The number of patients in the Emergency Department was endless. After Zhou Litao dealt with one patient, more patients came in.
It was not until the emergency surgeon finished his meal that he was replaced.
Zhou Litao greeted them and asked Zheng Ren and Su Yun to change their clothes.
Su Yun told Zhou Litao about the diagnosis of the old master. Before Chief Zhou left, he told the emergency surgeon about the patient.
The three of them went out and rented a car.
Zhou Litao held his phone in his hand. He had just called for a taxi. He looked at his phone in a daze.
"What are you looking at?" Su Yun asked.
"This car …" Zhou Litao was a little helpless as he handed the phone to Su Yun and Zheng Ren.
It was clearly written in the remark — — This seat is for wife only. If there are too many people riding, you can change to another vehicle.
"Tsk tsk." Su Yun said, "Chief Zhou, look at him, then look at you!"
"Me?" Zhou Litao was a little confused.
"This kneeling is so mindful!" Su Yun said, "If you had half of his thoughts, not to mention one girlfriend, you would be able to grab eight to ten of them."
"…"
Zhou Litao carefully pondered over Su Yun's words.
"Let's go back. It's too crowded for the three of us to sit in the back seat," Su Yun said as he took out his phone and called another car.
The Cui family lived in a residential area near the Third Ring Road. The residential area was relatively old and was built more than 20 years ago.
They arrived at the residential area and got out of the car. Zhou Litao led them through the neighborhood with familiarity.
"Director Zhou, do you really not need to bring anything?" Su Yun asked. It seemed that the two of them had communicated before, but there was no such thing in Zheng Ren's mind.
"Cui Lao doesn't like it. He thinks it's a waste," Zhou Litao said. "He's already used to it. He comes empty-handed, but sometimes he can get a free meal."
He didn't smile when he said this. His expression was serious.
Zheng Ren could tell from Zhou Litao's emotions that Cui Lao's situation might not be very optimistic.
When they arrived at the Cui family's house, the nanny opened the door and they walked in.
The house was very simple. Other than the nanny, there was no one else. Cui Lao laid on the bed, looking a little dispirited.
His System Panel was very red, but it did not give any clear diagnosis.
Zheng Ren knew that Cui Lao was old.
Cui Lao perked up a little when he saw them. Zhou Litao helped him sit up and leaned his back against the headboard.
"Little Zheng, are you busy recently?" Cui Lao asked.
"I'm fine. I haven't seen you visit the patient these days. I asked Chief Zhou and he said that you caught a cold." Zheng Ren tried his best to lighten the situation.
"It's not a cold. I'm getting old." Cui Lao knew very well that even though his spirit was average, his mind was still very sharp and didn't show any signs of being muddle-headed.
"How old are you? There are many people who are over a hundred years old now." Su Yun said.
"It's not small anymore. We medical practitioners have to admit the objective facts." Cui Lao said calmly, as if he was giving a diagnosis every time he saw a patient. It didn't seem like he was talking about his own situation at all.
"The nervous system can still keep up, and there is enough blood supply to the brain. This is good enough." Cui Lao smiled faintly. "His heart, liver, and kidneys are all slowly aging. Who knows, he might just pass away with a cough."
"Please don't say that." Zheng Ren had a bad feeling about this.
However, Cui Lao's condition wasn't something that could be treated with medicine. Unless there was a technological advancement that could replace all the organs in his body.
Or there was a setting that often appeared in sci-fi movies like metal bones that could allow Cui Lao to live for another few decades.
However, no one could solve the problem of brain aging now. There were even very few relevant scientific research reports. It was a no man's land.
"Little Zheng, Little Su, Little Zhou, you've been working in the clinic for about ten years, and you've seen quite a number of patients." Cui Lao said, "It's a blessing, a great blessing, to be able to sneeze and leave."
Everyone was silent.
For someone like Cui Lao, who had already become indifferent to life and death … Very few people could do such a thing.
Cui Lao was truly open-minded, Zheng Ren thought to himself.
"I'm old, and I have many children and grandchildren. They can come and see me after work. What else can I ask for? There are also some things that I can't let go of. I've collected some data for a lot of scientific research, but I don't have the time to sort them out. "Cui Lao sighed slightly.
Zheng Ren did not dare to answer.
This was the point that maintained Cui Lao's life. People were just a thought.
If he agreed to it and did not have any thoughts, Cui Lao might just pass away with a smile.
"Cui Lao, don't say that." Su Yun smiled and blew at his forehead. The black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind. "We're all young people. What do we know about scientific research? You have to hurry up and go back. At the very least, you have to tell us your thoughts. "
"Nonsense." Cui Lao smiled. "You've published a lot of literature reports in New England and the Lancet."
"That's all to fool the foreign devils. It's useless," Su Yun said.
"You're fooling an old man like me." Although Cui Lao's body could not hold on anymore, his brain was still quite good. He knew what Su Yun was thinking. "Let's not talk about anything else. The intrauterine intervention surgery that you and Boss Zheng performed a few days ago is a big deal."
As he spoke, Cui Lao seemed to be in high spirits and began to ask about the main points of the intrauterine intervention surgery.
What kind of patient was suitable, what things to pay attention to during the surgery, and what to pay attention to when looking for the puncture point with a B-scan.
Every step was asked about the most important points, and Zheng Ren answered them one by one.
It seemed that Cui Lao also had a deep understanding of intrauterine intervention surgery. If it was not for the fact that his body could not take it, he would definitely have come into contact and tried it.
Now that time had passed and taken away the vitality of life, Cui Lao could only speak about the ideas in his heart.
Zheng Ren did not expect to see Cui Lao to talk about surgery and diagnosis.
It was estimated that Cui Lao had spent all his life on clinical work. Even when he was at the end of his rope, he still did not care about anything else.
When it came to the technical points of intrauterine intervention surgery, Su Yun and Zhou Litao could not interrupt.
Zheng Ren was worried about Cui Lao's body. Although he saw that his complexion had improved a little when he talked about the surgery, this was the scariest thing.
If not for the fact that the color of the System panel had not changed, Zheng Ren would have been worried that Cui Lao was dying.
After talking for a full half an hour, Zhou Litao could not help but interrupt him several times. Cui Lao let out a long sigh after asking the last question.
"Little Zheng, I heard that the obstetrics and pediatrics departments have already started preparing?"
"Yes, we'll make the relevant preparations first and then study it together," Zheng Ren said very politely.
Cui Lao closed his eyes. The question just now had consumed too much of his energy.
After a few minutes, Cui Lao suddenly said, "Little Zheng, I have a favor to ask of you."
