    ?

    After thanking my wife and cousin, I hung up the phone.  Not long after, my sister's phone call came.

    "Sister, what's the matter?" I felt a little confused in my thoughts, so I was very weak in speaking.

    "I asked my classmates in the Provincial People's Hospital."

    "What did he say?" Although I had expected it a long time ago, because I am a little hesitant now, my mood has not changed in any way.

    "He said that his father had just passed away from esophageal cancer. His father was operated on at the Provincial People's Hospital, but in the endhe felt that the Municipal People's Hospital might not be so bad, so there was no need to go there.  Nanjing is here for surgery."

    "Then did you ask, how is the Municipal People's Hospital doing esophageal cancer surgery?" I asked worriedly.

    "He said that as far as he knew, it should be okay."

    I didn't ask any more questions, and hung up the phone annoyed.  Should I have the surgery at the Municipal People's Hospital?  My heart is still tangled.

    Feeling very bored.  So, I called my wife.  Tell me what's on my mind.  The wife's answer was strikingly similar to her cousin's.  Now, I feel as if I am the only one still insisting on going to Nanjing for medical treatment.

    As the saying goes, the poor are blessed if they are not sick.  This sentence is not false at all.  Now, my endless troubles come entirely from my own embarrassment.  As long as there are enough funds, my father will not be so stubborn in insisting that the operation must be performed at the Municipal People's Hospital.  If I have money, even if my sister and brother-in-law are not available, then I can spend money to hire someone to help.

    But now, because of my meager financial income, I really can't persuade my father.  At the same time, my heart was also shaken. In fact, I should also think about my wife, especially my children, so I couldn't be desperate.  In addition, it happened that my sister and brother-in-law were not free. If the operation was really performed in Nanjing, then my mother and I would really be too busy.  Because my mother is illiterate, I have to do most of the things.  I can't support it alone!  At this moment, my heart is full of helplessness and sorrow.

    "Dad, I'm sorry for you." I couldn't help but murmured.

    Looking back on the process of dealing with the attending physician, I feel that his attitude is very good, very kind and patient.  The most rare thing is to be careful.  Before the inspection, he specially reminded us of the things we should pay attention to, which allows us to avoid the phenomenon that some items cannot be inspected due to mistakes in the order of meals or inspections.  As I thought before, the "rich" are not all incompetent.  Perhaps, my father's attending physician is one of the rare people in the Municipal People's Hospital who has good professional ethics and has real materials.  Thinking of this, my heart finally felt a little better.

    Do your best to calm down the messy emotions in your heart, then call the baby who is having fun, and go home together.  My parents are still watching TV. From their relaxed and normal faces, I once again got some comfort in my heart.

    The next day, after my brother-in-law got the ct report, since there was nothing shocking except for the technical terms that people couldn't understand, he generously showed it to his father.

    After all the results came out, my brother-in-law and I accompanied my father and mother to the hospital again.  The shrewd attending physician knew that it was inconvenient for my father to know some things, so he arranged for my parents to rest outside.

    After preparing a set of normal procedures.  The attending physician began with lines that may have been repeated countless times.

    "You also know that as long as it is an operation, there will be risks." After finishing speaking, he looked at my brother-in-law and me.

    We are all smart people, of course we know what he means, so we quickly nodded in agreement.

    "This is a normal procedure. You have to make a choice now. If you finally decide to have an operation, you must sign. Once you sign, you have to bear the corresponding surgical risks."

    This time, without his signal, my brother-in-law and I nodded very cooperatively.

    "The old man's tumor is 6.5 centimeters, which is relatively large, but according to the current examination results, no metastasis of cancer cells has been found, so surgery can be performed. However, the risk of surgery is relatively greater."  The attending physician said very solemnly.

    "How big is the risk?" Hearing this, I asked a little nervously.

    "The success rate is definitely greater than the failure rate. Otherwise, we would not recommend surgery."

    Hearing this, my tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

    After seeing the change in my expression, the attending physician continued: "If the tumor is smaller, then minimally invasive can be used. The minimally invasive wound is small, and the patient suffers less. It's just a pity that the elderly cannot use this method.??Tumor removal can be done from the left and right sides.  The advantage of opening from the left side is that the cost is low, and you can apply for serious illness assistance"

    "What is critical illness assistance?" I interrupted him and asked in confusion.

    "Simply put, it has something to do with the reimbursement of medical expenses in the future, and it should be able to reimburse about 70%."

    "oh¡­¡­"

    Seeing that I understood, the attending physician continued: "But the disadvantage is that due to the blockage of the heart, the tumor may not be completely removed."

    Hearing this, my heart twitched suddenly. I understand the principle of eliminating evil and doing everything, so I have almost ruled out the plan from the left.

    "The disadvantage of opening from the right side is that the cost is higher, and you cannot apply for serious illness assistance."

    "If you don't apply for critical illness assistance, how much can you be reimbursed?" Although the first option has been ruled out by me, I still want to compare the difference in cost between the two options.

    "About forty percent."

    A difference of thirty percent is not too much.  Thinking of this, my determination to rule out the first option is even stronger.

    Seeing that I didn't ask again, the attending physician continued: "But the benefits of opening from the right side are also very obvious. Since there is no obstruction from the vital organs of the human body, we can better remove the tumor. For relatively large tumors like the elderly  , this kind of plan may be more suitable. But as a doctor, I have to analyze the stakes thoroughly, but I can¡¯t help you decide. As for which plan to adopt, it depends on how you choose.¡±

    Seeing the enquiry-like eyes of the attending physician, my brother-in-law and I said almost in unison: "The second one!"

    "Of course, it must be considered from the perspective of safety. If you want to save money, then why do you need surgery?" I already feel guilty for failing to make it to Nanjing. How can I have the slightest hesitation now?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
