Chapter 25 Money, just for money?

This is a patient in charge of the bed by Kang Hong, and Wei Jun is the subject.

This overseas Chinese who has lived in Australia for many years went there when he was young. He is nearly fifty years old this year. He felt pain in his lower left abdomen, constipation, and inability to defecate. After that, he did not defecate for thirty days without defecation or even exhaust.

The Chinese felt persistent pain in the lower left abdomen and it was progressively worsened, so they went to a local hospital in Australia for examination and treatment. The effect was not good, and they still had no bowel movements or exhaust gas, and vomited. The vomiting was full of sour and smelly stomach contents.

If he has no laxative for a month, the food he eats can only be excreted through vomiting, which also indicates that he has severe intestinal obstruction and has encountered major obstacles in his bowel movement.

Overseas Chinese had a colonoscopy in a local hospital, and the result was heavy. It turned out that a large malignant tumor grew in the colon. It was the severe intestinal obstruction caused by this colon tumor that could not laxative.

Moreover, local Australian doctors have determined that it is advanced colon cancer and has systemic metastasis. There is no way to undergo surgery and can only provide parenteral nutrition support.

The patients were almost all collapsed. After crying for a few days, they returned to their country resolutely, saying that they didn't want to die in a foreign land, and that they would die in their hometown.

He is from the provincial capital, so after returning to China, he came to his parents' home in the provincial capital.

I originally thought I would die soon, but I didn’t expect that due to inability to defecate, I felt uncomfortable in abdominal distension, vomiting, and extremely painful, so I was hospitalized and asked for treatment to improve my quality of life and allow myself to walk the last part of my life peacefully. So I was admitted to the General Surgery Department of Provincial No. 3 Hospital.

Overseas Chinese are unwilling to live in the oncology department, where many dying patients are crying and making noise all day long, which affects their mood.

His wife also came back from Australia with him. The child was in high school, boarding in school, and stayed in Australia.

Overseas Chinese parents asked the hospital that they could find ways to solve their son's laxative problems and improve their quality of life.

As the main subject, Wei Jun was diagnosed with colon cancer and intestinal obstruction after examining overseas Chinese. At the request of the patient's parents, he decided to undergo surgery to remove colon cancer, thereby relieving intestinal obstruction, restoring laxative function, and improving quality of life.

However, the patient's wife firmly opposed this treatment plan. She said that since they are all in advanced cancer, the operation is of no use, and instead increases the expenses in vain. Two children spend a lot of money in Australia, and it is very difficult to rely on her alone. If the operation costs a lot of money, what will the child do in the future?

Overseas Chinese have no idea except crying, but their parents firmly demand that surgery be relieved of intestinal obstruction, relieve their son's pain, and do their best to prolong his life.

After arguing for several days, Huaqiao's wife finally gave in and agreed to the operation.

Patients with severe anemia, hypoproteinemia, and electrolyte disorders must undergo laparotomy to relieve intestinal obstruction. This is the only way out.

The operation time is set this morning.

Kang Hong was a little helpless when he heard Hu Feiyang say that the patient's wife had something wrong again. If she wanted to say something strange, let her say it. In the hospital, it was not news that the doctor heard the patient's family say something strange. If he couldn't hear something strange, it was news.

After the shift is over, the rounds begin.

The rounds are carried out in groups, otherwise the entire general surgery department would not be able to install the ward. After the grouping, this problem would not exist.

The head of Kang Hong and his team is the deputy director of the department, Chief Physician Chang Qiu, who took Wei Jun, Gu Xiujie and others to round one by one.

When he found out that the overseas Chinese ward, his wife looked very bad. She said it before they could speak. There were a few English words mixed in between the words, which made people feel very tired.

The overseas Chinese wife said to Chang Qiu: "Doctor, I can talk about ugly things first. Although I agreed to perform surgery on my husband, it is only limited to relieving intestinal obstruction. Other tumors do not need surgery, and they have all metastasized throughout the body. You can remove other tumors and will only increase his pain, not prolong his life, and also increase costs. I don't have that much money."

Chang Qiu looked at Wei Jun because this was the patient Wei Jun was responsible for.

Wei Jun nodded and said, "This point has been made clear when communicating the surgical plan. The tumor that causes intestinal obstruction will be removed. We will not remove other tumors without your consent. However, there is a saying that before, the patient has the final right to decide his body, so the patient's decision is the first to consider. In addition, his parents and your decision are equally important references. It is best for you to reach an agreement, of course, it ultimately depends on the patient's wishes."

"My husband just wants to leave calmly. He doesn't want to suffer, so he doesn't want surgery."

As soon as he finished speaking, the weak voice of the overseas Chinese lying on the hospital bed said: "This is wrong. I want to survive. I don't want to die. If the surgery can prolong my life and I will bear the pain."

His wife said angrily: "You know nothing? Australian doctors have said that you have advanced stage of bowel cancer. Foreign doctors are so good that they don't even give you surgery, because it will increase your pain and cost, and it will cost a lot of money."

Huaqiao said: "I have earned all my life, isn't it just to live a better life? As long as I can prolong my life, I am willing to spend money."

"You have to figure out that the money is not yours alone. What should you do if your two sons? And what should I do? If you spend all your money, let's drink the northwest wind?"

"There is still a house in Australia, which I bought for more than one million Australian dollars. If not, you go back and sell the house. If the house is sold, it will be enough for them to study. If it really doesn't work, go back to China. With his grandparents here, they will not starve to death."

"I just now realize why you are so selfish! Your two sons have been to high school in Australia. They all receive foreign education. Compared with China, they are two completely different educational systems, and the teaching content is also very different. If you ask your son to return to China to take the college entrance examination, you probably won't even pass the second-tier university exam, and they will be ruined!"

"Then my life is not important? Only by surviving can I earn more money and support them. Otherwise, we will only save more than 200,000 Australian dollars, which will not take long."

"It is because of the small amount of money that is used on the edge. Your cancer is in advanced stages. You know very well. The doctor said that you can't live for three months. Why do you need to spend all your savings of more than 200,000 Australian dollars in three months?"

"I have worked hard in Australia for twenty years. Can't I use the money I earn to save my life? I can save my life and I can earn more money."

"The key is that I can't save it. Don't you know? You have advanced cancer, and these doctors in China are cheating you of money! The most powerful thing for cancer patients is that before they die, the hospital will try its best to pay money from your pocket. Today's surgery is the best example! - Why do you have this surgery? I have never understood it. Is it not good like this now? Can you be better after you have done it? The surgery is a waste of money, waste of your two sons' future study and life, and the money I will live..."
