Life is like a journey

Regular meeting of the whole hospital.

There is a vacancy in the position of the deputy chief physician of the emergency department.

Yu Gui scratched his head with a pen, still thinking about the neuroblastoma, when the chairperson on the stage spoke.

"Today's regular meeting, we specially invited Mr. Fu from Changsheng Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., not only because he is a family member of the patient, but also because he is also an excellent cardiac surgeon. Everyone applauds and welcomes you."

Hao Renjie clapped his hands leisurely, and poked Yu Gui: "Although I am a nursing professional, I also know that there is no cure for this disease. Why do you think he came all the way here?"

"Could it be that you want to talk to the boss..."

Yu Guibai glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense."

The examination results and CT of the child were magnified on the screen. Fu Lei held a page presenter with a serious face and a white coat over a suit shirt to introduce to everyone.

"Patient Fu Peiqi, two and a half years old, has terminal neuroblastoma. The tumor is entwined in the heart, liver, kidney, large intestine, small intestine, pancreas, abdominal aorta, superior mesenteric artery, and retroperitoneum is also involved..."

There was an uproar at the bottom, and the chief physicians sitting in the front row whispered to each other and exchanged opinions in a low voice.

Liu Changsheng was sitting first on the right, his brows were frowned into a "Chuan" character, he wanted to pick up his cup for a sip of tea, he lifted it up to the air and put it down again, heaving a long sigh.

Yu Gui squeezed the pen tightly, and Fu Lei's voice on the stage suddenly became a little sad.

"Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drugs... are all ineffective, if this continues, Pepe will not survive for a month"

Someone raised his hand to answer: "Such a complicated tumor cannot be removed by conventional surgery."

"Yes." Fu Lei pressed the page presenter and put his hand on the podium: "So we, Changsheng Biopharmaceuticals, devoted all our efforts to medical scientists around the world, and researched it."

"This is..." Someone exclaimed, and Yu Gui's eyes widened.

The behemoth on the screen is... Da Vinci the surgical robot!

"Here we would like to thank the professors of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Canada for their full support. We have improved on the basis of the American version of Da Vinci, making the mechanical claws more suitable for the height and body shape of Asians, and adding advanced computer navigation. System and three-dimensional imaging lens, the field of view of general surgical navigation can be magnified by more than ten times, and that of Da Vinci is a hundred times.”

Yu Gui knew that laparoscopic thoracoscopy commonly used in surgical operations has two-dimensional vision. On this basis, the accuracy is already higher than that of thoracotomy. If the operation is performed by a skilled doctor, minimally invasive and painless touch It can even allow patients to get out of bed and move about one day after surgery.

Two-dimensional vision is already so powerful, but three-dimensional vision is equivalent to exposing the tumor to the doctor's field of vision at 360 degrees without dead angles. Coupled with precise surgical navigation, even cancer cells can be seen. The error rate is...

Yu Gui's hand on the notebook clenched into a fist, and the paper crumpled up.

One in ten million.

The room was silent, the huge auditorium was silent, someone swallowed, and a gray-haired professor stood up.

"Even with Da Vinci's ultra-high precision and ultra-fast operation speed, it is impossible to remove all tumors and perform vascular reconstruction within 15 hours. If more than 15 hours, the whole body organs are exposed to the air for too long. will die"

The Russian doctor sitting at Fu Lei's lower head opened his blue eyes and spoke fluent English: "So we need highly skilled surgeons to form a team. Each surgical team is responsible for removing the organs from the child's body. The tumor was removed from the inside and then put back in, and Da Vinci completed the revascularization, lymph node dissection and resection of the retroperitoneal tumor.”

"The Arabian Nights!"

"Such an extreme operation is impossible to succeed!"

"If it fails, the patient will die on the operating table!"

……

After a moment of dead silence, the crowd was excited, and some people refuted loudly in English.

A white van slowly stopped at the gate of the hospital, Lu Qingshi's car parked in the parking lot, and Gu Yanzhi escorted her out.

The door opened, and several doctors in white anti-radiation suits jumped out. The cargo compartment was marked with the initials of the Red Cross and the Longevity. Twine logo.

Medical contraband.

Lu Qing took a look.

"What's wrong?" came her inquiry.

She recovered and shook her head, took her bag from her hand: "Then I'm going to work."

"Okay" Gu Yanzhi gave her a hug: "Don't force it, go home and rest if you feel uncomfortable, if he comes to you again, call me, don't get angry with them yourself"

"You know……"

Lu Qingshi nodded: "I know."

Any violent emotional ups and downs would cause her to have a splitting headache, of course Lu Qingshi knew it.

But looking at the worried eyes of the other party, she still smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."

Both of them had a diamond ring of the same style on their little fingers, which reflected colorful rays of light in the sun.

How could she really rest assured that what should be warned should be told.

“Remember to eat lunch”

"it is good"

"I put vitamin C in your bag, if you feel tired, take it out to replenish blood sugar"

"it is good"

"and also……"

Lu Qingshi laughed: "Come on, if you don't leave, you will be late."

Gu Yanzhi also smiled: "Then I'm leaving, I'll pick you up after get off work in the afternoon"

Lu Qingshi waved his hand and turned around: "Come early, don't make me wait too long"

"it is good"

It wasn't until she was no longer visible that Gu Yanzhi walked back with the motorcycle keys. Just as he stepped down the steps, a drop of water fell on his forehead.

She looked up, and the sunny sky just now became cloudy at some point.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the gray-black sky.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Liu Changsheng stood up. He is now the acting dean, and his steady voice was transmitted through the microphone in the auditorium.

"The incidence of neuroblastoma is 1000 in 13. Only one child in [-] million people will get this disease. The whole world will not mention it. Among the [-] billion people in China, according to the statistics, This number is not small, but..."

He paused: "The mortality rate is [-]%. So far in the world, there is no effective medical method to cure it, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. We are like walking in the dark. The appearance of Da Vinci has given a cure to the neuroblast Tumor brings new hope"

"I remember a long time ago, at the general meeting after He Miaomiao's death, Dean Meng said that if we do some things, we may not succeed, but if we don't do them, we will fail. Children are the future of the motherland. It may become today's you, me, him, what is the reason for us to face the difficulties today and overcome the difficulties with the courage to overcome the difficulties?"

He patted his white coat: "We are doctors, and the Hippocratic oath we memorized on the first day of school is not just a slogan."

"It carries the hope of every family and the future of every child"

"The First Affiliated Hospital of Renji University of Medical Sciences is the top teaching general hospital in the country with the same reputation as Union Medical College Hospital, and enjoys a reputation all over the world. If we can't do something together, let alone other hospitals!"

His eyes swept across the audience one by one. Today, not only the doctors from Renji, but also the doctors from Xiehe were sitting in the front row, wearing the same white coats, but with different badges.

Green and red are intertwined, and everyone's face is exactly the same solemn.

"For the patients, we, as well as Leonardo da Vinci, are their last hope. This operation is not only for Pepe, but also for other sick children, and for... all mankind"

Fu Lei put down the page presenter, lowered his head, and bent deeply: "In the end, I am not standing here as a doctor. I am an ordinary father of a sick child. As Fu Peiqi's father, I beg you all..."

He put his hands on both sides of the trouser seam, bent his back, and bowed deeply: "Save my child"

Yu Gui saw large water stains on his feet, and scattered applause rang out.

After the meeting, Yu Gui cleaned up the scattered papers on the table, Fu Lei shook hands with experts and professors from major hospitals one by one, and he bowed one by one: "Thank you, thank you".

The red eye sockets did not seem to be fake, Liu Changsheng sighed: "Then let's take some time to confirm the names of the surgical teams."

Fu Lei's eyes looked over, and Yu Gui seemed to feel something when he turned around and saw the man smiling at her gently: "Let's add her to the surgery team."

Liu Changsheng didn't spit out a sip of tea: "Her? Are you sure?"

Yu Gui pursed his lips, Fu Lei walked over and reached out to her: "Would you like to join my surgery team? Doctor Yu"

Yu Gui was stunned for a moment by the word doctor, his hand holding the paper was tightened, but in an instant, he let go again.

She let out a deep breath and held his hand back.

"It's a great honor, Dr. Fu"

The Da Vinci surgical robot is already in place and undergoing intensive debugging. The list of personnel involved in the operation has also begun to be drafted. Today is Pepe's last day in the general ward. She will soon enter the sterile cabin to do the final work for the operation. Prepare.

When the first strands of hair fell, Peipei began to sob softly, the electric scalpel buzzed in her ears, and the hair kept falling and piled up under her feet. The medical staff pressed her scalp and spoke softly. Comforting her: "Pepe is good, don't cry, it will grow up in the future"

"But... bald head... it's ugly" She bit her finger, even though tears and snot flowed on her clothes from crying, she never moved, and cooperated with the doctor obediently.

"Let me do it." Jiang Jing took the electric push knife from the nurse, and pulled a piece of paper to wipe her nose.

"Mom..." Pepe cried even more sadly.

"Pepe" she touched her shiny forehead, pulled off her wig, and put her hand on her head.

"Mom is just like you, no matter what you become, you are the most beautiful child in your mother's heart"

Fu Peiqi touched her head, and then touched her own head, even the prickly touch was exactly the same.

She looked at her mother with wide eyes, gradually stopped crying, pursed her mouth, showing an expression of crying and laughing, a snot bubble hit her face with a "pop", she finally laughed, sweetly He hugged his mother's neck.

Jiang Jing hugged her, wiped her tears on the child's soft back, and when she turned her head, she saw Fu Lei standing outside the door, and waited for her to calm down before opening the door and going out.

Fu Lei pointed to her head: "When did you shave it?"

Jiang Jing smiled embarrassingly: "She entered the cabin today, I was afraid that she would cry when she cut her hair, so I went to the barber shop to have it shaved, and I thought it was to accompany her."

"give me"

"what?"

The wig in his hand was taken away, Fu Lei took a step closer and put it on her head, and adjusted the direction again.

He looked at it carefully: "Well, it's still so beautiful."

Jiang Jing's face was a little red: "Fuck you"

He touched the thin layer of stubble on his head and smiled: "Maybe I should shave my head too."

"Two bald heads are not enough, they are so ugly"

"Hahahahahahahaha is not enough, we are a family of three."

Yu Gui stood at the corner of the corridor, with his back against the wall, his eyes slightly closed, and the soda can in his hand was slightly dented due to too much force.

She threw it into the trash can with a bang, and walked into the darkness herself.

When the doctor at the Cancer Hospital sent the examination results, Lu Qingshi was sitting in a chair with her eyes closed, and even when there was no one around, her back was still subconsciously straight, and her hands were on the table. Rush out to rescue the patient pose.

Until a slight "ding dong" broke her nap, Lu Qingshi swipe the screen with his fingertips and zoom in on the scan. The hemoglobin, which represents the tumor marker... has risen again.

The doctor closed his eyes, and the winter rain came as promised, leaving winding water lines on the glass.

Someone knocked on the door.

She sat up straighter again: "Come in"

Yu Gui: "Mr. Lu, general subject meeting"

Lu Qingshi picked up his white coat and got up: "Let's go."

She opened the door and entered, looked around the meeting room, with a sneer on her lips: "When did we need outsiders to attend the meeting of our emergency department?"

Fu Lei and Jiang Jing sat at the bottom without saying a word.

There was someone else sitting at the main seat, that was originally Xu Qiankun's seat, but it was replaced by her, and now it is...

Meng Jihua was wearing a hospital gown, sitting in a wheelchair, coughing violently, no one cared about her sarcasm for a moment, Yu Gui ran to get a cup of hot water and put it in front of him, Liu Changsheng patted his back for him to breathe .

Meng Jihua waved at her, his eyes were cloudy, and he was dying of illness: "Sit down, child"

Lu Qingshi didn't intend to be in the same room with those two "persons" at all, so she maintained the posture of pushing the door and was about to close it.

Meng Jihua looked at her, he had an oxygen tube inserted in his nose, it was not convenient for him to speak, and he coughed without saying a few words.

"Qingshi, I have some last words to tell you"

Lu Qingshi's hand holding the doorknob froze.

"This is the confession letter from the director of the department..." Liu Changsheng pushed a thin piece of paper over, and Meng Jihua gasped.

"Sign on it... From now on, you will be the administrative director of the emergency department and the director of the ward... I know how much disagreement you had with Xu when he was here. At that time, I had to wrong you for the long-term plan and the overall situation of the hospital. "

"But now..." He covered his chest, feeling a little helpless: "You can make your own decisions."

An annual salary beyond her expectations was written on a thin piece of paper. Lu Qingshi pulled her lips and smiled. She changed her posture to make herself more comfortable.

Liu Changsheng saw that her expression was indisputable, and she still had a faint mocking smile, and then said: "Doctor Lu, you are still young, and there are more possibilities in the future. You will definitely go farther than me and Lao Meng." So far, so, accept it, this is also Lao Meng's wish."

Lu Qingshi tapped the thin paper with his fingertips, with a cold smile on his lips, Yu Gui had never seen such a teacher Lu before.

Indifferent, sharp, full of thorns.

"I think you are taking money to insult me ​​and want me to save their children"

She sneered and shook her head: "I want to watch that child die even more, their expressions of pain."

Yu Gui pursed the corners of his lips, but when he looked up, Fu Lei and Jiang Jing who were sitting in the corner were surprisingly calm.

Just shaking his head made Meng Jihua cough violently, he covered his lips, the back of his hand was like orange peel.

Lu Qingshi's eyes flickered.

"No... we want to ask you to... save yourself"

"I said it a long time ago... It's not easy to train a surgeon... It's even more difficult to train an excellent surgeon." He was hunched, skinny, coughing in a wheelchair, but it reminded her of a long time ago. A speech he gave a long time ago.

At that time, he was still full of energy, wearing a brand-new white coat and the dean's badge, standing on the podium in the auditorium and talking freely, showing his true feelings.

"Failure should not be an excuse for you to shrink back, but should be a reason for you to forge ahead... When you are young," he seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to regret: "You are already better than me, your grandfather, and most of the world. Doctor, we still have a long way to go, but that is not the end... As long as you are alive... everything is not the end..."

"You should survive...go...to save... more people" He coughed violently, and dark red blood spilled from his fingers.

"More...people in need...more incurable..."

"Old Meng!" Liu Changsheng sensed that something was wrong, rushed over to help him, and pushed his hand away, scarlet all over, and burst into tears immediately.

Fu Lei stood up, and Jiang Jing also stood up: "First of all, please allow us to apologize for the past and the unpleasantness that happened that day."

The two bow together.

Lu Qingshi clenched his fists, and his head began to ache.

"But we're not here for Pepe's illness, but for your own brain tumor, Qing..." He thought for a while, and changed his name to something more acceptable to her.

"Doctor Lu, your grandfather is also very worried about your condition, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Da Vinci all the way to Renji Medical University"

"Just let our team operate on you, you can save more people only if you are alive"

She remembered a long, long time ago, when she was still studying, she and Fu Lei had known each other not long ago, she was sitting on the steps of the library reading a book, the sunlight came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there was a mottled light and shadow on the floor.

The boy poked her arm with a heavy "Anatomy": "Qingshi, why did you study medicine?"

The girl closed the book and smiled at him: "Because I want to save more people."

"Is it such a coincidence? Me too"

The boy scratched the back of his head and laughed.

Lu Qingshi closed his eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, he couldn't stop laughing, his whole body trembled slightly, his cold gaze like a poisonous snake stabbed at everyone in the room like a knife.

"What do you say you want to save more people, to help every patient in need, in fact, you don't want to save your own daughter, you know that your poor machine can't avoid all the bleeding, so you need a person with a tumor organ in vitro A doctor with resection experience will be the chief surgeon, but I am in a state where I am no longer able to perform a major operation that takes more than six hours, so I want to perform the operation on me first. The successful operation kills two birds with one stone. I am grateful to Dade for performing the operation on that little bastard. When the human body experiment"

She gritted her teeth: "That's right, am I right?!"

Fu Lei shook his head slowly, and took a step forward: "No, I want to save you as well as Pepe."

"I don't deny that you want you to perform the surgery for Pepe. You are No.1 in the world with experience in this type of surgery. Pepe's blood type is not RH negative. The success rate of the operation has increased by at least 5%..."

Lu Qingshi interrupted him fiercely: "Enough! Do you know how my experience came about?! It was my son's death that prompted my experience..."

She didn't know when, her eyes were slightly red, and she held her forehead with her hand to resist the waves of pain.

"Fu Lei, do you still have the heart? That's your son too..."

Fu Lei was more heartbroken than her. A seven-foot man shed tears in front of so many people, and Jiang Jing clung to his arm and burst into tears silently.

"Pepe is my daughter too"

"Do you understand how it feels when two children have the same disease?"

"Lu Qingshi, you don't understand"

He covered his face with his hands: "If you want to punish, just punish me, why are you targeting my child, why, why, why!!!"

Lu Qing watched the farce.

The winter rain finally turned into light snow, and the last green plant on the window sill was crushed by frost and snow.

It's almost time to call it quits.

She got up slowly, picked up the letter of appointment, Yu Gui watched her tear it into pieces little by little, and with a wave of his hand, there was a blizzard in the room.

The person in the middle of the storm gently took off his badge, pressed it on the table, his palms were loosened, and there was an expressionless face underneath.

But Yu Gui felt that that face was smiling many times, except at this moment.

"From today, my career at Renji Medical University is over"

"I will never be a doctor again, let alone pick up a scalpel to save people"

"After all, I am also a dying person, am I not?"

Following the sound of her gently closing the door and leaving, the young man's eyes turned red, and it was another man who chased him out before her.
