Chapter 97 "Doctor, am I dying?"

Feng Cheng is just a breakfast vendor, but he has too many people to support with the money he earns. His parents need to be supported, his wife needs to take care of the household expenses, his two children need to pay for college tuition, and he also has a mortgage of more than 3000 yuan every month.

The pressure was so great that Feng Chengdu dared not get sick.

He had been having a terrible headache lately. At first, he didn't plan to come to the hospital; he would just take a painkiller when he had a headache. But later, the headaches became more and more frequent and severe. His parents, wife, and children were very worried when they found out about the situation, so they insisted that he come.

Today, his wife dragged him here with several thousand yuan in hand.

Feng Cheng knew that this headache would require examinations, possibly including a CT scan or MRI, and a single examination could cost several thousand yuan.

He really didn't want to spend the money, but he couldn't persuade his wife otherwise.

Unexpectedly, when he got to his wife's place, the doctor asked him about his symptoms and then gave him a 10-yuan test form, telling him to come here and wait in line for the test.

Feng Cheng was a little bewildered, having never experienced a checkup that cost only 10 yuan before.

"Step forward and stand up." At this moment, Feng Cheng was guided by the nurse next to him to stand up, and then he saw the nurse press the button on the white machine with only one button.

Feng Cheng was puzzled and dared not move.

About 10 seconds later, several reports were ejected from one of the machine's ports.

Then the nurse handed him the report, saying, "Okay, take this report to the doctor. Next."

Feng Cheng was stunned and asked blankly, "Nurse, is the examination finished? No need for any further tests?"

"No need, the next one can come up. Don't waste time."

Feng Cheng went downstairs in a daze, took the report, and followed his wife to the doctor's office.

As they walked down the street, they heard people talking about the machine they had just seen. Intrigued, Mr. and Mrs. Feng listened for a while.

Soon, it became clear what was going on.

"That's actually a newly developed machine by the country. It can do a full-body scan in 10 seconds, without needing to do anything else. Is it that amazing and so convenient?"

"And it only costs 10 yuan. I originally thought that this checkup would cost at least several thousand yuan." This is also the reason why Feng Cheng, and most people, are unwilling to come to the hospital for checkups, because the initial checkups alone cost a lot of money.

"If each hospital check-up only costs 10 yuan and I can find out if I'm sick, then I'll definitely come for a check-up if I feel unwell."

After all, everyone is afraid of dying. If a disease can be detected early, it will definitely be better to detect it early and treat it early.

Otherwise, minor illnesses will turn into major illnesses, and if major illnesses are left untreated, one may only be able to wait for death.

"The country still cares about its people and is working step by step to solve the problem of people's difficulty in accessing medical care," Feng Cheng's wife said with emotion.

"If only my mom had this machine back then."

Hearing his wife's sadness, Feng Cheng understood what was going on.

My mother-in-law was feeling unwell, but because the examination would cost too much money and the family was strapped for cash, she couldn't bear to spend the money, so she kept putting it off. As a result, she kept putting it off and it turned into a serious illness. In the end, she passed away in less than a year.

This is also why Feng Cheng's wife insisted on taking him for a checkup because he had been experiencing headaches from time to time.

Soon, the couple arrived at the doctor's office, handed the form to the doctor, and casually mentioned the machine.

As the doctor looked at the report, he said, "If you go online, you'll know about this super scanner. It's not just a sensation in Jinling City, it's a sensation all over the country. I reckon it'll be known overseas soon too."

"This super scanner is really good. We people in Jinling City are lucky to have been selected by the country as the first pilot site. Currently, in the first phase, only Jinling City Hospital has it, and only locals in Jinling City can have this examination. People from other places can't do it yet." Feng Cheng and his wife suddenly realized that this was how it was.

But over there, the doctor, after looking at the patient for a while, suddenly stopped talking and frowned.

Everyone who goes to the doctor knows that what they fear most is when the doctor suddenly stops talking and starts frowning.

The couple immediately became anxious. Finally, Feng Cheng's wife asked with a heavy heart, "Doctor, what are the test results? Is he... is he alright?"

"The test results here show that the reason he has headaches is because he has a tumor in his brain."

what!
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Feng Cheng's wife's legs went weak and she almost fell. Feng Cheng quickly caught her, his heart filled with shock.

It turned out to be a tumor?
In Feng Cheng's limited understanding, having a tumor in the brain was a very dangerous thing.

"Doctor, am I going to die?"

Upon hearing Feng Cheng's words, his wife couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, grabbing Feng Cheng's hand.

"Feng Cheng, you can't be hurt, you absolutely can't be hurt. If something happens to you, what will happen to this family? What will happen to me? This family can't live without you."

"Doctor, please, please save him."

She bent over, pleading desperately, placing all her hopes on the doctor in front of her.

"Ah Juan, I, I..." Feng Cheng, who was suddenly facing death, did not know how to comfort his wife and was also at a loss.

"Don't rush, I haven't finished speaking yet," the doctor quickly interrupted them. "It's treatable, he won't die."

"Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the tumor is very small, so surgery is not needed. We'll prescribe some medication for you to take at home, and then come back for a follow-up examination. If it has dissolved, then everything will be fine."

what?
These words left Mr. and Mrs. Feng completely dumbfounded.

Even after they left the doctor's office with their medicine, the doctor's words still echoed in their ears.

"It's fortunate that we used this super scanner for the examination, otherwise such a small tumor really wouldn't have been detected."

"If it gets too big and is detected later, surgery will be needed, and there are certain risks involved. There is also a high possibility that it will grow larger and become malignant."

"Fortunately, it has been discovered now, so it should be able to be eliminated."

After returning home, Feng Cheng strictly followed the doctor's instructions and took his medication on time.

He didn't know if it was because of the medicine, but Feng Cheng felt that he had headaches less and less, and then he stopped having headaches altogether.

Half a month later, Feng Cheng returned to the hospital, spent another 10 yuan, stood in front of the machine again, and after another 10 seconds, handed the report to the doctor.

"Congratulations, the tumor in your brain has completely disappeared, and you no longer need treatment."

Okay, all done?!
Upon learning the result, the couple was overjoyed. When they passed by the super scanner again after leaving, their eyes were filled with gratitude.

Yes, it's an expression of gratitude for the machine, and also for the country that developed it and used Jinling City Hospital as a pilot site.

Without this machine, who knows what would have happened to Feng Cheng.

And now...
