Chapter 3004 Chen Xile decides to marry into the family
“Doctor, I…our family’s financial situation is very poor.
I'm unemployed, my sister is still in school, and my brother has only been working for a few months."
Chen Pingan said truthfully with uneasiness.
Chen Ziyi and Chen Xile felt heartbroken as they looked at their second brother who was so humble and helpless.
How guilty my second brother must be at this moment!
If the two of them had worked harder, the second brother wouldn't have to bear the pressure alone now.
"That's it..."
The attending physician Cao Yu's expression did not fluctuate much.
Working in his position, he witnesses life and death every day. If he had a strong ability to empathize, he would probably have become depressed long ago.
Cao Yu was writing some words in his notebook that the three of them couldn't understand.
The three brothers and sisters felt their breathing was stagnant at this moment. They dared not breathe too deeply and stared at Cao Yu, expecting him to say something useful.
After Cao Yu finished writing, he looked up at Chen Pingan and said calmly: "Two treatment plans.
1. Conservative treatment: take some domestic medicine every month to delay the expansion of the patient's lesions as much as possible.
You can also take some Chinese medicine. Well... although I shouldn't say this as a doctor, I still want to say that taking Chinese medicine is basically a placebo.
But it is not completely useless. After all, the patient's own mood has a significant impact on the condition.
With some medicine, the patient won't be so desperate.
And there are also cases in medical history where patients have recovered from cancer because of their optimism.”
“Second, surgery and targeted drug treatment.
At present, your elder sister's condition is still in the middle stage and is not so serious that it cannot be treated.
Moreover, lung cancer is not a particularly severe or incurable type of cancer.
The probability of cure is still very high, reaching 40%, after removing the lesion and then treating it with targeted drugs.
Even if a cure is not achieved, patients who use this regimen can extend their life expectancy by an average of 20 years.
For a young woman like your eldest sister, who is only in her 20s, if the surgery goes well, she could easily live another 30 or 40 years."
Chen Pingan said nothing.
Chen Ziyi said excitedly: "Doctor, let's choose the second treatment plan!"
Chen Xile grabbed Chen Ziyi's hand and said in a deep voice, "Third sister, let the doctor finish."
Chen Ziyi suddenly realized that the doctor asked about their financial situation before giving them these two treatment options.
And the first treatment option the doctor proposed... was...
Although Chen Ziyi is still a student, she is no longer a child.
She would never say that she would sell everything she had to get treatment.
Because the premise of "selling everything you have" is that you have pots and iron at home.
Cao Yu remained calm and said, "Your sister's condition is very complicated, and the surgery is quite difficult. There are only about ten experts in China who can perform this surgery.
The most famous doctor in this field is Dr. Dong Renxin from Mayo Clinic in Beijing.
If you can get him to help with the surgery, then it's basically a sure thing.
But...Mayo Clinic is the world's top private hospital, so the fees are probably very high."
Chen Xile didn't say anything. He searched for Mayo Clinic on the Internet and his face was full of despair.
The registration fee for any one visit to this hospital is hundreds or even thousands of yuan, and a visit here for a cold or fever can cost tens of thousands of yuan.
The Mayo Clinic at the headquarters of the hegemonic country is even the designated place for the wealthy in the oil-producing countries to seek medical treatment. Emperors and richest people in many countries come here for treatment.
Even if he couldn't find a price list for cancer surgery, Chen Xile could imagine how terrifying the cost of surgery here was!
Chen Pingan asked hoarsely, "Then...how much money would that be?"
Cao Yu sighed: "The surgery alone will probably cost 500 million.
The whole set would cost at least eight or nine million."
At this moment, the whole office fell silent.
The three siblings seemed to have been drained of all their strength, so desperate that they couldn't even open their mouths.
"Then...what if we do it in our public hospital?"
After a few seconds, Chen Pingan asked in a trembling voice.
"If it's done in a public hospital, the whole process would probably cost one to two million.
Moreover, the top doctors at Kilometer Hospital are not available, so if you want to see them, you either have to wait or have connections.”
Cao Yu said truthfully.
Chen Pingan was silent.
He couldn't make this decision no matter what.
Chen Ziyi saw her brother's embarrassment and simply asked helpfully, "Doctor, what about the first treatment option?"
Cao Yu glanced at the three of them and sighed, "For the first option, the treatment costs would be a conservative estimate of 8,000 to 10,000 yuan per month.
If you're lucky, it can last for 10 to 20 years.
If you are unlucky, the disease can only be delayed for two or three years, and the patient may reach the late stage of cancer.
In the late stages, chemotherapy is the only option left.”
boom! ! !
Chen Pingan was struck by lightning and took a few steps back, holding onto the wall to avoid falling down.
He knew that even the cheaper option one was unaffordable for his family!
All they can do now is probably to take Chen Zhenzhen home and wait for death!
This is something Chen Pingan, who has always regarded his family as his life, cannot accept in any way!
"Ten thousand a month... and this is just conservative treatment..."
Chen Ziyi also murmured in confusion.
She has only been to the hospital a few times since she was a child. Every time she went to the hospital, she was prescribed medicine worth a few dozen yuan, and at most she was given an IV drip.
In her opinion, the cost of medical treatment is not that much.
But what happened to Chen Zhenzhen today made Chen Ziyi feel like all three views had collapsed!
Chen Xile lowered his head, clenched his palms, and said nothing.
Cao Yu saw the reactions of the three people and had a rough idea in his mind, so he simply said: "If you really have no money, take the patient back home, treat him well and make him happy.
After all, even the second option is not 100% risk-free.
I have seen too many cases where people lost both their money and their lives.
Don’t think that this is irresponsible. After all, you are not her parents. Just help to the best of your ability.
Don't let your family be ruined because of one patient."
What Cao Yu said actually violated professional ethics, but he really didn't want to see such young brothers and sisters lose both their money and their lives.
Sometimes, giving up does not mean being cold-blooded.
After all, living people are more important.
"I...can we discuss this?" Chen Pingan said.
"Yes. But before that, you have to pay Chen Zhenzhen's medical expenses.
A total of 3 yuan."
Cao Yu's words dealt another heavy blow to the three of them.
They might not even be able to raise the 30,000 yuan for Chen Zhenzhen's medical expenses now!
The three of them walked out of the office in a daze and stood in the corridor, no one said a word.
a long time.
Chen Ziyi said, "How about...talking to Mom about it?"
Chen Pingan immediately shook his head: "With Mom's mental state, I'm thankful that she can take care of herself.
Telling her about my elder sister's situation would not only be of no help, but might even make matters worse."
Chen Ziyi hesitated for a moment and said weakly, "Then... ask Dad?"
Chen Xile immediately looked disgusted: "Can he control my eldest sister?
It’s good enough that he doesn’t ask us for money!
I guess he has spent all the 50,000 yuan in his hand long ago!
Are you still looking for him?
funny!!!"
Chen Ziyi lowered her head, and this time she did not speak up for Chen Mo.
Because she also felt that it was really useless to look for Chen Mo.
"I'll go work tomorrow... I'll cover my elder sister's medical expenses..."
Chen Ziyi said resolutely.
"What nonsense are you doing!"
Chen Pingan scolded: "My second brother is not dead yet, is it your turn to take care of this family?
You study hard, graduate successfully, and find a good job. That's how you take responsibility for yourself and your family, understand?"
“But I can’t just watch my elder sister die!!!
At the very least... my elder sister should receive conservative treatment!
Let her take medicine!"
Chen Ziyi said sobbingly.
Chen Ping'an's eyes also turned red: "Don't worry, even if I have to sell blood or kidneys, I will make sure our eldest sister gets medicine!"
At this moment, Chen Xile, who was texting on his phone, stared at the ID "Tian Ningmeng" on the screen, his brows furrowed deeply...
