Chapter 982 -984: Harboring Ulterior Motives
“Once signed,” it was like ancient seals.
Thus, it involved legal responsibilities.
The family was cautiously accompanying the elderly to the endoscopy room.
Everyone was particularly solicitous, to the point where Chen Cang found it hard to intervene.
Upon arriving at the endoscopy room, the examination was quickly arranged.
Considering the elderly patient’s condition, a painless gastroscopy was performed.
The endoscopist and Chen Cang were old acquaintances, and a previous “stomach battery” incident had also brought a bit of fame to Chen Cang in the endoscopy room.
Indeed, having a reputation in the hospital was a good thing.
Of course, this was not a notorious kind of reputation, but one built on genuine skill.
There were frequent cases of doctors having affairs and mistresses creating scenes at clinics.
The world was large, anything could happen!
This reputation built on skill made things easier for Chen Cang.
Because everyone wanted to know a dependable, skilled doctor.
Even other doctors felt this way.
In critical moments, seeking your help, consulting with you… all these were possible.
Seeing Chen Cang arrive, Doctor Zhang from the endoscopy department hurriedly asked, “Doctor Chen, what kind of patient is it?”
Chen Cang directly said, “Atypical spherocystosis!”
At those words, Doctor Zhang was taken aback.
After a while, he couldn’t help but shake his head, “You really do bring something new each time, increasing my knowledge, but… it’s also a real challenge!”
Soon, the elderly patient was administered anesthesia, and once it took effect, they began preparing to insert the scope.
As the endoscope gradually descended, the condition inside the stomach appeared on the television screen.
Very quickly!
The information from the screen was fed back!
The esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a tumor originating from the antrum of the stomach prolapsing into the duodenum through the pylorus!
Looking at the tumor, Chen Cang couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Looking at its irregular shape and the surrounding polyps.
Doctor Zhang also couldn’t help saying, “This… the probability of malignancy is quite high!”
Chen Cang nodded.
At that moment, Doctor Zhang from the endoscopy room said, “However… Doctor Chen, the patient does not need to undergo laparotomy, we can totally reposition the tumor back into the stomach using an endoscopic balloon catheter, thus relieving the gastroduodenal intussusception.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang’s eyes lit up.
Honestly, he was not very familiar with these endoscopic techniques.
Thinking this, he quickly said, “I’ll go get the family to sign.”
Doctor Zhang nodded, “Mm.”
…
…
At this time, outside, the four siblings began discussing a major family matter.
It concerned how to allocate the elderly’s expenses, how much each person should contribute each month.
Of course, it inevitably included who would pay for the elderly’s current hospital expenses.
When discussing inheritance and the house, everyone was very firm, not yielding an inch.
Including the two daughters, there was no concession!
After all, bringing their husbands was meant to make a statement.
In matters of inheritance, who said women were inferior to men?
All born of the same mother, why should you have what I don’t.
Fortunately, it was nighttime and there were no outsiders, so their discussion was quite unreserved.
Just as Chen Cang pressed the unlock button and exited the endoscopy room, the outside suddenly quieted down.
They hurriedly got up, “Doctor, how is it?”
Chen Cang originally felt uncomfortable watching them, but… recalling how just moments ago, everyone suddenly seemed eager to take care of the elderly, rushing to attend to him.
A thought crossed his mind!
“Two things!”
“The first thing is the gastroduodenal intussusception. We can operate through endoscopy, no need for surgery. This way, not only can you save a considerable amount of money, but it will also spare the elderly from much pain, for after all, making cuts at his age heals slowly!”
Upon hearing these words, everyone hastily said, “Yes, yes, yes, the key thing is not to suffer! Money doesn’t matter; as children, we just hope our parents are a bit better!”
Chen Cang nodded and smiled, “Hmm, you are really filial.”
“The second matter: just now the endoscopy showed the elderly man has a tumor and polyps, and now a pathological examination is needed. Please prepare yourselves mentally.”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took a deep breath, let out a sigh, and felt somewhat disheartened.
The eldest, Zhao Zhiteng, quickly said, “Doctor, there is one thing I must ask of you.”
“Please don’t tell my father about this, or else he will worry again. It’s enough that we know.”
“Right! Please, don’t let my father find out!”
After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded, “Hmm, alright!”
When Chen Cang turned to enter the endoscopy room, he shook his head.
He felt that the words “malignant tumor,” once noted in Zhao Kai’s medical record,
what difference was there between that and a “demolition” notice on one’s own house?
After returning, Chen Cang seemed to see that written on the elderly man’s forehead, among the densely packed wrinkles, was a faint “demolition” mark.
This character was what his children most wanted to see at this moment.
It was also a character that made their souls feel cheerful, seeing it could send adrenaline soaring, and they would be bold enough to buy a sports car without even blinking an eye.
The consent form was signed, and the surgery was about to begin.
Dr. Zhang, experienced in his field, pushed the endoscope deeper into the duodenum, and then the endoscope balloon began to inflate, like a balloon.
It lifted the huge drooping tumor!
Dr. Zhang couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement, “It’s so big, and it hasn’t been checked before, could it be advanced?”
“With such a large stomach tumor, there must be symptoms, right? Did the family not notice a reduced appetite or anything?”
Chen Cang said, “The elderly man lives alone.”
He didn’t say much else.
After all… he had the right to disdain such behavior but wouldn’t broadcast others’ faults.
Chen Cang was an ordinary person, not a saint, and had his own emotions.
Like the past events with Yan Ming, looking back at the punch he threw, it was certainly wrong, but… everyone has their emotions.
Right or wrong, that’s what makes a person.
Chen Cang was not a saint.
Soon, the tumor was repositioned in the stomach through the endoscope balloon catheter.
With this, the patient’s symptoms could basically be alleviated.
After leaving, Chen Cang took the elderly man back to the emergency room.
The family accompanied him the whole time!
After a night of treatment and medication, the next morning, the patient’s symptoms improved immediately, and his liver and pancreatic enzymes returned to normal.
After finding the family, Chen Cang said, “The elderly man’s condition has stabilized, and he can be discharged now. The results of the pathological examination will be ready in three days; you can collect them from the examination department then.”
The family nodded hurriedly.
Chen Cang took out the endoscopy images, “The tumor is quite large, whether malignant or not, surgery is necessary, you… should proceed with it as soon as possible.”
Everyone looked at the 4.5×4.0cm tumor, and inevitably fell into contemplation.
Seeing this, Chen Cang felt like asking if this was the cancer they harbored in their minds!
Chen Cang, looking at the elderly man’s stomach, thought that some people have tumors in their stomach that can be removed.
But what about those whose souls are afflicted with tumors? How should they be operated on?
Chen Cang thought for a while and then said, “The elderly man doesn’t have much time left, take good care of him!”
As the elderly man left surrounded by a throng, Chen Cang couldn’t help but wish him well, hoping he would have a peaceful journey.
In fact…
For the elderly man, his heart was like a mirror, having walked through life’s storms, he saw clearer than anything.
The affection bought with money, even if it had gone bad, expired, or even tasted wrong, was still affection.
And for Zhao Kai at this moment, it was essential too.
…
…
PS: Of all the cases during the few months in Oncology, this one impacted me the deepest.
Ah… life’s challenges are relentless.
Lastly, habitual plea for votes, we are now ranked 17th… woohoo!
Brothers from the starting point, reading brothers, voted… please, I beg of you…
