Chapter 83: It's easy to be born, it's easy to live, but it's not easy to live
Li Quan didn't know how to persuade him.
"For any cancer, the earlier it is discovered, the greater the hope of cure. As long as Director Xiong maintains a positive attitude and actively seeks treatment, I believe it can be cured."
After thinking for a long time, Li Quan finally came up with these comforting words.
"Alas... Actually, as a senior surgeon, I have treated at least a thousand cancer patients. Only a very small number of them were cured, and most cancer patients did not survive for more than five years. Pancreatic cancer is the most difficult to detect and the most difficult to control. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the first stage, which is a blessing in disguise."
"Doctor Li, I called you for no other reason than to say thank you in person. You saved not only me, but my entire family as well."
After Director Xiong calmed down, he sincerely thanked Li Quan.
Even though someone called him a sick person, he still had to say thank you to the other person with tears in his eyes. This is probably the only case in the world.
Li Quan could understand Director Xiong's feelings.
Every middle-aged man is almost the backbone of the family, with elderly parents and young children to take care of. If he falls, it will definitely be a disaster for the family.
Director Xiong's early diagnosis of cancer means that he can live more than five years longer and even have the hope of being cured.
"Director Xiong, you're welcome. I'm just doing what a doctor should do. Relax and actively cooperate with the treatment! I wish you a speedy recovery!" This was all Li Quan could do to help him.
Cancer has always been the Mount Everest of medicine, seen as an insurmountable barrier.
So far, no hospital or doctor dares to say that they are absolutely sure to cure cancer.
Even the most skilled medical team can only extend the survival time of cancer patients as much as possible and alleviate their pain.
Turning cancer into a non-fatal chronic disease that coexists with patients is the general direction of cancer research.
It's not that people don't want to eradicate cancer, but the predecessors in the medical field have suffered a lot on the road to eradicating cancer. On the contrary, the road to living with the disease is getting smoother and smoother.
Many gratifying results have been achieved.
Li Quan thought that Director Xiong would hang up the phone after this.
The other party didn't.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
"Director Xiong, is there anything else?" Li Quan was in a hurry to call his lover back and had no time to waste with Director Xiong.
"Doctor Li...your medical skills are so amazing, can you treat me?" Director Xiong must have asked this question with a blushing face at this moment.
As a senior doctor, he did not trust his own hospital or big hospitals, but turned to Li Quan, an intern, for help.
It's somewhat embarrassing.
Li Quanyou noticed that when Director Xiong praised his medical skills, he used the word "magical" instead of "exquisite", "good" or "brilliant".
To be honest, he always felt the word "magical" was a bit harsh.
Because the word "magical" means accident, fantasy, and luck. That is the favorite word of the charlatans.
He is a doctor who is scientific and rigorous. He has evidence to rely on and reason to verify when he diagnoses and treats people. He is definitely not an ancient witch doctor or charlatan who treats people by boasting, dancing , drawing talismans, exorcising evil spirits and other unreliable treatment methods.
Those people are liars, but Li Quan is definitely not.
Director Xiong waited for two seconds, but didn't hear Li Quan's response, so he continued.
"Doctor Li, let me tell you about my family situation first. I have a virtuous wife. Three years ago, she was in a car accident and her left leg was amputated. I have two children. My eldest daughter is only eight years old, and my youngest son is less than four years old. My parents are both elderly. They used to live in the countryside. Because they did too much physical work when they were young, they are now sick. I still have a mortgage of more than 800,000 yuan that I haven't paid off."
"Even if I get good treatment and can live for five years, my eldest daughter will only be 13 and my youngest son will only be 9. My current income is about 10,000 yuan, and living for only five years is really not enough. At least let me take care of my parents until they die, raise my children to adulthood, and arrange a good life for my wife. Then I can rest in peace when I die."
If Director Xiong had not reached his dead end, he would definitely not have complained to Li Quan.
"well--!"
After listening to this, Li Quan sighed heavily and felt extremely heavy-hearted.
"It's easy to be born, it's easy to live, but it's really not easy to live."
"Director Xiong, I sympathize with your situation and want to help you. But I must tell you that cancer is a difficult problem that the entire medical community has not yet solved. I can diagnose that you are sick, but I can't cure cancer. Therefore, I can't help you."
Li Quan is not a god, he is just an ordinary intern.
He is a newcomer to the medical profession.
Asking him to cure cancer is far beyond his ability. At least he doesn't have that ability now.
Perhaps he will learn more and more miraculous medical skills in the future, and as his medical skills continue to improve and his experience continues to grow, he may be able to make a difference in solving these world-class medical problems.
"Okay...thank you!" Director Xiong's voice was full of bitterness, and Li Quan even heard the sound of him sitting down heavily.
Director Xiong may have slumped in his chair.
At this moment, no one can help him. He can only calm down slowly and actively receive scientific and effective treatment.
After hanging up the phone, Li Quan was still in a heavy mood.
Everyone has their own difficulties. I hope that Director Xiong’s pancreatic cancer was discovered early, and a miracle will happen, and he will recover soon.
When he opened WeChat, Sophie left him several text messages.
"What are you doing?"
"I had a terrible day today. I was late for work."
"It's all your fault. I slept late last night and forgot to get up this morning."
…
The messages she sent were simply a girlfriend acting coquettishly to her boyfriend.
"Haha, who told you not to become my wife earlier? If you become my wife, I will make sure to wake you up on time every morning. This human-shaped alarm clock of mine is more useful than any other alarm clock."
Li Quan held her hand yesterday and their relationship quickly heated up.
He became more and more courageous in speaking.
Now, he was not worried about not being able to win Sophie's heart, but only worried about her family's objection.
Just wanting to make a lot of money and become a successful person is easier said than done!
"You wish!"
A ghost face was added at the end.
She replied to messages so quickly, almost within seconds.
"Of course I wish for you, because you are so beautiful!" Li Quan smiled sweetly. While chatting with Sophie, he walked towards the hospital cafeteria.
As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria door, the beautiful Tang Han stood up and waved at him.
"Li Quan, here, here, the meal is ready for you!" She had never taken the initiative to prepare meals for Li Quan before. This was the first time.
Fortunately, Li Quan was only chatting with Sophie by sending messages, otherwise if Sophie heard it, there would be a big mess.
