"I told him a lot of things, but he almost didn't understand. In other words, the child who was lying on the bed poisoned was the only normal person in the family."

Hu Pingtao's face was full of astonishment: "You mean, the father of the child is also a mental patient?"

Sun Jie shook his head: "There is a fundamental difference between mental retardation and mental illness. The former is just a low IQ and a biased understanding of things. The latter is different. Once you become ill, various hallucinations will appear in your brain.

This is not the point, I’ll just go on and talk about it!”

"As a father, he definitely hopes to save his child. But after examination at the hospital, ordinary treatment methods were no longer available. Because the food took too long, it was too late by the time he had gastric lavage at the township health center.

So when we get here, we can only provide dialysis and blood purification for the child."

"This costs tens of thousands, and it's hard to say whether it will work after doing it. Because the patient's condition is not very good, and he has been lying in the intensive care unit for observation. I guess the father of the child was paid by the high treatment fee I mentioned.

He was scared. He went to the ward to see the child and then disappeared."

"He came again the next day. He told me that he went back to Dongchuan yesterday and learned that his wife was dead. Now he had to save the child no matter what. He went home and borrowed 30,000 yuan from relatives and friends.

I want to perform blood purification on the child. In fact, according to my observation, it is actually very difficult to pull the child back. Even if he undergoes dialysis, he will probably have later complications. I talked with the father of the child for a while in the office and told him all the situation.

His attitude was very firm: he must undergo dialysis and purification to see if the child can survive."

"Later, the child underwent dialysis, and various indicators were relatively stable. That night, the child's father disappeared again. Two days later, he came again. I asked him where he had gone, and he said that he went back to his hometown and burned his wife.

I dug a hole and built a tomb in my own land."

"These are his original words, I haven't changed a single word." As he spoke, Sun Jie raised his head and tapped his head lightly with his finger: "He is mentally retarded, born with a disability, and is somewhat slow in language expression and emotion.

. He said that he had no money, so let’s leave the child’s matter as it is! Anyway, he has already paid the hospitalization fee, so I can take care of it. I can do dialysis as many times as I can, and if I run out of money, I’ll just give him conservative treatment.”

"Two days later, the child was severely jaundiced... There was no way, he was young, and the family's financial situation was not good, so there was no nutrition... In those few days, their elderly people came, and there were several of them in charge.

It’s the child’s grandfather. I checked the child’s liver function that day and it was found that the liver enzymes were separated.”

"Let me explain this to you. It means that during the development of hepatitis, liver cells undergo massive necrosis and their ability to process bilirubin decreases. Therefore, bilirubin rises. At the same time, transaminase has maintained a high level for a long time.

As a result, the child's food poisoning caused hepatitis. As the jaundice deepened, the activity of the enzyme also decreased... In short, the child's condition was already very bad, and I directly issued a critical illness notice."

"I specially called the patient's family for this matter. Because from a professional point of view, the child had no rescue value at that time. Taking into account the financial situation of the patient's family, I gave suggestions... But this kind of thing mainly depends on

The attitude of the family members. If they are willing to spend money to continue the rescue, that is another matter."

"The patient's family did not express their position at the time, saying they wanted to go back to discuss the matter."

"The child's grandfather found me the next morning and said something that I will never forget in my life."

Hu Pingtao asked curiously: "What did he say?"

Sun Jie raised his hand, wiped the corners of his eyes, sniffed vigorously, and said with a thick nasal voice: "He said...doctor, we know that the child will not survive. But we thought he was still young, only ten years old."

How old are you? Well... we want to donate the child's corneas, can you help us think of a way?"

Hu Pingtao and Wang Gui were both stunned.

Sun Jie continued: "There were several people in the office at that time, including me. Everyone was looking at the child's grandfather. Everyone was stunned. After a long time, I finally came to my senses and asked him: What did you just say?

Donate the child’s cornea? Instead of selling it?”

"The child's grandfather answered very definitely: Of course it is a donation! We have heard some things in the hospital these days... The child is young, and he has not enjoyed much blessings with his parents. People are going to die anyway, so just treat it like this.

Give him some blessings in the next life and find him a good family."

"I asked again: This kind of matter needs to be decided by the immediate family. Have you discussed it with the father of the child?"

"The child's grandfather said: We have already discussed it. The village insists on burying the whole body, but the cornea is just a little bit, so it won't affect it. This person has to leave some benefits for others after he comes to this world."

"I quickly called the medical department, and this matter even alarmed a vice president. Our hospital has precedents of organ donation and cornea donation, but people like this are still alive, even though they are critically ill, and their families decided to

This was the first time that corneas were donated... Later, we contacted the China Cornea Bank and they told us how to deal with it."

"The day the child died, I notified the child's father to sign. I really cried that day... The man was mentally retarded, but no one laughed at him or spoke when he signed. His handwriting was not good.

, but every stroke is very hard and very clear.”

"I am in charge of this matter, and I have always been responsible for the child's rescue and treatment. I was with him that day, and he always asked me when the staff from the cornea bank would come... I

I felt so nervous all day long, and for the first time I felt that not rescuing the child was the biggest failure of my life. But... I really tried my best."

At this point, Sun Jie couldn't control his emotions. He took off his glasses, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, and wiped his tears.

After a long time, he said slowly: "That day, the atmosphere in the ward was very heavy..."

After another long pause, Sun Jie felt better. He raised his head and looked at Cai Youping, the head nurse sitting opposite: "After the child left, the next day, she ran to the office and yelled at me, saying she was the one who donated corneas.

The patient still owed more than 3,000 yuan in unpaid treatment fees. Why did I let them run away? I said don't worry. According to my understanding of the child's father, he probably didn't owe the debt maliciously and would definitely come back to settle the debt.

Clear."

Hearing what he said, Cai Youping's face suddenly became ugly: "You mean to say that I am cold-blooded and inhumane! It is natural to pay back debts, and the hospital is not a charity. You have been doing this for a long time, but I am a bad person? Dr. Sun

, I also want to eat well, okay? I still have a big family to support. The hospital has regulations: if the hospitalization and treatment fees of any department are not settled, the monthly bonus will be withheld."

"Do you think I'm the only one scolding you behind your back? Do you think I'm that capable of dragging Xiao Zhang and the others with me? We're not deliberately making trouble, it's a normal and reasonable request."

"I know that family donated their child's corneas. I know they are good people. But even so, they have to pay the treatment fee before leaving. Am I wrong to say that?"

She turned to Hu Pingtao and said in a tough tone: "Officer, please give me your opinion."

Hu Pingtao rubbed his hands slowly, feeling a little embarrassed.

The matter is very simple, it is a matter of philosophy. From the perspective of Cai Youping, the head nurse, she did nothing wrong. After all, the hospital has regulations, and her personal interests have indeed been harmed by this.

What Sun Jie said is correct! He is the attending doctor, he is the one who treats the patients, and he knows the specific situation best.

In the final analysis, this matter is all about the word "money".

If the patient's family, that is, the father of a child with food poisoning, pays the hospitalization and treatment fees, no one will quarrel over such a thing. After all, this is a hospital, and compared to Sun Jie, the department director, Cai Youping is just a head nurse.

Although she is senior, she is definitely not willing to offend Sun Jie regarding the work and related arrangements in the department.

As she said: A bonus of several hundred yuan is very important. In the eyes of some people, it is just a meal money. But in the eyes of some people, it may be just a month's food money.

After thinking about it and weighing it carefully, Hu Pingtao said sincerely to Sun Jie: "Dr. Sun, why don't you discuss this matter carefully and resolve it internally?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Youping shouted again: "What does internal resolution mean? What you mean is that I am making trouble unreasonably when co-authoring it, right?"

"Young Master, can you please say a few words?" Hu Pingtao was so noisy by her harsh voice that he said unhappily: "I told you that the patient's family members probably did not evade the fee maliciously. Life is difficult for the whole family.

, the man is working outside to make money, the woman is a mental patient, and something like this happened to the child... I say, have some compassion, don't hang on to that little bonus."

When Cai Youping heard this, her eyebrows suddenly stood up and she got angry: "Why am I so obsessed with collecting bonuses? Do you think I am the kind of person who is blind to money? Let me tell you, my aunt, I have donated blood. When in the department?

I’ve never donated money for voluntary activities? Although it’s not much, only ten and twenty yuan each time, it’s still money!”

Hu Pingtao struck while the iron was hot: "That's right! In fact, your ideological level is quite high. Why are you making trouble in the department over this matter? I understand what happened today. Both of you are right.

And they also think about each other.”

He walked up to Cai Youping and smiled softly: "You have a fierce temper. Despite this, you still did not bring the matter to the senior leaders of the hospital. This shows that you still take good care of your colleagues in the department."

Cai Youping's face was tense, she didn't speak, and she looked indifferent. However, it could be seen from her eyes that her emotions were changing - what Hu Pingtao just said was to her liking, and it was indeed what she was thinking.

Hu Pingtao then turned to Sun Jie and advised: "You need to have a good relationship with the lesbians in the department. As I said just now, there is nothing wrong with either of you. In fact, it is a matter of mutual understanding."

Sun Jie nodded heavily and sighed: "I just think that family is so pitiful. It's not that they are poor, but the way they have done it... You don't know, the village pays attention to burying the whole body, but they just bury it."

The child’s cornea was donated… people are poor… they have great ambitions!”

Hu Pingtao also felt the same way: "Yes! There are still many good people in this world."

Seeing this, Cai Youping, who was in a calm mood, also frowned: "Sun...Old Sun, you didn't say anything about technology. Who in the general practice...or even the entire hospital wouldn't give you a thumbs up when they saw you? But you did this?

It’s really untrue.”

Sun Jie asked inexplicably: "Why am I not authentic?"

Cai Youping still frowned: "That man has no money! He looks like he is born mentally retarded. Even if others pity him and give him a job, think about it, how much can he earn in a month?"

"I have been working in the hospital for so many years, what have I never seen? The child had just been sent from the regional hospital that day. I knew as soon as I saw that his condition was not good and it would be difficult to survive... Yes, the hospital's rules and regulations can indeed make it easier.

The patient's family members are free to choose the treatment plan, but why did you let that man perform dialysis on the child?"

"He has no money... He really has no money! Do you want him to rob it on the street? Those tens of thousands of dollars are a huge sum of money for him, but for dialysis, he will spend it all just a few times.

.”

Sun Jie looked a little painful and regretful: "You are right. But... I really had no choice at the time! I am a doctor, and it is my bounden duty to treat illnesses and save people. Do you want me to tell him: Your son is hopeless? Prepare

Will you take care of his funeral arrangements at once?"

Cai Youping said seriously: "Sometimes you have to speak hard. Think about it carefully. If you had said so at that time, nothing would have happened later. We can't quarrel, and the bonuses in the department can be paid on time, and we can also pay the bonus on time."

With that man...he can save these tens of thousands of dollars, live a good life in the future, and maybe even find a new wife."

Sun Jie turned his face to one side: "I can't say this kind of thing. No matter what... you have to try to find out."

Seeing the situation reaching a stalemate again, suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.

Hu Pingtao quickly walked over and opened the door, only to see Zhang Ze standing outside. He first put his head in to check the situation, and then said to Sun Jie: "Doctor Sun, the patient's family is here."

"Which one?" Sun Jie adjusted his glasses, not understanding the situation for a while.

"It's the father of the child with food poisoning." Zhang Ze explained: "He just arrived at my place and said he was here to pay for the treatment fee."

Everyone in the room, including Hu Pingtao, was stunned.

Cai Youping's face turned red instantly. She said nothing and walked towards the door with her head lowered. Zhang Ze quickly got out of the way so as not to embarrass her.

A few minutes later, Hu Pingtao followed Sun Jie and met the child's father.
