The cool autumn is always extremely short, and in a blink of an eye, the longest winter of the year is here.
After winter, Xue's mother fell ill, and Xue Ling took care of her every step of the way, unable to go out for more than half a month.
Cheng Tianyuan's company is not very busy. He only works half a day every day and stays at home to help take care of the elderly the rest of the time.
Fortunately, there is an old Chinese medicine doctor and a young Western medicine doctor in the family, plus a family doctor on call 24 hours a day. Mother Xue's cold and cold gradually improved, but her mental state has not recovered and her complexion is also very bad.
Xue's father went around and around to help take care of his wife, and he was extremely worried.
Xue Zhilan took him to play chess, but he was always absent-minded and would sigh a few times from time to time.
"Zhilan, what do you think - why not go for a physical examination?" Father Xue 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 anything wrong inside."
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "No, I don't have a pulse to tell anything else is wrong."
Dad Xue asked seriously and nervously: "Really? There is nothing else wrong? Is it really just a cold?"
"Otherwise?"
Dad Xue was slightly embarrassed and hesitated: "It's not like you don't know... It's impossible for an old man like us to go to the hospital for a checkup to be normal. Today's hospital equipment is so precise that everything can be checked accurately. In our situation, we are about to be buried.
, every data is unqualified! This one is not good, that one is not good, and a lot of them are not good. You think we have reached this age, how many things can we do? If we can do everything, we will not be old people."
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "You can't say that. Although the instrument is accurate, the elderly have old age standards and cannot compare with young people. I am a doctor, so I naturally approve of annual physical examinations."
"I dare not approve." Xue's father lowered his voice: "Every time there is an inspection, either there is something wrong here, or there needs to be more attention. Young people will be trembling and nervous. Sometimes they say they can't eat this, and sometimes they say they can't eat that.
It made me even nervous."
It’s not that I didn’t have physical examinations before, but I had physical examinations every year, and later even once every six months.
Xue Huan personally watched every time, and he had to personally review various inspection lists and data sheets.
Later, Cheng Huanran also included it in his computer or mobile phone, so that the elderly can check it at any time when an unexpected situation occurs.
Xue Zhilan chuckled: "That's because the children are filial to you. Most ordinary families are unable to take the elderly for physical examinations. They usually send the elderly to the hospital to solve the problems when problems arise. In fact, the vast majority of physical examinations are after surgery or other
A physical examination strongly required by doctors after severe illness. Ordinary physical examinations are usually organized by work units, free of charge, and transportation is included. Although the medical system is becoming more and more developed, most people are not willing to have physical examinations every year. Lingling and the others can do it, which shows that they are
How much I care about you and be filial to you!"
"That's right." Xue's father naturally knew very well: "They are all very filial, and they all hope that my wife and I can live to be two hundred years old."
"A thousand years old!" Xue Zhilan joked: "It's more than that!"
Father Xue laughed loudly.
Xue Zhilan explained: "Actually, most general physical examinations are just routine physical examinations. Some small problems may not be found, and you have to re-examine carefully. If it is a big problem, it is even more impossible to accurately determine it. I suggest you do a
Just have a detailed physical examination once a year."
"No." Dad Xue still shook his head: "At our age, if there are still problems, we should solve them. If we can't solve them, let nature take its course. Just do whatever you want. If you are too old, don't force too much."
Xue Zhilan couldn't help but stare at him and asked: "Then what did you regret just now? Didn't you say that you were going to arrange for the old sister-in-law to have a physical examination?"
"If it's just a cold, there's no need." Xue's father whispered: "Don't find out anything else...it's scary, it scares yourself, and it also scares young people."
Xue Zhilan was very disapproving when he heard it, and said: "The sooner we find the problem, the better we can solve it."
"They are all old-fashioned machines, so that may not be a problem." Dad Xue chuckled: "Some problems have been solved, and people are almost gone. Rather than doing this, it is better to adjust your mentality and accept it, and endure it slowly, maybe you can live a few more years.
sky."
Xue Zhilan knew that he was referring to an elderly college friend of theirs, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Individual situations are different. If the patient is too old, sometimes the doctor will advise the patient to give up treatment and take appropriate medicine to relieve pain, rather than taking high risks with surgery."
Father Xue smiled bitterly: "He was only in his early eighties at the time... The doctor said that it would last three years without surgery, but the risks of surgery were a bit high. His children were also very filial and insisted on persuading him to have surgery and strive for success.
A few more years to live. He refused at the time, but could not resist the persuasion of his children, so he finally agreed. The operation failed and he was dead. He did not even have time to explain his last words, and the funeral arrangements were hastily and scrawled because no one expected it.
I never thought it would fail, and I always thought the operation would be successful. People naturally think that accidents like this will not happen to them."
"It's true." Xue Zhilan lamented: "Most people sit in front of the TV, watch the news on their mobile phones, and see the world from the perspective of the audience. They also instinctively intuit that the accident is someone else's and has nothing to do with them."
Father Xue lowered his voice: "I... we are just afraid of this situation. Even if something happens, we should just go quietly and don't suffer too much."
"There is nothing wrong with you." Xue Zhilan explained seriously: "Minor problems and some aging are inevitable. Among your peers, your health is considered to be excellent."
Father Xue shook his head and smiled: "Having said that, we all know it in our hearts. Things are getting worse day by day."
"Don't be pessimistic." Xue Zhilan reminded: "A good attitude is one of the secrets of longevity!"
Dad Xue laughed loudly and explained: "What I said is true, really. When I was fifty or sixty years old, I always felt the same. But when I was seventy or eighty years old, it started to be different. It didn't get better year by year. I obviously noticed it.
It came out. Later, one month was worse than the other. Now, it’s really worse every day.”
Xue Zhilan himself is an old man and has to agree with this statement.
"We are the ones in charge of our own set of old machinery. We can generally feel where it is aging or when there is something wrong."
Dad Xue gave up and said, "It doesn't matter to us! If there is no serious problem, we won't go to the hospital."
At this time, Cheng Huanran came back from get off work, washed his hands, changed clothes, and took the lead to visit a few elderly people.
