Having worked for nearly half a year, I've encountered all sorts of strange patients during the summer, most of whom just start talking...

"Please, please save me."

"I don't want to die..."

"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise..."

This was the first time Xia Tian had ever encountered a patient who was about to die from a single breath.

He was stunned for a moment.

What's going on?

His wife ran away, or he discovered his son wasn't his biological child?

I pushed up my glasses to hide my embarrassment.

"Euthanasia is illegal. Hospitals have no right to prescribe euthanasia for patients. If you feel unwell, you can tell me, and I will do my best to help you."

The man's expressionless gaze perfectly embodied the phrase "the greatest sorrow is a broken heart."

"No."

"I just want to die."

The woman, presumably his wife, remained unmoved upon hearing his words, clearly indicating that she was already convinced of her husband's constant talk of death.

The woman said to Xia Tian.

"Hello Dr. Xia, my name is Xiao Hong, and this is my husband, Chen Xiao."

"My husband was in a car accident five years ago and suffered a severe lumbar spine injury. He lost sensation in his lumbar spine for a while. After treatment by doctors, he has been in good health for the past few years and has not had any major problems."

"But just a month ago, my husband started experiencing frequent back pain, which kept him up all night."

"I brought him here today to have his back checked."

Back pain can have many causes: common ones include back muscle injury, spinal disease, rib disease, thoracic and abdominal organ disease, etc. There are various possible causes.

Xia Tian asked, "What kind of pain is it? A dull ache, or a sharp pain?"

If it is a dull pain, it is more likely due to chronic strain caused by poor posture. After all, the patient has no sensation below the lumbar spine and cannot move. Maintaining one posture for a long time will cause muscle discomfort.

Xiao Hong said, "It's not a dull ache, it's a sharp pain."

"It's a pain like being pricked with needles."

A stinging pain is more serious. Diseases of the thoracic and abdominal organs can cause stinging pain, and there are many diseases of the thoracic and abdominal organs, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cholecystitis, etc.

"Lie face down on the bed, let me check on you."

"Come on, give me a hand."

Chen Xiao's legs are immobile, and he can only be supported by others.

Xiao Hong was slender, about 152 cm tall, and looked like a very petite girl. Xia Tian was shocked when she helped Chen Xiao up with one hand.

This woman is incredibly strong!

Paralyzed patients tend to be more bloated due to a lack of exercise over the years.

Chen Xiao weighs at least 140 pounds.

Xiao Hong lifted him up with one arm, and Xia Tian lifted his legs and placed him on the bed.

Chen Xiao lay motionless on the bed, not uttering a sound, as if he were dead.

Summer said to him, "If you feel unwell anywhere, just tell me."

Chen Xiao remained silent.

Just then, Xiao Hong's phone rang, and she went outside to answer it.

Only Xia Tian and Chen Xiao remained in the consultation room.

Chen Xiao spoke softly.

"Doctor, I'll give you 100,000 yuan, just kill me."

"If it's inconvenient for you, just prescribe me a bottle of sleeping pills. Don't worry, this is a secret between you and me, and no third person will know."

Ten thousand yuan to buy a life?

Human life is so worthless?

While examining the items, Xia Tian said, "Even if you give me a million, I won't give you sleeping pills. Forget about it."

Chen Xiao pleaded earnestly.

"Doctor, I really don't want to live anymore."

"What's the point of being a man without legs? I've had enough of this life. Let me die."

I have no feeling below my lumbar spine.

In other words, besides the two long legs, the short leg was also useless.

One injury can ruin three legs.

For men, it is indeed worse than death.

But as a doctor, Xia Tian could only offer comfort.

"Even if you lose your legs, you still have your hands, your wife, and your parents. There are still many things in this world worth cherishing."

Does it hurt here?

Chen Xiao remained unmoved.

His fingers pressed down his spine bit by bit, and when he reached the third vertebra above the lumbar vertebra, Chen Xiao's body visibly twitched.

Does it hurt here?

Chen Xiao remained silent.

Ok?

Is she trying to spite him?

What a cutie.

Did you think that if you kept quiet, the doctor couldn't do anything?

Xia Tian pressed down hard, and Chen Xiao's body twitched again.

"It must be very painful, right? There seems to be a tumor here; further examination is needed."

There was a hard object clearly visible under the skin on the spine, like a stone encasing the spine. It felt very hard to the touch, and Chen Xiao's body would tremble involuntarily if he pressed it lightly.

At this moment, Xiao Hong returned and asked Xia Tian about it.

"Doctor, how is my husband?"

"Is his back alright?"

Xia Tian took off his disposable gloves and said to Xiao Hong, "Preliminary observation shows a tumor. Let's get an X-ray to check it out."

As he spoke, Xia Tian quickly filled out two forms and handed them to Xiao Hong.

And helped Xiao Hong, helping Chen Xiao get off the bed.

Chen Xiao had a smile on his face.

He said with a grin, "I have a tumor, I'm going to die, hehehe, I'm finally going to die."

Why are you so happy when you're about to die?

This person really doesn't want to live anymore...

Xiao Hong frowned and scolded Chen Xiao, "Don't say such things! You're only 32 years old, you can't die!!!"

"Okay, let's go get checked."

With that, Xiao Hong pushed Chen Xiao out.

Looking at the two figures in the background, Wang Xiaobei shook his head repeatedly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Hong is really pitiful. Her husband is paralyzed and she is determined to die. In addition to taking care of her husband's food, clothing and shelter, she also cares about his feelings. It's really not easy for her."

Wang Boyi said calmly, "The patients have it tough too. Becoming a disabled person ruins their lives."

Hey……

Summer sighed: "It's not easy for anyone."

Before the text of Chen Xiao's medical condition could be entered into the computer, Yao Yao rushed back in a panic.

As soon as he entered, he rushed to ask Xia Tian a question.

"Dr. Xia, please take a look at me quickly, is there anything wrong with me?"
