After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 233 My daughter is saved!

After spending an entire afternoon and a night in the hospital with her daughter, Fang Mei took the earliest bus back to her hometown early the next morning.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to stay in the hospital with her daughter and husband, but the life of ordinary people is always so helpless.

Old Xia works in a local factory. The factory leaders all know Xia Xue's situation, so they are kind enough to allow Old Xia to take a long leave to accompany his daughter to see the doctor.

But apart from the basic salary, there is naturally no performance or bonus.

The huge pressure of life for the family fell entirely on her shoulders. She didn't dare to ask for leave, and she couldn't ask for leave!
Old Xia can understand Fang Mei.

However, after hurriedly sending Fang Mei away, he could only face Xia Xue alone. He didn't even know how to face his own daughter!

But before he could recover, a voice came from the nurses' station calling him.

"Family members of bed 45 Xia Xue, please come to the nurse station to get medicine."

"Family members of bed 45 Xia Xue, please come to the nurse station to get medicine."

"Ah."

Old Xia hurried to the nurses' station.

Since he had been a long-term patient of the Hematology Department, the nurses in the department were already familiar to him, and Lao Xia recognized the head nurse standing in the nurses' station at a glance.

"Hello, head nurse. I am the family member of bed 45. I am here to get the medicine."

The head nurse, who was in her forties, glanced at Lao Xia.

The families of long-term patients like Lao Xia are familiar with the nurses in the department, and they are also quite familiar with the families of these long-term patients.

Moreover, since Old Xia was popular and had helped the department move things several times, many nurses also got to know Xia Xue's situation better.

The head nurse is no exception.

She exhaled softly:

"Family member of bed 45 Xia Xue, you are the patient's father, right?"

"Ah."

"Actually, I didn't call you here to get the medicine. Four days ago, you paid 5,000 yuan when you were hospitalized, and now you owe another 24,000 yuan."

"The hospital has just urged us to pay a few more times. You have to find a way to pay as soon as possible."

Old Xia was slightly startled, then he watched the head nurse take out a white collection notice from a folder and put it in front of him, his expression suddenly darkened.

It took four or five days and cost nearly 30,000 yuan, which is definitely a huge sum of money for other departments.

But he knew that this was the case for hematology and leukemia.

After being silent for several seconds, he finally reacted, picked up the white collection notice in front of him, took a look at it, and then put it in his pocket.

He did not forget to force a smile and said to the head nurse:

"Thank you, Head Nurse. I will find a way to pay it as soon as possible."

"Ah."

The head nurse couldn't help but sigh slightly.

To be honest, I'm used to seeing life and death, and I'm used to seeing countless patients unable to afford the high cost of treatment.

But every time they see such a situation, every nurse still feels sad.

After a moment, she explained:

"Don't blame us for rushing you. Director Hu has actually thought of many ways for you. The treatment plans he gave you are already the lowest."

"But... you know, the price of treatment is not something we can decide."

"Hurry up and try to pay the fee by noon tomorrow... Otherwise, we won't be able to get the medicine from the pharmacy next time."

"Ah."

Old Xia hummed in a low voice, then slowly walked towards the ward.

But halfway through his walk, he suddenly stopped, turned around and walked silently towards the staircase entrance of the Hematology Department.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The staircase is actually an emergency passage. Scattered cigarette butts are scattered on the ground, and the faint smell of smoke in the air proves that someone has been here not long ago.

After standing in silence for a few seconds, Lao Xia slowly sat down on the dirty stair tread.

Slowly, he took out the white bill for payment that the head nurse had just given him from his bag and stared at it:

"Currently owed: 23198.64 yuan..."

I don't know how much time had passed, but he slowly put the white payment receipt back into his bag, took out his cell phone and opened his address book.

Big brother.

Second brother.

Fourth sister...

Old Xia slowly flipped through the names in the address book one by one. He paused for a few seconds at almost every name, but quickly moved on and continued flipping through.

Until the last name, Lao Xia did not, or was unable to, make any phone calls.

Silence enveloped the small stairwell. The light from the phone screen reflected on his face, reflecting a blank look in his eyes.

After a long time, Lao Xia put the phone back into the bag, stood up, and slowly walked towards the ward.

He had never been so desperate when he needed 100 million for surgery before, but at this moment, he really didn't know what to do.

The stairwell was only twenty or thirty steps away from the ward, but it took Old Xia five minutes to walk there.

When he returned to the bedside, before he could figure out how to face his daughter, Xia Xue suddenly turned her head and looked straight at Old Xia:

"Dad, let's go home."

"I miss my grandparents. I miss my grandparents. I want to go back and see them."

Old Xia was stunned, then his heart ached, and he tightly grasped the white payment receipt in his bag.

The heart is ashamed.

……

Three days later, Xia Xue completed the discharge procedures.

Her fever symptoms have been completely controlled and her body temperature has returned to normal.

The body's acute rejection reaction was temporarily controlled, and the situation was much better than when I was first admitted to the hospital.

But Lao Xia didn't feel happy at all, he knew that all this was temporary.

Whether it is acute rejection or chronic rejection, rejection reaction will eventually occur.

As long as rejection reaction occurs, it is only a matter of time before the transplanted bone marrow stem cells completely lose their function.

With luck, chronic rejection can last for a year or two, but for those like Xiaoxue who have acute rejection and obvious functional damage...

Three months, half a year, or even a cold or fever can cause you to lose your life completely.

In the doctor's office, Old Xia was saying his final goodbyes to Director Hu.

"Director Hu, you performed Xiaoxue's surgery five years ago, and you also performed this surgery five years later!"

"The operation was actually very successful. We were just unlucky! Thank you! Thank you for taking care of us over the years!"

Director Hu took off the black-framed glasses on his nose and rubbed his face in pain.

Aren’t you sad?
That's fake.

Director Hu can even call out the names of every patient, especially those with whom he has worked for several years.

He hopes that all patients will recover in good health even more than their families.

"Hey."

Director Hu couldn't help but sigh:
"Old Xia, since you have decided to give up treatment and go home, I fully respect your choice!"

"Especially from a doctor's perspective, I even support your decision!"

"Xia Xue's condition is indeed not optimistic. She is currently unable to undergo a third bone marrow transplant. Combined with the rejection reaction, she may die on the operating table!"

"As for chemotherapy... her physical condition no longer allows chemotherapy, and soon the leukemia cells will multiply in large numbers..." "So, cherish the last moments! Take her out for a walk and have a look."

Old Xia was silent for a long time and finally nodded.

"Also, for your last hospital stay, I applied for the 'poor family subsidy' provided by Qingshan Pharmaceutical. You don't have to pay back the more than 10,000 yuan owed by the hospital. We will directly make up for it when the time comes."

"Otherwise, there's nothing special. Oh, and I've prescribed you half a year's supply of anti-rejection and platelet-raising drugs. It just so happens that your hospitalization expenses can be reimbursed more, so just keep taking them as long as you can use them!"

Old Xia nodded again, and after a long while, he whispered:
"Director Hu, thank you, you are a good doctor! I will remember you, and see you again if we are lucky enough!"

"Let's go, it's better not to see each other again!"

……

Two hours later, Xia Xue returned to her home, more than a hundred kilometers away, and returned to the rental house.

Fang Mei disinfected the whole house early as before, but when she saw Lao Xia bringing Xia Xue back home, she suddenly burst into tears and her heart was broken.

She was very clear about the significance of Xia Xue's return from the hospital this time.

Not only did she understand, Old Xia also understood, and Xia Xue was also very clear in her heart.

But what can be done?
In the following days, Xia Xue's mood improved, and Fang Mei and Lao Xia also gradually came out of the haze.

Old Xia took a month off specifically to accompany Xia Xue back to her childhood hometown and stayed at her grandparents' rural home for two days.

Soon, Xia Xue went to her grandparents' house to stay for a week. Old Xia and her grandfather accompanied Xia Xue to walk along all the paths where she had laughed and played when she was a child, and she even met her childhood playmates.

Everyone tried their best to accompany Xia Xue in every possible way.

Ten days later, Xia Xue returned home.

Uncle, uncle, aunt;
The eldest uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle;
In addition, brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and sisters who had not seen each other for a long time also flew back from other places and came to visit Xia Xue in person through the door wearing masks.

Fang Mei finally got a week's leave.

She personally accompanied Xia Xue to Chengdu to watch the concert she had been longing for, and then went to Shancheng to eat hot pot which she hadn't eaten for a long time. For a whole week, she was with Xia Xue all the time.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been with her daughter like this.

The joyful atmosphere diluted everyone's sadness, but happy times are always short. The day after returning from the mountain city, Xia Xue had a fever.

40 degrees.

Although everyone had thought of this day, no one expected it to come so soon.

Old Xia hurriedly gave Xia Xue some antipyretics, but once the effect of the medicine wore off, the high fever did not subside at all.

Fang Mei had hurried back from the company, and Old Xia stayed by his daughter's side all the time. Even Xia Xue's eldest uncle and second uncle came after hearing the news.

Looking at Xia Xue whose face was red due to fever, Old Xia squatted down and couldn't bear it anymore!

"Xiaoxue, come on, Daddy will take you to the hospital. Daddy can't abandon you!"

As he spoke, Old Xia stood up and prepared to pick up Xia Xue, but Xia Xue suddenly gently pulled Old Xia's hand.

She suddenly laughed and said softly:
"Dad, don't send me to the hospital. Just let me go in peace!"

Old Xia was stunned, and the hand that was holding Xia Xue suddenly loosened. Fang Mei beside him had already burst into tears.

"Dad...Mom, thank you for being with me all the time for the past month."

"In fact, a month ago, I knew that I had an immune rejection reaction. After the bone marrow transplant failed, I was also in pain."

"There were countless nights when I hid in my bed and cried until dawn, and I kept asking myself why me?!"

“I’m so young, why me!”

"But... this month, I have reconciled with myself. Maybe this is fate!"

"It's just... the only thing I feel guilty about is..."

"I have implicated you, so I cannot implicate you again now!"

Old Xia's tears immediately flowed down:

"Silly girl, what are you talking about?!"

"You didn't cause any trouble for us. You are mom and dad's daughter. It's dad who is useless and can't save you!"

Xia Xue still had a smile on her face. She stretched out her right hand from her thin body and gently wiped away Old Xia's tears.

"Dad, Mom, you are the best mom and dad in the world!"

"I'm useless. I've caused you trouble. After I die, you have to take good care of yourselves. If possible, give birth to a brother or sister!"

"When the time comes, you must tell them that they have a sister who is watching over them and loves them in heaven!"

Fang Mei burst into tears and Old Xia also burst into tears.

"Also, Dad, Mom, if there is an next life, I would still like to be your daughter in the next life!"

"If there is another life, I will definitely honor you well!"

"Mom and Dad, I love you!"

"Woo, woo, woo..."

"Xiaoxue..."

Fang Mei completely broke down, Old Xia also burst into tears, and even the eldest and second uncles in the living room couldn't stop crying!

Everyone knows that these are the last moments of Xia Xue's life!

Don’t they want to save Xia Xue?

Don’t they want to send Xia Xue to the hospital?
Yes I do!

But, what can we do?!

The second bone marrow transplant failed due to rejection reaction, and the leukemia cancer cells in the body could no longer be suppressed and were multiplying crazily!

Chemotherapy is no longer possible, and all we can do in the hospital is wait for death!

Waiting to die!
At the age of 26, waiting to die!

The sound of wailing echoed in the rental house. The atmosphere among everyone was depressed to the extreme, and at this moment.

Suddenly, a burst of urgent phone calls was heard in the sad air. After it rang five or six times, Lao Xia realized that it was his own cell phone ringtone!
When I took it out and looked, it was Director Hu’s!
Director Hu!
Forcibly suppressing his sadness, he quickly picked up the call:

"Hu, Director Hu..."

Director Hu on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned and heard the difference in Lao Xia's voice.

"Old Xia, what's wrong with your voice? Is... is something wrong with Xiaoxue?!"

"no!"

Old Xia took a deep breath in a hurry:

"But Director Hu, Xiaoxue's condition is very bad now. She started having a fever last night... and it hasn't gone away yet!"

"That's good, that's good!"

When Director Hu heard that Xia Xue had a fever, he actually breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good?"

After a moment, he said anxiously:

"Old Xia, let me tell you something. Don't get excited after hearing this. Calm down!"

"I just got some inside information that Qingshan Pharmaceutical has developed a drug that can treat 'acute myeloid leukemia'. It just passed the ethics review yesterday and will soon start a phase I clinical trial in our hospital!"

"Xia Xue's condition is very suitable for participation. I hope you can bring Xia Xue to the hospital right now to participate in this clinical trial!"

Old Xia was stunned, and then burst into tears!

"My daughter is saved!"

"My daughter is saved!"

"My daughter is saved!"

The sound resounds through the clouds!
