While sleeping until midnight, Xiao Chen suddenly heard the knocking on the door and shouting again downstairs.
"Xiao Chen, isn't there another person seeking medical attention in the middle of the night?" Tang Bing asked as he also woke up.
"I'll go down and take a look." Xiao Chen said.
After Xiao Chen put on his clothes and went downstairs, Master Xiao Chen soon followed him out.
Xiao Chen had already seen two middle-aged men, the same two men from last night.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I, when my dad came home, he went to drink paraquat for some reason."
Paraquat?
Pesticides are commonly used for weeding in rural areas. However, as long as this pesticide sticks to the person and is drunk, one will definitely die, because drinking it will cause fibrosis in the lungs, which cannot be treated at all.
Xiao Chen really couldn't believe that this old man would go back and drink pesticide to death.
Thinking of what he said to his master this morning, Xiao Chen didn't expect that he would appear so soon.
"Doctor Xiao, please hurry up and save my father."
"Where is he?"
"At the town health center."
The middle-aged man said.
"If you drink this pesticide, it won't save you. It's useless for you to beg me."
Doctor Xiao said.
This pesticide itself has no antidote, and if you drink it, your body will absorb it, especially in your lungs, causing fibrosis, which is impossible to cure.
The two middle-aged men seemed to have collapsed. They had known this would happen for a long time.
"Master, I'll follow you and take a look." Xiao Chen said.
"you?"
"I'll go see how it goes first. Maybe I can save him."
Can it be saved?
The two middle-aged men looked happy and hurriedly took Xiao Chen away.
Xiao Chen also followed.
Seeing Xiao Chen leave, Doctor Xiao himself shook his head.
Xiao Chen already said that the old man was about to die, and it seemed that Xiao Chen's treatment would be of no use.
After Xiao Chen left, Mrs. Xiao Chen also came down and asked, "Didn't someone shout downstairs just now?"
"The old man who came to seek medical treatment last night drank pesticide, and now Xiao Chen followed him."
"Why is this necessary?" Mrs. Xiao Chen was very surprised.
As the saying goes, poor and humble couples suffer from everything.
For a poor rural family like this, it is even more troublesome when there are so many people.
Now that I’m celebrating the New Year, I never expected that such a tragedy would happen. If the old man didn’t want to die, he probably wouldn’t be like this.
Xiao Chen followed two middle-aged men.
"Isn't your father fine this morning? Why is it like that?" Xiao Chen asked.
He believed that if the father of the two middle-aged men drank the medicinal soup according to the prescription prescribed by his master, and after a period of conditioning, the heart failure would definitely be cured.
Unexpectedly, the old man now wants to die.
"We didn't know it at first. When we returned to our hometown with my father, I didn't know who said something to him. Then my father went out to sit on the top of a hill all afternoon and drank pesticide when he came back.
When we found him, he was already frothing at the mouth, and we rushed him to the hospital for gastric lavage."
Said something?
"What did you say?"
"It must have been those sisters-in-law who scolded him for being too old and said a lot of nasty things, all related to the division of farmland at home," the middle-aged man said.
Xiao Chen shook his head.
After following the two people to leave Xiaojiacun, even if they walked too fast, it took more than three hours to get out of Xiaojiacun. Now I was almost running.
When we arrived at the health center in the small town, it was already past five o'clock in the morning.
There were not many people in the health center, but in the ward of the father of the two middle-aged men, which is still in the large ward, there were many other patients.
Now there is a young man watching there. This young man is the grandson of the old man, but the son of the old man's other son is here.
"Uncle Third, is Dr. Xiao here?" the young man asked.
"The little miracle doctor is here."
The middle-aged man said.
Xiao Chen went over first and saw the old man on the hospital bed. In fact, he was almost dying now.
Moreover, Xiao Chen didn't even need to check to know that the old man had drunk a lot of paraquat, and even a timely gastric lavage would be of no use.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man asked: "Little miracle doctor, can my dad still be saved?"
"You said that your family is like that. If I save him, your father can live on. He has been suffering from illness for a long time, and now he is being abused by this kind of family."
but
, Xiao Chen still said: "I will talk to the old man alone, you go out first."
Now let’s see how the old man’s desire to survive is?
If the old man doesn't want to live, I'm afraid Xiao Chen won't be able to save him even if he wants to, because now that Xiao Chen wants to use mysterious medical skills, the first thing is to get the patient's consent and trust in his medical skills.
If the old man himself didn't agree or didn't believe in Xiao Chen's medical skills, then Xiao Chen wouldn't be able to do anything.
When the three people went out, Xiao Chen asked: "Old man, I am from Xiaojia Village, and my master is Doctor Xiao. I want to ask you now, do you want to live to be a hundred years old?"
Xiao Chen spoke a local dialect, which the other party should understand.
However, the old man's empty and painful eyes, apart from a slight struggle at the beginning, soon seemed to give up.
This old man has no desire to live at all, which means that the other person is worse off than alive, and alive is worse than dead. Now it is not just the illness, the painful torture caused by drinking pesticides, but the children of this family in his old age.
When they were young, not only could they not enjoy family happiness, but they were physically and psychologically abused.
For the elderly, what does life mean?
Therefore, for this old man, death may be the best way to escape.
Xiao Chen asked many times, it is best that old people are like that.
However, now the old man seems to have something to tell Xiao Chen.
"Old man, what do you want to say?"
The old man talked a lot with difficulty. Looking at the situation, Xiao Chen knew that he had finally returned to his former glory, and he was afraid that he might not be able to survive much longer.
Xiao Chen hurriedly called the three people outside the door to come in.
"The old man has given up his desire to live. I have no way to treat him. Now he has returned to his former glory. Perhaps this is the last time you will see him."
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, the three people hurried in.
Soon, there was crying.
Xiao Chen looked over again and found that the old man was dead. His eyes were open and he looked like he was dying with his eyes closed. He had no breath anymore.
"Little, little miracle doctor, my dad." the middle-aged man asked.
"I saw something was wrong with your dad last night, but some things are already destined, and I can't change them. Your dad said many things to me just now, including your brothers.
