The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 1841 Can not let go

In the cardiothoracic ward of the provincial capital, Xia Hua sat quietly. (Note 1)

He had tried his best, but fate did not favor him.

His father was lying on the hospital bed, so thin that he had almost no fat. Because of the esophageal tumor, he had not eaten for a long time, and he was in the final stage of his life.

When the disease was discovered last year, it was diagnosed as late – Stage lung cancer. Xia Hua’s father firmly refused surgical treatment, subsequent chemotherapy, and targeted drug treatment.

He wanted to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of his country.

Under the care of Xia Hua and his wife, the old man got what he wanted.

In three months ‘time, he had traveled to seven or eight provinces on and off. After he returned to the provincial capital, he had wanted to leave like this.

Xia Hua was not willing to give up. He went to find Gao Shaojie and wanted to try to extend the old man’s life with the least injury.

A small amount of chemotherapy drugs was injected into the patient’s body, and the tumor tissue shrank after radio frequency resection. Although he had not fully recovered, his life could be extended by another year or so.

This was the result Xia Hua wanted.

However, an unexpected situation occurred.

Two months ago, Xia Hua’s father was diagnosed with cancer. (Note 2)

The cruelest thing was not to fall into the abyss of despair from the beginning. Instead, after giving him a certain amount of hope, things might seem to have turned for the better, but in fact, they had suddenly turned for the worse.

Dying of illness, not starving to death, this was Xia Hua’s bottom line.

The old man refused chemotherapy and even the subsequent lung surgery this time, although radio frequency chemotherapy did not cause him any substantial harm.

When people were in despair, they would always give up on themselves and hope that all these terrible things would end soon.

He refused all treatment, not even sugar saline.

Old master Xia was already unconscious, and Xia Hua only left him a punk catheter at this time. He always felt that there was a way out. If it ended like this, Xia Hua would be unwilling.

Although letting go was a good idea, and the elderly would suffer less, as long as the children had some power, who would be willing to let go?

“Dang, dang, dang~” someone knocked on the door.

Xia Hua wiped her face with her hand, trying to make herself look more energetic. He stood up and opened the door. When he saw Gao Shaojie, he forced a smile and said in a low voice,””Professor Gao, let’s talk outside.”

“Little Xia, I’ve seen the film.” Walking out of the ward, Gao Shaojie said,”it’s a little late. The old man still has heart disease. It’ll be very difficult to put an esophageal stent in.”

“Professor Gao, how confident do you think you are?” Xia Hua asked.

“If you can accept a sudden death on the operating table, I can give it a try.” Gao Shaojie said.

Xia Hua was a little conflicted.

As a doctor, he had told the patient’s family members about this method countless times.

However, when he became a family member of a patient and their identities were exchanged, he immediately felt that this kind of explanation was the most idiotic kind of communication.

But this was the truth. Gao Shaojie was also telling the truth.

Long – term malnutrition, cardiac failure, and a malignant tumor of the esophagus near the heart.

Once the esophageal stent was opened, the malignant tumor would definitely touch the heart.

Even a small squeeze could cause arrhythmia and other complications. This was what professor Gao Shaojie had said.

Xia Hua’s expression was very ugly. It had been too long since he had properly relaxed and rested, and he had overused his energy and physical strength.

“Little Xia, just do your best. You, on the other hand, need to rest well, don’t let your illness get worse. ” Gao Shaojie patted Xia Hua’s shoulder and comforted her.

“Professor Gao, I know. “As for the risk ...” Xia Hua was about to say that she could bear it, but she stopped at the last moment.

Gao Shaojie also knew Xia Hua’s mind. He sighed and said,””I’ll ask old Liu, what do you think?”

“Professor Liu Zewei? Where did he go?” Xia Hua asked.

“He went to boss Zheng’s place for in – Service training. He’s the doctor you met on the plane when you took your old man out to play last year.” Gao Shaojie said.

Xia Hua had spent most of her time and energy on her father’s treatment and care for the past six months, so she didn’t know much about other things.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Xia Hua said gratefully.

Although he had some doubts in his heart about why a professor of Liu Zewei’s level wanted to continue his studies, it was only a flash of thought. He no longer thought about this matter that had nothing to do with him.

Gao Shaojie consoled Xia Hua a little more, then took a picture of the film and sent it to Liu Zewei.

Old Liu had been studying for a few months, so his level must have skyrocketed. Gao Shaojie’s mood was a little complicated. Should I go for further studies?

......

......

“Boss Zheng, boss Gao has a video here. Would you like to take a look?” After Liu Zewei finished looking at the x – ray, he had a headache. He felt that it would be difficult to treat.

However, after being in the capital for a long time, he had habitually given the right to make the final diagnosis to Zheng Ren.

“Oh? What patient?” Zheng Ren used the afternoon to bask in the sun and read books in the system library. He came out and asked when he heard Liu Zewei talking.

“Late – Stage lung cancer and late – Stage esophagus cancer.” Liu Zewei said concisely and then sent the film to Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren took out his phone and opened the video.

The CT scan of the patient’s lung showed that the treatment of the patient’s lung cancer seemed to be going well, and he was undergoing tumor reduction surgery.

The tumor reduction surgery referred to a method that could not be removed through surgery. It reduced a part of the tumor and extended the patient’s survival time by six to twelve months.

Even the longitudinal lymph nodes had metastases. Zheng Ren estimated the patient’s survival to be around six months, which was the longest expected survival rate.

Late – Stage lung cancer. It did not seem to be fatal at the moment. The fatal thing was that there was a 6×3 cm tumor in the middle and lower part of the esophagus, which had almost blocked the esophagus.

When he applied for gastrointestinal angiography, he did not use a barium agent that was difficult to swallow and had poor fluidity. Instead, he took an oral sudoxus.

Even if it was liquid, it didn’t flow smoothly. There was only a small gap, and it was hard to say whether the Super – Smooth guide wire could pass through this narrow section.

If it was completely blocked, the esophageal stent would definitely not be able to go in.

The patient could not be conflicted and hesitant for long. At most, he had about a week.

Moreover, one week was a rather reluctant statement. Zheng Ren had not seen the medical record, so he did not know how long the tumor would take to grow.

If it was a more serious esophageal tumor, the esophagus might be completely blocked in about three days, and there would be no chance to remove an esophageal stent.

Of course, this was only one of the problems. The main problem was that the Amaranthine tumor was near the heart. After the stent was inserted, the tumor would have a certain impact on the heart.

The first time boss Zheng went to the capital, he met the doctor Who was on the plane with an old man with late – Stage lung cancer.

[Note 2: it’s an old patient of mine. He had lung cancer surgery in early November and esophageal cancer surgery in June 2011.] He recovered well after the surgery, but he climbed a mountain at an altitude of 4000 meters in 2017, which damaged his heart and lung function. Now he has asthma.
