Su Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
Did I make a wrong diagnosis?
Impossible!
Even if I made a wrong diagnosis, the Eye of the Doctor would never make a mistake!
Then why did Jiang Xiaoqi look so sad?
Jiang Xiaoqi handed the report to Su Cheng after reading it.
Su Cheng took a look and finally understood why Jiang Xiaoqi was frowning.
Although the old man did not do the final diagnosis and pathological examination.
However, according to the feedback, the old man's condition was basically confirmed.
However, without a medical examination, it was impossible to make a 100% accurate diagnosis.
The old man had central lung cancer. His mediastinal nodes were swollen, and he had liver metastasies.
In other words, the old man was already in the late stage of lung cancer and did not have much time left.
That was why Jiang Xiaoqi was helpless and worried.
Jiang Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said to the patient,
"Old man, where are your family members?"
The old man was stunned and a hint of worry appeared on his face.
"I came by myself. What's wrong, doctor? Is my illness serious?”
"Your illness isn't too serious, but you need to understand the situation from your family. It's best if you call your family over.”
Jiang Xiaoqi said after some consideration.
The old man smiled bitterly.
"Doctor, don't lie to me. I've lived for a long time. You don't have to hide anything from me.
"If your doctor asks me to call my family, I'm sure nothing good will happen. My wife is gone, so I'll live alone."
My son can't come over overseas either. Just tell me if he's sick. Even if it's cancer, I can handle it.”
After saying that, the old man's face was filled with deep loneliness.
It was as if he had already seen through life and death in the human world.
Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with deep sympathy.
She did not expect that the old man's old age would be so miserable.
Jiang Xiaoqi thought for a moment and decided to tell the old man the truth.
There was no point in treating the old man's current condition.
The remaining time should be controlled by him.
Instead of wasting it in the hospital for meaningless treatment.
Sometimes, it was very difficult for doctors to be doctors.
He knew what the patient's illness was, but he couldn't cure it.
He could only watch helplessly as he endured endless pain in the final moments of his life.
The good thing about the old man was that he did not have any obvious chest tightness or pain in his liver.
He was already very lucky to have this, just like other patients with the same disease.
Most patients with terminal cancer would suffer endless torment and pain until the end.
"Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth.
Your disease is lung cancer, and there have been liver metastasies. Currently, your condition is relatively stable, but there is no effective treatment.
Since there was already liver metastasizing, the surgery was meaningless.
As for radiation therapy and chemotherapy. It will only increase your pain. There was not much meaning in treating him.
The side effects of chemotherapy and chemotherapy might even accelerate the progression of your illness. It might not be worth it."
"Do you understand what I'm saying? Old man."
Jiang Xiaoqi carefully told the old man about his actual illness.
After the old man heard Jiang Xiaoqi's words, he did not say anything for a long time.
He only clenched his fists and stared ahead, his eyes empty.
Su Cheng also sympathized with the old man's experience.
However, he could not help either.
Even if he had a cheat, he still couldn't solve the problem of terminal cancer.
The old man let out a long breath, his voice filled with desolation."Doctor, thank you. I understand what you're saying.”
The old man leaned forward and stared at Jiang Xiaoqi without blinking. His voice was low.
"Doctor, how much time do I have left?”
Jiang Xiaoqi really didn't want to face the old man's desolate gaze, but as a doctor, she still opened her mouth.
"About half a year!"
"Old man, if you still have any questions, you can take all the checkups today and go to another hospital to find a respiratory specialist.”
The reason why Jiang Xiaoqi said this was to let the old man understand the severity of her illness.
Asking him to look for another hospital was also to let the old man compare goods.
Actually, sometimes, seeing a doctor was the same as buying things. One also needed to compare goods.
There was no need to talk about common diseases and minor illnesses.
If he encountered any difficult and miscellaneous diseases, it was better to consult two more hospitals.
This way, the patient would have a more accurate understanding of his illness.
"Okay, doctor. Thank you. I'm leaving!”
After the old man finished speaking, he picked up all his examination forms and slowly walked out of the consultation room.
His figure was filled with desolation.
Seeing the old man walk out of the consultation room, Jiang Xiaoqi turned around and smiled bitterly.
"Do you think I'm cruel? She told him the truth and did not give him any treatment.”
Su Cheng shook his head.
"No, you must have your reasons for doing this.”
Jiang Xiaoqi said faintly,
"In foreign countries, once a patient is diagnosed with terminal cancer, there is no point in treating them.
Doctors usually told them the truth and told them to go home and enjoy their last moments.
If he treated them, there would be no healing effect.
And in most cases, it would aggravate the development of their illness.
And let them suffer painful torture. This is inhumane."
