts. Now it's getting worse every day."
"Don't be pessimistic." Xue Zhilan reminded: "A good mentality is one of the secrets to longevity!"
Dad Xue laughed and explained: "What I said is true, it's true. When I was fifty or sixty, I felt that it was always the same. It started to be different in my seventies or eighties, year by year, and obviously I realized it.
I came out. Later, a month was worse than a month. Now, it was really worse than a day.”
Xue Zhilan himself is also an elderly person, and he has to agree with this statement.
"We are the controllers of our old machinery. We can roughly feel it when there is aging or when there is something wrong with it."
Dad Xue stopped his hand: "It doesn't matter! If there is no big problem, I won't go to the hospital."
At this time, Cheng Huanran came back from get off work, washed his hands, changed his clothes, and took the lead in visiting several old people.
