"Yes, I met an old patient," Gao Shaojie leaned forward slightly and said elegantly.
"My neighbor. At that time, the unit did a physical examination and found a small nodule about 1cm in his right lung. He came to me to take a look at the radiographic films, and I suggested that he be observed for three months. After three months, the small nodule grew, so I suggested that he undergo surgery. "
"After the surgery, the pathology confirmed that it was adenocarcinoma. But … the small nodule was considered to have healed after a wedge-shaped resection, "Gao Shaojie said." At that time, it was a little later than it is now. It was two weeks before New Year's Day. After the surgery, I often saw him walking downstairs. "
"He didn't scare himself to death, did he?" Su Yun asked.
"Yes. His group of old colleagues all thought that he had cancer and was afraid of being 'infected'. When they played together, they deliberately alienated him and even obviously avoided him. That patient could only walk and chat with another person who had cancer. It could be said that they sympathized with each other in the same boat. "
"After the New Year, I didn't see this patient downstairs again. One day after that, when I came home from work, I met his wife carrying a lunch box to deliver food. "
Gao Shaojie told a "story". It was clear and indifferent, without too much emotion. It was just a simple description.
However, the words "alienated" and "infected" made people not know whether to laugh or cry, but they also felt at a loss.
"I asked what happened. His wife said that the retired friend who played with him during the New Year passed away late because of cancer. After hearing the news, he was bedridden. "
"In the end, he did not die because of the advanced stage of the tumor. Instead, he was bedridden for a long time. He suffered from hypostatic pneumonia and atelectasis. In the end, he only lived for half a month before he died."
When Gao Shaojie said this, he sighed.
The situation of the patient he was talking about was similar to Bu Ruotian's situation, but it was also different.
However, people who were sick, especially those who were diagnosed with tumors, had an anxious and uneasy mentality that made people face the horror of life and death.
This was something that ordinary people would never be able to empathize with.
Even if everyone present except Song Ying was a doctor, they could not put themselves in the position of facing the horror of life and death and feel what the patient was thinking.
The patient Gao Shaojie mentioned had a mental breakdown after his "only" friend passed away. He was practically begging for death.
Bu Ruotian, on the other hand, was actively looking for a way to survive. He might even feel that his fate was full of misfortune and that it was absolutely unfair. He used the "ridiculous" method of changing his life and identity to escape the horror of life and death.
Although it looked funny, no one could laugh. This topic was a little heavy, and everyone felt suffocated.
"I have another patient." Gao Shaojie seemed to be a little depressed. In terms of clinical experience, even Zheng Ren could not catch up to him. After decades of accumulation and encountering tens of thousands of patients, similar gossip was naturally at his fingertips.
He continued, "When he came to me for treatment, he was diagnosed with liver cancer. There was a 7 × 8 cm space in the right lobe of the liver. At that time, he told me that his son was still in his third year of university and that he didn't know if he could survive until his son graduated from university. "
"I can't guarantee anything. I can only say that I'll try my best. After 12 interventional surgeries, the tumor had not been completely controlled. If Boss Zheng was here, he would probably be able to live a little longer. He might even be able to recover. "
Zheng Ren shook his head. Could he cure tumors? Old Gao was overestimating himself too much. People always had to know their own limits. Zheng Ren knew this in his heart.
"Don't talk nonsense, Old Gao," Su Yun said disdainfully. "If the boss could cure tumors, why would he worry about the Nobel Prize? The selection committee would come to the Imperial Capital to beg to receive the prize. The boss would casually kick them aside."
Gao Shaojie smiled.
"When the time comes, those who can cure tumors won't be able to win the Nobel Prize. I'm afraid this prize will also come to an end," Su Yun said.
"I think if Boss Zheng were to perform the surgery, the patient would still be able to live as long as possible." Gao Shaojie adjusted his point of view.
"Well, that's more like it. Continue."
"Later, after two years, he told me that the child had graduated from undergraduate school and was studying for graduate school. Could he survive until graduate school?"
"Three years later, he asked me if the child had found a job at a big company in Shenzhen City. He and his wife had saved money for half their lives and were preparing to buy a house for the child as a down payment. He wanted to see the child get married, so he asked me to help him. "
"After another year and a half, his son got married. He came back for the surgery and told me that he wanted to have a grandson."
Gao Shaojie calmly described the patient's constantly expanding thoughts and requests.
A doctor could only use his own skill level to try his best to do this.
However, even Zheng Ren did not have full confidence in whether he could do it, let alone Gao Shaojie.
Just as Su Yun had said, if he was confident, the Nobel Prize judges would come to the Imperial Capital to beg for the award.
A new way to treat cancer had come out. If he still could not win the Nobel Prize, this award would not be convincing.
"How long did he last?" Su Yun asked.
Every story had an end, and it was the same for everyone.
"Three months before his daughter-in-law gave birth." Gao Shaojie felt a little regretful.
"You're quite amazing, Old Gao," Su Yun praised. "You managed to treat such a big tumor for seven or eight years."
Gao Shaojie did not say anything. He just shook his head.
"The patient that Teacher Gao mentioned has a thought in his heart, right?" Lin Yuan heard the essence of the question.
"Yes." Zheng Ren nodded. "With a thought in his heart, he can more or less endure for a while longer. No matter what, he can endure longer than people who don't have any thoughts. "
"Boss, I don't agree with you using the word 'endure'." Su Yun habitually began to argue.
"That's true. Live happily and be nostalgic for the world of mortals? Why don't you add a few more beautiful words? "
"Heh," Su Yun said. "Does Bu Ruotian count?"
"I don't think so. I think his personality is too strong. He doesn't have a deep love for his family and family. What he loves the most is himself, "Gao Shaojie said." Only under such circumstances can something like this happen. "
"I hope that psychological counseling will be effective. But Boss, do you think that split personality really exists? "Su Yun asked.
"It should exist, but it's too difficult to encounter," Zheng Ren said. "There's still a debate about this in the academic community. Some people firmly refuse to admit that there is a diagnosis of split personality."
"I've seen similar records. It's said that in the history of medicine, there have only been a total of 26 people who have been confirmed to have split personality."
"Why do I remember that it's 27?" Zheng Ren frowned.
“26！”
“27！”
Gao Shaojie looked at Zheng Ren and Su Yun in a daze. They were like children, persevering for the sake of one number.
Perhaps this was also a way to relieve stress?

Note: These two cases are also my patients. The second one, Old Li, is a particularly interesting person. Patients with liver disease have a fiery temper. His nickname is Black Bear. He has big shoulders and a round waist, and he especially likes to judge. When the patients in the ward quarrel, he is the one who judges who is right and who is wrong.
Unfortunately, it's just a little short.
