812 Stomach Cancer (1/2)
”Stomach cancer ...”
Old Xu looked at the report and said nothing for a long time.
The captain and Qin Min stood next to each other. At that moment, their carefully rehearsed statements were caught in their throats.
Only the police dog Chestnut whimpered as it went near Old Xu. It rubbed his leg with its head.
Old Xu looked a little happy as he touched Chestnut's head, and he said, ”You're such a superficial dog. How long haven't you rubbed against my leg? And you're finally coming to me today?”
Chestnut did not appear to understand as it looked at Old Xu. After rubbing against him for a bit, it left.
Old Xu felt melancholy as he looked at Chestnut's thin waist, and he said, ”This superficial dog is actually pretty good-looking, but it's not friendly enough. That's why it has become our police team's dog. If it's sold at a pet shop, buyers might eliminate him from their choice.”
The squadron officer looked at Old Xu and said, ”Are you trying to express your feelings through the dog? What's with that? Are you afraid we don't want you anymore?”
”I've sweated and bled before. I've suffered before, yet have never enjoyed my life. Why would I be afraid about getting thrown out? If you guys don't want me, I can always find someplace I'm wanted,” Old Xu said a little loudly. He seemed proud, but his eyes were seemingly afraid.
Qin Min sighed secretly and whispered, ”you can treat this as a work injury. After you're healed from your injury, you can go back to work.”
”Why should I continue working? I could just keep a dog.” Lao Xu pouted and said, ”Dogs nowadays only look at faces. Rather than feeding them, it's better to just have a good-looking face.”
Zhang Anmin, who was listening, thought to himself. 'The problem is that you don't have a good face.'
Of course, this statement cannot be said to cancer patients. It was too cruel, so Zhang Anmin kept those words to himself, and at the same time, distracted himself from the uneasiness.
As a doctor, there was nothing Zhang Anmin could do about the patient's illness, and this left him rather helpless. To add on to the misery, this patient was actually the descendant of someone who died for the country. It almost sent Zhang Anmin reeling.
Aside from studying for more than ten years, Zhang Anmin had also been a doctor for more than ten years. It could be said that Zhang Anmin had spent most of his life studying. After studying for so many years and struggling for so long on the nights where he recalled his past, Zhang Anmin always came back to the same happy moment—when his potential took to the stage.
If he had six dreams in a night, three of them were about standing in the operating theater, or outside the operating theater, or in the ward. After curing the patient in any of these three places, he would smugly and righteously reject the red envelopes.
Of the remaining three, only two were scenarios in which he earned enough money and fled poverty, and one would be a scenario that resolved hair loss problems or him falling into the fear of hair loss...
Unfortunately, stomach surgery had never been in Zhang Anmin's strike zone.
Zhang Anmin shook his head secretly and said to Old Xu, ”Mister Xu, don't dwell on it. Our General Surgery Department in Yun Hua Hospital is first-class in the country. Our skill level and accumulated experience are very great. Associate Department Director Ouyang is a doctor who specializes in studying stomach surgery. Later, we will ask him to give you a detailed consultation. At present, cancer is no longer a terminal illness, and many patients can survive even with cancer. ”
”You mean it can be cured?” Old Xu looked up and asked.
”There are many people who can be cured.” Zuo Cidian moved Zhang Anmin away so that he can take over the conversation, and he calmly said, ”The malignancy of stomach cancer is usually relatively low, and the difficulty of the operation is not very large, as long as it has not developed to the stage where it's too late. Just like what Doctor Zhang said just now, Associate Department Director Ouyang of the General Surgery Department is very good...”
”Can you ask Doctor Ling to perform the surgery on me?” Old Xu suddenly interrupted Zuo Cidian's words.
