As expected of a professional doctor, he only glanced at it and touched it lightly with his gloved hand.
"Comrade, your arm is seriously injured. It must have been for many years, right?"
Father Cheng nodded and explained in a low voice the previous experience of being injured.
Director Xue listened and asked about the treatment situation.
Father Cheng and Mother Cheng answered quietly.
Xue Ling, who was on the side, took advantage of a gap and explained in a low voice: "Doctor, we came to the hospital specially this time to show my father-in-law this arm. We live in Rongcheng and drove here for a day, and the road was bumpy. , my father-in-law was in great pain, so he had to come over quickly."
Director Xue narrowed his eyes and said: "This arm is not easy to deal with. Come on, let's register the patient's information first, and then go to the back to do some X-ray examinations, and then we'll talk about it after I take a look at it. This wound is quite inflamed. Let's get some anti-inflammation first. Yes, not to make it too difficult for the patient."
Cheng Tianyuan left quickly.
Father Cheng seemed to be used to the pain and said with a smile: "Doctor, it doesn't matter if it hurts a little, I can handle it. I just want to ask, my wife hopes that I can get a prosthetic leg... maybe?"
Xue Ling and Liu Ying on the side became nervous.
Director Xue thought for a while and said: "You should be able to do this. I will make sure again when the test results come out. Because your arm has long been disabled and has shrunk into shape. In addition, there may be bone fragments left in your place." It has been relapsing over the years, but it hasn’t gotten much worse, so I can clear it up before it can be reconnected.”
Liu Ying burst into tears and swallowed: "Doctor, it can be done...right?"
She didn't understand what the doctor said, but she really didn't want to see her husband of decades suffer from the pain in his arm again. Even if she couldn't get a prosthetic limb, at least he wouldn't be in pain anymore.
Director Xue said seriously: "It has been delayed for too many years. I have to see the results of the inspection [ www.biqudu.xyz ], otherwise I dare not draw any conclusions."
Liu Ying wiped her tears and whispered: "We don't want to delay it... It's just that my family was so poor that we couldn't open the pot. The children were still young, and one of them was still in his arms. He said that raising children was important and we couldn't spend all the money on them. On the body."
Director Xue was a man accustomed to ups and downs, so he just nodded lightly.
"If a prosthetic limb can be installed, the patient is still in his fifties and should still be able to work. At least there will be no problem in daily life. It is just that the cost is a bit high. At present, the domestic prosthetic limb technology is not high enough, and our hospital uses all It’s an imported prosthetic limb.”
Xue Ling sniffed and said firmly: "We have enough money. If we can do surgery to install prosthetic limbs, doctor, please arrange it as soon as possible."
The nurse on the side reminded: "With some maintenance and medicine, it will probably cost close to two thousand yuan."
In this era, two thousand yuan is a lot of money. For ordinary families, it is impossible to spend so much money at once.
Xue Ling nodded quickly: "No problem, you can make arrangements. As long as dad doesn't suffer from pain anymore, it's fine as long as you work hard to earn the money!"
The nurse smiled softly and said, "Uncle, your daughter is very filial."
Father Cheng looked at Xue Ling lovingly, with an indescribable look of pride in his eyes.
"She is our daughter-in-law."
Director Xue saw that Xue Ling had a delicate and beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament, which was different from the strong and simple peasant atmosphere of Cheng Muhai and Liu Ying, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"It is a good thing that young people will be filial to their elders."
There were not many patients at night, and the doctors on duty were relatively free. He sat down and asked Cheng's father carefully how he was injured.
Cheng’s father carefully recalled: “Back then, I was working in a fertilizer factory in the county. One day there was a strong wind, and a makeshift shelf was blown down by the wind and fell on the office nearby. At that time, most of the office collapsed, and there were several people inside.
technicians, and my good neighbor Mr. Xue. Regardless of the danger, I pushed away some broken bricks and got in to save Mr. Xue. As soon as I pushed him out, an iron pillar fell down and hit right here...
I fainted and when I woke up the doctor said my arm was useless."
Although he just explained briefly, Xue Ling was frightened and his eyes were slightly red.
The situation must have been extremely thrilling!
She also vaguely remembered her father telling her that if her father-in-law hadn't pushed him away at that time, the iron pillar would have hit his head and killed him.
In the 1960s, medical conditions were even worse than they are now. The bones in my father-in-law’s arm were all broken. The doctors in the county were only half-qualified in their medical skills.
There is no other treatment.
Director Xue did not expect that Cheng's father was a hero who saved others, and was deeply moved by his deeds of sacrificing himself for others.
"The medical treatment in Rongcheng is not very good. What happened more than 20 years ago, if there is no timely blood transfusion and rescue, you may not even be able to survive. The technology of prosthetic limbs has just begun to mature, you come
It’s considered the right time.”
Xue Ling wiped her tears and whispered: "Then please ask the doctor to help."
The nurse on the side was fascinated by the story and couldn't help but interject: "Did the people you saved back then compensate you for anything? By the way, the fertilizer factory must compensate you."
Father Cheng gave a wry smile: "After the accident, the fertilizer factory closed down. The person I rescued... was my daughter-in-law's father. He used all his property to pay for my medical expenses. Later, after returning to the imperial capital, he also sent money several times.
Give it to me. He even married his daughter to my son, and we became in-laws."
After hearing this, the young nurse couldn't help but look at Xue Ling.
"Oh I see……"
Xue Ling saw pity and compassion in her eyes and couldn't help but smile.
"We are childhood sweethearts, and our relationship has always been very good."
The nurse nodded and said with a smile: "That's good! That's good!"
At this time, Cheng Tianyuan, who went to pay and register, came back.
"It can pass."
Xue Ling hurriedly helped Cheng's father up, while Cheng Tianyuan raised his other arm and helped Cheng's father forward, one on the left and the other on the right.
The nurse giggled and whispered to the colleague beside her: "That man is quite handsome, he is a very good-looking type."
"Yes! The girl is also very beautiful. Did you hear just now that she is a childhood sweetheart and has been in a good relationship since childhood?"
…
Soon, the preliminary inspection results came out.
Director Xue squinted for a long time and explained: "When the technicians go to work tomorrow, we will take a few more photos of the bones. Fortunately, there are not many broken bones inside. It's just that we couldn't do surgery to connect the bones back then, otherwise the arm wouldn't be so useless."
for many years."
Cheng Tianyuan asked cautiously: "Doctor, what should we do next?"
Director Xue took out his pen and said: "Go through the hospitalization procedures first, and do various physical examinations tomorrow. I will go to work the day after tomorrow, and I will make a decision after looking at the bone photos."
So that night, Father Cheng stayed in Ward No. 2 of the hospital.
As expected of a place that specializes in orthopedics, the nurse applied medicine to Father Cheng's red and swollen wounds and gave him an anti-inflammatory injection. The pain in his arm soon disappeared.
